Reset: DPS to Support?!

Simultaneously as the sword struck at the player, the blonde-haired man holding onto the sword swiftly swept it across horizontally, sweeping through the players in front of him.

"Argh...!"

"An attacker is here...! Get into-"

Moments later, blue mana sparks shot out from behind the blonde-haired man, quickly hitting onto the players that were trying to position themselves.

With the chaos caused by the fox outside, the defence at the front entrance was weakened, thus Ethaniel and Shinto began their plan, to dive straight into Lavida's Hotel.

...

Inside of a small hotel room, a young girl paced around the space impatiently. Whilst doing so, she attempted to send a whisper to her companion, Shinto.

[ You can't send a whisper at this time! ]

"Argh...!" The young girl, Frey, pulled her hair in frustration. "Why isn't this working?!"

She continued pacing around the room whilst repeating the same action she had done over and over.

"Ugh... is all this happening because of this sudden notification I got?" Frey's eyes turned towards her notification screen.

[ Due to being involved with certain parties outside of Lavida, in the name of Lavida, you have been held liable for your actions. You will remain in your room until further notice or until the timer has struck down to zero. ]

[ Time till Punishment: 4:18:17 ]

"This all happened after I was caught giving out those spicy rice cakes to other people..." she pouted. "What's wrong with enjoying some spicy rice cakes? It's not like they sell it here anyways!"

[ Time till Punishment: 4:18:14 ]

Looking back at the timer in front of her, Frey let out a sigh. "I wonder what will happen after the timer reaches zero... I won't be ban will I?" she muttered to herself. "If I do get banned... then the plan won't be able to move forward...! Ah...! I hope not!"

Frey continued to pace back and forth. "But if it isn't a ban... then what will it be? Restrictions to some of those privileges from the monthly pass?" Thinking to herself, she finally stopped at her tracks. Soon after, she turned towards the window. "The most likely would be a ban right? Sigh... I wonder what's master up to right now..."

Looking out at the window, she noticed that there was a commotion going on outside. "...huh? What's going on?" The moment she saw multiple explosions from the view outside, she received a notification.

*This is a link with the quest "To prove them all!", thus you are unable to decline this quest.

"H-Huh...?" Frey blinked at the sight in front of her. "...another quest?" Reading through the details of the quest, Frey turned towards the door of her room. "So... all I have to do is get out of here right?"

Taking a step forward towards the door, Frey curled up her hands into fists. "Well... here goes nothing...!" Without any hesitation, she punched through the doors of the hotel, and quickly made her way outside.

"...!!" The eyes of the guards outside of Frey's room grew wide open as they saw that the door busted open. "What are you...!?"

"Well, isn't it obvious? I'm escaping from here!"

With a force of aura around her fists, Frey protruded it out towards the two guards that were in her way, swiftly pushing them back, Moments later, she pushed her legs forward as she ran.

"Argh...! Get her! Don't let that woman get away from here!"

...

Through the hallways in the building, Ethaniel rushed forward, with his sword in hand. Quickly, he swung his sword as he sent a wave of light over towards the players in front of him, quickly pushing them back.

"Argh...!" Despite being pushed back, they gritted their teeth as they stood their ground.

"Hey, Shinto! Where the heck do we go?!" Ethaniel shouted out to the person behind him as he clashed swords with the enemies. "These guys are in every single goddamn corner we turn to!"

"Err..." Shinto said as he looked around the area whilst sending out multiple many sparks to the enemy. "They're somewhere... I think they're probably on the upper floors."

"We're on the 4th floor! Just how many floors are there?!"

"I think this goes up to the 10th floor..."

"Such a nuisance..." he scoffed whilst mowing through the enemies in his path with the support of Shinto from behind.

"Urrk...! This guy's a monster!"

"We need to call for back up!"

"Who says you can call for backup?" Ethaniel said as he leapt forward, quickly turning the players in front of him to grey ash. "Damn. Why does Lavida have so many players?"

"Beats me..." Shinto shrugged. "Anyways, we should hurry before more players come..."

"Bah. Where to?" Following after Shinto who went ahead, he asked. "Every goddamn place we go to is flooded with players. If this keeps up, our resources will just pummel."

Shinto sighed. "If only we know exactly where they are..."

"Tsk. So annoying..." he clicked his tongue. "Let's just head to the next floor at this point."

He nodded his head. "Right, let's just scan the perimeters as we go up like we've been doing. The closer we are to Raina and Greld, the more powerful the enemies would be right?"

"I guess that's the logic, Lucas and that bastard Brax are nowhere to be seen," he shrugged.

Continuing along the hallways, they quickly reached the end as they saw that there were two staircases on the left and right side of the room that led up.

"..." Seeing the scene in front of them, they looked at each other in the eyes as they opened their mouths at the same time.

"Left," Ethaniel said firmly.

"Right," Shinto said firmly.

"Bah, you chose last time didn't you?" he frowned.

"It was you that chose the previous hallway to check first, so it's my turn now," Shinto replied.

"Tch... alright, alright, then right it is."

Although both staircases led to the same floor, the hallways at the end of either entrance were different, though all the hallways connected to a single main hall on each floor.

Without wasting any more time, the two made their way to the right staircase, swiftly heading up to the 5th floor, in which, they could hear loud noises the closer they climbed up.

"...is something happening on the 5th floor?" Shinto questioned. Unlike the previous floors that they went to which were quiet, this one was noisy.

"Donno. Just check it out, were going there anyway right?" Ethaniel said.

Reaching the entrance of the 5th floor, the first thing that the saw was a woman fighting against multiple players in the hallway.

"Ahh! Out of the way! Stop wasting my time!" The woman shouted out as she punched the player in front of her.

"...Frey?" Seeing the familiar girl in front of him, Shinto raised his brow.
