NOVEL NEXT Cycle 28 (8)
Dear Diary,
The players got here a couple days ago. They seem to be getting through the floors below us ok, so everything must be back to normal. Someone I don’t think I’ve seen before complained about the kobolds, but another player told her that the kobolds were always this hard to beat, so I’m pretty sure they aren’t using magic any more.
Which is good, because the Admin might get upset if they did.
Anyways, Ox’s group got here. Meaning the player we stole from got here. He… Well, they got here late in the day. So they decided to not bother trying to get through the next floors until they’d had a good night’s rest.
The player who doesn’t like us, Tig, got kinda tipsy. I probably shouldn’t have let him have that much alcohol, but whatever. He started ranting about how we’re not players, so they should kill us. He pulled out a crossbow and shot me.
It did… basically nothing. It stung a little, but it felt like I got bit by a mosquito more than anything.
There were two groups in the diner at that moment. Six people. They saw me brush off the bolt, and were kinda shocked. I guess when I was hit they got to see my HP bar.
Well, I should explain that HP doesn’t go up as someone levels up. Each race has a set number of hit points, and that’s that. What happens is, things do less damage. So when the crossbow bolt hit me, it only did like half a point of damage.
Anyways, the players wondered if maybe I was immortal or something, and started attacking me. It scared me, so I teleported to Aya’s shop. I told her what was happening, why I was freaked out. When the players got to her shop, she electrocuted them all. One hit was all it took to kill them.
So, well, one thing led to another, and it turned into a full-on battle. There were ten players in total involved, against the six of us. Lilly and Mika are the only ones without teleport spells, and Mika’s shop has a lot of weapons, so we teleported there and barricaded ourselves. We just kept killing them on sight. It was kinda really easy.
Anyways, the Admin noticed pretty fast. I mean, it probably took an hour, but that’s fast for the Admin. He told the players to cut it out, and respawned us in our shops. They were like “but aren’t we supposed to attack them?” and he was like “no!! Stop it!” which was pretty cool.
So yeah, that happened. Via was kinda freaked out about being shot with a crossbow, but the player who hit her apologized. Lilly and Mika thought it was funny. Kimi wants to fight again, while Aya and I just wonder how strong we are compared to the players. It must be by a lot.
I might ask someone someday. But not right now.
Goodnight, Dungeon!
