Second World Chapter 58
Advertisement
It took around five hours for the entire one hundred rankers to go up and claim their rewards. The Sun was about to set in the West. Silverwing and Scarface were amongst the one hundred. When the last one-hundredth ranker left the Giant blue sphere, it dissolves into thin air. Honuren floated towards the colossal black doors that were still shut tight.
"Congratulations to you that have received your rewards," he said out loud. "Now that it is over, we should get to the main event. You will be entering a new world that is completely different from your old ones. Try to learn the rule as best as you can, it might be the difference between life and death. As my time here is limited, I will allow three questions before you go through this gate. Please make you questions count. Afterward, you will have to find the answers yourself from the locals. Only the first, second, and third rank of the highest level have the privilege to ask these questions."
The crowd blared into a murmur.
"No fair! There is so much I want to ask!"
"Can I go back home?"
"Where are my kids?"
"How do I check the stock market?"
As the cacophony increased in volume. Honuren's body flared with blue light, he lifted his cane high and a lightning snake came thundering down from the sky. It hit the pond water where Honuren was floating above and created a crackling sound. The water churned with electricity. Luckily no one was having the thought of swimming in the pond at this time. Otherwise, they would have been cooked alive. All the noises died down due to the display of power.
"I said three people!" His voice boomed out. "The others, keep your mouth shut!"
He then pointed towards Jack who was the first ranker. "Ask your question," he said.
Jack was perplexed. He had many questions, but being asked suddenly and could only choose one, made him unsure of what to ask. He was contemplating while Honuren waited patiently. The others, however, were not. But learning from previous experience, they did not dare to call out to rush Jack. After all, Honuren might see it as another affront to his authority again. So they kept quiet in displeasure, especially Warpath, he was forcing himself to keep his mouth shut.

After contemplating for a long minute, Jack finally realized the multitude of eyes staring at him. He was sweating from it. He had known that the Goddess didn't know anything about the real world or how they can get back to it, so he figured this Demigod would have no idea about it as well.
So he asked the next question he thought was most important, "Master Honuren, my question is, if we die in the wilderness in the Main World. Will we die for real? I mean, do we stay dead forever?"
Some of the others who heard it was facepalming. Why do you waste one important chance for such a useless question? They had seen and known from the past few days that when they die in this supposedly game world, none of the dead came back to life like past VR games. They were gone and no longer exist. So they really were dead.
However, Honuren reply took them all aback, "no, if you died in the wilderness, you will come back to life in the nearest safe zone. But you will lose all your equipment and levels, starting back to square one again from level 1, no matter what level you were before you died."
The crowd was shocked. The answer was completely different from what they expected. Warpath who was just about to ridicule Jack for making a stupid question, instead blurted out, "What about the people who were killed before this? During this Tutorial period?"
Honuren turned to him and answered, "they will revive too, of course. They will come back to life again in the capital Thereath once you start to cross through this gate. But they will also lose all their possessions and levels, starting from level 1… Ok, third question!"
Warpath was dumbfounded, "w–wait! That wasn't my question!"
Honuren turned back at him with irritation, "are you trying to trick me? You were given one chance to ask, and you have asked one question. So your chance is done!"
Warpath was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do. He gritted his teeth and glared at Jack. This was all because of him asking that question which had caused him to blurt out unintentionally. Jack who saw the glare, felt wronged and thought, 'brother, how is this my fault?'

Honuren ignored Warpath's discontent and turned to the third rank, Kill Order, who seemed to maintain his cool throughout the proceeding. He gave his question promptly, "Can we kill people in the safe zone? Will they also revive back to level 1?"
"That was two questions," Honuren said. "But I will let it slide. By killing people in the safe zone, I will assume you mean people like you here, not the native of the Main World. The answer is yes, you can, but there will be a penalty. What this penalty is you will have to find out for yourselves. As for the people who die in safe zone, they will come back to life without losing any possessions, and will only lose 1 level."
So the questions ended, with all three questions revolved around players dying. Jack didn't realize that his first question would steer the other two towards similar questions. There were others that were hoping they could find out the answers to questions revolving around how to return to the real world, but now the chance was lost. Those with this thought glared at Jack.
Bowler whispered to Jack, "is it just my feeling, or is it that many people seemed to be angry at you?"
"I have no idea," Jack replied.
Honuren floated down towards the front of the colossal black doors. He tapped his cane on the door. Ring of light circled outwards from the point of contact. Rumbling sounds were heard as the door started to vibrate. The vibration was transmitted to the pond water below which created small waves that spread outwards.
The door leaves started to move slowly. A golden light was emitted from the gap which continually widened. As the door leaves fully opened, a golden sheet of light rolled out from inside along the surface of the water. The golden carpet created a pathway that stretched along the pond into the opening of the door. Nothing was seen from the opening except golden emptiness, as if a layer of golden sheet is covering the opening of the door, preventing anyone from seeing the other side of the door.
Honuren landed on the golden pathway. The way he stood on it made it looked like a solid floor. Someone tried to do the same and use one of his legs to step onto the golden pathway made of light. He half expected his feet to go through and dip into the water below. But the golden light was solid.
"You may now enter the Main World through this gateway," Honuren enhanced voice sounded out again. "There is no requirement for whom to enter first, but I expect everyone to proceed in an orderly fashion. This is not a contest. The first to cross will not have any advantage over the last one. So proceed calmly. Anyone that tries to make trouble will face my wrath. I will not repeat again."
He then stood beside the door and gestured for those nearest to start making their way inside the door.
No one made a move. Everyone just stood there looking at each other. They have come here expecting to go to this world that was called Main World, but now that it is time to do so, they paused. It was human nature to fear the unknown. At here, although the world had changed beyond recognition, the landscape was still the city they were familiar with. But beyond that black door, no one knew.
After what felt like a long time, finally someone made a move. The Third rank Kill Order went up to the front of the door. He looked back and said, "Black Cloak, with me!"
A bunch of people came up following his call. He then turned around and stepped through the golden opening.

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.
