Soul Fusion Onlinechapter 38.1: player killing part 1

While Yuki was causing uproars with her new items, Trisha was sitting in a private room at a 10 star restaurant. She sat there slowly eating her food in a dignified way while the old woman across from her watching her every move. "I see you have kept up your practice, good. While you hold the title of Princess and are of Evergreen blood, remember this is only on the surface. You may only request help if it involves the Evergreen name. Besides that, we will only give you the allotted amount of 10,000 crowns each month. With this you must pay your rent and food expenses. What you do with the money after that is fine. From the reports you have handed me, everything seems to match up as always. Now Trisha, remember that you must always uphold the Evergreen name and standards that come with it if you wish to continue as you are. If you do not, you will be removed from the Evergreen family line and will be forced to provide for yourself, and I am sure you do not have the means to do so as of now. Unless you wish to sell your body, that is."

The old woman smirked as she stood up and picked up the documents and her purse. "Remember what I said. The meal is on me, so order what you like."

Trisha waited for the old woman to leave before putting her fork down and looking at the plate in front of her. Drops of tears rolled down her cheeks, onto her chin until finally breaking free and falling onto her plate. She never hated her life as much as she did now. She was stuck under this curse of being the unwanted princess. She never asked for any of this. She never asked to be born as an Evergreen or for her mother to be a maid. She never asked for her genetics to not be good enough for the Evergreen family line. But each of these things was a stain on her life. There was nothing she hated more than how she was forced to live as she was at this time.

Wiping her tears, Trisha did not even touch the food on her plate as she got up and left the restaurant. The night was bright, with the lights of the city lighting the way. She quickly called a cab and headed home. Her only salvation and escape from this horrible world was waiting for her at home.

As soon as Trisha logged into the game, she messaged Yuki right away. "Ryu, where are you?"

"Near the marketplace heading towards the inn where we logged off. Wait for me there." Yuki answered as she picked up her pace.

When she entered the inn, Yuki saw Chi running towards her, and before she could react, she was embraced. "Chi?"

"Just let me hug you for a while, please… I have had a bad evening." Chi said softly as she hugged Yuki tighter.

Yuki sighed and moved Chi with her as she moved to the side, so they were not standing at the entrance of the inn. She stood there and scratched between Chi's ears to help calm her nerves. Only after a few minutes did Yuki see Chi's tail begin to wag. "Feeling better?"

"Mmm… Thank you, Ryu. If not for you being here waiting for me, I would have been very lonely tonight." Chi said as she looked up at Ryu's handsome face, with a smile on her face. She was still hugging Ryu tightly, not wanting to let go.

Yuki sighed and scratched Chi's ears a bit more, causing Chi to giggle. "Ryu, you are the best. Thank you!" Chi smiled brightly as she finally let go of Yuki. "So, what are we doing now?"

"Well… I am level 6 now, and you got to level 3. We should finish up the last of our quests and then head north. I want to take a peek at what level Droggers are. If they are around level 8, we can try killing one." Yuki wanted to finally finish her quest so she can take on the next task.

What the two did not expect was that there was a group of people watching them from afar and tailing them as they left the village. "Blade, are they our new targets?"

"Yeah, I have seen them around the past few days. By the look of their gear, they should have some good stuff in their inventory." The person called Blade answered.

"Hehe, to think after all the games we have played, this game came out that lets you kill people and take their items. Most restrict you to a few items at most, but in this game, everything drops. It is our Rogue Nation guild's dream come true. How many people have we killed over the years, and some of which I know left the game." A wolf man let out a laugh.

"KillerT, you have a sick habit of spawn camping people. You make it, so they have no choice but to quit the game or delete and remake their character." Blade said with a chuckle. "Anyway, let's get going, take five of our men and flank right. I will go left. When I start the attack, rush in."

"Got it!" KillerT quickly pulled his men and ran off to get into position.

Yuki and Chi had no clue they were being plotted against. They were currently standing in front of a group of Tiger Deer. A meat eating deer with sharp fangs and black stripes covering their brownish grey fur. "We need 5 deer antlers and 6 deer meat."

"They are too grouped together. If we get too close, we will end up pulling all of them. What should we do?" Chi frowned. The Tiger Deer were clustered in a group of ten and were so close that if they tried to pull one, they would pull all ten at once, which would easily get them killed.

"I can try throwing a rock at them?" Yuki said while scratching her head until she realized something. "One second maybe if I choose this..."

After opening her skill window, Yuki looked through the skill trees until she reached the Soul Wielder class. "Maybe this one..."

[Inferior Soul Bolt]

[Shoot a bolt of soul energy at the target dealing 30 to 50 damage.]

[Mana Cost 12]

"Okay, I will go with this. Chi, I took a ranged spell so we can pull from a distance. If I pull too many, just run." Yuki was about to get ready to cast her new spell when she caught something out of the corner of her eye. "Wait! Chi, get behind me!"

Chi was confused but quickly did as she was told. She stood behind Yuki and saw a man with his sword drawn running right towards them. Yuki frowned, seeing the man charging at them. She had been so caught up in easy mode that she forgot this game was rather blood thirsty. "Chi, if you get killed, do not come back. Stay in town. I will either die too, or kill them before returning to town."

"Oh? To think you two were such a beautiful couple. Too bad you two are going to die today. Well maybe I will keep the girl alive and play with her a bit before she dies. Hahaha!" Blade gave an evil smile as he swung his sword at Yuki.

*Clang!*
