Last Shelter Online-Chapter 258 Special Treat

Hiro wrote his name on the screen as requested. Meanwhile, Liberty and Cara, who were already very curious, were peeking beside him. Nicholaesz was also there. She felt that there was no need to participate in the event like the two girls by Hiro’s side. Even though she had only been with them for a short time, she knew who the leader was.

What would happen next? Hiro only needed to wait according to the time given by the system.

[You have registered as a Player NightFall]

[Please wait until all the participants register]

[The registration will be closed after 15 minutes]

“Well, there’s still a lot of time left. What can we do while we wait?” Liberty asked, while looking at Hiro expectantly. She then turned to Cara and waited again.

“Cara, don’t you feel hungry? We still have some leftovers if you’re hungry,” Liberty said, being friendly again. She had no idea that Cara was still so eager to register for the event. Even until this second, Cara continued to stare at the transparent screen in front of her, as if telling her to register.

“Cara.” Hiro patted Cara’s shoulder and took the girl by surprise. Cara looked at him in confusion. She didn’t seem to have heard what Liberty had just said. Liberty, who finally understood the situation, pulled the girl away from that place.

“I will give you the demon food, which is quite unique but delicious. You can ignore the screen like I did, Cara,” Liberty said casually, as if she could handle it. She wanted to help Hiro to focus on the event that was waiting for him.

Hiro nodded as Liberty glanced at him. He thanked the girl for giving him some time to himself.

The NPC demons had returned to their respective places. However, those who were still eating their food were still there, sitting by the fire and greeting Liberty and Cara as they came.

The food served managed to distract Cara. She really needed to fill her empty stomach.

Meanwhile, Hiro walked away to a fairly quiet place. He sat on a cobblestone pavement while looking at the screen that was still showing the registration countdown.

As usual, Hiro took the time to open his friendlist to see if there was any news from his two close friends who suddenly disappeared as if swallowed by the earth. He really wished them well. However, the longer he didn’t get any news, the more certain he felt that something bad had happened to them.

Hiro clenched his fists, feeling helpless. If only he could talk to the GM, or at least his brother one more time right now, he would ask his friend’s whereabouts for the first question. What they had done seemed to have something to do with the fate of his two friends.

“Alice.”

“What? It’s rare for you to call me. Do you need anything from me?”

“Can you find out where Jacob and Noah are now? You don’t need to log into the game for a while. Can you find any information about the two of them?” Hiro asked, making a request that was enough to take Alice by surprise.

“Are you worried about the two of them? Wow. I didn’t know you could care so much for them. Maybe they just want to try new things without you.”

Hiro just stared at Alice. He knew Jacob and Noah wouldn’t be like that. Even though Noah was annoying sometimes, he was sure something must have happened. He didn’t agree with what the girl had just said.

“Can you do the game alone without me?” Alice asked, making sure Hiro was fine before logging out of Spyro’s body. She realized that she had said the wrong thing and immediately wanted to act according to Hiro’s request to atone for her mistake.

“I can do it. I will win anyway. That way the person who calls himself GM will acknowledge my existence,” Hiro explained while playing with his fingers.

“What’s your plan, Hiro?” Alice asked curiously. She knew Hiro would definitely win, but she didn’t know how the man would win the game.

“I don’t even know what the game will be like yet. If it’s just a duel game, I’m sure I can do well, Alice. I just need to strategize during the preparation process. They can’t just start the game without an explanation, right?” Hiro explained, while looking at his shoes.

“Besides, they also haven’t announced who the demon king will be fighting later. If they choose it randomly, even though it’s very unlikely to appear, I can meet Yuujin and talk to him if it’s him.”

Alice realized that her worries for Hiro were unnecessary. Hiro already knew what he was going to do without waiting for her opinion in the slightest.

“I will go now,” said the girl while flying in front of Hiro. She looked into Hiro’s eyes one last time before leaving him.

“Don’t come back until you get something useful, Alice.” Hiro was really serious about his request.

“I understand.”

Kwaakk! 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Spyro was back with its unique voice, kwak! Hiro stroked the dragon’s head gently, and it seemed the dragon liked it too. It acted very spoiled to its master because Hiro spoiled the dragon like that.

[Registration time has ended]

[All players will be teleported to a special place]

[All players]

Hiro raised an eyebrow. The system went so far as to repeat it twice, as if they wanted to emphasize the two words. Not only the participants of the game event, but those who didn’t register as well? What exactly was the GM planning?

This time, Hiro looked at his hands, which suddenly felt hot like they were burning from the inside. Then, slowly, from his fingertips, they seemed to split apart from his body and turned into pixels like when a monster was killed in that world.

The process was so slow that Hiro could see it until his eyes also turned into pixels. And everything turned very dark.

“What happened?”

Hiro could still breathe and speak, but only his voice could be heard. He couldn’t see anything, and his body felt like it was floating in the air. It was dark, very dark, and quiet. The atmosphere turned gloomy. He really didn’t know what was going on until he could see a faint light appear in front of his face.

The light then widened to form a screen. As if someone was contacting him, he could see an inscription appear. It seemed like it was being typed right now.
