Wesley looked at the zombies and the man they were following. It was like they were following his orders. “Is that even possible? There is no way he should be able to control zombies. Although there is much to this world that I have not yet discovered,” Wesley was looking at the hoard as they were following the man.Wesley didn't know how he was going to be able to even find out who the man was, what he could do or what level he was. ‘There has to be something about him that should show me what level he is, there is no telling what this man can do. I rather not attack him without even knowing what level he is on.’ Wesley checked his arsenal and he saw an invincibility cloak, he definitely could not hold himself back from checking what the man was. He wore the cloak and headed to get a closer look at the man and for him to understand what he was dealing with. Wesley was walking slowly, he didn't even want to make any slip-up. Wesley reached the hoard and it was clear to him that s
Wesley was scared and there was no sign of a way he would be able to survive the attacks from the man. “Are you not from the beta testing? What are you talking about? You should be like me and all the other players!” “You don't know what you are talking about boy! I am greater than you in every way and there is nothing you can do to reach me! I am one of the hands of the great Lord's shadow! You will serve him or die!” The man drew his sword and launched for Wesley, there was nothing ordinary about his power or his aura. “I hope you are ready to die!” Wesley blocked the man's attack but it was like he was a well-equipped warrior who wasted no time fighting low-ranked warriors and Wesley was going to have a hard time winning. Each blow was backed with a harder stronger wave that seemed to always shatter Wesley's defence and it would always come two times harder. ‘This guy is not like a normal fighter, he is a berserker and there is no way I would be able to beat him.’ Wesley immed
Wesley was not even in his right senses to say anything to Lily, he was following her as she supported him out the fight’s way. They could still hear the clashes of the two warriors who were battling to make sure that someone was going down. It was not even clear to him how strong the man was or even whom the warrior was that came to his aid. “I told you to make sure you don’t run into anyone that would kill you, there you went and bumped into someone that would not only kill you but he will make you his slave after you die.” Lily was sounding worried, she was not normally like that with people but it was a bit strange that she was even worrying over Wesley. Wesely who was still quiet didn’t know what he was going to say but he knew that he was saved the moment she came by, it was only that moment that he saved her from all the troubles. “I was trying to convince myself that it was a nightmare but it turned out that he was not even on my level, the gap was too scary and I wanted to
“Who or what in the world is the shadow? What player is that? And how strong can he be that would make him almost like a god? There has to be an explanation as to why he is so strong?” Wesley was restless, he learned that there was a being stronger and deadlier than the man he faced. It was only a matter of time till fate brought them together and it was not a fight he was ever going to be ready for. Lily was quiet, it was like she was scared to say anything but she looked at Wesley and saw the eagerness in his eyes. There was no telling how far Wesley would go to learn the truth but she knew that she needed to make sure that nothing was going to make him think otherwise. “You see, there was a time when there were no such things as gods but there were beings that had the powers equal to what you would call level 100. But the shadow was not one of those beings.” Wesley was a bit confused, he didn’t understand what she meant that shadow was not one of them. "It was strange but there
“So that was the great Tempest? There is nothing special about him, there is no way he would do anything to me.” The cloaked man was still standing there with his hoard of zombies, he had a smile. He was happy that he got to fight Wesley and it was not what he had expected, he thought that Tempest would have killed him. “And here I thought the warrior named Tempest would be much of a challenge for me and there is no way I would be able to defeat him. But there is no way that I expected him to be a weakling.” He was smiling at the thought of Wesley being that weak. “I see you are rather happy,” A voice said from behind the man, he stopped laughing and turned. It was like he was not expecting the voice, and he was not even sure he would be happy to see the person. “What in the world are you doing here? I wonder why you think it is nice to show up here like this, Jester.” The man turned to look at another man with a mask on. He had a strong physical appearance, his aura made the zom
“How on earth are there five of them and I was facing the weakest? That is something that should not be possible, this world should not be that vast.” Wesley looked at Beck, he was shocked to hear that there were more people like Mashle. Beck looked at him and he knew that Wesley would find it hard to believe, he too had found it hard to believe at first but there were more people in the world than anywhere he had seen. “You know that there is no way this would exist without a villain or god for them to fear. At first, I thought that there was nothing there that would even keep me from levelling up. That was when I bumped into Shadow's minions.” Beck was looking down, he didn't know how he was going to explain it all to Wesley and let him understand that the world they were in was something that they would have to make sure that they didn't die in. “You see Shadow is something that I don't want to meet now. He is somewhat a beast above all the levels I have seen and to reach Shad
Wesley had decided to follow Beck to make sure that he was going to get stronger. There was nothing that he would not give for the strength he would get. “You know shifting from the mission you have at hand would mean that you are trying to make sure you avoid the goddess’ message,” Lily spoke up looking at Wesley, she was trying to see what he would say when she told him those words. Wesley paused for a minute, he knew that there was no way he was going to get as strong as Beck if he was to limit himself like that and there was nothing there that would prepare him for another encounter with a stronger opponent. “You know, I would want to make sure that the next time someone like Mashle pops up I would be able to survive and make sure that nothing was going to make him try to kill me.” “But you can see his power is out of this world and you would have to train yourself and make sure that there is nothing that would stop you from reaching his level. And you also need to make sure th
“Alright then, we should be heading out. I don't need anything to slow us down or make us lose our path.” Beck smiled as he looked at Wesley, both of them were ready to go on the quest to get stronger and make sure that no one was going to stand in their way. “Tempest,” Lily called out, but she muttered it so it was impossible to hear her. Wesley and Beck looked at her, they saw that she was looking down. It was clear that she had something to say. “May I join you? I know you might not want me to but I will be of some help and I will make sure that there is no problem whatsoever. I just need to join you.” Lily was looking at the duo, they had a faint smile on their face showing that they were happy that she said what she wanted and not what was not on her mind. “You are always free to join us, you didn't need to ask you just needed to follow us and make sure that you keep up and that was all.” Wesley smiled, he was glad that it wasn't an attempt to stop him but she was only worri
"Here's the plan, you use your ember to place is all in an invisible demarcation. At least it can last for a whole day and that should do!" Strong chuckled. "I have a different plan. The ember is powerful, wave it and she'll be puffed into a little rat!" "No, it doesn't work that way, Lily," Wesley laughed. I'll just say we would get on the ship and watch her moves, she just might not have that instinct, seeing we're already headed for an even greater battle." Wesley added, pasting a nervous, light smile on his face. "Good thing to have each and everyone of you on my back. I hope you'll enjoy the ride and don't forget to come back for more. As you all know, we're headed for the tower of decision, some of you are headed there for business, some for bargain and some for... Battle. Eitherways we're all headed in the same direction, so let's stick together and we'll definitely see each other on the other side! See you on the other side!" Menon explained. They sat put on a shaky be
They arrived at the nearest harbour on the beach. Goffer, the witch at the Street of Confusion, had mentioned the name of the ship to be, Menon. They got to the harbour and continued to make their inquiries. "Hello. Please we're in search of a certain ship, it's named, Menon." "Oh Men? He just started on another voyage. You'll have to wait two days, that's how long it takes him to return from a voyage to the other side." "Okay then, any place to maybe sleep and freshen up here?" "Not at all. I thought you're trying to see a possibility to stay around so we don't miss the ship when it comes." "Oh, no one misses the ship. Except they want to miss it. When the ship returns, it makes a loud, deafening sound, so that everyone knows his back and those who would need to get on the ship would make themselves available. There's a hotel, just opposite us. You can stay there for the next two days." "Alright. Thanks a lot. We appreciate." As they entered the hotel room. It was very co
"Welcome." She said. "Just follow me. I'll show you the most intriguing sight in the entire world." "Alright, I'm following you. Intrigue me!" He chuckled. The mermaid had granted him the temporary ability to breathe under water as long as he was close to her. He lost the ability of he went farther. They swam on to the deepest depth of the ocean, until they arrived at what looked like a city under the water. "I've been here before. We just even left off this 'water city' when you met me." Wesley added. "Oh really? Then how come I never met or saw you?" "I don't know, it's a big city, so that's very much possible." "Here, this is my room." They had now arrived at a huge mansion. Wesley saw Merpeople swimming across and above, going about their needed duty. It all seemed like a different planet under the water. "I'll love for you to meet my parents." "Meet you're parents?" "I only came here to see the most intriguing sight on earth, nothing more." "I know. You could as well
As the continued on. They were suddenly expunged from the tunnel. They were now in the sea, and in the mist of the red fog. It smelt like human blood. "What is all that red stuff?" Wesley asked, turning to Lizot. She was excellent at history. "For the first time, I'm just blank, Wesley. But you can ask the ember and see, if any answers would be provided." "Why ask an ember when I'm right here for you?" They all turned to see the pixelated whale. "I'm the messenger whale, I help drowned players make it to where they can breathe. But from the way you folks look, you're not lost in anyways. Or am I wrong? Please let me know." He said fluffing his huge fins, he had a deep baritone voice that seemed to echoe through out the oceans. "Are the Merpeople aware of your presence?" "Who are the Merpeople?" Strong questioned. "They are the major inhabitants of the ocean. They are like you, they have your physical appearance, the only difference is they possess fish tails, fins and default a
"There's one thing, getting to the Tower of Decision and there's another, finding Lord Shadow. Well when you get there, you'll figure it out yourself!" "Alright! It seems you'll rather be a blind witch!" "No. No. No. Wait. When you get to the Beach of Riddles, there's a ship that speaks, it's name is Menon. It's the only ship that would be able to take you all over to the other side of the sea, that's where you find the tower. Can I go now?" "Sure". She walked off into the thin air, as if there was an open door in front of her. "You've heard the direction she gave. "What's the next step now?" Wesley asked looking in the direction of Lily and Lizot. "We start heading on as she stated." A notification popped on the screen.'Tempest, you have delayed at a particular spot. The time is ticking, the game is rolling, don't be left behind.' "Ouch! Didn't see that coming." Immediately he said this words, he began running in the direction needed, as stated by Goofer, the witch. Strong fol
The mini-boss had forgotten to mention to Wesley the fact that he would go through the Street of Confusion on his way to the Tower of Decision through the Beach of Riddles. They had slowly arrived at the Street called Confusion, without even knowing it. The fairies, Lily and Lizot were well aware of this, but were too engulfed in their conversation to realize how far gone they were on their path. They slowly came to a street with the sign post, 'Welcome To The Street Of Confusion', it was indeed confusion. They had been on the street, long before they saw a sign post indicative of where they were. The street was also actually longer than it seemed to be. Most players ended up here, being swirled away by one thing or the other. Wesley also noticed that it was hard to understand what the inhabitants of this street said when they spoke, because the words were all juggled up and confusing. The feminine voice they heard belonged to a witch who lived on that street. She was the only one w
Suddenly Wesley is suspended in the air. The two mini-bosses watch in astonished. Suddenly they disappeared into thin air as well as the cage he was put in. Wesley, amazed and confused at the same time with regards to what had just happened, however continued his journey on. He was now heading towards the tower of decision, he remembered everything he was told earlier by one of the mini-bosses he had met. He muttered to himself, "tower of decision? How am I supposed to get there now!" "She would guide you" he heard White's voice say from behind him. "Ouch! You sure scared the hell out of me! What the heck!" He exclaimed as he sat back on a golden pillar standing in front of him. He was now in the Golden City, an immensely beautiful city, just after the bridge of Despair. He had appeared here since he was victorious at the bridge. Few players make it past the bridge. "You're slowly coming to the end of the game. I must commend your strength and tenacity, there have been so many pla
"I don't know Son, please save me, don't let them have me, I saw them kill a young lady, right in front of me. I think she was a player or a relative to one of the players who couldn't meet up to their request." "Mother, I'm sorry you have to go through this. Please try to stay as calm as possible, I've got this. I'm gonna get you out of here. What was the request the player failed to fulfill?" "I can't remember!" She answered, amidst sobs. "That's the weirdest part of it all, I can't even remember what it was, if I could everything would have been a lot easier, I guess." "How did we get in here?" "I would explain that later Mom, please just put yourself together. This is not the end of the world. Now here's what we are going to do. I think I've figured this out. The game wants you to cry, so don't. Laugh instead. That would create an imbalance and thus we can escape. Are your hands tied?" "Yes they are." "With a rope? Or?" "I don't know what they call the material with
"Wow! Incredible!" "You deserve it. Your courage amazes me, even as a Lightan. Kudos." Wesley walked through the bridge with Lily behind him. They walked for a long distance, the bridge was getting despairingly long. Now they understand why it was named the Bridge of Despair. Wesley was getting weak. "Wesley! Come on, don't do that! Let's keep going. Don't despair! That's what the bridge wants, for you to despair." "The ember! It can boost my strength, I'm sure." Wesley highlighted as he reached into his bag pack for the ember, it wasn't there. He searched frantically for the ember, it was gone. And Lily was gone too. "No way!" "Yes way! You're our prey now. There's no going back. You're ours to feast on. We didn't kill you. Just something you should know in advance before you die." "Die? Do you really know me?" "We don't, we don't care to. We just want to party!" A host of weird looking creatures creeped out in their numbers from under the bridge. They crept out from all direct
