[You have cleared all the monster camps.]“Good job everyone. We wouldn’t reach this far if not for everyone’s contribution.” Gerald said to the group.This is the first time that he’s become kind again. He didn’t notice it but for the past days he has become more and more unbearable. There is a limit to how much he can hide on the surface after all. And what little he can hide is reduced further by the fact that there were a lot of problems encountered along the way. Things which brought discomfort to him who is not used to these.As a player who didn’t go through the same hardships as the rest, he doesn’t know of the difficulties of clearing a dungeon; as well as its dangers. That much is evident because he entered this place ill prepared. Almost causing the demise of his allies if not for the fact that Merlin came to save them all. That’s not even the end of it. Every night he would have trouble sleeping because of how hard the ground is. Even though he already invested a lot on a

“Gerald are you sure that it’s safe to leave the fight to Zack?” Ellaine said in a soft tone, audible only to those who are around. They can hear the fight happening and can even see it. But they’re pretending not to. The same way that they’re pretending that Merlin doesn’t exist. That’s how pathetic these individuals are. “Is that supposed to be a trick question?” Gerald asked. “We all know how powerful Zack is in combat, all of you should’ve felt it by now.”“Yeah but, what if he can’t deal with this monster alone?”“Plus wouldn’t it be wiser for us to fight alongside him?”“Yeah and another thing – what if he dies?”The questions kept coming one after the other. But if one would analyze the words they are using, it’s easy to know that they aren’t actually thinking about the safety of Zack at all. The only thing they are thinking about is their own safety in connection to what will happen to Zack whose real identity they still do not know.The true colors of the group are finally

Before the fight began, Merlin readied his weapons. Like he has always done, he made sure that all the necessary items are in place. The health and mana potions looted from the monster camps. The weaponry he’ll rely on. As well as the countermeasures that might be useful against the foe he’ll face.There isn’t the slightest bit of nervousness that Merlin can feel. This is not some unfounded confidence that he’s displaying. This stems purely from the fact that he is the strongest – earned through effort and a depth in game comprehension.Although he is starting over from [Level 1], all the experiences he built-up until that point isn’t lost. He has this with him and he intends to make full use of it in the coming fight. That being said, there is something that he placed on his daggers.Poison.The same poison that he used against the hounds is placed on his daggers. He dipped both of these in the liquid – using it up in its entirety. He planned to use this on Gerald but that needs to c

Five Minutes.Merlin had to spend five more minutes after dealing with everyone in order to recover from the effects of his transformation. The recoil this brought is stronger than he anticipated. Making him feel every flesh he cut and every bone he broke. The pain is enough to make someone lose consciousness, but not Merlin. He’s used to this by now. All thanks to his former allies who made it their goal to torture him every day. Especially Arthur, a person high up on Merlin’s list of people to kill.Hence he’s able to begin looking into the rewards. There are a lot of things for him to sort because of this fight. And since his head isn’t entirely clear yet, he began with the easier tasks.[Notice: You have finished the Hidden Quest – Proof of Blood][Requirement: Kill five people in total.][Reward: Crest of Deprivation]That doesn’t sound good, are the words that ran through Merlin’s head as he read through the text. Deprivation is a negative word after all. But if it comes as a r

Merlin began his journey as the owner of a dungeon. He still hasn’t forgotten about his revenge but there’s one thing he realized. He doesn’t want to kill them all right away. The feeling of pleasure he got from taking down Gerald made him realize this. That he should be intimate with the death of every member of Avalon. Meaning, he needs to give each of them a unique death. This is the only way he’ll finally be at peace.That being said he focused his energy and resources into starting up his dungeon. He isn’t an idiot to just run into Genesis City thinking that he’d be able to get what he wants. The reason why every player begins in this place is because it boasts of a high level of security. Owing to the fact that powerful mages worked together to fortify its defenses, there is a barrier that protects this place which is comparable to the strength of Merlin’s [Aegis]. This makes it impregnable to monsters and, since Merlin is now half monster himself, he doubts if he can even pass
