《EverSense...Offline?》 Chapter One- EverSense. . . Offline? EverSense Online. The world''s 13th VRMMORPG and undoubtedly the most popular of its time. It has raised over 3 billion dollars in sales profits alone, not to mention the ingame consumables that were able to be bought. With a never before seen realism graphic level of 81% EverSense became the first game in history to offer players a fully customizable player appearance, a 4:1 time ratio, 50+ playable races, 100+ ¡°Path¡± classes with 1500+ ¡°Branch¡± classes it was the Adam of its time, the golden apple from the tree of life. And after seven long years, it is finally shutting down. Players no longer felt the intense desire they once felt while playing EverSense Online. While only a few players actually managed to reach the zenith, many players had grown tired of the slightly repetitive lifestyle. To them, killing five hundred orcs to gain a level was something they would only do once, if ever. But then again, that¡¯s what separates the good from the bad; the diamonds from the rocks. In two weeks a brand new game, known universally as Multiverse online, would feature a never before seen sci-fi reality aspect. It was the biggest topic among gamers in history. How big was the game? Was there a limit to space? What was our enemy? How many planets are there? Truthfully, Multiverse online had some hardcore critics even before it came out. The critics were not focused on the game itself, rather, on the aspect of sci-fi in general. However, that is enough about that. Today is the last day of EverSense Online. For me, who has invested over 1000 hours into the game, this has come as a blow straight to my heart. All my painful grinding, trading, leveling¡­ it has come to nothing. So now I sit, seated upon the Guild Leader Throne of the [PvP Gods], A clan dedicated towards PvP only we scoure the PvP servers in order to find a worthy challenge. It was through this way that we managed to become the #1 PvP guild in the world, with me, [Malketh], as the guild leader. ¡°All this.. will be gone? As expected¡­ even I... ¡° A few tears slid down my face. The hard work of all my guild members will no longer be worth anything. Hundreds of hours spent grinding and working towards better gear will be destroyed in less than an hour. Releasing a downward sigh I opened up my options menu and clicked [Switch Server]. I experience slight disability as my world went completely black. A white server screen popped in front of me, showing multiple open end servers. I released another sigh as I checked the population number. A little over 1000 people. All thousand of those are the most dedicated players here, the rest not seeing the need to stay until the end. I clicked on the [Search Server] bar and typed in the code. [The winner tells all] Once again I felt a slight discomfort as the view around me changed. A pure white room, filled with nothing but leaderboards and names floating around. ¡°Are you the last one?¡± I ignored the voice behind me, taking a closer look at the floating images. [PvP International Leaderboards(Solo)] Malketh- Kills- 86059 Deaths-2439 K/D- 35.28 LolKing Kills-77809 Deaths- 3209 K/D-24.24 IonlyPvP Kills- 60176 Deaths- 6087 K/D- 9.8 AdolfHitler Kills- 52065 Deaths-9087 K/D 5.7 AlwaysOnTop Kills- 52012 Deaths 123 K/D 422.86 I raised my hands in a celebratory cheer seeing my score in the leaderboard. I was surprised at how far I was ahead from second place, but not too badly. After hitting max level I did nothing but PvP the whole time, trying out thousands of different combinations of skills for the ultimate ¡°Glass Cannon¡± build. *Schwing* ¡°I don¡¯t take to being ignored. Now let me ask you. Are.You.The.Last.One.¡± The surprising amount of bloodlust caused me to unconsciously activate [Blink] and drop a [Attraction] bomb where I stood. I just managed to catch a glimpse of a tall black armored knight before he was swallowed by the black hole, then spit up a moment later. His body flew towards a group of twenty or so other players. The knight just managed to right himself with his weapon, stabbing a long black mace into the ground to slow his momentum. ¡°WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR YOU MIDGET!!¡± He shouted in a rage, pulling out his shield and glaring at me. [Warrior Constitution] [Body Enhance] [Physical Overdrive] [Dark knight¡¯s Terror] [Physical Resist] Five skills were shouted in rapid succession as the knight prepared to charge at me. Before he was able to, however, a dark flash of light temporarily blinded the room. ¡°Agh my eyes!!¡± A let out a laugh as the annoying knight screamed in pain. Though I was a little confused. How could the darkness hurt his eyes? ¡°Hmm¡­ 22 of you¡­¡± My head began to throb as an exotic voice resounded in my head, making me clutch it in pain. Opening my eyes I saw that the other 20 players were in similar positions, though some took it better than other. One, standing a bit over 7 foot tall, seemed to not be affected at all, staring at absentmindedly through a black runic hood. ¡°Hello, all who have reached level 300. I am known as Tai, the artificial intelligence that governs EverSense Online. I am here on the orders of my creator to send you a message.¡± Wearily rising from my position I glared at the forty foot tall, eight winged seraphim that was staring down at us. I considered attack it. I have defeated plenty a seraphim before, but none so large. ¡°Who the fuck are you, and why does my head hurt so much!!¡± Black knight guy shouted. ¡°I am Tia.¡± I almost laughed at the seraphims basic reply. ¡°Don¡¯t make fun of me assho-¡± ¡°The message my creator has left me goes as shown.¡± Without waiting for Black knight to finish Tia began to wave his wings around and in doing so caused one large holographic screen to appear in front of us. ¡°If this video is being played then that means ten or more players have managed to reach the near impossible level cap of 300 in EverSense Online.¡± Standing in a white lab coat a man who seemed to be about 35-40 years old held a jovial smile on his face as he spoke. ¡°You probably know by now, but my name is Kanagi Tiyoko. I am the creator of the first Virtual Reality Dive Pod, or the VRDP.¡± My jaw(If I had one) hit the floor hearing this guy speak. Kanagi Tiyoko? No way!! Virtual reality has been out for almost a hundred and fifty years now! How would this guy know about EverSense? ¡°While I know some of you may be shocked, it is true. And now I will reveal another shocking secret. I am not from this world.¡± Now I considered logging out. To make a fake video of a man I admired was low, especially for a company I admired. This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. ¡°I know you won¡¯t believe what I just said, but you will, soon enough. I born in a world very different from this one. For one, we did not look like humans. We looked more like¡­ cavemen, to be honest. Nine feet tall, seven fingered incredibly intelligent cavemen. And we were blue. Anyways, my people valued intelligence more than they valued their own lives. We had far more resources available to us and as such, we were far more technologically advanced than you. However it was our own superiority that led to our downfall.¡± I could barely keep up with what this guy was saying. Is what he talking about even possible? I glanced to the other group of people. I realized that some of them were shouting at the seraphim, but for some reason I couldn¡¯t hear them. ¡°To make a long story short my race entered into a civil war that destroyed our home planet entirely. I, along with three of my friends managed to create a device that would cause our souls to be implanted into a small proto-adaptable body upon our deaths. We launched our bodies into outer space moments before I planet was destroyed. I have no clue as to where my friends are and can only hope they are in a safe place.¡± I took a moment to register what he said. Proto-adaptable body? As in, can change shape? And how the hell can you touch a soul? ¡°I arrived on Earth sometime in the late 1500¡¯s. I was lucky enough to meet a very nice farmer group in which I deceived them into letting me stay with just a tad bit of magic. For almost 500 years I studied up on this world while simultaneously trying to make contact with my friends.My life was relatively peaceful for the next seven years. However, an incident happened that forced me to change my perspective of humanity as a whole. Through the times I have lived on this planet I have come to see the human race as something¡­. despicable. Why was it that the hard working people, those that worked till they collapsed, were the ones looked down on? Why were the native americans, who were living their lives peacefully forcibly removed from their land? Why did humans always take and never give? Why were they so selfish. Even now, I still have not figured this out. So in order to figure this out I created a fully functioning system that would humans to leave the consciousness of their bodies and enter a world to which defied their own concept of being. A world where they can become anything and act anyway, no longer held down by the chains of reality.¡± ¡®Virtual Reality¡¯ I whispered in my head. ¡°And so, my experiment came out as such. Humans, while tied down by moral laws, will act in ways benefiting them and only them, though they make extend this will to others for their own personal gain. However, when taken to a world where even the weak can become strong those concepts were thrown aside for a mutual goal:Strength. Through strength, humans managed to create bonds that extended past this artificial world. Thus my conclusion has reached such: It is in the very depth of humanity that this false concept of living has been splayed on their personal nature. They have adapted to a corrupt strain of nature and in turn have become corrupt themselves, no longer seeking the need for social behaviors.¡± ¡°But then I thought to myself ¡°What about the others?¡± What about those who do work hard, those that strive for a world difference from the pre-laid path humanity has lain down. In order to find these people I created my own game in a virtual reality world that would continually challenge your very being. In this game, those that could no longer take milk humanity pours would have a place to drain. A place where they would no longer have to fear being scorned by others for being different.¡± My mind forcibly refused to believe what he was this man was saying yet my ears would not stop listening. ¡°To reach the max level in this game, EverSense Online, you have to have will. Without will, you have nothing. It is impossible to reach the final level in EverSense by just casually playing. Only those who truly hate the real world and have poured hundreds of hours into it will have reached the final. You ten or more players have dedicated almost twenty years of gaming into one game. For that, I commend you. I salute you for not following in the old humanity''s ways and adapting into a strain that strove to be something more. And here is my reward. All who have seen this video will be forcibly transported out of EverSense Online and into a new world, one in which there are no Npcs, no players and no moderators. This is a world I had stumbled upon while using my own [Divination Magic] as my old race. This is the only thing I can gift to you. Here, in this world, you will be kings and queens. Through the pen or the sword it does not matter. I fully believe you have earned this right.¡± Once he finished speaking the hologram zoomed out, leaving us to ponder our own thoughts. The old man¡¯s words struck a deep cord in me. Indeed, I hated humanity. I hated how my father, who worked his whole life to go to law school was only able to rise so high before his status of [Commoner] stopped him from advancing. I hated how I, no matter how far I strove would never be as good as those who were born into greatness. And so my solace was EverSense Online, a game where everybody truly started out equal and only hard work would let you become stronger. A game where even I, gutter scum as I am, was able to become something far more than he ever dreamed. ¡°I will now commence mass teleportation. To you who have reached the sky, I congratulate you. Have fun in your new world.¡± The robotic voice of Tai resonated in my mind, though it no longer brought a throbbing pain. Light began to coalesce around my body, something as I recognized as mana. ¡°What if we don¡¯t want to go?¡± A weak voice spoke out. I glanced over to see a young girl, no more than twenty years of age speak out in tears. Apparently, the video had affected her deeply as well. ¡°Then you do not have to go. You are free to log out as you please. However be warned that this is a once in a lifetime chance. There will be no going back.¡± I wondered if anyone was going to log out. Although I still had my own doubts to this story I was curious to see where this would go. If I did end up in a new world, good for me. With my powers even slaying a god was possible. And if it turned out to be a hoax then that''s that. But as expected, nobody logged out. ¡°Good. Commencing Inorganic matter teleportation¡­. encrypting soul into databytes¡­ bonding soul to inorganic matter¡­ turning on mana power supply¡­¡± I held my breath as my body began to heat up. Soon it grew into a near intolerable inferno within my chest. ¡°Teleport¡± -------------- Chapter Two- EverSense. . . Offline? Somewhere in the Middle Continent, by the human capital ¡°Arvaden¡± -------------- The only sound that could be heard in the dark of the night were the animalistic grunts of a heavily obese man inside his bedroom. Large bottles of wine lay spread around his room, spilled on papers and the floor. The room reeked heavily of sex, a complaint he had beaten a maid over when he overheard the gossip. He had beaten her so bad, in fact, that she was unable to work again, her arms no longer able to function like they used to. ¡®A quick slit of the throat took care of that problem right quick¡¯ He chuckled darkly, laughing in a drunken stupor. Turning the small female form beneath him over he began to thrust even harder, his mind barely coherent aside from the pleasure he received. ¡°Fuck! Cumming!¡± Omar¡¯s legs almost gave out with the force of jism that exploded from his cock. His whole body shuddered from the sensation, revelling in the exquisite tightness of the child beneath him. An explosive sigh escaped his lips as he collapsed on top of the young elf girl. Omar rolled to his side a moment later, making sure not to smother her with his fat. ¡°Oh Tera my darling. You were worth every single coin.¡± Turning her head to face him he planted a fat smooch on her lips, swirling his slimy tongue on the inside of her mouth. Omar could feel her shuddered at him doing so, which only increased his arousal. He considered having another go at the child, but quickly decided against it. His body wasn¡¯t what it once was, and old age is a terrifying thing. ----------- Tera Pov I gingerly submerged my bruised body into the steaming bath water, taking care not to splash any outside the tub. This was the only bath I¡¯ve had in almost three weeks, since elves never gave off an odor. Grabbing a nearby washcloth I scrubbed the filth from my body, desperately trying to get the feel of that fat man off my body. I began to sob uncontrollably as I washed, scrubbing so hard my skin turned raw. ¡°Mom¡­ I¡¯m so sorry¡­ please help¡­¡± I could remember the day I was captured like it was yesterday. I was eleven years old at the time, still a baby in elf standards. I had gotten into a rather intense fight with my mother about my father, who, other than coming home drunk every night, did virtually nothing to help the family. He had lost his right arm and eye protecting the King of Yggdrasil from an extremely strong magical beast. AS a result, he could no longer fight or wield a bow. To his utter dismay, he had not gotten a word of thanks for his effort, instead having been deemed ¡°Useless¡± by the military and thrown out. Being disabled, it was near impossible for him to get a job so he was forced to rely on his own wife, something he found was a great shame. So to counter that shame he began to drink, not stopping even when our coffers ran dangerously low. I had gotten into many fights with mom over this but she simply said ¡°He¡¯ll be over it soon¡± and let it be. But when I caught him beating my mother I could no longer take it and ran away. I had planned to go back sometime later, but who would¡¯ve imagined the first group of people I met on the main road were slavers? After being captured my life was absolute hell. Everyday the men at the caravans ¡°Sampled the goods¡±, myself included. The women were forcibly gagged every night, unable to bite their own tongues to end the nightmare. The worst part though, was being sold. I was brought onto a large podium and my manacles were melded to a piece of wood. I was forced to stand naked in front of a pack of lustful humans while they bid on how much I was worth. It was terrifying, even more so when I was sold to Omar, a man who was known to beat the slaves he buys. Since then, I have been forced to do acts no child-No, even adults would pale at the things I have done. I began to scrub around the magic enforce anklets on my legs. They were the sign of my slavery to Omar. Every slave he owned had them. His name was engraved in fancy gold script on the side of them. They were near impossible to cut through, having been reinforced by metal magic multiple times. ¡°The water''s getting cold¡­ guess I better get out now.¡± I slowly exited the wooden tub, ignoring the frosty air that was in the washroom. Using a dirty towel on the wall I began to dry myself clean, taking extra care to wash my greasy long hair. ¡°Kyaah!C-cold!!¡± I nearly jumped as ice cold air suddenly caressed my back, chilling my lower body. Wait¡­ a breeze? I grabbed my only light source- a candle- and brought it towards the wall of the shack bathroom. By the far end of the wall three planks had been broken by their lower halves, creating a small gap the size of a small dog. ¡®Should.. should I escape?¡¯ Before I even finished the thought I began to throw on her clothes. This was my chance to escape. Freedom was a concept near foreign to me, and with it so close in sight I was experiencing elation. Although I was quite a far distance from any town, I held no worries. Elfs held a much higher affinity to nature and if needed I could live off nuts and berries until I got strong enough to travel by myself. I lowered myself down and squeezed through the tiny gap, scraping my knee on the hard stone as I struggled through. ¡®Agh I¡¯m so stupid! I forgot my candle!!¡¯ Mentally I chided myself. I had left it by my clothes while I was putting them on. It was pitch black outside with only the dimly lit moon to guide a way. I considered crawling back inside but my choice was made for me. ¡°Tera. It¡¯s time to get out. I¡¯ll have fun with you one last time before you go to sleep. I know that¡¯s your fa-- WHAT THE HELL!! GUARDS, GUARDS!!¡± My already furiously beating heart began to pump faster as Omar signaled for the guards. ¡®Of all the days he had to personally get me, why did it have to be today? Why?!?¡¯ With only a split second hesitation I ran towards the forest. It was my only chance of losing the sure-to-come hunting wolves Omar owned. I had seen what they did to escaped slaves and I had no desire to be one of their victims. Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.-------- Knight Captain Dunstead Pov ¡°Oh Dunstead, you¡¯re so manly!¡± The buxom vixen to my right gave my muscles an appreciative squeeze. ¡° And powerful!¡± The vixen to my left ran her hands across my chest, sensually stroking it. ¡°And BIG!¡± The vixen beneath my legs stroked an entirely different muscle. I let out an appreciative sigh. It''s not everyday a man gets a sight like this. ¡°Oh? Somebody likes this.¡± The slutty woman opened her mouth wide, preparing to take my cock in it. Before she could, however, a voice from the outside interrupted my dream. ¡°Dunstead! Dunstead! Wake-- Oh, you¡¯re already up.¡± I resisted the urge to run the fat pig through with my sword. ¡®He¡¯s your employer Dunstead. Not yet, not yet.¡¯ Instead I gave a short salute to him and threw on a shirt, already knowing I was going to have a task. ¡°What do you need my lord?¡± The oaf was panting heavily and took a moment to catch his breath.¡± ¡° M-my slave, Tera. She¡¯s escaped!! Bring her back with minimal damage!!¡± I grit my teeth in anger at this man. Why would he wake me of all people up for this? One of my subordinates would have done just fine. ¡°Might I ask, my lord, why you woke me up for this? Surely one of my subordi-¡± Before I finished however Omar was shaking his head, jowls quivering as he did so. ¡°Because your men tend to ¡°Sample¡± the slaves before they give them back. I can expect better things from you.¡± Without waiting to receive an answer he tossed a dirty pair of child''s panties on the ground and walked out. Once again I had to resist the urge to kill him. I¡¯ve heard the things this sick fuck does to kids. Apparently he hates adult women so he can only get his knocks off on children. ¡®Why did I even sign up with an employer like him? Poor elf¡­ if she¡¯s smart she¡¯ll kill herself.¡¯ I picked up the pair of panties and headed towards the stables. ¡°Joe, Matt, Fred! Up an attem. We have some hunting to do.¡± Passing by the guards sleeping quarters I banged on the door with sufficient strength. ¡®If my naps going to be fucked over, so is yours.¡¯ ------- Tera Pov I¡¯d run for almost twenty minutes when I heard the first sign of the dogs. I¡¯d gotten rather lucky with the path I chose through the forest, encountering no low roots and only a couple of branches. Hearing the noise of the dogs though cased me to involuntarily freeze mid step, sending me sprawling into cold ground. I was back up in an instant, newfound energy pumping through my body. I absolutely refused to be captured here. Far too long have I spent at the hands of that torturous pig. Too much pain had been wrought from the hands of that evil bastard. I would rather kill myself than go back to that man. ¡°There she is! Faster dogs, faster!¡± My speed reached a whole new level as fear wove itself into my very cells, unconsciously causing me to draw mana from the earth and pore it into myself. ¡®W-w-what is this? I¡¯m going so fast!!¡¯ The trees began to wind past my at frightening speeds and the wind began to whip my face, causing me to clench my eyes. And that was when I met doom. My foot snagged a small root in the ground, causing me to lose my balance and send me tumbling headfirst into the ground. I nearly vomited from how many times I rolled across the ground. White hot pain boiled into my eyes as I sat up, indicating I had broken a bone during my roll. ¡®Weird¡¯ I gasped in a pained breath. ¡®I never even felt it.¡¯ I barely managed to back myself up into a tree before the red eyed glint of the dogs entered my vision. ¡®Wait a minute¡­ they are at the other end of the clearing? Just how far did I roll, and how fast was I going¡¯ These thoughts would never be answered as four massive wolves surrounded me on either side, oddly 15 or so yards away from me. I wondered why they were so far but in the end it did not matter as I clenched my tongue beneath my teeth. ¡°It¡¯s too late now girlie. You should¡¯ve bitten your tongue a long time ago. Matt here is a high ranked healer and will have no problem reattaching your tongue.¡± Once again, tears began to fall from my face. Why was this world so unfair to me? What have I done to deserve this. Glancing up I looked into the cold eyes of a rather handsome looking beastman. He had the signature ears and tail of their race, though what kind he was I could not tell. ¡°I pity you, I do. That man is a sick fuck and needs to die. But, he is my employer so¡­ yeah.¡± Despite the circumstances I felt a small shred of hope. ¡°Please!! Please let me go! I¡¯ll do anything!! I.. i can¡¯t go back to that man. I can¡¯t!!¡± My shook uncontrollably. Even if they had a healer I was still going to bite my tongue. Who knows, I might actually die. ¡°No can do. You''re my source of income, as despicable as it is. I lose you I lose my paycheck.¡± The mercenary reached his arm out for me and I tried to swat it away only to find, to my dismay, that it was my right arm that was broken. Before his hand reached my collar, however, a bright light blinded us all. When I felt it was safe to open my eyes, I saw¡­ -------- Author here. Ty for all that read, and I would like to see comments on character comparison. Is there a noticeable difference between the elf girl and the protagonist from last chapter? Or do they feel the exact same way in thinking? Any feedback given would be a great help. Ty. Chapter Three- EverSense. . . Offline? When I opened my eyes, I saw darkness. Not total darkness, mind you, but the type of darkness one would see in a dimly lit town. Darkness that virtual reality couldn¡¯t imitate. The feeling of the wind, the stars, the moon¡­ the feelings these objects gave off were something VR wasn¡¯t able to imitate. ¡®O..H...holy shit. That man was telling the truth.¡¯ I glanced down at my hands, noticing the small clearing of grass that was behind them. I clenched them tightly, feeling the muscles in my arm swell. I began to poke and prod my stomach, feeling my charact- No, my soft skin beneath my gloves. I could feel muscles, intestines, flesh¡­ virtual reality isn¡¯t able to do this. ¡°Haha¡­.hahahaha¡­.hahahahaha!!!! ITS REAL!! I¡¯M FINALLY FREE!!!¡± Tears of happiness-something that wasn¡¯t possible in EverSense- flowed freely down my face. No longer would I have to live in that shitty world living a stupidly shitty life. ¡°So you too hated earth, huh?¡± I looked up to the voice beside me. An extremely feminine man in a white cloth robe held the same look of exalted joy as me. ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t hate it? It was shit there. But honestly, to think that man was telling the truth.¡± Even though I wasn¡¯t the talkative type I couldn¡¯t help but run my mouth a little. Nothing could ruin this perfect moment. ¡°WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS!!¡± Of course, I spoke too soon. The overly familiar metallic ring of swords being drawn from their sheaths echoed in my non-existent ears. I took a glance at my surroundings. I was in a large, crop cut clearing full of small white flowers that glittered rather beautifully under the moonlight. Glancing in front of me four large wolves taller than me glared at me with red eyes. Behind them, three men stood at the ready, all with swords drawn. The one to my right even had a small fireball spell in his hand. ¡°So there¡¯s even magic in this world¡­ fascinating.¡± Next to me I heard the feminine man mutter under his breath. ¡®I wonder¡­ do we still have our magic?¡¯ Closing my eyes I reached inside myself for the familiar gaseous sensation of mana. For a moment, panic overtook me as I felt nothing. Then, I felt a small blue wisp floating near the center of my chest. I tried to move it but it felt anchored to the spot. ¡®Hmm.. resisting me? Try again!!¡¯ With a powerful tug I yanked the blue mist away from the center of my chest. And like that, my magic power began gushing out. I nearly screamed in euphoria as my all too familiar magic began to circulate throughout my body. ¡°So much mana!! This is way more than I had before.¡± With more than a little effort I forcibly compressed my leaking power into my body. ¡°Pheeew. That was nice.¡± I looked up at the feminine man. He had his eyes closed as well, and if I was to guess he was-- ¡°God fuck!!¡± I shouted in pain as a pure white light radiated from his body, only to shut off a moment later. ¡°That felt amazing¡± He said aloud. I had to agree with him. Even now my magic roiled about in my body. I hadn¡¯t opened that magic hole in my chest all the way yet and was curious as to see what would happened when I do. ¡°What are you guys¡­?¡± The four wolves in front of us had all disappeared, leaving the three men by themselves. Of them, only one was standing his ground, albeit barely. Before I had a chance to speak the feminine man next to me did. ¡°Gods¡± I raised my eye at this. Pretty bold of him, to declare us gods. Not going to lie though, I probably would have said something along the same lines. ¡°Pfft please. I¡¯ve seen gods, and none of them look like that demon right their.¡± The man in the middle pointed his sword rather rudely at me. But it was true. Not to say anything of my race but my gear alone probably made me look like evil incarnate. I had on a full set of level 300 gear, personally crafted to my own battle style. It was modeled to look after the fabled [Nightmare¡¯s End] gear, though mine ended up looking much much darker. (An: Really don¡¯t know how to explain this without boring the hell out of the readers so here is a picture. Only difference in my characters clothing is the mouth on the hat is also around the cuffs of his robe as well as near his ankles, with the color of the robe being white instead of purple. Instettered cloth the robe comes down like traditional mage wear, with the additions above being added to. Also, the eye color is gold, as well as the glove on his hands are black) My gear focused insanely on increasing my damage, magic recovery, and mana pool size. The ten gems woven on my gloves served to add unique effects to some of my magic skills. Coupled with my race¡¯s unique characteristic I singlehandedly possessed the most powerful attacks in EverSense Online, though at a massive drawback. ¡°Oh dear¡­ Haven¡¯t you been told never to judge a book by its cover?¡± An unorthodox amount of killing intent surged out of the feminine man, nearly causing me to unconsciously activate my skills. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. *Thump*Thump* I nearly laughed out loud as the two men who were on the ground passed out from fright. The strong odor of urine filled the air only a moment later. The man in the middle somehow managed to stay conscious from the bloodlust, although he did drop to his knees in pain. ¡°Hou? You¡¯re still awake? Impressive. I¡¯m going to amp it up then.¡± Having said that the feminine man began to steadily increase his bloodlust, aiming it like a sharp knife at the middle man. ¡°P-p-ple-a-se!! S-t-t-top!!¡± The pressured atmosphere in the air disappeared almost instantly. I turned around in shock as a young girl hugged her shaking body with intense fear. ¡®How did I not notice her..?¡¯ I wondered. I wrote it off as ¡°Since she had no killing intent I didn¡¯t feel the need to notice her¡±, but deep down I wasn¡¯t so sure if that was the case. ¡°Your arm is broken¡± Feminine boy says, reaching down to touch the child. She let loose a slight gasp of pain at the prodding hands of feminine boy but said nothing of it. ¡°....¡± I strain my ears to catch the mumbled words of feminine boy but am unable to catch a thing. A moment later though a small gentle light began to emanate from his hands, causing a small moan to release from the young girls lips. ¡°Healing magic¡­ a level 300 healer, huh? Never seen one of those before¡± I spoke with slight awe in my voice. Unlike other classes healers only gained experience from healing other people, and a small bit from healing themselves. Because of this healers were in high demand everywhere in EverSense Online, though because of how difficult it was to level them there were rarely any around. ¡°I wonder why?¡± Feminine boy says with a laugh, patting the young girl on the head before standing up. ¡°So little girl. Why are you out here.¡± He asks. Out of nowhere the girl begins to burst into tears, her small frame shaking with the strength of them. ¡°That man¡­ he¡­ he¡¯s my master but¡­ he¡¯s a sick man. He rapes me so much. I just couldn¡¯t take it anymore.¡± If I had them my eyes would have jumped off my face. There is slavery in this world? Once again that unfathomably deep bloodlust begins to surge out of feminine boy before being cut like a kite on a string. ¡°I see.¡± He says. ¡°Mind taking me towards this man.¡± An intense flash of fear light up in the girl¡¯s eyes. However, it faded with feminine boy¡¯s next words. ¡°Rest assured. I have no intentions of giving you back to that man. Rather, I would like to give him a warm welcome.¡± It might be going on a limb here but I felt as if our two definitions of ¡°Warm welcome¡± were pretty far from each other. Still, the girl was hesitant. I couldn¡¯t blame her though. Two strangely dressed people appear out of the sky and proclaim themselves gods? Even I would find a situation like that sketchy. ¡°H-.. how do I know you¡¯re not going to turn me in?¡± ¡°Well, I did just attack those men coming after you. It should be rather obvious that we are on your side.¡± Can¡¯t deny that logic. An awkward silence engulfed the area as the girl made up her mind. Honestly, I didn¡¯t care either way. I was beyond eager to explore this brand new world and with the power I had I had no fear of anything on this planet. ¡°I...I¡¯m trusting you. Please, don¡¯t betray me.¡± A quiver entered the child¡¯s voice as she spoke, but her eyes portrayed her determination. ¡°I,SushiHealz, swear by the String of Fate that I will not hand¡­ this child over to her master.¡± My eyes widened at that. Although I didn¡¯t think he would do it, breaking a promise after swearing by the String of Fate branded you as a [Monster] for one month in game time. Players would get experience from killing you as a [Monster] based on your level. However, only players over level 250 could swear by the String of Fate, so as to not abuse the system and power level. Given that players lose exactly half of their experience when they die and that your experience will go into the negative swearing by the String of Fate rarely, if ever, was used in a promise. ¡°But honestly¡­ SushiHealz?¡± I couldn¡¯t help but laugh at that. ¡°Says you, moon elf wannabe.¡± Sushi shot back, punching my pride in a weak point. ¡°Fine. Let¡¯s both agree we need new names for this world.¡± I said, slightly grumpy. Malketh was a good name, right? I quickly thought about what I wanted to be called. I forcibly shoved away my inner Chuunibyou and began to think. ¡°You proclaimed us as god''s, right? Then we need fitting aliases.¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. Then¡­ I will be Zagan, as named in the Lesser Book of Solomon. You can be¡­ Ipos.¡± I wanted to say that name was lame, but for some reason it sounded¡­ right to me, like a well used controller. ¡°Fine.¡± I muttered, my pride slightly wounded. ¡°Well then, little lady. Shall we go now?¡±
