Finn put his blade into the chest of the dragon, carving out its heart and putting it into a bag he had carried along with him."Let's introduce ourselves properly, we're Dungeon Crawl. A party of four, you already know me but I am Sophia Kingsblade, lead mage of the party and these are my party members." Sophia started."I am Ander Lagris, Knight of the group. As you saw by my earlier demonstration my strength is on par with the higher-level adventurers of the guild." Ander laughed garishly, his masculine features shining as he did."I'm Rook, Rook Withershay, I'm the secondary mage. My job is to stop and distract the enemy while Ander and Sophia deal the heavy-hitting attacks." Rook dropped his staff on the ground, wiping his face."Nice to meet you... didn't you say four? I count three. Did your fourth not come?" Finn inquired and the party looked at each other, their faces sour as they did. "He's dead." Sophia pointed toward a charred body that lay on the ground. "He was our attac
Finn woke up on the shield of another adventurer, he rubbed his hand over his face and sat up, looking around at his surroundings. His memory was blurry and all he could vividly remember was being passed drinks until he passed out. "Hangoverrrr hurrtttss." He got up, stumbling until he got to a wall he could lean on."Good morning, Finn." Yelan greeted and Finn gazed at her momentarily before holding his mouth, stopping himself from puking on the ground."Hi... Yelan.""Fun night right? Martha made a decent amount as well, only the first round was free." Yelan wrote something on a piece of paper as she spoke."Is that so? I'm gonna go upstairs... the quicker I pass out... the better my well-being becomes." Finn stumbled as he walked toward Martha's bar."There are no spare rooms by the way," Yelan said as she worked. "Martha's rooms have been packed up for a while now.""Argh." Finn fell onto the floor, making inaudible noises as he did."By the way, there's a mission for you," Yelan u
For countless miles, Exodus journeyed across the desolate expanses of the outlands. His master had tasked him with a mission to seek out those yearning to shed their weaknesses, and he dedicated months to fulfilling this daunting quest. At last, he had accomplished his mission.He walked into a structure that was within the outlands, within it were hundreds of men and women who had seemed to be losing their patience."When are you going to make us demons!" One of them shouted at the top of his lungs."You've kept us here for months! What is this, some kind of scam?!"Exodus walked toward the front where Leviathan, another one of the demons had stood. "Did any more show up?" Exodus asked as he dusted his clothes."Nope," Leviathan said as he yawned. "So are actually making them demons or are we slaughtering them?""The former Leviathan. Lord Merlo wants to test if it's possible to create an evolved demon from a human." "Why, doesn't that destroy the entire purpose of our battle?" Levia
Merlo downed a prestigious glass of wine and truly appreciated the taste of the divine brew, if he could choose who would remain in the world he would most certainly pick the farmer that cultivated the crops and distilleries that created the wine.However, all thing's must come to an end including his stay at the Trailing Rosé. He swiped his arm along the tables and gently tapped the floors with his feet. Maybe he would create another one in the paradise/ that would spawn from the eradication of humans. He wasnt sure. However, there was one thing he was very sure about."Sleek mahogany tables, marble tiled walls and an interior decor that would please even michealangelo." Merlo pointed his hand toward the south. "This is where Vancrest should be...maybe a little bit more to the left."[Earth magic: World splitter], the earth rumbled as a shockwave was sent through it. A crack manifested from his foot before going out to the world, trees cried, mountains crumbled and the most pleasant
He awoke confused with a chill going down his spine and a constant headache pounding in his head. He was having trouble focusing as his eyes darted all over the place. He eventually managed to sit up as his vertigo subsided, and when he did so, he gradually became aware of his surroundings. People were sleeping soundly beside him and along his sides."Urghh." He thought to himself before getting up to get a better look at his surroundings.The room enveloped him in darkness, yet his eyes had adjusted enough to make out the shapes and forms within. The amount of visibility he had wasn't as good as it was in the day but for now, it would suffice, watching his step, he walked over till he reached the source of the voice."Hey, you! Come over here." The voice called out again.Was approaching a foreign voice the wisest course of action in this situation, given that it was dark, he didn't know why he was here, and neither did he know who these guys were. The only thing he could value more t
Though it seemed like a long journey through a never-ending void, Finn eventually popped out into a room after he was subjected to what could be explained as "a rollercoaster through darkness." Finn held his mouth trying to push back the vomit he almost spewed on the all-white floors. "All white floors," Finn looked above him seeing nothing but white, the opposite of the last room he was put in."Choose your class." A blue panel popped up from what seemed like thin air.Finn stood there quietly for what seemed like minutes before asking himself if a floating panel just popped out of thin air. "I don't know how you did the last bit but the budget for this prank is insane.""Pick your class." The floating panel said again and Finn slowly walked toward it.Finn looked underneath the floating panel, passing his hands both above and below it to look for strings that might have propped it up. "Really, really... high budget." Finn looked at the blue panel and written on it was what he last
A man walked on a roof, his clothes tattered and torn and his tie within his palm. He touched the guard railing that prevented exactly what he wanted to do. "Fuck." He sighed. He hated this place. He hated his life."Wake up... wake up... goddamn it Sir, wake up!" Dusk screamed and Finn popped up from bed drenched in sweat."Christ." Finn held his head. "What is it, what do you want?""We have to test out your abilities.""Let's just do this tomorrow," Finn got back in bed but jolted back up when Dusk sent a shock through his body."I need to gauge your strength and class, that way we can hide it more efficiently tomorrow." "Aren't you my class or something, figure it out." Finn fell back onto the bed and Dusk shocked him again."I'm your assistant sir. "Dusk continued." We need to do this Sir, thats if you want to not risk being investigated for having stats above the humanly possible stat limit.""I hate when your right." Finn opened his eyes looking straight at the ceiling. "Let's
Slaying a quartet of goblins was the trial Finn needed to conquer to earn his adventurer's permit. "Umm. Emma. Shouldn't I have been the one to kill the goblins?""Oh, Yelan didn't inform you about my methods." Emma cleaned her hands. "You know Gales hasn't been having the best coppers in recent years.""Isn't Iron only two places above Copper?" Finn thought to himself, he dared not say it after seeing what she did to the goblins.[Air construct: Chair] Emma gracefully seated herself upon a invisible chair, inducing a slight chuckle from Finn, who swiftly regained his composure."Killing four goblins. Kill one Gui. Kill two Jinxes. These are monsters a group of villagers with a pitchfork can kill. At copper-5 you'd take stronger quests than these, so why set the bar so low?" Emma folded her arms. "I understand the Ianbris guild needs more talent but even still... Well, whatever you thought we were doing today it would be better if you removed that from your mind.""What do you mean?"

The battlefield crackled with the clash of elemental powers as Darwin faced off against Void. Flames danced gracefully around Darwin's outstretched hands, each flicker a testament to his mastery over fire. In stark contrast, Void manipulated the very fabric of space itself, compressing it to create razor-sharp edges or pushing with a gravitational force that threatened to crush his opponent.Jared, watching the unfolding battle, felt a surge of realization. "I knew it," he whispered, his eyes narrowing as he witnessed the intensity of the elemental confrontation.As flames soared and space contorted, Paige remained at Darwin's side, her eyes focused on the mysterious cauldron at Void's side. An idea sparked within her, and she swiftly reached for her trusty gun."I've got a plan," Paige declared, determination gleaming in her eyes.Darwin, enveloped in a protective barrier of swirling flames, nodded. "Do it."Paige loaded her gun with precision, the rhythmic click of the magazine echoi
"Ahh, now i see why Gemini couldn't finish you off." Valley jumped out of the wall he had been launched into, landing onto the ground with a thud, his body already having regenerated Finn's earlier attack."But still, he said he got you pretty good. How did you allow that happen if you're so strong.""You talk too much." Finn darted toward Valley and to everyone else who watched the fight, his run was more of a flicker.[Triple boost] Finn used boost, however this time onthe ground. He darted behind Valley catching the demon off guard before kicking him again into the sky. The second boost was used to push himself into the air to kick Valley higher into the air and the last boost was used to push Finn into the air above him.Finn primed his leg for a descending kick, however in an instant Valley grabbed his leg, throwing him toward the bell he had been thrown toward earlier. "You have strength however, your use of it is predictable.""Predictable huh." Finn's daggers materialized once
In the heart of the enigmatic Qinqi Forest, Roman found himself disoriented, standing beside Val, the enigmatic figure responsible for their sudden teleportation. His ability was a unique one even within his clan, it was one that allowed him to set multiple checkpoints in certain locations and instantly teleport toward them.Teleportation wasn't unheard off in their world however it was a very unique ability and the clan abilities that resembled it, were useless in battle due to their abilities conditions. However Val had no conditions on his ability, apart from a checkpoint having being open prior.Roman's immediate concern was the absence of his fellow magistrates and Liric, who were supposed to accompany them.With a perplexed look on his face, Roman turned to Val. "Where are the others?" He demanded. "Weren't we supposed to be sent to the same place?"Val, his eyes portraying a sinister glint, smirked and replied, "Seems like my ability went a bit haywire, its not the first time so
Finn ran down an open path in the cave that led to where the dragon's roar had come from. He had been eager to test his abilities but as he turned a corner and saw the large beast, his previous eagerness turned into a will to run.Beneath the dragon were adventurers who fought it, and beneath the adventurers were corpses with iron plates strapped onto their chests. Finn had seen enough death in his time at the academy but it was always awful to see such a thing, despite how much he thought he had gotten used to the sight. It was just one of those things that the body would never get used to. Finn stopped in his tracks, there were a multitude of adventurers all attacking the dragon, using their spells and weapons however their attack bounced off the colossal beast like pebbles thrown at an iron wall."That's it, I'm done!" One adventurer uttered, turning back and heading toward Finn but as he made his move to retreat the dragon unleashed a fiery onslaught that burnt him down to ash in
Emirus triggered a massive fire spell aimed directly at the titan-like entity, yet within the shadow realm, Mura orchestrated the darkness to swiftly absorb the spell the moment it was conjured. "So you're gonna be like that."Emirus dogded a punch sent toward him by the Titan, rolling over to the side of the realm. There were two ways to deal with large scale containment techniques and Emirus only had one way within his arsenal.[Scorch Magic: Molten Spearhead] Emirus placed his hands on the ground and from directly the Titan were several spearheads made out of lava, he had expected the spell to be absorbed by the darkness and his expectations were on the spot. "Using the same techniques inside my spell will get you no where, adventurer." Mura tapped her staff on the ground and several other Titans spawned from the darkness. "Kill him."Each of them charged toward Emirus and a little smirk could be seen on the face of the adventurer. "You seem to forget why I'm where i am within Vanc
The small western like doors of the bar were opened and they walked in. They looked around as they did and they sat down on the opposite side of the bar where they could see its entirety."What do you want, Sir?" The waiter walked up to them, holding a check-board in her hand."We're fine on the food, all we have are some questions." The man on of the two spoke. "Come closer." The waiter, stopped for a while before putting her head closer to the mans face. "Do you want to die with these people?" He asked and she stepped back."Darwin, you're gonna scare her to death." His companion hit his knee. "Sorry darling, we just mean. Do you want to go down with the dumb fucks in here?!""And here you are making it worse, Paige." Darwin slammed his head as he sighed. "So whats your answer waitress-lady? You gonna out the demon you guys are hiding in the back or are we going to have to tear through the building ourselves."He knows about the demon kill them!" One of the men got up, within his ar
