Levels (Hiatus)

Chapter 8 - Attack

"..."

When I thought about joining the group, I did not think for a second what or how the planning process for the group was.

And now, I'm walking with the group, not knowing what we were going to do and go.

In short, I don't know what the plan is.

We have been walking for I say, ten minutes now.

In that time, I had thought about the group's dynamics and my worry about my character powers.

"I need to ask my system soon."

I had not looked at my skills or status since I passed out.

I need to get myself a better weapon and a skill that will help me.

This is a problem I will have forever if I don't do anything about it. I just have a knife. I need something better.

In thinking so, I also thought, 'I will also need to talk to my system. I need to know more about my character design.'

It was then that my thoughts were interrupted once I had come to realize that we were heading into an open space hallway.

'A mistake that will cost a life...'

Just then, The said girl named Balam stopped walking and suddenly said, "Ah! I don't think I informed you or Ari what we are doing or going huh? How silly of me."

Ari then complained, "Well you obviously did an ass job to inform us now. I mean for all I know, Cynthia and I are just mindlessly walking like zombies- no- vegetable people!"

I sigh

'Communication is key when in a group dynamic. Ari, you couldn't have said it better. A hot headed confident person indeed...'

Concentrating on the situation in front of me, I look at Balam who appeared to be angry and smiled, "would you care to explain? The plan I mean- or at least details to where we are going?"

Balam calms down and pleasantly looks at me and starts walking again. This makes the group resume their walk.

When she resumes her walk, Balam turns her back on us and continues her conversation.

"Well in this level, there is a king who we believe represents greed or gluttony in the middle of this castle. My friend here-" says Balam before she stops talking and takes out a piece of paper out of Kang-dae's backpack suddenly and continues "—Got- or found- a map pointing to a location close to where we are."

Ari then cuts off Do-yun who was about to speak and says, "Let me guess, we are heading to said place?"

Balam smiles.

Do-yun then finally speaks and says, "my love- Balam- I don't think you should be taking stuff out of kang-dae's bag~ I mean, look at his face! He's fuming!"

After Balam's boyfriend said this, we all tried to collectively look at his face. What they saw wasn't that much different from what he usually looked like.

*sigh*

'What am I doing....' I thought as I look away.

"What are you talking about you fool! He clearly doesn't care! If he did, he would tell me..." said Balam who yelled at Do-yun but looked at Kang-dae.

Do-yun then dramatically states, "Ohh no one understands you kang-dae~ I am the only one- no- don't look at me like that. I know you are angry. My heart breaks knowing you my brother- will never meet one like me!"

"..."

'What.'

As I don't want to add fuel to the pointless fire, I ask Balam a question.
