Versatile: Alternate World

With the ticket to Sandurk secured, the remaining players went back to whatever they are doing before they participated in the selection.

"What are you guys going to do?" Harmless Sparrow asked.

"I will go log out for now since I still have something to do back home," Dolly said to Harmless Sparrow.

"Well, in that case, let me send you a message. Since we are comrades in arms after the selection, it's a good idea to stay in contact with each other!" Harmless Sparrow proposed.

"I don't mind. I will be glad to accept it."

Then, after she sent the request to Dolly and the latter accepted it, she turns to look at me.

"What about you?"

"I have to go to the market and buy some necessities for the expedition then log out after."

"Is that so? Then let's get to be friends with each other before we go separate ways!"

She sent me a friend request but I decided to decline it.

"It's fine. You don't need to waste your time sending me a friend request. I always turn the call function of the friend's slots anyways so I don't think you can even use it to call me."

"Uh..." Harmless Sparrow is speechless.

"Hey, Bladeheart, what are you doing denying her like that?"

"I don't see any kind of problem with that, is there?"

"Don't worry about it, Dolly. It's fine if he didn't accept it. Anyways, let's meet again later?"

"Sure!" Dolly happily said.

We bid farewell to each other before going separate ways. The reason I didn't bother to accept the friend request of Harmless Sparrow is that she is currently famous right now and will gain much recognition from the people. I don't necessarily need her help but I am not going to need it. It might be rude behavior but if I wanted to avoid messing up with the timeline too much, then having Harmless Sparrow interact less on me, the closer her achievements in the other timeline will be in the current.

Just like what I said to Harmless Sparrow, I headed to the market to buy some materials I needed for the expedition. The materials I needed are not the the materials for making potions but for making magic scrolls.

The magic scrolls are expendable items any players can use even with the difference of class. The effects of the magic scrolls depends on the contents of the scroll whether it is an offensive magic skill, defensive magic skill, or even recovery skills. The most popular scrolls are the teleportation scrolls and the recovery scrolls that can invoke healing skills when used.

Of course, to be able to craft magic scrolls, you need to acquire the EX Job quest of Scribe and to acquire it, you need to arrive in Sandurk. Also, the special paper material needed to create the scrolls, the Papyrus, are only dropped and can be bought only in Sandurk and nowhere else, making it a priority for any players wanting to craft a magic scroll.

The other materials for beginner scrolls are on sale in any market since it is a common ingredient which is why, even if there is no papyrus for sale, the ingredients exist. Now, its only a waiting game until the teleport scroll to Sandurk arrives.

...

While Manato is busy preparing before departing to Sandurk, the first guy who got eliminated in the event wrecked his room and punched the wall using his fists until it starts to bleed.

"Why! Why is everything not working according to plan?! I should have not been killed that easily! WHY!"

He grabs the phone and saw that the others have texted him. He brought all the people he could think as his trusty assistants from the guild to complete the event and secure a seat to the expedition with only limited players applicable to participate. Unfortunately for him, he was the first one to drop out after the beginning of the battle. It was a single strike and he still remembered that his high HP fell immediately to zero without being able to see who killed him.

"Let's see who else managed to get the ticket to participate."

He opened his phone and read the messages from the others. However, what he didn't expect to see is the messages of everyone's messages.

-Screw you Kazuki! If you didn't die immediately, we would have managed to remain in the game!

-You just locked us out on this opportunity! I shouldn't have bothered going with your plan and just stick to normal farming!

All of the messages he got are all curses and angry sentences from his party members. Reading all of those, he grip the phone hard before slamming it on the floor and frantically stomping it in anger.

"I can't accept this. I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS OUTCOME!"

He punched the wall again and despite the pain he felt, his anger is much more overwhelming everything.

"Ah... that's right. I remember now... That player who killed me... is also the player who stole my first clear of the dungeon! He is the bugger who keeps on foiling my plans!"

With his eyes burning in anger, he clenched his fist and grinned like a maniac.

"I WILL MAKE SURE YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET YOUR PEACEFUL GAMING BACK AGAIN!"

...

Once I logged out from the game, I checked the status of the siblings using the holophone as I can see whether they are still playing or not by checking the Holophone's connection to the Reality Verse. Seeing that the two are still playing, I decided to leave them alone for now.

I wanted to jog and check out the effect of the passive and see what changed in my body. However, the moment I opened the door, I saw a guy appear on the door. He was a little bit taller than me and looks a little bit like a doctor. He is squinting his eye and looked at me in the eye. Behind him is someone in a wheelchair. I can't see who the person is as this guy is blocking the entire view for me to check who it was.

"Are you perhaps, the new owner of this house?"
