There was only a gap of 5 meters between Ryder and the profound bears that were chasing after him.
Ryder could feel the grim reaper coming after him as he tried his best to run away.
He was finally out of the territory of the 2nd level beasts and hoped that they wouldn't chase after him, but they didn't stop and kept chasing him.
Ryder was getting tired, but he didn't stop. He had managed to run to the edge of the beast valley.
The players that were fighting the level 1 monsters had finally managed to win their battle, and we're resting on the ground when they noticed a person running towards them.
"Hey, look at that guy. Isn't he the same person that went inside the valley to suicide? Why is he running here? "
" Might be too scared of the level two beasts. "
" Maybe he decided to listen to our advice and decided to look for another girlfriend? He must be in a hurry to thank us for our kind advice, that's why he's running. Such a nice guy."
The players talked amongst themselves with smiles on their faces, but their faces turned white instantly as soon as they saw the beasts following him.
"Uhmm... Guys? A... Are they level 2 beasts?" One of them stuttered as he saw the beasts after him.
" Run!!! " They screamed like kids as they stood up and started running away.
"He doesn't want to suicide alone! He wants us to kill us too! Run away! "
They kept screaming as they ran.
The scene turned into something quite odd.
More than 20 players were running away, and a silver-haired man was following them. He himself was being chased by 5 profound bears.
"Stop following us, you bastard! We don't want to die with you! "
" Go somewhere else! Die alone! "
" I think I can understand why your girlfriend left you! You're truly Evil! That's why god gave you a small pp."
" I don't want to die" One of the players was already crying as he ran.
Unfortunately, all 20 of them had decided to put most of their stat points in strength and defense instead of speed when making their character.
The distance between them and Ryder kept decreasing. It came to a point when Ryder was running together with them.
"Sorry guys. Blame Janus if you want to blame someone. It's all that bastard's fault." Ryder said without the least bit of shame as he continued running.
He got ahead of the 20 players in less than a few minutes. He could hear them cursing, but he shamelessly ignored their curses and continued ahead.
The profound bears stopped following Ryder and attacked the players that were closer to them.
The players had no choice but to engage in a battle with the level 2 beasts.
They were all annihilated by the beasts, but thankfully, Ryder had managed to enter the safety of the Novice Village by then.
He finally stopped as he breathed heavily.
He turned back to look outside the village.
"Sorry guys. I apologize for everything. I wish I could burn incense for you, but I'm too poor at the moment. I'll never forget your sacrifice, though. You guys are the real heroes. " He let out with a downcast look on his face.
[Mission Successful. The host has been given the skill 'All-Seer']
"Awesome." A bright smile appeared on his face as he instantly forgot about the sacrifices.
He opened his status screen, and 'All-Seer' was there.

"Yup, it's exactly the same. As expected of Janus, he does make the impossible possible."
Ryder smiled as he closed the screens and started walking towards the house of the old woman.
________________
In a dark place, A girl was floating with her eyes closed. The girl looked like she was 14-15 years old, but she didn't have an actual age as she was the A.I. that controlled the game. She was known by the citizens of Divinity as the goddess Maya.
She abruptly opened her eyes with a confused look on her face.
"Someone got the All-Seer? That's impossible." She muttered as she looked perplexed.
She made a gesture with her hand as she scanned the data to find the one who got the skill.
A screen opened in front of her that showed a boy. The boy looked like he was 23 years old. He had light blue eyes and shiny silver hair. He was walking in the novice village.
"Show me his stats," She said.
There was another screen that opened in front of her that showed Ryder's stats.
"Hades..." She muttered with a thoughtful look on her face as she saw his stats.
"A level 2 player with All-Seer?" She let out.
"Show me his activity since he joined." She muttered.
Another screen appeared nearby that started showing a video feed.
She saw him choosing his stats and entering the novice village.
He walked to the village Elder and learned the Enraged Slash.
Till now, she found nothing wrong. There was only one thing that was strange. It was that she couldn't hear what he was saying. She could hear what others were saying, but not him.
The boy got 'Enraged Slash.' He walked into the beast valley. He stole the 'Nine sun grass' and he... he ran away?
"Something is wrong, but what? Nothing about this boy makes sense. Most importantly, there is no clue about how he got the All-Seer." She saw the whole feed, but she couldn't find anything out.
"Was it a glitch? I'll just remove that skill then." She muttered as she made another gesture.
Ryder's status screen opened again.
She clicked on All-Seer. Two options appeared in front of her. Upgrade or Delete.
She tapped on delete.
[Error: Skill can't be removed]
Strangely enough, another screen opened that showed off an Error.
Her eyes opened wide in surprise as she saw the screen.
