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
"Careful! That’s its 'Howl of the Chieftain'! Reinforcements are coming! Brace yourselves!" Creselia warned, her voice cutting through the noise of the battle.As she spoke, a magic circle materialized behind the Hobgoblin Chieftain. Six Hobgoblin Raiders emerged from it, immediately charging towards Hamster Head and Joe."Good! There are only six this time!" Sentry shouted with relief. In their previous dungeon run, the boss had summoned ten minions, including three Mages and seven Raiders, which had overwhelmed them completely, leading to a swift defeat."Tempest, I—" Creselia began, turning to Clara to instruct her on handling the minions. However, before she could finish, an arrow zipped past her and struck a Hobgoblin about to ambush Joe."You guys take care of its minions! I’ll crowd control the boss!" Clara commanded, sprinting forward while maintaining her barrage of arrows on the Chieftain. Joe planted his feet firmly, raising his warhammer to meet the oncoming Raiders. His
Meanwhile, in the vicinity of Haverah City.A lone player is currently engaged in a tough battle with a huge green skinned monster, who’s armed with a coarse shield buckler and a bronze saber."Dylan Calling..."While Wesley is fighting, a sudden interruption suddenly appeared from the corner of his eye, and it almost caused him to get struck by the "Shield Bash" of the boss in front of him."Damn...why is this dude calling me now of all times!?" Wesley cursed, as he immediately rolled to the side as he dodged a downward slash from the monster he’s battling with, and the attack struck the ground where he was standing at earlier."Accept!" Wesley yelled as he circled around and jumped at the back of the monster and stabbed the side of its neck.Gahh!The green skinned monster roared angrily, as it let go of its shield, and slapped towards Wesley who is hanging on its back, using its left hand.But the monster only struck nothing but air, because Wesley had already jumped away from its
This event marked the first legend of the player called, Tempest, as every player, from ordinary players to the elites paid attention and made sure to engraved the player called Tempest in their minds!After all, soloing a Field Boss is a huge feat, and the thought that he used a bug on the game didn’t even surfaced in their minds, as there was an announcement about the game company before that they had made sure to fix all of the loopholes inside the game with the help of its powerful Artificial intelligence that oversee the entire game world like its own goddess or god!Wesley was suddenly surprised as the system announced it without his permission."The heck I wanted to keep a low profile" Wesley smiled bitterly."Good thing, this place is in the deepest part of the forest or else there would be a horde of players heading towards here.""Oh my goodness! Was that you!?" Dylan’s voice suddenly boomed from the side.’Right, there’s still this guy’ Wesley thought as he rolled his eyes,
"Now then," Wesley mumbled as he opened the "Server Auction." He saw rows upon rows of items, with new ones added every ten seconds. "They're mostly just common grade items. Some people are even shameless enough to sell items that anyone could buy from NPCs," Wesley muttered, noticing the varied items from different cities, towns, and villages.He continued browsing, but nothing caught his eye. Switching to another tab, he listed his "Chimera Crossbow " with a starting bid of 15,00000 Gold Gold and a buyout price of 50,00000 Gold Gold. He dared to set such a high price because he hadn't seen any rare items on the "Server Auction" earlier."Okay...done," Wesley said. But just as he was about to press the "Sell" button, his hand paused mid-air."Damn...I forgot I could actually sell it to someone," Wesley said, canceling the listing and opening his friend list. He clicked on Wild Thunder’s name, remembering his promise to offer valuable items to him first. He sent the information about
Everyone present had their jaws dropped. "How did he vanish like that? Did he use 'Stealth' and slip away?""You can’t use skills inside the city, idiot!"Wesley took advantage of the distraction caused by Crescent Star and the others to quietly leave unnoticed."Hey! How did you escape that crowd? Never mind that—why did you leave? Aren’t you interested in joining one of the powerful Clans?" Wild Thunder called out."Not right now. Maybe later," Wesley replied, declining further calls."What an annoyance," Crescent moon sighed.The Solemn Takers' representative scoffed coldly and departed with his team. Scale God also left, relieved that Wesley showed no interest in joining any Clan.The other players went their separate ways. "Joining a Clan has its perks, but I won’t take orders from someone less skilled and weaker than me." He chose a quieter path to avoid drawing attention until he could find a way to conceal his identity."My time is running short... I need to move quickly,"
"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
