MMORPG: The Tales of Souls

The place where the group was going was far from the city and it was necessary to use mounts to get there faster.

Each of the members summoned their own mount. Liu Yang was wearing Little Blue, but he changed his color to brown and left a helmet and steel claws on his paws. The bear looked like a bear warrior.

The trip took almost a full day before the group arrived at the site. A tower in the middle of the desert, the tower was about five floors and was not very high, but it was very old.

Thousands of players were around the tower waiting to enter. The tower was very famous and difficult to complete, but the rewards were very good. Many groups of high-level players have already completed the tower and they have spread videos and photos about the rewards given in the tower.

When the other players saw the rewards that can be received inside the tower, all the other players also became interested. At least those who were at the permitted levels.

Looking at this scene, Liu Yang was curious about what the tower was. As he did not look at the forum information about the desert, he did not know the things that were happening at the site.

(What is this tower?) Liu Yang asked in the private chat of the four.

(The name of this tower is the Martyr's Tower. A five floors tower with many types of challenges inside, on each floor, a new challenge is shown. Each challenge is extremely difficult.)

(What is the minimum and maximum level to enter the tower?)

(The minimum level is 350 and the maximum 600)

(But why are you going with level 400 players? Isn't it very difficult to complete the tower?)

(Well ... The veterans asked us to try to complete the tower without their help, those who are already at level 500 cannot help us and need to go to the federation to help the guild.)

(I see ... I thought you would be together with level 499 members to complete the tower)

(How I can say it... Our group is made up of friends from both guilds, so it's easier to communicate than to complete the tower with strangers.)

(Ohh… I see...)

Liu Yang was already at the party of the group, he saw that they were all above 400 and less than 450. Each of them had above average equipment.

The group had balanced classes like warriors, healers, wizards, and archers, there were also bard and assassin. The group was well divided and had good combos of skills.

(How are we going to get into the tower?) Liu Yang was unable to see the entrance or anything like that because of the large number of players on the site.

Many of them were shouting in the chat looking for groups. The place was in great turmoil with players shouting everywhere.

Those who already had a group were waiting for their turn to enter the tower.

(We need to reserve the place in the queue. Only five thousand groups can enter at a time. But once you enter the tower, if you leave, you will have to wait a month to enter again. The tower is a special instance that can access one once a month.)

(Oh… This is interesting. What is the position of the group?)

(According to the group leader, we are number 8772 in the queue. We need to wait for other groups to leave for us to enter.)

(Aren't we too far?)

(Yes, but it is fast. Every minute or two a group enters the tower)

(But that equates to about a week. If the number is rounded up. I'm counting as if every minute a group enters the tower, but that can still vary)

(Yes. But that's when the leader scheduled our number. Now, we're already at number 27)

(You could have said that earlier, I was even scared of why you came here so early)

(We are going to walk to the entrance to the tower, there are fewer players because some NPCs are guarding the entrance. It seems that the heads of that desert did so to prevent players from crowding around the entrance and preventing passage.)

(The goddess is so good to us)

(What goddess?)

(The goddess Rose. She is the goddess of the hearts of the male members of our guild. But it is a pity that someone else has already taken her heart)

(I still prefer the hot and explosive temperament of the goddess Tears, she is the best of all)

(Rose is better because she is more friendly and sociable. Tears on Sky is a wild, hot-headed brute)

(...) Liu Yang was speechless when he heard his two friends talking, he thought it was funny. Because he was the boyfriend of the two girls. He chose not to comment and kept silent.

(Liu Yang, come on. Leave this two talking nonsense. The group is already going to the entrance. Our turn is almost here)

…

The groups at the front were already preparing to enter the tower. They can already see the entrance due to the distance.

The entrance was a stone monument the size of a normal person. To enter the tower, the player in the group needed to touch the statue to be teleported.

It took a few minutes for the group Liu Yang's turn to arrive.

(Let's go) The party leader spoke in the group chat. They were allowed to enter after showing the ticket.

The guards cleared the way for them to pass and go to the statue.

(Everyone touches the statue.) The leader ordered. He was the first to touch, then was another member. Liu Yang was the last one together with his friends.

When Liu Yang was near to touch the statue, a tone of the system played on his screen.

"Expulsion Vote - Unknown Player"

1 vote… 2 votes… 3 votes… 4 votes… 5 votes… 6 votes…

When the accountant reached six votes, Liu Yang was immediately expelled from Party. He stood there without understanding the situation, but he soon understood.

(Liu Yang, I apologize that you have to go through this, but... Our group members did it because they called in another guild member to help us.)

(Liu Yang, I'm sorry about that… We didn't know this was going to happen. They set it up when we were coming here without us knowing. They think you were going to steal some loot that belongs to them)

(Liu Yang, if we have another chance. We can play together. That was our fault and we apologize for that.)

Liu Yang's three colleagues sent apologies to him. They didn't really know this was going to happen to Liu Yang. If they knew, they wouldn't even have asked for him to join the group. The three called Liu Yang because he is the closest to them at school and they always did reports together.
