It became a game of hide and seek for Shen and Volt's group. He was hiding, but thanks to the game design where there was only one bridge to cross to the hunting spot.

Shen could not hide from the group even though he tried to bore them for not crossing the bridge for half an hour. The six of them were just waiting across the bridge. They seem to know that there was only one bridge to cross the river.

The bug was still there or maybe the Super Computer Olympus did not take it as a bug. The frustration of getting killed ten times at the start of the game and the bug irked him off.

'I just want to achieve my goal and exploit the bug for my advantage. That group starts to get on my nerves!' It was a lie that if Shen was not annoyed that these six people kept bullying.

He thought they would stop after killing him like four to five times. But they just did not stop. It had been an hour, they did not go hunting but they were camping across the bridge just for him.

"Should I log off instead?" He wanted to give up, this was more than enough. However, he was eager to use the bug to his advantage. This was his chance to be the fastest. No magic and more status points to add into Agility.

"Let's try this for the last time," Shen decided to go for the last attempt. He went out to the city, the same road, the same gate, the same guards. He became the attention of the guards, but after five to six times, the guards stopped paying him attention.

His shoulder dropped a level lower as he walked toward the death bridge. He was killed seven times on the bridge hence he names this Death Bridge. After a few times, the bystanders tried to help him out, but after a few words, they left him be.

"Here I am, return to my Death Bridge where I will most likely die again," he stepped onto the bridge again. Halfway he could see Volt and his friends were waiting for him.

Volt was talking by himself, most likely he talked to the stream chat. Shen could see a big smile and happiness in Volt's eyes. Most likely people donated to the stream for killing him many times.

The other fives were also chatting with each other, smiling and laughing by themselves. The group was standing on the right side of the bridge.

Shen walked to the left side. He spotted a group of three heading in the same direction too. The group of three were friends playing together as they looked so close. He followed the group and hid behind them.

He kept looking toward Volt and his friends. They did not notice him, 'This is it. I can pass them this time.' He was about to step onto the other side of the bridge until he heard Volt's voice. He could instantly recognize the voice because he had been hearing the voice for an hour.

Shen did not look toward the voice. He turned to the left and ran as fast as he could, 'They are not that good, they just win the number. The archer is not that accurate, serpentine move!'

He wiggled to the left and right as he ran. An arrow passed from the right and pierced the ground ahead of him. More and more arrows passed him, he dodged all the shots.

Shen ran followed the river. He looked back to see whether the group was chasing him or not. Unfortunate for him, the group had an unrelenting spirit. They did not give up even though the distance was not getting shortened.

'Damn! Don't you guys have anything else to do? Just play the game so I can play the game too!' He screamed inside. He tried to reason with these people, but it was useless. It was as if he was talking to pigs. They were just yoinking some nonsense back at him, something like justice. He was not a criminal, justice their asses!

Shen kept running with the hope Volt and his friends would give up. Running, and running. He could see his stamina bar was dropping down, he was slowing down so did Volt and his friends.

He did not give up, he would not let these random people ruin his chance to achieve his dream. Running and running, that was what was on his mind until despair came for him.

God Burial stopped him from running. A big crevice that he could not see on the other side was right in front of him. The bottomless gorge unfolded before his eyes, the stream fell into the God Burial.

He was about to turn to the right, but an arrow hit his right thigh. He crashed to the ground, but he did not give up. Alas, the bullies were caught up. They immediately surrounded him so he could not run away.

"Where are you going, Noob?" Volt was laughing hard, "Do you think you can escape from justice? You should never play this game, noob! You are ruining our game, just quit already!" He yelled at him.

Shen stared at the man and his friends too. For the first time that he harbored a grudge against someone over a game. He was trying to imprint these faces, and he was making sure to pay them back later, by two or even three folds.

'I am not going to let them enjoy killing me,' with those thoughts, he turned around and jumped into the bottomless gorge. He was free-falling into the God Burial. The thrill of falling into the gorge was fantastic, but he did not want to feel dying from falling within such height.

While his body was still falling, Shen logged out. In a flash, he returned to the gaming pod. He was about to turn off the gaming pod out of frustration, but his hand stopped midway.

"Let's see how famous this Volt dude is," he opened the browser and typed "Volt". A search appeared on a streaming site. He opened the stream and found Volt's channel.

The guy was still streaming with 5189 views, "Did you look at the noob just now? He just gives up and jumps into the cliff. That coward does not deserve to play this game…" Volt kept talking shit about him, and they planned to camp the bridge for him again.

"Wait for me, yes, wait there. I will never come back until later, you pieces of sh*t!" He cursed them as he checked Volt's channel. The guy had 78k followers with less than 1k average views. Thanks to him, his view for today's stream spiked up to 5k views.

Shen closed the stream and made a call to his doctor for an appointment instead. The call connected and his Doctor immediately picked up the call. A male voice came from the other side.

—Why are you calling? Your check-up schedule is next week…

There was a short pause there.

—Don't tell me you overwork your right knee again?

Shen told his doctor what happened yesterday.

—Hah… I am tired of scolding you…

The male voice sighed out after hearing what happened.

—Fortunate for you, Tribe Online just went online today so many of my patients canceled their appointment for that game. Come to the hospital at three.
