My Wants To Kill Me - Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Died again

‘Even our top players were killed. This whole quest is turning out to be a disaster. The information I was given was completely wrong! We were told that the dragon was a level 190 monster, but it is not! It was a boss class monster who had a level in the 200s.’

Ryder was frowning as he watched the players dying. He didn’t stop attacking the dragon though.

Time passed slowly as they gave it their all in this fight without holding anything back.

With the help of the potions, They had managed to fight for quite a long time. The dragon was now at 15% HP. Opposite the dragon, only 2 people were left.

Ryder Flynn, who was leading the mission and Max Lee, the Vice-Captain of the team.

They both had 100% of their hp because they had just consumed the last vial of their potions.

“I’m out of potion,” Ryder told Max with a wry smile on his face.

“Me too,” Max replied with a burst of laughter.

“Let’s give it our all ”

This was all Ryder thought at that time. It was the first time he was leading a mission and he wanted to complete the quest so badly.

They fought the dragon with all their might. They had finally managed to bring the dragon down to a 1% hp after using their skills one after another.

Ryder checked his HP on the screen that appeared in front of him. The screen showed that he had 50% HP remaining. He gazed at his side and gazed at Max’s Hp. He only had 5% HP.

“I will attract the dragon’s attention while you attack him from the back! I have 50% HP while you only have 5%! I will use taunt and attract it’s standing. I will take the brunt of its attack. Its strongest attack will only consume 48% of my hp at Max, while your attack will kill it! We can definitely complete that quest together.”Ryder told Max with a serious look on his face.

“I’m sorry Hades If I had a potion, I would have attracted its attention instead,” Max told Ryder in an apologetic tone.

“Taunt!” Ryder used Taunt to attract the attention of the dragon and gave Max a chance to position himself for the attack. It worked as the dragon attacked Ryder with his flaming breath.

“Huh?” Ryder’s expression turned blank as he found out that his HP was at 0% as soon as the fire touched me. He couldn’t understand what just happened. He shouldn’t have died from the attack.

In this game, they were given a twenty-second counter before they were logged out of the game after dying. They couldn’t log in for the next 24 hours after that.

The countdown of those 20 seconds began. At that time Ryder used the help on his screen and talked to Maya about the problem with his HP.

Her reply shocked him to his core and almost made him curse out loud.

She said that it was the system that showed him the wrong information. His real Hp was only at 2% at that time, not 50%.

Ryder asked why, but Maya didn’t reply.

He still had ten seconds remaining as he watched Max giving the finishing blow.

He was again stunned as he saw max drinking a max potion to get his HP at peak before he dealt the finishing blow.

“That bastard!!! He lied to me” Ryder was devastated as he watched this. Soon he heard there was a system-wide announcement.

“Player Max has completed the Malta Valley quest! As he is the first player to complete the quest, he will be rewarded with 1000 Fame points. Royal Battle Guild will receive a 1000 fame points as well.”

That was the last announcement Ryder heard before everything went dark.

“Huh? Where am I? I’m not logged out?” Ryder stood in a dark room as he looked around. Maya was standing in front of him.

“You’re at the registration counter”  She answered

“Why wasn’t I logged out?” Ryder again asked.

“You can’t log out or exit the game. Your player status has been taken from you. Your real body has died in the real world. You can’t go back and your consciousness is trapped in the game. You aren’t considered a player anymore.” Maya said in an emotionless tone.

” What the fuck? Have you gone crazy? My real body is dead? I’m not a player? Are you joking with me? Let me leave this instant. Let me contact the developers. “Ryder let out in an angry tone as he tried contacting the devs, but no screen appeared in front of him.

“You’re not a player and you can’t use the facilities provided to players. I can’t let your consciousness create disturbance in the game either. Thus, You will be an NPC in the game now! You will be bound by restrictions and won’t be able to do anything but repeat the same tasks.” Maya let out as she gazed at Ryder.

“What the hell are you talking about? How the hell is that possible? How can I die when I am in my bedroom!”Ryder said with a look of disbelief on his face. He couldn’t believe that she was serious. Wuxiaworld for visiting.

“You… you…” The black room disappeared in front of his eyes and he found himself in the novice village.

He stood outside a cottage and found himself unable to move.

“Ah… Sir, do you need any help?” A young boy came to him and asked. From his clothes, he looked like a novice player.

“Yes, dear. I have lost my stick in the field. Can you help me find it? I will give you three Beans as a reward” Ryder had no control over his mouth as the words just came out.

‘Did I actually die and was now an NPC? I was starting to believe the words of Maya now.’ Ryder thought as he felt like crying.

‘And that’s how I died… Trapped in a game and killed by the system that was supposed to help me…’
