Roll Land System: Release That Rock - Chapter 16
Dustina notified a few dust particles that she had recently created to keep watch over any more developments. After that, she and Dustin both told Rocky everything that had happened.
After a few minutes of telling Rocky information, Dustina noticed something wasn’t quite right. “Master? Hello? Are you listening to us?”
Rocky groggily felt his head burning up and vaguely heard what Dustina asked. He replied, “Yeah, what is it?”
Dustin annoyedly asked, “Did you even hear a thing we said?”
Rocky said dismissively, “Yeah, yeah. Something about Roland and stuff.”
Dustin yelled through the mental communication channel, “WE’RE ROCKS NOW!”
This jolted Rocky awake and he felt his ears vibrating in pain. He yelled back, “COULD YOU QUIET DOWN? Wait you guys are rocks?”
The Roll-land system informed Rocky, “User: Rocky has successfully completed physical and magical evolution. Time elapsed in update was 2 days. User: Rocky can now use rock-level magic. Congratulations!”
Rocky tested out his new rock-level magic and found it no different from dust level magic. Only this time, he can control rocks directly instead of a roundabout way of controlling dust particles.
Rocky looked around and saw nothing but darkness. However, he also felt a breath of cold wind occasionally. He asked, “Roll-land system what happened while I was asleep?”
The Roll-land system responded in a monotone voice, “User: Rocky, due to the lack of mental fortitude fainted immediately upon the forced update two days ago. Unfortunately, as I am living in your mental consciousness, I was also unable to record outside events. However, at this moment, User: Rocky is moving at a distance of 50 kilometers per hour.”
Rocky annoyedly said, “In other words you don’t know what had happened.”
The Roll-land system ignored that statement and went silent. Rocky knew that something was very wrong for him to be moving so quickly. He was not in his original box: that sweet, comfortable box that felt like a five-star hotel.
Instead, he felt a man’s disgusting sweat and a rough piece of fabric scraping on him. Rocky asked Dustina and Dustin, “After all the information D.U.S.T. has gathered, did you find out much about all that is happening currently yet?”
Dustina dutifully responded, “The months of demons have just begun today, and Border Town constructed a new town using ‘cement’. Also, Roland created an army and made them all kinds of new weapons. The church is silent in Border Town and the Alchemists Workshop had requested Roland to provide an extended lease for you.”
Rocky thought, “That’s strange. Am I being shipped back to Border Town now?”
Rocky asked, “Did Roland reply yet?”
Dustin answered, “I am currently in front of Roland’s desk while Dustina is in with the witch called Anna. Roland is only beginning to write his reply at this moment.”
After learning all this new information, Rocky concluded that he was kidnapped. With this realization, he suddenly felt truly afraid. His panicked head was filled with questions like, “Will I die? Will I end up on the road and unable to move for years? Will my kidnappers have high-quality boxes with fabric befitting rock royalty?”
Just the thought of being out in the cold air without any source of heat nearby was enough to send shivers down his spine.
