Lord of Mysteries: Dimensional Adventure Group Chat (Multiverse)

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Sudden Death



(POV MC)

"*Awaken*." I said in a low growl outside in my backyard while the kids were inside the house alone, doing who knows what.

My hair subtly changed as its earthlike color started to shift ever so slightly, as it began to match the sky itself in color. My eyes glowed with a blueish aura, as the aura enveloped my entire body. I paused before admiring the cracks below my feet and the overflowing mana circulating through my system. I felt like I could take the world head-on with just my body alone.

'A spell copying dad's cursed energy reinforcement perfected with the flow method my teacher taught me last year. This spell truly is one of my finest creations to date. It may have its flaws, but this spell is worth the cost. Even if it's only a basic body strengthening spell following a more complex structure.' I thought as I held myself back from getting too drunk on my own power like an idiot.

A fool in my situation would foolishly get themselves killed with the sudden influx of power flooding through their body as they felt they were practically invincible. I wouldn't let these imperfections in my spell influence me too greatly while I cast it.

No changes whatsoever, huh?

Even with all the power flowing through my veins at this time, the profile hasn't made a single change...

I guess I just got a clearer understanding of how this profile system calculates its stats and limits.

Maybe If I get a crippling injury or naturally increase my power.

The profile would update itself. Who knows, in the end. It's not like I will see it anytime soon at the current rate.

"*Seal*." The blue aura around me started to recede into my body as my hair and eyes went back to normal.

My extreme overconfidence started to fade as all the other side effects the spell caused me vanished.

'I guess It's time I call it a night and get ready to train my students tomorrow.' I thought as I kept the concealment barrier around the house. I felt something strange, but I didn't know what it was ever since my room was on fire.

"Was my room even on fire... Did that ever happen or am I imagining things?" I asked aloud while I walked back upstairs to ready myself for tomorrow.

. . .

(POV Sam)

Big Brother and Luc Luc have been train train and fight fight outside with weapons for the last few days without me.

They think I don't know anything, but I am a big boy!

I am sneaky like a ninja, hidden like the, ummm shadows.

The shiny lights around them look so cool.

Is Luc Luc and big bro wizards?

Will I be like them, when I am bigger?

When will Luc Luc tell me like Big Bro about the magic stuff he's been doing behind my back?

Miss Rachnee from Luc Luc's room keeps me company while Big Bro and Luc Luc train.

She showed me a black book and it hurt my head.

It showed me training too, just like them.

Miss Rachnee's word came true.

They started to include me to train train and fight fight.

No magic though.

Me mad, but train train with Luc Luc and Big Bro is so fun.

I love it here, I never wanna leave.

. . .

(POV MC)

"Master, where are you going anyway?" My student asked while he and his little brother were training in the backyard.

"Just watch your little brother for me and keep training like I showed you two. Don't worry guys, I just need to head upstairs for a bit." I responded while looking at the major development that just happened in the chat.

Scumbag was bragging about finishing his first quest while also complaining about being super tired. It was normal till it wasn't anymore.

>[Open chat]<

[User (Thieving Scumbag Of Gender Equality) has died.]

(I couldn't respond for a while as I started to rearrange my plans with this sudden development.)

(I guess this wasn't one of those types of systems after all if one of the members could die this soon.)

[Fairytale Animal]: You can die, nobody told me we could die here.

(Donkey being Donkey.)

(Never change man, never change.)

[Gold Blood Cultivator]: Seems the heavens are jealous of our opportunities, so they sought the end of another who held this mysterious artifact.

(Seems Gold is still being himself after this all went down.)

[Island Devil]: @(Gold Blood Cultivator), earlier you talked about your experience being bullied in your sect till you found that mysterious black book under your bed. Gold, if someone ever tries to take away your freedom, take away their freedom first before they take away yours. 

(Did I miss something in the group chat while I was training those kids?)

(I paused for a bit while I looked at the sudden flood of comments pouring in after that dude died.)

[Gold Blood Cultivator]: Thanks @(Island Devil), your talks about freedom truly helped me understand my own destiny, and the path I should take.

[Fairytale Animal]: Why are you both talking about that here in this situation? A member of our group chat just died.

[Rabbit Ghoul]: @(Fairytale Animal), the guy whoever he was is dead. What else can we do, but keep moving on going forward? (._.)

(Did she actually care about that bastard or what? She's acting completely different than her usual self in the chat.)

(Or is she acting like this because she won't be getting her coins, but Scumbag did complete his quest, and she said good job to the dude.)

(OH...)

(She must have got her coins when he finished his quest, but I doubt she got all her payments before the guy died.)

[Magical Ms. KnowItAll]: Maybe we could bring him back to life in the future. My professor told me to learn as much as I could about this group chat system thing.

(Perhaps...)

[Sea Devil Child]: @(Magical Ms. KnowItAll) How old are you anyway?

[Magical Ms. KnowItAll]: I'm 12.

(Damn, we have a kid in this system...)

(What the hell is this system planning anyway?)

[Sea Devil Child]: You felt rather mature for your age, but you talking about exposing the system to another is just childish. Do you even have any method to protect yourself, the things you got from the supreme ticket alone should have shown you the value of this mysterious thing and the value it holds in the wider world.

(Seems I wasn't the only one who saw things this way too.)

[Night Sidekick]: Sea Devil is right @(Magical Ms. KnowItAll), can you even trust your professor with a secret at this level? I have a few friends I can trust, but I've known them for years by this point. I understand their character and trust them. Can you really do the same with this professor you've known for less than a year? 

(Wow, this guy actually opened up a bit. Is the world going to end or what?)

[Magical Ms. KnowItAll]: You guys don't understand, he's famous all throughout the world. He's been teaching at our school for ages now. His reputation clearly shows he's worthy of my trust in these matters.

(Yep, definitely a child if she has this kind of mindset about those who are famous.)

[Deathly Justice]: Little girl, justice and what is right and wrong is easy to manipulate in the eyes of others if you feed them the right information. Your teacher may have the appearance & reputation of a good man. But everyone has a few skeletons in their closet, it's not easy for someone to reach the level of power you're describing without stepping on a few dreams along the way.

(Deathly Justice...)

(Seems I need to keep an eye on this guy if my assumptions are anything to go by!)

[Magical Ms. KnowItAll]: You guys are all wrong ok. My professor would never betray my trust.

(...)

[Island Devil]: I once had three friends, and we went through life-and-death situations together. We slayed giant monsters who sought to eat everyone behind us we stood to protect. They were traitors, they were working for our enemies who sought to kill everyone in my homeland. 

[Island Devil]: I thought I knew them since we spent years together fighting alongside each other. Betrayal never comes from those you don't trust, betrayal always comes from within your group of those you do trust. @(Magical Ms. KnowItAll)

(Island Devil, I guess the dude does care about other people if he's willing to go this far to warn her.)

[Deathly Justice]: @(Magical Ms. KnowItAll) Never give your professor any items you win in the future. Greed is known as a deadly sin, along with envy for a reason. It becomes a very dangerous mix of emotions to feel at once for a long extended period. Your teacher, or those around you who hear about what you hold, may slowly grow to betray you due to how massive an opportunity as Gold would call this system.

(Talk about a sudden change or what.)

[Fairytale Animal]: I get why y'all are trying to help the kid out but isn't anyone going to comment on the other guy's death?

[Night Sidekick]: Yes he died, but the online feature is still working. It clearly shows he's watching the chat at this very moment. @(Thieving Scumbag Of Gender Equality) Stop hiding and tell us how the hell you're still here even though the system clearly showed you died.

(Wait the guy Is still here, but the system just said he died in the chat...)

Everyone is online, and none of the members are removed from the chat...

I wouldn't think the system is this buggy that it wouldn't remove the permanently dead users from the chat.

So what the hell is going on here and how the hell is Scumbag still alive.
