Chapter 348: Burden (2)
I didn’t know why this quest was given to me, but it was too good for me to give it up.
Besides, I was aware of who Borneche was, or what kind of guild it was.
They were one of the top three guilds in Russia.
“I guess this means that they proceeded with a quest after finding it.”
Anyway, when I chose to join the expedition, an additional message rang.
[You will be transferred to a new continent in one hour.]
I immediately informed my father and Director Sok of that message because it would take me quite a while to move there. So I spent time preparing for the expedition, and exactly an hour later, the message rang again.
[You are now moving to a new continent.]
At that moment, I felt as if my body was being dragged somewhere, and soon a large number of people appeared before my eyes.
“Where am I now?”
“Uh? I was just washing the dishes, and now I am suddenly here!”
“I was standing guard in a refugee camp…”
“Shit! What the hell is going on?”
Lots of people were complaining, at a loss what to do next.
Obviously, I received the message stating that I was given the opportunity to participate in the Borneche expedition, and that this opportunity would be given to another user if I didn’t answer within 5 seconds. So I thought that the message would only ring for those who had a= ‘Revival Legend’ account, or more precisely, those who have raised their reality actualization rate, for it clearly rang in reality.
But there were a fairly large number of ordinary people around me.
Moreover, it seemed that they were forced to move here without receiving the message that gave me a choice.
At that moment, somebody shouted.
[Hi, everybody, please calm down!]
There were some standing in an orderly manner on one side.
At a glance, I knew that they belonged to the Borneche Guild that organized this expedition.
As expected, the man announced something important.
[My name is Andrei, and I am the deputy leader of the Borneche Guild. First of all, if you have responded to this quest voluntarily by raising your reality actualization rate, please step forward.]
As soon as the man named Andrei said that, some people from the crowd began to move towards the place where he was. They were the ones who had raised their reality actualization rate.
When those who achieved their reality actualization rate gathered in one place, naturally, those who were left behind started to complain.
From the point of view of ordinary people who had no power, they could not help but question the motivations of the expedition organizers.
So I waited with them instead of stepping forward.
The Borneche Guild didn’t even know I was there because this quest did not seem to specify participants.
Then the guy named Andrei continued.
[Let me tell you once again. You don’t have to think about this in a complicated way. And this quest is also simple. All you have to do is move to the target point and get out of here. So we need to join hands because the stronger we are, the more safe it is for us to get out of here. So you guys have chosen to participate in this quest for rewards, right?]
What he said was still vague. More precisely, what he said was applicable only to those who had achieved a reality actualization rate.
So I could figure out easily what he was trying to get across to us.
At that moment, somebody from those ordinary participants shouted in anger.
“Then why did you bring us when we are powerless?”
“Are we going with you too?”
It was natural that they asked such questions.
In fact, the Borneche Guild should have mentioned it first.
But Andrei made some poor excuses.
[Um… I’m sorry about that. As a matter of fact, we only wanted those who have reality actualization rate. We didn’t think that ordinary people like you could be forced to come over here. Moreover, the place outside is quite dangerous, so we can’t move while protecting you guys.]
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“We didn’t come here because we wanted to!”
“That’s right!”
“Anyway, isn’t it because of the Borneche Guild that we are here now?”
“The Borneche Guild must take responsibility for us until the end.”
They could not help but vent their anger when Andrei tried to appease them with lukewarm apologies.
Then Andrei shouted firmly.
[I made it clear to you that I’m sorry.]
“…”
“…”
“…”
Of course, compared to those who had raised their reality actualization rate who could pour fire and ice from their hands or cut thick rocks as easily as radishes with a sword in their hand, ordinary people were quite weak. So when Andrei frowned at them fiercely, they immediately became silent as if they didn’t complain at all.
A heavy silence fell.
But Andrei, the deputy leader of the Borneche Guild, who silenced them in an instant, continued casually as if their complaints were trivial.
[I’m really sorry if anyone here felt offended by my words. But, as you all know, you are in reality, not within ‘Revival Legend.’ In other words, it is over when you die. But you have come to this place even though you already know this? Why? Because you want to become a little stronger faster than others. I think all of you know what happened in Osaka, Japan.]
Even though he beat around the bush, his main point was that the Borneche Guild didn’t want to care about the ordinary participants.
As soon as he said that, some others who had stood still among the crowds of ordinary participants began to head to the place where those who achieved their reality actualization rate gathered.
Obviously, what he said was very provocative, but very calculated.
That’s why there were a lot who hesitated while watching closely how others would respond.
However, the reason they came here even at the risk of their lives was because they wanted to become a little stronger faster than others.
So they had no choice but to agree with Andrei’s message, who was clever enough to notice it.
After that, Andrei shouted to those who moved out of the ordinary participants and joined those who raised their reality actualization rate.
[I would like to ask you to tell us about your level within Revival Legend and your current reality actualization rate and the items that you have already actualized in reality. Oh, please don’t misunderstand me. I’m not asking you for such information with some bad intentions. I just want to treat you fairly based on your capabilities. Surely you don’t want those with capability 10 and capability 100 to be treated equally right, right? Of course, our expedition members will also reveal their level and capabilities to you. Only that way will we be able to build the safest formation by dividing you into tanks, dealers, healers, and enchanters.]
As soon as he announced it, there was some murmuring among those who raised their reality actualization rate, but it didn’t last long because the roles assigned to each individual were different depending on their abilities. For example, healers and enchanters cannot be assigned to the vanguard.
Watching them hesitating, Andrei opened his mouth again, looking at the group of ordinary people where I currently stood.
