The Curse of Regression

7: World of Blocks - Not a Hero but a Villain

"Chance okay ka lang?" nag-aalala na tanong ni Matteo

"Okay lang ako Mat" sagot ko sa tanong niya

Napansin ko ang paglapit ng ibang grupo ni Claude at ang dating pang-iinsulto nila sakin ay napalitan ng pamumuri. I notice Claude smilling at me, this bastard is planning something masyadong maganda ang pagkakangiti niya kaya hindi ako makapante

Natigil ang pag-uusap namin ng may marinig akong boses. Hindi matinis at hindi rin mababa, boses babae.

"Sir!" sigaw ng dalagita at tumakbo patungo kay Winter

Bakit tinatawag siya nitong sir? Mali ba ang akala ko na siya yun?

The child looks like a teenager and her hair is tied up into a ponytail like Mira. Mukhang siya ang umatake samin kanina but if she's her then why is she hugging this guy?

The man was shock but he look assured when he saw who called him "Mira"

Tawag nito na ikinakunot ng noo ko. Mira? Miracle Vera? My party member? who is him to her life, bakit kilala niya ang party member ko? Noong 0th turn wala naman sinabi sakin si Mira na kilala niya si Winter. I massage my nose bridge while looking at them.

"Chance kilala mo ba siya?" tanong sakin ni Matteo tumango ako

Narinig ko yun ng dalaga kaya napatingin ito saakin

"Chance?' nang-aasar na tawag sakin ni Mira

Peke akong ngumiti sakanya. Sino ba nanay ng batang ito? At bakit parang hindi tinuruan ng manners

"Kilala mo yan Mira?" tanong ni Winter

Tumango naman ito kay Winter at lumapit sakin. Tinignan niya muna ako mula ulo hanggang paa bago ngumiti "Ang pangit mo parin"

Wala talagang respeto itong batang ito

"Paano mo nakilala ang lalake na yan Mira?" tanong ni Winter na parang isang tatay iniinterview ang manliligaw ng anak niya.

Napansin ko ang masamang tingin sakin ni Winter. For pete's sake bakit ganyan siya tumingin? Don't tell me iniisipan niya ako ng masama? Goddamn it higit ten years pagitan ko dito Kay Mira kaya huwag niya na balakin pag-isipan ako ng masama kasi hindi ako pedophile.

"Kasama ko siya pumunta sa triagonal sir" sagot nya

"Kasama mo siya sa triagonal?' tumilim sakin ang tingin ni Winter

"Eh yan si Winter saan mo yan nakilala Mira?" tanong ko habang nakangisi lang pero alam ko na sinadya niya ito

Kilala si Mira sa isa sa malalakas na players sa 0th turn dahil nasa grupo ko siya kaya siguro balak niya agawin si Mira sa grupo ko. Nagtataka na tumingin samin ang dalagita bago sumagot

"Subject teacher ko siya ever since first year ko sa highschool" sagot nito saakin

"Motherfxcker" bulong ko na hindi niya narinig pero mukhang naintindihan niya kaya sumama ang tingin nito saakin

"Can we cut the introduction?" tanong ni Aries na pumagitna saamin "Bata may pagkain ka ba diyan?"

Walang emosyon si Mira sakaniya at bigla nalang naglabas ng dagger at itinapon ito patungo sakanya.

"Shit" nabigla ang lalake "Ano bang problema mo?!"

Bumalik ang dagger na may nakatusok na mansanas. Dumaplis lang ang dagger sa damit niya kaya't wala siyang sugat.

"Pagkain?" walang emosyon parin nitong tanong

Napalunok si Aries habang kami naman ni Winter ay nagkatinginan. Mukhang nakapansin ang dalaga na may kakaiba sa grupo nina Claude. What am I expecting she's not part of the rank for nothing.

"M-Miss pwedeng humingi rin ako ng makakain?" tanong ni Matteo at bigla nalang tumunog ang kaniyang tiyan.

Namumula itong umiwas ng tingin kaya naman binato sakanya ni Mira ang isang tinapay.

"Sandali bakit tinapay-" pagrereklamo ni Aries

"May reklamo ka?" nanlalaking matang tanong nito

"Halatang may favoritism ka" pagkokomento ni Miguel

"May favoritism talaga ako" sagot nito sakanya

Nagpakilala na sila sa isa't isa

"Mira" tawag ni Winter "Saan ka tumutuloy at sinong kasama mo?"

"Wala akong tinutuluyan at patay na lahat ng mga kasama ko" natahimik ang lahat sa sagot nito

Dahil sa tanong ni Winter ay agad kong naalala sina Saphira at Jayden. Kasama niya ba sila? Agad ako lumapit sakanya

"Nasaan sina Jayden at Saphira? Kasama mo ba sila?" tanong ko

Nalungkot ito bigla "Hindi ko sila kasama Kuya Chance, mag-isa lang ako rinespawn sa isla na ito"

Tumango-tango ako at nanatili nanaman kaming tahimik hanggang sa bigla nalang kumidlat at mas lalong dumilim ang paligid. Nakaramdam kami ng kakaiba lalo na nga may biglang player na dapat hindi naman andito.

His using a sky blue shirt and blue pants, he also have a pair of white eyes and he's emitting a very dangerous aura. It was no wonder the final boss and the villainous side of steve the main character. It's Herobrine.

Herobrine attacked us nonchalantly and it cause the party a lot of damage especially for the weak members like Matteo, Miguel and Claude's other party members. It was easy for us Claude, Claire, Winter, Mira and I since we have an more reliable skill to with-stand the final boss.

We attack the main character in team but since this a game. It's hard to oversmart the main character, protagonist luck in other words. Herobrine has the ability to teleport with no limit in range and his physical strength is no longer human, well technically speaking he's not human but what I was talking about is how powerful he can be.

There was a theory back them about Herobrine. That he was nice and helps the players but there were also theories that he's evil and eliminate the players in survival mode. They say that he shows up at dark places but when a friend of mine plays the game he said that Herobrine is a mere theory that non-existent in the game but is it possible that he really exist in the game because right now he's existing in this game.

Claude's team, Miguel, Claire and Mira alternatively tried to attack Herobrine who keeps teleporting while Matteo form a huge barrier to the players.

Winter summon his Galaxy Sword and form a mana in his hands. I did the same with the Respected Sword of Andromeda while Claude summon his Cold Sword of Frost. We're not a team and we will never be, but the three legendaries of the left, right and middle triagonal decided to be one as we all cast a spell and point out to the sky.

Legendaries are created to rule the players. They are Kings that shouldn't be taken lightly. Their pawns are the rankers who follow their orders. Long story short, The Scenario is a huge chessboard and the Legendaries are the Kings. Even if the world is ending Competition will aways be existing.

[The System has warned the players that they're triggering the end of the world of this world-line and it promises that you will suffer the consequences]

Right, if we let go of this huge mana. The World of Blocks will come to its end. We're not Saints to save everyone we all just want to survive. Maybe there are players who are still left at the other islands but we can't do anything for them or the poor extras of this game.

Ending this world-line means that killing every creature of this world without the time limit. It's different with dying as an ancient memory because those memories will become particles of a star that can be remembered but ending this world means being forgotten and eaten by nightmares. It's like death with no place to go.

It's evil and cruel but what can I do?

I'm Axl Chance Dioneda, I'm not a hero but a Villain
