Fate Online: Shadow

e had left as she just continued talking while tying something in the computer in front of her, thinking that Alex is still around her, listening to her.

”Damn you old man! ”

Meanwhile.

”So, have you finally figured out a plan? ”

Cereal Killer crawled towards Shadow and asked in a whisper.

Right now, Shadow and the rest of the team are currently lying down on the ground behind a thick brush as they observed the patrolling Grey Orcs walking on a path just three meters in front of them.

”Of course, but it ’s a risk we should take thanks to your useless Grey Orc companion that doesn ’t even know any secret paths we could take and bypass these stubborn race ”

”And here I was thinking that passing through this place would be a breeze because a lot of Grey Orcs had left ”

Shadow turned his head towards Cereal Killer and replied with a bit of an annoyed tone.

Cereal Killer gave his friend a scowl and whispered back, ”Why is it my fault? Not like that dude is someone with a high position in their tribe ”

Shadow almost wanted to smack him, but quickly stopped himself as he didn ’t want them getting discovered.

So he glared at Cereal Killer and said, ”But he ’s the son of one of the elders, don ’t tell me that the dude never went through childhood and wasn ’t a troublemaker? ”

”Dude, he ’s a freaking Orc, not a human.
How would we even know their customs? ”

”And let ’s just say he does know a secret path or two, but would he tell me? His loyalty is only at thirty percent, and there ’s still a huge risk that he would suddenly leave me and stabbed us in the back ”

”That ’s why we didn ’t let him out and accompany us in the off chance that the possibility of him betraying us might happen.
We didn ’t come here to die, but to stay ahead of the others in the game man ”

Shadow just quietly clicked his tongue as he knows that Cereal Killer also has a point.
After all, a pet and a companion is different as the former would treat the player with absolute loyalty even when they have quirks in their personalities, while the latter group will have their loyalties fluctuate now and then from how someone would treat them.

A good example would be treating them as meat shields, which would certainly reduce a large amount of their loyalty, and if the level of their loyalty reaches zero, then they would quickly abandon their master or lord.

In fact, the worse outcome of it is utterly betraying the player by attacking them, and events like that had already happened a lot within the game where players had treated their NPC companions as their meat shields or sacrificial pawns.

Which resulted in them getting stabbed in their backs.
One player even failed an important mission because of it, while some guilds even failed in boss raids because of it.

From then on, players had learned from their mistakes and started treating their companions right.
