The Player's System

Create Trap

Retainer would no way let players walk around in the city. They were rushing in the city as if hounds sniffing the presence of the criminals. The Mala city was having conflict about the rumors. This was central city for the Empire if the rebellion broke in the central city then it would affect the Feast. 

The Feast was expected at the end of the week long activities. The preparations did not start instead the king was waiting for the two other kings from the five empires. 

They were also cursed the same day for the same reason. It bounded their fate for the rest of time. To avoid the sudden death they agreed to take the cruel charge of Feast. 

The seven Empires were under three kings. Their greed led them to this day. Mala city was selected for this Feast. It was grand city with several hundred towns. There were also close to hundred gardens and three palaces. 

Two palaces were built to welcome guests. The Retainers of the Alter were selected to kill Arena Runners before the Feast. Yesterday the priest predicted that Arena Runners might destroy the cause of the Feast and bring destruction for the Empires. 

The Arena Runners were those who were against this Feast. They believed that the Feast of King would bring disaster for the Empire. This began the enmity. The king ordered to eliminate them after knowing their determination. 

Presently the Retainers got the news that three teams of Arena Runners entered in the Mala city. It was fair chance to kill them before they collect all support from the natives. 

Third team finally came to know that this city could become their morgue if they let themselves hostage. [Two players of the second team got familiar with the danger. 

They were currently running away from them. They decided to set free other five team members then battle against ruffians. They knew that without collaboration they would not be able to cross all hurdles of the second level. 

The third team was fleeing because three retainers were chasing them. One of the team members was killed. They were cursing the Book of Detection because it misled them. 

They straightway followed the clue and ended up in front of the retainers. First hand verbal fight took place when the retainer handcuffed the team head. 

They were shocked but then the retainers forcefully held two of them. It triggered rest of them. Now the whole team split and running for life, compared to the first team, the second team was slightly organized.

However they were bound to battle and see the results. They were not prepared.] Junan and his team members were walking in the empty street hoping that the retainer should not come back and ask the shopkeepers strictly. 

But it was fine since they changed their direction completely. "We cannot simply walk in front and start battle. Presently we are clueless about their numbers. It is possible that we fight with one retainer and few others appear for his help. In that case our strength would lower down compared to them." Albert understood that they will battle so he spoke up his concerns. 

"You are right. The numbers are not clear. For this we should create traps for each retainer. Throw this way we can easily get rid them one by one. I think the appearance of all retainers must be the same." Junan spoke explaining. 

His plan was perfect. The retainers were strong. Facing more than two in single attempt was somehow workable however facing more than that could increase the troubles of the team members. 

Sashi and Ahram did not take part in the conversation. They were feeling rustic because of jumping in the trash bins. Jake also preferred silence. 

Killing retainers was only option given. They could potentially create big mess for the players and stop from the further advancement. He did not want to ask from the 'helper' to tell the exact numbers of the retainers. 

They will eventually know during killing mission. Junan looked at Ahram and spoke, "Your profession is suitable for first task. You can easily sprint at the buildings and search the street ahead of us. See if the retainer is around and inform. We will prepare accordingly and capture him." Junan was getting mature about the professions and their possible jobs. 

Jake liked this suggestion. This was called best use of profession. Then Junan looked toward Sashi, "You might have noticed the changes in the main weapons. You will try your best to shoot as many arrows as you could to injure the retainer. 

Junan did not ask Jake to use gun for this purpose because bullets make sound and it could attract unwanted attention. Sashi nodded. She was indeed glad to see level two arrows. Perhaps they were correlated with the levels of the players or the players were clueless how developers matched the skills and weapons of each player. It was no more comparable with other games in the market. 

Those games have different set of rules and how the players could posh skills or the weapons. Customizing weapons has already reached another level in few games and the players were tired of them playing for decade. 

This game portal was challenge for those who were playing advance games. Who would have thought such game setting and the retainers? They were here to kill the king or steal the Feast of Kings. 

"Now I have some premonition of danger about the Feast of Kings. It must be something odd." Clark sounded moved by the challenge. After dividing jobs Junan get toward others. 

"You all will be battling to silently kill the retainer. We should carefully dump the dead body of the enemy. All precautions would secure us for some time." Junan spoke in low voice. 

They heard footsteps and turned at the next street worried that natives might start shouting seeing them here.. The natives were loyal toward the retainers or perhaps feared King.
