Reunion!

Ryan wasn’t scared to die. He approaches him until the sword touches his neck. “Who are you?” He could feel the guy is smiling and before he could pamper him with more questions, a scythe flies and both guys avoid it by moving their head.
They look at Teo who is pointing guns towards the mystery guy. “Don’t touch him.” The guy removed his sword and raised his brow. “Are you trying to kill me? You’re just here because the first player is still alive in this world.” Ryan grit his teeth and when he was about to draw out his sword, Teo held his shoulder.
“Go check on my daughter and don’t run again. I need to talk with this guy.” Teo pushes Ryan away and stands in front of the guy. All Ryan could do was nod and walk away. When Ryan starts to fade away from their sights, Teo starts to talk but is cut by the guy.
“I have nothing to talk about with you.”
“Who are you? How many people work with you? Who is the boss here? You or the first player-”
The guy stares at Teo and sighs. He pulled out a paper and gave it to Teo. After receiving the paper, he read it and felt his heart broken. “What are you doing-” The guy pointed his gun straight to his head and he pulled the trigger. Reading the paper again, Teo sighs and eats it.
“I guess I have to die.”
The white paper explains the next challenge which is, the players need to kill a NPC that hides among them. Of course Alex and Ryan knew him but the others could find out about it if he’s not careful. He walked back and saw Ryan looking at him with a knife in his hand.
“Ryan? Where did Robin and Hana go?”
“Next challenge has started. Everyone got their paper. They’re trying to look for other players because they believe we’re not the NPC.”
Watching the older guy smile, he threw away his knife and sat down on the floor. “I want to win.” Teo looks at Ryan in shock. He could never figure out what Ryan is thinking but he takes the knife Ryan threw and puts it in Ryan’s hand. He then makes sure the knife is pointing at him.
“Go ahead then.”
“Huh?”
“You wanted to win right?”
“Yes. Because I suspect there’s some kind of gift.”
After hearing this, Teo understands his intention and pats the young teenager. Before he could ask the guy to stab him, he heard footsteps running to their way. Hana and Robin saw them in the position and they pulled out their weapons.
“What are you doing with my dad?”
“I- I am not trying to kill him! This is a misunderstanding!”
“Okay Hana. Not now! They are chasing us!”
Alex rushed behind Ash with Leo in his arms. After they saw Hana and Robin, they tried to attack Ash but were countered easily. They retreat which causes Ash to chase after them with Alex and Leo following. Alex knows their target is supposed to be Teo but maybe by following those two, he can find Teo.
They saw Hana and Robin stop at caves and Ash throws a bomb. Alex wide his eyes and kicks the bomb away. “What the hell are you doing?!” Ash screamed at the small guy. Alex was about to answer her until he saw Teo hugging Hana. “Alex?” He saw Ryan and happily sighs.
“Don’t kill them.”
Ash pouts and puts her weapons away. They’re all now sitting down in the cave while looking at each other. “So...every player is here now…?” Robin asks, which makes everyone tense and suspecting each other as NPC except Alex, Teo and Ryan.
“Let’s kill someone with the most coins-”
“What? No! I won’t let you kill Ryan!”
Hana and Robin look at Teo defending Ryan while Ryan is eating a burger. They sweatdrop and glance at their paper. “Does anyone get any hint or I don’t know...maybe specialty?” Robin changed the topic and Ash shoves her paper in Robin’s face.
“My hint is that the NPC is not in my team!”
“Great...but you don’t have to shove that thing in my face.”
Teo starts sweating after hearing the hint and Alex gives him a pity smile. Ryan stares at those idiots cause they’re being obvious. Without them knowing, the others are looking back and forth towards them.
An angry, loud footsteps could be heard heading towards a room and the door was open widely. “Come back later. I am still in the game.” The person removes his hoodie and hits the back of the head of that person. “I thought you were keeping an eye on the NPC?”
“I did.”
“...Continue. And make sure Ryan loses.”
“Yes sir~”
The mysterious person turns around and closes the door slowly. The first player sighs and removes the vr from his head. “I’m sorry Mr Creator...Entertainment is what makes this world interesting.” A nurse entered the room and gave them water. “55 have requested to go to the private school.”
“I guess number 55 is getting closer to Ryan. Granted.”
“Sir. Your condition is getting worse.”
“No worries. I got enough entertainment before I die anyways.”
The nurse nods and leaves. The first player entered the game back and saw Ryan waving at him. “Guys! Let’s go hunt for food so that we don’t waste more coins!” The others groan and complain about him being rich but still saving. Alex chuckles and saw his brother talking with Ash alone at the corner.
He decides to check on them and they turn their head towards him. “Can we kill your teacher now?” Ash asks which makes her get a glare from Leo. Alex chop her head and sign no. She sighs and wonders why would Alex tell her everything and decide to keep the NPC alive.
She saw Teo smiling and messing around with Ryan and Hana. “Kill him.” Turning around, she saw the girl again. “You will be my hero if you win.” Alex has been watching the girl looking at random places as if the girl is watching someone. He put his hand on her shoulder and gave a smile.
“Let’s go hunting.”
