Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 55

"You... are not a level three player, are you?" Eren asked while stuttering.

"Of course, I am not." Zach smirked and said, "There is no way a level three player can enter the first realm, dumbass."

"This is what happens when you don’t go to school," Zach added.

"I was the topper in my university!" Eren yelled out loud.

’Well, he didn’t get my joke...’ Zach sighed and stood up. He crushed Eren’s other hand under his feet and said, "If a dumbass like you can top the university, then this world is doomed."

"No... stop!" Eren shouted. "Don’t kill me! I will give you anything you want!"

"I am old enough to get my own things," Zach snorted as he passed another joke.

But it failed too.

"I will change, I promise! I won’t kill anyone again!" Eren begged for his life. "So please, give me one more chance to atone for my sins!"

"You can atone in hell, bitch!" Zach raised his leg to kick Eren on the face.

"Your name tag will turn red if you kill me!" Eren was trying his best to convince Zach not to kill him.

"So?"

"Everyone will know you killed a player."

"So?"

"Everyone will hate you!"

"So?"

Eren was giving reasons to Zach to not kill him, but Zach was an S-hole, as he once claimed.

"No one will allow you to join their party!"

"So?"

Zach didn’t care about any of that. In fact, he would have preferred to be ignored by others.

"How did you feel when you looked at my tag for the first time?" Eren asked desperately. "That’s exactly how everyone else would feel when they look at you."

Zach removed his feet from Eren’s hand and backed off.

’Heh! What an idiot!’ Eren smirked inwardly and tried to climb up the bridge.

’I will kill him as soon as I see an opening.’ Eren was about to climb up the bridge.

Eren thought he fooled Zach, but it was the other way around. Just when Eren had almost climbed up, Zach landed a perfect free kick on Eren’s face.

"And that’s a goal!" Zach yelled as he watched Eren’s body fall down the bridge.

"Nooooooo!" Eren’s body was incinerated the moment it fell into the river of the hot lava.

"Only if people could change that easily..." Zach muttered in a solemn voice.

Zach looked at his name tag and waited for it to turn red, but nothing happened even after 3 minutes of waiting.

"I look like an idiot standing and waiting in the middle of the bridge for three straight minutes." Zach walked to the other side of the bridge and stood in front of the enormous door.

"Now then... Why didn’t my name tag turn red? Is that guy still alive?" Zach asked himself. "But I saw his body turning into ashes."

Zach placed his hand on the chin and muttered, "Could it be that the game didn’t register me for the cause of Eren’s death?"

That was indeed the case.

If player A pushed player B off the bridge, hill, or any high places, and player B died, the cause of the death would be by falling.

Even when player A pushed player B, player B didn’t die by player A’s push, they died from falling.

However, if player A killed player B before pushing them, player A would be considered as a cause of death. Similarly, if player B died by player A’s magic spell or trap, then player A would be considered as a cause of death.

"What a broken loophole..." Zach muttered. "Although, I don’t think many players know about it. If they did, they would surely plan a way to kill other players and abuse this loophole."

"And there is an incentive to kill players too..." Zach added.

Players could level up fast without working hard by killing other players. If players got to know about it, they would cause mayhem.

"However, sooner or later, everyone would know about all the secrets."

"Well," Zach sneered and added, "As long as they don’t mess with me, I won’t mess with them."

Zach watched the door and touched it.

"So.. is this supposed to open, or is there something I have to do to open it?" Zach asked himself.

Zach inspected the door and found some inscriptions written on it.

"What language is this?" It was a foreign language, and Zach couldn’t recognize it.

’I have been taught almost all the languages that ever existed. Although, I am still learning the alien languages.’

Zach tried his best to decipher the words, but he didn’t make any progress.

"There is no way I am going back after coming this far."

It was only an hour-long walk, though.

"It does look similar to the celestial language, but I can’t call out the words...wait, are they purposely in the wrong order?"

Zach was in utter disbelief. He wasn’t a fan of games, to begin with, but Kayden and Shay were.

While he became friends with Shay a year ago, Kayden was his best friend. So he would often invite Zach to his house.

Zach was mostly free, so he would go to Kayden’s house and watch him play consoles and pc games.

Kayden loved open-world role-playing games, and Zach enjoyed watching them; it was like a movie for him. However, Zach would hate when the games forced the player to solve the puzzles for no reason. And currently, Zach was in the same situation.

"Freaking gods..." Zach muttered in frustration.

Zach rearranged the words and tried to read them: "Thou who dares to challenge, must enter the gods and look upon their monsters— what the—! That sounds so wrong."

Zach rearranged the words again and read them: "Thou who dares to enter, must look upon the gods; for thou who challenge the monster inside, must only be saved with the help of the gods’ grace."

As soon as Zach finished reading, the door rumbled and slowly opened.

After seeing the door open, the boss’ music from games started playing in Zach’s mind.

Zach entered the room, and the first thing he saw before the monster was its huge HP bar.
