Chapter 7 - Clashing worlds

With a jolt Ben woke up, his body still in pain but lesser now then before. Delling dazed and confused Ben looks around at the destruction still present all over. Eventually his eyes meet Kate's as she hugs him

"Thank goodness you're alright" Kate says,

almost starting to tear up. "I thought you left us."

Ben hugging her back comforts her while also looking twords the now broken down houses that line the street. The stench of blood is still prevalent, a reminder of what the invaders did the them.

"I'll kill, them I swear it" Ben says as he rises to his feet. "You guys need to get out of here, Kate please take them to the outskirts just before the back portion of the wall were we always hang out at. I want to know what's going on. This window in front of us. These, quest. It was something to do with the players that destroyed are home"

"What, are you an idiot what can you do. Just leave with the rest of us. They didn't seem interested in us anyway." Kate says in a pleading manner.

"I don't know but I feel we will eventually die if we do nothing at all. And look what they did to are home. I can't just sit by while those fuckers go after the masters. I don't know what the fuck is going on but something is changing and I need to figure it out before we all get left behind"

"Ok" Kate says as she gathers the children and survivors leading them to the outskirts.

Ben starts to make his way down the street. Blood and ash mix together to create a terrible smell in the air. Bodies of people he once knew lay on the stone risen path. He thinks to himself how someone could even manage to do this much. And what the quest in his window means when it says protect your people from the other worldly invaders. They just look like barbaric people to him.

Deciding to open his window again he sees a plinking icon of what someone in there world would recognize as mail.

"Hello, welcome to the game of Worlds Order you have been chosen as the 1,984,729,304th player across all worlds. Good luck"

With a mix of emotions he exits the message and moves to his stat board. A new black star, representing new abilities,traits,bond, and stats, sits next to the word Trait, under it reading, "Gods Chosen, Magic ability, Fighting ability, and Cursed sacrifice."

Ben looks at these "traits" trying to find any more information though unable to see any further then there names. He's clearly unnerved by the last trait he seems to possess. "Cursed sacrifice, that's not ominous at all" we whispers to himself.

Ben closes the window and continues walking down the dark and sh filled streets. Holding in the pain and anger he feels because of what lay befor him. He wants to throw up just by looking at the gruesome scene. Only hoping Kate and what's left of the survivors got out of the community.

The screams an pleas of guards sound in front of him. He dashes behind some broken stones and carts at the side of the road. In the distance he sees a tall man clad in a deep black and blue uniform. He holds a guard by his neck. Threatening to close his hand at any second. The guards face trebles in fear as he stars his death in the eyes. The man throws him to the ground. The gaurd stumbling back into a tree try's to run. Before he could move a muscle muscle more the man clad in black pulled out his sword and swung. It wasn't particularly fancy and it didn't look powerful, but a second later the man's entire body was cut in half. Not only that but the 6 trees surrounding him.

"What the fuck" Ben thought to himself as he just witnessed a man cut down a gaurd plus 6 entire trees. He looked shockingly at the man. Even when he had long gone Ben stitched the remains of the gaurd and shuddered at the fact he has to find a way to fight these people.

"How" he thought to himself as he picked up the guards cracked blad. "How" he thinks as he raises the blade to the cut tree line. "Is that even possible to beat. I don't even have a bond. How can I beat someone who can cut down a forest."

"No, I have to find a way. I didn't come here just to turn around because I'm scared. I have to do this" he says holding the blade back. Which all his might he swings the blade. Crack though the blade may be, it was still made by a respectable craftsman. Weather it was the last words of a broken sword or the strength of a broken man. What happened next marked the true beginning of the story that would send worlds crashing together.

The tree. strong and tall as it stood, not rotten or broke in anyway. Now lay there on the ground cut in two. As Ben looked on shocked. The gleaming sword crumbling in his hand. "How did I do that" those words ringing in his head, His blue window apears with a star next to his ability.
