The three were going deeply in that forest, killing those peaceful animals on the way, they were almost level 5 now, also talking to Kyungsoo, and trying to know more about him, the guy wasn’t much relaxed but he manage to answer every question. 

He was from the same city, but way more up then the two, he was rich, and home studying because of his conditions, as long as his fine with talking to them, he refuse any skinship. that end up making Sehun apologize for touching him before.

feeling bad for him, that his state make him doesn’t have any friends Sehun promised to come everyday and meet him till they finish the game. Chanyeol in the other hand couldn’t promise because he told him he just playing today because of his friend requesting and pleading, but he did promise that if he want to meet in real he can gladly do that.

D.O find it fun for the first time to be around people, his brain did accept the two, maybe he know it virtual yes, but maybe he will feel comfortable after when thy meet in real! his doctor was right, the game will help him for sure. 

“And am now level 5!” Chanyeol said looking at his arm seeing his level and 

“Wow! You level up more fast Am still at 4” Sehun pouted looking at D.O arm “him too!”

“M..maybe..Knight are faster?” D.O asked and the two shrugs not knowing exactly the answer

Luhan: yes it is! Knight can level up faster power up their gear and everything more like they are the game heroes, they are more OP!

“Op?” Chanyeol asked

Luhan: over powered

He nodded understanding

While Luhan was explaining D.O stopped in his track, gaining Sehun intentions “you good?”

D.O lean his head to a side “Am sure I saw this rock before!”

Chanyeol, “what do you mean?”

“It virtual” Sehun said “they can have the same things all over the place you know!”

The two nodded understanding but Chanyeol take his sword and slashed a tree “this way we know if we pass here again!” He said smiling to D.O who felt happy by the action coming from their knight “thanks Chanyeol!”

Sehun put his arm on Chanyeol “stop killing and wait for us to level up to go in game at the same level will you?”

Chanyeol, “sure!”

The two other start again killing animals, but for their surprise they pass that same tree cut by Chanyeol before, standing in front of it. Sehun asked “Luhan!”

Luhan: out of my league 

Knowing that Luhan can’t say anything considering the game, they look at each other, Sehun was the first to talk, “two things, we are in a trap, or the forest next the city is a limited place?”

“I..I think!” D.O said opening his item list and to be specific his map “we are in a trap! the map disappeared from my item”

The two check their own map and indeed it wasn’t available anymore.

Sehun huffs “well, I guess then we are moving in a circle!”

“Let try to find a way back to the city!” Chanyeol “stay aware I don’t like this!” 

Leaving marks in every tree they passed, they end up coming and going at the same place, even when they decide to go every one each way they end up coming back in the first point they start with.

“Okay I start to get angry now!” Sehun said in anger sitting in the ground, “same everything!”

“Already giving up! Sehun you won’t make it to the next stage!” Chanyeol teased

D.O nodded also agreeing with Chanyeol “we need to figure this out!”

“I know! Just let me complain!” Sehun stand back, he take his book and look at it “no spell in my level it can help! I have health, stun, damage” 

D.O, “am sure my armor or axe won’t do good either!”

Chanyeol look around, it weird how they just got trapped in a place with no reason! A game should have reason, “What classes left?”

Luhan: too many!

Chanyeol, “there is anyone using magic tricks”

Luhan: yes the illusionist

Sehun look at Chanyeol with a shocking face “don’t tell me someone is behind this!”

Chanyeol, “Luhan said it! if you are level 5 everyone else is your enemy! the place here is peaceful, we didn’t get attacked till we got to level 5 and am sure no pig or rabbit can do this! so someone did it”

“And how can we...Aaugh!” before D.O finish his sentence he scream in pain and fall in the ground

“D.O!” Sehun wanted to get near but the same happened to him, leaving Chanyeol the only one standing “what the hell i feel like a bullet hit me! Daaamn feels real!” Sehun screamed in anger and pain seeing his arm and his health bar was lowering little by little 

Chanyeol take his sword and stand close to the two screaming “D.O use your armor”

D.O take his hand armor and smashed it on the ground with a loud thud! gaining a yellow shield around the three

Feeling good now Sehun stand and take his book start healing their tank first making his health bar full, but the mana bar was reducing little by little, “this is not good!”

Chanyeol frown but the armor was having hit from a direction, again and again, who ever there was trying to break through.

Chanyeol look at his equipment, he take a quick glance at his sword skills and smirked, “when I say stop you put down your shield D.O”

D.O, “what? No we will get hit again”

“Trust me” Chanyeol said and D.O couldn’t say more he just waited the signal, but with the waiting they saw Chanyeol sword glowing in red “Sehun your stun spell”

“Am all ready!” Sehun said with a smirk already waiting the signal

Chanyeol saw the hit coming again from the same direction, which means he didn’t change the place “STOP!” 

With that D.O take his shield off, and Chanyeol swing his sword as fast as he can that a red light went from the sword to a direction, and out of nowhere a boy had been thrown on the ground.

“There you are!” Sehun said smirking and the boy wanted to move but he couldn’t “don’t bother to”

Chanyeol went to him pointing his sword on his neck “give me one reason I shouldn’t kill you here and gain some point to level up!”

The boy clenched his fist in anger “damn you!”

“Are you the illusionist?” D.O asked 

“No!” Chanyeol look at the guns near the boy on the ground “where is your friend?”

The boy look around like he is searching for someone, but his eyes didn’t find who he was searching for. “Damn her!” he said gritting his teeth

“She left you?” Sehun said mocking with a laugh at the end of his sentence, “man you lost for sure! Just finish him Chanyeol better level up”

But Chanyeol didn’t, he look at the boy who felt betrayed from who ever was his partner, his sword disappeared “have fun playing” he said and turn around to leave since he now can clearly not be in circle anymore.

Sehun and D.O look at Chanyeol surprised “okay!” They said shrugging then move behind him.

“Chanyeol! You are a gifted player!” Sehun admit its since he do play a lot!

“Just beginners luck” Chanyeol explain, “you two are in...” but Chanyeol stopped his sentence when he look behind him, “what?” He said and the two turn around to see that boy is tailing them

The boy move next to them clear his throat “ehm...can I join you?”

“WHAT!” the three scream in shock

“No!” Sehun said

Luhan: I see guns then his a marksman.

“Still no!” Sehun replied 

“I got kicked by my teammate just when I fall!” The boy explain “I don’t want a teammates like those”

Chanyeol raise his eyebrow thinking that at least the boy didn’t care if he is a knight and his reasons were good teammates!

“No!no!no” Sehun insisted 

“I promise I won’t be a burden!” The boy said “I can help am a good player” the boy said showing his items to them, for the three surprise his map was bigger, and he have so many equipments and clothes “I can share!”

D.O look at the item set “guys look!” He pointed to a place in his map with ‘level 5 boss’ 

The boy smirk “I was about to die going in there, the gains are insane if you killed the boss and it give a rare item for each in the team, I run away before I got killed with 1% Hp”

Chanyeol look at Sehun “Sehun’aah!”

Sehun eyes he got wide open “Don’t tell me!” He know what Chanyeol wanted “I hate you”

Chanyeol smiled knowing his friend will accept his choice, “what your name?” 

“Am Kai!” The big said with a smile when he saw Chanyeol opening his item list and searching for his name and sending a group request 

“Thank you” he bow “I won’t disappoint you”

Luhan : congratulations, you earn a trust trophy

“What?” Sehun said shocked “trophy?”

Luhan: yes! making an enemy as friend you earn the trust trophy

“Why the use?” Chanyeol asked

Luhan: a trophy can be exchanged in money, equipment, clothes, and different things you may go to the shop back in the city and choose whatever you want that coast as much as the trophy coast

Sehun smiled “the hell why so lucky Chanyeol!”

Chanyeol laughed awkwardly “beginners luck?”

“Beginner?” Kai said shocked 

“Yeah!”

“Well we miss people as you in games tho!” Kai huffs, “Am a marksman am in level 8 you guys?” 

“We still in level 5!” Sehun explain “but why you didn’t start the game yet? No teammates?”

Kai nodded “we decide to get the boss, we barely made it out and the tank left, and I stayed with the illusionist, but even so I needed a rest or one hit from a peaceful animal could kill me for sure“

“You know they are peaceful they can’t attack!” D.O finally spoke

Kai laugh “well that why am level 8! Since I was waiting my health bar to become full I killed peaceful monsters to wait the time”

Sehun frown “let not waist more time! we go to the city we sell the trophy and buy something useful and start the game”

The three couldn’t agree more 

Moving in the way to the city Sehun was taking notes in his map from Kai map, for Chanyeol surprise the two did get along faster then he thought, same age they were so Sehun felt happy more to get along, Kai was a talkative guy, he seems as a traitor from his facial expressions a guy that could step you in the back for no reason!, but his motives are innocent, if he was saying the truth, still what to lose, if anything bad happen he can just kick him right?

Seeing the city is near, Chanyeol felt the heat of the son getting lower, it must be sunset in the game now, “what time is it Luhan?” 

But no answer

“Luhan?” Chanyeol called again

No answer 

“He doesn’t answer you?” D.O asked while walking next to him 

“Maybe he went somewhere!” Chanyeol said still looking at the red sky but his intentions went from the sky to a tree, from a tree to a boy who was sitting there, peacefully also looking at the sky, a boy that he, for his personal taste, he could mistake him with an angel.
