"Holy shit!" outside the dungeon in the jaws forest camping beneath a tree was a group of four these were the saviour guild and that shout belonged to Arnold.
He out of the three were shocked watching the video of Apex's beat down against the group of 10.
Satya the elf glared at him, "Did you have to shout like that?"
"I'm not apologising to any man seeing a stick shoved up another guy's ass or kicked in the balls can feel his pain, my shout is justified."
She crossed her arms mumbling, "I wish you felt that pain," to herself.
Besides the two where the red fox woman Blackswan, the silver fox woman Re-Bunny were scrutinising the video ignoring their friend's comments.
Blackswan nodded to herself having learned something, "I think we should send this to all our guild members," she said to her friend.
Agreed, "The way he fights..." Re-Bunny said.
"He's got anger issues for one, and two this isn't a game I just realised that from watching..." Satya commented, she had also learned from this video.
Arnold also nodded agreeing, "In what game is shoving a stick up someone's ass a skill, this means we aren't tied down by basic actions in the previous VR games," the green dragon king looked up to the sky and the other players waiting around him finally coming to enlightenment.
"So what now? I sent the videos to everyone, should we wait and gather then take another chance at it or not?" Blackswan asked she wanted to wait and see if Apex would really complete the dungeon on his own or if he was just talking.
Re-Bunny sighed her silver fox ears twitching, "We'll wait for him and see if he completes it."
"And if he does?" Arnold asks, "then we buy the information from him on how to clear it," she answered leaning back on the tree they surrounded.
"Hah finally a break," Satya sighed dropping her healing wand on the floor while she did that Arnold replayed the video of Apex's 1 v 10.
Blackswan was checking the market for anything, 'Oh his books have sold out already?' She was surprised but not as much as in the first time, 'he's already a millionaire now, huh.'
...
Inside the Tre-Ent dungeon
Thud!
Apex landed on the ground in a familiar superhero landing, he stood up cracking and stretching, He entered this dungeon on its normal difficulty. He planned to claim first on every three difficulties, normal, hard and hell mode.
He was confident to get first clears on normal and maybe hard as long as the monsters didn't get too intelligent but hell mode was a different story he decided to stay away from it for now.
"Ah, alright let's do this!" He roared wielding his spear, he quickly searched online and found his song,
[Playing: Whatever it takes!]
"Raah!" He charged into the dim cave the darkness was useless to him because of his night vision.
"Awoo!" Howls from a head lumps of moss and roots formed into wooden wolves! He counted four.
[Wood Wolf(Level 17)]x4
Health: 340/340 Mana: 170/170 Energy: 230/230
They were all around the same level, so he felt fine, He reeled one exploring spear back and!
Swish! Boom! Swish! Boom!
-100! -100!
"Raooh!" The wolves howled in pain not expecting the explosion, Apex grinned and dashed through the smoke appearing in their sight his spear already reeled back he swung repeatedly! He swung upwards launching one in the air and went for the other three that were burning!
Shunk -69! Shunk -69! Shunk -69!
[You have slain four wood wolves] [+68 Exp]
"Phew, alright!" He gripped his spear and charged in this time it was two wolves each level 19!
"Ooo!!" the left wolf roared a red aura covered Apex he was frozen!
"Raah!" He shouted using his paralysis skill on them.
[You have been paralysed for 3 seconds!]
Recovering they jumped to the side and charged at him he switched to his spear, he swung clashing with the first wolf on his right then the one on his left
-64! Bam
He kicked it away! And jumped back as the second dove for him, 'Heh' he smirked and trusted forwards the wood wolf unable to dodge in the air!
-193Crit! -5/s!
"Grrr!" It struggled as he thrust into its open mouth skewering it alive!
'Dead now the second one!' He turned to see the wolf stutter before growling inhaling air!
'Not again,' he switched spears and threw it.
Swish! "Awoo!" Boom!
It collided as the wolf howled launching it back in the air, not sparing and switching back the pink Birdman raised his wings and flew in the air faster and speared it in the guts as it landed!
Thud! -64! Bleeding! [+38 Exp]
"Huff... ha...'
"Man fuck this is harder than I... actually I can't remember this ha," he took out a splash potion from his inventory and threw it in front of him it exploded in green smoke, and he inhaled it in.
"Grrr!" He heard multiple growls from ahead and looked his face twisting, "That fucker called for back up."
He was counting 14! There were 20 monsters on the first floor and the wolf called them all here! Now normally he would run, but he didn't want to, and he came prepared.
"Oooh!" They all howled dashing towards him, 'I wish you were carnivores I would be so much easier to group you all with some meat!'
He sighed bending down as the pack came towards min with a gust of wind he took off to the peak of the ceiling it was mossy and covered in roots just like everywhere!
"Grr!" The wolves stopped beneath him circling waiting for him to come back down.
'Hehe!' He switched his spear and held two exploding spears in hand! He pretended to fly away, so they followed him but when he turned back, the form above the glowing eyes of the bird of prey was visible.
"Caw motherfuckers!"
Swish, swish, swish, swish...
Four exploding spears charged into the masses, and before they could take initiative to run
Boom!
They erupted in a fiery mess it was so beautiful seeing a bonfire of them and die, but the smoke forced Apex to move away,
Thud!
He landed back watching as the many of them died in place, but those near the outside were still alive smiling he walked towards them, burn and stun effects they were made of wood, so they don't bleed.
Shunk -69! Swish 69! shunk 69!
He repeated the process until the four remaining died as well.
[+252 Exp]
He sighed and walked deeper into the dungeon with his spear on his shoulder, outside the dungeon, many betted whether he would claim first place.
The second floor was similar in terms of monsters though he failed fighting three wolves, and they called all the others together, so he had to repeat the previous process however he was almost taken down.
One mad wolf tried to jump up and catch him by the feet it worked making him scream like a girl only briefly, but the end battle was the same with him winning.
[+360 Exp] [You have levelled up.]
[Tier: 0 Level 19 Exp: 303/1900] Coins: 448 gold 700 silver 15 bronze.
'Nice almost to level 20,' he smiled nodding to himself so far besides a few mix-ups he was doing well. He walked down the cave and eventually found a drop with vines leading the way down, like before he just jumped in spreading his wings to slow his fall.
He landed on the third floor there was more humidity in this floor and more moss, 'this would be a great time to know fire skills, but at the same time not since everything would catch on fire,' he sighed and went ahead carefully bosses and mini-bosses aren't limited to the final floors.
They can roam around freely and if you're unlucky you find them with all the other mobs, and then it's game over.
Apex gulped he didn't want that to happen to him but if it did then he'd have to bust out his exploding potions which he wanted to use as little as possible.
He carefully walked around the caves his path splitting into two he wasn't sure which to go.
...
Outside Still hanging around the tree where the others hanging around.
"I can't believe people are betting on him clearing don't they know how low the chances are!?" Satya groaned, watching the betting stream.
"But you're also taking part."
"Shut up Arnold I wasn't talking to you, and besides I'm betting he loses."
"Really? After what we've seen were betting he clears it," he remarked.
"Eh!? Blackswan, Re-bunny you too!?" the elf couldn't help her outburst looking at her friends Re-bunny looked away not wanting to see her reacting while blackswan shrugged.
"Deal with it the things he did he's exceptional so far and if he clears this on his own then it furthers his popularity," she smirked at her friend before going back to relaxing.
...
"Achoo! Uh..." Apex shook his head, he chose the right path, which was the right path.
Carefully, he peered around a corner '! How is the boss already wandering!'
What he saw was a 3-meter tall yeti made entirely of branches and moss-covered what would be considered fur and at the centre where the heart is replaced by a yellow stone.
[Wooden Yeti(Level 20)] [Mini boss]
Health: 1000/1000 Mana: 200/200 Energy: 800/800
[Wood Wolf(Level 17)]x7
Health: 340/340 Mana: 100/100 Energy: 300/300
'Eighty defence for the yeti hmm and predator roar won't wok on it, I can't separate them,' forming a plan, he went into his inventory and pulled out an orange potion.
'Good thing I've got this, and it has a weak spot...'
He calmed his thoughts moving back some distance he had three exploding potions, 'so long as the yeti isn't aware it'll leave its heard open after it'll close in two seconds, so I have to throw these immediately.'
He closed his eyes, took in a breath, got himself in a position and reeled back!
Woosh, woosh!
The orange potion went swirling through the air behind it, in its draft was a second and a third.
Following a curve, it reached the Wooden Yeti, just as it and the other wolves around noticed the object swimming through the air...
Boom, boom, BOOM!
They all collided and blew up one after the other!
"Rooooaar!!"
"Awoo!"
The yetis and wolves howled in the centre of the blast, the flames raged, Apex stood back watching the burning kill the wolves around.
[You have slain seven wolves] [+119 Exp]
"Roar!" The yeti roared as the flames died down its core shrunk back into its body, the burn marks on it were healing his body, not his health grew more as he increased in size it turned to spot him! With loud thuds, it charged towards the bird of prey!
"It's finally time, then, huh Let's fucking go!" He activated his ring feeling the power rise within him.
[Limit break has activated your power has increased by forty]
Power: (40)25[77] > (80)65[117]
He switched to his spear, and kicked off the ground! The Yeti roared one of its arms expanding and growing multiple sharp spikes!
"Roar!" Both made a mad dash ready to clash, "raaah!"
They botch clashed shaking the roots beneath them their continuous exchange of blows reverberated in the air! 'Damn! For being made out of wood your seriously tough!' He grunted dodging beneath one of its massive swings slashing upwards! -80! 'Yes!' this wooden yeti has 80 Energy meaning its attack and defence were the same so long as it doesn't have an energy skill, and the ring of growth allowed him to increase his strength boosting his power to equalling the mini-boss. Slash, slash! "Roar!" A green aura pushed Apex back slamming against the moss walls. Crack! -20 Hp Health: 280/300 Mana: 200/200 Energy: 600/650 'That was magic,' He coughed up blood looking up at the Yeti it sunk its fists in the ground growing into vines wooden spikes started shooting up from the ground heading towards him. "Nope," he said flying back to gain distance, but it didn't stop the spikes from rooting, with a second glance he notice
Outside the white pod hummed to life opening Felix waltzed out in a daze, boy was he tired he wasn't sure what time it was.[2nd January 2120 Sunday 01:40]"Oh," he gave and flopped on the bed.'I wonder what dad would say about moving house?' those were his last thought before he fell to sleep.Somehow Felix magically woke up just before his alarm and shut it off."Old habits die hard," he smiled getting up from bed, some light stretches and a warm bath, and he headed down for some breakfast."Dad?"His father sitting with a cup in his hand nodded to greeting back before pointing to the table with a serious look on his face, "son take a seat.""Sure... is everything alright?""I'm asking the questions here, I.

"Ha!" Felix sprung out of bed, his face shaking in sweat, "Hah, what where?" he looked at his hands staring at something alien."My hands aren't wrinkly... my old room... is this death? I remember uh my head ah!"His head throbbed a wave of pain ruptured his mind due to his reincarnation there was a matter of two souls existing in one body his older worn out mature one and his young fresh self.Two souls couldn't exist in the same body no matter the origins but since they were similar, one teeming with life and the other old and worn down a consensus was agreed, and both spiritual bodies merged into a new one bright with life yet showing the sparks of experience.Felix was reborn anew.And with this rebirth memories of what's to come flooded his mind, some thoughts about who won leagues and events and lotteries flooded first, then the memories of his actions that led to his miserable life."Ha... ha... I-I can't believe it," his eyes watered
The moment he dove in, his mind was transported to a battlefield, watching a war wage on from the skies."Long ago all nations were living in harmony, but everything changed when the-""Skip, I want to register my username first, and I choose to join neither faction," he spoke to the sky everything paused and vanished leaving him into absolute black.Shing!A sparkly light appeared in front of him, out of it came a little fairy with pink hair and wings."Greetings adventurer, my name is Pixie, but I am also known as Gaia in the world of fallen this is just one of my many forms, I will be your guide to prepare you for the next world!""Nice to meet you, Pixie.""Great!

Hah, Oof!""From graphics alone, this is a 10/10."He heard the praises from the others all around him, at this moment everyone had entered the game and everyone was equal, with no silver or golden spoon.The developers of Fallen Online wanted a fair experience for you when currency exchange becomes an option in 6 months, all the rich bastards thinking they can buy their way to the top would be wrong. The exchange works one way.There was no inventory only the status screen, market and internet connection, everyone entered with a grey set of clothes.He looked at the ground seeing some bluegrass and started picking them up. They were mixed in with green grass and needed a closer look to be found

"Oh, he put the guides back up," Blackswan said checking the market like before. "Hold on, Apex!" Arnold called out to the pink man, "yes?" he turned back to the green dragonkin. "Are you going to attempt the Tre-Ent Dungeon?" he asked emphasising the word attempt. "Yes I am, and before you ask I plan on doing it solo," Apex didn't want to share the loots, and he was going to attempt every difficulty and wanted to do it alone. "What that's insane, you're insane! It doesn't work like that, you can't solo everything!" Satya shouted she felt like she just met the most egotistical person in her life thinking he could do anything alone because of some achievement that made him popular. Although some of her hate came from jealousy as she calculated how much he made honestly, and now he had just doubled that. "I beg to differ," Apex shrugged and left, he needed to learn his potion-making skill. ... Apex was sitting in a grey r
[2nd January 2120 Saturday 9:12 am] "Mn..." Apex groaned in bed. He woke up and tried to push himself out of bed, only to flop. 'I need more power!' he tried again to push himself, but the urge to sleep was stronger! Flop! 'Uh, I can't win!' he struggled once more, with some epic music to fuel him. The song reached its best part. "Ha!" he pushed himself out of bed. He got up, looking back down. 'One minute wouldn't hurt,' [10:03 am] One minute became another until he fell back into sleep, "Yawn... I regret nothing." Moments later he left the shower with his phone in hand, "The hell is with the internet?" He checked YouTube the moment he entered and found a video on him to be on the recommended page. "Who is Apex? Frances hidden expert. Hahaha, I'm not hiding," he laughed changing himself and heading downstairs, on the table he found breakfast already made with a letter for him, "Thanks, dad." He scrolled more and paused
