The Player's System

Broken gate 

Violet Jungle was trap and the players were supposed to remain stuck however their current advancement brought itching to the creatures. It did not sit well because the first gate was guarded by the two races of the creatures. They were ready nevertheless it was sudden decision of the players. 

The serpent was standing at the last gate. The division of the ogres and the creatures was done before the players stepped inside the Violet Jungle, no more changes could bring in to effects at the short notice. They could rely on the available creatures on the broken gates. 

Junan was not aware and the others were only following behind. Jake was completely familiar what they were going to witness in the north. "This forest and the surroundings are still unfamiliar. Why it seemed that the third serpent is worried because of us. Could it possible that this trap is stronger than the previous one?" Albert uttered out his concerns. 

"My friend the forest is definitely stronger trap else we should have felt loophole or weak tracks. This is similar of many other games where the difficulty level increases but here in a different way. The tasks are vague and we running blind." Hammer boy sounded logical. 

They were heading toward north and talking their opinions randomly. The occasional lightening was getting stronger. This helped them briefly observe their surroundings. There were some ruined cottages and the worn out signs of the populated district. 

"Rest assured we are not running blind. The book of Detection has some clue. We are going to search it." Orin spoke confidently. He started to believe the written clues of the Book of Detection. It was something vague however worth following the hints. "I see so we should get ready for something particular." The hammer boy nodded.

The broken gate was the first entrance toward the Cobra Colony. At the third gate no one could stop them from entering in the Cobra Colony, also the second heart would be under the direct threat. It was up to the Cobra Lord and its slaves how they could stop players from destroying the heart. 

The serpent never thought that the set trap was useless; the violet jungle might not be able to confine them. Now it was entirely impossible to rush from the third broken gate and stop them. According to the design of the game portal, the bosses could set traps or plan tricks before the players enter in the certain field. 

Now that it was gone, the serpent could depend on the creatures solely. "What is this?" the lightening fell on the ground making huge light show phenomenon. Hammer boy got bit frightened. He was expecting ogres and creature as the opponents however the constant lightening was adding in the nemesis. 

"See there. Something at the middle of the colony or whatever it is." Sashi sounded stunned. The unfolding picture was different from what they had been anticipating during their walk. The lightening let them take look at the broken gate in fact they happened to see the active creatures. 

"They are probably guarding the entrance of something. Let\'s see what it is." Junan beckoned them. Now that they were here there was no way back. From the appearance they were at the right place where she should be. Jake was looking at the broken gate and wondering how he should cross it. 

From the looks the creatures were not in mood to let them pass through. The battle was bound to happen. He was calculating whether under the limitation of the time, the team would be able to cross all three broken gates. It was more than like challenge. 

The lightening brightened the dark colony and let them see through clearly. "Those creatures seemed glaring us?" Albert uttered unsure. The creatures were actually looking at them and getting ready to launch attacks. Some were throwing lightening while others were rushing like mad. 

"Holly molly what is happening." Orin cried with utter frustration. These types of attacks were not supposed in the first level of any game. "I swear the designers are insane to the point of desperation. They hell brought something from the hell here." 

Others were no different. The attacks were random and they could not observe where the attack would fell. It brought commotion among the team members. When one saw the lightening ball, one would rush to evade it. It was not just the attacks of the lightening balls instead the half of the creatures were running toward them. It was not welcoming sight for them. 

Junan saw the commotion but before he could warn them, he sprinted to avoid the lightening ball. "It is proof of the importance of this gate. It is similar of some entrance. Let\'s say it is some gate. Everyone focus and fight with the creature. We should not ignore the entrance." Junan shouted his lungs out however in the commotion his voice seemed lost the high twitch. 

The creatures were nearing. The troop at the back end was keeping busy with the lightening balls. This was enough to distract the attention of the players completely. Junan saw the situation getting worse. He held the Shieldman from his wrist and gave a jerk. Albert got stunned. "Why are you holding this shield if it is not helping us?" Junan angrily spoke. He was looking at the creature that almost reached on their heads while this player was carried by the commotion. 

Albert came in his senses and nodded, "I am sorry team head." He immediately walked forward and opened up the big shield. "All others should stay under the shield however attack at the same time the creatures is here asking for duel." Junan spoke out loud and the players got attentive toward him. 

Finally the commotion was under control and the players focused at the creatures.. Most of them engaged in the battle while the Shieldman was making sure run around and stop the lightening balls from direct fall on the team members.
