MMORPG: Strongest Assassin Online

"Okay, as the leader all of you should submit your coins to me," Alex said and the group burst into laughter.

"If we get to a bigger city, we should consider opening a guild," Max said.

"A guild...just the four of us?" Gabriel asked.

"Yes, being in a guild is one of the easier ways to make money, guilds are given missions by the city and they are paid huge amounts, if we open a guild and complete a good mission, we would have enough money to buy an Epic item," Max explained.

"Are epic items that expensive," Alex spoke.

"Yeah, they are pretty expensive, but they can also be found in dungeons and sort, but if you are not strong enough, you may sacrifice your life," Max said.

"Yeah we all know about that, but opening a guild isn\'t a bad idea"

"Can\'t we buy items with real money?" Rebecca asked.

"No you can\'t" Max said.

"But if you pay me enough money, I can protect you in the game" Gabriel smiled.

"Don\'t listen to him, you can use real money to buy items in the game, and standing here and talking about items isn\'t going to help us, either we buy something or we return to the forest" Alex spoke.

"Shouldn\'t we log out, you know it\'s getting late, and you are traveling tomorrow" Max said.

"It\'s getting late... what\'s the time?" Rebecca asked.

"It\'s almost 5:00 pm," Max said.

"What!! 5:00 pm, I need to be at home, my dad is coming to visit today" Rebecca shouted.

"It\'s pretty late, I\'m going back home tomorrow so I need to arrange my things" Alex said.

"Okay...then we are logging out," Max shouted.

Alex waited for a second with his eyes closed, the he moved his hands and touched his helmet and knew he was in the real world, he removed the helmet and opened his eyes.

As soon a she opened his eyes he saw three large bodies standing not quite far from him, Alex knew he was in his room so what were these men doing here.

"Hey this one is back" one of the men spoke.

"What did you do to the boss\'s daughter?" one of the men shouted and Alex flinched.

"S-She is alright," Alex quickly muttered, "See, she\'s waking up" Alex pointed towards Rebecca as she took the helmet off her head.

"What\'s wrong,why are you in here, get out" Rebecca shouted angrily and the men walked out immediately.

"I\'m very sorry" Rebecca said to Alex.

"No problem, what were you guys doing in there?" Alex asked.

"I noticed that we can\'t message each other in the game, so we exchanged friend requests" Max said.

"Were you scared?" Gabriel chuckled.

"I wasn\'t...I was just surprised, that\'s all" Alex snorted.

"Damn I\'m hungry" Gabriel said as he looked towards Alex.

"Don\'t even think about it" Alex said as he stood up, immediately he walked over to his drawer and took out a key, then he walked towards his kitchen and locked the door.

"Why are you locking the kitchen?" Gabriel asked.

"Ohh, I\'m going away, there is no use leaving the kitchen opened" Alex said.

"What\'s the difference, it\'s not like anyone is going to break in and steal your food" Gabriel told him.

"I know no one is going to break in, but I gave my spare key to someone and I don\'t want him to invade my kitchen privacy" Alex smiled.

"Wait...you gave your keys to someone else apart from me?" Gabriel was surprised.

"No, you are the someone" Alex said as he ran to the bathroom laughing.

"I have my own house and my own kitchen in case you forgot" Gabriel shouted.

"So Alex is leaving, would he had time to play the game?" Max asked Gabriel.

"Yeah, he\'s just going to visit not like he going there to work, he had siblings for that" Gabriel replied.

"You guys should save my number, if you ant to log in again, I don\'t want to play the game alone" Rebecca said.

"No problem" Max said, Gabriel already brought out his phone to collect her number.

Alex walked out of the bathroom yawning loudly, he was also hungry and his stomach wasn\'t going to take no for an answer, his mum already sent his enough money to take a train back home, so the little he had left was for food.

"I\'ve saved it, you guys should call me" Rebecca said as she stood up from the chair.

"You\'re leaving?"

"Yes, I gave my number to Gabriel and Max, if you want to log in again, you should call me so I can join you guys" Rebecca said.

"Before you leave, what about the training and stuff we talked about?" Max asked.

"That\'s true, tomorrow I\'ll come pick the two of you, is that okay"

"Yeah it\'s fine, I\'ve always wanted to learn Kung Fu" Max said and Alex scoffed.

"Try no to pass out when learn your Kung Fu" Alex said and they all laughed.

"Bye guys, I had a nice time" Rebecca smiled as she opened he door and left.

"She\'s mine..." Gabriel smirked.

"That\'s your problem, I\'m going to take a shower, then I\'m going out, so you guys can leave" Alex announced.

"Okay bye... wait, before I leave, I don\'t have your numbers," Max said.

The two of them exchanged numbers with Max, and Alex also collected Rebecca\'s number, Max and Gabriel left to their own apartment while Alex took his bath.

Alex filled his tub with warm water and took off his clothes, he looked at the mirror in his bathroom and smiled before stepping into the tub.

Alex was proud of his body, he hasn\'t visit the gym in a while but his body was still in shape, even though he had no muscles he was still very fit.

"Haaa..." Alex sighed in relief as his body entered the water, he was feeling tired despite doing nothing.

\'This is great, that\'s right... the mark\' Alex opened his eyes and looked at his chest.

"There is no mark here, that game is just messing with me, and what\'s with those guys, telling me I\'m going to die for the peace of the world...bullshit" Alex said as enjoyed the warmth of the water.

Suddenly his chest began to itch him but Alex ignored it, slowly his chest was getting hotter till he could no longer ignored it then he opened his eyes.

A mark was on his chest and it was slowly glowing, immediately Alex jumped out of the water, he quickly stood in front of his mirror and cleared his eyes.

He opened them again and saw the mark on his chest and it was glowing, Alex still couldn\'t believe his eyes, he knew it was the same mark he saw in the game and he didn\'t have a mark like this in real life.

"I\'m still in the game, I must\'ve mistaken" Alex smiled as he looked around.

He was in his bathroom in the real world, but how did the mark appeared on his chest, Alex was confused, before he could return back to the bathroom he felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Alex staggered a little before he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Alex woke up feeling dizzy, he felt a throbbing pain in his head like he was hit by a metal bat, the pain slowly subsided and he pushed himself in a sitting position.

"Huh! when did I log back in" Alex wondered as he looked at the surrounding.

He knew he wasn\'t in the real world because he was in a cave, a cave that was lit by white crystals hanging around in the cave.

Alex stood up and looked at himself, he wasn\'t wearing his armor or his cloak, his clothes were different but it didn\'t matter much.

\'Status screen\' Alex mumbled under his breath but nothing happened, the system didn\'t appear.

"You are in a trance" a voice spoke and Alex raised both of his hands up immediately and turned around.

A boy around his age was sitting on the ground, Alex knew he wasn\'t there earlier so he looked around to find out where he came from.

The boy in front of him was unkept, he wore rags as clothes, but he was handsome and his hair were ridiculously long, longer than all the girls Alex had seen.

"Where am I, and who are you?" Alex asked.

"You are inside your mind, and I\'m the sixth Elder God" the boy said with a smile on his face.
