The Player's System

Arrow Dust

Weapon ability

The announcement went on air, "The weapon ability called Arrow Dust is now available in the Dead Hall. Get it before it disappears."

The announcement ended.

The teams ran to capture the ability. Jake tightened his fist. First team already got the task, now he was going to take help from task panel before the opponent team find the ability.

Jake called task panel and asked. The answer appeared on the screen.

[Weapon ability called Arrow Dust is in the third last section where the task got completed.]

[It is in the form of water pot and Dusty]

[Get it in the five minutes or else it would shatter in pieces]

Weapon abilities were similar of treasure. Those who got them in the initial level, would get advantage in the advance levels. The task perks going to get upgrades eventually making abilities stronger in each level.

"We won't let go this ability." Jake murmured. He remained near the third last section. Junan thought to rush around and search the ability. Others followed him behind however remained at his spot. His eyes were fixed at the third last section.

Ahram called him but he seemed not listening. Other team members also stopped knowing that Jake was not following behind.

They came back. "What are you waiting here?" Junan asked worried.

There was little time while the opponents were taking lead. Here the young player was getting lazy. "I am waiting first team to leave." He almost whispered. Meanwhile first team ran from the third last section to search the ability. They were immensely happy to complete task. Now they could tell how it difficult it would have been for third team to cross levels.

They admired the capability of the third team in their hearts. It was another matter that they were opponent in the live portal.

Junan first team leaving and the young player ready to enter in the third last section. He followed him behind asking, "They already destroyed this section. Do you think the ability is here?" He was curious about how this young player was sure about it.

"You see they named it Arrow Dust so it could only be in the most dusty place." Jake commented the most foolish excuse of his life. Sashi was running to walk near them and ask what was happening.

Clearly this ability belonged to the Archery profession. She was enthusiastic to get it however the situation was drastically freaking. It was most hateful that the developers scattered abilities making announcement. It would break battle between teams.

And the most hilarious aspect that the level fourth would kick out those players who tried to damage the property of the museum. She was unsure whether to laugh or cry. Compared to this, she liked the earlier level. At one side they wanted the players to fight for the ability, at the other side they wanted peace in the museum.

She reached near Jake when he entered in the section. "Goodness that you are here. Search water pot full of dust." As Jake saw the girl he told her.

It was getting normal that Jake would randomly ask some senior for something and they would act accordingly without asking questions. It was due to his sharp observations that earned him reputation among the team.

Sashi heard and hurried to search the water pot. Soon she found it near the empty box. Inside the water pot, a dusty ball was floating. With just one glance she understood the reason behind this haste. There were several cracks on the clay pot. As she captured the dust ball, the pot shattered. The dust ball added to her ability.

They heard announcement, "The third team got the Arrow Dust."

Jake heaved sigh of relief. They got the second ability. Sashi received formal notification disclosing the characteristics of the ability.

"Arrow Dust is designed to increase the proficiency of the weapon. Coupled with the profession ability, the arrows could increase power behind the attack. Also it would change the shape of the arrow in the dust however the attack damage would remain as it is mentioned. The further levels would enhance this ability to its fullest. The player could use its golden stat to increased the level of ability. It would be available at level ten."

Sashi read through. She was glad that young player helped her to get this ability. The other two teams remained speechless after listening announcement.

Junan patted the shoulder of the young player, "Things are getting nasty with the presence of opponent, everyone of us should use all means to get what it should belong to us." He grimly ordered. Junan didn't ask from young player how he managed to observe the right place.

Jake knew that third team has many things to take in notice since they are at the best ranking. Tasks could give perks to the opponent teams however if the team itself failed to reach next level then the perks were useless.

The third team was made for the long run in the portal game. The owner prepared second team as well however knowing the background of the young player, the owner wished that third team survive and defeat as many opponents as they could. He was giving them blunt chance to revenge.

The players were aware so they were cautious as well as ready to sacrifice anything, be it ego. With the experience they learned how to differentiate between important and most important. They could sacrifice tasks in order to get hold on abilities.

The second team and the first team didn't come to look for third team instead they minded their own business. They checked where to find third haunted object.

Orin was ready to read the Book of Detection. "The haunted object is a document. It is in the Script hall. Beware the words could destroy and the words could heal."

The document was among the several thousand years old document however it was oddly odd.
