Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Chapter 247

Erond, his alpha death knight and Gorsag stood surrounding him. Their eyes held deep veneration towards him. 

He wanted to know all the details about the changes that happened to them, but he had to wait until he regained his freedom. After exactly one minute, the harsh voice echoed again in his mind:

'System has succeeded in his absorption process. The system will fully activate now. The current system holder rank is novice rank. 

You can open the system interface at any time. As the system had cheated to gain more energy, the system couldn't use its full power. 

But there will be different modes that will be unlocked for you. The more you gain power the more options you can unlock. The current two modes that are unlocked are the mission mode and store mode.'

Ibro heard the word 'store' and felt nostalgic. He missed the game system stores a lot. He asked at once:

'Is this store like game NPCs stores? And how can I unlock more modes?'

'This store is way higher than this shitty store in any given game. The energy needed for me will be the ultimate energy in the whole world the Ro energy. 

As you didn't fulfill the requirements to use the full form of the energy, you will be able to use the weaker form of this energy. This form is known as Pseudo-Ro energy.'

Ibro didn't know what this energy meant. He had a lot of questions in his mind, but the system added with its harsh voice:

'I can't explain many secrets with you as you don't officially have a full system as your authorization code or reached the ultimate stage as your authorization permission, so keep these questions for later. 

For now, all you need to know is that you kill your enemies and I will form the energy for you.'

He had to kill again, that wasn't difficult at all. When he recalled the huge monsters he had back at the cultivation world he became more confident. He regained his free will again. Before he even had a chance to say anything, the system voice echoed again in his mind stating:

'The game here had issued an announcement. It had declared before a global quest for all players and NPCs here about your invasion. Now, it has removed this quest and announced your official joining the game.'

Ibro understood why these 9 players didn't try to escape or fight during all this transition time. He was curious about the state of the incoming army. Would they retreat now? 

He knew that the main body of this army was players. After losing the player's aid, would they continue attacking his city? 

Ibro had many things up his mind, but he had first to finish the most important issue right now these 9 players. He knew that the girl would be alive after his trial with her. 

But he didn't know where she went. He looked towards the 9 players and then moved towards them. One by one he put his omega stone into their mouths. 

Each one ate this stone and disappeared at once from this palace. When Ibro finished, he returned to his chair while asking:

"What did you all gain to have this wide smile over your faces?"

All of his men in front of him without exception were smiling widely. Erond replied with his wide smile:

"We have gained access to the game here. We can level up by killing monsters as the game informs us. We are both cultivators and players at the same time. That's interesting for us."

Ibro looked towards Gorsag who nodded. That was good indeed. Now his men could learn skills and upgrade them with ease. That would make them stronger. 

He then looked towards his death alpha knight as he was also opening his jaw as he was laughing in a creepy way.

"What about you then? These folks here didn't play even once in their lives. Why are you that happy?"

The alpha death knight looked towards his men before replying:

"I feel like I went home again. Going home indeed is a joyful occasion, my king."

Ibro understood his reason. He thought of Rinobak and his villagers. They must be very happy right now. 

He was about to say something when a loud bang suddenly occurred with a flash of light. That girl appeared in the same place she was with an absent look. Ibro felt weird, didn't she resurrect?

"What did you do to me?"

That was the first thing this arrogant girl said. She wasn't with the same arrogance now, as her body was shivering non-stop while pointing with her finger towards Ibro. 

She retreated a few steps to the back till she hit the walls of the palace. Before Ibro could reply, more bangs occurred with the appearance of the rest of the 9 players. 

Ibro felt the connection between his alpha stone in his dantian and the omega stones inside their bodies. A thought flashed in his mind that drove a wide smile over his face. 

If this was true, then he had to change his approach with players in this world. He ignored her fear while looking for the other 9 players as he asked:

"What happened to all of you?"

One of the 9 players who held a sword in his back answered:

"We have been transported to the game welcoming area. The game told us that our real bodies have been transported permanently to this world."

Ibro smiled evilly. His thoughts were right. He then added leisurely:

"It's not only that, you also became part of my village now. Your lives are in my grasp. If I wanted you dead I can do it easily with just a thought."

"You You are really a snake! This is your scheme from the start, isn't it? You wanted to hold us captives here to get... get get anything."

That girl screamed while tears flooded her cheeks. Ibro didn't bother with her as she wasn't in her usual state. He looked towards that swordsman and explained:

"You can consider this your curse or you can consider it your opportunity. it's up to you to decide."

The swordsman asked with caution:

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean you are the first players to join me. As you can see, the first undead to join me had become the leader of the undead legions. 

The first cultivators to join me had become the leaders of the cultivators' armies. If you joined me and helped me wholeheartedly then I promise you a unique future position. You all will be the leaders of the players."

The 9 layers exchanged silent looks. Players weren't stupid but they were extremely intelligent and also greedy. After few seconds of hesitation, that swordsman asked at once:

"What do you need from us then?"

"I need you to go back and contact all your friends and family members. I need you to create a guild for me. this guild will provide players to join my newly formed kingdom."

The swordsman felt some doubts which he expressed at once:

"Players here won't apply to join us like this. We need something to attract them."

Ibro knew that was a fact. players didn't follow power, they follow benefit. He needed to provide them with huge benefits.

"I can lend you my undead legion to aid your starting guild. Any player who joins you can level up with the help of the undead legion. 

If he decides to join my faction then I can give him 5 undead to work under his command. I can also allow you to learn cultivation if you join my kingdom."

The swordsman looked towards the nearby death knights and cultivators then asked:

"I can be sure the undead legion offer will be tempting to some, but what does this cultivation even mean? Why would they agree to join us?"

Ibro pointed out towards Erond as he explained:

"Cultivation is another form to train yourself at. It's another form of using energy like you do in playing games. 

When you become cultivators, all of your stats will be increased by many folds except for your intelligence. Cultivators also have many advantages like the flying ability and divine sense."
