《Your Fantasy》 Chapter 1. A New Beginning Its the year 2062 March 23rd on this day the new highly anticipated VRMMORPG "Your Fantasy" comes out! ~ring~ ~ring~ ~ring~ "Ugghh!" ~ring~ ~ring~ My Watch lights up and vibrates on my desk. I reach for it to slap it but misses it and hit my cup of water instead. it spill all over my face "WHOA!" i jump up from the wet wake up call and shake my head looking around my room that looks like a tornado of clothes, bottles of water and old take-out boxes just came through here I sigh. knowing that my parents will be home this weekend "my mom is totally going to kill me if she sees this room." i say as another ~ring~ let out i look over towards my watch to see a familiar name on it Quentin. "He better have a good reason for calling me this early!" I click the button on the watch to answer " YO! this better be good." I say in my morning voice. "YoyoyoyoyoyoyoYOOOOoo! did you forget what today is Bruh!?" Quentin says with excitement in his voice as i thought for a second " OHHH! SHIT Today is the day !!!" I say excited as well "that''s right yo!" Quentin says agreeing with me. "is the rest of the crew on???" I asked. "well so far only Me, Legend, GB, Gear, Katsumi, and Yoshi just walked up with his Edge lord ass" Quentin says with a light chuckle. "okay cool i will be on in the Hub once i get my room cleaned and get a hot shower!" I say excitedly "okay buttercup! don''t make us wait too long." as the call disconnected I smile and chuckle a little from the last comment Quentin said towards me. Getting up from my bed I started cleaning a few moments later as I walk back into my room with only a towel around my waist I stop to look at my room "wow looks way better than a few moments ago! mom shouldn''t go crazy on me now I guess i''ll read the manual and reviews on the new game that drops today I still got an hour left before it launches." 30 mins past in a blink of an eye.... I was lost in the reviews and certain strategies on how to tackle the game from beta testers. I finished my last bottle of water and started stretching. I approach my VR Pod. That is all white with red stripes that says "No Limit" with bold black letters on top of the pod I smile excitedly. "This is it! time to visit Humanity''s second world." I stepped into the pod sitting in it I put on my helmet. "Game Start!" I yell out as white blinding light flash before my eyes. My avatar came to life with black long hooded trench coat that only shows my red glowing eyes under it with all black combat pants, boots, and vest on with a highlighted name saying "Zero" On top of my head in a central gathering place for players called "The Hub". I looked around seeing a lot of players socializing with each other. i spotted a few familiar figures in the distance by a couch with a table in front of it and two palm trees around it as I walk towards these people. "Yo!" I spoke to my friends that were chilling and chatting about. "Yoyoyoyoyoyoyooyoyo!" Tall skinny dark skin guy With black colored dreadlocks with a faded cut, bright orange pupils with an orange and black hoody that has kanji written on the back of it with black jeans and black slippers on says with a big smile. " Quentin dude! I made it on time thank God" I said with a sigh of relief. "Yeah, right at the nick of time pal." A white skinned tone, tall average looking guy, with one eye patch on his face with a Mohawk and striped facial hair like a tiger, with a turquoise-colored leather jacket that says "No limit" on the back with White cargo pants and white boots. "Yo! gamebreaker looks like you actually made it for the launch as well." I say looking towards big red and golden dragon about the size of a house walking towards me. Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site. "Tony! I can''t believe I actually beat you here." I say looking up at the Red dragon with a smirk. "Whatever Dog...Pops cooked some really tasty ass chicken had to eat it before I got on or i would''ve regretted it later today as we are playing all night don''t want to ruin such good chicken, Y¨­." Tony says looking around the area spotting someone familiar walking towards them with a smirk. " Yooo fist! you trying to catch these Hands again in Smash bros!?"Tony yells out as everyone around them hold there virtual ears. "This guy...Y¨­ zero! don''t believe nothing this man says." Fist says while also walking up to the group chuckles with a smile his avatar had a brown skinned tone like built a body builder, large Afro hair style, With black shades and a ripped sleeveless karate Gi on. I looked at the both of them and shake my head. "I''m guessing Ryu beat you again and choose a spammer like Duck hunt or Ness to win?" "Exactly! what happened bro, you already know. if it was a legit fight i would''ve whooped his as-" Fist tried to finish speaking but was cut off by another yell from Ryu. "NAH DOG! don''t lie ...lie again Bruh ya know I beat that ass this morning." Ryu says as zero and Quentin laugh at two arguing back and forth. "Ryu! you going to turn down your voice or keep yelling like an angry woman." one of the three people on the couch says towards Ryu he looks at him annoyed. the guy had glass on his face with a buzz cut with light skinned tone wearing a casual outfit leaning back on the couch with his foot on the table in front of the couch. "Y¨­ Legend buddy are you ready for this!" I say towards him with an excited Look. "You already know Bruh! I been up the whole 24 hours I just couldn''t sleep man! that''s just how ready I am." Legend says as his avatar actually looks tired so it''s not hard to tell he wasn''t lying about that. I looked at the other two be side him. Katsumi was the brown hair chick with a red kimono on with tan skin and a curvy body. the other was Yoshi his lowered face was covered with a skull logo face mask with white color hair, solid dark eyes, with an all back hoody and black cargo pants. "how about you two Yoshi and Katsumi. you guys excited as well?" I say standing in front of them. Katsumi spoke first. " Duh dummy. who wouldn''t be excited for the biggest game that is about to come out in the last 3 decades." she fold her arms and lean back in the couch as well " Yeah, Zero I''m pretty excited as well. wish the countdown would go faster." Yoshi says with a bored sounding voice. "What was that scurba dub ba dub!" Quentin says intimidating Yoshi''s voice he looks at Quentin with annoyance and start yelling at him in the background. "are we all still picking the same continent to start off on?" a cat like furry humanoid avatar says on the other side of the couch. "that''s right Gear. We all decided to start in western continent since it has a lot more lands than the others two starting continents." I say looking at him seeing how his avatar is deck out in camo military gear. Gear nods at zero''s comment. "I''m hearing that there is a tutorial area before we actually are able to choose our starting zone." Legend says leaning up from the couch. "Yeah, I heard about that to. supposedly the A.I. of the game is going to evaluate all the players in a tutorial once they create their character and choose a play style." Ryu says while he does a little jig. The rest of the group looks at him with a blank face. "This guy Ryu man... anyway what are the playstyles for the game guys?" Fist asked while shaking his head at a Ryu who keeps jigging in the background along with Quentin who is trying to beatbox and do breakdances at the same time. "There are two playstyles'' players can pick from. one is the typical Rpg style, spawning randomly somewhere in the starting zone you choose, killing enemies, going into dungeons, adventuring doing quest to make your character stronger, and doing raids with your guild mates. Etc.etc." "The second option is lifestyle with this play style. players will spawn into a random node in the starting zone they pick. allowing them to pick a certain crafting or gathering class of their liking. these players don''t experience any combat unless the node is attacked by monsters, bandits or PK''ers that''s trying to conquer that node for themselves. but basically, picking that playstyle is like actually having an RL job that''s in a VRMMORPG game." Zero says with an excited smile. "so how does the PvP work do we just run up and just start any fights or..?" Fist asked with a curious look "supposedly there are multiple ways to PvP. if you are in a certain node with laws. the guard will usually stop you from fighting in the city or village. But outside of the node it''s free reign to any and all PvP actions. there are Battlegrounds players can do if they just want to PvP only." Zero says while looking at the count down showing 5 mins are remaining till the game launches. "Okay guys gather around." Zero says while looking at the group of his friends as they all closed in around the table in front of the couch in a circle. Zero pop up a map of the world inside of "Your Fantasy" called Euphoria it shows the planet looks just like earth but with only three continents two big mass of lands on each side of a medium size mass of land as the rest of the continents on the planet are blacked out. there are small islands in between each continent. Zero point to the Eastern Continent as it zooms in on the continent showing different kingdoms with tyrant rulers, villages with slaves by bandits, large towers that are prisons, battlefields of massacre women and children, Mountains with volcanoes and cultist of evil deities, deep Forrest with giant trees with vicious monster both large and small, desolated lands with roaming giants, and war-torn kingdoms. Zero look at all his friends faces knowing that they wouldn''t too much like this continent. than he zooms out and zoomed in The Central Continent. Showing Kingdoms with large ports, islands where pirates are fighting for hidden treasure, Ancient Ruins where the undead reign, Bustling kingdoms full of merchants and traders going from land and sea, At the middle of the Continent stands a large castle that you could see for miles with a tower as high as the heavens itself. Zero look at his friends again and saw a few excited gleams in their eyes. He zoomed out again for the last time and zoomed in on the Western Continent. Showing An Asia like mountains with endless sea of open grass lands, A forest with all kinds magical and majestic looking creatures and spirits, desert with A bustling kingdom full of merchants and traders going from land and sea, A Valley with sky high mountains full of snow with villages all around each mountain, kingdoms with farmlands all around them with medium and small villages. Zero closed the map of Euphoria he look around at each of his friends. "Now I understand why we didn''t choose the Eastern Continent. That zone looks like a nightmare to level up in and have fun." Fist said with his eyes close shaking his head as everyone around the table nodded at his comment agreeing with him. "Exactly. It would be good for guilds that are hardcore PvP focused. for casual players like us the Central and Western continent is like heaven. "Gamebreaker says with a serious look on his face. "But the fact that this game only has one sever is even crazier " Legend says while he stands up stretching his avatar and yawning. " Man dog. I just can''t wait to ride my first dragon I''m going to go crazy boy!!!" Ryu says with excitement doing a little jig. everyone looks at him and says one word "TYPICAL!!!" one minute left on the countdown as Zero look at hub''s clock. "Remember guys Western Continent. take your time creating your character its going to be looking like that for a while. try your best to get to a Node and contact through our group discord. for we can group up together on the closes nodes after the tutorial zone." Zero says without hesitation as everyone around the circle nodded. 30 seconds left on the countdown. "Good luck guys, last one to finish tutorial is an ass eater." Legend says with a laugh following by chuckles from the others as well. 5 seconds.... 4 seconds... 3 seconds.. 2 seconds..... 1 second.... A Large notification came through on everyone screen Do you Wish to launch [Your Fantasy] Now? [Yes] or [No] Players around the hub starting to vanish into digital blue pixel dust. I happily smiled and clicked [Yes]. Welcome to The World of [Euphoria] Traveler. Chapter 2. Reaction & Agility Test [choose a starting race for your character] [Elves] [Humans] [Demi-Humans] [Dwarfs] [Orcs] [Oni] [Beastkin] [Gnomes] [Goblin] [Trolls] [undead] [Vampires] [giants] [Centaur] [Seafolk] [Draconian] [Fae]..... Zero scans through the race list. just like the reviews he read online. there are really more than 100 different races to choose from. lucky for him he''s been strategizing for weeks now what race he was going for. Zero picked the [Elves] Race and under [Elves] shows the different versions of the race from [High Elves] - [Dark Elves] Zero choose the [Dark Elves] which Racial abilities comes with : A passive ability that allows the user to see at night or dark places. : This Racial skill can increase the user Dexterity and agility stat by 50% for 30 seconds when activated. 5-minute cooldown. : The Elves Goddess of Darkness has blessed the dark elves with 5% increase to dark elemental attacks and resistance. Next was designing the look of zero character. he made him short like me 5''5 with a Handsome looking face, athletic body which has a kick ass six pack, Black tone skin like pure darkness itself, red colored anime looking intense eyes. and pure white long ponytail hair. Zero stared at his character for a good few second... " Now that''s a bad ass right there. yes sirrr!" Zero says with a chuckle as he clicks on next for the next step. [please input the created character name] The system say Showing a box with a first Name and a optional Last name if you want. " Duh [Zero]" he types in the name on the box and confirmed it. [Player Zero confirmed please select a Play style] The system says and shows [Classic] or [Lifestyle]. Zero instantly choose [Classic] [ Congratulations on creating your character!] the system says with a cheerful sound of music. [ Teleporting Player to The Tutorial Zone!] As the world around Zero flashed in a bright white light. Seeing the HUD in his vision with Two bars on the left corner of his vision along with my name [Lvl.0 Zero] on the right side of his vision Zero see a Mini map in a circle HUD showing a white arrow in the middle of that map. ("that must be me in the middle of the map".) Zero thinks to himself getting his baring staring at his pitch-black hands and feet. He looked at himself seeing that he was wearing all-white tunic and light brown slacks. [Greetings traveler. Looks like you finally arrived here in the world of Euphoria]. the voice startle Zero a little as he jumps back a few feet seeing a glowing white wisp with fairy wings. floating right next to where he was just standing. [Don''t Worry I am not here to Harm you. instead, I will be your Guide and evaluator in this tutorial zone. feel free to ask me any questions you may have at this moment.] The floating wisp like fairy says with a voice like the system itself but a little more childish. "Um okay cool...so what do I call you?" Zero ask with a curious look. [ you may address me as Guide for now.] The Guide says floating around Zero''s body "Okay Guide so what do I do now?" Zero looks around lost in the tutorial zone that feels like a tunnel in a cave. [Now you must move forward. to make your way out of this tunnel.] Hearing what the Guide said Zero nodded and made his way through the tunnel. After A few moments of walking Zero comes to the exit of the tunnel as it leads him out into some sort of Empty Arena. The Guide flew towards racks & tables of multiple weapons and armor circling around it a few times than heading towards Zero and stopping a few feet away from his face. [ Traveler choose any weapon and armor.] Zero looked towards the racks & tables and saw different types of weapons from two handed great swords to daggers, spears and axes. for the armor. He saw a mixture of Cloth, chain, leather, and plate. looking at how detailed the armor and weapons where He was amazed. Zero tried out everything on the racks to see what was more for him. than He realize and thought. ("it looks like I can wear all the armor here without any restrictions on my character''s physique. maybe I could mix up certain armor pieces.") Zero thought to himself as he smiled with a wide grin than wasted an hour just putting on the armor he wanted. Zero attire was A brown and black colored cloth hood that covered my mouth and nose, dark brown colored Leather chest piece, rusted Iron armored gauntlets, black cloth pants, and Dark brown colored Leather boots. He checked himself out nodding in approval of his gear as he looked towards the weapon racks picking out two daggers and A bow with A quiver of wooden arrows in it. A flood of notifications pops up in his Vision. [ You have Equipped Brown Cloth Hood] [You have Equipped Leather Chest piece] This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. [You have Equipped 2x Rusted iron Gauntlets] [You have Equipped Black Cloth pants] [You have Equipped Leather boots] [2x rusted Iron daggers equipped] [old Wooden Bow Equipped] [You have equipped A Quiver with 30x wooden Arrows] [You have unlocked the Adventurer Class] [You have obtained The skill for Your character Dagger Mastery] [You Have obtained The Skill for your character Bow Mastery] [You have obtained The skill for your character Dual Wield Mastery] [You have obtained The skill for your character Light Armor Mastery] [You have obtained The skill for your character Leather Armor Mastery] [You have obtained The skill for your character Heavy Armor Mastery] "Nice!" Zero exclaimed in joy as all three weapon mastery skills gave him 3 new active skills each with the help of the adventurer class that gave one nice looking passive skill. "Wait What!?" Zero shows a shocked look on his face as he kept reading the skill. ("this skill is insanely op wonder if this is a bug or something.") Zero look towards the Guide. "Hey Guide! is this skill supposed to be like this?" Zero says pointing at his screen where the description of fast learner is showing. [ Yes, all adventures start off with this skill.] The Guide says while floating in front of zero. ("Hmmmm.. interesting I wonder why none of the reviews or beta testers online mentioned this. tsk! greedy bastards probably wanted to hide it for themselves...but maybe they haven''t realized it as well possibly mistaken it for a EXP boost. Because everyone knows tutorials in most RPG''s usually be the "typical" boring do this and that and everybody always speed through them without checking for important clues like this skill description for example. if those that was patient enough like me and took their time they would benefit off this boon of a skill. but maybe that could work but I will have come back to that later.") Zero thought to himself about something. "These weapons should do fine. I''m all ready for what''s next." Zero says towards "Okay guide what''s next? am I to fight something?" Zero looks around the arena seeing that it is still empty. [Now we shall start Your reaction and agility test.] An obstacle course spawn in front zero full of moving objects and platforms. [You may begin when you are ready.] The Guide says while zipping around the course. "Oh boy! Now this looks fun." Zero say while looking at the course with a smirk and started stretching. He dashed for the course as he jumped from platform to platform with ease as the first moving object that look like a pillar of spikes tries to close line him sliding under it with ease. getting back on my feet still moving doing a flip over the next moving object. landing on his feet with a roll than dashing for the next platform jumping. A few projectiles launch from a wall heading straight for him in the air. Make my whole-body spin in the air dodging the projectiles. landing on the next platform with a roll. Zero made another dash seeing a balance beam connected to the next platform. started walking on the beams at a pretty fast pace while balancing myself well like an acrobatic. hearing a loud whistle going past his ears. A Spear was thrown at him missing by a few inches. Looking to see where it was coming from. On both sides of Zero are three training Dummies on the platforms. With spears in their hands throwing them at him. "Shit!" Zero say as he speeds up his pace on the balance beam. Zero closed his eyes and start focusing on the surroundings around him while walking at a steady pace on the beam preparing his Daggers. right when a spear is about to hit Zero, he slashes at it breaking it apart along with doing a whirl on the balance beam and dodging the next one as he kept going with the same motions getting to the next platform in only a few moments. Zero see a stand with a red button on it in the middle of the platform putting his hand on it the course ended. A bunch of Notifications pops up in his vision. [Congratulations Player Zero. You Have completed The Reaction & Agility course.] [Your Completion Time was 2 minutes and 15 seconds!] [Congratulations you Have broken A New world record for time!] [You Have Earn the Title if equipped or not equipped grants the Player plus 35% into agility.] [You Have Learned The unique passive skill for your character Sixth Sense.] [You Have Learn The Passive Skill for your Character Acrobatics.] Zero stared at all the notifications with an open mouth of shock as he closed it back shut after shaking my head. "Well, I am pretty good huh?" Zero says laughing to himself he notices the guide was floating in front of him froze like it was lagging or something weird. "Um Guide. You Okay there?" Zero say staring at the wisp like fairy creature who started back moving around in motion like something pressed play on it. [Yes, I am fine. Congratulations on Breaking the record on this course Player Zero.] The guide says sounding like an emotionless 5-year-old. "Um. Thanks." Zero smiled awkwardly at it. " So, what''s next Guide?" Zero say looking excited for the next course. [ Do you Wish to continue or restart this course again?] The guide says while floating around me. "Wait we can restart courses??" Zero say with a shocked look. [ That is correct rather you pass or fail the course. it does not affect you going forward to the next one.] "Wow...that changes everything than" Zero say with a smirk holding off on continuing Zero checked his stats and skills for his character. [Name: Zero] [Health: 100/100] [Stamina: 100/100] [Character Level: 0 EXP: 0/50] [Karma: Neutral] [Fame: 0] [Race: Dark Elf ] [Class: Lvl 0. Adventure EXP: 0/100 ] [Attributes: (Strength: 5) (Constitution: 5) (Intelligence: 10) (Wisdom: 15) (Dexterity: 10) (Agility: 17) (Endurance: 5) (Luck: 5) (Charisma: 5) [Elemental Affinity: (Fire: 5%) (Water: 5%) (Earth: 5%) (Lightning: 5%) (Nature: 5%) (Air: 5%) (Light: 5%) (Dark: 15%) [Titles: ] [Class Skills: : A passive skill exclusive to the adventurer class. That allows the player to have 100% faster proficiency at learning Any skill. this skill grows with every level gained for the class.) [Character Skills: , , , , , , , , , , , , , :A passive skill for the dagger that activates every Time you attack while moving. increases Dexterity and agility by 5> , , : A passive skill for dual wielding That triggers. after every kill your strength increases by 5%.> After Looking at his stats and skills he noticed his agility, and wisdom attributes Is a lot higher than the rest of his attributes. Zero guess because of the and skills. ("if just running that course for the first time gave me that much of a boost in agility and wisdom wonder how much or what skills and stats would go up for running the course multiple times.") Zero thought to himself. Zero than grinned at the guide. " Yo guide! is there a time limit here for the tutorial zone?" Zero asked the guide who was just floating there. [No. there is no time limit, to ensure all players can continue at their own pace.] with this confirms Zero''s ideas as he rubs his hands together and laugh. " Time to Grind baby!" Zero yells out with excitement. Three hours passed by and he finally got the notifications he been looking forward to. After running the course over 100 times His Agility and Wisdom attributes are now higher than 40. Haven''t gotten any new skills and Zero wasn''t too worried about beating His record again. ("no matter if I broke the record a hundred times, I never gotten any new awards from doing it again than the first time. but I''m grateful for what I got so far.") Zero thought to himself. Zero leveled a few skills up from 0 to 5 [Acrobatics have Reach Level 5] [Sixth Sense Have Reach Level 5] [Swift Movements have reach Level 5] ("I manage to use my Racial skill to complete the course and breaking the record multiple times each less than 1 minute than the previous it was funny watching The guide freeze up longer and longer every time I broke the record.") Zero chuckles at his own thoughts. "not even a level one yet and my stats are this good. I think I did as much as I could in this course now time for the next one." Zero says out loud Looking towards the Guide. "I''m ready to continue to the next course." Zero says towards the guide. [Confirming That player Zero is ready to move on?] [ Yes] or [No] The guide asked while staying in the same spot floating since he completed the course the first time. Zero mentally click [Yes]. As the Arena begins to shake the Reaction and agility course slowly starts to crumble back into the ground all except the Training Dummies. One walks up to the middle of the Arena The Guide floats above its head. [Beginning the next Course Live Combat.] [Do you Wish to begin?] [ Yes] or [No] Zero looked at the Dummy and Then Smiled "Oh, it''s Go time baby!" Zero yells out as he cracked his Neck Than pulled out his Daggers getting into a fighting Stance and Mentally clicked. [Yes] Chapter 3. Live Combat Course [The course will start once the player attack the target.] Zero look directly at the Dummy a notification pops up. [Congratulations! You have Unlocked the character skill Analyze] "Nice! that''s going to be very useful." Zero says with excitement looking at the dummy again. this time He could see its level, health, name and also its race. [Name: Training Dummy] [ Level: 1] [ Health: 100/100] [Mana: 0/0] [Stamina: 0/0] [ Race: Golem] Zero looked deep in thought at the Dummy. ("hmmm.... I''m guessing it''s stamina and mana pool is zero because it has no weapon?") Zero shrug Thinking to himself and began to dash towards it. Slashing with his Daggers in a cross. Decapitating the Dummy with one move as it shows his attack doing a critical from attacking a weak spot. showing his normal attack doing over {-150 Critical damage from a weak spot attack} The dummy health instantly zero out staring at the falling dummy. Zero looked confused as it hit the ground with its headless body turning into pixel dust. [You have defeated A Lvl.1 training dummy.] {+100 Exp} "What the hell was that!?" Zero says in a surprise voice looking confused at how he kills it with one attack. Thinking to Himself Zero wonder ("is it because of my Wisdom and agility????.... but only the Dex stat gives off such huge crits, right?") Zero couldn''t understand it. so, he just left it alone as multiple notifications pop up in his vision. as a golden light washed over him, he felt refresh from the energy coursing through him like he just drunk water for first the time in hours. "Hell, yeah level up!" Zero yells out loud. [ Congratulations! Your Character Level is now 1!] [ Congratulations! Your class level is now 1!] [Congratulations! You have Learn a new Unique character skill ] [Congratulations! You have Earned a new title .] Right when zero was about to look at his new notifications the skill activated. immediately turning towards a newly spawn Dummy it was heading straight for Zero with no weapon in its hand. ("damn totally forgot that I''m in a course right now.") Thinking to his self, zero quickly switch to the bow and knocked three arrows and shot two arrows into the dummy legs as it falls over. Zero shot the last arrow directly into the head of the dummy. {-15 crippling damage, -15 Crippling Damage, -200 Critical Damage! from a attack!}. [ You have defeated A Lvl.2 Training Dummy] {+350 EXP} [ Congratulations Your Character Level is now 3!] [ Congratulations Your Class level is Now 2!] another golden glowing light wash over Zero with that refreshing feeling. This time two dummies Enter the fray, and they are a lot faster than the one he just fought as they dash towards zero one using a spear and the other a sword. Zero shot a few arrows at them this time they dodge the arrows showing. {miss!, miss!, miss!} around their bodies which caught him by surprise as they closed the distance. The dummy with the spear thrust his weapon aiming straight for zero''s heart. Zero instantly dodge the attack by whirling to his right. pulling out his Daggers the Dummy with the sword tries to go for his stomach with a slash from its weapon. Zero did a slide on his knees going under the training dummy attack and manage to cut both its heels making the sword dummy legs give out. {-25 crippling damage, -25 Crippling damage} the sword dummy falling to its knees, zero tried to exploit a weak spot on its back with his next attack. sensing another attack from the spear dummy as it swung wide in a arc. Zero bend backwards on time dodging the attack by an inch as it passes by his face, he felt the wind brush pass his nose. Zero body kept moving backwards doing back flips to distance himself from the Dummy as it kept attacking but with him doing all those flips. it couldn''t hit him at all and was about to strike again but stop its movements than looked at Zero. Zero stared back at it than smiled under his mask. ("This is getting a little too heated I can tell that the difficulty of the dummies gotten harder even though we are the same level it''s trying to calculate my movements and counter them...seems like our developers is up to something with this little warm-up.") The guide that was watching the fight playout was paused in the air again as it flickered a little. Meanwhile at the Atlanta, Georgia branch of Project Yggdrasil the creators of "Your Fantasy". The dev team that''s responsible for this region data stream. watches the feed from the guide looking at the evaluation of the player zero. "What kind of human being have such insane reaction and movement speed like that!" one of the team members say while in awe at the skills zero was showing. "He''s the first player to actually beat the record that the AI set for the players." a female team member says as she pushes her glasses studying the data that the guide was sending them. " Very impressive do anybody know this player?" one of the members say as he studies the image zoning in on Zero. " We believe he''s a pro gamer that was with the clan "No Limit". One of the members said as everyone went silent for a few moments. "Who the hell are they!?" one of the members yells out everybody shrug. "Any way...it looks like we got an irregular here folks. make the guide raise the difficulty to the max and let''s see if this irregular can put on a better show for us." The supervisor of this branch says with a smirk as he watches the two dummies attack zero. the two dummies were being played with as Zero was doing inhuman like dodges and accurate strikes to cripple them. To their eyes it was hard to keep up with the fast-paced movements of the fight as though the dev Team was watching an epic fight scene from an anime. "This...this is insane not even the Alpha and beta players could move like this." one of the members say in awe looking at the scene in front of him. "Stop the A.I.!!" The supervisor of the team yells out. as the spear dummy Stop instantly. Zero stared directly at the spear Dummy and smirk at the screen. "Why does it feel like he kno-." one of the female dev team members with the glasses was about to say something in till she was cut off by the supervisor. "He knows. And is aware that we are doing this. Such insight!" the supervisor says with a devilish smile. "Keep the A.I. doing what it''s doing...don''t let it stop testing this player...let us see what kind of results we will end up with maybe world first Legendary Class quest at the end of his evaluation. HQ is going to give us a bonus for that!" The supervisor says with an excited tone in his voice. Rest of team members nodded in unison saying, "Yes Sir!" back with the situation for zero and the training dummies.... "I hope that''s not all you can do Dummy...or this will be pretty boring." Zero says with a smirk taunting the dummy. The dummy twitch a little as it got into a fighting stance. than the Dummy with the sword was able to get up on its feet healing from the attacks just a few moments ago. Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation. "Oh, so this again...guess you guys didn''t learn your lesson last time ganging up on me. but looking at both of you now. I say this party is just getting started!!" Zero yells out staring at them with a serious gaze. Both dummies standing right beside each other getting into their proper fighting stance for their weapon style. zero sense that this is about to get real. "I won''t be as soft on you guys like before." Zero says in a cold like voice as he prepared his Daggers and dash straight for the dummies. Like before they both attack with timed attacks. He dodges their attacks. this time it wasn''t by an inch. but even faster reaction of knowing the attack will come at that right moment. Zero counters back with the same precise accuracy with his daggers if anyone was watching the fight right now. from an outsider view it was like a scene where rapid exchange of attacks like a blur of movement. both him and the dummies disengaged gaining distance from the clash of attacks.

Five training dummies surrounded him on all sides four of them was Lvl.4 as one of the five dummies Walked up a few feet away from him it was bigger than all the ones he seen so far. it was a Lvl.5 Elite with over 200 health. more than the usual 100 HP like the rest of the training dummies he fought. wielding A Sword and shield. It was trying to taunt him by banging against its shield. Zero looked at each of the dummies. Noticing two of the dummies were ranged. One wielding a staff that looked magical. the other a bow but no arrows. "Okay that''s not SUS at all." zero says with confused look staring at the bow dummy. Zero notices that his dual wielding passive is still activated. He smiled under his mask than activated . appearing instantly behind the bow dummy using the passive skill stabbing with both weapons at the Red highlighted spot. making his daggers pierce through its back as the points of the weapons appear out of its chest. Pulling the weapon out while carving through its body with the daggers slicing it apart. {-200 critical damage! using to hit A weak spot.} The other dummies started to move and attack. as the magical staff dummy was charging it''s staff. Zero threw one of his daggers towards its head hitting it dead on. { -135 Critical damage! from a weak spot attack.} the Dummy fell back as the other three dummies was already on him. With the boss dummy leading the charge. Going for A shield attack Zero jumped in front of the attack planting both my feet on the shield. Using the force of the attack to push off the shield launching himself in the air heading towards the Dummy with the dagger in its head. Landing beside it pulling his dagger out of its head. The dummy body turn into digital pixel dust. The next dummy to attack was wielding an axe. Coming down with a chop towards his head. Zero dodge the attack with ease.

"You''re the last one left buddy...time to join your comrades." Zero says with a cold voice towards the boss dummy. he pulled out his bow knocking an arrow. looking towards the running Dummy as it held the shield in front it to block range attacks zero''s vision picked up the Red highlighted spot. he waited and waited...The boss dummy gotten closer and closer till it was a few feet away from him. Going for an attack towards zero the shield that was blocking the dropped for it could strike with its sword. ("Now!") zero says in his thoughts releasing his bow skill The yellow glowing arrow blasted the Boss dummy head into pieces. { Hit A For -300 Critical Damage!} The boss dummy body turn into digital pixel dust.

The guide floated a few feet away from him. [ Congratulations Player Zero on completing The Live Combat Course. Do you Wish to proceed to your last course right now?] [Yes] or [No] zero instantly clicked [no] looking towards the Guide. "I got to check my stats and see what have change before I pass up this opportunity." Zero says out loud while rubbing his chin and pulling up his Stats. [Name: Zero] [Health: 5,000/5,000] [Stamina: 5,000/5,000] [Character Level: 7 EXP: 2,200/8,235] [Karma: Neutral] [Fame: 0] [Race: Dark Elf] [Class: Lvl 5.

After looking at his stats zero couldn''t help but be amazed by how many points he has into Wisdom, Dexterity, and especially Agility. he also saw that he had 21 free attribute points to spend on any off his stats except [Luck] and [Charisma] that was locked. "But there is no rush for that I will place my points towards what my future class needs anyway best to save on them as much as I can for now. Plus, no player my level should have that many points into three stats like that. I''m thinking it''s all because of my Skills like , , and my newly attain passive skill . these three are the reason my character is off the charts in combat." Zero says Looking towards the weapon racks and tables and smiled. "Time to Grind baby!" he says excitedly walking towards the weapons and picking up a one-handed sword, and spear looking at the weapons nodding his head than equipped them on his character. [You have Learn a character skill ] [You have Learn a character skill .] More notifications flash in his vision. as he saw that it was the three basic skills for both weapons, he put it to the side for now. walking towards the Guide as it floated in the middle of the Arena frozen. "Hey Guide! I would like to restart the course again." Zero says towards the Guide that started back moving again after he spoke to it. [Please choose the difficulty you would like to Start the course on.] [Normal] [Hardcore] [Hell] [if you have already beaten the course previously. You will gain no EXP towards your character and class levels when fighting and beating the course again on a different difficulty setting.] "I knew it!" Zero yelled out as he was right about this course having a difficulty setting. "It sucks I couldn''t exploit The EXP till I got bored." zero says with a shrug. "Oh well" zero sighs. Picking The [Hell mode] difficulty as This time there wasn''t five Training dummies standing in front of him. But Ten with Two Boss dummies one with a large war Axe and the other had a Shield and chain mace. "Now this is a party!" Zero says in an excited tone in his voice with A battle maniac stare equipping his title looking at one of the boss dummies. he used the Skill throwing the spear he was holding at The Axe wielding boss dummy Impaling it through the stomach. { Hit A For -150 Critical Damage!} Zero Activated as he blurs out of existence how fast he was moving appearing right in front of the army of dummies with the sword in his hand in swinging motion with his red eyes glowing. two days pass in game... Zero ran the course thousands of times and manage to max out Alot of his skills and even learned some new ones. he got a discord call from Legend as it kind of scared him a little forgetting that he was in a game. Zero answered the call. "Yo!" he says over the call. "Bro Zero...what the hell are you doing?" Legend says with sounding annoyed and irritated. "Huh? what ya mean Bruh! I''m just getting done with the Live Combat course." Zero says sounding confused "Zero...it''s been two days in game and I''m already at character Level twelve." Legend says with a sigh. "Two whole days!? .... well, thank God time works differently here. that means it''s only been possibly 2 hours in RL." zero says feeling a bit of relief he didn''t spend all day doing tutorial. "So, I''m guessing you guys already met up by now since I forgot to set up to where I get messages from other apps in the game settings." zero says with a sigh. "Well only me, Yoshi, and Katsumi got the chance to meet up everybody else was split up, but since we couldn''t get in contact with you. we decided to meet up to the closes node that can bring us all together according to our coordinates it''s a Kingdom called Asuka." Legend says. "Ah okay, so I am the last one to finish...damn oh well. I''m taking full advantage of this tutorial." zero says. "Yeah well....oh yeah Bruh!? about the evaluation all of us but three got A rare class quest." Legend says with excitement. "If I remember correctly from the reviews online. the alpha and beta testers said after tutorial you would get a quest for the class you are most fitted for from the Evaluation that The A.I. calculated. it can range from [Common], [Rare], [Epic], And [Legendary]. but wait you said all you guys got a [rare] class quest except three? who are they?" Zero ask with curiosity. "Well gear got a common.... but it''s not that bad and kind of typical of him to get that class. and Yoshi Got an Epic which is Awesome!!!! & Dude Fucking Ryu got a Fucking LEGENDARY CLASS QUEST!" Legend yells with excitement. Zero jaws dropped in awe after hearing that. "What!? Are you serious bruh??? How???" zero ask with excitement as well. "He said he will fill us in once we meet up in game...but that''s not all he''s the first player in the world to get one...that''s the insane part." Legend says. "First one.... like legit the very first player to receive a Legendary quest... Wow you go tony!" Zero says with pride. "Bro it announced to world when he left the tutorial zone...so many guilds and clans are looking for him to recruit it''s ridiculous man." Legend says with a sigh "I bet bro. but I''m almost done with the tutorial. I won''t hold you guys up any longer give me a few hours in game and hopefully I will spawn close to Asuka once I''m out of here." zero say with determination. "Okay brother! and oh Yeah, I almost forgot be careful after tutorial. there has been PK''ers all around the spawning location of different tutorial exit spots some of us already ran into a few barely manage to get away." Legend says with a serious tone in his voice. "Figured this would happen...but I will be fine. thanks for the heads up meet you guys in a few hours, peace." Zero says disconnecting the call with legend. "Since my friends are waiting for me I better hurry and get this tutorial done and over with and plus I did all I could with this course. seeing my stats again My Dexterity, AGILITY, Wisdom, Strength, and Endurance were way over 50 points. after all the battles for the past two days in game with the training dummies my strength and endurance was going up by 1 point after every other battle till it stopped giving me the points from fighting the dummies I notice that a little while before I maxed most of my core skills I used during the battle." zero says looking at his stats. "I still have 21 attribute points to spend." zero smiled with excitement seeing that. he couldn''t wait to see what he was really capable of once he got his class. ("from the reviews online most players who did extremely well on the first two courses makes it a lot easier to gain a [Rare] class quest. Trying to gain An [Epic] class quest was nothing but luck. that only a few alpha/Beta testers were able to receive it at the end of their tutorial. [Legendary] Class quest is basically a basically a myth and no one has gotten one, well except Ryu now.") Zero thought to himself as he decided to walked towards The Guide. "I would like to continue to the Next course." zero says towards the guide as it floated there Frozen again, coming back to life after I spoke. [Confirmed, Transferring Player to the Last Course] A bright white light blinded Zero. a few moments later he opened his eyes and notice he was in an all-white room. Zero Looked towards the Guide who was changing into a slim tall humanoid with all white skin that blended well into the room if its head wasn''t brighter than the room itself zero would have trouble spotting the creature. The Guide walks towards zero with elegance in each stride of its walk. stopping right in front of him. zero didn''t sense any danger from the guide but more of an omnipotent presence that was weird to explain what he felt. as it stood in front of him. [Player Zero, congratulations on passing every course with over 100% of perfect score. passing each of them without much effort. with such skills that even I couldn''t match is beyond The Average or professional player skill set.] it says towards zero with the game system notification voice. ("This must be the actual A.I. and not the Guide itself??") zero question in his mind. [The last course is supposed to be with me asking you questions. What I call The Survey Course. but I find that wasteful for someone of your caliber.] The A.I. says towards zero as he Looked surprised at what it just said. "So, what are trying to tell me here?" zero says looking confused. [Sorry for the confusion Player Zero. What I am trying to explain here is that no matter how many questions I ask towards you like other players before you. It could never help me calculate the perfect class for you...to simply put It. There is no class right now, that could match your full potential.] The A.I. Says as zero looked pale. it felt like someone just poured ice cold water all over his soul as he Yells out. "NANI!!!!!????" Chapter 4. Player Killers At the Atlanta, Georgia branch of Project Yggdrasil. The Development team was viewing Zero taking the Live Combat course on [Hell Mode] difficulty for the 22nd time. "This player is just insane. Doesn''t he get tired of doing the same thing over and over again?" one of the team members say out loud. the rest of the Dev team watch Amazed How one player could do all this in a matter of hours. Fighting against an A.I. that is made to calculate your every move and skills to counter you. "Would you get tired from drinking an energy drink? no, I wouldn''t think so. it''s like the longer he fought the better he got." The supervisor of the Dev team says as they watch in silence for a few moments. That''s when a red alert flashed in the room as everyone stop watching Zero and scrambled to their workstation to see what the problem was. "somebody tell me something!" The supervisor yells out. "S-sir! y-you got to see this!" one of the members say out loud nervously than proceed to pull up another screen placing over Zero''s. Everyone in the room looked shocked and some was rubbing their eyes just to see if it was real. "T-this is...I can''t believe it.... that player actually gotten...." Right before one of the Dev team members could finish the supervisor walked up towards the screen shaking with excitement. "A FUCKING LEGENDARY CLASS QUEST!!!! and our branch is the first to witness it!!!" He yells out with a fist pump in the air. The rest of dev team started celebrating as well. The screen zoomed in on A Player who Named highlighted [Ryu] as he was wearing full Heavy iron Armor set with a sword and shield like a Knight. Showing a highlighted golden notification screen in front of him saying [Worldwide System announcement! Congratulations to the Player Ryu! For being the first player in the world of [Euphoria] to unlock a Legendary Class quest.] 30 minutes Before the announcement.... Shows Ryu in an all-white room [ Welcome Player Ryu. to the Last Course, The Survey Course.][Unlike the previous-] just when the A.I. was about to say something else he was cut off. "Who the FUCK just said that Shit!" Ryu yell out sounded spooked. As he was turning his whole body to literally look for the voice. "Hello?" "Anybody there?" Ryu yells out as the voice went silent for a few moments than proceeded back to speaking again like Ryu wasn''t there. [Unlike The previous courses. this course isn''t a physical one but more of verbal one.] The A.I. Says while Ryu was still trying to locate where the voice was coming from. [Player Ryu. are you ready to begin the course?] [Yes] or [No] Ryu looked at the prompt. " If this is a verbal type of situation I should have put some points into charisma." he sighs "Damn it! Oh well" regretted that he didn''t put a few points into Charisma. clicking [Yes] on the prompt. [Beginning the course. 1st question, If you could pick either saving a village full of innocent lives from an attack and become a renowned Hero or Would you be the one to attack the village and sacrifice innocent lives to become a Villain. which would you pick?] The A.I. says. Ryu quickly answered the question. "Saving lives on a bad ass dragon becoming a hero easily." Ryu says with a happy smile doing a weird gesture with his hands. [2nd question, If You had to choose between saving your friend/companion or yourself from certain death with a creature many times stronger than both of you what would you do?] The A.I. Says not acknowledging Ryu''s first answer. Ryu quickly answered this one as well "Easy, I would Give my life for my dragon companion! saving him or her would always be the right thing to do!" [3rd question, if you could do anything in the world of [Euphoria] What would you do?] Ryu answered this even faster than the last two question. "Ride A dragon AS THE WIND PUSHES ME!" Ryu says with pride. [4th question, If you had one skill or any ability to choose for yourself what would it be?] Ryu actually thought for a minute or two than said. " To become ONE WITH THE DRAGON DOG!" After a few minutes more of The A.I. asking Ryu question and him mentioning dragons with everything he said. The A.I. finally stop with the questions. [congratulations Player Ryu! on completing the survey course.] [Would you like to end your tutorial and get your Evaluation?] [Yes] or [No] the notification popped up in front of Ryu as he clicked [Yes] in a rush excitedly to see what his results is. [Confirming....Evaluation results....] [Congratulations Player Ryu You Have Earned A Legendary Class Quest! You are the first player in the World of [Euphoria] to accomplish this.] Ryu couldn''t believe what he saw as he tried to rub his eyes while his helmet was still on as he jumped with joy laughing. "YOOOOO! What..I-I can''t believe this shit man!!!! like wooooow!!! I can''t wait to see the faces on Zero and the rest." [To Exit the Tutorial Please choose your Starting zone] The A.I. Says showing the Map of Euphoria. Ryu choose The Western Continent like they said they would. [Confirming...teleporting Player to the Western Continent.] A bright pillar of white light came down from the heavens. hundreds of miles away from the [Kingdom of Asuka] in a deep Forest full of magical creatures and spirits. Zero walked out of the Pillar of light as it faded away once his whole body was out of the Pillar. Covered in tatters of his leather armor and bent up iron gauntlets. His Cloth hood still covered his face with only his piercing red eyes could be seen under the hood as he scan his surroundings. seeing that there is no threat around him he calmed a little and let out a sigh. A Notification pop up in his view. [Congratulations Player Zero! On completing the tutorial zone You have unlocked A Rare Class Quest! open Your Journey menu by saying "Main Menu" and click "My Journey" to see all your quests and their descriptions! ] "Main Menu!" I yelled out the game Menu popped up in my view. I looked at it seeing the log out button as well along with the settings as I clicked the settings first. I made it to where I could get messages from discord putting its chat box above the one that''s already in game on the bottom left corner of my vision. I Looked to see all the messages I missed the past two days in game while stuck in the tutorial zone. "Look like Legend wasn''t kidding about the PK''ers." I said out loud to myself. Seeing screenshots and a few videos from the group chat showing players in the forest getting ganked and robbed by a bigger group of players showing no mercy or compassion towards any of their victims. I shake my head than put that matter to the back of my mind for now as I clicked the [My Journey] in the menu. I clicked on the rare class quest the tutorial gave me. [ The Drunken Woodsman] [Quest Type: Rare] [ Description: Travel to the kingdom of Asuka and visit and speak to the Drunk woodsman.] [ Rewards: New rare class could be unlocked for you. /?????] [Failure: Death of the woodsman or dislike from the woodsman could stop you from your rare class change.] Seeing this I sighed.... (I got to deal with drunks now!!!) I Yell in my mind as I looked over the quest and closed it out. I type a message to the group chat on discord telling them I''m out of the tutorial zone and heading towards the [Kingdom of Asuka]. I looked towards a grassy pathway and followed it as it led me through a thick growth of bushes and small trees. After a few minutes of walking, I come out of the pathway onto a cliff that was so high up that I could I see the forest and a few mountains for miles. I pulled my hood down along with the cloth covering my mouth as the wind blew my pure white hair feeling the warm breeze as I closed my eyes than reopening them. I took a screenshot of the scenery in front of me. I looked towards the northeast and saw a Large Kingdom in the distance. (That must be Asuka!) I thought to myself. I Looked over the sea of trees I notice the players right away. most still had the tutorial zone gear on killing few of the low-level mobs with their friends. some were soloing it and I spotted a few players getting killed and robbed by other players. some even left a few players without anything to fend with after robbing them. only just their bare back and hands. I shake my head at the unnecessary Griefing. than turn my head and notice a clear path towards Asuka without any hindrance in the way. I pulled my cloth hood over my head and covered my mouth as well. I stood straight on the cliff and dived off it headfirst aiming for a tree branch a few feet down from me as I grabbed hold of it with one hand swing myself up on top of it. Then proceeded towards the path I was looking at earlier by sticking to the trees jumping from branch to branch. Speeding through the forest like a cheetah. only a few players were able to glance up and saw a black blur passing above their head. "What the hell was that thing? " "Was that a bat or a panther???" The players that saw the blur shouted in the forest. a few moments later Zero arrive at the pathway towards Asuka. he landed on the ground looking around seeing or hearing no danger he started walking towards his destination. 20 minutes later of walking Zero heard a few shouts up ahead of him He instantly took cover in the bushes. He saw dust kicking up behind a few figures running he made out two females and three males coming towards where he was just at. Before they made a stop right directly in front of him, He each of them.

With a black colored smooth back and shaved on both sides'' hair style. With his brown colored eyes and chiseled chin like an actor. All of them look like they just came from a war zone. bruises, cuts, and dirt stains all over their characters. The wolf guy looks the worst as he was bleeding all over barely can stand or move. "Shane!!! We can''t keep running like this... Wolf is hurt badly and his HP Re-gen is barely able to keep up with his bleeding debuff." Misty says looking at NK Shane with worry and fear. Shane looks annoyed and than changed his face into a one with hopeful smile as he turned and looks back at her. "Don''t Worry Misty everything will be okay.... we just got to get to the cave." Shane says to her with a smile. Zero notices that quick mood change Shane just did. ("Now that wasn''t creepy at all...") Zero thought to himself. "Can he keep going? we can''t stop here, or they will defiantly catch up to us." Amethyst says with a serious look. "Wolf buddy...can you stand?" Shane asks kneeling right beside wolf putting his hand on his shoulder as wolf tried to stand up slowly but his legs gave out. he fell on his butt with pain and despair on his face as he shook his head with a no. Amethyst yells with frustration than walked towards Von. " Damn it why the fuck! did those guys even attack us out of nowhere we were just minding our business.... Von! you were covering the back for our retreat did they follow us??" Amethyst says with an angry face. Von turned to her and rubbed the back of his head. "I-I''m not too sure Amy....it was too much going on with all the dust and spells being flung around I couldn''t tell what was going on...but I''m pretty sure we lost them." Von says with a nervous look Amethyst shakes her head with an "ughhh". "Fucking greifers!! they just had to go full murder-hobo on launch day." Amethyst says pacing around with anger. " Sorry guys...if I didn''t get injured by them, we could had possibly made it to your grinding spot." Azure wolf says with a disappointed look. "Don''t Worry wolf. It''s not your fault that some stupid pimple face nerds couldn''t pogger in nobody''s chat today." Amethyst says out loud. the group shake their head at her comment. "But honestly she''s right wolf you can''t blame yourself for something you had no control over." Misty says with a smile towards him trying to cheer him up a little. "Right...if my stamina and health wasn''t draining at a fast pace when I move, we could continue." Wolf said balling up his fist with frustration. "Guys!!! we got company I think I see something." Von yells out as they look towards the way they came from seeing dust and whole lot of figures in it moving towards them. "Fuck! that''s gotta be them. we got to go like now." Amethyst says in a panic voice. "Von! try to carry wolf we need to keep moving." Shane says Von nods than proceeded to pick up wolf in princess style. They were about to move an arrow pierced Von''s Leg making him tumble forward dropping Wolf as they both fell to the ground. Amethyst was looking for the archer as she saw the person on the cliff above them preparing to knock another, but she knocked hers quicker and shot it towards the archer on the cliff. hitting him as he falls to his death. The other two Misty and Shane tried to get Von and Wolf off the ground and continue but it was too late as they were already surrounded. Zero still in hiding. no one spotted him as he looks towards his combat log seeing the system notifying his stealth increased by 1. He grins a little seeing that staying in one place is paying off. Zero saw the moment when the PK''ers surrounded the group in front of him. they were unaware of the situation the whole time the people that was chasing them already had a few of their allies'' station here for this moment. "They already had a few of them waiting up ahead just in case we ran fucking clever bastards!" Amethyst yelled out as one of the PK''ers dash straight at her wielding a two-handed battle axe doing a battle cry. swinging wildly at amethyst as she ducked and dodge the blows as she already had her sword out and stab right through the battle axe guy stomach. Blood gushed everywhere on her hand and outfit as she pulled the sword out killing the player as he fell to the side on the ground with a Thud! with lifeless eyes and blood spilling from his mouth. She yelled out with a battle cry "Fucking come at us Bitches!!!" this started the skirmish as both sides begin to battle. It was 8 against four of them they manage to take down three in the last few minutes since the battle started. Zero was actually surprised that the four was able to fight well with such a handicap. (I''m guessing having a combat class suited for your style is a big difference.) Zero thought to himself as he notices that the bodies doesn''t pixel away while combat is going on unlike in the tutorial Zone. he started to remember from the reviews about that mechanic in the game to make the combat look Realistic. My skill buzzed like crazy as I felt the ground trembled around me and the battle that''s going on in front of me. My eyes widen with surprise seeing a tall figure a few feet away approaching the battle The huge figure as I saw it for what it was. Standing at least 12 to 14 feet high was an actual giant A player at that. I used on the giant to pique my curiosity. [ Character Level: 15 ] [ Name: Ragna Khan] [ Race: Giant Male] [ Karma: Bad to the bone] [ Guild: Ragnar?k ] [ Class: Lvl.10 Bandit (Common)] [ Health: 13,550/13,550] [ Stamina: 11,500/11,500] The giant was pale white like snow had a red colored very bushy and long braided beard, Bald head with A face of a bear tatted on it.

Deadly black colored eyes as he scanned the battle that was going on he Roared with a powerful voice. The battle stopped as the attention was drawn towards the giant and the 20 or so players behind him. Zero also spotted two other players standing beside the Giant with equal footing he used on the two players standing on each side of the Giant. [ Character Level: 15] [ Name: Vicious Vicki] [ Race: Orc female] [ Karma: she is more than a man eater] [ Guild: Ragnar?k] [ Class: Lvl.10 Bandit (Common)] [ Health: 8,440/8,440] [ Stamina: 12,990/12,990] The one on his right side was a female orc With Green skin Black colored One side completely shaved off hair style. with piercing, purple-colored eyes.

He was a Siberian tiger like Beast Kin. With intense Green colored eyes. he wore leather armor as well but more gladiator style. He had no weapons around his waist or in his hands. Zero couldn''t help to be in awe at the information he was seeing on the three PK''ERS that just arrived leading an army. (Them three must be the leaders of this guild of Player killers... I still can''t believe Bandit is a class you can play as...this game is just too awesome.... anyway, those guys are screwed even one of the leaders could possibly kill them on their own. with all three plus their small battalion.... the smartest thing for them is to beg for a quick death.) Zero thought to himself about this situation. "Tsk! tsk! You mice are sure slippery. making us work hard for your demise." The orc female player Vicki says towards the group as her and the two leaders walks up casually a few feet away from the group with a sinister smile on her face. "it''s funny that your all back at the same predicament as before....hahaha such comedy." Vicki laughed like psycho. "Why are you doing this!? we were just minding our own business there is no need for it to be like this." Misty says with a panic voice as she stayed closed to Wolf who is still injured badly. "Yeah, you fucking dickheads!!! we are trying to enjoy the game unlike you guys who purpose is to ruin other players experiences Fucking assholes!" Amethyst yells out towards the PK''ERS. "Hehe he...Wow what a potty mouth do you kiss your mother with that?" The tiger BeastKin Claw says towards Amethyst. "How about you kiss these balls nerd!!!" Amethyst said with a rude gesture as a clap back. "Amethyst!" NK Shane yelled out at her with a warning glance. "Please! forgive my friend...she is a bit.... unfiltered and if we could solve this little misunderstanding with a bargain, we are obligated to comply how about it friends?" NK Shane says with invisible sweat and a smile to cover his nervousness. "I''m NOT COMPLYING TO shi-" Just before Amethyst was about to finish, she was cut off with another warning from Shane "Amethyst...Not another word" he said seriously this time opening his fox eyes opens a little. The Bandit leaders looked at each other than burst out Laughing along with their goons. The Giant bandit leader Ragna steps up towards Shane looking down at him like he was just an ant that could be squashed at any moment. "You ...Kneel." Ragna says in a deep booming voice The PK''ERS started snickering among each other watching the scene play out as Shane look up at the Giant. "Y-you want me to kneel?" he said in a nervous voice. "I thought you wanted a deal handsome...you better do what dear "ole" Ragna say, or this might be your last time speaking." Vicki says with a smirk. "KNEEL!!!" Ragna yells out louder than before Shane flinched a little than look back at his group. He looked at misty who nodded for him to do it with mouthing saying "Please". Then looking at Wolf who was looking back at him with a concern face. Then he looked at von who was nodding as well towards him. than he looked at Amethyst who was shaking her head while biting her lips making them bleed her face had frustration on it. Shane decided than...and knelt "okay I did what you ask now what?" Shane looked up at Ragna but as soon he saw that evil smirk it was too late all he felt was pain. his body was launched off the ground like a rocket as he flew spiraling a few yards away from his original position. Landing with a bone cracking crash into a pile of rocks as dust spread around the area of the crash. "SHANE!!!" Misty yelled out seeing the dust cleared a little showing a bloody face Shane dazed in the pile of rocks. (Half his health was gone with one blow sheesh!) zero thought to himself looking towards the bloody Shane. " Damn only half!? I thought I would have at least kicked his head off." Ragna says with a disappointed look Shane''s two wolf''s lunged at the giant as he blocked both the wolves bite with one arm. "Damn Mutts!!!" Ragna slammed down with his arm into the ground crushing the wolves as they howled out with dying yelp as blood splattered every where in the crater that was left by the crushing attack. "You fucking monster!!!" Amethyst yells out as she begins to attack Ragna shooting a few arrows at him as he blocked them with ease with his large arms as the arrows only sunk in the skin a little but not deep enough to hurt the Giant. Vicki draws her weapons as she dashes at Amethyst. Amethyst seeing the female Orc heading towards her she was trying to put up her bow going for her sword. "Battle Rush!!!" Vicki yells out the skill to make her move and attack faster. it activated leaving behind after images. Amethyst was surprised by the burst of speed pulling out her sword, but it wouldn''t be enough time to block the attack. "Shield charge!!!" Von yells out activating the skill to instantly appear in front of Amethyst to block Vicki attack. Vicki face shows with annoyance at the interference from Von. "Are you taking me on with that injured leg? cute I admire your tenacity handsome." Vicki says with a wink and a devilish smile. "I will do what I can to protect my friends." Von says with determination. A Figure darted pass him with insane speed. it was Fierce claw he was running on all fours. heading straight for Amethyst she was ready having her sword out. she slashed out with basic sword attacks at him he dodges the attacks with ease. seeing this she used one of the one handed sword skills it''s an instant strike with a one-handed sword that moves faster than the speed of sound. "Dodge this you furry shit!!!Piercing Flash!!!" Amethyst yells out. The attack was countered by Fierce Claw''s skill that blocks all physical attacks at the right moment. Claw timing was incredible it surprised amethyst leaving her in a daze. than he used one of his skills A claw Cone attack that cuts everything in front of the user. To other people the exchange happens in an instant. For zero it was all in slow motion he saw every strike and movement that was made by the two and from his prospective Amethyst stood no chance. Blood sprayed everywhere amethyst health dropped at an alarming rate from that one attack stopping at 30% from 0. She fell to her knees with wounds all over her body breathing heavy as the look on her face was in despair. Fierce claw licked the blood from his claws while walking around amethyst with a chuckle. "AMY!!! Nooooo!!!" Misty yell out with a cry only a few feet away from them she used one of the magical staff skills shoots a wave of fire towards the area in front of the user. "Get away from her you sicko!!!!Flame Wave!!!" Amethyst yells out. The fire attack shot straight for Fierce as he did a retreat back from the attack. looking at the annoying misty for ruining his moment. That''s when she ran up and grabbed Amethyst to slide her back where wolf was at as she put them back-to-back and stood up protecting them for what''s to come next. A loud grunt yelled out from Misty Right she saw a wounded and kneeling Von. A couple of feet away near Vicki who was giggling and teasing the wounded man. Von was trying to stand but that''s when he was launched in the air by a kick from the Giant Ragna landing with a loud thud right beside Misty. "Von!!!" she yells checking on him as she heard a few chuckles behind her seeing the three bandit leader''s goons bringing Shane and dropping him few feet beside wolf as they slowly backed away with devilish smiles. "Shane!!!" misty yells out in a panic running towards him and sliding him to where the rest of her party was at. Misty stood in front of her friends with a few tears running down her cheeks. "Awe look at the little chick trying to protect her friends isn''t that sweet." Vicki says with a smirk as their group of PK''ers laughed. Ragna walks up looking down at the group they just toyed with. "This is why we do this little girl...for content like this. it''s what makes us feel alive in every way. Not no bull shit questing. not no mob grinding. leveling in dungeons no. Nothing but Player killing!!! That''s what real gaming is!" Ragna says with a wide creepy grin. "B-but that''s not how the game is to be played! your ruining it for others can''t see that!!???" Misty cry''s out. "Haha haha!!!! This is "Your Fantasy" Remember! you can play how ever you want...and if ruining the game for others is how we play shit why not??? right boys!!!" Ragna says with a proud face. Cheers shake the area around them from the player killers saying, "Hell yeah!!! or Damn Right!!!" Misty was in total fear now as she didn''t know what to say or do at this moment. "R-run...misty...you can still get out of here." Wolf says looking at her with a determination. Misty was surprised by that "No! I''m not leaving you guys if we die, we die together." She felt a hand on her shoulder she looks and saw the bloody face Shane standing beside her along with Von and Amethyst. "Get The Hell out of here Misty this isn''t up for discussion!" Amethyst said with a serious tone in her voice. "Yeah, shura you got to be the one to survive." Von says with a smile. "We will hold them off while you retreat and find a good hiding spot. we will message you once we re-spawn... so go Misty!!" Misty looked at the determination of her friend''s tears was rolling even faster down her cheeks. "Guys..." Misty says than nodded with a sigh. "Don''t Worry Princess...you''re not going anywhere." Fierce claw says with malice in his tone. The group was seeing all the PK''ers surrounding them. "Don''t let none of them escape!!! Let''s see how many I can decapitate with one attack." Ragna says with a smirk Holding both his Axes up high for a large wide swing with both weapons. Suddenly one of the PK''ers come flying out the bushes to the right of both groups showing the player foaming from the mouth with lifeless eyes. Fierce Claw keen senses instantly picked up on the murderous aura. He prepared his self for an attack. ("Such danger! did that fool trigger a world boss in this area.") Red eyes Pierced the veil of bushes and trees looking directly at Claw. His passive skill activated allows him to sense deadly danger towards him. He steps back a little showing fear on his face. The two bandit leaders notice Fierce behavior with surprised looks. "Fierce! what is it." Vicki asks looking at him worried. "I-I think that idiot triggered a world boss. My senses are going crazy with danger." Both the leaders gulped and also backed a few steps along with their goons. When Shane heard that he sighs under his breath. ("Damn it!! right when I''m too low level and hurt if it''s the world boss I''m thinking of...this would''ve been a great opportunity to capture it fuck!!!!") Shane thought to himself. Both groups we''re terrified to see what was going to come out of those bushes. "Damn it...and here I tried to get away from this scuffle and now I''m the center of attention." A brown and black hooded Figure says with a mixture of the tutorial zone armors on that looked tattered and bent up. They all analyzed him seeing his name [Zero] and his character level 7. "hahaha. Are you serious Claw... you had us worried over a level 7 noob!?" Vicki said with a laugh following another roar of laughing from the PK''ers. While Shane group hope of escape turn into a distant dream seeing the so-called world boss was just a passing player. The PK''ERS were still laughing all except Fierce claw who still saw the danger in front of him. ("Was that just a bug in the system. there is no way a player could have such dangerous aura around him that resembles a world boss.") Fierce claw thought to himself. "hahaha Seem like you pick the wrong time to reveal yourself bud!" Ragna says with a cold laugh. "Well, what are you guys waiting for.... Kill him and avenge your falling comrade!!!" Ragna yells out as 10 PK''ers rush for zero screaming out battle cries. He wasn''t paying it no mind as his curiosity was peak at the notification in his view. [You have unlocked the following Character Skill ]. Chapter 5. "Im Zero, Not a Hero!" : (A passive Skill that makes the user look dangerous to those who could sense it or to see it. intense pressure of fear or intimidation will overcome them. increase Charisma and physical attributes by 10 if activated. this will increase with each level gain for the skill.) Zero was amazed by the skill he just obtained as he closed the notification screen. He just noticed the group of players heading straight for him with their weapons out. Before they could even reach a few feet away from Zero. They felt it...the pressure of the passive skill .The PK''ers came to a halt all 10 showed a pale face sweating. Some even dropped to their knees looking up at Zero who suddenly looked like a titan compared to earlier. The three bandit leaders and Shane''s group was all in shock. They all saw Zero just casually started walking towards the frozen players. "What are you morons doing fucking kill him!!!" Vicki yell out with frustration. it was too late Zero vanish with a blur as he appeared behind the group of frozen PK''ers as they all fell to the ground at the same time with foam from their mouths and lifeless eyes. Zero''s notification exploded as golden light filled him with refreshness showing that he had level up a few times from just killing those players. (No wonder these guys are Player Killers) Zero thought to himself. "What the fuck was that, and did he just level up three times from that??" Vicki cursed out "Now he''s level A 10 after that one encounter is he a hacker?? I couldn''t see anything they just all died instantly." Ragna says as he looks down towards Fierce who was looking like a wet puppy. "Fierce....what''s going on? did you see any of that?" Ragna question Fierce who slowly started walking backwards trying to run away. "H-H-He''s a monster! I only saw a few of the attacks...but the rest even I couldn''t keep up. He was only using his hands no weapons his bow and daggers both didn''t leave their positions." When the rest of the PK''ers heard that they all started to get cold feet. "Tsk! you pussies all wetting yourselves. Ragna! let us show this so-called hacker that we are the real danger here." Vicki smirked with a confident look. "Hmph. if Fierce is afraid we shouldn''t underestimate this guy, Vicki." Ragna says with a cold voice as he started walking along with Vicki to meet zero as he looked over his shoulder at Fierce. "You can either fight with us or stand there like a deer in headlights." Ragna says towards him with a serious voice. Fierce claw who was hesitant to go forward now smacking himself hard. blood drip from his mouth as he spit some out. He started looking serious as he also walked up right beside the other two leaders. Zero who managed to meet the three leaders half way after looking at his notifications that pop up from killing those PK''ers and closing them out for now to look at them later. "Who are you? some sort of hero for these fools." Ragna says with a low growl. Zero who looked up at the Giant with confusion. "Hero??...Nah I''m Zero Big guy." Zero says nonchalantly. Ragna looks at him with silence. (That guy just dropped 10 players by himself with no help...and there were some that was a higher level than him.) NK Shane thought to himself as he looks towards zero with interest. He clicked on Zero''s name that was highlighted in his view he saw the option of whisper. He whispered to zero. Zero eyes looked to the corner of his vision seeing a Whisper from that Shane guy. [NK Shane]: ~ Hey sorry for asking you of this but Please help us! We can offer you anything in return, I promise what do you say?~ [Zero]: ~Its Fine, I don''t want anything I was going to take care of these guys any way since they attack me first.~ [NK Shane] : ~Thanks! we will definitely pay you back for this.~ Zero sighed a little as he looked back at the three bandit leaders who was still staring at him silently. He was guessing they was privately chatting with each other. "So...are we doing this or what?" Zero said with a bored tone in his voice. "You really think you can take all three of us at once?? you must really know how to hack this game...which should be impossible." Vicki says sharply at him. "We all know there''s no way you can hack a game that''s run by an A.I." Zero says looking at them with annoyance. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. "Hmph! whatever the case maybe it doesn''t matter now. you fucked up by killing our brothers and sisters! hacks or not I will claim your HEAD!" Ragna yells out as he charged with his Axes held out along with both the leaders as the fight begins. Zero prepare himself for the battle that''s about to happen he pulled out both his daggers. Seeing the first to arrive in front of him was Vicki who appeared in front of him using She roared with a battle cry coming down with the dual wield skill . Zero used his Skill instantly countering the attack. Zero used the dagger skill on a weak spot on her stomach. She instantly felt the pain dropping to her knees. He than looked down at her with red cold eyes. She looked at him with a pale face as he pulled the dagger out. Blood burst out everywhere causing a major bleeding debuff in Vicki status. { Has hit A for -8,440! Bleeding damage!} [Warning you are now bleeding! use bandages or a re-gen potion to heal yourself! if not you will die.] Vicki saw the status debuff and her health was already gone She knew her fate. she held her stomach and fell on her back with lifeless eyes. Zero didn''t waste any time as he saw Ragna only a few feet away from him coming down with one of his Axes. he easily dodges it as he used skill on Ragna''s knee crippling the Giant as he fell to that one knee screaming in agony. He swung his other axe this time it glowed red. "Shatter!!!" Ragna yells out as the Two-handed skill was about to land right on zero''s head. He dodge it with ease showing the weapon slamming on the ground with cracks like an earthquake just happened. Fierce claw manage to close the distance on Zero when he was dodging Ragna''s attack. going for an opportunity. Zero saw the beastkin tiger coming for him. They both clashed claws against steel. Then exchange rapid blows of normal attacks that was too fast for the normal eye can see. Fierce claw activated his skill his hands moved like a blur. Zero used his dual wielding skill exchange rapid attacks. Zero attack ended up winning as his skill instantly overpowered fierce claw''s attack. Zero hit every on fierce claw''s body making the tiger BeastKin cough up blood as he tumbled over with lifeless eyes, and a shredded body of cuts to the ground with a thud! Zero looked back over his shoulder seeing a lifeless Fierce Claw on the ground. His Activated as he ducked a large two-handed axe that was thrown aiming for his head. A Raging Ragna was getting up off the ground as if his crippling damage seem to disappear. A buff was activated for Ragna called : This Racial skill makes the player immune to stuns and crippling damages. also increase their strength and constitution by 10. Zero looks towards the giant who was emitting a powerful raging aura around himself. ("Look like he gotten serious better go ahead and end this.") Zero thought to himself looking at the raging giant in front of him. Ragna looks at his falling comrades his rage started to boil staring at Zero with burning rage. "I Will kill you! and kill you over! and over! over again! till you stop playing and sell your account you meddling FUCK!!!!" Ragna roared out with intense rage. Running straight at Zero with the bandit skill making him Sprint like a stampede of elephants shaking the earth. Ragna Lunged at Zero using the two handed skill coming down with his weapon leaving a small crater. Seeing that zero was no longer at the spot he aimed at. he retrieved his other axe as he turned spotted Zero a few feet away he snickered. "Stop running you Fucking mice!!! fight me like a man!" Ragna yells out as he no longer saw zero in his sight as he just disappeared. Zero used appearing in one of the tree branches behind Ragna a few yards away. aiming his bow with a glowing yellow arrow. Ragna was still looking for Zero but couldn''t even spot anything resembling him. He Roared with anger than an Arrow pierced right through the back of his head and out of his mouth as his eyes got wide he instantly drop his Axes. than to both his knees as his eyes rolled to back of his head as he tumbled over like a tree. { Hit a for -13,550 Critical Damage!} Zero instantly appeared right behind the falling giant Started walking around him slowly as he looked down at Ragna with cold eyes. he instantly turned his head around looking directly at the rest of the PK''ers. They all looked like death has arrive to take their souls. they all turned tail running and screaming. Zero Glowed Golden again feeling refresh. His notifications lit up in his view. [Congratulations! You have reach the character level 15!] [Congratulations! Your Class Has reach Level 10!] [Congratulations! You have obtain the title !] [You Have Obtained the Class skill ] Shane''s group couldn''t believe what they just saw. This random Solo player just defeated three level 15 players and their goons who weren''t causal players either by himself with no help. Shane group looked at the dead leaders. Amazed that he took them down in a matter of minutes. After looking at his notifications Zero look back at Shane''s group. Zero stared at them as they stared back at him like he was some sort of celebrity. "Wooooow...." Amethyst said in a low voice eyes sparked looking at Zero who was like a star in her eyes. "H-He....actually manage to beat them." Von says with awe. "T-Thank you for saving us!" Misty says wiping the tears away from her eyes smiling with joy standing there with an injured wolf leaning on her. "No problem.... these assholes wanted the trouble, and it came to them." Zero said coldly staring at the dead leaders who bodies were slowly turning into pixels along with the other dead PK''ers. Hearing movement coming right beside him. Zero turned looking at NK Shane who was on the side of him with a smile and his hand out for a shake. "Either way you save us thank you, if there''s anything you nee-" Shane was about to finish talking until he was interrupted by Zero Who looked at Shane''s hand than back at him. "I told you...they attack me as well. so don''t worry about repaying me back for this and just remember everybody gets one!" Zero than turned around and was about to leave. "Wait!!!" It was Amethyst who was barely standing. "Add Me BRUH!" She said yelling out. Zero couldn''t help but to be amazed he added her just cause of that as he chuckles a little along with the group. They all added Zero as a friend a few moments later after they pointed out how cool it was that he took out the three bandit leaders and kept asking was he a hacker and how he was able to overpower and one shot most of the PLAYER Killers. "Easy I maxed out my Skills." Zero said nonchalantly Their jaws dropped hearing this. "Even so what skills that are maxed out to make you one shot things." Misty says with curiosity she just couldn''t believe the A.I. would let certain skills stay overpowered like that. Zero smirked at her comment. "That''s me and the A.I. little secret." Zero says as he turned around and starting to leave. He wave back at the group with a goodbye and good luck he then vanished from their view. The group saw the strange player left vanishing before their very eyes. "Damn he''s too fucking cool." Amethyst says with amazement. "And Hot!" Misty says blushing along with Amethyst agreeing as they giggle. the guys all shake their heads and rolled their eyes. 30 minutes later..... Zero Finally arrived at Asuka with the help of his new class skill . Looking over the kingdom from a cliff. {You have discovered a new location [Kingdom of Asuka] 2,000 EXP is awarded}. The buildings looked Asian Oriented and a mixture of Arabic. Zero notices the different race of people going in and out of the kingdom it was a sight to see. the tallest building was a White and gold colored castle that almost reached the clouds. Zero snapped a screenshot. Then he jumped from the cliff landing lightly on the road towards Asuka. "Thank god for the skill that allows me to be light as a feather." Zero says. A few moments later after walking around the Kingdom. I found the destination I was looking for. The building was a mansion with a gate around it on top of the gates a sign hang saying, "Adventure Guild." I entered the building seeing different players and NPCs interacting with each other. Than I saw a group of figures waiting for me waving as I smiled and walked towards them. Chapter 6. Legendary Class Quest, Part 1 "Yo! sup guys, sorry it took me longer than expected to get here."

The Royal guards instantly reacted blocking the way forward. "Halt! To see the You must present us the right document to pass." One of the guards says towards Ryu. Making him tense up a little. "Shit!! I almost forgot about that." Ryu say with a panic Voice Scrambling around to find what the guards need as a small golden like ticket fell out of his armor onto the ground. "Ah DAMN it! fucking armor and no damn pockets!" Ryu grunts as he picked it up while Gamebreaker and Fist chuckles from his grunts he was making to pick up the ticket. Ryu showed the guards the golden Ticket. They both got back to their original positions. "You May pass Travelers." One of the guards says We all walked in the tent. it was a lot bigger than we thought. Once we got in A man was standing there waiting for us. With a Bald Head, and Brown skin tone, purple color Arabic style long sleeves V-Neck and silk purple pants and all black shoes, Light blue colored eyes that stared straight at us with a humble smile. "Hello, Travelers We have been expecting you. I am Kon the Seer''s Assistant. please follow me." Kon says with a smooth voice. He turns around Leading the way towards the seer. We all looked at each other. Quentin was the first to speak mentally in our group chat. [Grim Lee]: "I don''t know about you guys, but I don''t trust this guy." [ Legendary Swordsman]: "Bruh! you''re reading my mind Quentin; this guy might be leading us to a trap!" [Mykenai Azelas]: "Idk guys...he doesn''t seem that hostile." [ Katsumi]: "I mean if this is a trap we just can kill him." [Ryu]: "Kill!? No hell!!!....y''all are not about to mess up my quest!" [Zero]: "Well...for now let''s try to see where he takes us, if it seems fishy. I say we think of a plan for now to escape." The group talk for a few moments in the party chat till Kon looked over shoulders and spoke while we were still walking. "Please do not worry, no harm shall come to any of you. By me or my master I assure you of this." Kon says nonchalantly looking back forward. Everyone stops to look at each other. except Kon who keep walking forward. [Legendary Swordsman]: "Did that bot just read our chat...or am I tripping??" [ Mykenai Azelas]: "Dood! I''m really starting to doubt he is a bot." They all agreed with Game breaker''s comment as they kept talking in the group chat about Kon''s identity. This peaked Zero curiosity he used on Kon while they started back walking again. [Name: Kon, The Seer''s Assistant] [ Level: 30] [ Health: 15,000/15,000] [Mana: 35,000/35,000] [Stamina: 15,000/15,000] [ Race: Human Male] [Zero]: "Yeah he is most definitely an NPC, A strong one from the stats." "We have arrived, you may Enter." Kon says with a respectable tone in his voice as he opened a curtain like door. That Showed a room full of old Antiques, Magical items, caged magical Creatures, the ceiling looked like a galaxy full of stars. In the middle of the room was a table that sat a large luminous crystal ball in the middle. Behind the table was a woman with Dark brown colored skin tone, A Purple and black hooded robe, on the hood was A black colored eye of Horus symbol. The hood shrouded her face. "Master, our guests have arrived." Kon says with a bow towards the seer. Standing beside her. "Hmmm.... I see, Thank you Kon." The seer says while walking slowly around the table coming towards us, she stops in front of the table looked directly at us. Her eyes glowed with a rainbow color. "Welcome Travelers I have been expecting you for a while now." The seer says towards us as her eyes pinned on Ryu. Who was about to introduce himself but was cutoff before he could. "You are Ryu, Correct?" The seer asks Ryu looked surprised. "The hell! I-I mean yes ma''am." Ryu says as he studder a little bit. The seer looks at everyone else. Then her Eyes gotten wide looking at me. She coughs than started to look around at each of us again. "All of you are here today for a mighty adventure that Ryu must embark on. But this isn''t just any Adventure it''s one that will begin many great adventures and make way for other destinies to begin." The seer says as she walked back around the crystal ball with her hands behind her back. Then she touches it showing an image of a cave in a deep forest. than it showed an image of a Red ancient dragon sleeping around a sword in a stone. The Seer looked back at us. "Your destiny lies in that cave with the ancient dragon Ryu." The seer says looking at him "Where can I find the cave?" Ryu ask looking at the image of the dragon with sparkling eyes. "You must travel towards the Northeast of this kingdom towards the ". The seer says looking at everyone once again. "T-Thank you for the information, Ma''am! we will be going now." Tony says towards the seer with a humble nod excited to rush off. We were about to walk out till she yelled out "Wait!" She walked back toward us and stood only a few feet away. Some of the party put their hands on their weapons looking back at the seer and their surroundings. "Don''t Worry children. there is no trouble.... just that before you all go i wanted to say each of you are destined for great things in the future of [Euphoria]." The seer says but then point at me looking directly at me. "You on the other hand....I''m not sure. Every time I try to look at your Destiny it comes up blank...never in my lifetime have I encountered such a phenomenon with a non-Seer Can you please tell me your name young man?" The seer says towards me as I and the rest of the group looked surprised. "My name is Zero." I say with no hesitation looking back at her. "Zero....Huh I would remember such a name if you were a Seer. Only way a destiny cannot be seen if mysterious powers are at work, or you are a Seer like me and my assistant." The seer says while turning back around looking at Kon. "Kon, can you see his destiny?" The seer asks her assistant Kon who had his eyes closed and standing at same spot since the group enter the room shaking his head no. "No master, I tried it earlier but just like you my vision didn''t show me anything either." Kon says with his eyes closed still not moving an inch like a statue. "Interesting indeed. Young Zero please visit us again in the future maybe then. I will have more answer about this...as for the rest of you I will see you again.... eventually Hehe he..." The seer waved them off and walked back behind the crystal ball and sat in her chair. "What do you think about all this my sweet and humble Nephew." The seer asked, as Kon open his eyes a little staring at Zero''s back with a sly smirk while the group of travelers left the room. "I think this is the beginning of a change for the world of [Euphoria] Dear Aunt." Kon says in a low voice only him and her can hear. A few moments later the group arrived outside of the Seer''s tent a few miles down the road as they stop. "Dude what the mystical fuck was that." Legend says with wide eyes. "Bro I''m not going to lie that shit had me on edge when she stops us from leaving." Quentin says looking back down towards the seer''s tent. "Yeah, that back there was kind of SUS." Gamebreaker says "Yeah, I don''t want to go back there again if I don''t have to." Gear says with invisible sweat rolling down his forehead. "The fact that the conversation back there was so immersive, and that whole "can''t see your destiny" crap with zero here was crazy. What do you think that was all about zero?" Katsumi asked Zero looking at him with confusion along with the rest of the group as Zero rubbed the back of his head he was about to talk till cut off by Ryu. "My Quest updated guys!! it''s just like the seer said we must head to the lucky for me I just unlocked the adventurer skill it''s pulling me towards the forest." Ryu says excitedly not knowing he cutoff zero that was going to say something. He just let it go as they left the street from the seer''s tent. We chatted for a few whiles walking and stopped at some of the local stores around the Kingdom getting bandages, different armors and, weapons heading towards the forest. Walking towards the path we fought against different mobs of monsters and magical beast. killing them just as fast as encountering them. After what felt like 3 to 4 hours of walking and murder-hoboing we finally arrived at the . Once we stepped in the forest it instantly turned dark along with a few notifications. [You have a Discovered a New location Awarding {+2,000 EXP}] [ You Have Entered A Domain of a powerful Entity, All creatures influence by this Domain will have all stats increased by 5 and 10% Resistant to Dark and light elements.] "Wonder why they call this the forest of Dutch Veil??" Ryu asked as we kept walking through the forest till, we heard ghostly whale that scared a little bit of the group. "I think that right there just answer your question, Tony." Gamebreaker says laughing a little. My skill triggers "Wait...hide! we need to hide now!" I say out loud warning the group as we all hide behind or in something in the forest. A few seconds later A giant glowing ghost like figure comes flying down slowly at the spot we were just at that looked like a Zombified warrior mage king. He has a crown on top of his head with wild hair, Skeleton like head, torso was a plate chest armor, with tattered Lower robes showing nothing but decaying feet, and a giant Bad ass two handed sword on its back. He looked around the area searching. He grumbled and growl under his breath. I Analyzed the ghostly figure from the bushes I was hiding in. [Name: Dutch Veil, The Jailer] [ Level: ?] [ Health: ???/???] [Mana: ???/???] [Stamina: ???/???] [ Race: undead male] 5 more ghostly like figures arrive above the Dutch head. "Lord Veil....we have located a few trespassers." one of the ghostly figures say. they looked exactly like Dutch but no lower body just a ghostly lower half. "You trespassers will rule the day you step into my domain!" He yells out with a ghostly whale. Flying away along with his minions. The group came back to their original positions. "Good call out Zero. A second later we would''ve rule this day for coming here." Legend says towards me as the group nodded in agreement. "So should we continue towards the cave or head back?" Fist says looking worried "I think we should turn back...I got a bad feeling if we continue forward there will be even more trouble." Quentin says looking paranoid around his surroundings. "I''m with Quen, with this one...I don''t think we should try our luck with the cave." Gear says wrapping his cat tail around one of his leg. "I mean it''s my quest you guys don''t have to go forward from this point on." Ryu says without hesitation. "Nah we won''t let you do this alone tony, plus you guys heard the seer. This Quest will be the beginning of great adventures for us in the future that means a lot of great Loot!" I say towards the group as they pondered for a few seconds. " I agree with Zero, we should continue even if death might await us in the end what we have to lose?" Legend says Everyone slowly started to come around and agreeing as well. "Okay it''s settled let''s keep going guys." I say with an excited voice. 30 minutes later...After traveling through the forest talking about different plans to tackle this quest and Hiding from the Dutch''s guard Patrol. We finally found the cave from the seer''s vision. it was on A mountain that was shaped like a volcano. Once we arrived, we saw a platoon of zombies that look like an ancient Army of an old kingdom guarding the entrance of the cave with barricades, watch towers, and even a stable of undead horses. There was an outpost right here at the cave surprising us. The first to speak in our group chat once we arrived was legend [Legendary Swordsman]: "That''s just great. This wasn''t in the vision the seer showed us." [Martial King]: "I know right! I''m starting to think that seer is a troll Lol xD." [Zero]: "Either way we still got to get in that cave, Let''s wait for a few more minutes than we execute Plan C." The group all agreed as They waited. That''s when they heard a few yells and screams coming from the direction to the west of their position. "Let us go you dirty apes!" A group of mining gnomes emerged from forest being dragged in chains by a few of the undead guards. Then a Giant undead bigger than the other guards Wearing barbarian like attire with a giant white goat skull as a helmet with a huge axe on its back came out of the cave along with another undead, but this one was wearing an all-black hooded robes that are tattered. "Oh we have a feisty one this time.... bring them to my Lab let''s see how long it will take for them to break like the others hahahahahahaha!" The hooded undead says with a creepy voice as he walked back in the cave. The giant undead guard grunts at the guards with the gnomes to bring them into the Cave he walked behind them as the gnomes kept yelling and screaming to be released. [Mykenai Azelas]: "Okay that wasn''t a crazy event of things. So, what do we do about that?" [Katsumi]: "I say we forget about them and continue with the quest." [Legendary Swordsman]: "That''s Cold bro." [Ryu]: "Yeah that really is messed up." [Zero]: "How about this if they are still alive...if .... we can try to save them once we get through the cave and see them." [Grim Lee]: "I''m down for that idea." Everyone agreed as well. [Zero]: "Okay Guys let''s show these undead fucks what we all about!" Once after Zero said that in the group chat, he knocked four arrows. Releasing them in a quick motion shooting all four arrows at the undead guards on the watch towers killing them instantly. { Hit a for -2,600 Critical Damage!} { Hit a for -2,600 Critical Damage!} { Hit a for -2,600 Critical Damage!} { Hit a for -2,600 Critical Damage!} Right after the death of the guards in the watch towers. Katsumi and gear manage to sneak behind the other six guards that was watching the cave entrance coming from above they silently killed each of them from behind. Once the cave entrance was taking care of. Ryu along with Legend, GB, and Fist rushed the front of the cave. Where the barricades and stables were at charged at the undead guards taking them out with ease without the help of reinforcement from the entrance of the cave or range attacks from the watchtowers. "Good job guys." I say walking out of the woods along with Quentin. "Yeah, that was a piece of cake. went way too easy than I thought in my head." Legend says with a smile that was soon interrupted by a ghostly Whale from the entrance of the cave. We all looked towards the Entrance where Katsumi and Gear both was pushed backed by the Giant undead Guard''s ghostly whale making them slide towards us. "Damn looks like the big guy came back too fast." I say looking at the Giant undead as I Analyzed him. [Name: Captain, Yox] [ Level: ?? 23] [ Health : 23,500/23,500] [Mana: 10,000/10,000 ] [Stamina: 23,000/23,000 ] [ Race: Undead Giant male ] I look at the information I was seeing on the undead Giant and told the group that he is a tier 1 boss. "Shit! I just had to run my mouth huh? you guys go on ahead I will keep him busy long enough for you guys to get deeper in the Cave." Legend says with a light chuckle as he walks in front of us readying his weapon. "Bro legend! this guy is an elite you shouldn''t fight him by yourself." I say looking at him with a serious expression. "He won''t...I will help him." Katsumi says as She stepped up beside him. The giant undead rage reaches its limit and ran straight at us as both Legend and Katsumi both looked at each other and nodded meeting the Giant head on and leading it away from the entrance. "Well, this didn''t go as planned." Quentin says "It will be fine let''s head in and not make their sacrifice go in vain" I say as we ran into the Cave. A few minutes later running in the Cave we all get a notification. [You Have Discovered a Dungeon All Creatures in this dungeon will become more difficult the more players there are.] Chapter 7. Legendary Class Quest, part 2 Boom!! A large explosion set off in middle of the Dutch''s forest. Katsumi''s figure slides through the grass Stopping right beside Legend who was looking at her with a blank face. "So....did ya have fun?" Legend says towards Katsumi who was panting. looking back at him with dirt stains and burnt marks all over her character. "Yeah, we going to have to go with your idea." Katsumi says with a sigh dusting herself off. A Raging ghostly whale boomed through the area showing A Raging Captain Yox coming through the smoke of the previous explosion. With black bleeding cuts all over his body healing himself. He charged at the duo with his axe swinging in wide arcs. "Lets do this than." Legend says as They both dodge the raging undead behemoth. Captain Yox ran after Katsumi as legend pulls out a potion with clear shiny liquid in it pouring it on his weapon. Legend attack the back of the captain leaving three deep long slashes on its back. The wounds sizzle like bacon. The captain howls in pain turning around going after Legend now. Katsumi took the opportunity to take out her clear liquid potion as well. Pouring it all over her daggers. She instantly appeared behind the captain. attacking his back with both daggers digging deep in his skin. { Hit for -2,350 Critical Damage!} The giant screams in pain. it tries to shake Katsumi off as she does A flip off him smiling with a taunt. Legend uses that opportunity to Strike at the Giant with the one-handed sword skill. { Hit for -2,350 Critical Damage!, -2,000 Crippling damage!} Legend was going for the undead Giant''s head but it manage to react on time. Cutting off its arm instead as Katsumi was about to go for another attack. Captain Yox body exploded with Green unholy flames. His arm that was cut off was now nothing but a green flaming arm. It was his skill This skill makes the user 50% More Resistance to fire, increased armor by 500, and All attacks will do 500 more fire damage. Being pushed away by the sudden burst of power both Legend and Katsumi looked at each other. Than back at the Raging flaming undead behemoth Captain Yox. Who was charging straight at legend with incredible speed. Legend clashed against the undead Giant. With steel against steel. Legend was parrying the giants attacks but he was still getting pushed back. Katsumi used the , And skills along with the Assassin skill Is a unique skill only for the Assassin class that do six multiple slashes that crits stronger and stronger every successful hit. The captain felt the pain causing Katsumi to catch aggro making the captain turn towards her. Legend used The Samurai skill Is A unique skill for the samurai class That uses 50-100% of The user strength stat into one attack. { Hit for -5,000 Critical Damage!} The attack left a long slash sizzling on its back. The captain aggro now change to Legend as it looked furious. It used the skill Making green unholy flames come from its mouth. Legend dodges the attack. hiding behind a tree the attack stops. The captain Flaming axe carves down the tree heading straight for legend''s head. Legend rolled away from the attack but what was waiting for him at the roll spot was the captain as he swung the axe again. Legend reacted at a spilt second with a Parry making the attack miss by a few inches. Katsumi used The skill Hitting the captain in different places on its body making it Roar with frustration at the duo. Legend took the moment to roll back on his feet jumping back a few feet away from the Giant. The three was in a standoff in the forest. "Let''s do this Katsumi!!" Legend yells out running at the captain. "Right there with ya bro!" Katsumi yells back as the captain stood there with his axe held high glowing with Green intense unholy flames. The Duo Dashed at the Undead giant with amazing speed. Their weapons glowed white from the potion''s effects. Only A few feet away from the captain. The captain use his skill This AoE skill allows the user to pour all its unholy flame into one attack causing the user to lose all its mana and stamina points. The undead Giant slammed its Axe. Causing the ground to shatter like glass and a giant explosion of green flames destroys everything in site. The captain grunts with a smirk seeing everything being destroyed around him than laughed with victory over his enemies. That laugh came to a stop when it saw two figures burst through the black smoke of the aftermath one charging in front and behind him. The same ones that''s been giving him trouble he roared with a ghostly whale knowing his mana and stamina is empty from that last attack. Legend and Katsumi both survived the blast coming through the smoke with black stains and a few cuts on their characters. Yelling with a battle cry. Legend used the unique Samurai Skill . Is a Barrage of attacks in one move that hits everything in front of it like a cone. Katsumi used the dual Wielding skill along with < Deadly Strikes> They Attack both sides of the captain With Rapid attacks yelling at him with battle Crys. After a couple of moments, the attacks started to slow down Captain Yox body was covered in sizzling cuts his HP was at 20%. The Duo than stop their attacks going for their Execute skill. The Captain looked tired and scared with invisible sweat rolling down its face. The duo looked at him with battle maniac eyes smiling at him. They both Dash at him with incredible speed using their Class Execute skill. Katsumi used her assassin skill . While Legend used his Samurai Skill . Both attacks instantly kills the target below 20% of HP. Decapitating The captain. black blood exploded from the neck going everywhere. Both the Duo''s look at each other with panting breaths as they thumbs up each other smiling wide at defeating the captain. Their hp were at half till a golden light shine on them both filling their HP and leveling them up a few levels. "Thank god for the potions Q gave us or this fight would''ve turn out differently." Legends says as he wipe the sweat from his forehead along with a Katsumi who agreed with him as they both looked back at the Captain''s corpse that was looking like a balloon all of sudden. "Uh...I don''t think it supposed to do that when it dies." Katsumi says while backing up slowly. Legend noticed it as well They both dashed for cover. A second later a green spark lit up and a big explosion burst from the captain''s body like a nuke showing a skull shaped smoke in the sky above the Forest causing a miniature earthquake to shake the whole forest. In the distance The ghostly figure of Dutch Veil saw this and his Guards They felt the force of the explosion from where they were at. Dutch Veil Rage with a ghostly Whale and shot off like a rocket towards the area the explosion came from. Arriving at the battle where his Captain fought. Seeing everything being destroyed. Nothing was left not even a leaf. Than Dutch spotted Something white. He went straight towards it and picked it up he dusted it off showing the same helmet. The skull of a goat his Captain was wearing. "You Intruders Will not Leave this Place Alive Your Souls Shall be Mines!!!!" Dutch Veil yells out with intense Rage. Inside the cave [The Grotto]. Zero and the rest of the party was deep in the Cave when they felt the earthquake from the captain''s explosion. Some of the rocks on ceilings above them fell to the ground smashing into pieces. "That one was way bigger than the last few. whatever the hell is going on up there. Hope those two are okay." Gamebreaker says looking at Zero with worry. "Don''t Worry those two together is basically twins so whatever that undead behemoth throws at them. he''s getting twice the damage back." I say with an assured look. Everyone else in the party also agreed with my comment. After walking for what felt like 15-20 minutes of walking in this deep cave. We finally found where the guards we kept taking out was coming from. It was a huge chasm. With layers of levels that had prisoners in each cage along with weird looking magical Creatures. All the way at the bottom was the all black hooded undead that was with the Captain earlier. Standing in the middle of some sort of lab with one of the Gnomes from earlier strapped to the metal table in the middle. where he had all kinds of tubes and magical circles on the gnome. After seeing all of this the group huddle around each other and cooked up a plan. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. "Okay remember guys do not kill any of the guards let me handle that even if you might get caught leave it to me... so any questions??" I asked the group looking at each of them as they all shook their heads with a no "Okay let''s do this yo!" I say running off to my position that was on top of a cliff that let me view everything in the chasm. The others split into pairs Gear and Gamebreaker was going left of the chasm. While Fist, Ryu, and Quentin was to the right of the chasm. Gear snuck up on one of the guards in his Class stealth mode. Stealing a set of keys giving one to Gamebreaker. They slowly started to freeing some of the prisoners in the cages one by one after the guards walks away from the cages. on the other side the same thing was happening with Ryu group as well. The prisoners were silently thanking the group for their rescue as they run off in the direction of where we came from to leave the cave. One of the Guards on The left turned around to check On the prisoners again when he noticed. what was going on he was about to yell out to warn his comrades. An Arrow pierced right through his windpipe. His body dropped with a thud alerting the other guard with him. Than an arrow pierced the back of his head before he could even turn it. Gear and Gamebreaker hurrying to hide the bodies. The other side was the same situation as I snipe the guards there as well. The next few layers were the same situation in till the group bumped into a cage full of players. Freeing them They told the group about what''s been going on and how they were captured. Even ask the group could they join the party for revenge. I sent the group a message telling them. [Zero]: "These idiots will only slow us down.... especially something like revenge. they will only get in our way." Gamebreaker told the players that we can''t babysit them while trying to complete a quest here. So the players left and warn us about the strange experiments The hooded Undead was doing and they told us that he was A three star Elite boss and his name was and where we was at was his Laboratory. The group continued on going from layer to layer doing same thing over and over again till they made it to the bottom where the boss was at. Waiting for the group with a wicked smile along with three of his assistance''s that each looked like a Frankenstein monster. "Hehehehehe!!! I''ve been waiting on you pesky lot to try out my new experiments on." Slyvious says clapping his hands together. One of the walls started to open showing the same Gnomes from earlier but more ghoulish and mutated with extra limbs walking out of the entrance stumbling over as they all blew up with purple blood all over the area they fell at. "Huh? Well that didn''t go as plan hahahahaha!!!!" The mad magician laughs like a maniac. " Ew the fuck!?" Gamebreaker says out loud looking disgusted at the site of the mutated gnomes that blew up . "You damn Loon! your not getting away with that." Ryu yells out at the mad magician. Charging straight at him Ryu used the skill at the magician but two of the Assistance''s stood in the way as they glowed green both turning into giant abominations. Stopping the attack from reaching their master. one of the Assistant Smashed down towards Ryu with an Arm that had a large spiked ball as its fist. Ryu put up his shield to block the attack. He knew this was going to hurt him either way. Right before it landed Fist used his Monk skill. A kick That is a dash attack. That landed right into the joint of the Abomination Arm causing it to swing wide and falling forward. Quentin threw Two potions in its mouth blowing the Abomination head into pieces killing it. While running away. The other transform assistant bellowed in rage running after Quentin. Gamebreaker Shot both the legs of the abomination crippling it as it fell forward. Fist used the monk skill This is a charged skill, A powerful attack packed with chi. Smashing the Head of the last Abomination killing it. The mad magician who saw this snickered than clapped his hands again this time another wall opened up and what came out was a giant Chimera that made the ground trembled every time it moved Slyvious floated towards the beast standing on top of it. "You will pay for killing my most loyal servants!!! Do not think you Wil-" Before Slyvious could finish talking. An Arrow struck A magical force field where his head was at. He looked directly at Zero who was still at the same spot earlier. "How rude You little Shit!!!" Slyvious yells out as he Conjures up a large fireball launching at Zero blowing up the whole cliff Zero was at. "Now Where was I.....Oh Yeah! You will not esca-" Yet again the Mad Magician was cut off by a Loud Clang coming off his magical Shield. seeing that it was the same Guy he thought he blew to smithereens. Trying to attack his shield with his rusty little daggers. "You Rude Slippery Cockroach!!! kill him You overgrown mutt." Slyvious yells out as the Chimera Uses it Corba face like tail to Strike at Zero, but Zero saw that coming a mile away. pushing off from the magical shield around slyvous dodging the attack from the Chimera. With a graceful back flip landing a few feet away from the mad magician and his pet. Zero look at the two enemies before Him as his group arrived right beside him. He use Analyze on both the Chimera and slyvous. [Name: Mutt#4 ] [ Level: ???? 23] [ Health: 31,500/31,500] [Mana: 31,500/31,500] [Stamina: 38,000/38,000] [ Race: Chimera] [Name: Slyvious, The Mad Magician ] [ Level: ???? ?? 25] [ Health: 42,500/42,500] [Mana: 54,000/54,000] [Stamina: 42,500/42,500] [ Race: Undead Human male ] "Yeah, those guys weren''t playing about him being a Tier 3 boss." I say towards the group as we all stare up at the mad magician. "You Pesky scums have lived long enough it''s feeding time my children." Slyvious says while clapping his Hands together but this time it was only one clap but it echoed out the loudest than the last four he did with the Chimera and mutated gnomes. Three more hidden doors open from the walls of the chasm. Three Large hybrid looking creatures just as big or bigger than the Chimera comes out each of the doors. One of the Creatures Zoomed out of its Door like a bullet. Flying around the Chasm It had the body of a Spider with each of the eight legs sharp and pointy like a sword. The wings were like that of a dragonfly, The Head and eyes was that of a Fly. With its mouth having large mandibles like a Beetle. The second Creature Had the lower body of a Snake. It''s top half was that of an Giant with scale like skin and four arms, The head was that of a cyclops with one horn. The third creature had the head of a squid with the body of a horse, its four legs were that of an eagle, With a lizard tail. I shouted out to each of my friends "Gear and Ryu take care of Mutt four, Gamebreaker try to get that fucker in the sky down i will support you. Fist! think you can take on the One eye behemoth till i deal with airborne one?" I asked looking at him with a serious face. He cracked his neck and did a few stretches. "Hmph! you talking to me like that Zero?? you must forgot my Name let me easily demonstrate it." Fist says with a smirk as he dashed off going straight for the cyclops chimera. "Uh...And me?" Quentin says towards me. I looked at him and smile pointing at the Mad Magician. "You will figure out how to break that stupid shield of his." I say towards him as he looked at the magician than shows a wide grin and chuckles with a evil laugh and started rubbing his hands. "Time for some magic, woo!" Quentin says with excitement. After giving out the orders the brawl started. Me and Gamebreaker started attacking the flying chimera. Gamebreaker used one of the Handgun skills it changes the gun''s bullets into Explosive rounds. Each shot hit the chimera making it stop in midair. Enough time for me to release the I was holding Hitting it in the I saw killing it instantly. It fell from the sky crashing on the Chimera Fist was fighting. Fists use that opportunity to charge up Hitting The cyclops chimera dead in the eye killing it. The squid Head Chimera Charged at us next attacking us. We all dodge the stampede the squid chimera was doing. Gamebreaker Started shooting at it pegging its HP down. Me and fist used that opportunity to attack it. Fist used the monk skill An uppercut attack hitting the squid dead on knocking its head straight up towards me. I dove down from the sky with the dual wielding skill Decapitating its head killing it. Walking away from the squid chimera wiping its inky blood off myself. I looked at a tattered Fist who was bruised up and covered with both the chimera''s blood he helped kill. "Look like I did forgot who you were." I say chuckling at him and patting him on the back for a good job. "Yeah, lucky for us they weren''t that strong unlike Those two..." Gamebreaker says looking at the fight with the two elites that was going on. Gear and Ryu didn''t even manage to lower Mutt #4 health down that much only a little slither. The mad magician and Quentin were going at it as he was throwing potions at the magician while running from cover to cover dodging the attack Slyvious was throwing at him. trying to break the shield or figure out how. I looked at GB and Fist and nodded as the three of us join the fight. Fist and Gamebreaker went to help Ryu and Gear. I manage to arrive by Quentin he looked at me with crazy eyes and a smirk. "I think I figured out how to break that shield." Quentin says while we both dodge another attack from Slyvious and ran to another cover. "How?" I asked "Give me some arrows." Quentin says as I gave him some of the arrows I had in my quiver. He poured two different potions on my arrows. "Try these out it should work." Quentin says with confidence. I nodded with a serious look and knock an arrow while I waited for the barrage of spells Slyvious was throwing to stop. After a few moments the attacks stop. I instantly reacted and jump out of the cover we were in and shot the arrow in midair. Slyvious saw Arrow and chuckled "How many times do you have to shoot those pathetic arrows to know its usele-Ack!" Right before the mad magician could finish his last word. The arrow went straight through the shield like a knife cutting butter. Piercing through Slyvious throat out of the back of his neck he fell from sky landing in the middle of the chasm on his metal table with a loud thud! {Your Attack Has hit a for 46,300 Critical Damage!} "Damn bro! did you just literally one shot that boss!?" Quentin yells out with a shocked look. I shrugged at his comment than looked at the Dying boss Slyvious his hood was no longer covering his ghoulish looking face that was showing his jawbone, and half his brain with white pieces of hair on his head white solid pupils. He was choking on his own black blood. With his hand open and trembling trying to reach the ceiling. I looked up trying to see what he was doing but didn''t see anything Yet my Skill triggers. I yelled out to warn the group, but it was too late. The Mad Magician Balls up his reached-out hand and the Whole Chasm shook violently and the ceiling above us exploded. With it coming down on our heads Me and Quentin Dove for cover as I saw a large, spiked rock smashed the metal table where Slyvious was at Than everything blacked out. Couple of Minutes later in Slyvious Laboratory. There was nothing but debris everywhere. it doesn''t look like a nightmare laboratory anymore but an actual chasm with rubble everywhere. An Arm burst out of the rubble along with another one as one of the hands grab a hold of the rubble the person pull their self out Showing a dusted and battered up Quentin with his tattered attire. walking like he''s drunk. Shaking his head while holding it. "Ughhh damn man...if this game doesn''t get game of the year I''m going to sue the world." Quentin says looking around all confused than he saw an arm sticking out of the rubble. He pulled it, Pulling up the person. it was Zero who was still unconscious he slaps him multiple times. I woke up from the aggressive moving and shaking I felt. opening my eyes I felt a WHAM! right across my face as i tried to speak another WHAM! again. Then right when the next one tried to hit me, I stop his slap " Bro! I''m up damn!" I say looking at Quentin while rubbing my face. "Oh! shit...my bad dog you weren''t breathing." Quentin says as i let go of his arm. "I bet, Dick...anyway we the only ones that survived?" I ask Quentin who was about to say something but was cut off by a rockslide that showed Gear and Ryu who slowly walked towards us with their characters looking chew up by a dog. "Awe man thank god you guys are okay!" Ryu says as we all greeted each other happy to see we survived. "Where''s Fist and Gamebreaker?? wasn''t they helping you guys fight the elite Chimera." I asked both Gear and Ryu. Who looked at me with worry. "Yeah, they were but GB saved me from an attack and got hit instead and then the ceiling fell on us I don''t know if he made it or not." Gear says with a sad face. I sucked my teeth in than shook my head. Right when I was about to say something. One of the boulders were blown apart dust everywhere. Showing two figures walking out of the hole the boulder was covering. A wounded Gamebreaker who attire was ripped and blooded. Leaning on A fist who was covered in cuts and bruises his shirt and beads were gone only his pants and shoes was still on his character. They waved at us, and we all meet up and greeted each other. After A couple of minutes resting and healing with bandages and Potions. I Sighed and stood up the others looked at me with confusion. "Are you going to keep hiding there or are you going to show yourself?" I say while looking at a spot where towards our left. The rest of the group stood up on edge as well. "What is it zero? is there somebo-" Before Gear could finish talking A slim figure stood up beside the rubble zero was looking at. With stitches all over its body. Long white hair, Different color eyes, different shades of skin, wearing brown cloth rags like the Magician Assistants were wearing before they changed into those abominations. Everybody in the group except Zero ready their weapons. "I-I''m not going to attack you guys I was just hiding for my own safety." The Assistant says looking scared and holding his hands up. "Hmmm....so your the player that''s been working with that loony magician?" I say looking at him with piercing eyes as he back up slowly tripping over some of the rocks and falling over. Before The Assistant could even look up Zero was already in front of him. Invisible sweat rolls down the Assistant face. He nods at Zero''s question. Zero''s red eyes glowed at the Assistant as he uses on him. [Character Level: 17] [ Name: Iniko] [ Race: Hybird ] [ Karma: Neutral With a lot of trauma] [Class: Lvl.12 Magician (Rare)] [ Health: 8,500/8,500] [ Stamina: 8,500/8,500] [Mana: 16,250/16,250] Seeing this Zero''s eyes widen with surprise and then turn back normal instantly. ("He is A hybrid like a mixture of different races??? didn''t know you could choose such a race...wait... those stitching on his body and different shades of color on his skin. Jesus.... this guy must have gone through Hell for the system to recognize him as a hybrid.") I thought to myself Than turn around too looked at my friends. "It''s all good. He''s no trouble you guys can calm down he is that player the others was telling us about." I say with a reassuring look on my face. Everybody nodded at my comment and calmed down than walked towards us. Iniko Who was still on his ass sitting there with a surprising look. "Y-you guys aren''t going to attack me?" Iniko says with a dumbfounded look. I held my hand out to help him up. He looked at my hand for a couple of seconds than grabbed it. I pulled him up to his feet. The group arrived and greeted him. After a few moments of introducing ourselves and asking a few questions about this place. "So where to now Ryu?" I asked A Ryu who was pointing towards A Large steel door with a lock on it. Right beside The Dead Mutt#4 that was smashed by a Giant pile of rocks with only its upper body showing with its tongue hanging out its mouth Pool of blood leaking towards the door. "The is telling me to go that way." Ryu says as we all walked towards the giant steel door. I looked towards Iniko. "Is there a way for us to get through this door?" I ask him he nodded his head with a yes. Then Walked towards the locked metal Door and put his hands on it than mumble something in a whisper as the door shakes and unlocks to where the lock disappears. "Good job Iniko, thanks for opening the door. Lead the way Ryu." I say patting Iniko on the back who smiled a little with a nodding shy. Everyone also patted him as well with a thank you. Once walking through the Door after a few minutes of walking Ryu came to a stop shaking like it was a earthquake happening. He turned around pointing and screaming loudly at a giant spider that was the size of a dog or bigger. "¡ì-Spiderssssss DOGGGGG!!!!" Ryu yells out with fear. Chapter 8. Legendary Class Quest, Part.3 "AHHHHHHHH!!!! SHITTT!!!! Fucking damn SPIDERS OH HELL NAH DOGGGGG!!!" Ryu Screams out Loud ringing our ears from his booming voice. That Alerted A few more crawling towards us. We all prepared ourselves for a fight except a Ryu who was hiding behind Iniko Who was looking confused. The first spider pounced towards Gear. It was shot down by Gamebreaker killing it instantly. The rest started to attack as we fought back. After killing a few waves of spiders for the last couple of minutes we were all breathing heavy. At least 3 dozen of spider corpses lay through the tunnel we were traveling through. They finally stop popping up and attacking us as we arrive at a three-way fork in the tunnel we was in. We all stared at the three ways. "Ryu which way do the wants us to go?" I ask at a jumpy Ryu who was looking everywhere around him terrified. "Uh... it''s taking me forward still." Ryu says with A slight studder. "Forward?? You sure about that man. Cause usually when there''s a fork in the road no one ever goes straight." Gamebreaker says with a confused look. The party started to doubt it as well. "I''m with Gamebreaker here.... there is no way going forward is the right way." Quentin says "I mean rather or not it''s the right way or wrong way the is taking us straight so we go straight." I say look at each of them who was all worried and unsure about us taking the path forward. Except Iniko Who was oddly calm about the situation. I look towards him as he notices it and looked away with shyness. "Iniko, what do you think.... are you familiar with this place. Should we take the path forward?" I ask him with a serious look as everyone also looked at him waiting on his answer. "Uh...um ...A-Actually I personally haven''t been down here. But my master.... I mean Slyvious told me that Going anywhere but forward is a death trap. and Going forward is awaiting Execution." Iniko says the last part with a worried look. Everybody in the party shook their head with disappointment. "So going left or right is Death. Going Forward is waiting on Death....Thats just great we might as well just stay here and welcome death." Fist says while face palming and chuckling with sorrow. "Either way we are fucked...so might as well take our chances with the Pathfinder." I say while everyone slowly nodded with an unsure agreement. After resting and catching our breath for a few minutes we continued walking through the tunnel. Till the spider webs gotten so thick we had to burn and cut our way through it. Once we made it through the thick webs. We arrived at A Nest bigger than the chasm. We was Welcomed by an Army of spiders With a giant Arachne in the middle. Sitting On top of a mountain of white cracked skulls of different races and creatures. The Arachne upper body was that of an pale old woman with Bandages wrapped around her eyes. Grey long hair tied up in a bun. The Arachne was holding a black skull with a purple gem on its forehead. White glowing solid pupils. She had two Giant spiders That was all black skin, black solid pupils, With A White skull on their back. Standing guard beside her mountain of Death. They looked as big as Mutt#4 or bigger They was the biggest spiders we seen so far. "Ahhhh....So That Loon Slyvious Finally Meet his End." The Arachne says with a soft Erie voice that sounded like she was speaking directly in our ears. "And pure comedy... it was by lowly Mortals that team up with his protege...Hehe Hehe." The Arachne laughs holding her stomach. I used my Skill on the Arachne and her guards. [Name: Neith, The Fate Weaver] [ Level: ??] [ Health: ???/???] [Mana: ???/???] [Stamina: ???/???] [ Race: Arachne] [Name: Giant Arachnid ] [ Level: ???? ?? 25] [ Health: 50,000/50,000] [Stamina: 42,500/42,500] [ Race: Arachnid] [Name: Giant Arachnid] [ Level: ???? ?? 25] [ Health: 50,000/50,000] [Stamina: 42,500/42,500] [ Race: Arachnid] My eyes widen looking at the Arachne and her guard''s stats. I started chatting mentally in our party''s chat. [Zero]: "uh-oh guys we might have some trouble this time." [Ryu]: "Bruh! These things making my skin crawl...I might just logout." [Martial King]: "Ryu you really going to leave like that." [Ryu]: "Damn right bro.... I don''t play about no spider''s dog!" [Grim Lee]: "But her name tho.... It''s the same as the Egyptian goddess." [Gear]: "Yeah it is wow...must be why we can''t see her level." [Zero]: "she is A dungeon boss... we ain''t got time to think about her back story. We got to figure out how we can get out of here and get to the Dragon." "Tsk! Tsk...You mortals and you''re blabbering about that Overgrown lizard." Neith says with a frown. The party looked at each other. Then back at the Arachne with a surprised face. "What? You all thought that humans are the only ones with seer abilities." Neith says with a smirk. [Mykenai Azelas]: "Not this shit again." [Grim Lee]: "I Double That." [ Ryu]: "Yup! That''s a big No! for me guys...see ya." [Zero]: "Tony! we came this far might as well keep going there''s a Dragon waiting on you remember??" Ryu look at Zero and stop shaking in fear now. [Ryu]: "Lets kill this damn thing Dog!" Everyone in the party mentally face palm themselves. "Since you mortals dare show such disrespect Towards me and my children. I will save that Lizard the time he will waste on filth like you all by killing you here." Neith says with intense malice. The Party Ready their weapons. "So, it looked like she wasn''t going to let us go about our business." Fist says "I''m thinking we never had a choice to begin with!" Zero yells out. "Bring their heads to me!!!" Neith Commands her army of spiders to attack us along with her personal guards. The Fight started With Quentin throwing a Potion larger than the usual ones he been throwing. Landing right in the middle of the attacking spiders. Causing a large explosion shaking the whole cave even making the Arachne fall off her mountain of skulls. We all saw A huge crater a couple of feet away from us. nothing but ash like a miniature nuke just went off. Half of the spiders were gone in an instant. We all looked at Quentin with dropped jaws as Golden light glows on his character. Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there. "Bruh!!! You had something like that the whole time???" I say towards him as he nodded nonchalantly. "Yeah, I did but I only got 2 more of these and I''m out for good. took me them whole 2 days we were waiting on you to make only 3." Quentin says looking at us with a satisfying look from the levels he just got. "These changes things than." I say with a smirk. Both The Giant Arachnids Was charging at us Roaring with terrible loud screeching. "Okay guys let''s do this!" I Yelled out. The first Giant spider was about to use one of its legs to crush me I easily dodge it. Going for one of its legs to cut it off. Clang! My daggers bounced back off the giant spider''s leg. It caught me by surprise the spider''s legs were stronger than steel. I didn''t even leave a mark on the leg. Another Leg was coming at me I dodge that one as well with ease. Jumping away from the spider landing a few feet away. I looked at the multiple It was showing around its body especially its mouth. ("Looks like I got to try to hit the mouth. The leg is too sturdy.") I thought to myself Knocking an arrow to use my skill waiting for its mouth to open. I mentally sent the party a message in the group chat telling them The Giant Arachnids weakness. Now The Giant spider was charging at me once again. "GB! Use burst shots on its leg joints!" I yelled out as Gamebreaker nodded and used the handgun skill blowing The Giant Arachnid''s legs apart as it fell to one side like A tree. its mouth opened with a loud screech. I used that opportunity to release the skill. { Hit a for 50,100 Critical Damage!} The Giant Arachnid Head blew into pieces. {You Have Defeated 1x Giant Arachnid awarding 30,000 EXP!} A golden light shine off me Making me feel refresh. Along with GB having the same thing happened to him. The Arachne saw this and screamed with intense rage and sorrow in her voice. "You Mortals shall pay for coming HERE!! AND KILLING MY CHILDREN YOUR SOULS WILL FOREVER BE DAMNED and twisted in my WEBSSS!!!" "Now you done it." Gamebreaker says with a smirk. "Yeah, with your help partner." I say sarcastically in a cowboy like voice nodding. A loud screech ring out. Looking to my left seeing fist punching and kicking the other giant Arachnid breaking its legs apart. it fell to one side like A tree as well. Gear use that opportunity to throw a medium size bomb from his satchel. Into its mouth Blowing the head into pieces killing it. They rest of the party glowed with golden light making them feel refresh and pumped. Gear yells out "DING!" Along with the few of them doing cheers jumping with joy. Till the cheers was cut short by another wave of Spiders charging at the party. Another Explosion rocked the cave. This time Quentin used multiple potions turning this explosive into a sort of napalm strike wave of flames kept spreading turning the Army of spiders into Ash instantly. The Arachne Screeched at the site of her children being massacred. She finally took action multiple purple glowing orbs floated above her head. My Activated. "Everyone Dodge!" I yelled out The orbs were launched like bullets as we all were running and dodging her attack. While she was walking slowly down her mountain of Death. She stopped right in between her guards. touching them both as tears rolls down her cheeks. "My POOR! POOR! CHILDREN.... YOU TRAVELERS SHALL PAY!!!" she yells out This time Dark magical circles were formed under her body. A Giant Magical ball of Darkness Hovering over her head. She Throws the Black Skull inside of the dark ball. it Thumps like a heartbeat me and the party felt it Ryu was the first to mentally speak in the party chat. [Ryu]: "Umm.... Guys I''m getting a bad feeling that boss is about to become a lot more dangerous." [Martial King]: "Yeah a familiar scene like this always seem to make the villain gets a power boost lol." [Grim Lee]: "Zero can you use that op Weak Spot Skill, and one Shot her?" [Zero]: "That''s the thing it''s only highlighted for the skull and now it''s in that giant ball of Darkness. I doubt we could destroy it from the outside." [Iniko]: "Maybe going inside it we could destroy it." Everyone turned to look at Iniko with surprise. [Grim Lee]: "bro! That might just work." [Mykenai Azelas]: "The real question is...how are we going to get inside?" [Martial King]: "Yeah...how are we going to get inside what if it kills us." [Ryu]: "I mean somebody could always be the test dummy." Everyone looked at Quentin including Iniko. [Grim Lee]: " Wait why me.... Yo! your the new guy here...you can''t look at me like that." Quentin says in a rebellion-like voice. Everyone in the party lol and xD in the chat window. "God damn it!! just because I like to do the experiments doesn''t mean I wanted to be one." Quentin says with frustration stomping and pouting like a teenage girl. The party laughs at Quentin''s tamper. Even Iniko started to giggle a little as I notice it and smiled under my cloth face mask. ("Seems like he can smile...hopefully this will be the beginning of something good finally happening to him.") I thought to myself. I got everyone attention and formulated a few plans. While The Arachne was distracted by whatever spell she was trying to complete. "Everyone ready?" I say looking at the party with a serious look. They all nodded with confidence. We commence the battle with Gamebreaker pegging The Arachne with shots from his gun the bullets bounced right off her like they were rubber. still, she was continuing her spell. Iniko used the spell as he throws four of them from his hands hitting the Arachne right in the face. WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! This time the Arachne felt that and screech loudly at us. Still, she stood there not moving. Holding her hands up directly under the dark ball. It started to get bigger and bigger every second. Fist and Quentin Arrived on the other side of the dark ball. While the party was attacking the Arachne trying to keep her attention. "You ready for this bro?" Fist asked a Quentin who was preparing a couple of potions "Okay yeah I''m ready now...but don''t you DARE! put those gorilla fingers on my potions." Quentin says with a sort of twitching eye warning. "Yeah, Yeah Doctor. Experiment" Fist chuckles Than grabbed Quentin by his lab coat and swung him up towards the dark ball with all his might. Quentin flew like he was a football. Going right towards the dark ball. The Arachne happened to look exactly towards a flying Quentin and screech at him Quentin went straight through the dark ball. He started to hold his breath and slowly moved towards the skull with a goofy swimming motion. He pulled out his potions trying to throw them all at the skull they slowly flew up instead of going straight. He types in the party chat telling them what''s happening. "Iniko think you could throw one of your spells into the ball?" I ask him he instantly shake his head with a No. "From what I can tell... it''s Seems like a nullification barrier a powerful one at that. I don''t think we could do much but watch whatever suppose to happen...well Happens." Iniko says in a calm voice. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Seems like that old fool taught you well child.... but its too late for you travelers to stop anything." Neith says with an amused voice. The Darkness in the ball begin to form hands inside. slowly moving towards Quentin. Quentin tried to swim away quickly but one of the arms manage to grab him. He yells out in a panic than was tossed out of the ball with tremendous force. I reacted quickly jumping up to catch his fall out of the Air. Landing next to fist carrying Quentin princess style I looked down at him as he looked up at me winking with a blush. "My hero...." Quentin says as I dropped him on his ass. "Jesus careful that body part of mines is very fra-" Quentin was about to finish talking till he was cut off by the Dark Ball that was big enough to cover the Arachne''s whole body. Then it changes shape and size shirking down into a dark web like cocoon. We all stared at the phenomenon in front of us. "Well...looks like we going to have to go with Plan F." Gamebreaker says with a sigh. "Yup...Guys be ready for anything. There still might be more of her children left." I say with caution in my voice. After a couple of seconds, the cocoon begun to crack with white lights coming out of it. Bursting with White blinding light. The Area dimmed down and what we saw dropped everyone jaws. The Arachne was now a lot smaller about 5"6 in height. With Her skin becoming young again no wrinkles. Her face Was now covered with the same Black skull she was holding as a mask. She had a White colored web like bra for her top. White colored web like cloth covering her private areas Along with a curvy body. Eight long black Shadowy like Limbs with the sharp ends like A Scythe coming out of her back. She touches her soft looking purple-colored lips while using her arms as rest spot for her breast. Her Hair Changed to pure white like Snow hanging down all the way to her butt. She slowly descended from floating in the air landing softly a few feet away from the party. She smiled with a seductive light chuckle looking straight at us. "Oh, How long has it been since I have taken this form...5....no Maybe 10 thousand years." Neith says out loud. "You travelers...Have been foretold to come here and meet that Lizard...but just like puppets with strings your Destiny and fate is nothing but strings to me.... like my webs I will manipulate you all to benefit Me and my Goals!" Neith says with confidence and amusement under that smirk she just gave to the party. Ryu Spoke mentally in the party chat. [Ryu]: "She Fine as Fuck Dog" Everyone looks towards Ryu with a blank face. [Martial King]: "Ryu...Bruh weren''t you just afraid of her not too long ago lol xD" [Ryu]: "Yeah...till she became a Kumoko Bae! ??" [Zero]: "Hentai!" Right before anyone else could type something. A Heavy pressure hit the party all were forced to kneel. "You Mortals Dare!!! to speak in my presence like I''m some statue. I shall kill and slowly absorbed. each and every one of your mortal essences starting with YOU!" She yells out and use some type of telekinesis on Quentin''s character. Bringing him directly into her Grab as She held him with one hand in the air crushing his windpipe slowly. Then she opened her mouth absorbing greenish looking energy that was coming out of his mouth. Making him look pale and Skinner each second it was happening. All of a sudden Neith Dropped Quentin as she started to shake in fear as a Chilling cold Shiver hits her whole body she hurried up and jumped backwards distant herself from where she was at by a couple of yards. ("What was that!? Did He come here to take my soul yet again...") Neith Thought to herself as she looked around all nervous till she saw Zero Figure who was still standing for some reason looking at her with his red piercing Eyes Releasing a powerful That her instincts told her to run away from the mortal. ("How can such a mortal have killing intent that could match Death itself!") Neith Thought to herself looking directly at Zero. "Who are you mortal?" Neith ask Zero "Zero." He says in a cold voice. Neith than tried to look at his Fate but was instantly denied and was showed nothing as it shocked her invisible sweat rolled down her face. "Are you a Seer?" Neith asked Zero who reply back with a shake of his head as a "No" That surprised her even more. "How can this be??? There is no being I ever meet that I couldn''t see their fate even most Gods couldn''t hide from my Weaving." She says towards a zero who was on Edge. "You tell me Web Weaver." Zero says looking directly at her not taking his eyes off her. She got irritated by His words than relaxed a little. "Hmph! Whatever mysterious power is at work with your Destiny, it will not stop me from killing all of you here Die!!!" Neith Yells out disappearing from the spot she was standing at. Zero Instantly reacted to the attack jumping backwards as three of her dark scythes like Limbs slams down where he was just at. Neith followed up with a strike from her sharp black colored claws. Zero used his rusty daggers to parry the attack as she wasn''t bounced back but instead Just stood there as her strength was a lot stronger than Zero''s. Zero went for a normal strike she blocked it with her claws as they both exchange rapid attacks against each other. While dashing and jumping at each other clashing with Loud Clang noises that echoes out in the Arachne''s nest. The rest of the party was slowly getting back up as the Heavy pressure lifted up from their characters as they all watched in amazement looking at the fight that was going on. "Bro is this an Anime fight I''m watching or am I still inside the game??" Fist says looking at Zero and Neith going at it. "I think it might be both" Gamebreaker says [Zero]: "You guys going to help me or do I got to take all the credit on this boss fight??" [Grim Lee]: "It looks like you got it from here to me" [Martial King]: "I second that xD" [Zero]: "...?? You Guys suck. I need new party Members!" [Ryu]: "If we could get Kumoko bae here as a companion I''m inclined to help." [Mykenai Azelas]: "Tony Dude! You got some serious problems Man..." Neith used a skill called Making her turn into a miniature tornado of Darkness. Heading straight at Zero. Zero used a similar Dual wielding Skill called Turning him into a miniature tornado of blades an AoE that hits everything in its path. Their skills clash turning the scene into a blur of colors clashing everywhere around the nest like flashing lights at night. The skills finally broke apart from each other. leaving both Neith and Zero staring at each other a few feet away. ("How can this brat be so Nimble!!! I''m having a hard time keeping up with his movements but yet....He dodges all my attacks like it was in slow motion I better end him now or it will be a problem.") Neith Thought to herself. Zero looked at the Arachne in front of him she yet again rushed at him but this time he could tell she is getting serious. Right when she appeared in front of Zero to attack. Fist Skill was about to hit Neith she managed to dodge it. Iniko''s skill was launched at Nieth as well she dodge that attack as well jumping backwards to avoid the ice''s entrapment. Following up Iniko used a fireball spell coming straight at Neith. She sliced it apart with one of her scythe limbs with ease. Coming from behind The Fireball Gear appeared with a medium size bomb throwing it at Neith''s face. Gamebreaker Shot The bomb it explodes Showing a Neith coming out of the black smoke with her Shadowy limbs wrapped around her body. She unwrapped her limbs from her body landing softly a few feet away from the party. "You annoying pest...should know your place and become my food!" Neith Yells out Instantly appearing behind Gear who tried to react but was too slow. Gamebreaker Pushed Gear out of the way he was about to shoot a few shots but was too late as One of Neith''s Scythe like Shadowy limbs cut off the arm that was holding his gun. Gamebreaker Screams in Pain from his severed Arm. Neith slash out with one of her claws to decapitate Gamebreaker character and finish him off. Ryu used his Rush attack skill . To stop the attack Neith attack smack the shield Putting a dent in his Shield Launching him from the ground into Gamebreaker They both Was knocked back a few yards away from the party. Me and Fist instantly reacted pressing The Arachne with our combined attacks. While Quentin Threw a Red medium size potion at Gamebreaker and Ryu Red mist floated around them as it started Healing them. Gear joins the fight again along with Iniko Using range Spells to stop The Arachne from moving the way she want. "Enough!!!" Neith yells out as A Large Wave of Force blew everyone that was attacking her back a few feet. Another Heavy Pressure of gravity hit the party this even more heavy than the last. This time everyone was on all fours except Zero yet again. "Why won''t YOU BEND BOYYY!!!" Neith Yells out. "Because I''m not your slave to control you, Hag!" I say with a cocky attitude towards The Arachne. She screeched out with pure Rage Dashing towards Zero with Heavy Killing Intent. Zero also Dash meeting her head on Right before they were about to clash Neith claws Glowed purple. One of Zero Daggers clashed against the Glowing claw as it slashed the dagger in half like Knife cutting through butter. Showing the rusted Dagger melting Zero Instantly dropped the dagger with a surprised look. Neith saw this opportunity and followed up with another attack smirking at Zero. "Die Mortal!!!" Neith says as Zero Tries to dodge the attack Everything was in slow motion. A Figure with a straw hat in an all-White kimono with burnt marks and tatters appeared right beside the two fighting. Slashing out his Katana cutting off the Scythe like Shadowy Limb that was about to stab Zero the Arachne Screeched in pain from the severed Limb. Zero knew Exactly who this person was He looked at him with a smirk. "Took ya time huh fool?" I say towards A Legend who was now standing in front of me with a smile on his face look over his shoulders at me. Chapter 9. Legendary Class Quest, Final "Zero bro You need some better Gear man!" Legend says with a smirk while Neith was Screeching in pain from the attack Legend did. Looking at her Severed Limb That was sizzling like bacon from the cut. Another Figure appeared behind Neith going for a backstab attack. Neith used her other back limbs to block the attack. It was Katsumi who was slashing down with both her daggers cutting off one of the limbs that was blocking the attacking. Neith Screeched even louder jumping backwards a few yards away from the party. Katsumi kicked the Arachne''s limbs than looked directly at me. "You''re such a scrub Zero...making us come save your sorry ass." Katsumi spoke with a smirked look. "Yeah Yeah...give me some of your daggers fool." I say towards her with a commanding voice. "Your lucky I didn''t sell my old pairs back in town or you would''ve been screwed." Katsumi says with a sigh handing over her old pair of daggers to Zero. [You Have Equipped 2x White Steel Daggers!] I analyzed one of The Daggers. [Item Name]: White Steel Dagger [Item Rating]: uncommon [Level Requirement]: 10 [Attack Power]: 300 {+50 Dexterity} [Durability]: 100/100 I was actually surprised by how much damage it could do and the stats that came with it as I nodded with satisfaction at the weapons. "You travelers are like Roaches...but it doesn''t matter how many there are Your Fate will be mines To Weave!!!" Neith Yells out as she rushed at the party once again. Legend, Katsumi And Fist were taking Neith on exchanging attacks with the powerful boss. She was pushing all three back with her fast attacks and movements. While I noticed how her Limbs weren''t growing back from the attacks just now from Legend and Katsumi''s Weapons. They weapons are more glowing white than ordinary steel. ("Did they apply some type of Enhancement to their weapons??") I thought to myself than sent a message to the party chat asking them. [Zero]: "Yo Legend and Katsumi. What is that on your weapons??" [Legendary Swordsman]: "It''s the Holy water Q gave to us Why what''s up?" [Zero]: "Yo Quentin do you still have some more?? I think we can possibly beat this boss by coating all our weapons with it." [Grim Lee]: "Yeah I should have a few left." [Zero]: "Okay cool Iniko, Katsumi, Legend and Fist. Keep the boss busy a little longer While Quentin supply the rest of us with holy water on our weapons." Everyone in the party agreed to the plan as Quentin went around pouring the Holy water enchantment on our weapons. Neith started using her Fate controlling skill called to control Katsumi to attack Legend and Fist to attack Iniko. She went straight after Quentin yet again. Dashing at full speed towards him I intercepted her using the Skill this time there was a big difference instead of me being pushed back I pushed her back surprising her. putting her on the defensive with my fast attacks managed to leave a couple of lasting cuts this time. She screeched with agony and frustration from the burns the holy water enchantment was doing to her. We exchanged attacks but mines were the only ones that was landing successfully. she couldn''t keep up at all. she decided to retreat and go for long range attacks using a skill called . She started releasing waves of purple energy from her scythe limbs. Dodging them with ease as they passed me Going for Quentin and A gamebreaker who wasn''t all the way healed yet. Ryu stepped in protecting the two with the shield skill . The attacks slam directly on him as he was fine, but his shield was melted from the corrosive in the attack Ryu hurried and dropped his shield. I started rushing her. she kept trying to use the soul harvest attack. I easily kept dodging them I look at gear Who was running towards Neith at the back. Gear used the dagger skill Neith saw the attack coming a mile away dodging the attack by jumping over gear head and webbing him up in a net all in a matter of seconds while she was still trying to land from the jump. She then threw him towards me like a sling shot I dodge it. Then saw her attach behind the Webb she pounced off it to attack me with the same claw attack that melted my old Dagger. I met her Head on with the Dual wielding Skill This time it was my weapon that went through slicing off the claws and the whole hand as well. it dropped on the ground with a sizzling noise. Neith Screeched in Pain. She retreated backwards couple of yards away sweating and breathing hard. "You MORTALS and YOUR DIRTY TRICKSSS!!!" Neith Yells out "Dirty!!?? You''re the one living underground Lady!" Fist says walking up right beside me along with the rest of the party including Gamebreaker who arm was now back on. "Damn Grim that must be some real miracle Whip right there!" I say with a light chuckle looking at Gamebreaker Attached arm. "Yeah man These Regeneration potions. is no joke bro... but him being a vampire made it easier Tho." Quentin says. "Yeah dude I owe ya big time for this." Gamebreaker says nodding towards Quentin with a fanged smile. "You all know what we got to do. let''s show this Pale Hag what we all about!" I yelled out and rush the Arachne with the rest of the Party Doing battle cries running alongside me. "FOOLISH MORTALS DIE HERE AND BECOME MY SLAVES FOR ETERNITY!!!" Neith Yells out meeting the party head on with eight Dark energy balls the size of bowling balls floating around her. The Fight was intense as the dark balls was flying every where. The party was dodging them along with Iniko and Gamebreaker doing long range attacks to destroy them. The rest of the party was attacking Neith with close range attacks. Neith was dodging attacks and attacking back managing to hit Ryu first knocking him out of the fight. Gear and Katsumi was going for back attacks but the 4 remaining limbs was giving them trouble. One of the limbs closed line Gear and making Katsumi trip over him. Neith capitalize on the opening going for a lethal attack on Katsumi. Fist Blocked the attack with his Hard body. The attack was still too strong sending him out of the fight he slammed hard into a pile of skulls. Legend and Zero was attacking the front of Neith Legend being the Heavy hitter while Zero Was going for quick attacks. Neith used a Few of her Dark Balls to throw the duo off. Two of the balls collided in front of them making a huge explosion happen. This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Black smoke clouded the area. A few seconds later Neith saw Legend through the smoke who was on one knee breathing hard with his sword in the ground all in tatters and bruises struggling to get up. Neith smiled at that Than chuckle for A few seconds. Till she Saw Piercing Red Eyes through the Smoke. Making Her legs tremble a little. This made it to where A Sharp object almost hit her dead in the forehead if she didn''t move an inch away with it leaving a cut on her cheek. Katsumi figure flew up behind Neith Doing a flip kick Hitting the dagger right back at her. She dodges that one as well by an inch. Zero Appeared out of the Smoke and threw the dagger again she dodges by an inch cutting her on the neck this time. Katsumi Grabbed the dagger again throwing it back at Neith but this time Katsumi added two more daggers. Neith kept dodging the throwing Attacks, but it was getting faster and faster. It was like Katsumi and Zero was playing High Speed Tennis but with Daggers and Neith was in the middle of it. "ENOUGH!!!" Neith Yells out as all the Dark Balls came back to her and merged around her body making her glow with Purple & Dark Energy bursting out of her with tremendous force. Zero and Katsumi was Blown back a few feet. Unfortunately for Katsumi She hit a pillar of Stone And was knocked out of the Fight. While Zero Landed on his back while flipping over to slide on his feet. Zero was in a kneeling position looking at a Neith who was Breathing heavy With Hundreds of sizzling cuts all over her body. Zero Pulled out his bow and shot an arrow Neith dodge the arrow with no effort. "Heh! You think cause I''m like this I''m not fast enough to dodge your pathetic arrow mortal!" Neith says with a smirk. Zero looked at her with a smirk back saying in a cool voice "that wasn''t for you." Neith Senses went off with danger to move but it was to late...The same medium size Potion Quentin threw earlier killing all her children was Planted in the ground a few feet behind Neith getting hit by zero''s arrow breaking it. The explosion went off just like before. Shaking the whole nest...the smoke blew everywhere even some rubble coming from the ceiling of the nest. The Smoke finally cleared few moments later showing a Neith standing in the middle of a large crater coughing out black blood. She was missing all her back limbs but one. She was only standing on one leg Wobbling trying hard to stay standing. The Skull mask was cracked a little. Her wounds was slowly healing back up. "YOU...Think That can kill me.... I survived WORSE!!!" Neith yells with a wheezing sounding voice. A crack started to form under her feet. She looked around with panic. "Noooooo!!!! I will not be defeated by you Damn MORTALS!!! I will bring one of you with me even if bring I The whole nest down with me!!!" Neith Yells out with anger. The Bottom was collapsing in She spit out Dark colored web towards Quentin. I Yell out to warn him throwing my old Dagger right at the web. With my Skill . It Hit the web but got stuck right in the webs. Gamebreaker started shooting it with his Skill but the webs kept coming towards him. Quentin tried to run away from it but it wasn''t enough room to go anywhere cause of the collapsing floor. Iniko used multiple spells the Webs kept going ignoring the Flames trying to melt it. Iniko Decided to push Quentin out of the way at the last minute. The flaming webs wrapped around Iniko''s character pulling him down along with The Arachne who was Smirking as the Ceiling came crashing on top of Neith. I yelled out trying to jump for Iniko, but Fist stop me. I saw Iniko''s smiling face as everything went silent showing Him slowly falling into the abyss With Neith. I read his lips as he was falling saying "Till we meet again, My Friend." His body vanish into the abyss along with The Arachne. Showing His Symbol in the party Grey out and the system saying He left our Party. "Damn it!" I yelled out smashing my fist into the ground crushing the ground with a crack. "Who the fuck was that!?" Legend asks with confusion on his face walking up behind me with his character all in tatters and brunt marks on his kimono. The upper part was ripped showing bare skin on his right side. I sigh and explain to both Katsumi and Legend how we meet Iniko. After A few moments of explaining Our new/Fallen teammate Iniko. "Wow...so if he is a player he should''ve spawn outside the cave...so what are you getting so worked up about?" Katsumi asks. "Well, that''s because I forgot to add him as a friend." I say shaking my head with disappointment. "OHhh....Now that make sense now." Katsumi says. We all stared at the hole and seeing a never-ending Deep Hole. Then A Heavy current of Air pushed upward towards the ceiling from the hole. "Where to now Tony?" I ask A Ryu who was looking up towards the ceiling pointing. "The Is taking me up dog." Ryu says we all looked up seeing a small hole in the ceiling. "How are we supposed to get up there??" Gear asked looking confused Along with the rest of the group. "Only one way.... I can see." Quentin says with a sly grin. "I don''t like the sound of that." I say towards him. "Watch and Learn." Quentin says while walking towards one of the Arachne Limbs Throwing it into the large hole in front of us as the limb Shot right up towards the ceiling like a Rocket. "Physics my brothers!" Quentin says looking prideful at what he just discovered. "Well okay see you boys at the Top." I say nonchalantly Running Headfirst into the Hole as it shot me up towards the ceiling The Hole that was up here got bigger and bigger as I got closer and manage to make my way in it. Landing safely in some sort of tunnel like the one at the beginning of the cave entrance. Seeing no threat, I message the rest of the party to come up. One by one they did. Ryu and Quentin were the last ones to come up Ryu was straight up armor less Wearing the default outfit from the tutorial. His character looked somewhat Asian with black short spike hair Looking like a typical main anime character. I ask him what happen to his armor he looked towards Quentin than me. "Physics Bro..." He says with a dead pan face. I chuckle a little under my breath. While he passes by me to lead the way with Pathfinder. We all walked for A few minutes or so We finally Arrived at some Large Stairs leading upward Towards Two Giant Doors with a unique design of different Dragons carved into the doors. "These Doors look like only Giants can open them." Gamebreaker pointed out. "Ya think Captain obvious." Katsumi says rolling her eyes with a sigh. Gamebreaker was about to reply back to her comment, but I interrupted Him. "So, Tony Since this is Your Quest now What?" I ask Him as he stepped forward putting his Hand on the Door. It Glowed Golden as the area around us started to shake. A Loud Dragon''s Roar Could be heard. The Golden giant Doors Opened with Blinding Sunlight. We all walked forward into the Light. Coming into View we Saw exactly what The Seer showed us. A Large Gigantic Red Dragon Wrapped Around A large stone Boulder with A sword stuck in the middle of it. "After What felt Like Eternity....You Finally Arrived My chosen." A Booming Voice came from the dragon as it opens its Golden glowing Eyes Looking directly at us. The Dragon begins to move from his spot. The whole area was trembling like an earthquake just from him moving He walked towards us. We all except Ryu started to ready our weapons. The Dragon got closer and closer till it stood right in front of us as it smiled towards us. "Worry not there shall be no harm towards my Heir and thou friends." The Ancient Dragon says as we all relaxed a little. "Your battles have all been won for today...know that your triumph over the old Guard, That Disgusting insect. and the mentally ill Magician. Have Not gone unnoticed." The Ancient Dragon says with pride in his voice. "If you all would have done things differently this conversation would not have gone like this." The Ancient Dragon says closing his Eyes than re opening them looking directly at me. "Out of all the creatures and powerful beings I came across you are the first to Have such a Powerful soul...its nothing I have ever Witnessed in my lifetime. Your soul is Like a Universe With endless Potential." The Ancient Dragon says towards me I looked up at The Ancient Dragon and asked "What do you mean by that? and How can you see my soul??" After asking. The Dragon looked at me than Laughs pretty loud while me and the party covers our ears. "Us Dragons are one with life itself we can see many things about any living creatures in this world. I am sorry Young one but even I Ancient as I am do not know What to say about your Soul." The Ancient Dragon says with a disappointing look Than looked over the party once again with his golden glowing eyes Than proceeded to lift one of its paw. The Ancient Dragon pointed towards the party as Red and black Colored Dragon weapons Appearing in each of The party members hands Except Ryu who was Oddly Quiet. All Were Weapons of their preference. Mines was A Bow I analyzed it. [Item Name]: Great Dragon Bow [Item Tier]: Epic [Item Type]: Bow [Level Requirement]: 30 [Attack Power]: 5,900 {+160 Dexterity, +160 Agility, +160 Endurance} [Durability]: 100/100 My eyes almost popped out of my head. Looking at the weapon stats. I saw the look on everyone Face that was looking the same as well. "Now for you My Chosen come to me and fulfill your Destiny!" The Ancient Dragon says towards Ryu who was just standing there in a Daze. After A few moments of waiting for Ryu to respond the ancient dragon repeats itself once again and than a third time in till I step in and told the dragon. "Sorry but ummm Ryu isn''t really here at the moment his brain just melted from seeing you sooo...you going to have to give him a few minutes to cool down." I say towards the dragon trying to hide laughter. The Dragon understood and waited as we all looked at our new weapons and I noticed that all of us was higher than level 25 now. "AAHHH!!!! Shit DOG!!! a fucking dragon I CANT BELIEVE THERE''S A FUC-" Ryu was about to finish in till Legend interrupted him with a smack back of the Head. "Now Come to me My Chosen." The Anicent Dragon says towards Ryu who nodded his head and jog towards the dragon happily. Right When Ryu Got into range A golden Bubble surrounded him and the Dragon. After A couple of moments that both of them was talking in the bubble. The Dragon glowed Golden and a Beam of golden energy shot from the dragon chest into Ryu''s chest. Ryu lifted off the ground Glowing fully Golden. The Dragon whole body became that Golden energy as the Light got so bright that we all had to shut our eyes. A pillar of Golden light was coming out of the mountain Where The party was at. Showing a giant golden Dragon in the sky of the Continent Every player and NPC all saw the golden Dragon in the sky and pointing in awe at the sight of it. A World Wide System message popped up in every player screen. [World Wide System Announcement! Congratulations To Player [Ryu]! For Being The First Player in the World of [Euphoria] To complete A Legendary Class Quest and Unlocking the Legendary Class [Dragon Knight]! The Unique Title Will be given to Him Along with 100k Gold For being the first legendary class player!] Everything came back to Normal vision. Surprised to see we was out of The Forest of Dutch Veil. Right here at the Entrance of it I looked at everyone else who was just getting back adjusted to their vision. Than I saw A Ryu Who Looked taller for some reason along with a missing Shirt but still had on the same pants but much tighter on his character. Long spiky black colored Hair that was blowing with the wind. "Uh Tony is that you bruh?" I say cautiously He turned around looking at me His eyes was the same as the Anicent Dragon glowing Golden his face was more handsome and his body was more tone than a Greek statue as I got a good look at him he was standing at least over 7ft tall. "I AM THE DRAGOOOOONNNN!!!!" Ryu Shouted out as the rest of the party that was dropped jaw about his amazing transformation was now dead pan faced. "Put on a fucking Shirt damn moron." Legend yells at him as Ryu face dropped to a sad puppy look. Fist came over towards Ryu with a slap on the back. "Hey look at the system messages at least your Rich now Ryu maybe I might let you win at smash for some Gold now" Fist says with a light chuckle. We all Saw the message and got instantly excited for Ryu and congratulate him. "So Where should we celebrate at guys??" Gear ask as everyone stood around and thought for a second Than it hit me. "I know exactly the place." I smirked After A couple of hours traveling back to Asuka and testing out Ryu''s legendary class on the way. We finally Arrived at our Destination . We Enter the Bar and Celebrate Ryu accomplishment in till the next in game morning. With me Waking up From The bar and falling out of the chair with a thud! "Ow!" I say getting back to my feet shaking my head than thought about the fact that I got so wasted in game my character passed out like you would normally in RL once you had a little too many. I looked around the Bar seeing that only a few people were still here but I didn''t see none of my party members as I looked at the party chat window showing that everyone left. saying their goodbyes and left doing their own thing this morning. "if your Looking for your friends from last night they all ready left pal." Some random stranger says that was still sitting at the bar with his dark green hood over his head. "Yeah I notice Thanks for telling me." I got up from my chair and started walking away heading for the exit. "Aren''t You forgetting something ....Zero?" The hooded stranger ask. I instantly turned around looking at him with a serious look I analyzed the stranger. [Name: Leo, The Drunken Woodsman] [ Level : ?????????? 50] [ Health: 162,000/162,000] [Mana: 150,000/150,000] [Stamina: 261,000/261,000] [ Race: Half-Elf Male] Leo Stood up lowering his hood it shocked me to the core that I almost passed out. This stranger Looked exactly like The actor Keanu Reeves but with pointy elf ears. Wearing Light Brown full Leather Gear under the Dark Green cloak. "What''s The matter kid? Look like you just seen a Ghost...Did you forget our bet last Night? The first to pass out was going to be the other Slave for one day." Leo Smirked With a cocky look as I Facepalm myself and scream mentally in my mind. ("HOLY KEANU REEVEESSSS!!!!!")

The day has Finally come.... it''s a beginning of A New Era and that new Era is "Your Fantasy" Ladies and gentlemen!" He says with a nod of approval as the chat Roars with Emotes and big words.

Here I Go. time to be A warrior King!" Apollo yells out as he launched the game. [ Welcome to The World of Euphoria Traveler!] [Please Choose Your Starting Race.] Apollo Saw all the different Races this game had to offer. He instantly chooses the Human Race Making his Character look exactly like himself in RL but with muscles like a body builder. "Now this Guy looks like a King Dood!" Apollo say towards the chat who was going crazy. After naming his character and the system congratulate him. He was teleported to the tutorial Zone. Apollo appears in the tunnel like many others as The Guide floats around him and introduced itself. "Oh, wow look at this glowing little shit!" Apollo says with amazement as the chat goes crazy with laughter. "OH! this the guide?? Well, where do I go from here little guy?" Apollo asked the guide as it tells him to keep walking forward. Apollo moved forward following the tunnel out he arrived at the arena. "Whoa guys looks like I''m in some sort of Arena am I going to fight something guide?" Apollo ask the guide as it floated towards the other side where there was tables and racks of different type of armors and weapons. [Choose your Weapons and Armor] Apollo walked over towards the weapon & armor racks and tables looking at them with a nod of acknowledgment. "These Don''t look too bad.... but I''m going with that heavy iron armor and two-handed sword here boys!" He says Excitedly equipping the items. After that a whole list of notifications pop up on his screen. He looked through them quickly than closed out all the notifications. "Adventurer class.... weak!!! But these skills for the two-handed weapon mastery is bad ass Bruh!" Apollo says with a wide grin and jumpy eyebrows with His chat going crazy. "Okay Guide what now?" Apollo says the guide floats in front of him. [Now we shall begin Your Reaction and agility test!] The Reaction and agility course spawn in front of him the guide told him to start whenever he wants. Apollo started stretching and cracked his neck doing some light jumps. "Let''s do these boys!!!" He yells out running towards the Course. Right before he got to the first platform. He couldn''t stop himself to slow down to jump. He trips over his own feet and fell right in the Gap between the platforms respawning instantly right back where he started as he looks around confused. His chat started laughing and going crazy. Apollo ran the course 5 more times Showing different funny situations of him failing the course and gave up telling the guide he''s ready to move on. "Who needs some pussy ass quickness when you can have all the Big Dick Damage!!! am I right boys!?" The chat started agreeing with him like a bunch of fanboys. The combat course went a lot better with him easily beating all the training dummies while yelling out "Big Dick Damage!!! This is way too easy dood!" Apollo yells out every time he killed a dummy. Then Apollo tried hardest difficulty but ended up Getting defeated more than 10 times by the first Training Dummy and he gave up and move on to the next course The Survey Course. Apollo Arrived in an All-white Room Where a God like voice was heard. [Welcome, Player Platinum Apollo Unlike the Previous Course you have taken before This will be a non-physical one but A Verbal one.] This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. "You Hear That Boys??? The Literal God of Talking Apollo will be taking A Verbal course!"

[Confirming....Evaluation results....] [Congratulations Player Platinum Apollo You Have Earned A Legendary Class Quest!] When Apollo Saw That his Eyes Widen with surprise He couldn''t believe as He jump for joy and hold his face while walking Around in a circle. His Chat was Going insane Everyone who was watching was Sending links to every channel on twitch. The News spread like Wildfire on every social media platform. Apollo finally calmed down and breath in Than look directly into the Screen with a serious look. "You see that dood.... There it is Boys! A FUCKING LEGENDARY CLASS QUEST!!!" Apollo yells out with pride and excitement in his voice. He Looked towards his chat screen and reads it. "Right Your Right...just imagine if I got on launch day but Nevertheless. Some of you guys who is already A month ahead in game I''m coming for You at full speed!" He says with a smirk "No, it''s okay...so what if I''m the second Legendary Class Player I will be that any day than not having one." After A few Minutes of talking with his chat Apollo Finally Ended his tutorial and Picked the Western Continent to spawn on. Once He Arrived Western Continent He was in some forest with a bunch of magical creatures. Seeing no roads or hint of where he was. He traveled till he finds a node. After Two or Three days in game hiking in a dense forest of Magical Creatures. He killed a bunch but avoiding A few that was too high leveled. Getting His Adventurer Class to Level 15. He was Finally able to Use the class skill To follow it towards his Legendary Class Quest. After Couple of hours of walking and talking with his chat. He Finally Arrived at The Kingdom of Ferris. Where his Legendary Class was taking him to meet The Seer there. Once Arrived He saw The Kingdom from a cliff and he looked at the buildings Noticed they was all stone, brick, and wood. The Stone walls were pretty high there was at least three layers of these walls with each layer being more spacious than the last. and There was A large Stone Castle in the middle of the Kingdom. Noticing The large Crowd of people going in and out of the Kingdom. He went towards it, right when he got closer to the gate Apollo saw almost like A King''s welcome towards the Gate and in front of the Gate Two people stood there waiting with large smiles on their face. They dressed like royalties. Cheers burst out once he gotten close enough to the line of people being blocked of by the guards. All shouting out his name and going crazy. Apollo instantly knew those people was his chat. He Finally Arrived in front of the two people dressed like royalty. "Hello Traveler Apollo, I am King Jigglesprout! and this is Queen Yola." The king introduced himself and his queen. The king was a very short man possibly standing 4ft, He had the face of a bulldog like BeastKin. The Queen Like white she-wolf beast kin with piercing grey eyes. Apollo looked at the queen with a blush as she greeted him as well. "So, uh. I can guess why the other travelers are out here...but I don''t understand why the king and queen of this kingdom would grace such a traveler like me to meet at their gates instead of me coming to your humble castle?" Apollo says with politeness in his voice while wiggling his eyebrows that made the queen giggle with a blush. "OH ho! not just handsome but wise as well." The king says with a wink and amused look. The king coughs. "But to the real concerns of the matter why such royalties as us are here? it is because of thy quest that was given by the gods! Your Seer is none other than the Queen." The king says as Apollo looked at her with a dropped jaw. Before Apollo could speak, he was cut off by the king. "We can finish this talk at the Castle...Don''t worry all your questions will be answered there." The king says with a smile Apollo nodding with agreement. They Passed by the different layers of the kingdom Apollo notices that it''s just like any old classic Medieval kingdom in the history books and movies. The carriage finally arrived at the castle. Apollo looked impressed by the castle which was singled out by itself in the middle of a Lake The only way in or out was by boat or the one and only giant bridge they were traveling on towards it. After Departing The Carriage Knights were everywhere around the castle. Using the Royal Guards to escort them into the throne Room where Familiar Figures was standing in front of the throne waiting with Wide grins. "Look what we have here Chat." Apollo says wiggling his eyebrows with a joyful look. Even Though it''s a different game Apollo will always recognize his core Guildmates of Paragon. The Chat goes Crazy Spamming the different names of the members like they were celebrities. "Took ya damn time huh? Tough Guy!" A man With Red Short Hair, Heavy Plated armor with Sliver and blue mixed colors. A Large Great Axe that matches his Armor, Average human male height, Average looking face, with a medium size red color beard like his hair, Says with a smirk. "Spicy Bruh...what are you and the guild doing here??" Apollo says as the chat was already saying his name and going crazy with emotes. "Dude We are just as lost as You...The Queen and king Sent a messenger to us a few days ago in game Right when you got out of your tutorial telling us come here to the castle." Spicy says with confusion on his face. "Its because of you and your Guild fate to meet here today Master Apollo and his comrades." The Queen says walking by Along with the king who helped her up the steps towards the two chairs sitting down in their seats The king and Queen look at the travelers. "Your Here because of this man and now both destines are entwine forever.... Bring Him in!" The Queen yells out as the guards open the large doors to The Throne Room. A very tall man With Black long spiky Hair, built like an Ancient Greek statue, Wearing Red and black Scaled Armor that fits perfectly on him. With A two handed great sword on his back that was Bone colored metal with A Golden Hilt and grip. The closer he Got Apollo chat was going crazy As they all was repeating His name. "Master Apollo I would like to introduce you to the one who made it possible for your destiny to be revealed The Legendary Dragon Knight Ryu!" The Queen says in a excited Voice. Apollo Looked up at the mountain of a man and was jaw dropped by Ryu''s Character. Ryu looking down at Apollo with piercing Golden Dragon-like eyes. Apollo Felt like he was in front of an actual dragon as invisible sweat rolled down his forehead. "Uh...Yo Bruh! It''s awesome to finally meet you Ryu." Apollo says towards a Ryu who just looked at him like he was a piece of meat to chew. "Uh...Ryu You okay there dood??" Apollo says while swallowing spit with a nervous look. "BROOOOOOO!!!!! HOLY SHITTTT I CAN''T BELIEVE ITS ACTUALLY Y-Y-YOU." Ryu yells out with A deafening loud voice as the whole throne Room covered their ears. "Uh Jesus Dood! that was loud and scary." Apollo says as he recovered from the outburst along with everyone else. "OH, shit sorry Dawg! Sometimes I forget where I''m at and spaz out." Ryu says while chuckling awkwardly. The king coughs to get the travelers attention. "Now that you two are now aquatint with one another. The real reason You both have been summoned here is because of an Ancient tale told to the children of this world." The king says with a serious expression as he looked towards the queen who nodded with approval. "Long Ago....A time Where All the races of [Euphoria] Was Peaceful and all the Continents Were once Just One Super Continent. No Good or No Evil just Life....In Till one Unfaithful day it all Changed. A portal Appeared in the capital city With Demons Stepping out of the portal and Destruction followed.... Killing, Raping, Pillaging, And Torturing the ones they captured. That day changed us Euphorians life''s forever. The demons were hellbent on Taking anything and devouring anything as well. Till one day we decided to fight back...and take back what was ours.... but no matter how much we tried to rebel the demon''s invasion us Euphorians never could really fight back such power of demons. All we ever could do was pray and finally our prayers were answered.... Angels came down from the heavens clad in white Silver and Golden armor Pure white wings, Along with Dragons that were Fighting alongside the Angels. Fighting back the Demon invasion the war with the Angels and demons continues for years on [Euphoria]. The Angels and dragons Teaching us Euphorians Magic and combat to help fight back the demons. Then Finally the day came for the war to end. The Leader of The Angels and The King of Dragons had cornered The Demon King With all His Generals Imprisoned or dead. Together They Sealed the Demon King back in his realm. Before our Saviors left this world and went back to their own...The Leader of the Angels Left us A powerful Sword. That if Evil has returned To Euphoria This Sword Will Choose a Hero and give that hero the power to Vanquish All evil that comes from the darkness. The King of Dragons Stayed along with his Kin Becoming the Official Protectors of Life on Euphoria. Euphoria Was never the same after The Demon invasion. Slowly But surely The Evil That plaque Euphoria wasn''t gone... not by a long shot. The Sins left by the demons had corrupted most of the Races Causing them to become Savages or Worse than the demons that invaded. Wars were started, and the Magic that was taught to us by our Saviors became corrupted Bringing in an Era of different Calamities. With Chaos and Corruption Brought Something That Devours all of Life...Death. When there is Light...There is also Darkness. To balance The Universal Law. The Time has Finally come For the Sword to be unleashed and Vanquish this Evil on our beloved World. This Sword Has called out to you Master Apollo." The king says towards Apollo Who was looking dumbfounded. "W-Wait One damn minute how do you even know this sword choose me and where is it??" Apollo says looking confused. "It''s because of my Vision that I had of you pulling the Legendary Sword out of the stone Three nights ago....and Where is the Sword well that''s why he is here." The Queen points at a Ryu Who was spaced out humming something as he finally notices everyone looking at him. "Um... yes? I-I mean Ma''am...S-Sir Majesty???" He asked in a stuttering confusion since he wasn''t paying attention to none of the dialogue the king and queen was saying. Apollo chat went crazy with laughter and Apollo sighs at the Giant dragon knight along with the paragon Guild face palming. "Is he seriously apart of our guild?" Apollo asked Spice as he shake his head with a sigh. "Even though the man acts like this He''s actually More than good enough to be on the core raiding team.... but we haven''t promoted him up yet." Spice Says with a nervous glance at Ryu who was getting scolded by the king and queen like a child. Before Apollo Could say something else to spice, he was cut off by the king''s cough. "Like I was saying before... Ryu Here knows exactly Where the Location of the Legendary Sword, Master Apollo." The Queen says with a smile. "Yeah, it''s located in When I obtained my legendary class The sword was there protected by the dragon that bestowed me its power to become The Dragon Knight." Ryu Says towards Apollo. "Okay so I''m guessing now that the dragon is gone.... I must hurry and secure this powerful weapon before anyone else does?" Apollo ask the Queen and king. "I doubt Anyone could pull the thing out other than you...it''s called out to you Master Apollo Only you can Wield the Legendary Sword Of power! [Excalibur]." The king Says as Everyone in the throne Room jaws dropped except the king and queen who looked amused at the Travelers. "Excalibur!!! Holy Shiit Dood!!!" Apollo Yells out while his chat was going crazy with emotes. "Hahaha! That''s right my boy! So, it seems even in your world the Sword is known and oh the irony! fact that the Sword Has chosen an outsider of this world to be our Savior!" The king says with A joyful smile and chuckle. After Few more minutes of talking to the king and queen Apollo and his guild finally left the castle and now outside of the kingdom making preparation to travel towards . The guild and Apollo were camped outside the kingdom inside a Tent Apollo Sigh Looking towards Live stream screen. "Chat Even though...I was awarded A Legendary Class Quest...I''m still a stupid ass adventurer class noob.... But it''s okay it''s only for a little while boys!!! Soon we about to be slaying with a godly weapon." Apollo says talking to his chat and answering questions. Then all of sudden Spice came through his tent and ask him to come outside its urgent. Apollo ran out behind Spice looking worried but than his facial expression changes with a look of surprise. All his Guildmates at least over A thousand players were waiting on him to come out. Then he saw Spice and his core member standing around A suit of platinum like Armor mixed With White dye. pure White fur around its neck, White long Cape on the back. With A Letter P Engraved in the chest piece. After looking at the Armor in shock the chat and Guildmates told him to put it on. [You Have Equipped 1x Platinum armor Chest piece.] [You Have Equipped 1x Platinum armor Leggings.] [You Have Equipped 1x Platinum armor Gauntlets] There was no helmet, but the armor fit me well. The Rating on the armor was Rare with Each piece of armor giving Constitution, Endurance, and Strength stats boost by 125. Then Another Guildmate arrived with a Red and golden case holding it as if it was a priceless treasure. Spice took the case from the Guildmate and handed it to Apollo. Apollo opens the case What he saw in it was nothing short of a masterpiece. Apollo Analyze the object in the case. [Item Name]: Dawnbreaker [Item Rating]: Epic [Item Type]: Two-Handed [Level Requirement]: 25 [Attack Power]: 12,000-28,250 Dmg per second {+130 Strength, +130 Constitution, +130 Endurance} [Durability]: 100/100 It was a Giant White silver two handed sword With A platinum Hilt and grip. The sword matches perfect with his Armor making him look bad ass. "They waiting on you to raise your sword Bro." Spice whisper to Apollo ear as he nodded and raise his sword with a funny battle cry as the Guildmates and viewers in his live stream went crazy. A few days went by in game as the guild travel towards the forest of Dutch Veil and finally arrived. The guild was more than a thousand strong as players were randomly joining the March. Once after stopping the ground started to Shake and a worldwide system messages went out. [The Guild Has commenced A Raid on This will be a world Event All players that participate in this Event that dies will stay dead until the raid is completed. All Monster in the Area will have increased difficulty and bonus EXP when killed.] After The system Announcement Another deep Ghostly voice boomed in the background. "YOU TRAVELERS SHALL RULE THE DAY YOU ATTACK MY DOMAIN!!! FOR DEATH SHALL COME TO ALL THAT TRESPASSES THROUGH MY FOREST!!!" Dutch Veil voice could be heard throughout the Area. After hearing this Apollo look towards his core Guildmates. That were all standing on a hill looking over the large encampment of players in front of the forest. "Well Boys....It is Time!" Apollo says with A wide grin and wiggling eyebrows. Side Stories: The Hero part 2 Apollo Slams down on the war table Everyone in the room looks towards him. he looks down at a physical map of Dutch Veil Forest. Screams could be heard from few different screens floating above the map. Showing different perspective of each player going through the forest with their party getting attack and mostly killed by different undead creatures and magical beast. "Damn it, Dood!" Apollo yells out the first to speak up in the war tent was Spice. "No matter which way we enter the forest. the undead comes at all our scouting party at full force." Spice Says with a troubled look. "I think we should just push through with our core Team and bash every undead filth standing in our way." A giant with long black hair that covered his eyes. wearing a barbarian like tunic says ducking a little trying to stay comfortable under the large tent that was surprisingly big enough for him to fit in it. "I''m with Spandex guys." A gnome with purple & black colored emo like hair style Tattoos and scar like stitches all over his body all black mage robes says with depressing voice with a tired look yawning. "I was going to suggest that but if Stitches here said it first than it must be a great idea what you think Tesla??" Apollo says with a nod looking at A Tall slim woman, leopard tail and ears only like A BeastKin but she was race known as the Demi-human. With Black colored ponytail style hair with glass, Wearing dark brown leather like armor, Wooden Bow and sliver arrows in a brown leather quiver on her back. "I think we should push with the core team as well...but With Ryu''s help. we should have him join the core raiding team since he has dealt with the place in the past." Tesla says pushing up her glasses as everyone in the tent sighs and thought on her comment. "Ok...lets go with that." Apollo says towards the group with confidence. Everyone nodded along with the plan. They all step out of the giant Tent looking towards the forest of Dutch Veil. "Wait...where is Ryu?" Apollo ask as the rest of the Group look around with a shrug. A Loud booming of thunder along with a storm that magically appeared out of nowhere. A large Black & purple colored dragon comes out of the sky Roaring loud enough to shake the core of every living thing in the area. "Holy shit! Dood! A fucking Dragon!" Apollo shouts out with excitement. The Dragon landed right in front of the large tent. The core team prepared their weapons for a fight. A familiar figure Jumps off the back of the dragon landing right in front of Apollo. "Ryu!!!?" Apollo yells out with surprise as the Dragon Knight attire changed This time his Dragon Scaled Armor was Black with purple glowing lighting effects. With A long Spear about the same color as the armor. "Oh, Sup guys!!" Ryu says with a smile and a wave. "Yo Ryu dood!! is that your own bad ass Dragon??" Apollo says looking amazed. Looking up at The Dragon who scales is the same as Ryu''s Attire with its dragon eyes blazed with purple electricity. "No bro... he''s my companion and his name is Tempest, The Storm Dragon." Ryu says with pride Rubbing Tempest like a dog. "Okay than...Tempest nice to meet you buddy." Apollo says while slowly walking towards the Dragon to pet it. It growls a little at him making Apollo jump back a little. Ryu patted Tempest to calm him as it puffed up than started glowing purple while its form gotten smaller. small enough to be the same size as a horse. "Glad that you arrived Ryu! We were just looking for you to help the core raiding team. to get through the forest and find the sword." Apollo says towards a Ryu who was looking at him with a cocky smile. "Oh! well that what I was hoping for. I''m glad I did decide to come here and try to see what I could do to help the raid." Ryu says with an excited look. After going over details with Ryu Apollo Summoned The rest of the guild that wasn''t dead or in the Forest. Apollo stood in front of thousands of players. from a cliff with his core raiding team and Ryu standing behind him. "Boys and... well Boys!!" Apollo yells out towards the sea of players with his eyebrows moving Animated on the live stream.

Watch How it is done by the best of the best That our guild Paragon has to offer!!!" Apollo yells out with his sword raised high with a funny sounding battle cry. The Crowd roared with excitement. Apollo left the area along with Ryu and the core Raiding Team heading into the forest of Dutch Veil. While walking in the forest Apollo check the stats of a few of his raiding team members. The first he looked at was Ryu. "Okay Boys time to see what this legendary Dragon Knight is all about." Apollo says towards his live stream with his eyebrows wiggling all animated.

Apollo yells towards the live stream it the screen changed from his face and zoomed in on some bushes that was shaking. A Tall Black Colored furry creature with half its bones showing and blood dripping from its mouth. The creature was taller than even Ryu.

Spice yells out towards the group of Werewolves. "Hahaha!!! You''re telling us to stand down Human...We do not fear Creatures that are weaker...and Out Number?? I think the playing Field is Even." Baldur says with a deep killer voice. More Werewolves started to Appear all around the Core Raid group which was 60 members strong. "This is not looking good at all!" "They have us surrounded, they are Everywhere!" The core raiding Team members were yelling out. "What do we do Apollo??" One of the core members ask towards Apollo as He smirked at the person.

Go and Devour Them My Kin!!!" Baldur yells out with the sound of battle Beginning to happen all around the area. A Few moments after the battle started. The Area That was once a Dark eerie forest of Death was now A Battlefield of Death and Destruction. Apollo Slash Down one of the werewolves in Half as the body fell over like a sack of potatoes. He was breathing Hard panting His Hp at Half. He looked around seeing Everyone Is in a Skirmish. He seen more Of The raid team members corpses than the Werewolves on the ground. He walked Around The battle with his weapon Ready Covered in blood and a few wounds. The first few people he Spotted was Spice who was with Tesla. They were fighting one of The Werewolves. Spice Sliced off one of its arms while Tesla Blew its head to pieces using her bow skill . Spice Was panting While looking at Tesla who gave him a nod of acknowledgment. looking around the two Even though they were common class players. They manage to take down 4 of the Wolves. While some that was ganging up on 1 and was still having trouble. "See that boys...OGs in Paragon core raiding Team don''t mess around!" Apollo says towards his live stream as the screen zoomed in on Stitches Who was surrounded by a blue Crystal-like barrier. Standing beside him was A frosty maiden of ice Her skin Was Blue with A white long cloth covering her face. She wore a white dress that make her look like a ghostly bride. Three other figures were standing not too far from Stitches. One was Wearing A hooded blue Robes with Golden runes on it.

His HP Haven''t Even drop lower 20% from full. Apollo was Going to run over to help out his Giant friend. When he saw all six coming at the giant at once. Each of The Wolves was Hit by The Giant''s Weapon That looked like a carved Tree. Using His Two-Handed Skill All Six Wolves was Defeated instantly. The Camera Zoomed in Towards Ryu Next Who was Killing the Undead Werewolves With ease along with his Dragon. It was Like watching Moths going into A bonfire. How many of the beast''s corpses was scattered and burnt with electricity still on their lifeless bodies Around Ryu and Tempest. A Booming Roar ringed out on The Battlefield Showing Baldur Making his Entrance into the Fray. The Screen Zoomed back towards Apollo''s face. "Boss Fight Boys!!!" Apollo yells out in excitement. "It''s Been Years Since the Last Time I fought a Dragon....Maybe Thousands....who could really keep up Right?? Hahaha!!!" Baldur Says with a deep Deadly voice. "And possibly Your last Time to." Ryu says towards Baldur with a serious look. "Oh! OOOH! Hah! This is great!! I can finally let loose after all this Time being Bored of death Literally!!" Baldur Says with a Wide Grin along with his blazing Eyes getting even more intense with flames. "Be Bored of This You Dirty Mutt!!" Spandex Yells out Coming down from his Class lunge Skill Slamming Down on top Of the Demonic looking Werewolf with A thunderous boom. Causing Major Dust to fly up everywhere. Once The Dust cleared It showed a crater left by the attack. Showing Baldur still standing There Blocking the attack with One hand looking at The Struggling Giant with a disappointed look. "Tsk! Tsk... What A Pity! So much Mass but No Strength!! How The mighty Clan of Giants have Fallen!" Baldur Says with a murderous Grin. Under Spandex Hair you can see his face with anger and veins popping out of his head. Trying to Pull away from the beast with all his strength. Baldur griped hard onto the tree leaving cracks. Launched a punch directly into Spandex stomach as He let go of his weapon along with a gasp of air while clutching his stomach. "Watch out Spandex!!" Ryu yells out but it was too late. Baldur Swung the Tree like weapon into The Giant Barbarian sending him Along with his weapon Flying Crashing into the Forest like a boulder rolling down a hill. After the dust and Destruction settled showed an unconscious Spandex covered in wounds laying in a pile of trees. "Dood! Just that one little exchange basically almost killed spandex who is Stacked with HP now it''s lower than 20%...Jesus!! Healers!!! Aid Spandex!" Apollo yells out the orders to the raid group. A few Barrages of Arcane Spells were launched towards Baldur. Explosions after explosions were going off Baldur Swipe away the smoke Showing him unharmed. Stitches Black knight instantly appeared on Baldur flank. Baldur Reacted quick dodging the fast attacks from the knight Than the tall pale one was coming up behind Baldur with blur movements.

Using His Unique Skill Rapid Claw attacks diced up both Stitches Summons instantly turning them into chopped BBQ With Green Flames burning their bodies into ash. "Noooooooo!!!" Stitches yells out as he kneels to the ground feeling the backlash from his dead summons. Baldur Instantly Appears in front of stitches.

Stabbing The Ghostly Bride with just one claw. She Howled a Ghostly whale Than turn into pixel dust. Baldur Was going for stitches now. Stitches looked up with despair in his eyes seeing Giant Demonic Werewolf Coming down on him like he was a plate of Turkey. Baldur Looked up And Jumped Backwards fast. A Purple Lighting Bolt Smashes heavily towards the spot Baldur was just at. Tempest landed at that Spot Along with Ryu Who was looking at Baldur with A serious look as His Eyes Were glowing with blazing purple electricity. "Here comes The Real FUN!!!!" Baldur Dash towards Ryu and Tempest With a burst of speed. Ryu and Tempest meet him head on. They clashed with basic Attacks Tempest going for tail swings While Baldur dodges and jumps over them. While Ryu take Advantage of Baldur''s timing Thrusting his Spear out towards the beast. Baldur Blocks the thrust with his claws as both Ryu and Baldur Exchange Rapid blows of Spear and Claws.

"It''s been way to long since an opponent made me go all out like This...You should be Honored Dragon Knight!!!" Baldur Says with a deep demonic voice. Ryu looked at tempest as they both nodded at one another. Tempest Flapped his wings and Dashed Straight for Baldur crashing into him Charging through the forest with a path of destruction away from the Raid team. Ryu Looked Back at Apollo Who was standing there looking dumbfounded at the battle that was going on. "Go Ahead towards the sword I will keep Baldur busy for you and the Raid team can keep going." Ryu says towards Apollo Who was Shaking his head from the amazing battle he just saw. "W-Wait Ryu. His stats just doubled, and I think he went up a tier we could possibly beat him if we all gang up on him." Apollo Says towards Ryu who shook his head with a no. "Baldur Is one of Dutch''s Most dangerous prisoner''s if he''s here it only means Dutch is close to obtaining the Sword for his master and need someone powerful to keep us busy and from you obtaining the sword of power ." Ryu says towards Apollo Who was thinking hard on Ryu theory. Explosions goes off towards the area where Baldur and Tempest went Showing purple and green colors colliding together in the sky. Ryu looked towards that area with a troubled expression. "Trust me bro... You got to keep going under wise that bad ass warrior King class you want will just be a dream." Ryu says looking back at Apollo with a cocky smile. "You know what Ryu....I''m starting to think you might be right Dood. Okay Boys let''s go and Leave Ryu with that mutt!" Apollo says towards Raid team as they all march off With Apollo leading the way with his Skill. Ryu Jumped from the spot he was at heading towards the Area where Tempest and Baldur were fighting. A few moments Later of Running through the forest The Core Raid Team stumbled onto A mountain that looks like a Volcano Showing a path heading up the side of the mountain They walked the trail up into the Mountain. Apollo Stop as They arrived on a cliff Showing an Ancient Temple on the inside of the mountain. Two large golden Double doors with dragon''s design etched into the doors. it was fully open. Apollo and the raiding team slides down the cliff and walked up the stairs into the temple. What awaited them Was A large room With a Giant stone in the middle Along with A Sword stuck in the middle of it. There was also another person there That looked like A dark shaman.

Baldur used his Unique Skill . Tempest tried to counter the attack but it was too late. Baldur was already releasing his attack towards Tempest. he was prepared to take the attack in till A Loud clang! echoes out in the forest Showing Ryu figure appearing in the way of the attack blocking with his Spear. "Well....if it isn''t your knight in shiny Armor Dragon!! hahahaha!" Baldur Says with bloodlust crazed laughter as he disengaged from Ryu''s block landing on the ground sliding. Both Ryu and Tempest landed as well a few feet away from Baldur. They looked towards each other with Baldur doing a smirk. "Hmph! You think keeping me busy here will change Anything Dragon Knight?" Baldur says with an cocky attitude. "Doesn''t matter long as he gets the sword you and your masters plans will fail mutt." Ryu says towards a Baldur who looked trigger from what he just said. "YOU!!!

Baldur yells towards Ryu with rage as he rushed towards the Dragon knight. Ryu and Tempest Engaged the unholy beast. With Ryu matching blows with him and tempest blasting Arcs of lightning from his mouth. Baldur dodges a few of the blast.

Baldur Grabs the Spear but instantly regrets it. the elemental status effect for the spear activated keeping him stuck there stunned. He instantly drops it from the shock to his core The spear floated there in pause and zipped back into Ryu''s hand. "Now Tempest!" Ryu yells out as Tempest flew towards The sky like a rocket glowing intensely purple. A Large Raging Dark tornado full of purple Arcs of lightning surrounds Baldur. Baldur Rage with a fierce Roar as his unholy flames intensify on his body. He moves step by step looking around for A Ryu who wasn''t standing in front of him anymore. Slowly feeling his movement coming back. An Arc of lightning hit the beast in the chest making him kneel. Forcing himself to get back up. Baldur slowly rose back up than was hit again with another Arc of lightning. This time he didn''t kneel but tank the hit and tried to move normal again but another strike hit him this time he stop his movement. "Enough of this annoyance!" He roars out with A frustrated voice glowing Green and exploded with unholy flames trying to clear the storm but it was still there surrounding him. "What sort of trick is this!?" Baldur yells out looking towards the sky as he notices the eye of the storm is now formed into a Giant Dragon''s head with its opening mouth glowing brightly purple coming straight for him. "HAHAHAHA! That''s right try to devour me if you can Almighty storm dragon!" Baldur yells out to face the attack head on jumping towards it glowing intensely with unholy flames. Baldur gets closer towards the storm dragon he can make out the dragon knight plunging down towards him spear first becoming the purple glowing energy. "Swallow this Dragon!!! !!

Baldur says while coughing up more black blood while his lower body was slowly disintegrating with the spear still in his chest pinning him into the ground. Tempest slowly descends from the sky landing right behind Ryu. "A Word of advise Knight....Just like me you also have that inner Primal Rage...Master that and you will be a king of kings...unlike me who was victim of his own Rage and manage to be some fool''s guard dog... it was a good fight Dragon Knight may your Future battles be as fun as this was...HeHeHe!"Baldur says with a weakly Voice and a prideful grin his body turns into Ash. Ryu body glows Golden as he felt refreshed from the levels he got from defeating a tier 4 boss. He grabs his spear and yanked it from the ground than looks towards Tempest and nodded. "Yea....indeed tempest, he was A strong opponent." Ryu says out loud looking at the ashes of Baldur and swiping away the multiple notifications in his vision as he jumped out of the large crater he was in and headed towards The way where the rest of his raid team was at. At The Sword in the stone Apollo and rest of the raid team felt Another Shake from the mountain like An Volcano was really what they was standing on and it was about to Erupt. "Your to late Hero... the spell is complete now the sword shall be converted towards the Dark side! come my friends!! Show me which of you shall be the new host for the sword of POWER!!" The Shaman says out loud as hundreds of ghost were coming out of the ground and trying to go in the sword but was instantly repel back by an invisible force. "HUH!?...Why do you struggle so Excalibur...your will shall bend Sword!!" The shaman yells out with a maniac looking facial expressions. Apollo looked at the rest of the raid team and than took out his sword and ran towards the Shaman. "Attack that crazy barbarian bitch before she corrupts my god slaying sword!!" Apollo yells out as he and the rest of the raid team charges at the Shaman. The shaman notices the travelers trying to attack her as she summoned multiple totems with different elemental and animal spirits to fight back the raid team as the skirmish started. Apollo cut down two of the animal spirits with his two-handed weapon skill . Using the Lunge Skill Towards The Shaman she notices Apollo attack and put up a magical barrier of Earth. Slamming down on the Shield Apollo was looking Surprised that she was able to react that quickly. The Shaman Summoned a giant elemental Earth like fist hitting Apollo and sending him crashing into The Black magical Barrier Around the large stone hard Sliding off it slowly and falling on his butt. "Like I said before...Your too late hero you think a weak little Adventurer like you can stop me The #1 Shaman of the Dark Arts! HAH! its so....pathetic." The Shaman says towards apollo with a cocky look. Apollo Stands back up with sword in hand charging towards the shaman with a funny sounding battle cry. The Shaman rolls her eyes and shrugs than proceed to Summon a Long Black Needle from her shadow. Apollo used The two-handed skill The attack was about to land right on top of The shaman head She instantly parry the attack making Apollo bounce back with another goofy surprised expression. She stabbed him in both legs as another black long metal needle poked out this time from Apollo''s Shadow. He kneel in pain making a funny looking facial expression. with his chat going crazy with Emotes. "it was fun for the few seconds you survived well just your facial expressions though...must be a traveler thing....good bye!" The Shaman says towards a kneeling apollo. she stab towards his neck but stop and dodge out of the way of an attack from Spice who slammed down with an attack right where she was just standing. Tesla Used her bow skill Firing multiple arrows at the shaman while she was in the Air. The Shaman twirls her black needle and deflected the arrows from hitting her. Right when she landed Ice entrapped her feet showing a trail leading towards Stitches Ice maiden summon creature. along with his Other two summons who instantly appeared where she landed. They both go for an attack but stopped right before they was able to hit The Shaman. Showing Multiple Black Needles Sticking out of them as they instantly turned into pixel dust along with the Ice melting from Black Flames. The Shaman Slowly walks out of it with no effort. Smiling with a wide creepy grin. "Damn Bruh i don''t think we can beat this crazy woman even with all of the raid team here my two summons was deleted." Stitches says looking worried. Apollo popped a Healing Potion and stood up off his knees with his wounds healed up and closed. "Boys The sword is basically ours we made it dood!....Only thing that''s standing in our way is a crazed loony barbaric Bitch and some dead animals...Lets Show Them what PARAGON IS ALL ABOUT ARE YOU WITH ME!!!" Apollo yells out as Everyone including his chat was raging with emotes and battle cries from the raid team. Dozen of spells and arrows rained down on the shaman as she Laugh with battle maniac laughter. taking all the attacks coming at her and fighting off close combat fighters like a one man army. "Damn bro way to go with the speeches yet again. Me And Tesla will go join in on the fun and help keep that crazy witch busy while you and Stitches figure out how you''re going to get in that barrier and get your sword, Okay sound like A Plan?" Spice says with confident look on his face. "That sounds good to me dood and remember to save some action for me Bruh!" Apollo says towards both Spice and Tesla who nods and dash off towards the battle. Apollo and Stitches look towards the barrier. "Now how do we.." Right before Apollo could say something else A Flash of White light from inside of the barrier shatter it like glass. "Uhhh Okayy..no abracadabra than?" Apollo says looking towards a stitches who look just as confused as him and Shrugs. "I don''t think that loon saw what just happen you better hurry up and climb that rock dood." Stitches says while look over towards The shaman who was annihilating their Raid team. Apollo nods and than looked at the large stone with determination and rushed towards it and than jumped grabbing hold of the stone and climbing it slowly. after a few minutes of climbing the stone and pulling himself up He saw The sword With the metal so dull like if you touch it, it might break and the hilt and grip covered in mold and moss. Apollo looked at The Sword with Disgust and disappointment. "Man dood... what the fuck is this Chat...My Granny got A back scratcher more usable than this Bruh!" Apollo says while his chat go crazy with emotes and till they started to type "look behind you!!" and in all caps. Apollo hurried and looked like the chat says as the live stream screen shows The shaman with rage on her face rushing towards the stone. "Ah Fuck boys! Hope this bad boy worth a respawn!" Apollo says as he hurried and grabbed the Sword as A Blinding Blue light blasted out from him grabbing the sword and pulling it out. Knocking everyone in the area backwards being blown away from the stone. Along With A towering pillar of blue energy piercing the skies Showing A Large Sword being formed from that Energy. Every Person in the world of Euphoria who is looking towards the sky can see it along with Every player in the game getting A World Wide System Announcement. [World Wide System Announcement!

Apollo says as his facial expression was A Surprised goofy one. The screen changed from his face to A floating Sword made up of Mana. "What?? you never seen a talking sword of mana before??" The sword says with a sarcastic voice apollo looked at the sword dumbstruck as he shake his head to come back to his senses. "W-Wait one second please!....are you the same sword at the stone?... and where are we??" Apollo bombard the sword with questions. "Whoa their kid, slow your roll there...I know seeing such a handsome fella like me is a lot to take in but sheesh...give yourself some breath at least."

Maybe more.... like im just the water and you''re the Fountain." Excalibur says towards an apollo who nods agreeing towards the reply. "Okay that kind of make sense.... but anyway to more important matters...when do I start slaying and you become my Big D Damage weapon?" Apollo asks with an excited look "Big D Damage weapon?? the hell is that?" Excalibur ask with a confused voice. Apollo coughs and clear his throat.

"Oh yeah!? well SHiit I think I''m starting to like you, Sword." Apollo says with a cocky grin "Like wise, Eyebrows." Excalibur says with a polite tone.

Apollo Jaw Dropped almost to the floor. He holds his head and start pulling his hair as his eyes gotten so wide looked almost cartooned. "HOLY SHHHIIIITTTT DOOOOOD!!.....this gotta be the most Over powered skill in the game....just imagine what i could do with this boys...basically turning the game into easy mode for me come on PROJECT YGGDRASIL." Apollo says excitedly towards his stream who was going crazy in the stream chat as the skill was screen shot by thousands of people watching and spreading it online. After looking at the skill Apollo got a notification. [Are you ready to leave Excalibur''s Domain?] [Yes] or [No] Apollo Clicked Yes and the white room shatter like glass. Showing him back in The temple where the sword was in the stone as he stood in the middle of the room where the stone was but now just pieces of it scattered everywhere. Apollo looked around seeing all of his raid team members recovering off the ground. A blur of movement headed straight for Apollo. It was The orange hair Shaman she was rushing at him like an angry bull. "All that preparation spent on recovering the sword...You will pay for destroying it fool! I WILL TAKE YOUR SOUL TO THE JAILER HIMSELF!" The Shaman says with anger She manage to reach Apollo using the Long black needle again to stab him. Apollo Saw the attack coming. Unlike before where he couldn''t keep up with the Shaman. His eyes glowed blue Showing him exactly where she was going to stab. He dodge the attack smoothly and grab the arm she used to throw out. [You have obtained The unique passive skill for Your Class !] The Notification pop up in front of Apollo screen. He smiled and looked excited about the new skill he just unlocked. The Shaman looked at apollo with surprise and notice him smiling weirdly as she grabbed her skull staff from her back and pointed at Apollo Shadow. "The Fuck you smiling at creep! let go of my arm and die!!" The shaman Yells out as Large three spikes made up of apollo''s shadow tries to pierce him from behind. His Sword block the attack using the skill absorbing the dark elemental attack. The Shaman eyes got wide seeing that. "I have the Darkness element for use eyebrows!" Excalibur says in apollo''s mind. "Okay let''s do this sword!" Apollo yelled out as he still had the shaman arm grip while taking his sword out showing it imbued with dark element. The shaman saw this and instantly snatch her arm free. Before The shaman could even dash back to avoid the attack, the sword slashed down with Apollo using the same motion as the Skill using all his strength into one attack. The skill was more different this time A powerful crash sounded off in the temple from the attack showing the force of dark mana burst out from the attack leaving a large Gap shape of a sword slash in the floor where the shaman was just at. She slides to apollo right barely avoiding the attack that cost her whole right arm to be cut off. "Damn dood....that wasn''t ??" Apollo says with confusion as A notification pop up showing what just happened. { The Skill was Evolved into Hit for -20,000 Crippling damage!} "What the.... So how did my two-handed skill Evolved sword?" Apollo ask Excalibur looking dumbfounded. "HMPH! easy kid...since your two-handed sword skills require Stamina to use it would only stay as a regular .... But now since your stamina has been converted into mana The skill turn into one that uses mana making it a more powerful version of the attack...get it?" Excalibur says to apollo who was nodding and wiggling his eyebrows like crazy. "Hell, yeah dood that''s soooo fucking bad ass!!" Apollo yells out while the shaman burst with anger showing her missing arm now. "You will pay for that hero! Now I shall show you the true power of a Shaman!" The shaman slams her staff down hard with a loud echo. Multiple totems pops up out of the ground. One that was glowing with green energy. Started to regenerate her arm back. Along with The totem That was glowing with yellow energy That put out a large yellow force field around her. While the shaman was preparing herself. Apollo Look at his sword and noticed the metal isn''t the same as before now there''s more of a glowing white and he can see his whole body bursting with raw manga showing a powerful blue aura surrounding him. "Wait...how come I''m not wielding your sword and why is [Dawnbreaker] more elegant now?? " Apollo asked in confusion. "It''s because you are the sword now eyebrows...remember the Water and fountain theory??" He asked Apollo who look down at the sword with confusion the sword sighs.... "In simple terms my power is to much to be a conduit for a sword in physical form...That sword you picked up from the stone it was a seal that Shatter into dust the minute you released me from the seal.....as for your sword it glows like that because of the power I....ugh never mind just know your the chosen one young master Apollo" Excalibur explains with a Mocking British like voice at the end . "broooo really the chosen one.... such a typical answer to say makes sense though.... since I am now a bad ass God slaying Hero class player." Apollo says with a dumb prideful look with his eyebrows doing weird movements. Excalibur Sighs Apollo looked at The Shaman and Finally looked at her stats. [Name: Anja, The Dark Shaman] [ Level: ?????????? 35] [ Health: 67,500/67,500] [Mana: 80,000/85,000] [Stamina: 65,000/65,000] [ Race: Human female] "So, she was a tier 5 boss!? this entire time!!" Apollo says with a shocked look. "No shit Sherlock!" A familiar Voice comes from behind Apollo. He sees Spice and the rest of his raid team looking battle worn and tired. "Ah so you guys finally recovered...took your damn time at that!" Apollo says towards his raid group. "Bro you actually did it and got your class congratulations!" Spice along with the rest of the raid congratulate Apollo. "So, what we do about her guys??" Tesla pointed towards Anja who was doing a weird dance for some spell she was cooking up. "Easy...You guys set back and recover while I solo this So called "Dark Shaman"... And see what my class is really capable of!" Apollo says with a cocky smirk. Anja Finish her Dance with A Slam from her Staff Showing Ripple of Dark mana emerging from the slam. "Arise my creations and become my Sword and shields!!!" Anja yells out as multiple Giant Dark golems with molten lava like veins all over their bodies were summoned from the Dark mana. Apollo stretched his body out. He rests his two-handed sword on his shoulder with one hand like it weighs nothing to him. Apollo notices this and started swinging his sword around like a light Saber. With a Surprised look a notification pops up on his screen. [You have obtained the unique passive skill for Your Class !] "Huh!?...so I''m a lot stronger now...how did that happen sword?" Apollo ask Excalibur with curiosity. "The more you get use to the new power you have obtained. The easier it is to obtain different skills for your new class." Excalibur explains with Apollo nodding. "So, like you said before all my skills will evolve all I got to do is the same motion as before with the old skills and it will show a more powerful version, correct?" Apollo ask Excalibur "That''s correct, Eyebrows!" Excalibur says as Apollo Started to bend his knees and use the skill instead of him jumping and slamming down on the opponent. The mana surge powerfully in his legs. He burst from the spot he was just standing at like A rocket. Leaving Behind a Blue Glowing After image of his figure. With Raw mana boot prints left in the cracked floor he was just at. Arriving in front of The Dark Golems in A instant. Swinging his swords towards the one in front with it glowing Raw mana on the blade hitting the Golem in the stomach as it was launched backwards Crashing the other Golems. {The Skill was Evolved into Hitting A Dark Golem for -10,000 Critical damage!} "Such! Speed! Looks like you''re not so weak anymore Hero but this Dance is only just the beginning!!!" Anja says towards Apollo. "Apollo!! those things are Tier 3 MOBS!!" Spice yells out to warn Apollo but what happened next made him and the raid team jaws dropped as Apollo Sword became big enough to slash through the whole temple as it crashes into the squad of Golems. Apollo used his Skill cutting All the golems in half killing them instantly along with shattering The Protective Shield and totems around Anja. "S-Such power by how a mere human like you can could obtain such a thing!! I won''t stand for this HERO!!!" Anja yells out in frustration as she charges at Apollo but before she could even step forward, she felt her stomach than looks down at the wound she received with wide eyes. "Noooo!! I can''t fall here I was Sooo clos-" Before she could finish her talk top of her body slid off from the bottom showing Dark mana exploding from her body destroying everything close to her. Leaving a large Hole in the temple floor. With A powerful stream of air coming the deep abyssal Hole her Detonation did. Smoke from The Exploding Shaman Expanded Through the whole Temple. The smoke started to clear a little showing Apollo with His Eyes glowing Blue intensely from the mana His Sword resting on his shoulders looking down through the Hole. "So much for the #1 Dark Shaman....Huh Guys?? Who''s weak now Bitch!! YEAH BRUUHHH!!!!" Apollo says towards his Stream with A prideful look as his stream goes crazy and his raid team still looking dumbfounded with surprise. Apollo Looked back at his Raid team who was Quiet than all of sudden a roar of cheers and shouts echoed in the Temple. "BRO! You actually solo ''ed A SQUAD of tier 3 MOBS and A tier 5 Boss that was Level 35 AT THAT! HOLY SHIT DOOD!! Spice says all excitedly towards Apollo who was feeling good about himself and was rubbing his nose up high rubbing it. "Shit it was Easy bro nothing to worry about I showed her who was boss around here." Apollo says with pride as the raid team was still celebrating in till a booming voice that shook the very mountain itself. "YOU DARE KILL ONE OF MY MOST LOYAL SUBJECTS IN MY VERY OWN HOME AND CELEBRATE!? YOU TRAVELERS SOULS SHALL BE MINES!!!" Dutch Veil and his royal guards were floating from the entrance on top of the temple looking down at Apollo and his raid team with A Menacing glance. The live stream changed from an angry Dutch to Apollo face looking at the stream with a nervous look. "FINAL BOSS TIME BOYS!!" Apollo yells out towards the screen. A Few Moments later Outside of the mountain.... Ryu and Tempest were Getting closer to the temple They got close Enough to see Dutch Veil and His Royal Guards Fighting Apollo and The Rest of the raid Team. "Your Right Tempest this isn''t looking good...you going to have to transform into your original State and Keep his Tier 5 elite guards busy While me and Apollo Take on Dutch." Ryu says at A roaring Tempest who nods at Him while he glows Purple and his form getting larger along with a storm forming in the sky. Dutch Veil Launches an attack at Apollo with a greenish sound wave sending him crashing into the ground hard sliding on his back. A Storm Formed above the mountain Rain started to pour along with thunder booming and lightning crackling. A Large shadow of a Dragon was seen in it Roaring loudly Enough to shake the very core of the mountain in all living creatures surrounding the area. The Dragon peaks its Head through the storm cloud and shot a powerful blast of lightning at Dutch Veil. Dutch Prepared Himself and put up a greenish Magical Barrier protecting himself from the blast. He then barks out orders to his Guards to fight the dragon. Royal Guards all went after Tempest and started attacking the dragon in the sky as he was fighting them back. Dutch Turned his attention back to Apollo dropping his barrier. In till he Heard A loud piercing noise with the crackle of lightning. he turns to look at the sky and see A Ryu plunging from the sky towards him with his Spear glowing with Lightning sparks. Ryu used His class skill Coming down fast like a lightning Strike. Dutch Blocked the attack at the last second with swift movement crushing the ground below his feet turning it into a crater. As they clashed Dutch looked up at Ryu with his mouth wide open A small unholy flame can be seen down the Jailer''s throat Ryu Eyes widen. He instantly disengages Dutch getting out of the way of the waves of unholy flames that was shooting out of his mouth. Landing out of the crater and sliding back towards Apollo Ryu look the left and saw Apollo''s hand to lift him up. Ryu Smirk a little and accepted his helping hand standing and nodding at one another. "Looks like you finally got you bad ass Warrior king class huh??" Ryu says towards an Apollo who smirks at him "Yeah Bruh!... and now we got to beat this Ancient Relic of a warden and get the fuck out of this death mountain...or forest...whatever the fuc-" Apollo says but was cut off by a raging Dutch who explode with pillar of Unholy Flames shooting towards the sky making it turn green and eerie with the storm. "DRAGON KNIGHT!!!.... Your interference Has gone on long enough. I was going to capture you and take you back to my Lord...but I believe he will be more pleased with You and The Hero''s Head on A platter SERVED COLD AND TOASTED HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Dutch Veil says with Confident laugh of promise. "Apollo...we going to have to give it our all here. With spamming our more powerful skills.... with my ULT on Cooldown and you just getting your class. I can''t guarantee our Victory here but us going slow by switching from defense and offense.... we might be able to Win this without the need of Tempest and my ULT." Ryu says in a serious tone He looked back at Apollo who was Cheesing Hard for some reason. "How about you just sit out for a minute Ryu...and watch how this Bad ass Warrior King Will Beco-" Before Apollo could even finish talking Ryu Pushed Apollo out of the way as Dutch instantly Appeared in front of him going for an attack with his large Sword Ryu blocked the attack but the attack was way stronger than he could predict and was launched of his feet and crashed into the temple pillars Hard with Smoke everywhere from the loud crash. "DOOD RUDE!!.... Aren''t we supposed to be the ones to interrupt your long Villainous Speech the FUCK!?" Apollo says with A squeaky and cracked Voice as his Chat goes crazy with Laughter. Dutch Rushed at Apollo with Disoriented Speeds. Attacking Him with fury of combos with his great sword. Apollo clashed with The Jailer steel to steel with Apollo getting pushed back. Ryu Appeared behind Dutch going for a thrust with his Spear trying to catch Dutch off guard. Dutch dodged the attack with his Disoriented Speeds. Getting behind Ryu instead attacking him now as Ryu and Dutch clashed at high speed with flurry of combos. Apollo Join in on the fight as well. Dutch was Taking them both on dodging and parrying their attacks. from the perspective of the raid, it was a flashing light show of green, blue and purple lightning in the temple dancing around and clashing with the sound of steel Echoing out. The Live stream chat was going crazy with Emotes while the raid team was amazed at the fight that was happening in front of them. Every few seconds you would see the three slow down and stop at A particular moment where Dutch is blocking both Ryu and Apollo attacks or the other way around with them blocking His attack. A Final clash echoed out showing Both Ryu and Apollo being pushed back and slammed into the ground Hard grunting as they both stand up slowly Showing them being out of breath and covered in bruises from the clashes with Dutch. Dutch Slowly Floating in the air in front of the Duo. Smiling with a cocky look of A sure Victory. He Raised his Great Sword above His head Showing His sword turning into A Giant Unholy tornado of Flames as He charge up This Unique skill called . "Did you Really think you both could stand A chance Against ME!! THE WARDEN OF DEATH, DUTCH VEIL!! MAY YOUR SOULS BE CONSUMED BY MY FLAMES!!!"Dutch Veil yells out. "Not good...we could possibly survive this attack...but the rest of the raid team will get wipe!" Ryu says looking towards apollo with worry. Apollo looked back at Him with a smirk. "Don''t worry Ryu....I won''t let that happen Let''s DO THIS EXCALIBUR!!" Apollo yells out standing up and walking in front of Ryu before Ryu could even say one word A Burst of powerful Raw Mana explode from Apollo just like when Apollo first grabbed the sword a pillar of that powerful mana pierce the sky clearing the storm. Using The Ultimate Skill Apollo Hair was floating up from the surge of energy. With His eyes turning Intensely Solid Blue. An Aura of Mana was coating Apollo. "YOUR TOO LATE HERO!! !!!" Dutch Slams down Towards Apollo and His Raid Team with the attack. It all Ended in an instant With only A quick gesture of movement with his sword that was too fast for even Ryu to see. Apollo Destroyed the attack like it was nothing showing the Dutch looking surprised. "W-What JUST HAP-" Before the Dutch could even finish Lines of blue rippling mana was shown all over his body. "Ah Shi-" Dutch tried to finish talking but Explode Like a nuke Destroying everything in its path With a Skull shape smoke being visible in the Sky Every living thing in Dutch Veil Forest that was near that mountain was disseminated from the blast nothing survive the Death of Dutch Veil. All except Apollo and his raid Team who was protected by a mana shield. Apollo was able to put up around them. After the smoke Cleared there was nothing but rubble all around the raid team. Even Half mountain was destroyed especially Where Dutch was at Nothing but A Large Gaping Abyss Where only the entrance to the temple was left standing. "Holy....Shit.... Did we really just survive that??" Stitches says looking all wild and nervous. "I Mean....we didn''t respawn so..." Tesla says looking around at the Devastation that Dutch and Apollo caused. "Are you guys, Okay?" A floating Apollo that was still in his Form says towards his raid group who were all looking at him with Shocked and Awe. "What!? is it something on my face??" Apollo asked looking honestly confused spice face palms. Ryu walks up to Apollo with cheeky smile. "And here I thought my class was broken...but that ULT is wayyy to OP Bro." Ryu says with a light chuckle. "Shiit! I''m still in this form damn it!! this is going to be the longest 15 minutes ever." Apollo says with a sigh As Everyone Looked at him Annoyed than loudly said all together "15 MINUTES!!!" along with his chat spamming 15 minutes as well. Apollo eyebrows start to wiggle all animatedly. A Screen from a glowing Purple Crystal Ball zooms out from Apollo and his raid group. Showing A Mysterious Figure in a brown long Cloak Holding the Purple Glowing Crystal ball sitting on a cliff that''s looking over . "Master....He succeeded In Dealing with the Jailer....How should we proceed now?" The Mysterious Figure asks out towards The Crystal ball With A low Seductive feminine Like Voice. "Now That is Interesting indeed.... There might be Hope for Euphoria After all.... Continue with Your Mission for Now." Says The Calm and collective Voice from The Crystal Ball. "Yes, Master." The Mysterious figure says as the crystal ball stop Glowing.

Most or few players have experienced this change....Especially for the ones who have been making A lot of progress. Like The Guild who has been making Waves!!!" Sam says excitedly. Videos and screen shots are shown on the Live stream of what use to be The Forest of Dutch Veil. Now A forest of living and magical creatures of good nature Settlements of Towns that are Almost Completed.... Along with an almost completed Town in the middle of the forest.

Since A month has passed there are more than 16 million players right now as we speak playing this wonderful game right now and it''s only been a month crazy right!?" Sam says towards the Live stream where the chat was going crazy. "To be in The Top 100 for your class Leader board is beyond amazing....but truly God like being in the Top 5 with thousands or even millions of players that might have the same class is insane!" Sam says with her chat agreeing and congratulating Squid.Jr. "Yeah I didn''t put too much thought in that Sam...Thank you and your chat for making me realize that." Squid.Jr says towards the Live stream with a humble opinion on the matter. "That''s not all that we should congratulate you on. Your Father Squid Senior aka the legendary "Captain Squid" as well. To be able to have the very First Legendary Tier Ship Only after A month since the game released How is that possible, please tell us?" Sam says looking towards the Stream with interest. "It wasn''t as easy as people might think it was. We at Guild Has been working on the blueprints for this Ship even before the game was even in development believe it or not.... My father Always wanted to migrate it to A game that was capable for us to build it and use it, but it was impossible. So, we just stored away the idea in till "Your Fantasy" Was Announced. Like you said before Sam. We at Guild are also the ones that experience this change just like the time in game makes what would''ve taken years in RL only a few months to do....it is indeed truly amazing."

Sam asks towards Squid.Jr who was beginning to answer after A slight pause. A loud bang on the counter where the cashier was lost in the Live stream finally snap back into reality. She looks up towards the person in front of her as the Live stream fades in the background she turns down the volume. "I''m So sorry didn''t mean to scare you by dropping that Yoda Pop miss....been A long day at work still think I''m on shift." The man says towards the cashier looking very tired. With rough short hair, Bad teeth, and A construction worker outfit on. The girl looked at the man with an awkward smile. "It''s okay sir, your total will be a dollar and fifty for the refill!" The cashier says as the man search through his pockets for the cash. But started to look troubled. "Damn it just my fucking Luck!!! Left my wallet in the truck." the man yells out and than sighs heading for the exit. "Sir! It''s okay I will pay for your refill with my stuff."

"For that man to be over 70 years old still amaze me. even my grandfather can''t move like that anymore. Bailey says looking at Mr. Williams who had his back straight and walking out of the store with no worries. After Leaving the store Mr. Williams walks towards an alley way not too far from the store as he arrived in front of A group of stray cats and kittens. He poured some milk that he bought from the store in each bowl that they was circling around and he also opened up A few cans of cat food feeding the strays as He smiled and pet a few of them than left.

"I am tired of being a slave my lord. With gold I can buy my freedom and anything I want including power! Hehe heh." The goblin chuckles under his breath but then start to sweat nervously while looking at Akujin. "Greed...that is the core of your being. do not mistake real power for something as having material things like gold my little green friend. but don''t worry I shall reward you for the job well done." Akujin Says with a light chuckle as the goblin started to feel at ease and smiling about his reward for doing what was ask of him by the lord.

"I will Have that place burning like A forest fire that you could see for miles." Murda says with An excited glare in her eyes as her, Killa and the rest of the raiders left the village going towards the Fort.

"It''s Alright King Alucard.....what that man did to your kingdom and family from terrorism into killing the crown prince is-" Before Kratos could finish he was cut off by the vampire king. "He wasn''t just murdered....he was humiliated and tortured!!!

"Yo! good to see you again professor and the Vice leader, He is busy with other matters.... so, he sent me along with our best fighters." Skys says with a straight face. "The Exalted Legion huh?....I have heard of your guild deeds Master Skys...let''s hope that reputation isn''t just a myth." King Alucard says with a smirk. Skys looks at the king with irritation but before he could say anything Kratos beat him to the punch first. "Trust me Your majesty it''s not a myth I assure you of-" Before Kratos could finish A loud explosion rocked the Fort as everyone in the Dinning Hall looked around with panicked faces. One of The Soldiers of the Fort clad in heavy Iron armor bust through the double doors of the hall. "Master Kratos!!! Intruders!!! It''s The Nightmare Akujin he has arrived!!" The Soldier yells out as the whole crowd burst with readiness and energetic yells. "Let''s see if this so called Guild isn''t such a myth after all."

Activate the runes now mages!!!" Kratos yells out as he looks at the tallest tower in the fort but nothing happen. he yells it out again but nothing happen the second time as his face turns pale. "Oh, I see what you tried there...Kratos don''t you mean this." Akujin Says with a wicked grin as He snaps his fingers Him and his crew disappeared like they never existed as an explosion at the tallest tower happen. Shaking the whole fort as the fort soldiers went into a frenzy. Half the tower came falling into the fort tearing the walls in the front and right side down. Akujin Bandit army charges the ramparts and the courtyard heading into different buildings fighting the fort Soldiers as battle rages on. The Vampiric King looks towards Kratos with rage. "Illusion Magic!? YOU FOOL!!! what is this!? is this some trick to help him kill me or did you just got played by your own plan??" King Alucard says with anger as he jacks up Kratos by his collar high up in the air with one hand. "N-Nooo! your highness I swear!

The magic Knight Skys was about intervene in till the professor stop him with a shake of his head telling him not to. "Why shouldn''t me and my Guards cut down you and every traveler here to leave and escape from that beast?" King Alucard says towards a Kratos who was struggling to breathe. "Because without me you would be stuck here along with your daughter and you both will die here by that monster...Without me you will not have a way out of this fort!" Kratos says while one eye open looking directly at the vampiric king. The king hesitated a little in till His daughter Lilith put her hand on his shoulder with a worry sad look.

Lilith yells out as her dad drops Kratos He turns around and hugs her. "Don''t worry my child you will not!! I will protect you with my all." King Alucard says with promise in his voice. Another explosion sets off in the fort. the captain looks over the balcony seeing Murda and Killa down in the court yard heading for the church they was in. "My King we need to go! the devils are heading this way." The captain says towards king Alucard as Kratos stood up after getting his breath back. "Skys! you and your crew need to hold the line while Me and The professor escort the king and his daughter to safety and out of the Fort. I will come back to help you deal with Akujin."

"Hmph! we should be more than enough to stop him here and collect on that bounty...go and run with your tail between your legs but once me and my team deal with Akujin you''re not getting one percent of the gold...got that!" Skys says with a disgust look at Kratos as him and his team runs off towards the middle of the church waiting for Akujin and his crew. "Let''s go King Alucard...the secret passage is this way."

H-How did you even get down here??" Kratos yells out with surprise. "Cmon now Kratos...I know your not as dumb as you look. look around you. surely you can figure it out." McMagnum says spreading his arms out with a gesture showing what he meant as the docks was under the fort inside a waterfall cave. "F-father!" Lilith cries out getting behind her dad with a scared look. "Don''t worry Lilith my child....father will protect you. Captain!!" King Alucard yells out towards his Captain of the Royal guard as The Orc nodded and got him and his soldiers in a defensive position around the king and his daughter. McMagnum jumps over the rail from the ship along with a few of Akujin''s raiders as they look menacing with their weapons out facing Kratos and king Alucard''s group.

"The fact you haven''t noticed your Soldiers were under my control this whole time Captain made this all too easy to kill this pathetic fool of a Father." Lilith says with A cold seductive like voice as She walks towards McMagnum standing by his side. "Shiit what The FUCK!!!" Kratos yells out looking shocked at what just happened. "Professor we have to." Kratos was about say something towards the professor in till he turned around and saw all his Slave NPC guards were on the ground not moving Showing the professor with his spell book out.

She opened the bag and threw an object out that echoed out with a wet thud rolling towards the kneel pinned down Orc His eyes went wide as his face turned pale looking at A head this Head was The Queen of Alucard Kingdom. The Queen looked exactly like Lilith but older with Pale snow white like Skin tone. "M-My Q-Queen..." The Orc says with a voice of despair as his shoulders slumped down. McMagnum walks up to a kneeling Kratos who was tied up by the professor spell and was forced down by the professor companion as She held him down with one hand on his shoulder. he struggled to get up to trying to escape from McMagnum. McMagnum Glance down at Kratos with his usual cold and calculated look saying. "This is Checkmate, Mister Kratos." Back to Where Akujin and Rose are Fighting.

"That kid is actually keeping up with the boss in that form. what do you think of this mur-" Before killa could finish his words Murda was looking all maniac like and aroused touching herself in places that was way too much for any pure soul eyes. "O M G!!!! I LOVE IT WHEN MY LORD GET SERIOUS!!!" Murda yells out as Killa shakes his head and sighs crackling of Lightning shoots everywhere breaking windows and pillars in the church as the two with draw from clashing. Akujin Floating in the Air looking down on a rose Who was standing on top of a cut in half pillar looking up at The devilish figure Floating with his wings flapping.

Rose yells out as he Turned into pure lightning chasing after Akujin with his Lightning-fast teleportation Akujin leading rose out of the church roof crashing through it. Rose appeared on top of the roof standing on the very top where you could see the whole fort and certain mountain range and lands for miles. He looks up Seeing Akujin form floating with an evil smile holding one hand up as if he was touching something. "You said you wanted to Slay the strongest monster, right? let''s see how determined you are for that dream to come true Kid. !!!" Akujin yells out The Skill that makes him absorb souls of this world As the Black and red aura Surrounds his hand like a black hole it started to absorb White glowing motes from the sky. Rose stood in confusion and then looked worried as he launched himself from the roof going for an attack with his Spear. A black eerie barrier of shadowy like substance Surrounded Akujin as Rose was Bounced back from it. landing back on the roof from the force of the dark mana like shadow barrier Rose thinks to himself. ("Whatever he is doing I got to stop it! Something is telling me if I don''t. I won''t be able to beat him at all after it''s completed.") Rose turns into Pure lightning again as he was Doing barrage of attacks against the dark barrier surrounding Akujin. Akujin Looked from outside of the dark barrier chuckling with an Evil laugh as he also was looking at the notification popping up on his screen.

A Secret door slides open from one of the walls in the church as McMagnum and the group from the cave all walks out into the ruined sanctuary. "It seems like you two had a lot of fun" McMagnum says Towards Killa and mudra who was standing looking all battle-worn and bruised up. looking up at the ceiling together as he looked around at the destruction that was caused. "Not as much as him." Killa says pointing up towards the ceiling of the church where there was a large hole showing Akujin Floating above the fort in a dark barrier of mana as it looked like lightning was constantly striking at it. "Nooooo!!! I work to hard on this place and you crazy fucks come and destroy it all!!!" Kratos yells out as he looked at his church with anger and sadness welling up in him. "Shut it you fat fuck!" Killa says while punching Kratos right in the gut as he bends over with an "oOaf" sound taking a knee. "W-why killa you son of a- " Before Kratos could finish, he was interrupted by one of the raiders who picked him up and forced him to move as the group leaves out of the sanctuary and heads into the Courtyard of the Fort to get a better view of the sky. Akujin barrier sent out a powerful shock wave right when Rose tries to attack again, rose was sent flying back crashing into the Courtyard causing a crater to form. Rose dust himself off and stood up than notice to his left seeing the group of Akujin Raiders with Kratos and the king''s guard Captain as prisoners. than he notices the professor and Princess Lilith wasn''t tied up like Kratos and the captain he gave serious looking glances at the two traitors. "Rose!!! You got to help Me out of this pal." Kratos yells out for help towards the warrior. "I think it''s a little to late. to play Hero here Rose." The professor says looking up at Akujin Whose barrier now looks different as it was in the shape of an Egg colored Red and black intense aura. Rose frowns as he looks up towards the sky as well.
