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
"This is the closest any player or group has gotten to Shadow," Creselia remarked. Clara was working on her arrows. She would dip the tips inside a purplish liquid. "What are you doing?" Creselia asked"Putting poison on them. This will make my attacks to deal more damage and inflict a poison status." "It’s good for killing a fleeing prey." She smiled. A moment later, the group traveled all the way to the end of the passage. "Tank, get to the front!" Creselia ordered. Joe leapt forward carrying his warhammer ready. "You got it!" Clara readied her bow and arrows while Sentry created a spell circle around herself and chanted as her staff glowed. Hamster Head slipped into the shadows, moving silently."Stay close, we don’t know what’s waiting for us in here."The group trekked further into the cavern. Finally, they reached a large, open area within the cavern. The walls in the new area they reached had ancient carvings and symbols. What awaited them was a giant door. "This must
