" you guys ready, I am about to start the Gateway Formation Array." said the Old Lady.

" Give us a minute, Janet do your thing. " said James, Janet nodded.

Janet closed her eyes and concentrated, soon 8 marble sized milky white orbs flew out of her forehead and entered the rest of the team's forehead one by one.

' hello can everyone hear me.. .' asked Janet.

' yes ' rest of the team replied.

' I have created 8 mental channels , one for each one of you and stepup a group with all the channels. ' said Janet explianing in details

' okay Janet we know already, every turn on your location ' said James.

" oh a telepathic ability, I see you guys are well prepared. I was worried for no reason. " said the old lady shaking her head.

" we are ready senior " said Leon. as rest of team nodded in agreement

" okay " said the Old lady as she moved to the corner of the room from the centre.

A Pitch black orb appeared above the 9 of them and swallowed them all in a blink.

" finally done, hope the will fare better than the last 10 men team. " said the Old Lady looking at the empty room.

Name : Janet Mellon

Age : 15years 11month 29days 20hrs old

Ability : M-Chat

M-chat or Mind chat, is an advanced ability based on telepathy. This ability is very similar to a chatting app instead of smart device it works by connecting peoples mind with telepathy. It allows the user to create a mental chat app by linking the minds of people using milky white Orb. The Orb can only connet to people with their permission.

Once the connection between the two minds are set, the two people can talk with each other through telepathy no matter how far they are within the same dimenstion.

M-chat similar to any other chatting app has live friend location tracking. the connected people can sense each others location with permission of the other no matter how far they are within the same dimenstion.

M-chat has another function, like voice chat and video chat in chatting apps, M-chat allows the connected people to share each others five senses, one person can feel all the five senses of the other person no matter how far they are within the same dimenstion with the consent of the other person.

When many people are conneted to M-chat, the ability owner as the admin has the full authority to create separate groups, or individual chat or mute a certain member that is everything a admin can do in a normal chatting app, but every action of the abmin and other members while be seen in M-chat log, like abmin muted member1 or abmin created a sperated group with member 1\u00262, etc and this M-chat log cannot be tempered with by the admin and is accessable to every m-chat member. the M-chat log only contains the action of a admin and the members but not the information of the individual chat through telepathy.

A person can exit M-chat with just a thought, Members of M-chat also have the authority to create separate chat with another member but they cannot create a group without the abmins permission.

The abmin is completely immune to any kind of mental attacks from the member of the M-chat.

As soon as James was sallowed by the pitch black ord, he felt all his conscious was disconneted with all his senses. James felt compeletly helpless unable to See, hear, smell, move or feel. James did not know how much time he spent with in the pitch black orb as his conscious lacked the senses of time. soon the orb spit his out of it on a unknown strange land.

Looking around James could see the other 8 members of his team, standing in the same manner and position as they stood in the white room while being swollowed by the pitch black orb. but the modren clothes they were wearing somehow seemed to be changed into Japanese Edo period clothes.

Leon was dressed like Japanese Samuri of Edo period. Justin, Luca were dressed like Edo period Japanese soilders. Ava and Janet were dressed like Japanese Edo period maid. Mira and Trisha was dressed in complete black like a ninja of Edo period. while James and Malinda were dressed like Edo period Japanese scholars, also malinda's mordern motorized wheel chair had turned into steam motor wooden wheel chair.

As soon as they got thier senses back the team started to make sense of their sourrounding and figure out where and in what kind of situation they where in.

Currently they were standing in the middle of a mud road and on the both side of the road was vast Jungle with tall tree's covered in mist. the sky was covered in dark clouds and was pouring rain.

" lets take shelter under the tree's till the rain stops " said Trisha, looking at rest of the team.

" No! " exclaimed rest of the team. For some reason their faces were unsightly filled with confusion, fear, uncertainity and disappointment.

" why ?" asked Trisha looking at the rest, James slapped his forehead sighing 'pig teammate' he mumbled. rest shook their head and thought ' ignorance is bliss '.

" Trisha, we are in the 'Crying Heavens' " Explained Malinda.

" What!!... but that is S level difficulty Scenario? how can we be so unlucky?!!" shouted Trisha, finally her care free expression chaged.

Mira whose body was trembleling unknow to her, finally pointed towards James and shout" Its all your fault, its you who suggested to form a 9 member team now we are few moments away from death, if only we had formed 5 member maybe we would still be able to survive. none of you lisntened to my warnings... wuwu wu wu wu!" and started to weep loudly.

James face became unslightly filled with anger, but before he could act Leon slapped Mira and said " stop weeping, James is not to blame here, he did not force you in this team, you this with your own free will. And this is not the time to point fingers and sow discord within ourselves."

Mira who was slapped by Leon although stopped crying but still she looked at James with resentment. James choose to ignore her for now but if this escalated he doesn't mind make a example out of her.

" Malinda, how sure are you that this is 'Crying Heavens'?" asked Janet looking at clam Malinda.

" 100 percent. Dark clouds covering the sky blocking sun while continuously pouring rain and mud road between a vast forest shrouded in mist, yep this is 'Crying Heavens' and right now we are at the 'Wandering Forest of Misty Peak'. " said Malinda looking at the forest.

" can you tell at stage of the manga are we in right now? " asked Janet.

" um.... 'Wandering Forest of Misty Peak' only appear in Volume 1 and only last with in first 25 chapaters of the manga. " said Malinda looking at Janet who was lost in her thoughts.

" Okay we still have hope as the 'Wandering Forest of Misty Peak' is like the beginner village for the rookie Male Lead and Female lead to develop. so unless something out of normes happens we should be fine.. " as Janet was explaining a sudden prompt appeared on everyones status window interjecting Janet.

' welcome to Terror Multiverse '

' Scenario - ' Crying Heavens ', voume 1 'Wandering Forest of Misty Peak' '

' Main Task - Help Princess Tokugawa Masako Reach Kitsuki District through Nagamachi village '

' Alert - Scenario search prop ' Nether Flame Fiend's Bone Fragment ' detected. '

' Notice - Scenario under Penalty '

' Penalty 1. Scenario Reward decreaed by 10 percent. '

' Penalty 2. Explore by oneself. '

' Caution, Any mention of Original work or Terror Multiverse or home planet or any compromising Information will lead to severe penalty, even lead to collapase of the scenario. '

.....

Scenario Prop, is nothing but double experience card or double reward cards in a games. there are many types of scenario props like double T-coins Prop, Scenrio Escape Prop, Scenrio search Pro etc.

Scenario Prop should be carried on preson while being swallowed by the Pitch black ord. Scenario Props are rewarded by the World Terror.

There are two kinds of Scenrio Props one with penalty and one without penalty. Scenario search prop falls under penalty porp category.

Scenario search prop ' Nether Flame Fiend's Bone Fragment ' , Scenrio search prop is prop which helps the user to land in scenrio to which the the prop belongs to but under some penalty.

For Example ' Nether Flame Fiend's Bone Fragment ' Scenario search prop belongs to Nither Flame Fiend, so when the user uses this prop the user will land in a scenrio where Nither Flame Fiend has possibility of showing up.

Basically A search prop is a prop which helps the Returners to search for a particular scenario, character, occupation, abilites, Items, equipment etc.

..........

As soon as the 9 member party read the World Terror prompt they were thundred struck, they felt as if a bomb went off in there head.

Someone among them used a scenario search prop, the first penality was nothing as long as they get to survive, but second penality which they did not know was the concern extinguishing any hope of them ever surviving this scenario.

Each Member started to look the other with Suspiciousness, this bad for them. the had already lost half of it hopes because of 'S level difficulty Scenario' and now this betrayal from with in the group.

" which one of you MF's used the Scenario Search prop?!" shouted Justin, looking at Leon, Luca, Mira.

" why the fuck are you eyeballing us? " said Luca, clearly he suspected James, Justin, Janet and Ava. And he considered Trisha too dumd to be part of this.

" It wasn't one of us, than who else other than you guys? " said Justin, If not for his sister constantly telling him to keep calm through M-Chat he would have already gone Breserk.

Just as Luca was about to retort, James butted in saying " both off you shut up, first focus on the scenario. you need to be alive to blame each other. "

" you would want it wouldn't you James, because its you guys who used the Scenario Search prop. " Mira sneered and continued," clearly you tried so hard to get Scenario Coordinates which will help heal Trisha, what better way than using the healing properties of Nether Flame of the Nether Flame Fiend. "

When Mira mentioned this rest of the members looked at James for an explination including Justin. Ava and Trisha did not care they would back James no matter what.

" Mira, shut up what you say doesn't even make sense. James already had The scenario coordinate of ' 5 Elemental Ninja KIngdom ' which would be far more safer and efficient way to heal Trisha's injuries. And Nether Flame is completely opposite to Trisha's Passive ability using this flame to heal her would cause her more harm then good. " Explained Janet, eyeing her brother for doubting James.

Hearing Janet's explination Mira just snorted and said " it was definitly not use and you guys claim it was not then who? "

" stop it Mira, who ever it was they will be found with time. but now is not the time or place for blaming each other and sowing discord with in the team. right now we are in S level difficulty scenario none of use can servive alone. we need to be a team to servive this remember our practice, the scenario should be staring soon. " said Leon shaking his head, clearly he was more worried about how to surive than finding the traitor.

" but how than we trust them after such an a betaral, forget being team I am even afriad to stand next to them. who knows what they have planned. " said Mira with dramatic gestures.

" Mira, I said.... " as Leon was about to repramind Mira, the team felt the earth below them tremble as if something colossal was coming their way in a very fast speed.

Feeling the Tremble they looked in the direaction of which the distrubance was coming from. even though it was a plane striaght mud road nobody could see the figure of what was coming in their direaction. It seems to be still far from them.

" I see it " said Trisha, Trisha's prosthetic eye ball has a very long range of sight. Hearing this Janet said ," share your sight with the group. "

With the help of the M-chat Trisha's Vison was shared with the team. But what they saw made the hair stand up on the back of their neck's.
