Gods' Impact Online

[WPC #220 - Gold Place Winner!] In the future timeline, Humankind had developed things that brought a revolution to the world. But their best invention was fully immersive VR games that became more and more advanced as time passed. They could create new worlds— in virtual reality, that were more beautiful and profound than the real world they lived in. Upon seeing how Humankind started discarding the world created by the gods and embracing the fake world created by humans, the gods were enraged. Thus, gods transmigrated the souls of all the VR game players into the game created by gods—called Gods' impact, which was unlike any VR game. It was too surreal with daily struggles, quests, systems, monsters, and... more deadly and cruel than the real world. However, they could use their real-life skills and talents in the game. They could use the real world money into the game. As they evolved in the game, their body also changed in real life. Furthermore, the players who died in the game also died in the real world. How will Zach, who just happened to try out the VR game for the first time, only to be transported into Gods’ impact, survive? "Everyone's stats are limited. I will become limitless by cultivating infinite MP!" Zach announced nonchalantly when he realized he might be the strongest player in the game. Little did the gods know that they would regret messing with Zach, and his existence alone would become a threat to them. --- Note- Video games, fantasy, and realistic logic are applied in this Gods' Impact. But don't forget that the sole purpose of this game was for gods to screw over humans in every way possible. === Discord Link- https://discord.gg/BzqvMxjadj

Chapter 53- Assassin Mage

Zach could feel someone watching him ever since he entered the dungeon.

At first, he shrugged off the feeling thinking he was being paranoid. But the more time he spent in the dungeon, the more confident he became.

He assumed that it might be some monsters waiting to attack, but if it was truly a monster, then the slimes wouldn't have attacked Zach.

'If a strong monster is around, small ones never come out. That's the wild rule of the monsters. So it can't be another monster. It's another player.'

Zach pondered for a while and thought, 'But I didn't see anyone following me to the dungeon. There are chances that the player was already in the dungeon. But I didn't see anyone.'

Suddenly, a thought crossed Zach's mind, and he figured out everything.

'I see… so that's how it is.'

Zach clapped his hands and said, "Whoever you are, I know you are following me. Come out now, and I shall spare your life.'

Zach glanced in all directions and waited for someone to come out, and as he had expected, a voice rang in the dungeon.

"I am surprised you sensed me."

It was a male's voice.

'Not going to lie. I am a little disappointed.' Zach sighed. 'I hoped it would be Aurora, but well… that saves me from hiding my true self.'

"Oh? You were trying to hide your presence?" Zach scoffed. "I thought you were playing hide and seek."

Of course, Zach was bluffing. He was a master at it. However, he bluffed to anger the player so he would show himself out of rage. And it worked.

Suddenly, a man appeared behind Zach and raised his hand as though he was trying to show he was harmless.

'...!' Zach was surprised, but he didn't let his reaction show on his face. 'Where did he come from? It's like he came out of thin air.'

"Are you a bandit class player?" Zach asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.

The man looked surprised, but he nodded and said, "Not quite correct. I am an assassin."

'That explains why… it's one of the special skills of the class…— wait! He said he is an assassin, right? That means he has to be level 50 or more.'

"Well, what about you? What is your class?" The man asked in a friendly manner.

"Swordsman." Zach swiftly lied and asked, "I am level 3. What about you?"

"I am level 69," the man answered.

'What a number…' Zach tried to ask something, but the man interrupted him.

"I am glad to see you." The man pointed his finger at the door on the other side of the bridge and said, "I am going to defeat the secret boss and get the reward. Would you like to join me? I will give you 50000 coins."

'Yeah, right.' Zach frowned his face and said, "Would you mind coming one step closer to me?"

One player could see another player's name tag, but for that, the player needs to be within a three-meter distance. And the player was one step further than three-meter.

"Sure. But what is your answer? Do you accept my offer?" the man asked with a smile on his face.

"Why not." Zach shrugged his shoulders and said, "If a low-level player like me can earn 50000 coins, then I can't miss the chance."

"Well said. Now let's talk—" the man stopped speaking and gazed behind Zach with a horrified look on his face and said, "Watch out."

Zach turned around, even though he knew there was nothing behind him. Then, he jumped back and landed behind the man.

"Heh!" Zach sneered and uttered, "How many players have you fooled like this?"

The moment Zach turned around, the man dashed at Zach and tried to kill him. But Zach knew it was a trap, but he played along and humiliated the man.

Now that the distance between Zach and the man was less than three meters, Zach could see his name tag.

The man's name was Eren, and his nametag was crimson red. Which means, he had killed more than ten players, but less than 100.

"Tch!" the man clicked his tongue and asked, "How did you know?!"

"Are you seriously asking that?" Zach laughed out loud and uttered, "You used a cliche trick, bruh."

"Spreading a rumor about hidden treasure and luring players in a secluded area to ambush and kill them. Seriously? Who would fall for such a trick?"

Zach also fell for the trick, almost. But let's pretend that never happened.

"Now, where are the rest of your teammates?" Zach asked with a furious look on his face.

"I work alone," Eren smirked. "That way, no one can betray me."

"Fair enough…" Zach furrowed his brows and asked, "Why did you kill players?"

"Do you want to know how I leveled up so fast?" Eren asked with a smug look on his face, as though he was looking down at Zach.

Eren was still thinking Zach was a level three player, so he let his guard down.

"By killing players, of course."

"Let me tell you a secret to level up without doing anything…" Eren stealthily grabbed the dagger from his back while talking and continued, "If you kill a player, you level up by one. It doesn't matter what level the players are. It's the easiest way to level up."

Then, Eren dashed at Zach to attack him, so Zach jumped back. However, Eren didn't move from his spot.

When Zach landed, a magic circle appeared on the ground beneath Zach's feet.

"Hah! I have placed magic mines all over the place, and only I know the exact spots," Eren snorted. "Now die!"

The magic trap activated and covered Zach's body with scorching fire.

"That was my strongest spell! Die by my fire, asshole!" Eren rejoiced.

Zach patted his clothes and body as the fire extinguished.

The grin vanished from Eren's face as he couldn't comprehend the situation. He was left baffled and scared.

"You were saying something about this being your strongest spell?" Zach smirked with a smug look on his face.

"Why… you!" Eren dashed at Zach with a dagger in his hand.

Zach grabbed Eren's hand and swung him around before punching him in the face.

Eren's body flew in the air and bounced on the bridge before stopping at the edge.

Eren immediately grabbed another dagger and stood up. He glanced around with a scared expression on his face to look for Zach, but he was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did he go?"

"Surprise motherfucker!" Zach landed from the top and kicked Eren.

Eren stumbled and tripped from the bridge. But he grabbed the edge of the bridge with his hand and tried to get up.

Zach stood in front of Eren and smirked at him.

"Wait… if you kill me, then there would be no difference between you and me!" Eren asserted as he tried his best to climb up.

Zach crushed Eren's fingers with his feet and crouched down in front of Eren. He glared into Eren's eyes and uttered with a vicious smile on his face: "Look me in the face and tell me, does it look like I give two shits about that?"
