Chapter 71 71 The Sixth Elder God

"I'm just joking, or maybe not" Gabriel laughed and moved away from Alex.

"I'm going to kill you I swear, as soon as I eat this, I'm really hungry"

"It's almost morning, should we continue in the morning or at noon?" Gabriel asked.

"Continue what?"

"The game... should we start in the morning of at noon, after eating lunch?" Gabriel asked again.

"Take a break, I don't know when I'm playing again, and you know I'm travelling tomorrow, I'm going to see my family" Alex said.

"That's all the more reason we should keep playing, you won't be able to play as much when you get home" Gabriel spoke.

"Then we should play at noon after lunch, I need to get some shut eyes, I'm going to be sleepy if I stay awake" Alex told Gabriel.

"Okay, I'm going to stay here till we start playing again, and we should probably check on Max in the morning"

"He might be grounded for staying out, I hope his mum doesn't take away his helmet, he's really helpful as a shield" Alex chuckled mischievously.

"We should get some sleep, remove your helmet" Gabriel said.

"What did you say, if you can't sleep on the ground then go home, your house isn't far from here you know"

"Okay the, lend me a sheet I can use the ground"

"Don't worry my floors are clean, you can use the vacuum if you think otherwise, good night...or good morning cause it already morning" Alex laughed as he laid on the bed.

"I know where you keep your spare sheet, I would take it" Gabriel said and stood up.

"I know, but what if it's not there" Alex smirked as Gabriel looked at him.

"It's there, Alex I know this is a long shot, but can you check on my mum for me" Gabriel spoke.

"Hey Alex, I just asked you for a favor you don't have to do it, Alex...Alex are you asleep" Gabriel called as he walked over to the bed.

"Gosh he's really asleep, guess I have to use the bed now" Gabriel smiled as he removed Alex's helmet and laid it on the table, then he slowly slide into Alex's bed and covered his body with the spare sheet he found.

"Alex is a good sleeper" Gabriel whispered as he closed his eyes to get some sleep.

The door to Aaron's office was opened and a busty lady stepped in, concern was written all over her face as she strode toward Aaron.

"Aurora what did you find" Aaron asked immediately.

"She was right, there was another warrior that we knew nothing about and his mark isn't permanent, it comes and goes" Aurora spoke.

"It comes and goes, that means he won't be welcomed by the Elder Gods, they would have to kill him" Aaron spoke and sighed heavily.

"I know the Elder Gods are helping humanity but is it really right to kill him just because he bares the mark, I know the mark causes destruction but the boy I met isn't the type" Aurora said as she sat down in front of Aaron.

"It's not the boy that you should worry about, it's the mark, that's the mark of the sixth Elder God who was sealed and banished"

"I know about him, he was angry with humanity for all their wrong doing and then he brought his wrath upon the world he was supposed to protect then the other five joined together and sealed him" Aurora explained.

"So you do listen...if the boy bares the sixth mark then he would be manipulated by the sixth Elder God and cause the destruction of humans again so he has to be killed"

"So who's going to kill him, we can't interfere in human wars or kill humans so we can't do it, does the Gods have an assassin for something like that?" Aurora asked.

"You only listen to part of the stories told to us, have you forgotten about the Naka, the assassin God created for that purpose"

"Ohh that's right...an incredibly skilled warrior that can take on any form and kill humans who are threat to the entire humans, so that innocent young boy is going to be killed, he's so handsome" Aurora said.

"More handsome than me?" Aaron asked.

"Looks like someone jealous, he is more handsome that all humans I've seen, you are not a human so don't compare yourself to him, but isn't there a way the destruction can be prevented"

"It can but not in this era, have you forgotten why we are here, we are here to prepare and raise human warriors that can protect humans for what is coming in the future, and the five chosen warriors who play an active roles"

"So he's coming back, according to the stories we were told, he is stronger than most gods, can humans be able to stop him?" Aurora asked.

"The five warriors would be blessed by the Elder Gods so there is nothing to worry about, and they are currently the top five players of Nova Online so I think they can protect humans" Aaron spoke.

"So when would the awakening begin?"

"I don't know, but the Elder Gods would inform me so I can start, for now we have to create more challenges so humans who be ready for what is to come" Aaron spoke as he closed his eyes.

"There is no way a human can survive an attack from Naka, I feel sorry for the young boy" Aurora mumbled a she stood up and walked towards the door.

"I forgot to ask, did you meet brother?" Aurora asked as she stood in front of the open door.

"Yes, and we have to visit home so be prepared to leave" Aaron said with his eyes still closed, Aurora smiled and stepped outside.

Alex rolled on his bed and he collided with something unfamiliar, he knew he wasn't staying with anyone so what was he touching.

Alex eyes slowly opened and he saw Gabriel sleeping peacefully besides him, Alex yawned and stood up from the bed, he was still sleepy but he had to use the toilet, it seems the sandwich he ate doesn't agree with him.

After some minutes of extreme battle in the toilet, Alex came out a winner as he successfully emptied his stomach.

"Bro, you have to take it easy" Gabriel laughed as Alex exited the toilet.

"It's your fault for making sandwich, your sandwich doesn't agree with my stomach" Alex said as he sat down on the chair besides his table.

Alex room was a studio apartment with three rooms, a living room, a bathroom and a kitchen, he had no bedroom so his bed was in his living room, Alex had a table where he does his reading and games playing on his laptop.

"Should we get back to the game now, we still haven't heard from Max, maybe he's really grounded" Gabriel said.

Both of them heard a knock on the door and Gabriel looked at Alex, Alex was closer to the door so he stood up and opened the door.

"Ohh it's Max, I thought you were grounded" Alex laughed as he spoke.

"Alex...there is something wrong here" Max spoke with nervousness.

"What's wrong, did you mum seize your helmet or what?"

"Rebecca is here, with an army" Max said and Alex popped his head outside his door and his jaws dropped.

He saw three men wearing black suits with stoic-looking faces, all three of them looked at Alex as his head was outside, Alex was so surprised that he couldn't look away.

His eyes darted around and he saw a tiny girl with glasses beside the three men, the front door was a little dark so he couldn't make out her face, the girl walked forward till she was in front of Alex, Max quickly moved away as the three men follow her.

"Stop following me, I'm going to tell my dad to get you fired" the girl pouted.

The men stepped back a little bit as they stare at Alex with an expressionless face, Alex couldn't even speak because of the men.

"Hi it's me Rebecca, you are Gabriel right" Rebecca asked.

"N-No I'm Alex, how did you find my apartment did you track us down?" Alex asked clearly nervous.

"No I didn't, Gabriel told me the address" Rebecca said.
