Wesley and Lily were confused when Beck said he was looking for hope, when he knew that there was no way they would know what it was that they were meant to do. “You need to know what your decision is from here on. I know you all are thinking of what you would do to make sure that Shadow doesn't have the upper hand but there is no telling if it will be something that you have to worry about.” Lessia was looking at the trio, there was no way they would be able to even think after all they had learnt that moment. Wesley didn't know what he would do to make sure that there was nothing that would even make it his problem but he knew that there was no telling what power he had. He wanted to make sure that he was not going to make a mistake, he was going to look for a way and see to it that he was going to stop Shadow. “You know, I came here as a normal player trying to test a game but if I had the idea that I would be facing someone that would mean the end of this world. So I don't kno
Jester headed back to Shadow’s lair, he had gotten the information he needed about Wesley. He knew that it was only a matter of time before the boy turned into an invincible warrior who would be able to do things that no other person could do.“I still have a hard time thinking about the fact that the boy I saw would be the reason why our rule will be challenged. He doesn’t look like anything that could threaten us but his power is still yet to grow and I don't know how far he will be willing to push his strength.”Jester wanted to know what he was going to be doing to make sure that he didn’t lose anything in the process of thinking of a way to defeat the threat that was going to be the end of them.He was not a fan of myths that would always end up coming through, he reached the lair and in his hands, he had what seemed to be an elixir. He was not just an errand boy but he was one of the most dangerous warriors Shadow had in his army. “You are back early,” A voice rang calmly from
Jester knew that there was nothing in the world that would make Shadow notice him. But all these years he tried to hide the fact that it was Krigg that had made him the feared being he was known as. Krigg was the one who found him and made sure that he took him in and moulded him into a warrior that could strike fear into the hearts of men. ‘All these years I kept running from the truth and there is no avoiding it now. He is the one that would always find a way for me to be better at what i am trying to do.’ Jester knew that even if he was to pull down the heavens for Shadow, he would never be more than a footnote. “So what do you suggest Lord Krigg? I don't know why he is a hard man to please.” Krigg was a silent being, he didn't even think of doing anything that would make him feel unsettled with anything he was doing. “Leave it to the powerhouses boy, Shadow is not someone you want to spend your whole life trying to impress. Besides Tempest is finally here after years of proph
Jester was never the type of person that would even think of talking to Shadow without bowing down. He was trying to make sure that he wouldn't lose his life, he knew that there was nothing that would even make the Lord of Darkness spare him. “Tell me Jester, why would you even think of coming up here to give me a fake report? You know that I can see your every move, you had Tempest in front of you and now you lost him.”“Tell me why you would think that it was something that was up to you to decide huh? You think because you have not lost a limb yet that you are something important? You are nothing but utter trash.” Shadow was the only being in the world that could call Jester trash like that and he wouldn't react. Jester even though was seen by the world as Shadows closest was only his foot soldier, a messenger and nothing more than that. “It will not happen again Lord Shadow, I will make sure that the next time I see him I will make sure that he suffers before I bring him to you
Wesley was surprised to see that the druids were waiting for them, it was like they had been waiting for him to show up. “Lessia, why are all these druids looking at me like there is something else they are looking for?” Lessia smiled when she heard Wesley’s words, “You see there is a chance that they see you as a symbol of hope; Someone sent to make sure that we don't get hurt, it is not only that you are quite the attraction.” Wesley was confused when Lessia called him an attraction, it was like he had gotten a purpose in the world where he was scared to walk when he first arrived. ‘This is odd for me, I know there is a chance that I have no way of knowing it, but I need to know what it feels like, I am now a different person here. Back in our world, I would be seen as the loser who needs to be thrown out of the planet, here I am a hero.’ Wesley was smiling as he followed Lessia closely, he was not even going to let anything make him think twice before helping them.“I know that
Wesley knew that there was no way Beck would feel like he was worth something unless someone told him that he was one of the best things that had happened to them. “You are honestly one of the best things that have happened to me. I didn't know if I was going to survive fighting Mashle but you came out of nowhere saving me from that demon and for that I am grateful.” Wesley smiled while he was trying to comfort Beck trying to make sure that nothing was going to make him feel unwanted again. Beck looked at Wesley knowing that he would not have gotten or asked for a better friend, it was like nothing was going to hold them down if they stuck together. “I will do my best to make sure that nothing makes me feel like I am not worth it anymore. Thank you, Tempest.”“Hey, call me Wes, you're practically the only real person I know.” Wesley smiled when he noticed that there was no sign of Beck thinking that he was worthless again. While Wesley and Beck were talking about the problems they
After getting his new buff, Wesley received a secret quest alongside a few other players with the option to teleport to the location using the teleportcrystal even though he hasn't registered the area. He found himself in a desert-like area. 'All of them are around level 180-210' He whispered to himself as he checked their stats. He recognized some of them as famous rankers. "How long until she arrives?" asked a tall man with long black hair, dressed in leather armor and wielding a rugged double-headed warhammer. "Can’t you be patient? You're paying for the services of the highest-level player in the area," retorted a mage known as 'Blast Burn,' her glare intense.Both men locked eyes, the tension thickening the air. Sensing the hostility, a voluptuous black-haired priestess intervened, her voice soothing but firm."Stop it. We didn’t gather here to fight each other. Joe, stop provoking them," she admonished. Both parties were in the same clan alliance, and a fight would be disast
"Tsk," Clara clicked her tongue in disappointment.In front of her stretched a long, dark, and gloomy passageway. The only light came from the glowing moss along the sides, resembling tiny street lamps that provided just enough illumination to navigate.They advanced slowly, the light growing brighter as they moved deeper. Soon, they reached a fork in the road: one path veered left, the other right."Hamster Head, scout ahead," Creselia instructed their Assassin, gesturing towards the left path. They already knew the correct route from their previous failed dungeon runs."Leave it to me," Hamster Head replied, striding into the left path and vanishing as he activated his "Stealth.""I thought you guys would already know what to expect inside," Clara remarked, puzzled by the need to scout when they'd been here before and even reached the dungeon boss."The map and traps don't change, but the number of monsters does. If we’re not careful, we could get into serious trouble or even suffer
"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
