The System Play Store
125. A village

There are many games that can be played using playing cards, including Poker, Texas Hold'em, Blackjack, and many more. For Aurelia, who was very far from gambling-smelling things, she felt perplexed when it came to choosing which game she would play.

"Shall I play Pacinko?" aurelia thought, her face looking full of confusion.

But he immediately rejected the idea, as if Aurelia could already see a future where she would spend all the chips she had by losing ten times in a row while playing the gacha game.

In her confusion, Aurelia decided to ask the system about the rules in each card game. The system patiently explained one by one the rules and how to play each type of card game, but the explanation was completely incomprehensible to Aurelia.

Aurelia's head was filled with confusion and frustration. How could he determine the exact game if he did not even understand the system explanation?.

"Oh, it feels like my brain is on fire!" lamented Aurelia with a face full of confusion. The complaint was not a joke because Aurelia's head was smoking.

In her desperation, Aurelia decides to try playing a card game that she thinks is easiest to understand.

"I'm going to play Blackjack" Aurelia said with some concern.

The hologram screen immediately changed to display a luxurious gambling table, there was only Aurelia's Avatar and a professional-looking Dealer. Aurelia chose the game of Blackjack because of its very simple way of playing, which is only to get the highest number with a limit of 21 numbers.

"Alright, let's play, let's play" Aurelia said as she placed one of her chips on the table.

The dealer skillfully shuffles the cards, then hands them out. Aurelia gets the Queen which means 10 points for her, while the dealer follows with the Jeck card she gets.

They both got 10 points.

"Hmm, I feel like I'm going to get some bad luck" Aurelia murmured as she continued to watch the dealer's movements with great concentration.

The second card division is done, this time also Aurelia get another Queen card that makes her current point total is 20.

"Lumayan," a smile bloomed on the girl's face, she felt that she would win the game due to getting a very high point, he said, but his smile soon disappeared once the dealer got the US card which made the dealer win automatically with a total value of 21 points.

"Ah, Bodo is!" as Aurelia said, the girl exhaled with deep disappointment, her heart breaking because she had just received false hope. With a sudden hand movement, Aurelia immediately closed the Zeus Slot game.

"The creator of this game seems to have a serious problem in his brain, or maybe his brain has indeed moved to the snoring," Aurelia let out a curse with anger that could not be held back. Although he had just started playing, he had already been defeated in a very tragic way.

***

Aurelia stopped when she saw a chariot with shattered wheels lying in the middle of the road. He felt that someone had deliberately placed the vehicle there to prevent road users from passing through it.

Curious, Aurelia approaches the train and finds a message written in blood. The message contained in the writing reads as an appeal not to approach Mount Diraksa.

The smell of blood was so strong that it smelled from inside the carriage of the horse carriage. At the sight of what was inside there, Aurelia was struck by the terrifying sight, where piles of corpses filled the carriages.

Trying to figure out what had happened, Aurelia conducted an investigation. From the wounds on most of the bodies, Aurelia was able to deduce that the culprit was Tania.

"Did he lose his sanity as a result of being a Mutant?" Aurelia suspects that Tania may have ended up just as likely, thinking that humans are worthless creatures after losing a side of humanity.

Aurelia began to analyze the faces of each corpse. There were 35 bodies divided into two groups. The first group came from the Redgold sect, while the other group was a bandit organization known as the Bloody Gollocks.

Aurelia could not imagine what situation made Tania engage in a bloody battle against bandits and sects from the bright side simultaneously. Looking at the injuries, it was certain that Tania had slaughtered them, not because of the fight between the two groups.

Ding!

[Finding a human settlement]

The system tells that there is a village 500 meters from where Aurelia found a cart filled with corpses. Feeling that he might get a clue if he went to the village, Aurelia left the terrible place.

"But before that." Aurelia's facial skin began to melt, revealing a skull made of titanium. Then the melted skin returned to its original shape, but with a very different appearance.

Aurelia disguises her appearance as a girl with white skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. Now she looks like a girl from Europe. Lastly, Aurelia turned her yellow robe into a raincoat.

Upon entering the village, Aurelia saw many houses destroyed, blood stains scattered on the rocks on the roadside or the walls of the house. The circumstances of this place reminded Aurelia of the Exile village.

"Yellow Cloak?" a grown man was so frightened when he saw Aurelia's presence. He then ran away in fear as if he had just seen a ghost.

All the villagers looked at Aurelia with fear, the girl tried to look at the residents, and finally Aurelia arrived in front of the largest house in the village. Aurelia thought that the house might be the home of the village chief.

"Who are you, and what business do you have coming to our village?" a young man came out of the house. He used a cane to walk because one of his legs had disappeared.

"I'm Aur..." Aurelia immediately stopped because she almost used her real name as an introduction. "My name is Aura" he went on to give a false name.

"My presence in this village is only to find a woman" said Aurelia.

The disabled man was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking of giving Aurelia an answer. In the end, the man admits that the village had an unexpected guest the night before.

***

Previously, for one month this village was controlled by a genk bandit named Golok Berdar, making things more difficult for the residents. No one dared to fight them, the strongest warrior in this village alone to the point of losing his legs after an unfair battle.

The Redgold Sect that came to the village yesterday made the citizens happy, the hope of being saved began to grow. However, an unexpected circumstance occurred when the attitude of the sect members looked so flat hearing the complaints of the citizens.

Apparently, the arrival of the Redgold sect to the village was not for the citizens, but because they had affairs with the bandits. Knowing that the sect of the Light faction alone carried out such treason made the citizens feel pessimistic if there was someone who could save them.

But help comes from the unexpected. Last night there was another visitor who came to the village, she was a beautiful woman in bloodstained clothes.

At first, some bandits tried to seduce him, but the act ended in a big fight. Both members of the Red Golok bandits and the Redgold sect were engaged in a fight against the mysterious woman.

Everyone thought that the woman would be easy to handle, but no one thought that she was so strong.

Long story short, a fierce fight ensued, the bandits who were troubled to face Tania finally asked the Redgold sect for help, but dozens of them were not enough to match Tania.

The battle that almost lasted for an entire night finally ended with the slaughter of the bandits and Redgold sect members. For the incident, Tania was considered a hero, but Tania did not care.

Tania immediately left the village by putting thirty-five bodies into a horse carriage which she would later use to seal the road to the mountain. After that, Tania left with final words asking all citizens to be careful of a yellow-robed girl.
