Chapter 14

THERE WERE no goodbyes. Without a word, I shook Grust’s hand, nodded to Milady, gave Little a hug, handed them each a unit of noa, transferred all of them a billion coins, and flew off. There was no desire to explain anything to them — I was going to be back in three days to finish my conversation with Verloven, anyway. I needed answers, and I wasn’t about to let the defender go until it answered them. And even the creator wasn’t going to get between me and that little talk.

The creator’s messenger stepping in really had me worried. And it wasn’t just that the creature existed; it was that it had been following the conversation and stepped in when it felt I hadn’t gotten all the information I needed. It’s never pleasant to find out you’re being led around by the nose, doing someone else’s bidding. On the other hand, there was a silver lining: I could hurt the owner. At least, as long as I could get close enough and rack up absorber qualities.

And that was my plan.

I had forty-five dragon’s tears. That was enough for nine qualities, though I was going to need 1,080 units of noa. But wiiile that was a staggering figure, I knew where to find them. First and foremost, I needed to take out the local noa concentration plants. The fewer there were, the longer the game would last. The owner wasn’t going to leave until it had sucked Earth dry, after all. Plus, I needed to get into the southern location, the one with the remains of the storehouse, to clear it of the players calling it home. Just because.

But before any of that, I decided to visit another interesting location. It was one I’d already been to, the one where I’d killed the first team member. The machine had lived deep underground, hiding under the church and using it to give off will-suppressing waves, though that wrasn’t the most important thing. I was far more interested in the enormous triangle that was presumably the aliens’ flying machine. While I hadn’t been able to do anything to it the previous time, I’d been weak and low-level then, so I hoped to have better luck the second time around. If Verloven was right, the only shot I had at taking out the owner was using equipment from outside the game. And where else was I going to find it if not on an alien spaceship?

The flight didn’t take long, as I was already comfortable flying at top speed. Plus, for the first time since the game had begun, I didn’t have anyone wThooping or hollering as they chased after me. While I’d only been gone for two weeks, that had been enough for everyone to forget who Mark Derwin was. That's okay, I'll remind them. Just a bit later.

The triangle was right where I’d left it, the enormous ship laughing at anyone who tried to hack into it. And there were no
