MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 317: Flow State



"N-no..." The First Sister jumped to her feet, and she felt suddenly weak with terror.

As she turned to Adam, she grabbed his arm and said, "P-please, help. Don't let me die!"

"No one can escape the power of the Killer Marbles." Adelram said with a smile. "It chips, shatters, and destroys!"

Adam looked at her with trembling eyes. "I saw it... your loss... beforehand..."

The First Sister didn't hear him, but instead she collapsed on the ground as her breathing got tight.

At that moment, spears that only she could see appeared in the air above her.

"D-don't."

She tried to beg for her life, but then those spears went through her body, and the last bits of her health reached rock bottom.

With tears in her eyes, she stopped breathing, and her eyes turned dull.

"Hahaha!" Gabriel jumped to the table and pointed at her. "How pathetic! Why bother begging when you lost fair and square?"

"Go back to your seat, Gabriel." Adelram said with a smile. "We still have the game to finish."

The four warlords turned to Adam. They started grinning, and their eyes looked like the pits of darkness.

"One ant down." Pandora giggled and looked at Adam. "One to go."

Adam held his head. It felt like it was spilling. However, suddenly the pain subdued and eventually disappeared altogether.

"Haaah..."

With a deep breath, Adam opened his eyes again, and his whole body started smoking!

It wasn't smoke out of a fire. It was smoke coming straight from his inner being. That smoke was light blue, and it looked like all his impurities were being purified from his body.

"Huff..." Adam's tongue stuck out of his mouth as he tried to catch his breath.

It was a strange state.

None of the warlords seemed to notice anything going on with him. After all, in their eyes, nothing had happened to him.

They couldn't see the strange smoke.

It was a state of strength that even the warlords hadn't reached. It was something that was never-before-seen among players as well.

Flow State!

Through the dawn of this world, it was something that only a handful of people had ever reached.

At that moment, something else also started to change inside his body.

Breaking through barriers!

With brute force, his level of Kiryoku broke through the barrier like it was nothing and reached fourth level!

It was already at the level of superhumans!

However, that wasn't the end of it all!

As if his whole being was making a joke out of the Three Powers, his mind pushed closer, and closer to the fifth level.

It wasn't stopping at mere level four!

And just like that, his mind broke into a whole new plane of existence.

Fifth level of Kiryoku achieved!

Snap, snap!

Adelram snapped his fingers in front of Adam and said, "Hello? Have you stopped daydreaming? Are you ready for the next round?"

"..." Adam looked straight at him and smiled. "Oh, yes. I am."

"Hmm..." Adelram could feel that something had changed within Adam.

Curious, he used his Kiryoku to take a peek at Adam's thoughts, but as soon as he tried that, he hit a wall.

His Kiryoku couldn't break that wall.

It was trying to go around it, over it and under it, but nothing worked.

Adam's mind was fortified beyond any measure!

'What the hell? I can't read his emotions anymore?' Adelram looked genuinely surprised. 'What's going on with him?'

Adam took his marble, and said. "Shall we roll?"

"Sure." Adelram narrowed his eyes, and then everyone rolled their marbles to the center of

the table.

"14!" Adelram shouted.

"3," Kol said.

"1," Gabriel said.

"15," Adam said with a deep gaze.

"Who will you attack?" Adelram asked with a smile.

"Gabriel, I'll attack you." Adam said.

"Bastard!" Gabriel gritted his teeth.

Without further ado, both rolled their marbles to the center of the table. They came into

contact and stopped.

"17!" Gabriel laughed.

"5..." Adam whispered with shaking eyes.

"Hahahaha!" All the warlords started laughing. "Goodbye, ant!"

Pandora giggled with ridicule.

Adelram mocked him with a laugh.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Gabriel grinned like a child.

Kol smirked.

Thousands of spears stabbed through Adam and made him look like a porcupine.

"N-no..." Adam's tears rolled down his eyes. "This can't be happening. Is this how it all

ends?"

At that moment, everything turned dark and cold. It was like he was taking a dip in an icy

abyss.

"No..."

...

Adam slammed his eyes open, and he was back at the table, the four warlords seated around.

The seat next to him was still empty as the First Sister was gone.

'So, choosing Gabriel will mean my death.' Adam thought with a scoff.

He used Future Sight!

He could now use it freely as he was on level five in the Kiryoku. He started to unlock it during the match, which caused his head-splitting headache!

"Shall we roll?" Adam asked again.

"Sure." Adelram narrowed his eyes, and everyone rolled their marbles to the center of the

table.

"14!" Adelram shouted.

"3," Kol said.

"1," Gabriel said.

"15." Adam said with a deep gaze.

He had already seen this happen with his Future Sight, so nothing with this surprised him.

However, now he had to make a choice.

Gabriel was no-no.

These marbles already had their "designed" number that would appear with the next throw.

So, nothing was changeable.

Gabriel was going to get 17 again, and Adam's number was going to be 5.

'I need to hope either Adelram or Kol gets below 10 score.' Adam said with a frown.

"Adelram, I choose you!"

"Heh, will I get to kill the second human as well?" Adelram grinned.

Both rolled their marbles to the center of the table, and numbers appeared as soon as they

stopped.

"13!" Adelram laughed.

"5..." Adam frowned.

The warlords started laughing.

...

The future's images cracked and shattered.

Adam looked at the marble in the center of the table. It still showed number 15. The warlords

were waiting for him to choose someone to attack.

'Only Kol left. Cursed.' Adam gritted his teeth. 'Is my luck really this bad?'

"Who will you attack?" Adelram hurried him.

"Kol, I'll attack you." Adam said as he stared straight at the silent warlord.

"..." Kol frowned.
