Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
Day 2: The Hero (Part 4)
"Otomura, what is this Minotaur?" ask Ryugai.
"Sa-Very awful ...." Otomura's face suddenly turned pale. "He had come to this village before and had only left after destroying half of this village. Its power was extraordinarily destructive, and its attack speed ..., equivalent to Mach 20!! The bull-headed giant with two fiery red eyes that was like a weapon sensor. Every time a person carrying a weapon entered within a 10-meter radius of him, it would definitely be killed in just 0.5 seconds. If he's not dead, at least his arm will be broken."
"What kind of "boss is that? He's much more dangerous than the last boss in the VRMMORPG game I played as a kid, "inner Ryugai.
"Hey, Ryugai!! As adventurers, we should also help the security forces!! We'll catch up there and try to distract the Minotaur!!"
"No, just you," Ryugai said as he stepped away from Otomura and waved his hands left and right as a sign of rejection.
"What is 'you?!' This is for the future and the safety of our village!!!" otomura Hardik.
"Our village? Your village. Not my village." Ryugai looked back. "I'm just a wanderer who happened to stop by here. I'm not a resident, so the safety of this village has nothing to do with me."
"What do you mean?! This is your village too!!! Didn't we help you a lot?!" The vexation on Otomura's forehead became increasingly visible.
"It's your own fault. I will never return the favor. Now, I'll see you. I will leave this village. Enjoy the melody of destruction and chaos."
"CHECK, WHATEVER!!!" Unable to hold back the emotions any longer, Otomura exclaimed in a high tone. He turned his body, then stepped while stomping his feet leaving Ryugai who was looking at his back. "WHO NEEDS YOUR HELP?!"
"Actually, I want to help you, Otomura ...."
"Unfortunately, I don't want to do anything in vain."
——————————————————————————————
"Even though I said so .., why does my heart feel empty, huh? Hasn't my heart been dead since that day?" Ryugai spoke to himself.
"Damnu .... What am I doing here? I should have run all the way from this village. Could be the Minotaur heading this way. Who cares about the villagers? They must be NPCs. It doesn't matter if they die."
"But ..., why did my heart command my body to follow Otomura into battle?"
A moment later, Ryugai realized something. Both of his eyes were wide.
"Maybe ... because .. I love this village ...."
"They are different from the rotten people of the earth .... They helped me .... They comforted me. .., they did everything they could to help me .... They ..., revive my dead and frozen heart."
Ryugai smiled, then got up to his feet. He picked up the bow lying on the grass right next to him. "So ..., this is the purpose of this game called Purity Online created?"
"I have nothing to do with them .... I'm not who they are .., but ...."
"Better do it now than regret it forever!!! I hope I still have time!!!"
Ryugai ran as fast as he could, overtaking Otomura and the security forces and other adventurers on the battlefield.
"Once my heart comes back to life, I feel excited!!! My heart feels like it is being burned by fire!!! So, this is called fighting spirit .... All this time I was so stupid ..., I lived a flat life for my own ego!!! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!!! Foolish even though they were all just NPCs!!! To me they are more human than the trash humans on earth!!! Although only in the virtual world, but I want to realize my dream when I was in SD first, which was forgotten because of revenge and hatred ...."
"The dream that arose from seeing my brother's fighting spirit so high to protect me ...."
"My dream is ..., be a hero!!!"
