Dear Readers, I'm sure you're wonder why I didn't update for a while. My exams have me on a chokehold throughout this week, so bear with me. Next week, update will resume as normal. Thank you all...
Two days went past fast with it being pristine, very pristine.After the two days went by, everyone with the system got the notification.…[[Main Quest]][Quest Name: Open Up The Earth][Quest Details: It is time to see how wrecked your world is and how much it has changed. Explore and Conquer all the dungeons and rifts in the world. These dungeons and rifts can be found by stumbling across it randomly or acquiring raid cards to expose the location of these locations. Good Luck!][Quest Completion: 0%][Main Rewards: Opportunity to Open up Earth Amalgam.][Subsidiary Rewards: Depends on percentage participation.][Upon Failure: Expungement of the Human Race from the System.][Time Remaining: -]…“Woah! Expungement of the Human race from the system?!” Matt exclaimed, his eye widened.“Relax.” Eric calmed him down and sighs.He found a place to sit and continued.“It's a team effort and we'll only be getting three main quests throughout this…well, all through our lives so yeah. The qu
It was nighttime and the world became vibrant visually. The sky was covered with a mystical aurora, the horizon, as far as the eye could see and in every direction, was dotted with pillars of light of different colours that ascended from the ground to the depths of the sky.Nelson was on the roof of the skyscraper opposite the store looking at the sky and myriads of colourful pillars that dotted the landscape.He tipped the wine glass towards his mouth and sipped the content within it, his free hand in his pocket.His expression was likened to that of forlornness and his eyes distant.“Woaaaaaaah!” Eric's scream reached his ears, causing him to look back at the store below, over the edge.His eyes widened and he backed away from the edge immediately, almost stumbling on his bum.A figure blitzed, past the very edge of the roof of the skyscraper, into the sky.The figure was humanoid and was flying really drunkenly and wobbly as though it was its first time flying.“Wahhhh!” The scream
Eric and the Queen of Storms soared amidst the thunder filled clouds as though a parent bird was leading its child somewhere.He was having the time of his life, momentarily forgetting that he was in a broken world.Although he was having fun, doing barrel rolls and whirly-twirlies, he stayed true to his mission of scouting the area. He had already counted and marked six dungeons that they'll raid soon enough. There was also a small scale rift in the area, one that didn't have a pillar of light to its name.He communicated with the moth and quickly bid it farewell before turning left to open more areas.He actively scanned the area below with analysis and saw several creatures of different kinds, both large and small.No human so far. Eric sighed as he flew in a wide circle, his eyes darting from outline to outline. A few were just a grade above his level but it was nothing he couldn't handle with his current stats… probably.[MP: 300/410]He glanced at the screen that randomly poppe
The flashes in the distance had stopped for a while now and the two weren't even close to where Eric was, but they had an idea of his general location.…Eric was heading for the stairs of the skyscraper when the building shook and noise came from above him.He stopped and looked up at the ceiling in confusion.“What are they even doing?” He couldn't quite get what was going on with the building but the shaking persisted.“Don't tell me those guys are drilling through the building from the roof!” He voiced out his thoughts before stopping abruptly and running back outside.Just as he predicted, part of the ceiling of the ground floor came crumbling down behind him, sending dust everywhere.Luckily, he had already gotten outside. He turned and saw that a large silver drill had fallen through the building.“Now I'm beginning to wonder which one of us is an animal.” Eric muttered softly.The large metal drill soon melted into its silvery liquid state and unfurled itself to reveal the spe
Nelson was running with all he had while keeping an eye on his fatigue counter.[Fatigue: 61%]“Dammit, how far did that idiot fly?” Nelson gritted his teeth and continued running with all he had.He couldn't even see Amy anymore but he was sure that that she was already there or perhaps very close to the place.A strange sound soon reached his ears but he dismissed it and continued running. He was painstakingly close now, he couldn't afford to be distracted.Soon, the sound became audible and distinctive from the usual nightly ambience. He took a quick glance behind him to see what was making the noise and he was shocked.“Huh? What sort of car is that?!” He blurted out instinctively, almost compelled to stop.The said car was a sedan with a glistening black coat, nothing weird about that. What caught his attention was the fact that there was some kind of minigun mounted on its roof firing at some things behind the vehicle.“Nelson! Get in!” A shrill feminine voice pierced his ears,
Eric had taken the place of Matt Baker at the skylight but it wasn't to stall the advancing monsters.Directing mana into his body as well as his voice box, he let out a ear splitting shriek that rocked the vehicle a bit.The advancing creatures hit the brakes on their pursuit and observed the retreating vehicle. The evil glint in their eye became more profound and glaring and they chased the car with newfound vigour and strength, hollering as they did so.“What the fawk did you do?! They didn't make noise when they chased us the first time.” Nelson said tapping Eric aggressively.Eric's put his head back into the car and smirked.“I called for help and also added a bit of provocation to it, also marking the denizens as target.” “So if the Queen of Storms comes to our aid, she'll think that the denizens had provoked her to come.” He quickly added, satisfied by his actions.Motherfawker! Nelson couldn't help but smile softly at Eric.“You've got nerves fodder. You got one hell of a ne
They'd been driving at full speed for hours and the horizon was now tinted with an orange hue. The rain had also long stopped its frenzy although the area over the battlefield field was still overcast.The car revved its last somewhere around Upper Manhattan so they had the alight from the vehicle.All of them were mentally drained as they looked for an intact or semi-intact building to take shelter in.The faces of everyone there was pale from dread at the near death encounter. For the original members of the cohort, this wasn't their first time but for Maric and Samuel Baker, this was their own near death encounter, their own narrow escape episode.The soon found an intact building to hide within and they did so promptly. Eric had alerted them that the area was relatively safe for their level with ogres, goblins and imps here and there.“I can't believe I survived that encounter.” Maric settled down on the floor and rested his back on a wall.“Welcome to the faction called Death Cou
Just as Eric took off quietly, two pair of eyes opened inside the building. The first pair sported amber coloured eyes while the second pair of eyes sported dark orange hue.They both stood up discreetly and simultaneously walked out. They both glanced at each other before also taking off after Eric.…Eric ran for about two minutes, determined to discard the creature and be done with it before anyone notices his absence, and soon he was there.[Analysis: You are being followed. Be advised!][An Awakened Grade 4, River Denizen, has set its sights on you. Survive!]Eric's heart tightened and he wheeled instantly to see who was trailing him but he saw nobody. He furrowed his brows and turned his attention back to the dying monster.The monster let out a weak growl as it crawled towards him, its eyes were dark and grim and it could barely move its limbs.“You pathetic little thing. You… instead of you to find somewhere to heal and recuperate before continuing your hunt, you believe even
