Chapter 38: Free will

Supreme moved his gaze around the place, and a frown settled on his face. 'Hey system, can I reject this quest?'

{As I said before, host can make his own decision.}

{The quest is optional, but if you refuse to accept the quest, you will lose a permanent cheat.}

{Do You accept the quest?}

{Yes/ No.}

'I can also refuse quest?' Supreme thought a little surprise by this revelation.

{How many times will I tell you host, you aren't bounded by the system.}

"That is good to know, reject the quest"

{Note: you will lose a permanent cheat.}

{Are You sure about your decision? YES/NO.}

Supreme observed the players one last time and nodded. 'This guys look hopeless and lost, I don't have time to train or protect these guys. They die, their luck. I will surely miss the cheat, but at least I have one'

"Reject"

{Quest Successfully deleted.}

{-3 points, you are currently owning the system three points.}

"You didn't tell me about this!"

{You didn't ask.}

"..."

"(Sighs) at least I don't need to risk my life, About the points... I can surely make up for it.

"Ok everyone, gather around!" Schoolgirl yelled at the players, who were busy looking around in shock.

"We aren't complete."

"Yeah, What about the others"

"Guys do you think?"

"Imposters"

The players' faces turned paled, after hearing the word 'imposters.'

"What about supreme?" Someone asked. Causing everyone to turned their heads to supreme, who was yawning at a side.

"I heard screams coming from his room, do you think..." a player whispered to the blue hair man. Who just nodded calmly.

"He is just lucky, that's all." The man replied, walking towards schoolgirl.

"Ok guys, it looked like there are more than one imposter in our group, this is very heartbreaking even after everything I said, I am very disappointed." She stared at the players with a dark expression.

'Here she goes again' Supreme thought, he was very happy that he wouldn't have to risk his life for these fools, who aren't worthy for his precious time, For heaven's sake! They are still suspecting him, thinking he was an imposter.

Should he really Care about them? No!

"What should we do now? We lost six players, and we don't know if the imposters are among this number, so everyone need to stay alert in the next resting time. Do you all understand?!" The blue hair man yelled.

"Yes!"

"Ok, we will stay together, and keep our guard up"

The players just nodded, out of 19 players which entered the ancient garden, only 13 remained.

"Ok, let get ready for the next stage."

[TEN MINUTES LATER.]

In the center of the magnificent garden, a pillar of light shot into the air, pulsating with unknown energy.

"Let go, stay alert everyone" schoolgirl walked first, and disappeared after walking inside the light.

"Let go" the blue hair man added, following her, then the rest players.

"These two are getting closer." Supreme muttered, and check the number of imposters.

{Imposters: 3/5.}

"Calm down you!, let see where you are leading us now!" Supreme snapped, and walked inside the light.

In a huge magnificent hall, which was decorated with countless golden crystals, which shone like pure golden gems. In the center of the hall was a round table, with 13 golden thrones. Metal knight statues armed with different weapons were placed around the hall, Five beautiful chandeliers hang on the ceiling above the round table.

Don't even talk of the floors, the floors looked like they were made from gold. Which captivated all the players.

"Beautiful" schoolgirl muttered. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

While all the players nodded like chicks picking rice from the ground.

"Wow! This is too extravagant!"

"You are right!"

Even supreme was stunned. 'Oh my, this game is something else. The only thing I discovered in this game is; The more elegant and beautiful the place is, the more players dies.'

The players nodded and sat on the thrones, which had their names on it.

"I feel like a king"

"Yeah. I always dream of being a princess" a female player said.

She and schoolgirl are the only females left in the group, Schoolgirl nodded calmly.

"What are we doing now? We can't just sit here" schoolgirl groaned, staring at the other players, a frowned settled on her face When she spot supreme sleeping on his throne with both hands behind his head.

'Can't he be serious for once?!!'

"At least we have two hours, that will be enough" schoolgirl said with a smile, and added. "Show us the puzzle!"

The round table moved in circular motion in front of them, and a big puzzle box rose from the center of the table and stood 1 meter above the table surface. The players' gazes were fixed on the table.

The hall was silent for two whole minutes, causing supreme to opened his eyes.

"Did we win?" He asked looking around. "Why are all of you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"

"(Sighs)... You said, you will help us in the next game, so here we are" schoolgirl said.

'I thought you aren't listening?' He nodded calmly. And stretched out his body. "Ok, tell me. What is this thing on the table all about? I didn't see it when I sat down."

'How could you! When you were sleeping like a fool!!' Schoolgirl hissed inwardly, but said with a smile. "We need to answer this riddle, and then find the pieces of the riddle answer and placed in on its spot, after completing the puzzle we win, then we can leave this place." She explained patiently.

"Leave this place?" Supreme looked around the hall, and the countless knight statues. "One question?" He raised a finger.

"Are there no exit?"

"Huh?" Schoolgirl and the players looked around the hall, and truthfully there was not a single door at sight.

"How are we going to leave then?"

"This is bad!!"

"What!!"

"I think... if we win the stage, the light doorway will appear again." Schoolgirl gave an idea.

"Ok" supreme nodded, "so What is the riddle?"

"Let see" schoolgirl stood up, so she couldn't see the riddle on the round table. The table was so high that if you sat down it rim will touch your chest, you won't be able to see the complete surface, unless you stand up.

"What the butt?!!" She yelled, after seeing the riddle.

"What happened?" All the players stood up instantly, but when they saw the riddle, their faces changed dramatically.

"Not again!!!!"
