Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Ibro found this quite familiar. If there was a city on the same scale as Apidon Mythic City, then would there be also smaller cities like Shonty? Would he find veteran players like Roliv? 

He held that orb in hand as he stored it in his ring. He had to go there as his real enemy was there. He needed to gather some Intel about the real situation there, who knows, he might find some help. 

Now, he had to deal with these old fogies. Ibro waited till all of them had joined the game world with their real bodies before he said in a calm tone:

"Now, it's time for all of you to listen carefully to me…"

"What did you do maniac! You are lunatic! I would never serve a mad person li…"

Ibro had his full of this old man. Once he opened his mouth, Ibro used his alpha stone to control this old man omega stone. 

Once Ibro's handgrip held control of this man omega stone, his body was paralyzed at once. He looked with disbelief and horror towards Ibro, who sighed. 

He didn't intend to kill this man, but if he didn't do it he would let a troublemaker free. Ibro didn't flinch when he killed that man. 

The old man's death was so sudden and all of those around him retreated at a fast pace as if he was infected with plaque.

"I only have one word to all of you… either submit to me or die."

Ibro's threat with the actual subsequences in front of them made their bodies shiver. 

They knelt down one by one on the ground asking for forgiveness and swore allegiance. Ibro wasn't interested in their oaths; he asked what really mattered to him:

"Tell me everything about your positions in the real world."

Ibro stayed there for an hour listening to their stories about their families and positions in the real world. Ibro wanted the whole players to follow him, but now he had another perfect approach. 

After all of them finished, Ibro knew that these people were nearly on hold of 30% of their real world. The one who died at his hands was the leader of a huge group in the real world. 

If he was with them, then Ibro would hold at least 60% of the whole players. Ibro wouldn't let this chance left his palace, so he ordered:

"You go to do two things. The first is to gather more leaders from your real-world and bring them to me. The second mission is to send a message to that dead man's family and relatives. 

Tell them I held him captive and if they wanted him free then they needed to come and negotiate with me."

The players exchanged silent glances, while Ibro added:

"As you saw, I can control your bodies and kill you without moving a finger. I will monitor every action you do. If any of you betrayed me, then I will make him follow this fool old man's steps. 

Don't test my patience as I have none. Now scram away, I will wait for your return in two days maximum. Don't disappoint me."

Ibro then waved his hand towards them. Gorsag moved with his men to move them out of the palace. Once they exited, Ibro looked to Gorsag as he instructed:

"Follow them and report to me if they did something strange. By the way, if news comes from the northern battle about these monsters, tell me about it at once."

Gorsag felt that Ibro had to do something important, so he asked:

"Where would you be my king?"

"I will be right here, also spread the word in the city that I will give a little present to the citizens soon."

Gorsag understood that Ibro was going to cultivate. What he didn't understand was the last part, what presents? He looked in doubt towards Ibro who didn't bother to say any more words. 

Ibro turned and left the hall towards the second floor. There, he found himself in a nice room with a long balcony. He sat on the floor while asked the system:

'System, I feel something isn't right.'

'What do you mean by that? There is no danger near you. I can confirm that with certainty.'

Ibro looked to the horizon through his balcony. He knew something was wrong, but he couldn't put his hands on it. 

He felt like his enemy was tightening the rope around his neck. His senses never went wrong. He ordered the system:

'I want to upgrade the divinity function, and also I want to unlock all the functions available now.'

The system delayed for a moment before saying:

'Why do I feel like you are preparing for a huge war?'

Ibro didn't know how to respond to the system question. He didn't have any physical evidence on his worries, but he always trusted his senses.

'I just had a hunch about something bad is about to happen.'

The system then suggested:

'Why don't you use the remaining divinity chances that you didn't use yet?'

'That's what I'm planning to do after I upgrade it.'

'You are mistaken here. When you upgrade the divinity function, it will refresh again. So, it's best if you use all your available chances now and then refresh it.'

Ibro found it an interesting idea. He also figured out another matter, the system is trying to guide him properly this time. He didn't think the system would do that without any gain.

'Fine, I recall I still have two tiers I can use, right?'

'Yes, the white and red tiers.'

'Ok, use them now.'

'White great divination tier had been used. 10 SPR stones have been deducted from your account. Red great divination tier had been used. 

50 SPR stones have been deducted from your account. The two divinations have been started. The two divinations have found some news about recent events related to you. Do you want to hear the two divinations now?'

Ibro replied automatically:

'Sure, tell me both of them.'
