FEYRE

"I'm gonna start with the legendary rogue."

"YOU'LL BE positioned here. After I leave, the timer will start counting from one minute. The hunt will start after that. Two hundred kills to enter the final competition. You have two hours. Safe hunting, player."

Bored kong tinitigan na makalabas sa napakalaking double doors ang NPC. I stayed on the spot that he pushed me to. Vines scattered on the wall behind me, with flowers decorating them at certain distances. Trees, seemingly endless trees, laid in front of me, the green going darker and darker as it gets further.

The Garden doesn't look like a garden. No, it looks like a freaking forest.

Well, except for a fountain that I can make out from here. A fountain with a lion statue in the center, and at the head of the lion is another rogue. Surveillance.

Hindi ko alam kung gaano kalaki ang Garden, but I bet it's larger because I can only and faintly make up half of the rogues that are supposed to be in here. Three beside me, all facing separate directions. I can hear faint rustling of leaves in the ground and by the branches, five facing me.

I stepped slightly to the back, keeping my feet impaled on my spot and blending in with the larger-than-root vines. Being a rogue is such an advantage in sensing danger, but a complete debacle when faced with the same class. Alam kong nagse-senyasan na lang kami dito.

At paano na lang kung mangyayari na ang totoong laban. Kung saan hindi na ibang creature ang kalaban namin pero ang isa't isa. Napangisi ako sa biglaang excitement na lumusob sa katawan ko.

It will be a full blood war. Not an organized event like the fighters, nor the ranger's tame hide and seek.

I twirled the chains on my hand, eyes fixed on the timer. Pinalakas ko rin ang senses ko sa mga pinakamalapit na players sa'kin. Thirty seconds before the Feys arrive and the quest will start.

Kinapkap ko ang likuran para kunin ang poison vial ko. Poro, now that he's matured, can secrete venom that I store and use in battles. Hindi ko nga alam pero sa tingin ko may kinalaman iyon sa evolving shit niya. Ang importante lang naman ay hindi niya ako mapo-poison dahil magka-apocalypse na lang, sisiguruhin kong mamatay ang lahat ng ahas sa mundo.

Natigilan ako at napasulyap sa gilid ng gumalaw ang isang assassin. He shifted in his weight as he stared in front of him. He looked nauseous, terror evident in his face. At mukhang hindi niya ako napapansin dahil wala siyang tinitingnan kung hindi ang sa harapan niya. Oh well, baka takot siya sa puno o ano. Treephobia.

Anyway, hindi ko siya problema. I tore my gaze away from him, bored, and twirled the vial in my hands. Kumunot ang noo ko nang mapansin na parang nag-iba ang hugis nito. My poison vial has a round bottom and a thin neck, pero bakit parang roundish and longish ito. Frowning, I looked at the item in hand and cursed.

Putangina. Ang special bullet pala ni Vesta 'to.

Kinapkap kong muli ang likuran at ang buong cloak ko na, hoping to find my vial pero madapa sana si Hex at wala talagang vial dito sa cloak ko! Wait, don't tell me I switched our bottles? Or mali ang nakuha ni Vesta sa'kin?
