the real game begins (2)

We are the happiest of life in a group outing like any other when the system starts to behave half creepy showing static and strange noises instead of the common and familiar window of stay, we were all starting to worry about eatp but we did not have time thinking about that a wave of monsters began to approach at full speed and we all ran to the walls of the safe zone to seek refuge; However, the monsters did not stop despite being close to the safe zone and instead marched towards the city walls and the people who were still crossing the door devouring some of them while those who could fly got into the city to wreak havoc. From the sky they approached to break buildings and kill people until some human attack or from the tower would kill them, the screams and chaos broke out, there were people who wanted to run for shelter but they soon realized that they were not fighting there would be no where to hide. ; so little by little people began to fight back and little by little to resurrect the chaos at the cost of countless dead on both sides. A lot of blood, pain and suffering was seen on everyone's faces as they celebrated the temporary victory while they wondered if another would come or how long it would take until the next one. At this idea, cross heads, several proposed to build watchtowers and the people agreed; while between the static and creepy situation of the system still followed what kept everyone alert. Only once in a while you would have access to see your status without all that weird static or the minimap so people started trying to see where I could recreate it in some way in case it didn't come back, managed to create a card showing your status in guilds since the last time updated; At least there you could see the level of your abilities, otherwise you would just have to control it somehow instinctively. This made the battles only become more difficult and despite the fact that the card had improved to the point of not having to return to the city, the situation did not seem to want to improve, even a map, even if it is virtual thanks to magic crystals, seemed help but this and the previous thing was super expensive leaving several in fights in the dark in uncooked lands; soon people started inventing gadgets to make this situation more bearable and easier to manage while others tried to fix the system.

No one had success in the plan to bring things to the comfortable previous point as in the tutorial and one day finally the static and the rarity of the state had calmed down and reappeared only now it did not tell you the same things as before or the minimap Neither the state appeared reflected in it and it only showed how you were living, energy and mana or qi; what made people pursue the more they wanted the possibility of having a tool that would do it, thinking that this could happen again, especially with the ad drl system; in the news part a timer backwards showed: [Time until game start 1M: 00D: 00m: 00s] -What the f**k weren't in the juice anymore ?! - Couldn't help shouting anyone reading this including me.

All stunned by this message, we all concluded that the real thing had begun after finishing the fusion between the Earth and the tutorial area but it is seen that he still has tricks to play this s**t system. It is as if they would like to see us suffer and twist us in indignation and rage at the same time, nobody could do anything and they simply resigned themselves to doing what they could to strengthen the city; this time small groups never went out and resources were always left in piles in certain places. The beasts ignored them or used them as caves or nests but they served in the future, the plan was to make the walls bigger to try to contain the big dungeons within the city area; quw project has been in progress for some time even from the tutorial. People discovered that the NPC of the tower sold magic mini-turrets or made them free or low cost if you brought them the materials that it needed to build, being the free one of less duration and less damage; people went crazy trying to get these things and put them in the watchtowers and in the areas where they plan to put future walls and more of these towers. Only by making joint efforts a group of people could buy the cheapest one and recoup the investment by using it in the dungeon, little by little time passed, with a day missing for the game to start, the turrets could be seen anywhere thanks to the efforts of the work in team; even me and emma had ours although this was the cheapest on the list it was very useful in battle. The turret needed wooden magic plants, magical parts of beasts and glass of at least the size of a soccer ball so that it could be done, the view of the manufactured object was a ball held on a tripod or elegant stick in the cheapest ones; in the most tastings a minitower whose tip was the crystal. These minitowers did not exceed the size of an adult person and from their sphere the energy shots of various types to beasts came out, the lowest quality only had an ability or two available as a weapon and their durability was about 100 shots before that the sphere began to heat up and show cracks; If you let it rest and it did not tear, the sphere would last longer than if not, but at some point it would end up completely torn and you could only repair it with a sphere the same size as the one it occupied or larger. 

In addition, it consumed magic crystals or Qi to be able to shoot while retaining the charge for 100 shots after consuming a good mountain of glass, especially if it was not linked to some element that it launched, at least these turrets became keychain size when invoking or un-summoning them by what to wear was easy but once you showed them you risked that whoever saw it would try to steal it; although it would do it only if it was downloaded because it invoked itself to the user being in danger. Unfortunately this would remain in the area where it was invoked until the user is not in danger and had a certain range of attack depending on its quality, the cheapest being just 100 meters the maximum range; something you could get juice  if you knew how to use your brain.

We were all half nervous that some of the waves that we lived in the previous weeks would ruin our work, luckily in the days that it was decided to start building the walls this had not happened yet and everyone was there to help with their turrets. If necessary despite the possibility of some moron trying to steal, a few minutes after the end of the countdown the city finally recognized the new wall as another part of the city; and it offered the possibility that adding magic objects it had its own turrets. This began to be repeated in the previous walls, making us all happy about this new development and suffering when thinking about how much we would have to be in dungeons exploring and hunting in order to have the walls and the magic tower in good condition, because the control of this is not it reaches where we were in range, so the walls will be in danger as soon as the countdown to the safe zone reaches zero; something of which there is not much time until it happens. It seems that the system pushes us to commit suicide in dungeons level D or higher, something that many people were trying to avoid; for many they had barely exceeded the D during the tutorial and after his disappearance they had not been able to resume progress except with the help of turrets and luck later on. It really seems that the system of this new world wants us dead in the deepest despair, with resignation I take Emma's hand as we go to our house in which the countdown reaches zero.
