"urhhuh", what happened where am I, "ahhhh" it hurts like hell, my whole body is in pain, how did I become like this, I should retrace my memories to remember what really happened, yes let me see the last thing I remember is me and my brothers fighting against a boy that claims he his a player, after beating us to into a death like state he started asking questions about players that is all I can remember, I should open my eyes to survey my surroundings ah but it hurts, moving even a muscle of any parts of my body hurts like hell but I have to endure it, slowly yes I can do this, "uhh" a white porcelain roof and this fluffy feeling underneath am I in a room "oh you are awake, your endurance is top notch you know that", who said that is it from my left, alright I will slowly move my eyes to the left "you have still got a lot of healing to do so do not stress your body too much", Holy is that an angel wait maybe I really did die after all it is not possible for a human to be that beautiful, I looked to my right and there lays Barrett and Rai but still what is with all this bandage on us even with my healing abilities to think I could be reduced to this truly pathetic.
Three days have passed and the wounds are starting to close up, I asked miss angel for the identity of the person that brought us here but she refused to say anything until we fully recover, during the three days the three of us tried our hardest to fasten up our recovery, although it took us three whole days we are finally free from the stench of the bandage and we will also be able to see our savior, seeing the room we are in makes it obvious that the person is a player as well.
Avina> alright I will call him in now, whatever happens I want you guys to remain calm can you do that for me
Barett> yes miss anything you say we shall abide by
the hell is he drooling while speaking, well I should not be too surprised I mean she really is pretty
Avina> Gelios you can come in now
The door creeks open and there stands a boy, "what the no way" the one who saved us is also the demon that put us in that position in the first place
Barett> hey!!! The hell is this miss angel what is going on here, why is that bastard here
Barett stands up from his seat and takes on a defensive form while Rai maintained his composure, Barett has never been able to bottle up his anger so it is understandable that he would react like that, but the common sense in him should have told him that trying to start another batter is pointless since the difference in our abilities is like day and night unless of course he wants to go back to wearing the bandage
Paton> hey Barett calm down
Barett> but big bro this fucker is the one that
Paton> I know I am not blind but remember what we promised miss angel so we should at least try to hear him out first, his reasons for doing what he did.
Right now it feels like I am being scolded by my parents, when I told the little monster (Avina) what transpired between us she gave me a real life changing scolding all just to make me see how wrong I was and I am also aware of it which is why the right thing to do is to first apologize, I bow my head deeply and began my apology speech
Gelios> I am sincerely sorry for what I did to you guys and to your base, but in my defense seeing those hybrids for the first time ticked me off and I am the type to launch at my curiosity head on
Paton> those people you call hybrids have been existing since ages ago now they have become the norms of society only someone who has been living in a secluded location would not know that
Gelios> well um you are right and I am really sorry but umm there is one thing I would like for you to explain to me, about the Dungeon you spoke of the other day
Paton> are you not a player? then you should know what I am talking about
Gelios> I do not, I have tried whatever methods I could in the past three days but I have no idea of how to manifest it
Paton> alright I will explain, dungeons are the general reward a player gets when they complete their synchronization test
Gelios> synchronization test, I have not heard anything about that
Paton> well it is simply what it says, when a player gets Transmigrated to this world the body and soul will not be in harmony since originally our soul does not belong in this body it is a stranger to it, the synchronization test is what will help join the souls wavelength and the body wavelength together
Gelios> I partly understand that so apart from the Dungeon you mentioned is there any other rewards for completing the synchronization test
Paton> well for one you avoid the risk of not going berserk and also being able to draw out the full potential of your body
Gelios> ehn berserk
Paton> yes like I said earlier, currently your body and soul are not in harmony like your body is too strong for your soul to handle, think of it like this you have a large size water tank and a small size straw, when you put in the straw it will not get to the very end of the tank only halfway through, now your soul which is the straw ends up sucking out the water from the tank but like I said since it does not reach to the very end of the water tank it will be unable to suck out all the water in the tank, the remaining water with no soul to keep it in check ends up rampaging until it finishes and in a case like that the player ends up dying.
Gelios> hey when you say die you mean metaphorically rightPaton> no I mean realistically, you should know that right now your body is like a walking time bomb and the moment your soul gets disconnected from your water tank it will rampage to its heart desires until you die, but you should know that your time of death will depend mostly on how much mana you have to rampage withGelios> what do I have to do to start the synchronization trialPaton> no idea, it randomly appears and no one knows the condition for activating it, all we know is the word system gives us a notification for when the trial begins and when we complete it the word system goes away as wellGelios> word system I have not heard about that yet, damn it why is there so much I do not know about, it is like I am not being treated as a playerRai> it might be because you are not active enough in society, we are all folks who live with the humans of this world but according to what you said about being in isolation from
Meng Jia unlocks the room and barges in abruptly without any concern for who is insideMeng Jia> hey Guo Zhelan get your ass up we have some investigating to carry outGuo Zhelan the second elder of the lightning sword Sect rises from his bed and stretches his bodyGuo Zhelan> you know there is a thing called knocking rightMeng Jia> we have no time for that now, get dressed and meet me outsideGuo Zhelan> hey what is the rush if there is an emergency then leave it to the core disciples that is what they are there forMeng Jia> this is something beyond them, if we send them out they might dieGuo Zhelan> is it that seriousMeng Jia> I am not really sure since I am unable to rate the energy I felt but I know for sure that it is not something we should underestimateGuo Zhelan> hmm alright I will be with you in a minute thenPaton> I do not understand, how exactly is a Sect supposed to help you in activating the trialGelios> if my lack of communication really is what delayed my trial t
When I took the three brothers to my weapon storage they beamed with excitement, it is to be expected after all in LASK there are players who are willing to betray their long time partner in exchange for a good weapon, there are also those willing to offer anything they can all just to get close to a blacksmith class player so seeing my weapon collection would definitely freak out a lot of players considering how rare such weapons would be in this world.I told the three brothers to select any weapons of their choice as a form of atonement and also a bribe, leaving them to their choices I headed to town to recruit my disciples, since I have been there once I am able to use teleportation to go anytime I see fit.I already said I was not going to recruit any young master as my disciple, what I am going for is the less privilege, no matter what world it is there will always be those like that and my aim is to bring such folks under me it would be really fun watching them grow but the pro
Guo Zhelan> hey what are you doing right now, how can you just attack someone else's houseMeng Jia> am trying to force out the perpetratorGuo Zhelan> ohh and you did not consider what reaction they would give if they see their house destroyedMeng Jia> then what should I have doneGuo Zhelan> well for one how about just going there to askMeng Jia> are you stupid, who knows what evil intents they harbor, if I do not strike first then I will be the one on the receiving end of itGuo Zhelan> "sigh" there is no winning an argument against you is there"boom"Guo Zhelan> "what" the" did you hold backMeng Jia> I did notGuo Zhelan> then why is the house not destroyedGelios> well that is because there is a barrier protecting it from any physical attacksGuo Zhelan> what barrier are you talki "uhhhh"The two moved away from their initial position as they heard the voice that answered their question, in that place stands a boy with his arms folded against each other and looking relaxedGu
Guo Zhelan> so what you are saying is you are all from a World entirely different from this one and instead of Qi you make use of Mana is that itGelios> yes in the simplest form,After the commotion outside I managed to make peace with the unexpected guests and invited them into the house to explain my origin but I am surprised to see they know nothing about players or manaGelios> hey Paton what is going on here, did you not say players have become the norms of society if so why do this people not know anything about Mana and PlayersPaton> I did say that but cultivators are different, they cannot really be classified as a part of the society since they live above it and they rarely associate with the people below ground except for recruitment day when they want to scout for talented disciples or when something that can aid in their cultivation is located below grounds, those two reasons are mainly why cultivators involve themselves with society, the only cultivators you will see am
Meng Jia> looking down on me because he got lucky, do not for once think I will go easy on youMeng Jia fell prey to my taunt as she agreed to fight Avina and like I promised I brought them to the training room which wowed them a lot especially the two cultivators.Paton> hey are you really sure about this, you might have outdone her does not mean you should underestimate her, her cultivation base is two times higher than Avina, she is a Martial God while Avina is a Martial Monarch the difference is not something that should be glossed overGelios> not to worry everything is going to be fine, infact I am glad it ended in a situation like thisBarrett> what are you talking about, do you not care about the pretty miss at allGelios> what do you mean not care, Avina is the number one person I care about most in this world, she is like my second heart and I would go to any lengths to make her feel satisfiedRai> if that is true then why are you letting her fight against someone of a highe
Avina> "Mystic Art First Form Force Push"The tip of the sword was only a pinch away from Avina's neck when suddenly Meng Jia was sent flying away, Meng Jia instantly reacted by crossing her two hands together in a defensive form, her back hit the wall and she fell to the floorGuo Zhelan> what technique was that, I have never heard of it beforePaton> same here it is not a skill used by playersGelios> it is a skill created by her, she manipulates the surrounding energy to her favor and what she did right now is coat herself in that energy then when the opponent made contact with her the force acted like some kind of polar magnet causing her to be blown away, honestly I do not fully understand the scope of the ability all I know is it is a very powerful and unique ability that is limited only to her, I tried copying it once and I failed, in the end what I used was just brute force and not the ability.Guo Zhelan> created a skill? My admiration for her is soaring high "that is if it i
Gelios> so you are saying you want us to join your SectThis people must have been really impressed with Avina's skills to extend a recruitment offer to usGuo Zhelan> yes that is what we just said, if you agree, we will give you a position of an elder and the girl will be immediately promoted to being a Core disciple and on top of that we will provide high grade elixers for the miss here while you will be payed fifty thousand gold gem as your monthly wageBarrett> oiy!!!! Is this not cheating, what kind of an unfair situation is this, when we came into this world we had to work everyday and in a month all we get is one hundred silver gem and even after becoming a collector the highest our monthly wage amounts to is two hundred gold gem, and you are now offering him fifty thousand gold gems without doing anything like what the heckRai> such is the ways of the cultivator, only the strong are favored while the weak are neglected so if you think it is unfair then try getting strongerPa
