Within the Nahida Forest, Black Scythe, Raven and Tinkerbella were going deeper into the central area where the monsters were a bit more powerful than those before.
Leveling was easy because of the arrays, and all three players were already lvl 10 before they knew it, reaching the lvl cap of the Beta Release.
This happened specifically because of the [Arrays] that allowed them to have increased stats and farm [Exp] on weaker monsters, letting them level up at a faster rate than usual.
On the short side, they used all of their arrays, and also lost about 3 hours in the middle. Now they had only 3 hours left before they could complete this task of theirs.
"How much farther?" Black Scythe asked, getting goosebumps as he ventured into the deeper parts of the forest.
The forest was especially dark with the evening coming faster, and the light in the forest getting dimmer with time.
"Just a little more. It should be somewhere here. Just look for a giant tree with roots. According to the guards in the city, it should be easy to locate it once we are in the area," Raven spoke as she kept looking around.
"Umm... is that the tree?" Tinkerbella, who saw a special tree at a distance, spoke out.
Raven and Black Scythe looked in the direction where Tinkerbella was pointing, and a smile appeared on their faces as they nodded. Raven even hugged Tinkerbella, speaking,
"Yes! That's the one!"
At a distance there was a glowing tree at the center of a lake. The tree had purplish lighted leaves, with roots running down from the stems. Everything about that tree matched the description of what they knew.
"Alright. Let's proceed carefully," Black Scythe spoke, while Raven nodded.
"Hey. Tinkerbella. How did you end up in the storeroom with the cooking and all? Did you trigger some special quest or something?" Raven, who was peculiarly interested in Tinkerbella, asked as she turned around, looking at Tinkerbella.
As the three walked, Tinkerbella then told them about what happened with Anna. It wasn't a secret, so she didn't have any problem telling them about how she became involved with Anna.
Listening to her story, they were pretty amazed. First, she was lucky enough to get picked by Anna, then she was asked to cook, something she was apt in, which led her to get the [Cooking Skill].
Opening the letter, Nvida looked at it for a while as her smile turned a little chilly. The surrounding temperature dropped a little as well, making the three players feel chilly.
"Give my regards to Wesker. Tell him he owes me one for this," Nvida spoke as she then clicked her fingers, bringing Raven and Black Scythe out of their stupor. They both looked at the [New Quest Update!] and nodded before moving away from there.
They ran hurriedly as the atmosphere was creeping them out a bit too much. This game was far too realistic than they had expected, enough to make them wonder if they were really in a game.
Running away from there, there was also a hint of a smile on their faces. Especially Black Scythe and Raven... Because this was the type of adventure they actually craved for.
Unlike other RPGs, this one was the best. It made them feel in touch with the adventures they were having... And they were loving every moment there was to it.
On the other hand, the forest lady, Nvida. She looked at the contents of the letter.
[Morpheus is having s*x with Irene.]
-Crunch!
"You sure are enjoying this, aren't you?" Nvida sighed as she crushed the letter and mumbled to herself. Everything she was doing was because Wesker asked her to.
According to Wesker, this was what he was preparing for so long, and if Nvida wanted more information on why he was doing this or answer any of her related questions, she had to do this first.
Nobody understood the point of doing all this.
The players might be immortal, but they were too weak. Nvida didn't even need to try, and they were already charmed by her. Why was Wesker focusing so much on something like this?
In fact, the only thing that made Nvida keep her guard up was the fact that Wesker had asked her to do this. And since Wesker was doing this... it's definitely something that she cannot just overlook.
"Seems like I would need to observe things a bit more. Hmmm... well, let's enjoy this while we are at it too," Nvida then smiled as she hummed and ventured deeper into the forest.
This was only the first of the few things Wesker had asked her to do, and for the rest of the things, she decided to add a bit of her own spices and mixes.
"Don't blame me since you asked me to have fun in this as well," Nvida laughed evilly, thinking about the things she was going to add to this little plan of Wesker.
