The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

[Welcome to Len World Online]

They are not here.

"Damn you, Elena!"

She told me to log in at 9 PM, and she is not here.

"Idiot."

[Hello, Adas.]

"Lily."

There is one person who is always waiting for me.

[Are you going to participate in the raid?]

"Yeah."

[Try to hold back a little.]

"Huh?"

[You are faking your stats, so if you do something that a beginner can't do, they might report you as a cheater.]

I don't care, but that sounds scary.,

"Okay."

Yesterday we all had fun on the beach, but Lily wasn't there.

"Lily, where were you yesterday?"

[I was with you.]

"But you weren't around when we were on the beach."

[I was watching you from outside the beach.]

"Why didn't you come with me?"

[I was with you, but your girlfriend did that.]

"What are you talking about?"

[She rented the beach for 2 hours.]

"Yeah, she did so--"

[Only party members or friends are allowed when you rent someplace.]

"Wait, so that means you were--"

[That's right, I was there, watching you having fun from the outside.]

Dammit, I did it again. She is always alone here, waiting for me and me...

"Are you sad?"

[Why? I am just an AI; I don't feel such emotions.]

She says that, but she looked sad when she said that.

"Let's go on a date tomorrow."

[Really?]

"Yeah, I will log in an hour early tomorrow."

[Yay, a date with Adas!]

Liar, you look so happy, don't lie to me, idiot.

"Hey Adas, I am sorry I am late." Here comes Elena.

"It's okay."

'Because I am used to it' I don't want to get punched so that I won't say that to her.

"Hey, idiot, couple." I heard a familiar voice.

"We are not idiots!" Elena yelled.

"That's right, she might be an idiot, but I am not--" I received a blow on my back.

"There is still half an hour until the raid; what should we do?" Rikka asked.

"Let's go to the café!" said Elena.

My girlfriend is a glutton.

"Umm, I read about the raid on the app but, I still don't know how it works and, what's the difference between raid and world boss?"

Rikka and Elena looked at me like they were looking at some idiot. I admit I am an idiot in games. I tried to read about games, but I just can't understand it.

"Okay, I will explain the raid, and Reina will explain about the world boss."

"Okay."

"All the players from this floor will participate in the raid."

"All the players from all the three floors can participate in the world boss."

"The main difference between a raid and a world boss is, in a raid, there are many monsters."

"While in world bosses, there is only one boss."

"When the raid starts, we will be teleported to the labyrinth."

"What's a labyrinth?" I asked.

"To put it simply, it's like a dungeon with infinite floors." answered Elena.

"...."

"Still didn't understand?"

"I am sorry..." I feel pathetic.

"In the raid there is infinite flow. ors, and there are monsters on each floor but floor 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and so on, there are bosses."

"I see."

Rikka clapped her hands and said, "Okay, so going back to raid vs world boss."

"In world boss, we will get teleported to the tombs of fame."

"Tombs of fame?"

"It's a place name."

Then say that from the start.

"In the raid, you can team up with other parties, friends and in the end, your scores and the players you teamed up with, will be summed up, and you will get rewards based on that."

"While in world boss, you can't team up with anyone, your scores will be counted individually."

"Any more questions?"

"No."

I feel like a person who just got out from an interrogation. I noticed Ricky laughing from behind them, but I decided to ignore him.

"How many have you reached so far in the labyrinth?"

"33," said Elena.

"34," said Rikka and Ricky.

"I would have reached floor 34 too if those guys..."

"Yeah, they were jerks."

"What are you talking about?"

"In the last raid, when we reached floor 33, some guys pushed Elena in front of the monster, and she died."

Who the fuck were they?

"Are you okay, Adas?" Rikka asked.

"Yeah, I am fine; by the way, do you know who those guys were?"

"I don't know but, maybe they will participate in this raid too."

"I see."

They will pay for what they did to Elena.

"So, any more questions?"

"What happens when a player dies in a raid?"

"They get disqualified from the raid."

"Do they respawn in the login point?"

"No, they will need to go through the portal, and they will be teleported here."

"I see."

Now I can kill those guys without any problem.

"Hey Rikka, did you tell them about the post?" said Ricky.

"Ah yeah, Reina, Adas, did you remember yesterday I posted your photo online?"

"Yeah?"

I am having a bad feeling about this.

"That post is popular now."

"What?"

You are kidding, right? That photo? That embarrassing photo is famous now?

"What do you mean, Rikka?" Elena asked.

"Check that post once you log out."

I am sure people called us idiots.

"Adas.." Elena said.

Don't make that face now; I told them to delete that post, but you were okay with that post.

"It's all your fault!"

"But I wanted people to----"

[5 Minutes Left For The Raid, All Players Will Now Be Teleported To The Labyrinth Of Shamash]

"It's time, well then, we will meet you there, Adas."

"Yeah."
