Chapter 259: Inside Necrosis
Ryder couldn"t help but think about Alice as he closed his eyes. He couldn"t help but wonder about her whereabouts.
He had found out about her and realized that she was also a part of Divinity. He had seen her with Divinity Gla.s.ses, which meant that she was also playing inside Divinity. He wondered what her Avatar was and where she was at the moment. The world of Divinity was mostly safe for normal players. He had only died in the later stages of the game, so he believed that Alice was safe, but there was another concern for him.
He had realized that the future was changing and anything was possible. If he could, he would never let Alice play divinity, but Ja.n.u.s was forcing him not to interfere. Ja.n.u.s had a.s.sured him that she was going to be safe, and he believed it.
Ryder couldn"t help but shake his head. He wondered if he should find out about her username so that he could message her or send a friend request to her.
He also wondered if that was the right thing to do.
"She knows I play in Divinity too. She started playing and didn"t inform me. Did she not want to meet me in Divinity? Is it that she wants freedom from me inside Divinity? If I do anything like asking her username and sending her a friend request, would it look like km stalking her? It might affect her negatively," Ryder thought as he frowned.
Rale and the others saw Ryder frowning with close eyes.
They all believed that Ryder was thinking about the Black Skeleton King and how he could save the people of the Demon Realm.
" He is indeed a nice Prince. I"m glad that he"s somewhat serious about his role," High Duke Mila thought as she smiled.
" As expected of His Highness. He isn"t resting at all. Even in this situation, he"s still thinking about the problem ahead. I should really do something to step up myself as well. I need to keep up with His Highness," Rale thought as he looked at Ryder.
The Royal Maid Miku, on the other hand, was not in the great hall. She was busy dealing with the official matters of the Kingdom. She was dealing with informing the other Dukes about the change in Ryder"s schedule, which had become even more complicated after the whole city was sealed down.
Devilia"s guards were guarding the great hall carefully. Ryder"s Royal Guards were inside the Great Hall, taking care of his safety.
While Ryder was inside the game, something else was taking place in the real world.
A bright moon was rising high in the sky. A cold breeze was flowing, making the gra.s.s on the ground whizzle.
Under this cold weather, a meeting was taking place in a giant building.
The building was in the Corporate Capital City of the Country. It was a tall building that everyone knew about. It belonged to a new corporation that was on its way of becoming a giant corporation.
There was a name on the top of the building.
"Necrosis Corporation."
This building belonged to the Necrosis Corporation that was known to be the makers of the first fully immersive Virtual Reality Game of Divinity.
On the top floor of this building, a meeting was taking place.
The meeting was between the top executives of the organization, where they discussed above the future plans for Divinity.
"So, what did you find out about this Hades? How is he getting so many items in Divinity? Did you not take precautions to prevent it from happening before we allowed the public to access Divinity?" An executive asked as he looked towards the screen.
Ryder"s image was showing on the screen. It was not the image of his Game Avatar. Instead, it was the pic of him in his real life.
All the executives looked towards a certain person who was sitting in a black suit in one of the suits.
The man sighed as he stood up.
"We did take precautions, but apparently we missed some things. That man, known as Ryder, was indeed lucky. He found an item that even we didn"t know about. That helped him advance and unlock the quests after that. Anyway, I know we are getting complaints, but we can"t do anything about it. It was his luck that he got this chance. It"s not worrisome. In my eyes, it only makes things more interesting. I think we can leave him alone for now and focus on other matters," The red-haired man replied.
"Fine. We can let him be. It"s his luck, and I"ll leave it at that, but there are more things we need to talk about. There are more pressing matters," the dark-haired executive in the main seat said as he frowned.
" About this Lucifer... Were you able to find out who this Lucifer is? How is he still getting access to Divinity?" The dark-haired executive asked the red-haired man.
"We... we have no idea. I don"t think he"s using our Divinity Gla.s.ses to get access to Divinity. He"s using some other methods. We can"t find out who he is or how he actually looks like. He could be a guy, or he could be a girl. All we can say is that he has some really incredible resources in his hands to be able to do this. We"re trying everything we can to find him, but it seems impossible," The red-haired man said as he shook his head.
" Everyone is useless! You can"t even find a guy that is getting access to Divinity bypa.s.sing us? Useless! Morons! Do you have any idea about the seriousness of this matter? The whole... Ahhh, you"re making me frustrated. I want him found! I want him found at all costs! Just remember, no one else is going to come from outside and help us find him. We"re the ones that are going to have to do it. Put more men in trying to find him," The dark-haired executive said as he stood up in anger.
The red-haired man took a deep breath but didn"t say anything. He simply nodded his head.
"It shall be done. Give me one more month," The red-haired man ultimately said.
"Good! I expect to see results in a month," The dark-haired man said as he nodded his head. He sat down on his seat.
" I also have to point out something," Another executive said as he chimed in. He also looked pretty serious as he talked.
"Speak, what do you wish to say?" the dark-haired executive asked the man.
