God of Virtual Reality

A Problem

Damantus City, Empire of Gracia,

Kai and his party were flying through the clouds on their pegasus. The sun shone brightly above their heads radiating heat throughout the region. One could easily witness a large population below them looking like tiny people. The fortress of Damantus was huge enough to be seen from a distance.
Kai, Arnold and Jason were holding the reins of the Pegasus while Mia, Chris and Richard were sitting behind them enjoying the view of the skies and lands below them.

"We are travelling for two hours now and we have almost reached the foot of Juniper Hills," commented Mia.

"Yeah, we just need to cross the city of Autumn Leaf and we are good to go." clarified Kai.

"Oh yes, and I heard that Drake is there too," informed Jason

"I see, that guy we met in another MMORPG, 'Cross Terms', I guess," said Kai.

"Yes, that game only. Let's add him too in our party," suggested Arnold.

"Ok, I agree," said Kai.

"Alright, Let me just give him a call," said Jason as he opened his menu and scrolled through the list of names in his friend list. After some time, he stopped on one of them and connected it via, 'Telepathic Communications'.

Ring.... Ring.... Ring.... Ring....

"He...llo, Dra...ke spea...king" a faltered voice answered. His voice seemed like something or someone is troubling him.

"Hey Drake, it's me, Jason. Why you sound so, terrified?" asked Jason.

"Jason, the city of Autumn Leaf is under attack by the Undead Army and their Legionnaires are destroying everything and everyone. We are trapped in a building...a..nd."

"And, what... Drake!!! Drake!!!" yelled Jason.

"We are just some minutes away from the city of Autumn Leaf," informed Arnold.

"Let's speed up our mounts," suggested Jason.

"Yeah, I totally agree. We need to save the city as well as the people." agreed Kai.

"But, I never heard of Undead Army." doubted Chris.

"I have heard of them... They are known as 'The Harbingers of Death', also they are a group of undead monsters but only controlled by their king, 'Burning Commander', or by the <<GOD OF CHAOS>>" clarified Kai.

"You mean there are more gods like you?" asked Mia in astonishment.

"Yeah, there are three known legendary quests and God knows, how many unknown legendary quests which reward a heavenly ring," explained Kai.

"Let's keep this discussion aside for now and focus on saving the city," said Jason.

"Yeah, sure let's do it." agreed Kai.

The three of them then held the reins tightly and pulled it backwards. The Pegasus neighed and increased their speed.
                     **********
The Pegasus flew swiftly nearing the city of Autumn Leaf. They all stopped just above the city, still in the air.

"Look down, the whole city of Autumn Leaf is on fire," shouted Chris, pointing towards the burning buildings.

Smoke and smell of burning filled the air around Autumn Leaf. Buildings either collapsed or burned into ashes. The heat in the atmosphere kept rising.

"This place, it seems to be deserted, there's no sign of anyone, " guessed Jason

"It can't be... The people must be hiding somewhere. We need to find them immediately and evacuate them right now." suggested Kai.

"How can we fight? Can't you see they are in large numbers and not only that they are level 95 monsters," argued Arnold.

"I am not that fool, We don't directly jump into the battle where we are heavily disadvantaged. I have a plan to counter these undead monsters." clarified Kai.

"What's the plan, genius." teased Mia.

"First, We will land on the rooftop of that four storey building and then I will cast an Invisibility spell on all of us. It's cast time is around 2 minutes and Cooldown is of 3 minutes.

Then, we will use the skill called <<Sprint>> to dash through the streets and find comrades who can help us in the evacuation of the players. After the effect of the spell is worn off. We will use the skill called <<Sneak>> to hide for a minute. Then I will recast <<Invisibility>> and we will start battling the monsters and the city of Autumn Leaf would be besieged by us." explained Kai.

"You... you are awesome and let's just execute the plan," said Jason.

"Will you please flattering me and do as we planned before the situation gets out of control."

"Yeah, bro let's do this. I wanna kick some monster butts," said Richard excitedly.

"Everyone please wear a pair of Iron Claws and Follow me," ordered Kai and jumped off the pegasus into the void.

"This guy will someday get us all killed," said Arnold and jumped off.
Behind him, Jason, Mia, Chris and Richard jumped off the pegasus too.

Kai's silver cloak swayed in the air as he fell downwards, his staff hung beside his left torso. His Iron claws glinted in the sunlight. Others behind him had also worn a pair of Iron Claws, knowing what was about to come.

"Everyone! Do it Now!" shouted Kai and inserted both the claws inside cracked walls of the coffee shop. His falling slowed and small sparks were created due to the friction created between the wall and Iron claws.

Others too drove their claws inside the cracks of the wall. Their movement slowed down and they stopped just a few feet away from the ground. They all started to climb upwards, slowly inserting and ejecting their claws in the cracks. It took some minutes for them to reach the rooftop.

"You moron, we would have died back there. Why didn't we just landed our rides on the roof and got down?" barked Arnold.

"Kai, that's really bad of yours. Arnold is right, we would be dead till now, " agreed Chris

"Cool down guys, These monsters, <<Burning Undead>> have a beast sensing ability and would have easily sensed our presence if we just landed on the roof. That's why I chose the hard way for us to reach here." clarified Kai.

"Oh, then why didn't you told me before?"

"I didn't tell because you would have started an argument and we don't have time to waste."

"Ok, I am sorry. let's move.

" Yeah but before that... <<Invisibility>>" cried Kai.

An aura of light started to form around everyone including Kai. Above their HP bars, a symbol of an eye with a slant line appeared. They all then activated their <<Sprint>> skill and came down on the streets.

"Guys, Let's split up and gather the players and remember to keep in touch with the telepathic communication," suggested Kai.

"Ok, I and Mia will go in the west," said Arnold.

"Then, I and Richard will go to East Direction," said Chris

"That leaves, me and Kai. We will go to the south and search for the players," said Jason.

"Guys, Also, remember that the cast time of the spell is just 2 minutes," warned Kai

"What would we do after that?" asked Mia on behalf of others.

"Use the <<Sneak>> skill and then find me. Also, we all will maintain a distance of 200 meters so, we won't have any difficulty finding each other," explained Kai.

"Understood, I will keep that in
mind." said Arnold

Kai, Arnold and Mia split up with their party and went into East West and South directions.
