The Game Rune System

Chapter 72: Setting up the board!

After Rainbow Adventurers gathered in the Bende City, Tetsuya made them go for the simple quests that would strengthen them naturally.

He didn't mind spending some time on them as the goal had been to make them stronger anyway.

He also needed to properly map out the forest of birds and the mountain that had been known as den of the strongest birds.

This den was just cover for the bloodsuckers, but due to the Big Mom's rule, no one could properly infiltrate it.

Even the bird leaders from atop this mountain would usually just go down and fight any newcomers with their army.

It doesn't take a smart person to guess that Tetsuya needed an army on his own to infiltrate the bloodsuckers!

"What does this map look like?" Tetsuya glanced at Millia and her Symphy who just nodded like a human.

One could see awe in its eyes as it looked at the map.

Tetsuya just used the general knowledge he remembered on Earth and it somewhat made his map to be far more extraordinary than usual!

The map wasn't perfect as Silver Bird Leader couldn't get atop the mountain, but it was still an amazing map that exuded a lot of careful details.

Furthermore, this map could be integrated with everyone's Rainbow Adventurers' mini maps, so it was a magical map too!

Tetsuya planned to distribute raw maps for strong mercenaries later, though.

"Symphy is amazed. This map exposes most of the forest's locations." Millia could see her beast companion emotions and feel those with their special connection.

She just said an obvious thing, "I see." But Tetsuya just agreed and thanked for sharing such valuable emotion.

Tetsuya folded the map, then put it in the Purple Cube. He then gathered more blank sheets and put them into the purple cube as well.

In this way, the manufacture of those maps began!

-

"A new quest?" Skylar raised her eyes at Tetsuya who just spoke about the new quest.

He wouldn't speak of quests that easily, so her eyes glittered with an expectation for high bonuses!

She would work hard even for one point!

The siblings had similar expressions, but Marre had one of his eyes narrowed as the tiger cub kept digging its teeth into his leg.

The game master smiled, "Yes, we will infiltrate the mountain."

A heavy atmosphere immediately filled the room.

Why was it so? The mountain! Tetsuya just spoke about the mountain that had been den for the strongest birds ever since old times!

Even he couldn't properly take care of all the silver birds falling at him. Back then, Tetsuya's body had bleeding which was not severe, but it was still bleeding!

If those birds could've made him bleed, then the leaders from the mountains would be even more vicious and harder to deal with.

That was the reason for the heavy atmosphere, but Tetsuya just laughed out loud and explained, "Our goal is to spread this." He took out a small object that shone with purple color. It was like a stone or broken part of something tough.

Tetsuya just explained the goal, "We have to spread a lot of those throughout the mountain. We won't fight anyone, but sneakily move around the forest and mountain."

The question was how could they achieve such a feat?

The birds' senses weren't weak and they could see a lot through their eyes. Even without their senses, their eyes alone were dangerous to any invaders!

"Do you have a way to bypass their senses and eyes?" Skylar asked.

"I wouldn't propose such a plan without any way," Tetsuya put his hand on the table, then summoned a lot of items from his inventory.

This always made the Rainbow Adventurers left in amazement, even though they also had small space for themselves.

Enough of amazement, Tetsuya summoned the resources his Rainbow Adventurers had gathered before in the birds' forest through their quests.

Those resources were lost feathers, a little blood and so on from the birds.

Even the forest's wood, soil and leaves were here!

All of this ended up in the Purple Cube yet again!

Seeing this process, the Rainbow Adventurers became silent like students watching their teacher.

Even small sub let go Marre's leg and went up to the table to look at the phenomenon with blinding purple lights going around!

The purple cube spent around ten minutes in such process, trembling and jumping a little on the table.

It then spat out the five rough badges that landed near everyone, even the tiger cub.

"If we keep those in our pockets, we will be able to move around the forest without getting sensed by the birds. We should be able to escape their eyes too, but it's best to not stay too close." Tetsuya explained the badges!

"..." Everyone was flabbergasted!

"The goal is to spread those purple cubs." Tetsuya reminded, then he wrote directions on everyone's minimap so that they could begin their quest as soon as possible.

-

Left alone, Skylar waved at Millia who ventured into the forest on her own.

She had her silver bird and looked resolute to complete her quest. Such a weak lady became much different as her steps were taken with confidence!

Her eyes no longer seemed dead and apologizing, but beautiful and resolute.

Skylar couldn't possibly let this lady outrun her, could she?

The black-haired lady tightly grasped her ax, checked the rough badge and set up on the adventure on her own.

"This forest feels different... " It was because Skylar's objective was not to fight.

Her goal was to roam through the forest, plant the unknown purple objects deep in the soil, then return!

She still had to be careful, but Skylar could look at the forest with different eyes than before!

And how did it feel?

The lady genuinely felt good in this forest. It was fresh and serene with a slight breeze accompanying her

Momentarily, Skylar forgot about everything, but her senses had been on ever since. Even if she ended up enjoying the forest, she still could sense the sudden disturbance in the breeze.

One of the birds just flapped its wings not too far away from her.

Skylar did her best to hide beneath the leaves, her heart loud, but only to her ears! She managed to hide well and sense out the bird which ended up as an achievement!

[Your instincts have been sharpened! Your W Skill's stats have been increased by 10]

"Wow" She stepped into the dangerous route and got stronger just from that alone!

Not everyone could leverage on the dangerous routes, but Skylar's new job, Rainbow Adventurers, made this possible.

She also got reminded about sibling's words.

Tetsuya had told them that they would enjoy the adventures, which were 'mercenaries going to the work'. 

Has been she enjoying this route so far?

"Yeah It feels great..." Skylar blushed and moved a little further.

She checked the area, used her senses to sweep through the area as well, then squatted. Her hand grasped the small shovel that appeared out of her inventory, then she began digging quite deep.

A small purple object fell to the pit, then Skylar did her best to hide it beneath the dirt.

Everyone was doing this, but what was the game master's plan?

-

"MMORPG is currently used by Rainbow Adventurers." Tetsuya spoke while digging as well.

His partner just nodded inside and it was an action that Tetsuya could tell with his instincts enough.

It was kinda cute

He then continued after, "MOBA Rune will be used in this area for both bloodsuckers and mercenaries that end up fighting with each other soon. I will lure them here and have them play with my rules"

"MOBA BOARD is not ready, though Will you use this forest then?" Ashley probed.

She was right on the spot, so Tetsuya nodded with contentment.

His plan was to just use minions for 'MOBA GAME' and use the world for the rest. If things turn well, then Tetsuya might even get two maps for his MOBA GAME which would be 'The forest map' and 'The bloodsuckers' city' map.

Nonetheless, he planned to make everyone play and act like god.

The winners would get some rewards, but not similar to Rainbow Adventurers, because Tetsuya planned to get far more of those.

Ashley reminded Tetsuya, "It might be hard to hide this from our current Rainbow Adventurers. I think it's fine to make them acquaintances of this plan. One of them might end up as your moderator too. I believe Skylar might be a good candidate. She also has a nice body, doesn't she?"

A beauty with muscles yet a big chest that seemed tender.

The naughty demon indeed stimulated Tetsuya a little, "How naughty."

But Tetsuya just needed to use these two words and Ashley would begin to pout and stay silent.

He laughed and added, "But you are right, my lovely partner." His words made Ashley nod a few times. Did she still feel mad at him mentioning that 'naughty' word? Certainly so!

"It's good that you understand. I am helping you here and giving all permission as the first wife. Though I am sure you don't need my permission."

"I treasure your permissions, Ashley. It means a lot and I know it," Tetsuya's mind shook and he found himself in front of Ashley.

She looked at him back and then began blushing highly.

"I love you." Those words made her head turn into a small tomato.

It was quite an unexpected move!
