110 A fistfight in a world of magic (1/2)
According to my knowledge, the plot would likely be about a misdeed done by this group of NPCs. The mob of angry players make it seem like they committed something horrendous while in truth they just stole their lunch.
The dialogue will be full of emotions and be left vague to get my hopes up before the truth gets unveiled and I lose every interest in the subject whatsoever. Every time I try to think about the situation as much as I can and the situation at hand is nothing more than a childish tantrum.
I just can not understand the set of values these people have. If they put so much emphasise on honourable conduct, then why do they act like absolute pricks to NPCs?Are they suppressing their inner asshole in front of others, only to lash out on things they see below them? They are just as hypocritical as me.
Obligatory not everyone, but enough people to see the trend. Their mundane and boring lives coupled with a position of absolute powers will bring out the worst in them. For claiming to be superior then their human ancestors they behave oddly similar.
It is always the same, the logic I got used to in my former world just does not cut well with these self-absorbed players. I am still thinking about these players as capable humans wielding magic power.
But most of them did not deserve that level of evaluation, they were self-centred and egoistic and all of their feelings clouded their judgement. They are letting their feelings get the best out of them. Anger, pride and a false sense of honour all cause them to end up dead sooner or later.
My approach did not fit their character. I should not appease their egos but crush them by sheer force. I did not have this option previously but now I can use Tom to my advantage. I could kill them with my strength over and over again but that would deter them, rather it would cause them to get agitated.
But strip them of their honour and suddenly they are naked. Their true character is just as rotten as mine.

Instead of letting them come towards us in their imposing fashion, I will just go to them first. I will not let them dictate the course of the situation,
Since they have started moving its time it is time to welcome the guests.
After standing up I slowly walked to the nearest player who stopped in his tracks as he saw me approaching. But before I even got a chance to speak, I was cut short by him.
” Get out of the way”, a threat right off the back. And here I thought we could have been best buddies if not for these dire circumstances.
The threat would have been somewhat credible if the person uttering it was at least taller then me
” And who are you to give someone like me, orders?” Trying to use authority is not very wise if you can not back it up.
” A lowly human should know its place” A cheap provocation to keep the moral high ground. Denouncing your opponent has always been effective, but let me take it right back at you.
” Let me repeat myself. Why does this lowly human have to listen to someone who is beneath him?”
And that hit right in the mark. He was shaking and angered by my behaviour. It must be the first time in his life, that he was treated that way. With his handsome face and noble bearing, no one would dare to make fun of him.
” What did you say?” Oh, scary, I now have to repeat a sentence both of us heard.
I walked right into his face before I continued to speak.
” How does someone as lowly as you even dare to speak to me?” Kid, this is not something you can win by just spouting meaningless threats without any substance. If you want to spout threats this is how you do it.
” You better have a good reason I am wasting my precious time just by talking to you.”
” HOW DARE YOU? YOU INSOLENT VILE CREATURE YOU DESERVE DEATH.” Losing control of one's emotions and the rationality goes straight of the window.
One last push and he will snap. Though I would have prefered to get the reason for their arrival here out of his mind. Sadly the lack of control over his emotions made it impossible. Time to put an end to this meaningless talk.
” Come back once you can have learned to keep your composure. Otherwise, do not dare to show me your face ever again.”
I turned around and walked back. Of course, I did not think, that he would take that last sentence lightly and reflect on every word I have said to him. Such a development was as disappointing as it was unlikely.
These kinds of people will do everything to vent their frustrations and his first instinct will be enough to use it as a justification for later on. The magic that landed on my back did not deal with any damage to me.
NPCs can not be harmed if they are in the city and luckily I am one. I had never thought myself to be a special monster like the Observer once said. A monster can not be recruited by those players.
After I had received my justification it was time to incapacitate this fellow. I turned around without saying a simple word and punched him right into the stomach. Just for good measure, I broke one of his legs as well. Even though he can not hurt me that, does not mean that he could not run away.
Despite the pain he felt, he still stared at me full of hatred. His rage had not lessened as he was continuing to threaten me as I had picked him up. I was so close to getting rid of his teeth and tongue to make him shut up, but I am not a bad host, so I let his rude remarks slide.
After all, it would be more effective to do this in front of the rest of his groups to underline my sincerity. The other players had not stopped while I had taken care of this small matter and had advanced towards the group of NPCs that had finished their glorious feast.
Those NPCs were cleary unwell after seeing the group of players coming into their vision. The rudy bunch did not even dare to raise their eyes and lowered their head in shame. Their ability to act is top-notch. If I did not know better I would have bought it. But this level of remorse will be not even remotely enough to quell all of their anger.
