Sword art Online ( the Soul Takers)

31
The world blurred and I stood the main hall, buddies me were the two children, their mother, as well as their pet dog.

Quickly several men so rounded us and helped the woman stand, carried the children off with their mother.

It had only been a day at best but as I turned I could see the look of frustration Raffael had.

He just handed me several sheets of paper and gave me a look that spoke of nothing but trouble.

As I looked at what the documents had written on them I felt my heart speed up. The feelings I had were a combination of rage, confusion, and disbelief.

There are a total of twenty towns, fifteen small villages and three cities on the first floor.

Each one is either a new settlement, that has monsters running around it, a village that grows crops or herds animals and a city that does what city does.

We were expected to somehow get the help of the N.P.C's in building both the roads that would connect all of them.

From what the papers said, it was due to the fact that the game already had dirt roads connecting each one. All we had to do was make sure that walls were built on each side of them.

Something easier said than done, people don't work for free.

"It looks like they plan to ground us here for a while," Raff said as he looked at me.

"Flipp the pages over." He told me.

As I read what the back of the papers said, I couldn't help but want to hit something.

Everyone that had been revived was to help in this, no exceptions. They were meant to eliminate any threat that might show up or help with the building of the roads, however, should any of them refuse. Then disciplinary actions should be taken.

"The papers were sent to every player, there isn't a single person that isn't a respawn that hasn't received a copy," Raff said as he handed me an envelope with my name on it.

Even as I opened the envelope I knew what I would find and sure enough, it was an exact copy of the papers Raff gave me.

"What the hell do they think," I said before Raff cut me off.

"Those kids, young or full grown adults, selfishly killed themselves. When the rest of us fought for our lives, everyone that was seen fighting for their lives and during was already taken when they revived."

"Dante, there is already a division, one that few people will argue against," Raff said to me, his voice was cold and gave the hint of simply not caring.

"They will fight back," I said.

"And accomplish what? Die over and over again, Dante even thence kids are stronger than any of them." Raff said as he looked at the entrance of the mansion.

We both stood there not saying anything, trying to understand what was happening.

"..... It's like they are trying to keep people occupied." I said to Raff.

" Yeah looks like it finally set in. They are trying to get people comfortable with the idea of never returning home." Raff said as he exhaled.

After another moment Raff placed his hand on my shoulder and signaled for me to follow him.

"The worker's graves everything you sent us and began to fill up the storage closet and the refrigerator,"

"We have a refrigerator?" I interrupted Raff.

"Yeah, it was news to me too," Raff answered me with a smile on his face.

"I was thinking that if we make the walls around the hight of my shoulders, it should discourage any animal from attacking us," Raff said as we walked.

"Raff, why are we even listening to them? I mean the only reason we didn't join the cleaners, was we didn't want to get involved in stuff like this again." I asked Raff.

"To be honest I want to tell those peaches of shit, to shove all their crap back up their collective asses. But nearly every guild agrees with them, not only that if we are going to live here we need to secure our homes."

"So like it or not, we're going to listen to them for now. At least until they ask for something truly unreasonable." Raff said as he stopped at an opened door and pointed inside.

When I looked into the room, I saw several children playing with toy cars- dolls and figure painting.

I didn't say anything after that.
