Lucy is travelling through a wasteland, and after receiving the message that five dead people came back. Her eyes sparkle with happiness for a moment.

Ragnar and Christina heard about Mikey's death during the Western War when they met Lucy. They thought that it was a joke at first, but then they learned the actual truth.

When they and Zoro heard about the five dead players coming back to life. They all thought that Mikey is going to be one of them.

These five people all spawned in a wasteland in the western continent. They're all wearing different masks and cloaks, which make them unrecognizable. The only features that make them different are their ranks and their bodies.

Their ranks are: 2, 7, 23, 51, and 58.

The person with rank 58 is a short person. It's to be a woman, her build is very feminine and she has a long hair.

58: "I am the weakest among us huh."

51, is a very tall and massive man who is almost three meters tall. He is by far the biggest. His height and size must be due to his attribute.

51: "Where are we?"

23 seems to be a woman aswell, her stance gives her a reserved vibe. She's a little taller than the other woman, and her hair is red. Her mask isn't covering her whole face, her lips, nose, and cheeks can be seen.

23: "You guys all died before the event right? This was the result of that event. The whole planet got more or less destroyed. I talked about it before."

51: "Is the whole planet in this state?"

Number 7 and 2 are having a different conversation.

7: "See? I told you. That guy who defeated me in the first event fight would be number one for sure."

2: "You were ranked number one at that time right?"

7: "Yes, and I just couldn't kill him no matter what I tried."

2: "Well, I don't really care if I am first or second."

7: "True, it isn't that important at the end of the day. But that man, if he turns out to be evil, he will kill a lot more people, he may have killed thousand by now to be honest."

Number two and number seven look similar in terms of body. They're exactly the same height, but number two is more muscular. Their masks also look somewhat similar. Number two has a red cloak, while number seven has a black one.

51: "What are you two chatting about?"

7: "The player who is ranked number one, I will be getting my revenge on him. He killed me during the first event, where everyone had to duel someone else."

2: "I need to find a certain someone, but I don't know where that person is."

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

58: "Ummm, could the five of us stick together for the time being? I am scared of other players."

23: "You're not weak anymore remember?"

7: "I don't see the issue with us sticking together, what do you say Mi-, I mean, Pirate King?"

The man with number two above his head looks at number seven: "Sure, why not."

2: "Anyways, I think it's a good idea to stick together anyway, we need to gather some information about the world. It's been a while since we've been here."

51: "Hmm, where should we go then?"

Everyone looks around. It's a wasteland as far as the eye can see.

23: "Wait, I can use one of my attributes."

Her mask starts shinung, it's because of her eyes actually.

23: "This mask is a bit annoying, but it doesn't stop my attribute."

58: "We have to keep wearing them however, because of our tasks."

23: "I know, I know."

Number 23 starts slowly turning around, until she does a 360 and ends up where she started.

Her mask stops shining and she shakes her head.

"Hmm, nothing around us. Or no one, which is even more surprising."

Number seven looks at number two.

2: "Well I could send them I guess."

51: "Oh that's right."

Number two, summon about one hundred fast, red, beings. They are spectrals, and their appearance resembles pirates.

They all start running into a different direction.

51: "They're so much stronger and faster than the first time we fought."

2: "Yeah, they evolved again recently. Can't believe I used to be that weak just a few months ago."

7: "We all were, but now things are different. There's no more losing."

After a minute or so, the pirates are only small red dots in the distance, and after another minute, number two recalls all of them.

"There's something going on over there." He points to the east. "There's like, I don't know how to explain it, but my pirate saw a few humans and Elves talking to eachother, and I am not sure but it looked like they were arguing. After that, one of the Elves defeated my pirate."

51: "He defeated your pirate that fast? They're pretty tough, no?"

2: "Yeah, relatively speaking they are. I guess these people aren't the weakest either."

7: "Let's pay them a visit."

The five revived people go towards the group of people.

They reach them and see four humans and four Elves, talking to eachother. They seem to have a heated conversation. One human and one elf are leading the conversation.

"I AM TELLING YOU THAT I DON'T GIVE A SHIT THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS! GIVE US SOME OF YOUR SUPPLIES, THAT'S HOW THE CONTRACT WAS WRITTEN!" The human shouts at the elf.

"YOU HUMANS ARE THE REASON WHY THIS ALL STARTED! THOSE TWO FUCKERS WHO RAIDED THAT UNDERGROUND LABORATORY AND STARTED THE WHOLE WAR!"

"WELL WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THEM ANYWAY!? ONE OF THEM IS DEAD, AND THE OTHER ONE HAS A MASSIVE ON HER HEAD! AND ITS NOT LIKE THEY CAUSED IT! THEY ONLY SPED UP THE PROCESS! THAT WAS PROVEN A LONG TIME AGO! AND ALSO, IT'S NOT LIKE WE HUMANS WANTED TO BE HERE!" Another one of the humans shouts at the elf.

"YOU LITTLE!" Another elf barges in the conversation and pulls out a long sword.

It looks like a battle is about to break out.

51: "Hey! The eight of you over there, what is happening?"

The five revived people approach the arguing humans and Elves.

"Who the hell are you?" The leading elf scuffs at them.

The four humans notice the low numbers above the revived people's heads.

The rankings of the four humans are relatively low. They're all in the higher thousands. The highest ranked person among them is rank 7172. It's the man who was leading the conversation with the elf.

7: "What's the problem guys?"

Elf leader: "I asked who the hell are you, are you humans too?!"

23: "And if we are?"

Elf leader: "What's the meaning of this? We are agreed to not bring in allies!"

The human representative takes advantage of the situation: "Well, you don't want to give us the supplies, of course we're gonna call allies." He smirks.

58: "Uhhh, we are not your allies, we just came here."

The situation starts going downhill from there, the Elf and Human just keep arguing.

Number 2 steps in and summons dozens of pirates around everyone, the pirates encircle everyone.

All of a sudden everyone calms down the Elves stop shouting at the humans, and the humans shake in fear.

2: "We are asking once more, and for the last time. What is happening?"
