Attack on the Player

When Theo woke up in the morning, he did his new morning ritual and two others skeleton warrior emerged from the mausoleum, after which he checked the earnings from the trading section's transactions. So he sought out Amethyst and her scout to send them to get more information about the player who was nearby. With his new ghost unit having an investigation ability, he thought he could get a lot more information than Amethyst managed alone.

As soon as the two left, Theo and Copper began to do the day's tasks, such as creating a planting field, as the fruits he had would be quickly consumed by their new friend. Only by planting his own fruit trees could he have a supply that was compatible with Copper's hunger, so with this in mind he decided to save the seeds from yesterday to plant them today.

The requirements were simple, a large wooden box that he quickly created with the menu, and plenty of dirt that he scooped up from outside his wall with the bucket. When he left he was a little nervous about possible attacks, but the forest was getting quieter every day and half of that reason was his skeletons hunting, the other half he would later discover the reason for.

Finishing planting the seeds he had, Theo watered them with water from the well, in addition to covering the ground with leaves that over time would become natural fertilizer for the plants. So he went out to help the skeletons cut down trees, that's how he spent his day when he had nothing else to do.

Only when noon arrived, and he was tired, did Amethyst return with more information and an angry expression. Her report was quick and concise, she said that the man on the other side only lost two units in the attack. And that he planned to clear the forest killing all the animals he found, and his units were not far from their camp.

Theo knew that once he was found there were only two possibilities, cooperation or attack, and he was more inclined towards the second, as he didn't trust anyone other than his skeletons and Copper. He then realized that his other unit had not returned, inquiring about this, he discovered that he had stayed to get more details of his possible enemy's forces.

With this information, he could choose whether to attack first or make an attempt to reconcile with the other player. He ordered Amethyst to go there and talk to you, asking for a meeting in a neutral area, where the two would only take one unit for protection. He had to wait an hour before he got his answer, which came from an Amethyst even more angry that he tried to attack her when he saw her.

Theo calmed her down by saying that he would also do the same if they were in his old world and that everyone there was afraid of ghosts. But that he had now lost that fear because he was sure that she was faithful to him. So he was taken by her to the place where they would meet the other player, even though he could take a ranger who was his strongest unit. He didn't want his enemy to know that he could summon different types of undead.

Once there he could see his competitor in this crazy game of survival, a young man who must have been his age, 20 years old, he had green hair that didn't reach his shoulders. Fair skin and blue eyes that could win over any woman Theo knew. He was wearing expensive clothes that, just by looking at them, Theo realized they were branded clothes, clothes that he wouldn't even go near his stores in his world. He was the same height as him and muscular, but not to the point of being exaggerated.

Theo was a thin 20-year-old young man, weighing only 64 kg, had red hair and black eyes and was 1.83 meters tall. With tanned skin from being in the sun for several hours when he worked at a kiosk on the beach as a waiter.

He was the first to speak, introducing himself with his nickname Red, which he got because of the color of his hair.

"Nice to meet you, Red, it looks like we're neighbors, would you be interested in a temporary alliance?" Theo said with a raised voice as he was a little away from his guest for safety.

"Green, if we're going to use colors as nicknames, tell me what would I gain by allying with you? The game itself states that killing other players gives XP." Said the player.

"In addition to the protection of numbers in the coming disaster, I also have better accommodations, a constant supply of drinking water, and a stone wall to protect against attacks from possible invaders of other races." Theo replied.

He said this as an argument, but also as a deterrent in case he wanted to attack after the encounter. Green's expression changed for a few seconds, which was an enough time for him to notice, after recovering from the shock, he spoke.

"You must have done a lot of work since you got here to have a wall like that."

"I'm not the only one, but I've done a lot of work here." Theo spoke with a proud expression.

"I need to think about your offer, can we meet here tomorrow?" He questioned.

"Yes, of course." Theo replied.

As soon as the two left, he gave an order to Amethyst to find her ghost partner and discover this lord's real plans. He was escorted back to the camp and after that she left.

Before night came, she came back, saying that you had ordered your units to ambush him at the meeting place tomorrow. So Theo ordered all of his skeletons to go there and destroy everything, killing all the units and capturing the lord so that he could end his life for trying to betray him.

The skeletons ran through the forest, being guided by Amethyst towards the camp of the player, who was now considered an enemy. When they arrived, they made a surprise attack on the camp, catching a few units awake and carrying out night guard, but the screams of these dying units quickly woke up the others and the gentleman.

He didn't understand where these skeletons had come from, as he thought the player's units he met were all ghosts. So he tried to escape as soon as he saw his units being killed one after another, but the female ghost that accompanied that player earlier appeared in front of him, causing him to get scared and fall down.

Amethyst trapped this enemy lord tightly tied up, and he was escorted out of her camp and then began to destroy everything here, but as soon as she destroyed the house an energy passed through her and made her stronger.

At that same moment in the camp, Theo received a message from the system, as well as an announcement made in the regional chat.

[His unit destroyed another player's shelter, making him a wanderer who is no longer part of the game, as the owner of the shelter is still alive you can make him a slave if you manage to catch him. His unit that destroyed the shelter gained a strength boost.] That was the message he received.

[Regional Announcement]

[Congratulations to player **** for being the first player in the region to defeat another player and remove him from the competition.]

[A reward will be given to the player.]

And that was the announcement in the chat, which left everyone in an uproar, because the attacks had started.
