The Newbie Is Too Strong's
92. The Game Begins, Team Shadow Park Steps
“Eh, what happened?”
“O wah, the ground vibrates.”
Brother Nina and Brother Raia panicked, while Uncle Visgore immediately approached the fainted woman in the middle. As soon as we regained consciousness, it appeared that we had returned to where we were, the third floor of a novice dungeon.
Even before we could digest the situation again, we were suddenly pulled out forcefully from within the game leaving Uncle Visgore and the other NPCs there.
“Luca! Luca! Hey, Luca, wake up! You're okay, right?”
Slowly, slowly, my consciousness was restored by Kak Nina's cry. As soon as I woke up, I was out of the game. As soon as I glanced at the watch I was using, I was unable to cover my shock.
“What is this? Is it 2 in the morning? Why is the time until the passing of the prohibition of the system of minors?”
“That we also do not understand, Luca. We'd better go back to our room first.”
I followed Nina's advice. The three of us went to Raia's room to soften what had really happened just now.
This is the first time that the game status board is error and the player cannot log out. Even the ban on gaming systems for minors is not implemented. But thank goodness they were both okay. Because of me, I almost put them in danger.
***
The day ended where they were able to avoid the worst.
“I have to see the Emperor again as soon as possible to inquire about these buttons. Because of these buttons, Kak Nina and Kak Raia are almost in danger.”
Luca muttered with a tone of regret. Even though it all ended well, she still could not forgive herself who had brought Nina and Raia into danger.
In the morning at 9:00 local time, the opening of the international e-sport event began. The event was treated to a variety of interesting attractions, but none of them were able to restore the mood of the young man who drowned into that guilt.
Seeing that, Nina immediately understood what Luca was thinking. Nina also said,
“Not always something will go according to our plan. Moreover, yesterday it happened outside the will of anyone so what can be done. You know, that means yesterday's incident was nobody's fault.”
“But, because of my decision, you guys are stuck..”.
“Huh, you stupid little brother! In the end everything came back fine. No need to think about what happened. More importantly, it prevents the same from happening a second time. Isn't that right?”
Before the young man further blamed himself, Nina immediately stopped her speech and brought back the young man to the reality of his supposed point of view.
“Sorry, Sister Nina.”
“Huh, you stupid little brother! No need to apologize among fellow families.” Nina held Luca's shoulder and stroked his shoulder.
“Hmm.” Luca simply replied with a thud while nodding slowly.
His face still looked regretful, but now his expression had gotten better. Luca was relieved when he heard the word ‘family’ from Nina's mouth.
Nothing makes Luca's heart happier than to know that he still has a family that loves him very much.
At 13:00, the game begins. There are 64 matches divided into 4 arena locations. At each arena, there will be 16 matches, six will be held today, while the remaining ten will be held tomorrow.
Lia and his team are part of the seventh game in the virtual room C, aka the first game that will be held tomorrow morning. Therefore, for today, Luca and co focused their attention on the virtual room B, where Krimson and his team would fight in the second turn.
Unlike the vrmmorpg competition in Indonesia which is only based on vrmmorpg The Last Gardenia, there are various genres of vrmmorpg used in various parts of the world as the foundation.
Including today. The three teams that will be fought by Team Shadow Park, the representatives of two from Indonesia, look to come from various types of genres.
There is a Max Squeeze Team that seems to come from the genre of gun and war games where their members use snipe weapons, medium range, up to melee weapons.
There is Tim Bougha who seems to come from the adventure game genre with its members who look like big-bodied Viking fighters all over.
Lastly, there's Tim Albolescence that looks to be from the western fantasy genre with its members looking like vampires, Frankenstein, and so on.
Although in a still somber mood, as soon as Luca watched the match begin, his feelings returned with excitement. Luca seemed to be very supportive of Krimson and his team.
The fight is carried out in a simple format, namely the four teams each consisting of 5 participants will carry out battle royal until there is only one team that survives. There are two teams that will be able to advance to the next round, namely the team that survives the last, and the team with the record of beating the most opponents outside of the last defending team.
Each team member began to be sent to a random location where each of them was given a map of the battle arena. If considered carefully, the arena of the fight is similar to the shape of Sulawesi Island, but with a much smaller size.
There were arenas of forests, grasslands, mountains, hills, lakes, vast plains, even to swamps where each participant depended on their luck were sent to those various locations.
And with the referee's cue, the vrmmorpg e-sport match in the second virtual room B was started.
There are 16 monitors in the middle of the stage that can be witnessed by the audience who show the movement of each participant.
Luca stared at the fourth monitor, which displayed the area where Krimson was.
Krimson ran madly wild while using the tree branches as his footing, moving from tree to tree quickly towards the two players from the Albolescence Team who had just met each other. Without lingering, Krimson threw his poison potion at the two players.
Players who were not ready for the impromptu attack were forced to become the first and second victims who died in the battle royal after inhaling deadly poison from Krimson. With a thunderous laugh, Krimson celebrated his first victory.
“Ck.”
From outside the audience, Luca clicked his tongue.
Seeing that, Nina asked, “What's up, Luca? Don't you like that alchemist from Team Shadow Park?”
“Hah.” Luca breathed.
“No, Brother. Quite the contrary. I support Big Brother because he is a good brother who helped me voluntarily in one of my adventures in the game.”
Nina looked surprised with admiration to hear Luca knew one of the great players here. However, a moment later in thinking it is certainly natural because even though he is still a newbie, no one doubts that Luca is also a great player, even he can date with Lia, Lia, one of the players in this prestigious event.
Nina then continued to ask, “Terus why do you look unhappy, Luca?”
“Because Kak Krimson will lose soon.”
“Eh, how can you? She was so great?”
“That's because Kak Krimson doesn't understand at all about the concept of battle royal. In a battle royal, we must not only be wary of the enemy before us, but also the enemy hiding behind. And in a fight like that, Kak Krimson instead showed himself. I'm sure there will soon be a remote attacker targeting him.”
And as Luca predicted, not long after that, one of the sniper players from Team Max Squeeze fired his bullet at Krimson and directly punched him in the head. Krimson also died in the fight.
