YM778.TV Chapter 89: [Rift!]
Grade: S
Status: Bound to the Owner!
Effect: A One time Effect that would resurrect the User\'s Body 10 minutes back in time!
Activation Condition: Death!]
[The Ring of Resurrection is activating!]
It was an artifact that I got after completing that dungeon in the first tutorial. An artifact that allowed me to jump in dangerous situations and take risks at places where I needed to bet my life on. I wanted to keep it on as long as possible. But I guess...
[Sending the User\'s body 10 minutes back in time!]
My eyes opened up as I saw Annabeth explaining about the 7 Heroes. She was going on a bit of a detail, but there was no time to waste.
[Annabeth! Immediately take Crowley to 3. Hurry up or everyone in the tutorial will die! Hurry up fast!]
I sent a message to Annebth, making her pause as she looked at the message. Reading it in a single second, she then was taken aback. A bit alarmed, she looked at me before observing the message again.
"What happened?"
Even though my mind was in a mess because of what was about to happen, I acted as if I didn\'t know anything.
Though, I definitely needed to find the source of the problem. Sure, getting out of the tutorial was a solution too, but I didn\'t want to risk the rewards that were going to define most of my and my friend\'s future.
"An emergency," Annabeth spoke as she held my hand before taking out a strange artifact from her bag. It was a ball shaped artifact with a purple hue, and activating it, the area around me began shining purple, until the scenery changed in a flash.
"..."
I slowly opened up my eyes as my vision adjusted to it. And what I saw was that we were in a never ending grassland under the open blue sky. The scene of the mountains in the distance, with the wind brushing against my face gave off a nice feeling, but I couldn\'t concentrate on it.
"JUST WHAT ARE THESE?!! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! DIE! DIE!
DIE!" That guy, Hiradale, whom Annabeth called 3, was panicking as he was frantically attacking some black monsters that were coming out of a crack through space.
"Huh? Who are you guys? No! Scratch that! Help us! We need to close that rift before the entire tutorial Collapses!" A bulky ripped man, who was dozens of meters tall, spoke as he chanted some weird spells at that rift.
The slowly expanding rift paused from increasing any further, but those monsters were still coming out of there. That guy, Hiradale. His attacks weren\'t working at all, in fact they were getting absorbed by those beings, increasing their powers instead.
-WHOOSH!!!
-BOOOM!!!!
And then Annabeth moved, punching those monsters as hard as she could blasting those monsters in pieces. She didn\'t need much instructions as she understood what she needed to do here.
"11! You are here?!!!" Hiradale relaxed a bit, though then his eyes looked at Annabeth\'s hand that started to rot immediately. Annabeth looked at her hands with a narrowed gaze before I wondered what I should do.
[Accelerated Analysis!]
Let\'s see. Beings that are not from the tower. Their power is to corrupt and eat the tower\'s power? Something that corrodes the players and eats away everything that the tower has. Even the areas where they stepped, the place was corrupted giving a rotten stench.
So the answer to this is...
[You have used the Skill: Debug on your contractee Annabeth Percy Milliam!]
Annabeth must have seen the notification, as her eyes widened for a moment, before her hand began healing. A wide smile appeared on her face as she looked at those monsters without fear now.
Even that bulky man and Hiradale were surprised to see her arms healing like that. Though I was much happier than all of them.
[You have purified the traces of a foreign entity: The Viruses!]
[You have received 50,000 GM Points!]
-WHOOSH!
-BOOM!!!
-WHOOSH!!!
-BOOOM! X 3
[Skill: Debug!]
[You have purified a foreign entity: The Virus!]
[+1 Million GM Points!]
\'Should I let them keep the portal open forever or something? It\'s an unlimited GM Points glitch,\' I laughed on the inside as I kept in track of Annabeth who was killing all those entities one by one.
But then I saw the cracks of the rift widening, slowly chipping away the tutorial. I wondered for a moment before I sighed. Too much greed would end up getting me killed here. This time for real.
"Hold on for a few more seconds!" I spoke as I took a sprinting stance, preparing to dash with all my might. My words caught the attention of the duo who were standing and observing the situation.
[Kinetic Mastery!]
Gravity Adjusted.
Momentum Adjusted.
Muscle movements maximized.
Changing the inertia a bit
-Whoosh!
I ran way, way faster than what others could have predicted. Even Annabeth, who had seen me \'fighting\' against her, was shocked to see me move that fast. Added with the fact that monsters were still in between, and I was crisscrossing around them, made them stupefied a bit.
Reaching the front of the rift gate within moments, I saw those monsters pouring out, almost reaching me. Though, I simply looked at them with a sigh as I raised my hand forward and
[Skill Debug!]
[You have purified a foreign entity: The Virus!]
[+2 Million GM Points Received!]
[You have purified a foreign entity: The Virus!]
[You have purified a foreign...!]
[You have...]
100s of messages appeared as the monsters kept pouring out of that rift, coming at my hand, before getting erased completely. Honestly, it was raining points all over...
[Noticing that User Has found a Rift in the tower! The Rift would consume the entire Tutorial area, harming the host and the tower itself! Advicing the user to close the rift by using the Skill: Debug!]
\'Should I wait and let the points come?\' I thought but then I saw that the cracks were rapidly increasing. Is that bulky guy losing energy? Well... whatever...
[Skill: Debug!]
[Activating the Hidden feature of the Debug: Virus Protection: Firewall Creation!]
[Activating the Hidden feature of the Debug: Virus Protection: Antivirus creation!]
White balls were created all around the area, as I observed the entire surrounding. All those monsters which were spreading out, escaping out of reach, vanished as soon as they touched those white balls.
As for the rift itself, a literal burning wall of fire appeared protecting the area by stopping the monsters from entering here.
\'The rift isn\'t closing though?\' I thought as I saw the cracks were still spreading throughout the area. If nothing was done, everything would break just like last time.
[Required Amount of GM Points Reached! The GM Points will be used to close the Rift!]
\'Excuse me?\'
My eyes widened as I saw all my precious GM Points being chipped off in an instant as they reached zero. I wanted to shout \'NO!!!\' But given the position I was in, I needed to keep concentrating at the rift or else the skill might break.
While it wasn\'t taking any physical efforts, mentally it was taxing. I can feel a strain in my ability to think as I saw that the rift was slowly healing from the corner. The pain increased the more I used that skill... and before I knew it...
[Accelerated Analysis!]
"AAAAAAA!!!!!!" I began shouting as much as I could as I focused on closing that rift. Time passed rather slowly, until everything around me turned white... I wonder if I was successful?
It was blank.
Everything was blank.
In an empty state of mind, I felt like floating in air. And then slowly my body was falling on the ground, as I regained a bit of my sensation.
"Who is he?"
"The guy I was tasked to find."
So loud. It hurts my ears.
"I am not asking that. How was he able to close that rift? And what is wrong with your powers? You seem... strange."
"Wanna see something cooler?"
"Huh? Is that mana?! Didn\'t your [Gift] make it impossible for you to use Mana?"
"Hehehe. It\'s not mana but something far more better. Origin Energy!"
"Origin... Energy... what\'s that?"
Can you guys stop talking? I want to sleep much longer. Damn this hurts! I was earning so many GM points.
"I don\'t know. I only know because of my skills and stuff. Seems like powerful stuff."
"But how did you even get it?"
My GM points... My GM Points... My GM... Points?
"NOOOOOO!!!!!" I shouted as I woke up, finding myself in the same grassland as before. My eyes looked at everything around me. There were the two bickering players, Annabeth and Hiradale. Then there was that bulky guy who was observing me with a deep look. I could see fear and anxiety in his eyes.
Other than them, there were two more people standing there. A young man dressed in golden white, and a beautiful woman wearing a black dress. They seemed strangely powerful, like not in a way of strength, but it\'s as if their existence was a bit different than the others.
As I shouted, everyone\'s eyes were fixated at me, while I blankly stared back at them.
"Good morning, Kid. Good job on the rift," Annabeth gave me a thumbs up before that bulky man appeared closer to me as he spoke,
"Excuse me. I am the Administrator of the Tutorials. If I may be polite, then can I ask you, who you are, Sir?"
Though I couldn\'t exactly answer him. And that was because of a System Message in front of me that caught my eyes.
[You have prevented an issue that could threaten the existence of the Tower! Because of the excessive energy that the Game Master System collected! It has gone through a Minor Update!]
[All the Privileges of the Game Master System have been revised and updated!]
