World Online

Jake shook his head.

"Think for a moment before you just blurt things out." He said.

And as he said this, he turned around another time.

"Just pink mist. There are no monsters around me." He told himself.

He then looked back at Phoenix.

"By the way, did you not get the message I sent you? To stay close to the army? I sent a message to all the guild masters." Jake asked.

"What message?" Phoenix panicked as she checked her message inbox. Nothing.

"Then it is as I feared. No one can receive any messages here. We can't communicate with each other unless we are near each other. The inbox is pretty much useless right now." Jake shook his head and sighed.

"Useless? Then how are we going to deal with so many monsters? We need more people." Phoenix said, clearly panicked.

"There is nothing we can do right now. All that we can hope for is that all the other players are not stupid. For now, try to thin the pink mist. Kill as many of these monsters as you can." Jake said.

"How do I do that, if I have no idea where I can see them?" Phoenix said.

"Right. No one can see those names except me. So weird." Jake realized as he told himself.

"Fine. Just use your intuition, like I am. And keep your eyes and ears peeled for any small changes around you. But don't immediately attack. It could well be an ally. Who knows?" Jake reminded her.

"I am not stupid." Phoenix scoffed.

"I can clearly see that." Jake smiled faintly as he shook his head.

Not even looking at her again, he started walking forward. His sword fell to the ground, scraping it as he walked.

"This is way too weird. Monsters that I have never seen before, or even heard about. And they are way too weird. It is like they have absolutely no attack power, and yet they can create this pink mist that completely blocks our sight." Jake murmured to himself.

As he was talking to himself, he glared to the right. He could see another name appear.

Once again, it was the same name that he saw again and again.

[??? Level - 23]

"The same question marks. Why can't I see their actual name? And they are humanoid. Maybe I should try capturing them alive to see if I can get any information from them." Jake muttered.

"Wait up for me. Why are you walking by yourself?" Phoenix shouted as she ran after Jake.

"Shhhh." Jake shushed her immediately as he followed the question marks in the pink mist.

They were slowly moving further away from him,

"Be as silent as you can." Jake said as he slowly started walking toward the question marks. He felt like the only thing he could do right now was follow the monsters to see what they were trying to do.

Maybe they could even lead him straight to their lair, or possibly even other players.

He needed to do something. Anything was better than just sitting and doing nothing about it.

Phoenix decided not to retort at this point, and she just followed him.

"How is he able to navigate this place? Does he have some artifact that can let him do this? If he does, then this is too unfair." She thought to herself.

Her sword blazed as she tapped on it.

"Regardless. He clearly has some terrible equipment. Why would anyone give away epic items when he himself is only decked in one good pair of boots, and a terrible armor like that?" She shook her head.

"I need to try and poach his people. They are clearly the only reason he is acting so arrogantly." She told herself as she kept walking.

In front of her, Jake shook his head.

"This monster is walking for so long. Maybe it is just trying lead us astray? Maybe it knows we are following us." He thought to herself.

"Well, that can only be a good thing right? I mean, letting the monsters come toward us, isn't that what we want at this point? It will think the pink mist a little." Jake told himself.

He needed the pink mist to disappear, and killing a monster seemed to dent the concentration at least by a little.

"How much longer? We have been walking for so long? Do you know where we are going, when I can't even see where we are going?" Phoenix complained.

"Could it be, are you leading me to an ambush? That would explain so much. Maybe you are the one who is impersonating Shadow King." She raised her sword to point at Jake.

"Stop wasting my time. You can always stay alone. I don't care at this point. I need to find the other monsters, so don't stand in my way." Jake said, shaking his head.

"And let us say for a moment that I was indeed the monster that is impersonating Shadow King, the guild leader of Bright Horizon, a guild name they probably never heard about. Let us say all of this is true. Are you even strong enough to go against me?" Jake chuckled.

"You saw how fast I was. Can you actually catch up to me if I wanted to make this a battle oof agility?" He said as he shook his head.

"Just keep walking. It seems like we are almost here." Jake said as he looked in the distance again. The monster that he was tailing seemed to be slowing down. It was slowly becoming bigger and bigger.

"I wonder, both of the monsters I killed had woman figures. Could it be a woman tribe of some kind?" Jake wondered as he took another step forward.

Through the pink mist, suddenly he saw a shadow.

"If I saw the shadow, then that shadow also saw me!" Jake suddenly realized as his sword shot up.

Clang!
