On the 17th floor of the Intermediate Stage of RPG Fantasia, players quickly left the 15th floor, as they heard that forces of 3 Game Administrators will battle it out on the 15th floor anytime today, and they didn't want to get involved, or else get caught in the aftermath. The players knew that without the Nobility Badge, they stood no chance of intervening in the upcoming battle, and if they attempted to do so with their average stats, they'd get eliminated from the game right away, forever. In the dangerous world of RPG Fantasia, where alliances and balance of power might shift at any time by any means possible, it was like walking on a thin wire that might snap with one single mistake. You have to tread carefully and try not to anger Game Guardians, Game Administrators and elite players, for elite players with a Nobility Badge treat ordinary players as just mere cannon fodder at their disposal. Anger a Game Administrator, Game Guardian or even an elite player as an ordinary,
The news of Circe's death, and the defeat of both Morrigan and Anubis quickly spread all over RPG Fantasia, sending shockwaves felt by everyone in RPG Fantasia, starting from the Game Administrators down to the ordinary players.The Witches and Warlocks Guild got heavily demoralized by the loss of one of the most influential leaders of the witches. The Guild Leader of the Witches and Warlocks Guild eventually disbanded the Guild after an unanimous majority vote from the elite players who happened to be the main members of the Witches and Warlocks Guild, and every one from the Witches and Warlocks Guild, starting from the Main Guild down to the subsidiary second-rate and third-rate guilds bid their good-byes to each other, and eventually parted ways. The arch-demon Beleth switched sides to that of the Minority Faction after news spread that it was Hashioki who caused the showdown that recently happened, and it was Hashioki who directly killed Circe with his high-tech and state of the
There is a heavy battle at the edge of a cliff. A young but tall and fit elite male assassin is surrounded by enemies with no chance of retreating or escaping. Noctis, a handsome young man is returning home from yet another stressful marketing proposal. It is just the end of his shift and he’s preparing to head home. It has been 4 years since he last saw his elder brother. He already went over to RPG Fantasia, hoping to find a cure for our father who was still sick back then. They encountered a serious financial problem back then, so his brother decided to do the unthinkable. "Noctis, you know those ads that went trending about a game where you can earn a lot and change your life for the better?" "You're planning to join? Satsuki, I know you're a pro when it comes to gaming and all, but this is risky." Then he pushed Noctis against the wall with a hand up the neck sleeve of my shirt. "Hey, Kyodai. Why did you have to do that?" "Noctis, you must be dreaming. We're obviously
After reading the message on the scroll, Noctis at first had doubts. Then his stomach lurched when he saw the attached video recording of the last moments of his brother. "That's it. I'm joining the fray. Don't worry brother. Your death won't be in vain." Then he packed up all the weapons and badges his father and brother sent over in his backpack. He went to his room and chose to wear black pants and a black shirt that is perfectly accented by his slim yet tall and fit body. Then he put on a black mask which is also a legendary item that could change his voice and cover his face. He combed his unruly silver hair, put on his mountain climbing sneakers, placed the backpack on his back, and grabbed the sheathed daggers with a dragon emblem engraved into the handles, the twin weapon of the katana his brother used, and placed them on his wrist. He also picked up his dragon fire enchanted spear. "Satsuki has been eliminated. You have been chosen as his replacement. Do you agree?" H
Noctis scanned the lobby. There are a lot of players from various races scattered all over the waiting area. Each of them was busy minding their own business. He noticed that he didn't have any potions to replenish his hp, elixirs to refill his mana, and All-cure Panacea that heals all status effects. All he has, for now, are his God-class weapons, a mysterious dark dragon badge that made the others wary when approaching him, and an unlimited amount of money and gemstones. This dragon badge must be a symbol of high status. In short, a symbol of nobility. His garments also made him stand out, as he perfectly resembled his deceased older brother in the game. He looked at the whole Lobby again. It's his good luck to spot shops that cater to players. He walked straight to the shops, mingled with the other players, and took a quick look at the wares offered. Meh. Those sold in the VIP section in the lobby have better quality. He bought some sashimi and ramen instead. Noctis mad
Noctis could sense the inquisitive eyes of the onlookers behind his back. He can obviously picture their envious looks, and hear hushed murmurs all over the Lobby. He understood their viewpoint, as they don't often get to rescue a player in a dire situation, and a beautiful girl at that. Takara Erich remained seated on the ground not far from where Noctis just dueled her former Guild Master and won. She is too stunned to react at the sudden turn of events she just witnessed right in front of her. Noctis approached her, extended her a hand, then helped her get up. Then he noticed that she trembled while standing. So, he helped her get into a chair and sit down. He also ordered a fresh hot porridge to replace the one that Joe spit on. Noctis sat on a chair next to her and put an arm protectively over her while she hungrily ate the meal I bought. He waited for her to finish her meal while gazing at her. He couldn't help but look at her cute, good-looking face, with her flawless
Noctis did what he did not just because he pitied Takara, but also because it is practical to take advantage of what he knew about RPG Fantasia. He needed to gain and nurture potential allies who'll be major power players in the future. His years of experience in playing online games taught him to play smart, and plan two steps ahead of the enemy. He thought about the Scraper Guild. Will he use or discard them and give them a hard time when he encounters them again? He considered contacting his father so he can remove the Guild from those shortlisted for the Nobility Badge, and get the Scraper Guild back to square one. Perhaps Noctis can even have them eliminated. There must be a reason behind their Guild Leader being a bully. He also needs to approach his deceased brother's allies and get them on his side. He went to the next floor to challenge the first floor of the Novice Stage. There are 5 Stages in RPG Fantasia, namely Novice, Intermediate, Legendary, God Mode, and Creat
Hashioki at the main hideout of Orochi the eight-headed dragon, located on the 40th floor of RPG Fantasia. The house of Orochi reminded him of countless traditional houses scattered all over Japan. He chose to forego his usual clothing of suit and tie. He opted to wear the traditional black kimono with the words Orochi the Black Dragon on the back of the kimono with white ink, written in shodo. He also wore traditional Japanese slippers. White and yellow chrysanthemums dotted the open grounds outside the red gate going into the house, alongside Sakura blossom flowers and cherry blossom trees. A large sculpture of a black 8-headed dragon is placed right outside the gate. It’s been a long time since he last visited Orochi. Nothing has changed since he last visited the minor god. He noted that many people are busy meditating on mats or practicing tai chi n the courtyard garden right in front of Orochi’s house. In the back of the house is a pond garden where koi fish and carp a
