The players trapped inside the game, including Hero didn't know that what happened to them have turned the world in chaos. Countless people grieved, cried and despaired. It was known as the [ Game Trapped Calamity ].
When Hero just began fighting the E-BOSS monster [Chief Poison Fin Frog ], a commotion was starting to bud inside the [ Griphix inc. ]
"Wha, What the hell is this?!"
A man in a suit looked at the monitor with bloodshot eyes. The formally fine monitor he was working on suddenly began to change as uncontrollably large amount of data started appearing. A red light flashing from the monitor as if stating something bad is going on.
"It, it can't be! This....this is just too early!"
Although it seems like a worst situation like those hacking attempts into their main computers, this time, he knows this isn't just a simple problem. This phenomenon is just too familiar that he already knows what is happening....
"This...this is a quest! And not just an ordinary simple event quest!.....You, quick call the president immediately! Hurry!"
"Yes, sir!"
Desperate, the man hurriedly ordered. He looked at the monitor again, his sweat rolling down his face and back.
'Just what the hell is going on in that world? This event quest, although I don't know if my presumption is true, this is a data showing someone entered a very high-level dungeon! Not just that, he or she was fighting a BOSS monster! But this should be impossible! The beginner cities should still be restricting the players to go out! Just what the hell is happening here?'
Various questions, thoughts and assumptions flooded his mind but nothing could calm his heart from beating faster. This situation that should have been impossible because of the four week restriction was still currently on going, much less; only two days have passed since the [ Game Trapped Calamity ]
Although they couldn't watch what is really going on inside the game because of the AI controlling the system, they still have the ability to know the major events that is happening because the AI fortunately let them.
"What's happening Johan? Is that an event quest?"
The man in suit; who's named is Johan jumped and flinched as he heard the frantic voice behind him.
"President Phil!"
"What's happening!?"
Phil frantically asked Johan the situation.
'The whole situation has already become a mess! I don't want anything worst to happen now!' Phil thought in his mind.
"Y, yes sir! I tried to check up the server and I found out.....someone manage to leave his beginner city and entered......."
Checking the computer in front of him, Johan let out a muffled scream. His trembling voice projected his surprised.
"S, someone.......someone entered a high level dungeon and was now fighting an E-BOSS monster...."
"What!?"
Due to his surprised, he accidentally raised his voice as he looked at the monitor on Johan's computer.
'What nonsense is this?! Isn't this too early? The four week restriction should have stopped the payers from going outside for four whole in game weeks! And fighting a BOSS!? The payers by this moment; even if they grind like a machine should have 3-4 level so even if a twenty member party would be in trouble fighting an E-BOSS monster in a high-level dungeon! Just what the hell is going on!?'
"W, what's the level of the d, dungeon? How many players are fighting?"
"T, that is...."
"What!?"
"A rank S dungeon.....player.....one...."
"...........................excuse me?"
"A rank S dungeon.....player.....one...."
"......you're serious, right?"
"Yes...."
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!? IS THAT GUY COURTING HIS DEATH?!!!..........did he go there to die?"
"I, I don't think so sir...."
"Ha? What did you say?"
"Well....t, that is....he already manage to reach a couple of floors so if....if he wanted to kill himself, can't he do it in the first floor?"
"........."
Hearing Johan's words, Phil including all the staff inside the room all stops moving. As if time has miraculously stopped, only the spilling of the canned coffee can be heard from the distance.
"W, what did you say?.......can you repeat what you say just a while ago?.....did, did he..."
"Yes sir. From the data coming from the server, a lone player was fighting a couple of monsters as well as an E-BOSS monster in the 3rd floor of a high-level dungeon. Because it was the first dungeon entry, the server recorded it as.........as an event quest"
Gulp!
Amidst the silent room, only the sound of swallowing saliva can be heard. Phil, the president of the company can only watched his subordinate with wide open eyes and slacked jaw.
Well, they couldn't be blamed. A lone player managed to enter a rank S dungeon, survive from few encounters, fighting an E-BOSS monster, and most of all this was just the second day of the opening of the game! How could someone do it? What stroke of luck or misfortune allows him or her to do all this?
All the people inside the whole room had only one thought 'What is the current level of this guy?'
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
The first who recovered from the shock was the company's president, Phil. He immediately ordered all the staff to investigate this matter. However, no matter what they do they can't seem to bypass the AI's control and examine the situation.
Even Johan who was known and famed as a genius hacker can only passed for a few seconds and immediately cut off, no matter what he do. But this few seconds, it can't be said that what he did is merely a useless attempt but he successfully managed to take a screen shot of the player's; Hero's fight.
Cleaning the blurry image, the picture was now very clear and the players; Hero's face can be seen fighting desperately and heroically an E-BOSS monster.
Even with just this lone image, all the people who saw it can't helped but stared in awe as it was like a painting, a very wonderful painting about a hero fighting a monster majestically just like those stories they heard when they were a child.
Staring at it admiringly, Phil asked Johan,
"Can we possibly find out the identity of this player? If we can connect the screen to the Head gear directly then we can watch the happenings inside the game!"
"......I'm sorry sir but.....it's impossible. The player's profile was locked by the AI and can't be viewed."
Johan shook his head helplessly. Seeing this, all the staff members, including Phil made a dejected sigh as he looked at the face of the player projected in the biggest screen. However, unlike the other people inside who was sad because they want to watch the battle, Phil has a complicated feeling as if he was forgetting something.
Familiarity is what he feels. He seemed like he already saw this youngster but when? How can he feel like he knows this person?
As he was engrossed in his thoughts, a cute shriek resounded behind him. Hearing this, he immediately cut off his thoughts and turned around, just to find his daughter standing there with dumbfounded expression.
".......an't be...."
The cute girl muttered as she silently walked forward.
"Nina?"
He traced the gaze of her daughter and noticed, she was looking at the image.
"F, father...this picture..."
Furrowing his brow, he faced her daughter who was asking him with trembling voice. Then as if a light bulb suddenly lighted up above his head, he immediately looked at the face of the player in the image again.
It's the same! He thought. He finally remembered where he saw this face. It was the same face in the picture his subordinate gave him when he asked him to investigate the man his daughter fell for.
That time, he was perplexed of the sudden change in his daughter's behavior and attitude so he asked his men to tail her and find out the reason.
He remembered how he almost spat out his coffee when his men told him how her daughter became like a stalker, always following a certain young man from a certain distance.
His adorable and precious daughter who he treasured the most actually did such unethical thing? How could he, the father won't act? And that young man from that time, which was so young yet so frivolous, unrestrained and courageous, was so identical with the player in the image.
Is this a coincidence?
But as he remembered how strong, unrestrained and courageous that young man is, something told him he might do this crazy thing.
Thinking as such, he moved his gaze from the image to the daughter beside him who was looking at him with moist eyes.
"Nina....d, do you recognized this....y, young man?" With trembling voice, he asked her.
You can noticed that all the people's eyes inside the room was now concentrated to one person.
Softly, Nina nodded and said,
"He looks like Hero, no, I'm quite sure he is Hero!"
As they heard this confirmation, all of the people revealed happiness. They're eyes glittering in excitement. Why wouldn't? Maybe, just maybe this player, if he survives this situation and leave the dungeon, just maybe he is the hope that all the people was looking for!
"A, are you sure? Really? Do you know where can we find him?"
"Yes! It's New City Hospital! F, father, why are you looking for him? And what's this picture all about?"
Reaching a decision, he ignored Nina's question and immediately relayed his ordered.
"Most of you will monitor the game. If they're any changes immediately contact me. Johan, Michael and Susana come with me to the New City Hospital. We must obtain that fight footage no matter what happens. Understood!"
""""Sir yes Sir!""""
"Father!"
"Nina, come with us! Tell me all the things about this young man that you know!"
After saying so, he dragged Nina towards where Hero was laying, comfortably and peacefully in a never awakening sleep, while his soul was treading the path of carnage.
Leaving the displeased staff members who also wanted to see the young man, no one ever noticed that they.....from now on will watch closely to the upcoming chronicles of a Young Hero.
