The Red Player

"DON'T! YOU! DARE! INSULT! HER!"

'Thud!'

I look at him as I take in heavy breaths. I look at his bleeding lifeless body on the floor near the table and then immediately his body disintegrates.

'System: 35892 Exp gained.'

'System: Judgement'

'System: Lawrence Soul has killed a player in a sanctuary city. Judgement is to be decided...'

'System: Lawrence Soul has violated a rule of a sanctuary city and has killed a player without a PVP Permit, Red Player Execution Permit or Vengeance Permit...

'System: Judgement is decided. For the next seventy-two hours Lawrence Soul will be declared as a Red Player even if logged out. Executioner will be rewarded all Experience points of Lawrence Soul and a reward of 10,000 gold will be awarded.'

'System: Red player execution permit of Lawrence Soul has been declared to all guilds and players in a 30Km Radius.'

'System: New Mission, stay alive for the next Seventy-Two Hours. Failure will result in Permanent Deletion of Avatar. Good luck Lawrence Soul.'

Shit!

I look around as everyone looks at me. I immediately pull out the tag and tear it and was teleported out of the pub and into my room.

I look around and grab the scrolls and books putting them in the bag and then the money... Quora...

I immediately hear some footsteps and it sounds like there are a few. I quickly chant my spell and send part of my shadow outside morph it into an eye and look outside of my room... wait they are all from the Honey Batch guild! Shit!

'BOOM!'

"Are you fucking kidding me!"

I shout through the automatic shield that came up.

"Yo Lawrence sorry about the mess Bro."

One of them tell behind the exploded door.

"Are you guys really planning to kill me."

"Well, you are a red player so..."

Shit an Ice spell.

I immediately jump out of the room's balcony using an air spell to cushion my fall and run into the busy sandy streets as they follow me. Why? Why are they here? They live in the other side of the city. How the hell did they get here so quickly?

As I run, I notice an odd shadow on the ground and look up. What the fuck! When did he get wings!

I cancel my shadow eye and immediately rush into an alley... I should have kept running straight.

"Stop Lawrence you have nowhere to run."

"Fuck you!"

I look up and see him flying around and then look at the back. One of them right in front of me blocking my exit and two in the back.

"Give up Lawrence, we will kill you. Also, we are in hurry. The war is starting soon."

"Wait what war?"

He looks at me chuckling as if he just realized something.

"Right, I forgot. You're from the gods assassin's guild."

Tsk. I can only use my magic defense ring two more times and the only thing I can use as defense is my dagger

I slowly take out my dagger which made them pull out their swords smiling as if they think they have the upper hand.
