Chapter 59: A Strange Incident *Knock knock* I knocked on the door. "Coming!" Fielda's voice rang out and the door opened. "Glad you're back. Who's the girl?" she asked, glancing at the person on my back. "Long story." I replied, carrying the girl upstairs and onto my bed. Roy and Afrodita walked in after me, looking quite tired. Fielda hugged Afrodita and rejoiced. "You're safe!" tears leaked from Fielda's eyes. Afrodita hugged her tightly and stayed quiet. "Ivan, wake up." I shook the girl on my bed. "Wake up..." someone said. My eyes opened and I sat up, panting. "I just got a nightmare." I said, looking at Alexis. Strangely, she seemed taller and my voice wasn't mine. "What the......" I looked over myself. Long black hair laid on my shoulder untidily and my chest seemed to be inflated. "That wasn't a dream. It was real." Roy walked into the room. "Somehow, that weird green ray turned you into a girl." Alexis dropped a bombshell. I leapt off the bed and ran into the bathroom for the mirror. I gasped. My face was that of a girl's! I sank to the floor, stunned. Daniel walked into the room and looked at me. "Who's the girl?" he asked. "Ivan." Alexis replied. His jaw dropped and he gazed at me. "But...how!?" he stuttered. I picked at my food. Fielda had fainted after Daniel broke the news to her and all the others were staring at me. "I can't eat like this!" I protested and walked upstairs to the balcony. Alexis followed me up and sat down beside me. "Go away." I muttered and turned away. "Ivan......" she mumbled and turned me towards her. I buried my head in her arms and started to cry. "Now, now..." she patted me on the back. "Kyuu!" Fluffy squeaked. After a while, I cleared my head and asked, "What happened to you? Weren't you also hit by the ray?" She replied, "Yeah, my chest grew slightly larger, but it's not much of a problem." I poked my chest tentatively and sighed. That day, I went to take a walk at Kerning City. As I turned into a dark alley absent-mindedly, a few men approached me. "Hey girly girl, wanna have some fun?" one of them asked gleefully. I ignored them and continued walking, thinking about my future. "Not so fast." the guy said and his buddies suddenly formed a circle around me. I stopped walking and whispered, "Archaeion, come to me." "Did you just scold me? Get her!" the guy yelled and his buddies charged. I dispatched one of them with a spinning kick and gave another a punch in the chin. He howled in pain and stepped backwards onto another guy's foot. That guy then clutched his foot and hopped around in pain. I continued walking. Why hadn't the Archaeion come to me? While I was asking myself that, big arms closed around me from the shadows and a giant of a Bandit stepped out of Dark Sight. "Look who just waltzed into my arms." the Bandit said gleefully. I primed my foot and kicked him in the groin. He let out a bloodcurdling scream and released me. I landed a few punches on him and a kick and walked away, leaving his buddies staring at their boss and me. "How'd a girl like that beat up the likes of the boss?" one of them thought aloud. "Ouch." another said. A tombstone fell out of the sky and landed on the Bandit, who reappeared in ghost form. "You gotta be kidding me." his jaw dropped and he disappeared. A few minutes later, he reappeared in front of me. "I'll teach you to beat me up like that!" he yelled and brandished his dagger. I yelled, "Archaeion! Come to me!" The Archaeion materialized in my hand and the guy's eyes widened. "How can a level 47 Huntress use a Dragon Shinebow!? Hacker!" he shouted. I kept quiet and nocked a soul arrow to the string. "Hellfire." I said calmly and released the arrow. It burst into flames and pierced through the guy's head. Again, a tombstone fell from the sky and he reappeared in ghost form. "Twice in a row!? No way! I'm gettin' my guild!" he shouted and disappeared. When would they ever learn...... A moment later, a group of over 30 people were glaring at me. "You're telling me that girl just beat the crap out of Romeo?" someone asked. I put my hand to my back for the arrows in my quiver. "That's what he said. Wanna kick her butt?" another person replied. "Hell yeah! Perfect timing for Maple to install a PvP function!" someone shouted. I began focusing my mana into the arrow. "Let's get her! Charge!" the Bandit yelled and the whole group charged straight for me. I muttered, "Dragon Pulse." and launched the arrow. Mana around it assumed the shape of a dragon's head and plowed through the group, which was happily standing in a straight line. Tombstones fell, some were amazed and some yelled, "Hacker!". I kept quiet and activated Soul Arrow. "Hurricane." I whispered and let go. Arrows pierced through the remaining people that hadn't died from my earlier Dragon Pulse and it began raining tombstones. "Whoa! Did you see the damage numbers!?" "Yeah! 3k per arrow! ZOMG! LET'S GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!" "SOMEONE REPORT THE HAX0R!" I ignored their shouts and continued on my way. "I heard a rumour some girl just kicked Firana guild's @sses." I heard someone say as I made my way through the crowded sewer entrances. "I wan pq." "Cleric looking for pq!" "Any warrior wan pq?" Such were the shouts in the area. A party disappeared and some people groaned. "They went in again......" someone said. I pushed my way through the crowd towards the taxi. Suddenly, a message popped up in mid air in front of me. "A guild invitation from Angel4evar." it read, accompanied by a quick message, "A good hacker shouldn't be left to waste." I ignored it and continued walking. The message popped up repeatedly until I got annoyed and pressed an X in the corner. I rounded a corner into another dark alley. Again, the guild invitation popped up. I declined again and took a scroll from my bag. When I tried to rip it apart, it disappeared and a Hermit appeared beside me. "So you're the hacker that ripped the Firana guild to pieces." he breathed. I kept quiet and prepared to summon the Archaeion. "How will you feel when I take your account? Hehehehe..." he muttered and grabbed my hand. A small snake of green stuff appeared out of his hand and curled around my wrist. Suddenly, he disappeared. "Whaddya mean keylogger busted!? Raaah!!!" someone yelled in a house somewhere on earth. After meeting countless idiots who either wanted to rape me or steal my "account" I decided to go home. I left those that wanted to rape me hovering in the air in ghost form and those that wanted to steal my "account" disappeared into thin air. |
