Mordecai raised his right hand. He moved it just as if to wave goodbye, until suddenly, his hand released a bright blue light that shot upwards.Hitting the ceiling of the cave, the light created a tremendous explosion. The entire cave collapsed into dust grains.Sunlight immediately hit Aaron's disbelieving-looking face."Hehe, this is a bit of my game. Are you impressed?"Aaron was dumbfounded to see the cave that had been dark and gloomy, now wide open displaying a bright and beautiful sky. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Mordecai was still laughing loudly as if he had won the battle.Aaron felt uncomfortable with this situation. He didn't understand the meaning of Mordecai's actions and what power he had. He felt that something was not right with this situation.However, before he could ask, Mordecai stepped forward and stood in front of Aaron with a sharp, enigmatic gaze. "You got lucky this time, Aaron," he said in a condescending voice. "But don't think you can win agai
Aaron just nodded his head. Keeping secrets wasn't something so hard to do, was it?"Mordekai, and the rest of the AI Monsters, intend to trap the players inside Martial Universe Online for all eternity," Dariowyn said."Wait, what?" Aaron rubbed his ears. Had he not heard wrong?"Yes. They want to create their own world - or even universe - separate from the human earth," Dariowyn explained. "They've already created that. Most of Martial Universe Online has been created by them. However, it would still be boring if the only inhabitants of this world were NPCs. You need something much more "alive". Therefore, the AI monster wants to "trap" the players in this world.""Lies," Aaron said. "There's no way something this crazy could happen. Martial Universe Online players can never be trapped in the game, the developers have created a forced logout protocol for players who have serious problems logging out normally. If the AI monster is trapping players, simply execute the protocol and th
After having finished eating, Leen asked Aaron to stay there."I want to talk about the cooperation contract between you and the Martial Online Company." Leen took out a large tablet that displayed a series of contract texts. "You only need to sign this digital contract before receiving the immediate bonus."Without speaking much, Aaron immediately read the contents of the contract.'It states that I must publish footage of my activities within Martial Universe Online. A video will cost 500,000 credits, but the commission can be increased if it gets a lot of reactions. As an advance reward, I can have a large villa in Valoria Hill and a luxury car.'Finished reading the contract, Aaron turned to look at Leen before him."Is there a specific schedule on when I have to post the video?" Aaron asked.Leen replied that there was no specific schedule, but the more videos Aaron published, the better, as he would earn more money. Then, Aaron signed the contract without hesitation.Leen took
Aaron opened the door of a small bar in Mirehaven Town, Golden Lotus Empire, after passing through the heavy rain.He hung his fully soaked leather coat on a special holder near the bar's door, before walking towards an empty table in the corner of the room.After sitting comfortably on a chair, Aaron immediately called out to the waiter and mentioned his order: a glass of hot chocolate."Um... Mister, we have the best wine in all of Mirehaven. Aren't you interested to try it?" asked the waiter with a face full of doubt, he felt Aaron had called his order wrong."No, I'm not. Just hot chocolate is all I want," Aaron replied firmly.The waiter nodded and immediately went to the bar to fulfill Aaron's order. Aaron pondered for a moment, enjoying the fairly lively atmosphere at the bar. He could hear the sounds of music and laughter from the other patrons who were having a good time there.Suddenly, the bar door opened, and in walked a large man wearing a black robe with a fur hat on his
"Look at that rock cliff." Ruric gestured in one direction.Aaron turned his head, discovering a large, sheer rock cliff that was refracted by a flash of lightning. It looked quite terrifying any way you looked at it."We'll be going over that cliff soon," Ruric said calmly, but there was a slight change in his voice."Is something wrong?" asked Aaron after noticing the change.Taking a deep breath, Ruric explained that the cliff was inhabited by many Giant Angry Stones. They utilized the environment there to hide themselves and ambush prey."There was more than three hundred player K.O.'s in that place due to realizing too late that the place where their feet were standing was the body of a Giant Angry Stone," Ruric explained, "which is why the large, steep rock hill is known as Death Stone."Then, he added that from there on, they should not rush. At the very least, it would minimize the chances of them going off the designated safe path."One wrong step and that might be the reason
Going down the hill, they realized that there were so many Spirit Beast imprints imprinted very clearly on the wet ground."We're alone here, so all these Spirit Beasts are ours." Ruric rubbed his hands with interest as he looked at the imprints.Aaron just shook his head with a smile.Judging from the depth of the traces, Aaron could guess the average Spirit Beast in Mire Forest had a level above 300, just like the Giant Angry Stone they had just faced in Death Rock.Hunting down all the Spirit Beasts in this forest was an act of madness that was tantamount to suicide. However, Aaron of course knew that Ruric was only joking with his words."But, I think we should forget about Spirit Beasts," Ruric said suddenly. "I heard a rumor from the forums that you were collecting orc kill counts, so that's why you formed the Shadow Legion. Is that rumor true?""I can't answer that question, but it's true that I want to hunt orcs now," Aaron said casually as if such a question did not burden hi
In an increasingly chaotic situation, Ruric attempted to join the battle, but he found it difficult to adjust to the speed and agility of the orcs who turned on him.Luckily, Aaron assisted with his agile and ruthless moves in attacking the orcs. Aaron spun quickly, jumped, and cut off the legs of the orcs that were chasing him. In an instant, he managed to take out two orcs with one deadly attack. Then, with agile movements, he dodged another orc's sword blow and attacked him from behind with [Shadow Swords] that struck the orc right in the nape of the neck, killing not only the orc but the 20 orcs behind him.Suddenly, the sound of shouting broke the silence of the battle, grabbing a bit of Aaron and Ruric's attention.Another army of orcs came from the other side and immediately attacked them without a preamble. Ruric was getting more and more pressed because his abilities were not enough to survive in the siege of many orcs at once.Aaron immediately approached Ruric to protect
Aaron stood at the edge of the Mire Forest, his eyes staring into the distance as he contemplated his next move. The forest was a good hunting ground, but he felt he had run out of prey strong enough to support his development. She needed to find new challenges to keep pushing herself forward. It was then that he remembered hearing rumors of an even more terrifying forest nearby, filled with Spirit Beasts of unimaginable power.The forest was called Frostthorn!Without any further hesitation, Aaron set out in search of the forest. As he walked, the trees grew taller and darker, their branches stretching out like bony fingers. The ground became muddier, and the air became thick with a moist musky scent. Aaron knew that he was getting close.Finally, he arrived at the entrance of the mist-shrouded forest. He took a deep breath and stepped forward. The mist enveloped him, and he felt a chill run down his spine. As he continued to go deeper into the forest, he encountered a Spirit Beast
