2024-10-29 19:42:56Opening the shop of Minus Zero Online, Juray looked for an apprentice weapon he seem to utilize. To induce any low-level weapon, fair for credits, he indeed sold his only armor which dropped his defense and developments speed. A profound distress ness filled in his chest, but, he didn't need to lose his domestic. Giving up was vital in arranging to process. While he was actively doing the course of action, two fingers joined came close his check, and flicked, shocking him not to mention, his headphone were resting on his shouders.
"Ok! WHA...?" he got stunned to see a grown-up standing with a delicate grin "A mm...boss?" he spoke."Yes, I" he fell sitting on his chair close to me and appearing off a card.
"Wait for a diminutive, sir!" shouted Juray in astonishment "That's Minus Zero... Are you playing it too?"
"Well, of course" he answered gladly "I too got a welcome in a promotion for a few items due to my attractiveness so I will be very busy..."
"Well, I am pleased of you" answered the boy pulling up his glass over his eyes, when he was around to put it down, the card hindered his view. "Yes?"
The man put one leg on the other inclining his back on the situate and inquired, "May I inquire your offer assistance?.... I am in kind of trouble...you see indeed a star require offer assistance to light up" The boy looked around at the few individuals and turning to him inquired, "So how can I be the sun?" The man entered his card, opened the diversion turned straight, and clarified,
"You see I need to seek for the mystery of my kingdom. It's a mission for me to reach level 80" A sudden stun tossed the boy on the table, he raised up and yelled, "80!"
"Shhhh!" whispered the boss at him "It's a little mystery between you and me. So can you offer assistance? I chose a little area from the corner of the kingdom and am not beyond any doubt approximately this. The kingdom is gigantic but, the due is limited"
Juray thought for a whereas looking at the boss's screen.
The kingdom is named Snowflakes, a winter zone of the diversion with great moo temperatures. One coming from another town, without culminating armor would drop his/her HP haphazardly due to cruel weather. Secrets were keen to stow away here and counting beasts that were colored just like the snow camouflaging them. The small town where the area was displayed was a little town within the corner of this Kingdom, secured within the mantle with few trees standing in dark. Few houses smoked chimneys were built around. Looking closely at the environment, Juray proposed, "I think to a cold put like Snowflakes its treasure can be a rare ruby one a player can dream to have it. Not covered up profound within the town. Likely, in a wealthy man's house." "You think so....." inquired the boss genuinely, wearing the earphone and putting down the glass, "How come?. And where?" "A place in which few individuals territories in a corner of a gigantic kingdom won't anticipate to have it in. Your area to enter this portion is culminating. Attempt to conversation to the chairman after talking with all the people. .....Surely, you'd acknowledge something odd from him"
"Affirm," said boss "let's attempt it out" In a purge encompassing, through the snowing wind, a mage strolled, secured in a blue cloak, wearing an interesting cloth armor beneath it and a pointed twist cap, known as the winter mage. He ceased and looked up at the gigantic house before him.
*Ding Dong*
"Coming!" replied a housekeeper. As she opened the entryway, her heart skip a beat "Wi....Winter mage!" she stammered in excitement.
"Sorry for irritating ness" he apologized, submissively "I have to see the mayor....again"
"YES...yes!" she rehashed in energy "Come in as numerous times as you need" he entered covering his cap with his eyes.
A wide decorative room with luxury surrounding, a proud man sat on his crown furniture holding his ring between his fingers.Just as the door knocked, he bounced sitting up straight and got surprised to see the mage."What do you want?" he asked rudely "Haven't we spoken before?. It doesn't exist here!""Fair enough" replied winter "Perhaps, I could bring you something valuable in exchange for the ruby...Something that wouldn't lose your position or wealth""Well" smiled the arrogant man "There's a rumor about a hidden chest inside the west cave from our town. They say coins are hidden in it which is double the price of a normal coin.If I have it then I won't be having any importance with this ruby.....bring it GO"Winter left out in silence and walked away from the house.Pacing his way on the snowy path, Winter mage battle several monsters before they ambush him cause he was an expert in tacking them. He arrived in the valley of the mountains and climbed up, jumping over rocks, and landed near a wide-opening, deep cave.As the snowfall continued, he picked up an ice-thick piece and threw it in. With a sound of drip, the mountain began to quake, a shill sound echoed the area. Itching his ears, the boss rubbed it by pulling the headphone down and wearing it back.The winter mage glowed his hands created an ice ball and swiped it in, creating a track in front of him. He jumped in and slide down into the crystal cave at a great speed. He slide left, right, jumped, and landed firmly on an icy surface.Looking around in the dim light, he scenes a colder breeze, turned and saw a huge dragon, breathing out fog and glaring with its red rage eyes.In the eyeglass of the boss appeared on the right side whole information of the beast.Without disturbing the computer view of the player and concentration, Minus Zero had a specially designed headphone having a glass in front of the eyes which displays the HP, MP bars, armor strength plus, with combo hits, menu attacks, and inbox messengers. It had a normal control from the mouse and keyboard.This design helped the players to stay focused in front of the clear-screen game.The glass showed:Beast of the west cave: Crystal dragon.HP: 28000/28000Defense mode: The hidden wings.Level: 72"This won't be easy" commented the boss tights the stretches of the bones in his fingers.The mage created ice spikes around him, with a wide swipe it flew straight at the monster but, it swift its extra transparent wings in front of itself, fleeting all. He repeated three times and it went in vain.When the mage ran fore, the dragon roar a huge sound weave, pushing him back as he dodged with cross arms and vibrated the boss's ears. He closed his one eyes with his fingers dancing on the keyboard he played fast.Winter hold the ground, the dragon stepped on the surface and it turned into a more slippery area that the mage couldn't jeep his foot. He tried to skate and attack suddenly, crystal raised from the ground and crushed into his body, dropping his HP.Leaning back, he opened his arm releasing a blue summoning circle with two rings under him, and said, "Frost skill level-2: Ice mountain!"All around the area filled in huge mountains of ice. The raging dragon also begin to rise more crystal not caring for the MP crushing them but, the mage kept making more and more. It speeds up crushing all the crystals headed swiftly towards the dragon rising multiple ice spikes all crushed through its wings instead of the body."Gotcha!" smiled the boss.Juray was still watching by the side he asked, "Why didn't you attack the body? You were speed enough to break through the defense. It was wide open?""We must drop its defense in order to attack clearly" replied the man.The battle between ice and crystal kept going.Back in the house, the man laughed while having his hot tea, "Foolish mage. Believed in such an old rumor. Surely, he will get freeze and perish with that dragon.....Ops! my bad. I didn't warn about it." he laughed having his tea.Suddenly, the window smashed and the whole room was covered in a blizzard, fearing the man with his frozen tea. From the mist, a figure appeared which said,"Gentleman.....here it is" he dropped a red chest in front of his feet.A hand grabbed off the ring from his hand and took off the ruby throwing away the ornament and said, "Thanks I am leaving" he jumped out leaving the frozen man and the blizzard cleared."STAGE CLEAR" opened the tag in front of the screen."Mission completed: Found the ruby.Level up.Unlock frost level 3Received the cold heard Ruby as a present.""YES!" cheered the boss rising his arms and dropping his left arm in Juray 's shoulder saying, "Just a small suggestion saved me..... I thought I took the wrong site""Any time, sir" replied Juray and turned to his computer. Both were busy for a while in it and then the boss left by pressing enter.Suddenly, Juray received a blue dot in his inbox on the side of the screen. He opened it and to his surprise, he received 200 credits in his account. And total he had 210 credits.Send by Winter mage to Cecil."AH!...." he lost his words and turned back to see his boss smiling and leaving. A message was written in the note pad which grew a smile of hope on his lips which was written,"Cecil is an intelligent mage...level him up to surprise us all....."
