A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

After noticing that the distance is now more than close enough for him to jump. Ezekiel pushed his feet off the ground and runs at full speed towards the watchtower. 

"Move aside!!" Ezekiel shouted at Alex since he does not have the same stats as Alex. Stats that let her jump to a 15 meters watchtower with ease. He needs to gather enough momentum to reach the top. He wasn\'t even sure if he can get to the top. Ezekiel then planted his staff on the ground and propel himself up. 

Some of the surrounding players looked at Ezekiel in surprise, but as soon as they recognize him. They looked away and focused on the scene in front of them. The players stared at the goblins marching towards the village with awe. The number is so unbelievable that the goblins looked like an army that can topple even a city in its march.

Ezekiel was going up fast, but just as he was about to reach the edge of the roof. He started losing speed, and then gravity pulled him downards. 

"Ah, Sh*t help!!" Ezekiel cursed as he reached out his hand, trying to grab on to anything in the watchtower to stop his fall.

Hearing Ezekiel\'s curse behind her, Alex turned around to help him. "Tsk, so weak." Alex bent forward and grabbed hold of Ezekiel\'s hand. 

Alex then pulled Ezekiel up with a single pull mustering all her strength to throw him up in the air. 

"F*ck!! Hey!!" Ezekiel cursed at her the moment Alex pulled him up with ruthlessness. That made him flip through the air and lose his balance.

BANG!!!

Ezekiel landed on the roof with his butt so hard that it made the watchtower rock a little. 

"What did you do that for!?" Ezekiel asked as he looked up at Alex standing beside him. Even though he feels a little pain because of the pain reduction, he still felt dizziness in her head.

"You\'re so slow... Look in front of you; it\'s amazing," Alex uttered, changing the topic immediately. Throwing Ezekiel up in the air was her revenge for him for bragging about his luck all this time.

"What is so amazing about it..." When Ezekiel turned to look in front. He realized why Alex is excited and the quest to hold off the goblins for an hour and not eliminate them. There is no way they could hold off this wave for more than an hour. How much more eliminating it. 

"It is horrifying, yet it makes my heart pound and blood boil in anticipation. And it is fantastic because I can have fun with the goblins until I am satisfied." She thought that this is going to be a boring battle, but when she saw the army of goblins, Alex can\'t wait to fight. 

"Are you really a gir..." Before he can even finish what he is going to say, Alex already smacked his head with her palm.

"I am not weird!"

Ezekiel looked at her with doubt. "I did not even say that you are weird..." 

Alex looked away from him and concentrated on the goblins in her sight. 

"How many goblins do you think we will fight?" Alex asked with curiosity. 

She is resisting the urge to jump in there and start the fight already. But Alex kept her composure, because she knew that she can\'t handle the number of goblins with her current strength alone. 

"20 thousand goblins, and they will arrive in 10 minutes."

"Probably around 20 thousand goblins, and based on their distance from us and the speed of their march. It will probably take them 10 minutes before they arrive." 

Ezekiel and Lumiere answered at the same time.

"Huhhh??"

"What happened??" Ezekiel asked, noticing Alex\'s confused look. 

"Lumiere answered my question the same time you answered." 

"Your guide A.I.?" Ezekiel thinks that Alex\'s A.I. is different from his A.I.; it\'s like it has a mind of its own.

"Yes... but I did not ask her; it just answered on its own, and you even have the same answers." She was startled when Lumiere suddenly answered her out of the blue. 

"Your guide A.I. is remarkable. Mine doesn\'t even talk if I don\'t talk with it first." He doesn\'t know why she has a different A.I. than him, but it is still a good thing because Alex\'s A.I. seems smarter than his. 

"By the way, did you know people in this world call our A.I. guardian spirits?" 

"Yes, my instructor told me a while ago." Seeing Alex pouting on the side Ezekiel immediately changed the topic. "Anyway, back to our current situation. If I am right, then this battle is going to be hard." Twenty thousand goblins are too much for the one thousand players in the village. Even if there are outstanding ones with the same strength as him, then at most, they can kill 100 goblins.

"It is not fun if it\'s easy. Well, hard is also not fun sometimes, but it is challenging though. And overcoming challenging things is very satisfying in the end." That is why her father always beat her up whenever they sparred. After she loses to him, he will always ask her if she is frustrated. And of course, Alex is always frustrated her father\'s regenerative power is unbeatable. 

Then her father will teach her that it\'s good for to feel frustrated. Because frustation can become her drive to become better in the future. \'Frustration from a loss is a sign that you didn\'t want to lose\' that\'s what her father always teach her. 

That is why her father always gives her the challenge she needs for the past 2 years. 

"Anyway, let\'s go down first. It seems that the people are now gathering below us. We need to plan out and organize everyone first for this defense to work." Ezekiel suggested to Alex after seeing the goblins marched in an organized manner. This indicates that something must be commanding the goblins in this battle. And suppose they really fight in an unorganized manner. With everyone unfamiliar with the people they are fighting. In that case, they will lose this battle in less than 30 minutes.

"Someone needs to lead everyone in this battle..."
