《Kindled Spirits》 Chapter 0: Kindled: A Life Forgotten Location: Somewhere in Eurasia Date: April 15, 2071 ¡°Good morning, it Paul from your daily news at 5. It¡¯s a new day of the year folks and it¡¯s gonna be a hot one. The average temperature at noon is 37 degree Celsius and will drop down to 20 at night. Grab your umbrellas for it will only get hotter as Kindled: A Life Forgotten is going to be sold at local game stores near you. People have already camped out the night at stores only to get copies of this very game. Tourists from all over the world are also there to buy first hand copies of this bad boy. Andrea is here for more details¡± ¡°Yes Paul I¡¯m here at the local game center and I¡¯m telling you it¡¯s crammed in here. Tourists and locals are camping out the night only to get limited copies of this game. At 6 am the store doors will be open and copies of the game will just fly out of the shelves in no time¡­ Kindled: A Life Forgotten is an indie game produced by a small group of programmers in 2069 and boy, do the game go through a lot. It first started as a school project but was quickly recognized by many. This led them to develop it into a real game that can change the way people see at gaming¡­ Let¡¯s ask some early birds on what they feel about the release.¡± ¡°You sir, what do you think about Kindled.¡± ¡°Kindled is a great game produced by great guys. Everything about it is great, I never seen a game that thrilled this many people in years.¡± ¡°You have anything else to add?¡± ¡°Nope, just wanna say hi to the programmers of the game. You guys rock! Just do more and be more! Rock on Dudes! Can you sign my butt? ¡± ¡°Sir, t-thanks for your beautiful answer.¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am, what is your reason of camping this early for a game?¡± ¡°It is a great present for my boy Tommy. I just hope that they¡¯ll make more games for everyone. If only this store had a VIP room¡­¡± ¡°Thanks you ma¡¯am¡± ¡°As you can see, this game has attained fame and fortune in a small amount of time. Back to you on studio Paul¡± ¡°Thanks A-¡° That¡¯s enough news for today. It was also getting boring faster and faster as they was all talking about is the game. I just wanted some daily news not this crap. sigh ¡°Equinox, get me my coffee. I will be off to work, I¡¯ll be back in a month.¡± ¡°Sire, maybe you could just lay down for a bit, you are stressing too much¡± ¡°I wish it could be like that but work is really tiring, not to say the one month around the world venture today. Pack my bags then I¡¯ll be on my way.¡± If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.¡°Okay sire.¡± Hi! Didn¡¯t see you there, my name is Andromeda Fushigiwa a son of a European and a Japanese. As you can see my father is from Japan, and my mother, well, she is from France. I was a gaming veteran back in the ol¡¯ days where I am really glued to one until I finished it. The only thing is life, life follows you where ever you go. So I quit the gaming industry to have a job. My job isn¡¯t far from gaming as I am a programmer at the age of 22. Excuse me for I have a venture to catch. ¡°I¡¯ll be back Equinox.¡± ************************* One fast month later¡­ ¡°I¡¯m back Equinox. What¡¯s the news in the past month?¡± ¡°Well sire, they launched the game into outer space after you left. And it been hailed as one of the best games already¡± ¡°Okay, thanks. Just make me some espresso or something. I¡¯m tired¡± ¡°Earl grey it is.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be up in my room¡± Already! In just a freaking month! This game man, this game, I¡¯ll just open the television to see what is up. ¡°Open¡± ¡°-es we are here at NASA to look at how the ¡°Galaxy¡± is doing. It is now beyond the Milky Way and is now heading straight for Andromeda. We are expecting alien life in about a week or so, so be on the lookout.¡± ¡°Thank you Jill and now for the daily news¡± This is just too boring¡­ ¡°Close¡± ¡°Sire, here is your tea. I¡¯ve also brought food because maybe you are hungry.¡± ¡°Thanks Equinox, I¡¯ll sleep the day for I am really tired working my ass out in the past days.¡± ¡°Have a good night sire.¡± I¡¯ll just sleep today. My body is really tired, it just cannot move on itself as fast, maybe it only need a good night sleep¡­ Morning of May 17, 2071 *chirps from birds* ¡°Uhhhh, Equinox, get my daily coffee.¡± *sound of nature* opens eyes ¡°Equinox?¡± Where am I? Why am I here? A walkie-talkie captured my eye ¡°Hello? Anyone there, this is Albert.¡± ¡°Hello, Albert. Where are we?¡± ¡°Dude, can¡¯t you recognize this? We are in Kindled.¡± ¡°What?!? I barely know anything about the game.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll fill you in, I¡¯m the Kindled champion for fudge¡¯s sake.¡± So I am here in Kindled, how? I don¡¯t know. Why? I don¡¯t know either. I just need to listen to Albert and adapt. How did we turn up here? Chapter 1: A Glitched Sword? ¡°You start with your starting items: An axe and a pickaxe.¡± ¡°Yes it¡¯s here¡± ¡°Just get some wood and stone, make a house. Then after that go find some spacedrops. After that go craft some items to make you survive. Beware bosses might spawn, don¡¯t worry the first one is easy.¡± ¡°What is a spacedrop?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just like an airdrop but from space!¡± ¡°Thank you for filling me in! So this is goodbye?¡± ¡°Nahh, It is only for now. And may the kindled spirit be with you my friend! Just make sure this don¡¯t run out of battery.¡± Okay first on the list, make a shelter. Albert said that the crafting menu will be displayed if I said ¡°Menu.¡± Just make sure to make a shelter before the third day because some monster will start spawning. I love that it has a grace period before the game really starts. Now for some wood. *chop* You got x10 wood *chop* You got x14 wood After a boring time I finally had enough wood to make a primary home. ¡°Menu¡±

So I¡¯ll just press this? Craft a Shack? Yes No +1 Shack Now an option to where to put it opens, now I just need to find a good place of where to put it. I explored the area near me hoping to find a good place to place this shack. And I did, a plain filled with flowers. This is open meaning I could put more structure near me and as an added bonus: decorations. Confirm Placement? Yes No Now to find some spacedrops that Albert said to me. He said that it would be dropped at random locations at noon. Better find it before someone else does. It¡¯s now noon judging by the sun¡¯s location. It will drop anytime soon, anytime now. I heard something rumbling in the atmosphere. Maybe that is it, a sign of spaceships dropping a spacedrop. Out of nowhere a box with a parachute materialized and is headed straight near my house. I¡¯m a lucky bastard, a really lucky bastard. Now to see what it holds. I opened the box to see what does it holds. It¡¯s filled with food and water and a bunch of items. Can of Food x 10 -For healthy skin, basic food source. Water Bottle x 30 -Water¡¯s vital for the body, so this thing is really needed Flare Gun x1 Weapon/Tool - Get back you raiders! I can burn you alive! Flare x 13 Ammo -Now this is what I call flame-grilled. Produces a feint light when fired Ice Pick x1 Weapon/Tool +6 Melee Damage -A weapon for picking out your nose. Also good at getting stone! Why does this contain so many goodies? This is just too great, I also noticed a sword within the box 404 Not Found Weapon +N Melee Damage +N Ranged Damage +N Defense +N Agility +N Mana -Cannot find item description. Special Skill $#Miasma*# -Can easily kill other people with ease @#Dragonforged)$ -Got ancient dragon blood within it. )!Poison Machine@# -Inflicts potent poison damage in every strike. @#N)(# -Cannot find skill description. Traits Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. @(#(*!(_#( (@#)(_!($*()* *(#&!)#&)! Is this a glitched sword? Or maybe it¡¯s really a powerful sword in disguise. I better keep it for its special skills. Most notable is the poison machine trait that be lethal at combat. I¡¯d better keep combat at a minimum for I do not like to kill. It¡¯s getting dark, I¡¯d better craft a torch ¡°Hey Albert, how do I make a torch?¡± ¡°You need leaves and wood¡± ¡°Oh okay. How do I get leaves¡± ¡°Just pick em¡¯ out of the trees¡± So I started getting leaves for my torch that I will place near my house, and also inside as well. ¡°Menu¡±

Woah! Nice! More crafting recipes! I¡¯d better see what they do. Chapter 2: You are being watched... What?!? +1 Makeshift Spear Finally, something to hunt with. A spear with some decent attack damage to some animals, I could use the sword, but it could poison the animal, that seemingly will poison the meat. Game logic man, do not question it. Some updates to my shack had been added. After two days my shack now has a crafting bench, a makeshift furnace and a bed. Monster also started spawning when this day started, making exploring much more dangerous. Tools have also been added to my crafting window, sad that it¡¯s only stone tools not iron. Albert said that I needed an anvil for that and an anvil needs so many iron that it¡¯s really a pain in the head. Noon is almost here, I need to find that spacedrop. Maybe something cool drops with it. Attention Survivors! Legendary spacedrops will be scattered all over the world What? Legendary? ¡°Legendary spacedrops are inbound, get it while you can. They have some cool items within it.¡± ¡°Remember Green is common, Orange is Uncommon, Red is Rare, Purple is S. Rare, and lastly Grey for U. Rare. Happy Hunting!¡± Legendary spacedrops have been dropped A spacedrop have spawned within my sight. Too bad it is landed in the forest, I¡¯ll get it. Maybe get something worthwhile in it. An hour passed before I got to it, the parachute was tangled in the trees making it much more harder to get. But alas, I finally got it out. Now to check what it holds. Can of Food x 10 -For healthy skin, basic food source. Water Bottle x 30 -Water¡¯s vital for the body, so this thing is really needed Cheytac .408 cal Weapon +475 Ranged Damage -A silenced sniper.

Traits Invisible Leviathan Weapon +150 Ranged Damage -A bow of a once powerful archer, bestows power to whom who seeks to use it. Special Skill Call of Nature -You are now one with nature. The Eagle Eye -Attacks from this bow will instantly seek targets Infinity -You don¡¯t even need arrows. Phantasm -You are now a figment of the imagination. Shot speed increased, invisible at the same time. Paranoia Ingot x20 -An ingot made from pure darkness. It still glows with power. Iron Ingot x30 -A basic ingot for crafting. T-this is just too much loot. What do I even do with all this? I will get thi- A monster appeared as I got all the items in the space drop. Feral Hound HP: ? MP: ? SP: ? -You don¡¯t have enough knowledge of this species. A feral hound appeared out of nowhere. I need to test out the Leviathan, he will the first customer of this beast. I pulled the strings and aimed, this bow is light and is really easy to use. I let go of the string and an arrow popped out of nowhere and hit the hound. It ran away, I think it just left to get some allies. I better run back to home before night arrives. If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. I arrived just at the nick of time. Night arrived fast this day, monster are everywhere. I was getting ready to sleep when Albert radioed me. ¡°Hey, I got new batteries for this thing. Anything valuable you got in you spacedrop or you did not get one.¡± ¡°I got a orange bow and a purple sniper rifle and staff.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the name of your loot.¡± ¡°I got a Cheytac sniper, a Cometfall, and a Leviatan bow.¡± ¡°Did you say you got a Leviathan? That thing is like all powerful. You lucky bastard!¡± A grim force is watching you¡­ Prepare for battle ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°What¡¯s what?¡± ¡°A message popped up for me it said A grim force is watching you.¡± ¡°A boss is within your range, it will arrive at morning, the next day. Maybe you get an epic armor if you kill it.¡± ¡°What is the name of the boss and how do I kill it?¡° ¡°Bosses here are randomized. Easy bosses are tend to spawn first, don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The next morning A new day! Now to craft that anvil¡­ ¡°Menu¡±

Void Armor +30 Armor +100 Hitpoints -An armor made from pure darkness. Powerful yet elegant. Traits Dark Son Vision+ I think that will do! All set for that boss, all I need is to wait¡­ Chapter 3: Boss! Morning the next day¡­ Here we go! I am all geared up, I got my Leviathan, my sniper, and my cometfall. Only need to find a suitable place to battle that boss¡­ I found a valley near my shack, I decided to stage the battle there for more flare. I need to radio Albert to see what kind of boss I am dealing with. I also need to find its weakness and its strength. Lightning and Thunder roars through the skies¡­ The skies became cloudy all of a sudden. Cumulonimbus clouds fill the heaven as thunder and lightning ravages through the land. I think this one is an electric-type boss. ¡°Albert, it said ¡°Lightning and thunder roars through the skies¡­¡± Any ideas of who it is?¡± ¡°You got a bad one¡­ I think he is going to be tough for all the items you got¡­¡± ¡°Wait tough? I got a rare bow and two uncommon weapons. There is no way he can get to me.¡± ¡°His name is Amp, the thunder knight. Good news is, he got about 10k HP. Bad news is, he is can throw back your magic and ranged damage with double the damage. Hope you got a good sword.¡± ¡°Ummmm, about that¡­¡± ¡°Just get something that can damage him, do not open your defenses. Also speed is the key in battling him, he is a fast attacker.¡± ¡°Okay¡­ When will he spawn?¡± ¡°Maybe the next hour or so, just make sure to dodge his lightning blasts. They can 1 hit kill a weak player¡­ Good Luck, Albert out.¡± ¡°W-wait¡± That is bad¡­ The only thing that is decent on him is the spear. If only I had a sword¡­ Then I remembered that glitched sword I found in the first day on this world. Seems like that is the only thing strong enough to kill him. I went back home to get the sword in the chest. Why did I even forget about it? If only I could be more faster¡­ I had gone back from where I came from, this time I got the sword. Now to get to the valley before he spawns in. It was a pleasant walk until¡­ Widespread havoc is being done. Lightning rains down from the heaven¡­ Behold the Thunder Knight Amp! Lightning is raining down at random areas. Fire burning everywhere, he is a nature killer. I looked at his data to see how much hits he can endure Thunder Knight Amp HP: 50000 MP: 1000 SP: 2500 -The thunder knight Amp¡­ A powerful knight that controls the skies, he is capable of producing lightning to rain down on his foes. That is not 10k HP. Now let¡¯s see what I can do with this bad boy. I charged at him with swords a blazing and swung my sword to see what it could do. The moment before the sword touched him he quickly made a shield to bounce me out. He is cunning at powerful at the same time. Neat! This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. Looks like I need to survive his attacks first before I can hit him. He casted lightning that is attracted to me, it was fast, but not fast enough. After he called a lightning strike on me he swung his sword so fast that he made a shockwave heading straight for me. I dodged it and then run around him hoping to make an entrance through his defenses. After his shield went out I struck him with my glitched sword. He dodged it, I swung it again, hoping for a hit but ended up in a miss because he dodged it again this time teleporting behind me. He readied and attack, made a shied around him and charged. It looks like he is gonna use his ace up his sleeves. Lightning struck in a circular fashion that made a big circle of fire appear. He jumped and slammed the ground and swung his sword about seven times. ¡°I can¡¯t dodge that!¡±I said as I tried to find a way of the mess. I thought that was the end until the armor special skill activates. It put me behind him, dodging all of his attacks. I swung my sword and it finally hit him. The intense thunderstorm subsided¡­ Amp was defeated! What the hell? It killed him in one hit?!? How can a +N sword kill a 50k HP boss? That is just broken, too broken in fact that I¡¯ll be using this sword from now on. Sword has leveled up. New Skills added. *(#@*)#!)&#)!#$(! Weapon +NNNNN Melee Damage +NN Ranged Damage +NN Defense +NNNN Agility +NN Mana -A sword that is from the Gods, is overwhelming with power.

(#Lightning Caller)@ -Calls lightning to rain down on the foe. Foe cannot move for 3 seconds. Traits @(#(*K(_#( (@S)(_!($*()* *(#&!M#&)! Umm yeah¡­ That is just broken. How the hell could this thing level up? It also now has a description. Can I release the energy that this sword has? I just keep thing to myself or risk being raided for this sword. I just noticed that it absorbed Amp¡¯s energy, it has now a Lightning caller skill. Weird¡­ Now for the loot that he dropped¡­ ¡°Hey dude! What happened?¡± ¡°I killed Amp, he was tough¡± ¡°You should just get his loot tomorrow, night is with us my friend.¡± ¡°Already?¡± ¡°When you battle a boss time is warped and therefore goes faster¡­¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯ll just get it tomorrow.¡± SC 1: Umm, Yeah... Note* Sorry for late upload. Been busy in the past few days. ¡°Wake up sleepyhead! It¡¯s time to see what you got!¡± ¡°It¡¯s still dark, why are you waking me up this early?¡± ¡°Ever heard of despawning? That will happen to your loot if you don¡¯t get it before sunrise.¡± ¡°sigh You always make me do some life and death situations.¡± ¡°Monsters don¡¯t spawn as much as night. Just go to Amp¡¯s body to look at your loot.¡± ¡°You are a really cruel man Albert. My batteries are almost out because of you.¡± ¡°Hello? Amp, electric-type boss! You can get batteries from Amp.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll just pack up¡± Albert is such a pain in the ass. But this is our life now and I must adapt to become more and more powerful. Maybe I¡¯ll get a good item from Amp. I arrived at the valley that we fought on. It was now darkened because of the fire that spread during our battle. I looked into the loot and this is what I got: Battery x10 -Maybe this could power my lightsaber. House Recipe -Read to see what is needed to craft a house Lightning Rod Structure -Put this on top of your home and generate power! Wait. There is electricity here at this game? Cool. Also a house recipe, let me just look into that. House Structure Recipe -x100 Cement -x200 Wire -x20 Iron rods Holy! That is SO many things to craft. So wiring is present to the house too. That will get my life easier, if I can craft one. >.< I put on the new batteries for the walkie-talkie and radioed Albert to say the news. Maybe he got new news for me too. ¡°Hey Albert, got new batteries for my walkie-talkie. Any news around?¡± ¡°Got nothing sorry, but change your walkie-talkie frequency. Maybe you could pick-up something.¡± ¡°K, got that.¡± I did what he said and changed the frequency of my walkie-talkie hoping to get something important. Like a supply drop or something, it was a hefty ten minutes of changing till I got something. ¡°Hello? Anyone that could hear this¡­¡± ¡°Hello? I¡¯m Andromeda, I currently can hear you right now.¡± ¡°I¡¯m currently stuck in a dungeon with a high level boss, maybe you could help me out and we¡¯ll share the loot.¡± ¡°Sure, what is your coordinates?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t got a teleporter? Maybe you couldn¡¯t help me out, this is a 100k HP boss we are talking about here.¡± ¡°Just teleport me there, I can help you¡± ¡°If you die I got nothing to do about that.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll just equip some items, I¡¯ll contact you again if I am ready.¡± I can¡¯t believe it, I found a girl. I suck at talking to them though. But maybe she could give me a teleporter if we killed the boss. I can upgrade my glitched sword as well. I equipped my armor and got my sword and bow, looks like I¡¯m ready This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. ¡°Ready!¡± ¡°Teleporting!¡± With a flash was teleported to the dungeon where the girl was hiding. I saw the boss, it was gigantic, more like a colossus from the old game Shadow of the colossus. The girl said to me that to defeat it you need to find it¡¯s weak spot and stab it 10 times for even the most powerful sword can¡¯t kill the boss in one hit. I saw its weak spot at its shoulder¡­ Now for that strike that will kill it. She stopped me, she said that it is a suicide mission if I go out alone. She will get the attention of the boss and I will land the decisive last blow. ¡°On three.¡± With in a flash she teleported in front of the boss to get its attention, it worked. I climbed onto its shoulder and attacked it with my glitched sword. It barely made damage to him so I stabbed and stabbed like there is no tomorrow. Just before dusk, we killed it successfully. ¡°You got guts¡­ Even with softcore armor and weapons you killed this thing.¡± ¡°Wait softcore? What is softcore?¡± ¡°You are not a player? I will explain it to you. Softcore is like easy mode for this game with the most weakest weapons and armor. You cannot get anything good from that stage of the game.¡± ¡°So I¡¯m basically on the first phase of the game?¡± ¡°Yes. Leveling, Guilds, Expeditions and many more are unlocked after you go through all the first bosses of the game. Just because you impressed me, I¡¯ll give you every loot that this boss dropped.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t keep it?¡± ¡°I got better ones in my mansion. That will contain a teleporter so you could teleport home. Good luck out there kid.¡± ¡°He-¡° She¡¯s gone in a second warping to an unknown place. That¡¯s weird¡­ Albert did not say this to me, is he a faker? I¡¯ll just take a look at the loot to see what¡¯s up. Teleporter Tool -It¡¯s in the name idiot. Hades Enternum Weapon +50k Magic Damage +10k Ranged Damage +5k Agility -Made in the depths of the earth, this demonforged gun is a killer¡¯s best friend Special Abilities Death¡¯s Touch -This gun does extra damage to humans Abyss -Locks enemies into a never-ending abyss Hades Enternum -You are now invisible. x10 damage when not moving Killer Instincts -You become a killer by heart. Can sense enemies around the user. Deathly Reanimation -Destroys enemy¡¯s weapons and armor, gives the user a Death buff Traits Silenced All-powerful Insane Summon Mount: Wyvern Mount -Fly in the skies with this sickly mount! Umm¡­ I¡¯ll just teleport home and call this a day. Maybe I could sleep peacefully now. See ya tomorrow! Chapter 4: Preparing for Battle! I learned many things from that girl inside the dungeon, I also got great loot too. Why won¡¯t Albert say that I¡¯m only in the first phase of all this mess? Is it because he was a faker, or really a weak player pretending to be a powerful one. Light and dark spirits are waking up¡­ Prepare for battle! Another boss is coming? That is good news. Especially now I have a new gun, I could easily kill it with one hit. I looked for a bit to see what I could use at this battle, as usual I will bring the glitched sword as a main melee weapon, the armor I¡¯m rocking did not seem to be half bad either, if I can land a shot to it with the Hades Enternum it could easily kill the beast. The only thing that baffled me was the words that it used in the feed. ¡°Reanimations¡±, which means I¡¯m looking to battle multiple enemies at once. There must also be a catch to them that I do not understand, a secret technique that they use to confuse the enemy they are attacking. I must find someone knowledgeable in this kind of stuff. I don¡¯t want to talk to that bastard for the time being for he succeeded to fail me. With him out of the way it seems like ¡°she¡± is the only one I could talk to. I got my walkie-talkie and tried to talk to her. Maybe she will answer me and give me tips at the same time. I cleared my throat and talked to the walkie-talkie¡­ ¡°Hello, can you hear me?¡± I repeated my opening phrase for about 4 times until I got a response from her. ¡°Why are you calling me this early in the morning?¡± ¡°Huh, it¡¯s noon here. What are you talking about?¡± ¡°Oh right, you don¡¯t know anything about the game. You know time zones right, I¡¯m currently in a different time zone than yours.¡± ¡°Oh, sorry. I was gonna ask some questions about a boss.¡± ¡°What is the line that it showed in the feed? Anything about light and dark or about a grim force?¡± ¡°It was about light and dark. I defeated the first boss, Amp¡± ¡°Oh, good for you. I¡¯m currently sleepy right now so I¡¯m gonna cut to the chase. You are looking to battle two bosses at the same time, the names are Prisma and Uber. Both have different powers and have different play styles. Prisma is the oldest one and is the most powerful. She can use light magic and plays like a mage in a RPG she barely moves but her skills can cover her weakness. Uber on the other hand is a dark magic user and plays like a hybrid of a mage and a knight, she is fast and powerful at the same time so watch out.¡± ¡°Their most powerful move is called Cataclysm. They will work as a team and trap you inside a little area. Go too far from the middle and you¡¯ll get killed by Prisma but go too close and you¡¯ll get ripped to pieces by Uber. Got that?¡± The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. ¡°They are the last bosses before entering phase 2. Be warned, they can be a hassle sometimes when you can¡¯t make-up what are they going to attack so be on the guard always. Good luck!¡± ¡°That is a more solid explanation than I thought¡­¡± Now I just need to find an area capable of that I can battle the two. Maybe that valley again? No, I need a much more open area¡­ Then an idea popped up in my brain. ¡°Last question.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Can the two fly?¡± ¡°Yes. Why are you even asking that.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Nice, they can fly. Then I¡¯ll just stage the battle up there where movement is not limited to up, down, left, and right. ¡°Come to think of it, I remembered you say you are a programmer.¡± ¡°Can something come out of that?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll figure that out eventually. But now, just sharpen those skills¡± What the hell? Why did she even bring that little thing out in the conversation? I¡¯ll just do what she said, maybe I could use some of my programming knowledge to use. She never failed me so I¡¯ll just trust her. Now I¡¯ll just equip this¡­ Equip Wyvern Mount? Yes No Now to use that mount, and try to make a feel for it¡­ Cannot use Mount. Do not have rare steak in inventory. I need a rare steak. Do all mount needs to have something in their inventory? That sucks! Come to think of it, I need some proper food now cause all I am eating is the canned foods that is from the spacedrops. Maybe something good can mix it up. I got my Cheytac Sniper and went out in the wilderness to hunt some fresh meat. I roamed the forest hoping to find something to munch on. It was a horrible day, heck, I did not even encounter monsters whilst I was out hunting. I was about to go home until I saw a big group of deer. I aimed my sniper and shot a deer, it would be overkill if I brought the Hades Enternum here and the bow attracts attention. It¡¯s good that I can see a use for this weapon even if this is a weak one. I shot three more deer until I decided that it is too much. I went to my kills and looted their bodies, gaining deer skin and venison in the process. I went back home and crafted a Campfire and cooked dinner. It was a very productive day if you ask me. Tomorrow I¡¯ll spend the time before they spawn to getting used to the Wyvern. Chapter 5: The Sisters of Yin and Yang The twins are too fast! They are too powerful for me. They even nullified my gun¡¯s damage! How did it have to come to this! Uber¡¯s gonna land the final strike near my heart. This is it! I¡¯m gonna die!!! *Slap!* ¡°Wake up sleepyhead! Time to train you like there is no tomorrow! What are you even dreaming about?¡± ¡°W-why are you here?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you remember? You asked me to train you defeat the twins.¡± ¡°Whatever! Just let me get my weapons¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting outside.¡± What happened? I distinctly remember being stabbed by Uber, was it just a nightmare or a glimpse of what to come. Enough of worrying I got to get my weapons and train before they arrive, or else that will really happen to me. I looked at my chest and got the Hades Enternum. It will be my main weapon for we will be battling in the skies. I also got the glitched sword to help at keeping them at a distance as well. ¡°Okay I¡¯m ready!¡± ¡°You said you got a Wyvern mount, and a Hades Enternum so they will be you go-to weapons for the battle. The twins are all about speed so you better have an aim of a sharpshooter. The two share similar weapons but have different degree of power. Prisma uses a staff while Uber have a scythe. They use it similarly, first they back up, and then, they lunge a sword or a magic bullet straight at your face.¡± ¡°Try to get in your mount and fly up to the sky. I¡¯ll be summoning disks that you need to hit.¡± I got up in my mount and done everything that she said. She shot a disk out of her gun (Game logic man) that I failed to hit. It was moving fast and the bumpiness of the mount make it much more harder to hit it. We tried and tried until I got the hang of it. She decided that it is enough to kill the two, she gave me three health potions to use if, only if I get destroyed by the two. ¡°Good luck, and may the Kindled spirit be with you!¡± ¡°I never got to ask your name.¡± ¡°Oh right, how rude of me. My name is Mira, and you?¡± ¡°Andromeda, Andromeda Fushigiwa.¡± ¡°Nice name you got there Galaxy! Anyways smell ya later!¡± She teleported back home while I get to the job at hand. I went back home, drink some water and waited for the feed to appear. The twins think you are just a mere mortal. Show em¡¯ what ya got! Here goes nothing! With a flash of light that signaled that they are in my area I summoned my mount and flew into the skies. I readied my gun and aimed for the warrior first, her powerful attacks and speed makes her a good first target. The Twins: Humans are such a weak race. Especially you mortal! We¡¯ll show you true power! With that marked the start of the battle I aimed my gun which Uber dodged. She was fast alright but not as fast as my mount! We danced in the skies as light and dark flashed through the land as we battle to our deaths If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Uber teleported behind me and tried to stab me I let out my sword and parried her every slash. I was about to back up until a wall of light appeared behind me. So this is what they are planning? They are tougher than Amp I¡¯ll say that in the least! The Twins: Fool! You, a mere mortal tries to oppose two goddesses? We¡¯ll end this, right here, and right now! A Sphere of light suddenly appear which signaled their most powerful move, ¡°Cataclysm¡±. I just need to get in the right spot before getting ripped to shreds by the two. Mira also included that in their most powerful move they are the most vulnerable to attacks. Pretty ironic if you asked me. I aimed my gun at Uber and shot her out of the sky! Oh, we are in the skies¡­ Now with only Prisma left the only thing that I need is this sword. I need to level this thing up, for it can be a versatile weapon later on in the game. I slashed and slashed as I moved closer to Prisma, while also dodging all of her attacks. When I got closer I slashed her with my sword until she disappeared out of thin air. I was victorious! The Twins: We will be back! Count on it! Huh, they said that they will be back. No loot to be found either. I was all just a waste of time and resources! The sky above you clears. You are no longer affected by the twins curse. Your head starts to get blasted by unknown memories, you quickly recognize it as a memory of the past. A part of the world¡¯s secret¡­ Andromeda has achieved Curse Breaker King : Looks like another newbie broken the curse. Ultor : You only just started your journey little one, a path of mystery is still ahead. Rein: Ahahahahaha! Noob! Ophelia: Stop that Rein¡­ Mira: Welcome to the big game kid. Is that global chat? I thought this game had nothing to do with that. It only focuses on survival at the first part but becomes a real RPG after you defeat the first 3 bosses. That¡¯s a cool idea! Chapter 1: The start of the adventure ahead ¡°Hey galaxy, you¡¯ve unlocked leveling, quests, guilds and many more.¡± ¡°What is this galaxy thing all about! Seriously it¡¯s kinda irritating¡± ¡°Your name is a galaxy right? That¡¯s why I¡¯m calling you that.¡± ¡°Just give me a breather okay?¡± ¡°Okay, sleepyhead.¡± SC 2: House Upgrades It¡¯s been a month after all people on earth arrived at this game. Many has grown accustomed to this game and began to live a peaceful life here, many says that there are even towns that has been built by people on this game. Pretty radical if you ask me! Of course there are the daring types that seek to find adventure. Like me, I want to explore the world and what it got to offer. I looked at the chat in the game to see what people are talking about in the world until one caught my eye. Someone is looking for a boss hunt, they promise to give 50/50 of the rewards from the boss. I thought to myself how weak am I in this world, how do I get a title in the game and how do I equip it. This all seems to be nonsense for me, why are people trading almost everything, from food to tools maybe they are just looking a way to get by. Also what is the monetary system in this game. I pondered quite a bit as I lay down in my little bed. Maybe I need to make a bigger house, it¡¯s time to leave this little shack and go big. I just need to find out the crafting recipes for the required items. I went to my chest and tried to find the blueprint that I found a while ago. House Structure Recipe -x100 Cement -x200 Wire -x20 Iron rods How to find this? Maybe I should ask Mira to see how to craft all of this. ¡°Are you awake?¡± ¡°What do you need Galaxy?¡± ¡°I need to know how to craft cements, wires, and iron rods.¡± ¡°You are finally building a bigger house?¡± ¡°This old place needs to be upgraded. I need electricity once in my life!¡± ¡°You really are a weird one huh? Alright take some paper and pencil and write this down.¡± ¡°Papers and pencils don¡¯t exist here¡­¡± ¡°Just kidding, don¡¯t you get a joke?¡± ¡°Sorry¡­¡± ¡°To craft an iron rod, you need to heat up your iron in your makeshift furnace and then head straight to the anvil. That¡¯s all there is to it, not much. For wires, you just need 2 copper and rubber. That will get you 20 wires so you don¡¯t have to craft much For the cement, you need some gravel, just head up to your crafting bench and craft it. 1 is to 1 in that crafting recipe.¡± ¡°While we are at it, how could I craft a fan?¡± ¡°You need 10 wires, 10 iron, and a mini motor.¡± ¡°How to craft that?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll just give you one.¡± If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. ¡°Okay, thank you!¡± Now that I know how to craft a house it¡¯s time to get going! I grabbed my ice pick, some torches and headed to a cave to find some metals! On my way to a cave I encountered a monster that is similar to a bear. I think this one is a powerful one! Great Inferno Bear HP: ? MP: ? SP: ? -You don¡¯t have enough knowledge of this species. I need to know about the species to look at its stats? The hell is up with this game? I grabbed my gun and start to fire at him. The bear dodged every shot that fire to him. He seems really pissed off at me. In the middle of the fight the faker, Albert called me. ¡°Yo dude, what¡¯s up!¡± ¡°Not the right time Albert! I¡¯m fighting a Great Inferno Bear!¡± ¡°Oh, it¡¯s a bear with 500 HP. That monster is hard to kill! Your fighting an uncommon monster right now.¡± ¡°Well it¡¯s no match for 50k damage gun!¡± ¡°Dude, how you get that? There is no 50k damage gun in the game!¡± ¡°Have you even defeated the twins?¡± ¡°Umm¡­¡± ¡°Just say the truth to me, have you ever heard about towns in this game?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°You are a faker are you?¡± ¡°Sorry¡­¡± ¡°Just tell the truth next time please.¡± In the midst of our talking I finally killed the bear, this one is hard to kill even with a powerful gun. Now to find that cave! I found a decent sized cave after my hours of going through wilderness. I went down in the cave and mined and mined until I have enough resources to make my house. It was dawn when I got of the cave because I exhausted its resources. I teleported back home and quickly went to craft everything I need, I spent hours crafting everything from wires to concrete, and the iron rods(in that time he got some gravel too). And then I decided on where to put the house, should I place it near my shack or far from it. I decided to put it near the house to make sure the shack serves as a crafting station now. I put a lightning rod in the roof to make sure it get some energy. After a decent amount of crafting I finally created a bigger home and finally have electricity! ¡°This is the life¡± I said as I lay down in a couch I crafted while I sit back and enjoy the gust of wind from the fan. I went outside and looked at what I made, it was a working home with electricity. Maybe later I can upgrade this house with solar panels or wind mills to make sure electricity stays at a maximum. Now onto what to do next? Chapter 6: Out of the dark Note* I went and changed some thing up, hope you like it. -0-0-0-0-0- ¡°Hey, sorry about the other day¡­ Could you teleport here because I got something big to show you¡­¡± that¡¯s that came out from the walkie-talkie. That bastard is just trying to befriend with me again, or maybe he really got something big. ¡°Just wait there I¡¯ll be on my way. Just say your coordinates and I¡¯ll find you there, teleporting does not work for areas I have not been yet.¡± I let out as I sighed and headed to where he said he was. It was far, very far but good thing that I have a mount that will let me fly through the skies. If this big thing does not impress me, I will never talk to that bastard again. As I headed to where he said he was, I let my wyvern fly onto the area himself. After a bunch of riding you can get mounts to do the job for you. Whilst he flew onto the unknown area, I looked at the feed to see if something big is up. Andromeda has achieved One with nature Hmm, look like I got a title for being one with my mount. I guess I better look at what this thing has to offer. Maybe I¡¯ll discover something in the process. ¡°Menu¡±

Hey! Why is the crafting menu gone? Why did this thing replace that? Also why is this just basic stats? I swear this is the crafting menu yesterday. Maybe Mira has some knowledge about this¡­ I changed the frequency to match hers and called her. ¡°Hey¡± I said to open up the conversation, ¡°Why does my menu display my stats? Also why does the menu just display only the basic stats?¡± Silence filled the air. Is she sleeping or is she just ignoring me? Well, maybe she is just outside and left the walkie-talkie at her mansion. Maybe I¡¯ll just get onto the problem at hand. The wyvern landed on field near a dense forest and looked at me. We¡¯re here? I changed the frequency again to talk to Albert. ¡°We are here, don¡¯t disappoint me.¡± I said with a sarcastic tone. I know that bastard all too well. He always disappoints me in the month that I been in this game. I wish my opinions of him changes right now. ¡°Do you see a structure just ahead? If not just head into the forest, I¡¯ll send you my coordinates.¡± His voice just sound amazed right now. What is he even saying? Even when in my mount I just see a really dense jungle as far as the eye can see. Did he found a secret dungeon or something? I unsummoned my mount and headed straight to the jungle. I looked at his coordinates and saw that he was about 10 minutes away from me. What is he even doing deep into the jungle? As I went through the forest I saw many passive monsters roaming around. Many were big, many were small but all was a sure eye-catcher. The wildlife here amazed me, even in a game they captured the beauty of mother nature which is just spectacular. When I was near his location something captured my eye: a light carved into a tree. I took a closer look just to see more of it, following a direction to Albert¡¯s location. I followed it and was amazed to see that I marked a path leading to somewhere. How did he even discover this? Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. I followed the trees that led me to Albert¡¯s location. He was inspecting the tree, maybe it captured his attention or something. ¡°Hey Andromeda, did you find this lighted trees odd?¡± he was correct. The trees are just odd and really pop in this dense jungle. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s pointing to something but what?¡± We followed the trees until they ended in a wall of flora. Why are the trees even leading us here? Is this a trap? It¡¯s not because if it¡¯s a trap we could have been killed minutes ago. Plus the trees looked man-made just in their nature. ¡°Hey Andromeda, you got a torch in your inventory right?¡± he asked me. I was baffled on what he is trying to accomplish here. This is a jungle! Just a little flame will set an intense wild fire. ¡°Try burning the wall in our front.¡± ¡°What are you even talking about Albert? Burning this wall will trigger a chain of even and will end up burning this whole place down to the ground.¡± I tried to convince him that it¡¯s a hazard but he countered me with something I really did not expect. ¡°The leaves of this flora wall are not created by nature.¡± What did he say? The leaves are out of place? I went to touch it and I was shocked. It was true, the leaves are not what they seems. It looks like they are made of synthetics and was man-made. ¡°Maybe the creator of this wall wants humans to burn it down.¡± My gut tells me to burn the wall down so I trusted it. I grabbed the torch in my inventory and tried to set the wall, it did not worked but I think we triggered something else. Just by trying to set the wall on fire made a secret entrance appear on the side of the wall. ¡°What the-¡°¡°-hell?¡± was the words that came out our mouth. Who in the right mind can create this contraption? And so we went through the tunnel and a flash of light greeted us on the other side. When the light faded we did not expect what to discover: A city bustling with life covered under the trees that make the jungle a jungle. It was so beautiful, people created this city on the hopes that they merge the beauty of nature and the power of man. It worked! ¡°Look who the forest dropped! Are you travelers from afar?¡± a young girl greeted us with a pleasant look on her face. ¡°Welcome to Lagoomore! A city merged with nature!¡± so Lagoomore is the name of the place huh. Pretty cool if you ask me! While Albert went with the young lady for a trip round the city I explored the city by myself. Whilst I was exploring I heard a call on my walkie-talkie. ¡°Hey galaxy sorry for the late answer, you need to level up to see more of your stats, also the crafting menu will be displayed when near a crafting bench.¡± ¡°Hey Mira, do you know a place called Lagoomore?¡± I asked her hoping to get a decent answer. ¡°The secret village of Lagoomore? Well yes, but that was just a myth, many people say it was just a myth for it cannot be seen.¡± I was shocked, people cannot discover this city? So this is how hidden this place is? ¡°Well would you believe me that I and my friend found it?¡± I told her with glee. ¡°I can teleport you here.¡± I added too. ¡°Impress me galaxy¡­¡± Chapter 7: A city covered in a natural veil I teleported Mira to Lagoomore. It looks like teleporting can work on other people if the one with a teleporter is in the area of teleporting. ¡°Welcome to Lagoomore!¡± I told her as she appeared in front of me. She was shocked, speechless, and amazed at the same time. ¡°I-I c-can¡¯t believe this! You found the hidden city!¡± I told her to look around, see if she can find anything that is worth her time. While the two look around I came across a library of some sort. It was beautiful! The whole library was filled with a plethora of books and magic books. I went to the items section to see what useful items I can farm. After a brief time on reading books I went out to find an item shop. I went around the city only to find the Mira in an armor shop. ¡°Galaxy, maybe you need some upgrades on what you are wearing. I¡¯ll cover the cost in thanks for bringing me here. Just find an armor set that will catch your eyes.¡± So I went into the shop to find something decent, Mira added that armor sets here have a rainbow name because it is unique. You can never find it anywhere else in Kindled. So I went on, finding an armor set that will suit me and I came across this: Le baiser Sir¨¨nes Armor +500 Armor +1000 Hitpoints -An armor designed for Adventurers. One of the most ornate armor sets. Special Abilities Battleforged -Synchronizes well with battleforged weapons -A +1000 to all weapon stats with battleforged The Call of the Sea -Enemies will fear your deadly yet graceful techniques Opaque -You are now invisible, but allies can see you. Umbra -Added bonuses when invisible. Survivor Instincts -When at 1HP, becomes regen increases dramatically and become invulnerable for 10 seconds -Available again after a minute Traits Shielded Attacks Magic Damage Up Ranged Damage Up Melee Damage Up Unique Bonuses +1000 to all basic stats ¡°Mira this armor caught my eye¡± I called out to her. She looked at the armor and looked at me ¡°You got a good eye for good items. That¡¯s one powerful armor, not better that what I have though.¡± She said to just stand right where I¡¯m standing as she buys the armor. Why is she good to me all of a sudden? This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. ¡°I got you that armor in exchange for you discovering this place. Anyways where is your friend? ¡± Oh right, I haven¡¯t seen Albert for quite a while since he went with the little girl. ¡°I¡¯m gonna go back home, see ya later galaxy.¡± So she gone back home to her mansion and left me with my new armor. She promised me to keep all of this a secret. So I went around, hoping to find Albert. I came across a tavern filled with adventurers of all ages and surprise, surprise, I found Albert. ¡°Hey Albert! Ready to go home?¡± I shouted as I went inside the tavern. He noticed me right as I went barged through the doors in this little tavern. ¡°Hey Andromeda, look at the requests at the notice board. Maybe you can get some money there.¡± Huh, notice board? So I looked at the notice board and saw the requests that some adventurers made. There were all sorts of requests to fighting monsters, exploring and even raids. I looked to see if anything that is worth my time. There was nothing except really hard requests and raids. I can¡¯t do any of that without someone to trust but that will be a problem since I prefer to hunt alone. A lone wolf that stalks its prey. So I sighed and looked at Albert. He seems very happy here, maybe I should leave him be. ¡°Hey Albert, it¡¯s been a long day. I¡¯ll be sleeping in for the night now. See ya tomorrow.¡± I said to him as I grabbed my teleporter. ¡°I¡¯ll be staying here today. I got money so I¡¯ll just stay in the hotel.¡± I teleported back home and went to bed. Nothing beats fatigue than a good night rest. -0-0-0-0-0- Chirp*Chirp*Chirp* Uhh, did I oversleep? I looked upon the server time and realized it was almost noon. I quickly get up and went outside. What am I even gonna do today? ¡°Dude, come here quick! The tavern is readying for a boss battle. Maybe you should go and participate.¡± Albert caught my attention again. This time it was for a boss battle, with this weapon and armor I could survive a boss battle with if I know when the boss will attack. I teleported to where Albert is and spoke to him. ¡°They said the boss will drop items depending on the raiding players. Less players means more rewards every person gets. A decent team of boss raiders consists of about 10 to 20 players and it seems that the tavern have that amount in the bag. You should go and sign up right there.¡± So I went to where Albert pointed me to. I told the one who is in charge that I will sign up for the boss raid. He looked at me with confusion and said ¡°Kid do you want to die? You are only level one and you want to kill a raid boss? Are you stupid, brave or both?¡± Right¡­ I only started at phase two and I haven¡¯t killed monsters in that time. I was in a standstill, maybe there is something I can convince him to let me join the boss raid. ¡°Can I join if I prove you my weapons and armor can do the job?¡± He nodded and so I went to my inventory and for the first time ever let someone see the glitched sword. He was in shock and cannot say anything, am I too stacked for a level one player? He looked at me again and said ¡°I-Impossible how could you have such good items at level one? If this is your weapons then I welcome you to the raid. Raid starts tomorrow morning.¡± All right, raid boss here I come!
