"Hmmp!" Baji snorted and walked ahead. "Please excuse him, he's always like that," John Thomas apologized to Wesley with a smile."No problem," Wesley replied, unfazed by Baji's behavior. If Baji caused trouble later, Wesley was prepared to deal with him accordingly."Arrogant jerk," Figg muttered"Stop!" "Wesley yelled, However the latter wouldn't listen as dozens of arrows shot out from both sides of the tunnel, turning Baji into a human poccupine. "I warned you not to go there!" Wesley shouted, feeling the urge to charge at him and end him right there.’Damn this idiot! Can't he read? There were signs clearly saying it's not the right way! What kind of reverse psychology nonsense did he fall for? Only a fool like him would believe there's treasure at the end of that tunnel!’Wesley wanted to curse him out for his stupidity, but held back. He remembered falling for similar tricks before, thinking there was treasure ahead, only to find a dead end swarming with hobgoblin monsters.
Before parting ways, Wesley gave Dylan the Mage items he had collected so far, then added the two girls and John Thomas to his friends list. The girls and the rest wanted Wesley to stay with them, but he preferred going solo. Dylan, knowing how stubborn Wesley could be, didn’t try to persuade him further.Wesley went to a nearby stable and bought a horse. He clumsily rode out of the village, struggling to stay balanced."Damn, I didn’t know riding a horse was this hard," Wesley cursed, nearly slipping off the side.While Wesley might have been the best Fighter out there, he had no idea how to ride a horse. After all, why bother with horses when you could just ride a bike?After all, riding a horse might even give you away to your enemies.Notice: You have acquired the riding skill. Thankfully, the message window that he had been waiting for quite a while finally appeared the moment he reached the main road.Wesley immediately checked the skill from his Skill Window."Nice" Wesley sai
"Get out of my sight." Wesley glared at them and said with a voice full of iciness. Then he walked off from there and planned to head deeper inside the Ogre Territory, ignoring the disbelief faces of the six players. "Kill him!" Their leader yelled angrily, snapping the others into action. An arrow and a fireball flew toward Wesley as he stood with his back turned. Wesley dodged to the side just in time, taking cover behind a tree. The arrow hit a tree trunk, and the fireball exploded on impact with the ground. "Damn these jerks!" Wesley cursed, thoroughly annoyed at having his peace disturbed. The Berserker charged at Wesley while the Fighter went stealth and vanished. The other three stayed back together at a distance. "Die!" Savage Beast roared, swinging his axe towards Wesley's hiding spot as he closed in. But Wesley had already moved, appearing a few meters behind the Berserker and now charging towards where the Mage, Sage, and Predator stood. The three didn’t panic. T
"Kill them all! Sages, focus on healing the Tanks! Fighters, give them a hand!""Predator, take care of the ones that gets passed our tanks!"The Ogre horde of over two hundred finally clashed with the members of Daemon Clan, as shouts and the sound of metal colliding against each other reverberated around their surroundings.Wesley loaded his hidden crossbow, as he wanted to kill steal some monsters from the members of Daemon Clan that’s fighting the Ogre Horde.Wesley was just about to kill steal from a player when his eyes suddenly turned sharp, he immediately jumped backwards from the cl.u.s.ter of tree branch from where he’s at hiding at, Wesley spun in mid air as he landed on the ground.Kaboom!The tree that Wesley had hid from was cleaved into two by the Ogre Boss, but the boss wasn’t done yet, as it turned its head around towards Wesley’s direction and charged towards him while roaring in anger.But instead of facing the Boss head on, Wesley immediately turned around and trie
Wesley is currently in a place called Grim Tale Forest, a huge land made up of all kinds of trees, vegetation and mountainous regions, with a landmass as huge as or more than ten states of USA combined together.It is a massive forest that divides the continent of Aztrath into two sections, where native residents would refer the lands as the eastern or western continents.In this forest, resides many dangerous monsters, and that even the natives are afraid to venture forth inside unless they have an army, and only crazy people would venture inside this place.And Wesley, is one of those crazy people to date!After all, this place is teeming with monsters of different levels, with Level 250 being the weakest monster, and some monsters even have unknown information where Wesley could only see question marks floating above their heads.Wesley closed the Leaderboards and looked around him."I didn’t know that there’s actually a huge forest that divides the continent in two" Wesley mumbled
In a remote corner of Aztrath Continent, an old man with sharp eyes, short black hair and a stocky build is currently fishing in front of a wide lake in the middle of a huge mountain all by himself, with the gargantuan monsters around him, just literally ignoring his existence like he wasn’t even there to begin with."Sir, an error has occured while patching Code:0er8w6gh6723"A beautiful woman suddenly appeared beside him.She has long red black hair that reaches her waist, her appearance is so beautiful that it can’t be described with just mere words, that her appearance is almost a crime!"What!?"The man was suddenly startled, that he looked at her wide eyed."How..how the hell did that happen?""An unexpected situation suddenly happened, and now Subject 3077 is now in possession of Item 01"The man then just sighed in helplessness, "Does that mean the game’s balance is now destroyed?""No sir, the item would have been taken by a player sooner or later, and the event were just put
"Breaking News!""We just received a report that Valhallah. Co Industries has released a new equipment for their virtual game called Game Capsule!""Now, people could play the game comfortably as they lie down on their capsules! It also has a security function that would protect the person inside in case something bad happens like fire breaking out, home invasion, robbery etc.""The game capsule allows the players to play the game more smoothly than before, and has ninety seven percent realism than the VR Headset that only has ninety percent.""And because of this, the company had decided that the monthly payments for the VR Headset would be reduced to only $150, while players could now purchase the game capsule for $10,000!"Wesley was watching and was shocked about the sudden news, and he even thought to himself.’The heck? It wasn’t even a month since they released the VR Headset and now they’re selling us another equipment and it’s even a game capsule!?’But even with that, Wesley
Wesley appeared inside a lush forest, he was surrounded by trees and flora around him, but that peaceful scenery was immediately destroyed when an explosion and shouting occurred a distance from him. Wesley look towards where the screaming and explosion came from and frowned, before he slowly made his way over there. During the past few days, Wesley finally reach Level 240, being the second highest leveled player even though he didn’t register himself in the Leaderboards, while the one in the lead is beating him by a level which really annoys him as he can’t seem to catch up to her at all. It’s like the player is always a step ahead of him, but it also motivates him, because having a competition wouldn’t be boring at all, and at the same time, there are also those experts from the major Clans just racing behind him by a level. Then Wesley stopped taking his time walking and made a dash towards the where the sounds of battle are coming from. Meanwhile. "Sages! Make sure our tanks
"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
