《God´s Games》 Prologue The Lost Soul It was silent; not a sound to be heard whatsoever, and wherever I looked it was dark, but for some reason that darkness was comforting. Suddenly, I heard a voice. "Come here." It was a tempting voice and there is a good scent drifting all around me, so I followed it using my instincts. I walked and walked until, finally, I came to a stop after I felt a presence, or rather, it told me to stop. I couldn''t do anything to fight it. I stopped for a moment and my brainpaused for a second.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. Then I could think again and saw where I went, then there I was, standing in a white room, and in front of me was a blinding light that I couldn''t see through. I tried asking, "Where am I? Who are you? Why am I here?" At that moment, the mysterious voice spoke inside my head. "You''re here for a Game." "AGame?!" "Yes. A Game! I''m going to bring you to a world full of magic and swords. You''re gonna have to discover the world and get stronger. When you are stronger, I will give you the answers you seek. Now go! and discover the truth." Just like that, the mysterious light and the mysterious white place vanished into the darkness. The next time I opened my eyes, it would be the moment that I started my adventure to find the truth and the questions I want to be answered. Why don''t I remember anything about myself? Who am I? Why am I here in the first place? Chapter 1 Introduction and the rules The next moment I opened my eyes, I saw a completely different scenery. The area all around me was full of trees, plants, weeds. I walked towards a tree, but a piercing headache forced me to stop in my tracks. Then images appeared inside my head. "This is the mysterious voice, that spoke to you. You can refer to me as God, I''ll give you the rules of this world, and the general concept of it as well. This is a pre-recorded message. You cannot forget anything, it will be ingrained in your memory, nor can you contact me during the message. So, let''s begin: the rules are as follow:" "1st rule:You must not be discovered by beings of another world, if you are, you die." "2nd rule: You can kill people from this world, but so can the other contestants of the world. Of course, you can be killed by them also, But if a person from this world does kill a contestant, that person gets the contestant''s powers and enters the Game." "3rd rule: "This world follows a ranking system of adventurers; it goes all the way towards legends. Since you haven''t started yet, you get the rank of a newbie, which comes with no power-ups whatsoever." "4thrule: "With each increase in ranking, you and the other contestants get a little power boost, although it can''t usually affect the world, if it does, you might have to face grave consequences." "5th rule: You cannot tell anyone of these rules, nor that you know them; if other creatures from this world figure that out, you get eliminated." "That''s pretty much the rules, now the general story:" "There are two major Empires: the Shadow Empire, and the Light Empire; as you have guessed, the Shadow empire works with powers related to shadows, and the Light empire works with powers related to light, both are constantly at war with each other. Then there are other countries that are either neutral or support one of these empires. You are going to be the one to find out the story of this world, it is for our pleasure after all."A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. "Well, that''s the end of the general rules, and the long story short: you''re not one of those residents of either of the big empires, the empire you came from is the Devere Country." "You shall assume the life of a person named Lee Devero, 18 years old, black hair, black eyes. He is the prince of Devere, and it was the Light Empire that brought down that country, so it is your duty, to reclaim that land, and help the Shadow Empire to destroy the Light Empire." "Major storyline characters might be other players that are like you but they are hidden, of course, if I so desired, I''ll put you together to fight each other, it all depends on the game master''s mood, that is me, isn''t it!? By the way, each participant in this game, has a special power, what power do you want to have? Just say it and it''s yours." The Lost Soul thought back to the last memories Lee had: He was in a house talking happily with his family, that is his mother, his dad, his older brotherwhen out of nowhere some men, their faces covered with hoods, attacked them with Light Magic. He instantly recognized who attacked them: it was the Light Empire. For what reasons he didn''t know, but he did know this was the last moment he saw his family. They protected him until the end. He saw all of them die by their hands. He swore he will kill them all and he will doso with the power of their worst enemy, the Shadow Empire, and the power of flames. He will master both to create Shadow flames! Lee Devero answered, "I want the Power to control Shadow Flames that grow alongside me." A Robotic voice spoke into his thoughts: "-Power Recognized- transmitting input!" The power works like this: "My body gets all hot, and shadows come through my hands, all uncontrollably like a beast; to control, I sealed a part of the power and only get to use a bit of it now, at my current ranking." The Mysterious voice started speaking again. "I see, so you choose Shadow Flames as your power, quite interesting, how are you going to make use of your power? Looking forward to seeing it, contestant#4701, otherwise known as Lee Devero. Goodbye and hope, you live long enough, if you want any answers, that is..." Chapter 2 Shadow Flame After all, that information Mysterious voice came out and that told me to call him God, I was stuck at that place still refreshing all the information, in my head and going through all of it over and over, with the recorded memory that God left me. Afterwards, I checked my power: Shadow Flame rank 0 grows alongside user cant be stolen. Normal form fireballs 600oc tennis ball size with the speed of 30 m/s. (effect grows with power-ups) Mp cost 10 each Powered Form fireballs 600oc basketball size, with the power of causing an immobilized limb for 1 day, (effect grows with power-ups) side effect unable to do anything for 10 minutes, (effect lessens with power-ups) with the speed of 40 m/s. (effect grows with power-ups) 50 Mp each Lee speaks to himself:"So that''s my power huh, seems pretty good so the effect will increase with each rank, wonder how strong it would be at the final rank, can''t wait to see it." "Let''s see if there any more info, I need to know guess il need to know some basic stuff, about me lets try this" "-open stats-" Stats: Lee Devero Health 200/200 MP 100/100This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. Strength (07) Magic (05) Agility (07) Defense (05) Luck (04) Magic Defense (05) Vitality(05) Abilities: Shadow Flame (rank 0) special ability effect??? "Ehh what is this special ability, can''t even see what it does, guess its sort of a passive skill, although I don''t know how to trigger it, oh well guess with rank ups, it will show me more info about it, later so my stats are quite average, my agility and strength seem quite good." "Some other basic info is that my name is Lee Devero I came from the country Devero I¡äm a Fallen Prince from the ruined country my story is to helpShadow Empire and eliminateLight Empire." "This body is 18 years old with black eyes, black hair, medium long straight, and this body is tall and thin. Well, I say this body but I took over it, so its mine now seems like the previous owner, enjoyed dark clothes can¡ät say I don''t so il keep the fashion the same." "Other than that this body is a pretty good stat wise guess, il get out of this forest and move on to Shadow Empire." "although il need to know a bit more of the terrain, of this world to figure out its territory, and see if I don''t cross paths withLight Empire just yet", "will need to look for some adventurers, or something like that to know of this world, and see how ranking up works and so on, il have to formulate a plan. "A fake identity and try to contactShadow Empire, if I''m at Light Empire territory well I''m pretty screwed in terms of territory, I can still make it like I am fromLight Territory, if that''s the case best would be close toShadow Empire." "Well that''s the plan but where do I go, from here hmm I wonder, guess il go through this road of trees, and see what happens, whatever happens, happens." Chapter 3 A New Meeting After walking towards the trees, around fifteen to thirty minutes passed, when I heard a sound it was loud, like an explosion that came from one of those muskets. So I went along the road, very quietly and followed the sound, when I got closer towards it I could hear some vague noises and two silhouettes one female the other male. "Why are you doing this brother?"''The female''s voice quavered as she seemed to clutch her leg. Lee spotted the beautiful girl, to describe her she was a human and cat hybrid, had the body of a girl around eighteen or nineteen years old, had black cat ears, long straight black hair, round silver eyes, and a black tail. Lee got a bit taken aback by how beautiful she was. Although that only lasted for two to three seconds, until he spotted the other person was nothing like her but had the same characteristics of her black cat ears and a tail. Probably her relative, but instead of being female, it was a male with a scar on his face, and at this moment he looked like he could kill anyone just looking. He held a musket in his hands; most likely what had inflicted the wound on the female''s leg. Lee snuck a bit closer as to hear the conversation with more clarity trying to keep quiet, attempting to not be spotted. ''The man with cat-like features chuckled darkly looking down at his apparent sister "Did you think I didn''t prepare this wonderful plan of mine, my dear little sister?" The girl''s face was twisted in pain, shaking as she looked up at her brother, "W-what? You planned this?" the man with cat-like features continues "Yes my lovely little sister I planned this the day you were born." So when our father would pass down the crown I could usurp the throne and take you as the queen to take care of our wonderful children!"This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it The girl spoke with terror in her voice, "What? Are you crazy? I would never be able to love you! You''re my family, my brother, not my lover!" I could never agree to something like this. I would rather kill myself right here then do something so perverse!" The man with cat-like features Spoke "Why? why don''t you accept me?" Fine if that''s the case, il bring you by force, and discipline you''re body so it cant ever defy me. The Girl almost fainting, from hearing her brother saying that, she knew things would turn out dangerous, so she tried to run. But got hit by a gunshot on her leg, so she couldn''t run as well now anymore. Lee Thinks to himself "so from the way they were talking about, I think they are not fromLight Empire norShadow Empire." "Seems like a country of humans and cats, does not seem like they''re harmful although, they do have some royalty issues, however. " Well, for now, I should probably save the girl, and see if I can get any info out of her, or maybe she lead''s me to her kingdom, and then show me around the world as it is well, for now, I should save her. Things are getting a bit dangerous for her. While Lee was speaking to himself the brother got closer to the little sister. The crazy Neko laughs with evil intentions and says: "Let us have fun little sister" the little sister frightened answers: "Noo.. please don''t do this Older Brother." the crazy Neko speaks: "It is too late little sister il make your body obey me!" Afterwards, the crazy Neko started taking her clothes off, touching the boobs, of her little sister, with his cold hands. The Little sister froze at that moment and was almost giving up on her fate. That is until Lee burst out of the shrubbery drawing upon his newfound ability and let the flames pour out of his palm. The flames went all too fast for the two individual''s to process as the cat-like man was consumed in the darker than black fire. Not even a moment later a blood-curdling scream resounded through the forest as the crazy man started to burn. The man with cat-like features was burning alive. Throat burned thoroughly the man reached out for his sister screeching, "What is this! It hurts, hurts, hurts¡ª!" Lee stood there, while the man was trying to reach her, precious little sister. When he was finally almost reaching her Lee, reacted he would let him reach his little sister. if she wasn''t so afraid and begging, with her eyes to make her brother, not reach her, so I fell into that temptation and did what was needed to be done. Then I got closer and sent a kick flying towards the man burning with the force of 7 strength. Making the man with cat-like features flying, against a cliff. Probably broke some ribs, after that since he got unconscious. With that strike, the flames disappeared from his body. Chapter 4 Completed Achievement? Afterwards, in dealing with crazy Neko, Lee turned his eyes, towards the female Neko wich "this is getting confusing so il just ask her name" is what Lee thought. Lee asked: "Are you okay"? Neko Girl says: "thank you for saving me, and thank you for not killing my brother." Lee answered: I don''t mind helping you, but I do have my own objectives. Neko Girl glared at Lee, and asked: "What do you want?" Lee shrugged it off and avoided the subject: "never mind that don''t you, need some clothes, I can see your boobs you know. After saying that Neko Girl, got really embarrassed, and angry so she slapped Lee, with all her strength. Lee asks: "Ow what was that for?" Neko Girl just glares at him and receives his spare of clothes. Lee asks: "So can I know your name now, it is really tiring calling you Neko girl." Neko Girl answers: "my name is not Neko girl, I am a princess from the kingdom Lunaria, and my name is Lydia Lunare." Lee answers: "I see that''s a nice name." Lydia Asks: "what about you what is your name?" Lee Says: my name is Leo Devon. Lydia says: "that''s a good name nice to meet you, Leo Devon." Lee asks: Lydia can you walk right away? -points to her wound- Lydia bitterly says: "no I can''t really walk right now." Lee asks: "do you want to wait until it gets better?" Lydia Answers: "Never mind about that, so what are you gonna do to my brother?" Lee surprised by that question: "asks why do you care?" Lydia Answers: "Of course I care because he''s my blood-related brother." Lee says: "Even if he tried to Force himself on you?" After saying that Lydia falls to the ground, remembering what just happened recently. Leo Gently says: "sorry for making you remember, that but what I plan to do to him is my own business." Lydia Answers with a Weak: "okay..." Lee waited until Lydia fell asleep, and walked towards the cave. After arriving at the cave Lee walked a couple more steps until reaching a place, where it could be seen a man, with the characteristics of a cat and a human, yes indeed he was Lydia Brother, stuck in chains unconscious.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. Lee Shrugged, "So he isn''t awake yet huh" Lee Gets closer to Lydia Brother, and uses his shadow flame, in his weakest version, where it just slightly makes a sunburn. After the Shadow flame, reached Lydia Brother¡äs Body, he immediately waked up and yelled. Where am I?, Who are you? and where is my sister? Lee ignored his questions and asked a question instead. Do you remember anything? Lydia Brother took a bit of time before answering him. Lydia Brother responds to him: "Remember what?" Lee thinks to himself: "just as I expected someone was controlling him." Lee turned his sight again to Lydia brother, and asks Whats your name? where are you from? and what were you doing before? Lydia Brother began to speak my name is Lennon Lunare, my age is 24 years old, im from the kingdom Lunaria, and im also the oldest prince from the kingdom Lunaria. What was I doing before I was. with father on a meeting with his guest and... Lee a bit taken back surprised asks: "whats going on?" after saying that Lydia Brother, couldn''t say anything more because he died, from the pain inflicted into his brain, when he tried going deeper, into his memories about that guest. Afterwards, Lee Went deeper into the forest and buried Lydia brother there. Before going back to Lydia Lee speaks to himself. "So as I expected someone was behind the scenes and is probably a player like me." So if im not wrong this kingdom shall be the kingdom, that will interfere with the main story, so it would be a smart idea to use Lydia, to control the kingdom of Lunaria. To get closer toShadow Empire and fulfil my duties, from the previous owner of this body. After saying that to himself Lee was going back to where he left Lydia, but he noticed something on a tree he went there for further inspection, but when he reached close to it, his vision darkened he couldn''t see anything. After 5 to 10 minutes Lee got his vision back after getting his vision back he couldn''t help but be surprised he was in the same place before he was sent into this world he looked surprised but still with a calm face on he asked: "God, where are you?" But what answered him back was a robotic noise. "Welcome Contestant #4701 you were summoned here because you completed an achievement." Lee Suprised asked: "Achievement?" Robotic noise continues: "yes achievement when you complete an achievement, you get sent here and receive your rewards." Lee asks: whats the reward? Robotic noise answers him: "The achievement you cleared was d rank the lowest you can get the highest is sss rank." Lee asks: "What did I do to get this achievement?" The robotic noise answers him: "you cleared the achievement to save the princess from the kingdom Lunaria." Lee talks to himself: "Hmm what a pleasant surprise so I got an achievement, interacting with the NPC¡äs, of this world. The robotic noise continues: "the reward for clearing this achievement is to get one of your questions answered." Lee asks: "How do I increase my rank of the adventurer then?" The robotic noise Answers him: "to increase your rank of the adventurer, you¡äre gonna need to do sidequests, for the people of that world, or interact with the main story, or fight off other players." Lee says: "I see so that''s all for the achievement right?" The robotic noise Answers him: "No you can still get +1 stat point to your stats choose where do you want that stat point to go." Lee answers: "I want it to go towards my Magic." Robotic Noise Answers him: Input confirmed. -Transmitting Magic- Lee felt refreshed, towards the process. When the robotic noise Talked to him, one more time he blacked out again. -Transmission has done- Goodbye Contestant#4701. After 5-10 minutes Lee gets his vision back, the first thing he sees is the tree that he got close too by curiosity. After Lee woke up of his daydreaming, he said to himself. -Open Stats- Stats: Lee Devero Health 200/200 MP 100/120 Strength (07) Magic (06) Agility (07) Defense (05) Luck (04) Magic Defense (05) Vitality(05) Abilities: Shadow Flame (rank 0) special ability effect??? Lee talks to himself: "yeah I did have an increase in Magic." "And seems like magic affects my MP that¡äs good to know." Afterwards, Lee makes his way towards the place he left, Lydia sleeping. Chapter 5 What is PR47? Lee Makes his way back to the place he left Lydia, after around 5 to 10 minutes, he gets there and checks on Lydia, to see if she¡äs sleeping or is awake. Lee Says to himself: Hmm seems like she''s sleeping, so I guess that place that God brought me time runs differently there. Afterwards, Lee sleeps on the rough ground, he tried to sleep but couldn''t so he thought about everything that has happened to him and starts to connect some dots. After 10 to 20 minutes of thinking, Lee went to sleep. -The Next Morning- Lee wakes up, after waking up he sees Lydia still sleeping. Lee talks to himself: Since she hasn''t awakened yet, il go around this area to see if I can find something out. Lee goes towards the trees and finds a River, Lee then thinks about Lydia Wound and says: better take a supply of water in case she needs it for her wound, Lee found a cup near the river. Lee says to himself: Since no one took it, no one wanted it so don''t mind me il grab it to fill it with water from this river, but as soon as he grabs the cup. he finds himself inside the river, Lee thinks to himself: how did I end up in the river by touching the cup? Lee tries to move out of the river but he cants he''s stuck there whatever he does he cant get out of that spot. Lee thinks to himself: since this is not working out I guess this is illusion magic hmm if I remember correctly according to the memories of this body, illusion magic is an ancient art that is lost, so that means I''ve stumbled upon an ancient spell. Lee thinks a plan up: So to wake up from this illusion magic il try to use shadowflame on myself it will hurt but I hope it does the job Shadow Flame weakest version activate. In a moment a flame with shadow characteristics appears, in his hands where he grabs the shadowflame, and drills it into his body doing so, Awoken him from that illusion. When he Came back to he notices, that he is where he was before he tried to grab the cup, and the cup left the same. Lee Talks to himself: That was close I would be stuck in that illusion forever if it wasn''t for shadowflame. then a weird sound ringed in Lee¡äs ear¡äs Lee surprised What is going on? The sound makes a voice and transmits images following a black robbed person talking: "Greetings to all contestants, enjoying your time in this world?" "The organizers of this event were generous and are gonna give a personal robot to each one of you that has the ability to check all the stats of the creatures from your current rank."Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. "But of course, this is not a perfect product so it is only useful until C rank adventurer its still something to help you players alongside this journey, and since this is given to every contestant it would be very easy to identify contestants with this so the organizers of this event especially prepared anti-tracking devices against this." "So be assured it cant be tracked however we can¡ät say about special abilities good luck contestants and have a good Game." Afterwards, Lee stood there still dazed about what happened, about 1 to 2 minutes a strange box appeared beside him. He opened it to receive his personal robot it was small around the size of a bee, Lee asked how to operate it and afterwards, he and every contestant received how to operate the robot. Lee pushes the button and commanded "awaken" the robot entered his mind, and spoke with a cold robotic voice. "Hello, Master, I am the PersonalRobot#47." Lee speaks to it inside his mind: "That''s too long, il make it so that your name is PR47." The Personal Robot#47 responds:"Okay master I will go with that name." Lee responds:"Stop calling me master call me Lee." PR47 responds:"Okay Master Lee." Lee ignores him, and asks him a question:"can you identify that cup?" PR47 goes towards the cup and scans it -Identifying cup- PR47 answers Lee:"Yes Master its a cup made of iron with the power of making anybody touch it stuck in an ancient illusion spell." Lee answers:"hmm I see is there any way to grab it without the illusions making me lost me lose my way?" PR47 answers: Unknown Not enough data. Lee talks to PR47 inside his mind:"PR47 can you turn invisible?" PR47 answers:"it is a possibility master." Lee says:"Then do so, it''s much easier than having someone watch you, and know im a contestant, as well show me the map of where I am currently." PR47 answers:"Okay Master." -Turning Invisible- -Showing Map- Inside Lee''s head appeared a map with a black dot, that showed his location and a blue dot, that showed Lydia location. Lee Talks to himself:"This is Much more Convenient, now I don''t have to walk around completely lost all the time." Lee talks to PR47:"Can you make a Passage, towards Lydia inside my head?" PR47 answers loyally:"Yes Master, its possible do you want me to initiate it?" Lee answers:"Yes do so." -Creating Passage- Inside Lee¡äs Head now appeared a Passage, showing how to reach Blue Dot aka Lydia. Lee Speaks to Himself:"interesting this is much more convenient, and I guess if I give it more knowledge, it will get more useful later on." Lee Asks PR47: Is it possible to give you more knowledge, and how do I do the process? PR47 answers:"it is possible but only when Master reaches rank C, and how to do the process you need to record it in your memory." Lee answers: So only when I reach Rank C huh, well let''s go towards Lydia now. Afterwards, Lee goes towards the passage PR47 created and reached Lydia in 10 minutes. When he arrives he notices Lydia was searching for him. Lydia Sees Lee and slaps him:"Why did you leave me alone, Idiot." Lee upon arriving got slapped, but he didn''t do anything to her he just accepted the slap and said in a low voice:"Sorry I went to look around this area." Lydia Sees That he feels sorry that he left her alone so she lets him go with that and asks: "did you find anything Leo?" Lee answers:"Yeah I did find a river, but only that." Lydia answers shocked:"that river is famous for trapping villagers in it didn''t you get trapped?" Lee answers:"No not really." Lydia Says:"Well I know this place better than you so il guide us through to the town called Barley Town." Lee asks:"Is that town safe?" Lydia answers:"there have been some rumours about it but generally it should be safe Leo." Lee thinks about it for a bit then answers:"Okay guide us through then." Lydia asks:"Leo what did you do about my brother?" Lee Thinks before telling her:"he woke up and tried to kill me, so I killed him, before he tried to kill me, and buried him, close to some trees." Lydia Froze, at that moment the words, that came out of Lee''s mouth was too cruel. Lydia cries for her lost brother, but after 10-15 mins, they continued their journey, ignoring eye contact with one another. Chapter 6 King of Frogs? Lee follows Lydia towards a small cave. Lydia Speaks:"Leo we gonna camp the night here, and continue on the journey tomorrow." Lee answers:"Okay I don''t mind." They maintained a large distance from each other by sleeping to the other ends of the cave. Lydia Warns Leo that if he crosses the line she won''t go with him. Lee Promises to Lydia not to cross the line. -In the middle of the night- Lee wakes up and gets closer to Lydia. Lee makes his own arguments in his head:"Im just gonna touch her fluffy tail nothing more, PR47 whats the probability I will be found out?" PR47 answers loyally:"Master the probability is very high that you will be found out statistics show that at least 70% you will be found out." Lee was stunned:"How is the probability so high PR47 make a scan on Lydia." PR47 answers:"Okay Master beginning the scan." -Scanning- Stats: Lydia Lunare Health 120/300 MP 80/80 Strength (05) Magic (04) Agility (09) Defense (03) Luck (09) Magic Defense (04) Vitality(08) Abilities: Night Vision (This skill is normally in all cat-like figures it lets them see everything clearly at night.) Only activates at Night and doesn''t use any MP. Slash (basic slashing attack can do around 30 to 80 damage) MP cost 20. Pray catching (While fighting increase all stats by +1) can only be activated once in each battle mp cost 15. Lee Gasped at the stats, and the abilities now he understood where PR47 was coming from pure stats and skills. Lee gave up on his idea and went back to sleep. -The Next Morning- Lee and Lydia set off again towards the town, along the way they found some edible berries and fruits. So they stopped for a moment to refill their bellies. While they were eating Lydia was trying to avoid Lee he didn''t want to talk to him at all. Lee understood that so he didn''t say anything. After eating they continued towards the journey. 5 hours later it was starting to get dark again so we were searching for a place to camp the night.The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. Lydia found a cave near a Lake, so we went to check it out. We didn''t sense anything in the cave so we entered it, afterwards we went to explore it I explored the SouthArea, and she explored the West Area. I went to check the South Side and found some crystal-likepebbles I picked up a few of them and checked the rest of SouthArea didn''t find anything so I went back towards the entrance. When I reached there I didn''tfind Lydia so I went to explore West Area to try to find her. Afterwards, I spoketo PK47 in my mind:"PK47 can you locate Lydia?" PK47 answers: Yes Master Lee answers: "Good then show me the map and where she is and create a passage from the entrance to her." PK47 answers: "Okay Master." -Showing Map- -Creating Passage- Afterwards, a map appeared in Lee¡äs head he looked for the passage and turned to go towards it to find Lydia. 10 to 20 minutes he reaches Lydia, Lee sees Lydia running for her life and asks "What are you running from?" Lydia sees Lee and she runs towards him after reaching Lee she told him to start running if you don''t wanna die. Lee Sees her running off ahead while he stayed there wanting to know whatever was following her. Afterwards, A creature that looked like the king of frogs was following Lydia but then noticed Lee and changed his target to Lee instead. Lee looked like he was panicking outside but inside he was talking to PK47 to scan the Giant frog. -Scanning Giant Frog- King of Frogs Health ??? MP ??? Strength (??) Magic (??) Agility (??) Defense (??) Luck (??) Magic Defense (??) Vitality(??) Abilities: ?? ?? ?? Lee looked at the stats and asked PK47: "PK47 why isn''t any of his stats showing up?" PK47 answers: "Master its because he''s a higher rank than you so you cant look through it." Lee upon hearing PK47 answer ran for his life, towards the direction of the entrance to the cave. Upon almost arriving at the entrance the frog speeded up almost catching up to Lee before he got out of the cave. When he got out Lydia was there catching some air, from runningfor her life because of the Giant Frog. Lee catches some air then asks Lydia "Where did you find that monster?" Lydia answers: "I found it on a pound inside the cave." Lee asked Lydia: Did you wake it up? Lydia answers: Yes I did I was washing my face, when I heard a sound within the water from the pound, suddenly I saw the giant frog coming towards me, like I was food so I ran towards the entrance, then I found you and tried to warn you,but you stayed there so I just came out of the cave to wait for you, if you haven''t come back for half an hour, I would ''ve been gone from here. Lee ignores the part where she almost left him here alone and continued: "Anything else?" Lydia answers:"No I didn''t find anything else there what about you Leo?" Lee answers:"I found some crystal-like rocks in there." Lydia Amazed asked me to show her the crystal-like rocks. Lee opened his bag and grabbed a few crystal-like rocks and showed it to her. Her eyes were sparkling when she saw them then she told me what they¡äre used for. Lydia speaks:"This crystal-like rocks is used for creating the desired weapon with a few bonuses attached to it." Lee Speaks:"I see that''s good to know." Lee takes back his crystal-like rocks into his bag. Lydia speaks:"well lets camp out the night and continue the journey tomorrow." Lee agreed and slept with Lydia again separated one in a tree the other in another. -The next Morning- Lee Follows Lydia Around 3 hours later Lydia speaks:"We¡äre almost there Leo." Lee answers:"Finally were almost to the town." Lydia Corrects Lee:"It is not any town its Barley Town." After saying that Lee starts seeing Barley Town, he checks around the people living here the elderly, the young ones, and the adults were all sweating from working out in the farm where Barley grows and is cultivated. Lee and Lydia reach the Town¡äs Gates where they needed to pay a fee to enter the town. Lee and Lydia paid the fee and entered the town since they were tired from the journey they looked for an inn so that they could rest their tired bodies in a real bed. After finding the Inn they got into their separate rooms and slept the night. Chapter 7 Adventure Tavern -The Next Morning- Lee wakes up and goes down to get breakfast, there he sees Lydia eating breakfast so he went towards her and waited for breakfast to come, after 5 minutes the breakfast came to the table it was bacon and fried eggs and a cup of coffee. After Breakfast Lee asked Her: "So we reached the town what are we going to do now?" Lydia answers Him: "We are going to take a ride towards the expedition that is coming soon towards The Canyon." Lee asked: Why? Lydia answers: "Because The road, to the Canyon, is close to the road, to the Lunaria Kingdom." Lee asked Her: "So How much time do we have until that expedition?" Lydia Answers: "We have 2 weeks until the expedition starts, but we do have to sign up in a week." Lee asked Her: "So its fine if I do go my own way during a week?" Lydia Answers: "Yes its fine well meet again here in 1 week until then goodbye Leo." Lee answers: "Goodbye Lydia, well meet again in a week." After saying goodbye to Leo, Lydia goes to a dark hallway and uses a strange object and contacts the Lunaria Kingdom. afterwards, a voice is heard: "Good to see that you''re alive my daughter what about your older brother wasn''t he with you?" Lydia Responded:"Good day Mother I have some good news and some bad news which one would you want to hear first?" The queen quivering her voice commanded Lydia: "Whats the Bad News?" Lydia Forced to answer, answered: "The bad news is that older brother is dead." The queen after hearing that piece of news started tearing up but still asked with a commanding voice: "HOW?" Afterwards, Lydia speaks of what happened between her and her brother. The Queen almost fainting still asked: "How did he die?" Lydia Answered: "That I don''t know but I can say who killed him." The Queen asked: "Who was it?" Lydia answered:"His name is Leo Devon he looks like he has 17 or 18 years old has black hair; black eyes; medium long straight hair; and his body is tall and thin."Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere. The Queen memorising how Leo looked like still asked: "What is the Good News?" Lydia answered:"The good news is we might have found a suitable offering to the Lunar Goddess." The Queen delighted asked: "Is it the boy that you were talking about?" Lydia answered:"Yes Mother from what I can tell he has the perfect body to be an offering to our goddess." The Queen asked: "How do you plan to bring him here?"

Lydia Answered:"After the Expedition il bring him here." The Queen nodding and said: Goodbye My precious Daughter do come home soon I miss you. Lydia Answered: Goodbye Mother, I miss you too. Afterwards, the communication ended and Lydia disappeared from that dark hallway. -Inside Lunaria Castle- The Queen is talking to her servants: Prepare some guards, and our strongest members to capture the traitor Lydia and her companion Leo. The Guards Answered the Queen: "It shall be Done immediately majesty!" The Queen Continues talking to herself after the guards Leave "You think that you can fool me, Lydia. Lennon wouldn''t ever do something like lust over her little sister, you tried to seduce him with your looks. So you could be the new queen to govern the Lunaria Kingdom well im not going to let you do that my Daughter." All this happened without Lee, having the slightest clue of whats happening. After saying goodbye to Lydia, Lee looked for an adventure tavern. He asked some people around, after 5 to 10 minutes he reached the tavern. He opened the doors to the tavern, and there he saw multiple adventurers, some drinking others talking, and some taking on missions. Lee walked towards the counter and saw a lady around 20 years old she had brown eyes; brown hair, and looked tall had a good figure all around. The receptionist Lady asked Lee:"What can I help you with?" Lee woke up of his daydreaming and answered:"I want to register as an adventurer and take on the missions." The receptionist Lady took a closer look at Lee before answering:"You can be an adventurer but that requires you passing the adventurer test." Lee asked:"Adventurer Test?" The receptionist Lady continues:"Yes adventurer test to take it on you need to pay a fee of 2 silver." Lee Gave the money to the receptionist Lady and answered: "I want to take on the adventurer test." The receptionist Lady answered:"Alright you can take on the adventurer test but I should warn you only 5 out of 10 people have passed it." Lee asked:"When does it begin? and in the meantime can I do missions here until it begins?" The receptionist Lady Answered:"It begins in 3 days and yes but you can only do missions with D rank." Lee said:"Okay can you tell me any good missions around?" The receptionist Lady Answered: "hmm Good missions for D rank, let me check hmm we have this mission that requires you to kill 10 slimes, and another mission that requires you to kill 5 wolfs which one do you want?" Lee asked:"can¡ät I take more than 1?" The receptionist Lady answered:"Yes you can but 2 at max since your not an official adventurer." Lee answered:"then I want both." The receptionist Lady said:"To confirm that you killed 5 wolfs and 10 slimes just bring this along." The receptionist Lady gave me something like a black cube. The receptionist Lady continued:"this here will tell us if you cleared the missions." Lee said goodbye to the receptionist Lady and went towards the forest. Chapter 8 Shadow Wolf -In the forest- Lee is talking to PK47 inside his mind:"PK47 Can you locate where wolfs and slimes are?" Pk47 Answered:"Yes Master showing right away." -showing the map- A map is shown inside Lee¡äs head the black dot represents him and these red dots represent the enemies. Lee asked PK47:"Is it possible to distinguish which enemies are wich? from the map" PK47 answered: Yes Master. -Updating map- The map showed up again but this time in the red dots there was a name for them. Lee looked at the map to see where the slimes normally are. Lee found them on the east side of the Forest, so he went towards there to fight off the slimes so he can complete his mission. After 10 minutes Lee arrives at where the slimes are supposed to be. He looks around but can''t find any so he goes closer towards a cave and finds 5 slimes there since he doesn''t know how strong they are he asks PK47 for their stats. Pk47 answers: "Okay Master." -scanning slime- Slime a beginning monster very weak master can beat it easily. I see then il go there and face them. Afterwards, Lee arrived close to the slimes the slimes saw Lee and instantly attacked him Lee dodged their attacks and used a normal shadow flame in each one of them. 5 minutes later all the slimes are dead. the slimes dropped some eyeballs and some kind of green slimeball. After that Lee looked for more slimes and killed 5 more. Afterwards, PK47 told him:"Master has completed a mission 10/10 slimes killed." Lee then looked at the map to find out where wolfs are and he found out they are on the west side of the forest. and so Lee went to the west side of the forest it took him 20 minutes to reach there. Afterwards, he looked for the wolfs to kill for the mission. He found some near some trees first he asked PK47 their stats.Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. PK47 answered: Okay Master. -scanning wolf- Wolf "A beginning Monster master can beat it easily." Lee was going to kill all the 5 wolfs here until he noticed there was a slightly different wolf there he looked like the leader of the tribe so he asked PK47 his stats: PK47 answered: Its possible Master but cant display all the information. -scanning dark wolf- Shadow Wolf Strength 5 Agility 5 Defense 5 Magic Defense 5 Luck 5 Abilities: Bite (deals 50 damage) ?? (??) Shadow Claw (controls the power of shadows to make a bigger claw and attacks deals 100 damage) Lee Saw the stats of the shadow wolf so he decided to first kill all the other wolfs before moving on to the boss. He killed all the wolfs 1 by 1 when they separated from their tribe. At the end the Shadow wolf was alone. Then Lee made his move, he approached the Shadow Wolf and kicked him. The shadow wolf went flying, Shadows roiled and bubbled, shifting up and stopping the wolf mid-air, and it used shadow claw, flinging blades of shadows at Lee. But he was ready and dodged. Then he cast Shadow Flame and sent it towards the Shadow Wolf, the shadow wolf dodged. Then the Shadow Wolf stopped, growling menacingly. The shadows around it started to curl up its legs and back, adding more bulk. he was getting bigger and had more shadows than before. So before that shadow wolf ended his transformation Lee bit his lips and started chanting the powered version of Shadow Flame. while he was chanting the shadow wolf ended his transformation and was going towards Lee and was thinking ''its now time to kill this annoying insect who killed my pack.'' But when he reached Lee, Lee looked like a demon when he sent that powered Shadow Flame towards the Shadow Wolf. The Shadow wolf tried to dodge, but couldn''t it, was too late the shadow wolf. It instantly started burning and couldn''t move towards disabling Lee''s leg. He tried crawling closer to Lee but he couldn''t, the shadow wolf just waited to die, he regretted not being able to kill this human who killed his pack. Lee couldn''t move due to using powered shadow flame so he had to wait out the 10 minutes cooldown before he could anything else. -10 minutes later- Lee could move again, he went towards where the shadow wolf was. When he reached there he saw that the Shadow Wolf lost his life, But he did see an item shinning in him it was a tooth pendant the rarity is unknown he needed to get an appraisal to see the true stats of the item other than that he got some claws and fangs as well from the drops. After killing off the Shadow Wolf PK47 talked to me: "Master Another mission is finished 5/5 wolfs killed, as well master show those claws and fangs to the receptionist lady she might give something extra." Lee agreed with PK47, afterwards, he moved out of the forest and went back to the town, then he reached the adventurer tavern after waiting for his turn in the line the receptionist lady said: "You again? im not gonna give you any more missions until you are done with those two." Lee answered: "Im done with those missions as well as here see this claws and fangs." -Lee gives the claws and fangs to the receptionist lady- The receptionist Lady was amazed: "You killed a Shadow Wolf?" Lee answered:"Yes" The receptionist Lady said: "I can give you 10 silver for these claws and fangs." Lee answered: "Okay Deal" The receptionist Lady paid Lee and said: Heres the rewards for clearing the missions. Slime Mission 1 silver Wolf Mission 1,50 silver Then PK47 Said to Lee: "Beep Master your adventurer rank gained some points" Lee talked inside his mind with PK47:"Is it possible to see how many I need and how many I got?" PK47 answered:"Yes Master." -Showing Adventurer Rank- Adventurer rank D 20/100 for D+ After receiving all the rewards Lee was Beat for today and went towards the Inn he stayed the last time paid the inn owner 5 silver so he could stay here for 1 more week. Lee now currently had 7,50 silver with him. Lee thought to himself:''I need to get more money and more adventurer points 3 more days until the Adventurer Test.''
