MONSTER MMORPG: Mayhem Online

"You really have forgotten your place after getting a new getup, you maggot!"

Zultan roared, trying to put up a brave front.

"Bro, is your dictionary limited to maggots and cockroaches only? I thought I hadn't seen you for almost two months, and you would have improved in your curses by now. Sheesh."

I said mockingly. I was honestly getting tired of this maggot, that maggot attitude. It was like talking to a kid. Was there a programming dysfunction when the developers created Zultan? His subordinates were smarter than him!

"What, what, what you maggot?"

Really dude?

"You're maggot, your siblings are maggots, your parents are maggots, your family is a maggot, your whole lineage is of maggots!"

I said in one breath and then took some heavy breaths to calm down. Zultan's greenish-grey skin started turning red hearing the insults to his whole family.

Apparently, his own kind of insult infuriated him more than he would have gotten from the normal kind.

"You– you fucker!"

"That's more like it, now say goodbye to nature."

I put my hand in front of him, and he looked a bit confused. I started channelling my mana around my hand as I used it to compress and revolve the air around my palm.

I turned the violent cyclone which was asking to be unleashed, into two bullet-sized chaotic balls of wind and mana, asking to be unleashed.

Both the Ether bullets were transparent in colour, with a tinge of very light purple. I formed guns with my finger, acting as if they were real as I shot the bullet from my fingertips.

"Pew! Pew!"

I let out fake gunshot noises, like how children act when they play the cop. The two [Ether Bullets], which were waiting to be released, immediately launched themselves midair as a confused Zultan awaited their arrival without any form of resistance.

Dut Dut!

These made two clean holes in both of Zultan's legs, soon flooding with blood.

"Ughh…"

The confused Zultan groaned, getting back his senses as all the standing orcs finally shouted while running towards me with their weapons brandished.

"Kill that fucker!"

"That bitch! How dare he attack our prince!"

"Skin that asshole alive!"

The orcs let out a row of curses, much more diverse than Zultan's, as they came running towards me.

I took out Eclipse and channelled my mana from its handle, letting go of the blade as a thick string of mana was attached to its handle like a rope.

[A new function of 'Mana Blades' has been learnt.]

Type: Active Skill

Cooldown: None

The one-metre rope-like extension to Eclipse was tied to my hands as I swung it around while dodging the orcs' attacks while dealing damage to them in the process.

The damage output was much lower than I had expected, maybe due to how it somehow just hit the orcs flatly instead of hitting from its edge.

'Hmm, this won't work, I guess.'

A large chump of my mana was continuously getting drained, so I didn't feel like experimenting anymore.

Cancelling out the elongated rope, I held Eclipse in one hand. On the other hand, I made another replica of it, putting them both at my front as I avoided and blocked the orcs' attack from the replica while stabbing, slashing and thrusting it into the orcs' faces, necks and stomachs.

There were only about a dozen orcs in total. Somehow their numbers were a lot lesser than they used to be. And the orcs seemed out of shape and tired, making it easier for me to attack them.

Slowly, they started turning into particles of ashes as they disappeared.

Yes, their bodies disintegrated into particles instead of just dying and still being there. Recently, I discovered that there was a toggle for [Metamorphosis], where I can turn on and off if I want to keep the bodies of people or monsters I kill.

p I almost felt like some weird maniac scientist who stores dead bodies for research, almost.

After some orcs died, the rest stopped attacking and warily stepped back.

"What? You guys are no fun!"

I said as I clicked my tongue. Gomchul immediately replied to my provocation as he ran towards me empty-handed, having his sword already broken by this dirtbag of a leader.

"I would kill just about anyone… anyone except for you."

I said as I ran and appeared at Gomchul's back, hitting him with the hilt of Eclipse.

I was expecting him to fall unconscious like in the anime and movies that I had watched, but he just scratched the back of his neck, a bit confused about why I did that.

'False advertisement! The 'one hit to the neck to make someone unconscious trick doesn't work!'

I felt a bit indignant because I wanted to avoid fighting Gomchul. It was because he was the one orc who never enjoyed, entertained or supported Zultan in his rogue and bullying activities, plus he was a very loyal person.

`Guess some good people must be defeated just because they work for the villain.'

Gomchul regained his senses and rushed towards me again, shouting at the top of his lungs.

As soon as he was just a few metres away from me, I arched my body back and pulled out a straight kick with as much force as possible, hitting Gomchul right under his chin, his head wobbling for a second before he fell on the ground with a thud.

"Such a gallant brother! He wouldn't kill anyone who doesn't do injustice!"

The redhead named Nameless seemed to have guessed why I knocked Gomchul out, but his way of speech was still concerning.

I slowly went near Zultan, who was crying out in pain, both his legs having been punctured from ether bullets.

I bent down slightly as I brought my face near the threatening orc's face.

"I'll butcher you maggot!"

Zultan shouted, and I covered my nose with my hand as I said mockingly.

"Man, your breath still stinks."

"Fuck you! Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you! I'll butcher your whole family! I'll **** your mothe–"

Zultan's tongue lay in my hands, cut apart from his mouth, which was flooding with blood, my other hand holding a bloodied Eclipse.

Uoowaaaaakkkk!

Ouuuu ouuuu!

He winced in pain, rolling around on the ground while covering his mouth with his hands, trying to utter something.

"Worthless wench."

These words escaped my mouth, sounding as cold and cruel as a yama's words.

How dare this dickhead bring my mother's name on his filthy tongue.

How dare he say that he would butcher my family.

I was well aware of the fact that Zultan couldn't do anything to my family from inside a game, yet his words had triggered a big mechanism inside me.

I call it my offence mechanism.

There are times when I don't want people to bring up some things because I would be hurt.

And there are some times when I don't want people to bring up some things because they would get hurt.

Taking my family's name in your threats lay in the latter.

Urghghhh!

Zultan kept rolling on the ground, struggling to say a word, only to keep bleeding.

I rubbed Eclipse on the furry pelt that Zultan was wearing, cleaning the blood off as I coldly said.

"Keep my family out of your mouth, you little twat. Now I will give you two options, bite what remains of your tongue and die in your own hands, or I will put my blade down your throat. Decide which one you want to go with."

I could clearly hear the people beside me take in cold breaths, even the orcs didn't dare to come near me at this moment.

For the first time ever, fear reflected in Zultan's eyes as he kept shaking his head horrifyingly, so fast that one could imagine it falling off.

"So the second option, it is."

I stood up, taking a handful of Zultan's hair as I dragged him up. Then, bringing his face near mine, I asked.

"Do you know what happens when a toad is stabbed?"

Zultan furiously shook his head, blood coming out of his mouth,

"The same thing that happens to everyone else."

I plunged Eclipse in his mouth, thrusting it more and more as Zultan kept struggling, trying to speak, but he couldn't talk with that mouth, or stand with those legs, all he could do was eat, eat Eclipse till only its hilt was out of his mouth,

Khoukhhh!

Zultan choked on the blade, his eyes opened wide in fear and resentment.

"It's still too small, isn't it?"

I turned my head towards the apostle of justice, Nameless, and asked.

"Uh…it… I-I don't know?"

He stuttered through his words, his forehead soaked in a cold sweat from the display of cruelty, just like everyone else who was present.

"I think so, though. This much isn't enough for you, right, Zultan? Here you go."

I started enlarging Eclipse by coating mana around its sharp edges, forming a mana blade around it.

Khoouuuuakk!

Before the blade could reach the size that I had commanded it to reach, Zultan's body disintegrated as it soon turned into particles of dust.

"Fucker died too easily, tsk."

I clicked my tongue, displeased that he died so soon, without me getting proper revenge on him.

Picking up the furry pelt that had been dropped as a reward, I cleaned Eclipse with it and threw the pelt away afterwards.

Can't keep things from a disgusting guy like Zultan, can I?

"What?"

I asked, and the players who had been caught trembled a bit as they furiously shook their heads.

"You guys into some S and M play?"

They shook their heads again.

"Then get the ropes off and run away. What are you waiting for?"

They finally seemed to have gained a bit of clarity as a guy untied himself and the others as all of them ran out of the forest. The remaining orcs didn't even try to stop them as they ran away without looking back.

The only remaining ones were me and two others. One was Nameless, and the other one was Gomchul who unconsciously lying on the ground.

Nameless awkwardly came near me, fidgeting with his hands, thinking if he should offer it for a handshake or not. After all, we had yet to introduce ourselves.

I extended out my hand and said.

"Hello, my name is Shura. It's nice to meet you."

"H-hello, I am called Nameless."

He immediately grabbed my hand when I offered it for a handshake, and then he looked at my face as if looking for something.

"What are you looking at? Just so you know, I am straight."

Nameless shook off his hands in a hurry as he said.

"I am straight too. I was checking if you were fine… after what just happened…"

He said, his words trailing off at the end.

"I am fantastic, as you can see. And Gomchul, you should stop acting now. All the others are gone."

I replied and then looked towards Gomchul, whose body flinched for a second before he started getting up, a surprised Nameless looking at him like he was a ghost.
