MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 309: Inside Snow Globe



Heavy feet.

Adam made his way up the stairs that led to the second island, but he was utterly spent. The fight had taken a toll on his body, and he could barely move his feet up and down.

'What to do?' He wondered as he made his way up. 'If Rawkshawn really is the weakest of the warlords, what chance do I have against the others?'

The thought made him grit his teeth.

'I don't know much about some of the warlords, but based on Alastor's words, Gabriel might be someone I can reason with.

'Well, who am I kidding?

'Gabriel sounds like he has a few screws loose.

'If Rawkshawn is the most reasonable one out of them all, I am going to lose it!'

At last, after another ten minutes of struggling to make his way up the stairs, he reached the doorsteps of the second island.

The door was closed with the four chains tightly wrapped around the doorknob.

Without further ado, he pushed open the door and entered the island, but he was immediately greeted with cold wind.

The island looked crude, like one big block of rock, with no vegetation or signs of life.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

However, in the distance, there was a man sitting on the ground, his back facing Adam, and it looked like he was doing something with his hands.

'He must be Gabriel.' Adam gulped as he took his first step towards the unknown man.

Gabriel looked at the small object in his hands and smiled.

It was a snow globe.

Inside, a small village stood still, encapsulated in a winter wonderland. The village was strangely enough standing on top of a mountain.

The mountains around the sides were very steep and covered in thick layers of snow, making it seem as though the village was floating in the clouds.

Anyone with brains on their heads wouldn't dare to live there, no matter how beautiful it was. It was simply too dangerous.

He shook the snow globe gently and watched as the snowflakes fell, covering the tiny houses and trees in a blanket of white.

"Beautiful." Gabriel smiled softly.

In that moment, his ears perked up as if he heard something, and he then raised his hand.

"Don't move whoever you are."

Adam came to a stop. A sudden chill attacked him. A strange feeling attacked him, which he couldn't shake off.

Gabriel turned around and looked straight at Adam.

"A human male. Perfect. I needed someone like you."

"?!" Adam frowned.

At that moment, Gabriel pointed the snow globe at Adam and smiled.

Like a vacuum, Adam started to get sucked inside the snow globe!

"W-wait!" Adam screamed. "I want to talk to you!"

Gabriel didn't listen, and soon the human male got sucked inside the snow globe. "Perfection!"

...

Swoosh!

Adam appeared in the sky, falling down into a world of swirling snow, but before falling to his death, his wings sprouted and greatly slowed down his fall.

He softly landed on the snow, right in the middle of the snowy village that looked very cozy. Most of the wooden huts seemed empty as there was no light coming from anywhere.

Except from one hut.

A wooden cottage at the core of the village had smoke rising from the chimney and warm light spilling out of the windows.

It looked to be the heart of the village and the only place that felt alive.

"Damn it..." Adam looked to the sky where the snow was falling, and beyond the sky, he saw an enormous face looking down at him with a smile.

It was Gabriel.

'I am inside that fucking snow globe. What tremendous power! How can anyone fight against that?'

He kept looking around the village, and since there was nowhere else to go, he headed to the wooden cottage, and after reaching its porch, he knocked on the door.

'There is light, so there must be someone living here, right?'

The door opened quickly. It seemed like the person inside the cottage was in a hurry to open

the door.

A familiar face greeted him.

"It's you..." The First Sister exclaimed. "Adam!"

"Oh, it is you." Adam took a deep breath. "I wondered what happened to you.

"Come inside, quick!" The First Sister immediately pulled him inside the cottage and closed

the door. "That freak is watching us!"

"Yeah, I saw." Adam looked around the warm cottage and saw that there was already a fireplace crackling. "Have you found a way to exit this place?"

"No, not yet." The First Sister shook her head and went to sit down on a couch.

She was dressed in a warm sweater and thick wool socks. It was to keep her warm from the

outside world's coldness.

She found these clothes in the cottage.

"What happened to the others?" she asked. "What happened with Rawkshawn?"

"Everyone is dead."

The First Sister's eyes widened in shock, and she then softly said. "I see... So, we are doomed,

you're saying?"

"Not necessarily." Adam said. "Rawkshawn told me that there is another exit. Unfortunately, we need to go through other warlords to get there."

"Why would he tell you that?" The First Sister asked with a frown.

Adam shrugged his shoulders. "Things happened. I only survived because he spared my life."

"Hmm..." The First Sister kicked her legs up and down. "He could be lying."

"Yes, he could." Adam said. "I am not in a mood to think about such things. We must find a way out of this place."

"You could try to break the 'sky' of this place." The First Sister said. "It is made of glass, is it not? I can't reach it, but you could."

"Mm." Adam nodded. "I wouldn't like to anger Gabriel. If we destroy his snow globe, I am afraid what he would do."

"He is the weirdest guy I've ever had displeasure of meeting!" The First Sister shuddered. "If we can escape, we must at least try, right?!"

"I suppose so..." Adam narrowed his eyes, and as he walked over to the window, he looked to

the sky.

There, Gabriel was still staring down towards them with his enormous eyes. It was creepy as

hell.
