"Young master ", they said in unison as they went down on a knee with their heads down.
The wave of shock spread over all that is present. The noise in the valley dropped and no one was able to move for a few seconds.
After another minute, the people started to fall on their knees with their foreheads touching the ground beneath them.
With each person saying, "young master", before going down.
It did not take long for all present to knee and bow towards him.
The young boy, the young master, Sparo Sage, raised his head only after the last person knelt down. His vision was focused on the three individuals in front of him and his expression wasn't the best.
"Elder Lei, kill them", sage said in a low voice but everyone heard it clearly and jumped out of the pit.
"As the young master commands", the scar faced man replied with a light bow before following him out.
Immediately these words landed, the two individuals behind him got on flames, blue flames.
Before they could make a sound the flames on their body spread to the other corpses and they easily ignited. The flames were spread throughout the pit in a matter of seconds.
Sage had a solemn expression, elder Lei also had a solemn expression but deep down he was quite happy, 'At least, the Great Sage family will have a future', that was his thoughts as he looked down at the burning corpses.
...…
Nine hours ago, on earth, in the southern province of the Ashanti Kingdom. In a rented apartment in Suame, a middle aged man in his early twenties, had his eyes focused on the monitor in front of him.
His hands rapidly tapping the keyboard and moving the mouse at the same time. He had dark hair, dark body, below average body and 7.2 feet tall.
'Yo bro are you there….hurry up'
'Sage send me some pills am almost dead here'
'Do you hear me br…oh no'
These voices came from his computer, it was said by his partner, Ghangi, from the game he was playing.
Even though he heard Ghangiasking for help, he wanted to tell him he was out of pills but he had no headset to transfer his message.
He could only listen as his partner died.
He was left in the game to complete the mission, "defend your clan". It was the last but one mission in the game of Clansmen. To help your clan to defend against several waves of enemies.
Since the game was launched, non of the players have successfully completed this mission. This has resulted in the increase of the number of players who left their clans to start a new and different adventure.
The Clansmen is a free world game both online and offline, which can be played using all kinds of gaming assets, phones, laptops, helmets, vr pods, just name it.
Every new player is randomly placed into a clan as tweens, between the ages of 10 and 12. There can be at most 10 players in a clan. The players learn about the world through missions, awaken their inner soul at the latter stages of age 12.
Explore and conquer more territories for their respective clans, fight their way through to becoming the clan masters and lead their clan to rule over all other clans.
The young man, Jeffery Sparo, sweating profusely, kept his attention on the screen without blinking his eyes. He had successfully for the first time in the game history, defended against the fourteenth wave and was waiting for the last round of enemy wave to complete this mission.
After several seconds without hearing any war sounds or footsteps, he got puzzled and started to look around him with his character.
"What the f***", was the only thing to come from his mouth before his game character received two sharp arrows into his chest and fell down backwards, dead.
//Dead//
//Mission failed//
'This..this is not possible', he still had his hands on the keyboard and mouse as he thought to himself in disbelief.
But his thoughts was interrupted by a sudden knock on his door, |Bang bang bang bang|, it was not actually a knock, as the person seemed like breaking the door instead.
|Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang|
It came in again and Jeffery hurriedly in a worried voice asked, "please who is it?".
"Get the f*** out here and pay the loan or we will break this s*** door of yours", the person said angrily and banged on the door repeatedly.
Jeffery upon hearing the voice, like his escape mode was triggered, hurriedly placed on his shoes, picked up his backpack which already had all his belongings in it, and made a run for it towards the windows of his room.
Before he jumped out through the window he grabbed a wire which was hanging in the middle of the window.
Immediately he flew out the window, he heard the sound of his door hitting the floor but he could not be concerned about it right now as he had jumped out a window from the third floor of the building.
He tightened his grip on the wire as he rapidly closed in to the ground. When he was on the same level with the ground floor, the wire stretched and pulled him up a little and came down again but the wire ripped apart a few inches before he could land which resulted in his face meeting the ground first.
He was down on the floor for a few seconds before getting up while holding his broken and bleeding nose. He turned to the road to leave immediately but heard a voice behind him,"Hey you, I will find you, and when I do, I will kill your sorry as*!", "You hear me", "Believe me I will".
Jeffery turned to look at the man in his window and showed him his middle finger and just then, he was sent flying by a truck.
He blacked out before he could reach the ground, he did not get the chance to wonder what just happened.
