"It's really embarrassing... I was forced to this level, but I didn't dare to go offline easily... If I go offline... in case the character dies..."

Asada Shino walks in a wilderness.

At this time, she and Han Yu were all involved in the game world of Unital.Ring.

At this moment, Shino is enduring an extremely real sense of thirst. It feels like walking in a desert in the scorching sun, being dried by the sun and smoking all over his throat.

However, even if she logs out as quickly as possible to drink water and come back again, it will not change the situation in the game.

There is no way, Shino can only search for water eagerly and constantly move in the wilderness.

The reduction speed of the TP bar will also increase when running, but there is no progress when walking.

Now I can only believe that water can be found before the remaining TP value becomes zero, and that is exactly what I am running for.

The barren wilderness is a terrain with less undulations. It is visually observed that a small rocky mountain stands about one kilometer in front, and some plant-like shadows can be seen on its surface.

If you can't find water around there, it will be over.

"Hurry up..." Shino sweats from time to time on his forehead. Although he knows that running will only increase the consumption of TP, he still can't help but speed up his steps.

Nine hours ago, at around 18:47 pm on September 28, 2020, Shino, who came home from the convenience store where he was working, logs in to ggo and is ready to do a few more tasks. Then, he transfers to alo. The scheduled 9 o’clock in the forest House party celebration.

But she didn't expect the task to be a bit more complicated. Just when she noticed that it was time for the party, she was hurriedly preparing to switch games, but she was locked.

At that time, she finally collected the metal with a drop rate of less than 3% and completed the target number within one.

Suddenly, the floor of her dungeon dungeon shook violently, her vision filled with rainbow-colored light, and then she was forcibly moved to the ground.

Appearing in a corner of an unknown city, the faint sunlight from the clouded sky quietly illuminates the gray streets, and the roads extending back and forth are completely empty.

Shino has basically visited all the maps in ggo, but the street in front of her is something she has never seen before.

The edges of the walls outside the building are not concrete, but are piled up of ancient stones. The road is not an asphalt road, but rather cracked bricks.

The other ggo players were moved around Shino one by one, and everyone looked around in surprise.

Although the situation was completely out of control, she still didn't like being surrounded by strangers. Shino sneaked into a nearby building, confirmed that there were no residents, and hid in a small room on the second floor.

Holding Hecate tightly, listening to the voice on the ground.

About ten ggo players gathered together and began to discuss what happened.

Soon someone discovered that the UI on the system menu had undergone a fundamental change. Although they tried to contact the operating company, they did not get a response.

Although Shino wanted to log out of the investigation, he always felt an unknown hunch, so he decided to bear with him for the time being.

Outside the building, ten people one after another manipulated the odd-shaped menus and returned to the real world.

However, Shino was surprised to find that the characters of those people did not disappear as before, but maintained a standby position.

In most VRMMOs, in order to prevent being chased by monsters and PK players, the method of hiding and hunting is used, but logging out of the circle will not immediately make the virtual entity disappear, but will wait in place for a few minutes. Now this rule Is applied.

In other words, this city is not a protected "street", but outside the circle.

At least in this place, there are no shops, markets, and street buildings that look decent. It may be a maze or something.

I haven't waited for Shino to relax

Several slender shadows appeared from the narrow path.

Shined by the gray sunlight, it was an insect-shaped monster about one meter long, like a centipede and a scissorworm.

In terms of size, it is generally not considered a particularly powerful enemy.

But the ggo players targeted by them are all logging out.

The rifles and laser guns blackened on their backs are their weapons, but if there is no user, they are of no use.

The centipedes kept approaching.

Shino reflexively stretched his hand to the back of his waist, intending to pull out the secondary weapon MP7 from the holster.

However, he stopped his hand before moving.

There are not necessarily only five centipedes, and the sound of gunshots may also attract a large group.

Although there is also a dedicated MP7 silencer for this kind of time, it is put in a storage box in order to reduce the weight of the equipment when collecting materials.

Shino manipulated the menu window to materialize it, but at this time there was no time for assembly.

The first centipede has crawled onto a player's back and bit down.

Crimson's damage effect overflows like blood. Other centipedes also gathered to the players.

Even if you continue to be attacked without resistance, you can bear it in just a few minutes.

Because centipedes are low-level monsters no matter how they look, men also wear fairly high-level armors.

However, only ten seconds later, the player who was bitten and stood still turned into a burst of blue particles and disappeared.

Other players also died one after another.

It was too fast. Contrary to Shino's expectation, Centipede is a powerful enemy.

Suddenly realizing something, Shino opened the ring menu with an unaccustomed gesture.

Among the eight icons, click the status icon of the human symbol.

Glancing at the opened window, he took a breath of surprise.

Lv1, the maximum HP is only 200, and the state is initialized.

More than that, other inexplicable status bars such as TP and SP mean nothing at all.

And now five players' virtual bodies have disappeared.

The centipede group approached the five surviving people, and if this went on, they might have been wiped out before these players returned.

After carefully checking the situation, Shino picked up the modified MP7 again.

Unfold the front grip to switch the bolt action from locked to semi-automatic.

Pulled the bolt, loaded the bullet, leaned his body on the window frame, and aimed at the centipede in the front.

Place your index finger on the trigger.

but..

"What's going on?!" Shino widened her eyes and whispered in surprise.

In her field of vision, the aperture of the "ballistic prediction line" in the two ggo auxiliary systems did not appear.

Is it a system failure or a bug...

While she was stunned for a while, the centipede was gradually approaching. .
