The Immortal Player

"Say, young man... what's your name?" Madame Soledad spoke seriously as her eyes turned all black.

'Why do I feel a powerful dark energy from this young man?' Madame Soledad thought inwardly as she became wary of Pedro.

"Ahh..." Pedro was rendered speechless for two reasons. First was that he thought that it would be awkward to introduce his self just like he did with the village chief for the first time. Second was... It was because of the all black eyes of Madame Soledad.

In his past life, legacy enhancements became a norm when players reached level 50 to 100. A handful of those professional players had a rare legacy enhancement that enhances their perception ability. These legacy enhancements made the eyes of the owners became permanently different.

Although the information about the legacy enhancement was disclosed. The people called it "god's eye". One player had her pupils turned red and It was said that anything she saw was in slow motion and was per millisecond.

By studying the past videos and battles of her enemy, she can determine the key movements her enemies make as sort of activation of their skill. With this, she would know what skill her enemy would use and had tons of time to discern the best counter attack she can make and do it. This might have seemed godly to normal or mainstream players.

But to professional players, this has a drawback. It was true that she can see in slow motion, however, there were skills that were instantaneous when activated. She might notice it and be prepared to it, but she only saw it in slow motion. Her body might not act fast to be able to even dodge instantaneous attacks.

This showed that the professional players stood up to their names. Though faced with a godly ability, they were still able to devise strategies and plans to defeat other players.

Regardless, one player stood above all players who had "god's eye". He was called "the Emperor". Feeling the threat the player village imposed, an NPC kingdom attacks the village of the guild of "the Emperor".

Hundreds of thousands of NPC army march towards their village. A mile away from the village, the Emperor stood after the NPC army. Before the army could charge after him, his eyes turned all black, and he wore a fierce and unyielding look. Those who walk went into their knees, those who were in horses fell and the king and its general wore a grim expression. The NPC army looked like an army that was on the brink of annihilation and lost all their will.

That event was recorded by his fellow guildmates and was uploaded in the forums and got the utmost attention. He was then called "the Emperor" for being able to subjugate the NPC army without even lifting a finger. And his eyes were called (Not Emperor's eye, lol) "the king of eyes".

...

Seeing similar eyes with Madame Soledad, he felt disbelief and thought... 'how could she also have it?'

"Ehmmm..." Madame Soledad fake a cough and showed a slight grin on her face. This made Pedro return back to his senses and carefully responded to her.

"My apologies Madame... my name is Death... It might seem unusual, but it is truly my name!" Pedro bowed again respectfully.

"Is that so? No need to be shy of your name! After all... It's not your fault that your father was drunk when you were born!" Both Madame Soledad and Chief Antonio laughed.

"Back to the topic... Adventurers development capabilities were suspicious enough ... Much less someone who knows about me! Perhaps you are..." The air around changed and felt heavier. A scary aura escapes from Madame Soledad that is way leaps and bounds scarier than that of Pedro.

"I... I have no ill intentions! I just wanted to learn skill-making and become the strongest person in the world!" Pedro burst out of fear. After a few seconds, the heavy atmosphere disappeared, and Pedro had a grim expression.

'Did I just fall under the control of a god's eye similar to that of "the Emperor"?' He thought inwardly as fear still filled him inside.

"Hmm... Hmm... So... You're not a stalker?" Madame Soledad expressed in a relieved manner and her eyes returned to its normal look.

"What? That's nonsense?!!" Pedro shouted. 'She looked at youngest in her thirties, why would I even have the interest to stalk her... wait what am I saying?!'

"Is that how you talk to your master? Shut your mouth and follow me, We'll stop nearby before we leave the village!" Madame Soledad scolded Pedro and started walking.

"master?" Pedro was astounded and looked with disbelief. 'Did I just become her apprentice?'

"I thought you want to become my apprentice? or did you chicken out and wanted to back out?" Madame Soledad mocked Pedro.

"No... No! I want to be your apprentice!" Pedro retorted.

"Bye bye aunt!" the chief's daughter waved her last goodbye to the Madame.

"Oh... Adventurer wait for a second!" The chief ran to his office and after a few seconds came out immediately with a skill shard on his hand.

"Take this... this is the reward I promised you!"

"Also... take this... It is a pin given by a friend of mine! This will help you enter any kingdom! I hope this will aid you in your adventures!" Antonio took out a silver pin that has a design of an envelope.

"Thank you so much Village Chief! this would be of great help to me!" Pedro can't help but thanks, the pin has the same purpose as recommendation letters do. So it would be of great help to Pedro. It is a new Item for Pedro, as long as it can let him enter any kingdom it would be useful. Besides, He is now the apprentice of Madame Soledad, which kingdom would not let him enter? 'Are they nuts?'

"No... thank you! without your help... I am not sure if my wife and daughter would still be alive!" Antonio responded as he bowed forty-five degrees perfectly followed by her daughter and wife.

"Once again! Thank you, Adventurer Death!"

"Thank you big brother Death!" Cherry bowed...

"Let's go now! It's getting late!" Madame Soledad commanded and continued walking.

"Right!" Pedro followed while waving his hands like saying goodbye.

'I had hope you gave me more coins though!' He thought inwardly while grinning.
