《Roki》 Chapter 1: You and I -9.00 a.m.- ¡®ugh so sore damn it those penalties, why do he always have to target me¡¯ It was the weekend, a time where student rest their body and mind after undertaking the stressful and boring life as a student. Well its more of this guy lifestyle of being the hit and run kind of a guy. After class he went back straight to his home. Not caring of doing any extracurricular activities or sports or even being in a club. Too him its more of a hassle. But others at his age were enjoying their fountain of youth. Dreaming a goal together as a club, being in love with your first love, or studying to the most earnest achieving better grades were the options of these youngsters. Out of all these students there were still minor percentage of them not involve in any of those, one such as these ¡®guy¡¯. Doesn¡¯t have any real commitment in his life that barely reach the age of 17. It was his last year in school and still he doesn¡¯t have anything serious going on. But there was one thing that he was recognized as, holding the record of being the most unpunctual student of the year. Well it was not official but it was the title given to him by the discipline teacher. He does have a clash of opinion with the discipline teacher but deep down he knows that the teacher care for him. But his character instill in him isn¡¯t really concern with something unimportant like that. As he groans on his bed, he stretches his rigid body with few crackling sound that echoes through his room. it was a simple room with a basic layout, a single bed at the corner of a room and at the opposite corner a study table with an open laptop. In front of the bed lay a cupboard and other than that hmmmm¡­ that¡¯s it I guess, simple with no hint individualistic nature of the ¡®guy¡¯. Then his smartphone rang, seeing the caller name on the screen he released a big sigh. ¡®what now that she want, doesn¡¯t she know im always too lazy on the weekend¡¯ He then rejected the call and make way to the bathroom tidying up himself. Most boys would skip the part but even as lazy as this guy he put hygiene as the utmost importance. After refreshing up, he goes downstairs and saw the bountiful harvest upon the dining table. This was a surprise, usually it would be only rice miso soup and egg omelet. Didn¡¯t know that her mother would suddenly cook a feast like this. He was weird out but he kept his mouth shut and just enjoys the feast that was prepared for him. As he hold his spoon to ready engulf the food, the door bell rung. ¡®KRING KRING¡¯ ¡®Ah, she¡¯s here Kichiro go get her at the door¡¯ ¡®eh?¡¯ ¡®it¡¯s a guest go get her, it would be rude if the food gone cold come on and invite her for breakfast¡¯ ¡®ah ye okaa-san¡¯ Yup this guy name was Kichiro, and as a obedient son he follow his mother order wholeheartedly thou it annoys him he does cherish his mother. Walking to the front door, he rustles his hair hinting annoyance unconsciously. Opening the door, in front of him stood a tall lady that was even taller than him. From the height itself she must be at least 175cm. Kichiro shows an annoyed face it was none other than the one who call him this morning. His childhood friend ¡®Hye Kichiro and why didn¡¯t you answer my call haaa?¡¯ ¡®just get in, okaa-san prepared breakfast¡¯ ¡®ehh she did? Lets go!¡¯ She lightheartedly entered the house like it was hers. She cheerfully greet Kichiro mother. ¡®good morning, Okaa-san¡¯ ¡®araa you are here Layla-chan, come and eat breakfast¡¯ ¡®huhu okay¡­ itadakimasuuu¡¯ Kichiro could only see a beautiful looking lady gorging upon the food that was served at the table. The term beautiful was sadly lost by the scene that seen by him. He didn¡¯t bother by it, but if the admirer of hers knows this horrible scene they would probably lost their interest. Layla Kitagawa, the number one idol of the school. She is beautiful, athletic, socially active and the top 5 smartest student in the whole school. Boys at every grade were drooling over her, even nearby schools take notice of this girl. She¡¯s a half Japanese and half American, due to her genetics her looks is stunning. Like a fusion of Asian and western facial feature created a whole other level of beauty along with her iconic blonde color hair. Even her tall height was attributed to her father¡¯s gene. Moreover the curves of her body were one of the reasons for the boys to stare at her during P.E. wearing just a tshirt and bloomer that flaunt her sexy curves. Taking a seat on the dining table, he joins Layla having breakfast. He ignores the glutton in front of him and comfortable enjoy his meal. ¡®oh yeah Kichi-kun¡¯ Yeah its Kichiro nickname. He looks at Layla with an expression telling ¡®what¡¯ Since they have known each other from small, Layla got the cue and explain ¡®You heard about the new game?¡¯ Seeing how Kichiro only look at her with a blank face state he doesn¡¯t really know. ¡®Since you are like that let me tell you, a virtual game created that mimics the same reality that we see right now. It was a breakthrough in gaming and in science, since the age of console gaming virtual reality is a new world and new age for gamers all alike, even non-gamers are starting to get interested in this virtual reality and bla bla bla bla bla¡¯ Kichiro was staring blankly at Layla as he watches her talk on and on. He wasn¡¯t even listening to her as he thought it must be one of those games that she likes to play. Finishing his meal he then stands to wash the dishes. He stands up until he heard Layla shout at him. ¡®Kichi-kun!!¡¯ ¡®eh, what?¡¯ ¡®so do you want to play with me or not?¡¯ ¡®ya ya ya sure¡¯ He satisfies to his childhood friend¡¯s wish not knowing what he had got himself into. Before he could return to the dwelling of slumber. Layla walk alongside him as he climb the stairs he wasn¡¯t bother at first but then he question her. ¡®uhmm where are you going?¡¯ ¡®to your room of course hihi¡¯ Kichiro doesn¡¯t mind about it until he heard from his mother ¡®ouh Kichiro, can you prepared the guest room for Layla, she would be staying here until the college entrance exam.¡¯ ¡®oh I see¡­. Eh? What!¡¯ ¡®oh Layla-chan didn¡¯t tell you, her parents are away to the U.S and they ask us to take care of her until they come back¡¯ ¡®ah¡¯ ¡®Take care of me ok Kichi-kun hihi¡¯ Kichiro could only sigh but then again he doesn¡¯t really mind about her living in the house as long as she wasn¡¯t disturbing him it would be fine. He already thought of her as some kind of sister I guess but the feeling was still lackluster and blur, not knowing where it stands. After both of them prepared the guest room, Kichiro take his leave and want to land back into dreamland as time was more precious for him to rest his body. Before he could walk out, Layla tug his shirt and he change direction to her. ¡®what¡¯ As she stood in front of him at close distance, the difference between them was apparent Kichiro was only 168cm at best and her height was at 175cm. with a cheery smile she pat Kichiro at his head. this certainly annoys him, he doesn¡¯t like how she pat at him implicating that he was short. ¡®bugs off¡¯ He shrug off her hand that was patting him. ¡®eh Kichi where you going?¡¯ ¡®going back to sleep, try not to bother me¡¯ ¡®but you promise to play the game with me¡¯ ¡®what? You mean right now¡¯ ¡®of course¡¯ ¡®wait I go install the game first, so what¡¯s the title of it?¡¯ This time it was Layla whose face turn blank, ¡®you are really clueless, aren¡¯t you¡¯ Layla walks toward the bag that she brought. Opening the bag she took out two weird looking helmets and gave one to Kichiro. ¡®here¡¯ ¡®what¡¯s this?¡¯ ¡®it¡¯s the access point to enter the game you dimwit, here let me tell you how it works¡¯ ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// -Last night 8 p.m. news- ¡®Breaking new, the new released game made by the giant company NinEnix has achieved tremendous success over the last 6 months upon it released internationally.

The scene then changes from the white blank space to a sky view of a bustling city. Tall 2 and 3 stories buildings made up the layout of the town. Their buildings structures are made out of stone that resemble the old medieval age¡¯s style of buildings. To home quarters to business quarters, all of it are made out of stone and lumber. Cobblestones road fill the pathway of this city bringing one destination to another, many different kinds of shops were located in the city selling various goods and merchandise. Public structure such bath house, granary, church, adventurer¡¯s house are available to the entire user. It was typical fantasy city but with a twist of realism in it further increasing the gamer¡¯s heart of living the adventure. At the center of it all is a large castle made out of stone, royal banner consisting of the royal insignia was hanging at each corner of the castle¡¯s wall. The King reside under the closely guard doors of Eraborn¡¯s castle. But not to far from the castle door, a square plaza reside at the middle of the bustling scene. Users was shouting and screaming their lungs out trying to gain attention for their goods and wares, competing with other users. Most of them are user with their class as merchant that heavily rely on trading than killing monsters for leveling. Every kind of people in different races and different style of appearance were doing their own business at the square plaza. Some can be seen with high level equipment and some walk around fascinated by the spectacles in front of them that clearly show they are newbies. Then at the center of the plaza, several bright lights formed into a shape of a human. As the light fades, emerge new users in the world of Gaia. Among the tens of new users, one of them was Roki. amidst of all the excited new users, Roki was calm as he usually is. Looking at his hands, he tries to move his hand. For him it felt he was in the game itself. It was like he himself was in another whole world. a spark start to light in deep in his heart. Then a voice called his name; ¡®Kichi-kun!!¡¯ Glancing toward the voice that was loudly calling his name, he saw a female elf running toward him while waving her hand. By her looks alone it was none other than his childhood friend, Layla. She was the same as usual except for her elf like ears, emerald green eyes, and a tint of emerald green highlight on her hair. her height was certainly the same much taller than him or is she becoming more taller than before hmm. For Roki she was the same as usual but to the other users, her appearance was enough to captivate their eyes on to stare at her without them noticing. The characteristic of an elf beauty enhance the already beautiful Layla increasing her overall attractiveness luring even the eyes of the NPC of the plaza. Men and women alike unknowingly fixed their eyes to the elf maiden. Layla who was still a newbie still looks gorgeous even while wearing beginner¡¯s cloth. With her unusual large mounds for a high school student it certainly attract a few of those lecherous eyes. But then again, like Roki care if she¡¯s been stared at or not. He was more annoyed to the jealous eye and hated gaze from the users and NPC alike as he was seen talking to the beautiful Elf maiden. ¡®hye Kichi-kun what took you so long?¡¯ ¡®nothing, I must have take too much time talking with the A.I¡¯ ¡®Ooo you are flirting with the A.I, naughty Kichi-kun¡¯ She make an unusual expression to Roki. He retort; ¡®no im not the A.I just talk too much, anyway my name in here is Roki not Kichiro, so keep the fact straight¡¯ ¡®ok Roki-kun, and mine is Rinoa huhu¡¯ ¡®oh you choose your favorite character name huh¡¯ ¡®hehe of course¡¯ She shows a peace sign to Roki as she winks toward him. The feeling of hatred started to surround Roki after her action toward him. ¡®can we get away from this place, im kind of getting an unpleasant feeling¡¯ Showing a blanked face, she hardly understands the situation that Roki was currently in. Roki jolt hurriedly while grabbing hold of Rinoa¡¯s hand. Dragging her out of the prying eyes. Moving along crowds of people, he swiftly move between them and head into an empty store. Catching their breath, he was still feeling unreal that he could felt tired like this even in a game. While catching his breath, he notices a green bar at the corner of his eye slowly getting its bar full. In his mind it must be the so call stamina bar. At least it does correspond to his real life lacking kind of stamina. Gasping for air, he then scans the store to view what kind of place he ends up with. It was empty, empty in a sense of no customer. There were only different kind of jars and vials fill with different kind of colors cover in dust. At the counter was an old woman wearing a garment that resembles a gypsy. Medallion and shiny ornament decorates the old woman cloth. Her eyes were closed; it seems she was dozing off at the counter. While Rinoa was still catching her breath, Roki was going around the store looking the merchandise. Elf have a lesser stamina than human thus show how Roki recover first than her. Searching around all he could see were weird looking vial with weird looking liquid. Picking up one of those vial a blue window open ups describing the object.

¡®wo, didn¡¯t know this kind potion and exist, and no wonder there was no customer the price is too freaking high¡¯ ¡®what are you looking at, Kichi-kun¡¯ ¡®its not Kichi but Roki, Rinoa¡¯ ¡®¡¯ouh yeah Roki hehe sorry¡¯ ¡®huh never mind, these vials have interesting effects¡¯ ¡®ooo why don¡¯t we buy one?¡¯ ¡®maybe not its too damn expensive¡¯ Then another voice joins in the duo chatter; the old lady spoke; ¡®boy, the price is appropriate to its ingredient and its effect is remarkable compare to the other store¡¯ Roki could only heard attentively to the grandma words. it meant that she must be hinting something. But to Rinoa demise, she retort to her; ¡®not many customer in this store don¡¯t you think so grandma¡¯ ¡®young child you wouldn¡¯t know you wouldn¡¯t the art of my potion compare to other cheap stores¡¯ A hint of displeased can be heard from her voice, I guess she take pride on her skills and goods. Not wanting to stay any longer Rinoa dash out of the store not wanting to converse with the rude NPC. ¡®lets go Roki we don¡¯t need to waste time anymore over this store we got a lot of things to do in this confinement period¡¯ ¡®yeah sure¡¯ While he was getting out of the store, he stares at the old gypsy like woman. Her eyes were showing sign of keen interest to Roki like she sensed something was within him. He only nods to her before he step out of the store, the old woman pose a smile to Roki. Exiting the store both of them went to the nearby adventurer¡¯s guild. It was a large building that consist of three combine stores altogether. At the upfront of the stores was the adventurers¡¯ emblem, two swords clashing together. Not knowing the basic of this game Roki questions the motive of her friend every action but only within his mind. Drag by her into the guild, they went to the front desk, a brunette woman in her early twenties was standing there at the front desk, she was wearing a uniform of some sort that resembles the usual French maid garment. Facing the woman, Rinoa ask; ¡®hye me and my friend here are both newbies can we get the gift pack for new user?¡¯ ¡®well sure you have come to the right place, please wait for a while¡¯ ¡°I see no wonder she wants to come here, I forgot that she really love freebies¡± Two boxes were brought by the brunette wearing cloth maid. She greets them with a smile; ¡®Here¡¯s the beginner package for the both of you and please enjoy your stay here in Eraborn, if you have any inquiry you could ask me for more details and for your information you could do quest that are posted on the bulletin board.¡¯ ¡®thank you Miss?¡¯ ¡®ah yes just call me Miss Nara, I will be of help to all your needs¡¯ ¡®thank you Miss Nara, Roki lets check for any quest that we can do¡¯ ¡®ahh sure¡¯ As both of them went to the bulletin board, a group of people barge in from the front door. Sensing that they were bad news, Roki try to retreat before stumbling into them. Unfortunately the group eyes were already fixated to the elf beauty that was radiating like the sun in the enclosed guild house. ¡®Boss look at that elf, she¡¯s really pretty¡¯ ¡®I know you jest¡¯ ¡®boss based on her clothing, shes a newbie how about we try recruiting her¡¯ ¡®you read my mind CrackleBone, come lets go¡¯ The group approaches the duo with slow and steady strides while making a ruckus in the guild disturbing the others. it was a 5 man team, at the front was a human wearing high grade heavy armour with a sword at his belt, at his right were a rotten looking man with light armor as his clothing, a pair of dagger swirling on his hand, beside him was also a man with a bow hanging on his body, he has a quite look and not really interested in the affairs of his group. On the boss left, were another two human, wearing heavy armor one was wielding a spear and another with a large shield on his back. The boss eye was glued to the radiance of Rinoa, Before Roki could take her away, they were already surrounded. Nearby spectators were whispering to each other hinting how bad there are encountering these troublemakers on their first day. Then Rino spoke; ¡®can you make way, we are leaving this place¡¯ ¡®hey hey little missy treat some respect to your seniors in this game, you wouldn¡¯t want to trouble our boss here hehe¡¯ ¡®shush CrackleBone, hello there miss elf can you tell me your name?¡¯ A crooked smile from the crooked man with an ill intention to Rinoa, but she blatantly reply; ¡®I have no need to tell you my name, please begone so with we could play this game¡¯ Her tone was high showing authority fighting back against the intimidating aura of the group expressing to them that she was not afraid of a group little threats. Voice of mockery and insult was threw at her from the boss other colleagues or to be more precise his henchmen. Roki at the side of Rinoa was holding her hand tightly waiting for the opportunity to run away, it may be a slim chance but at least he would try. To be too unknown in this game made him realize that he was at a disadvantage especially during a time of need like the current one. But with Rinoa determined look, the boss could nudge a back and close distance while saying; ¡®I will give a chance to you pretty elf if you join our group I will let you and that damn shortie noob beside you to be free but if do not join us, sadly to say everyday life in this game you will meet hell by the blade of our sword¡¯ Rinoa was silent for a moment she know for a level one newbie it would be too much of a disadvantage to go against a group of probably level 60 to level 70 users. Getting killed by these dumbshits would not be pleasant. But then a voice rang out; ¡®Stop!!¡¯ A loud voice that came from the second story of the guild¡¯s house. As the voice end someone leaps from the second story and land in front of the two newbies. Raising her head, she said once again with her eyes showing ready fight; ¡®You shall not threaten them no more!¡¯ ¡® Chapter 2: Jade Dragon Restaurant ¡°¡­..¡± = monolog within ¡®¡­¡­¡¯ = dialog A woman clad in shining white armor protects the two newbies from the thug group. Her clear blue eyes shows a menacing glare directed to the bullies. She was a beautiful human lady, her hair was blonde, her eyes are blue her complexion was white as snow. Wielding a sword she points it to the head of these thug group the Boss. For Roki this sudden development was surprising unexpected, and at the sight of such beauty his heart skip a beat, he do not know why but the sight of her elegance and overall atmosphere even makes the bored heart of Roki to fasten pumping up blood that later makes evidence by his blush red cheeks. He shrugged this sudden feeling of anxious and concentrate on whats happening in front of him right now. The thug group flinch a bit as the sudden interruption caught them off guard. But the Boss retains his composure and strike back at the words of the female who point her sword directly at him. ¡®my, my another beauty drop out from the heaven, isn¡¯t this my lucky day, so tell me now woman are you also interested in joining my group, I will be glad to take you in hehe¡¯ CrackleBone at his side was starting to shiver, his eyes was shaking as he saw something at the woman shoulder. Cold sweats were starting to form on his forehead dripping madly like he was doing a vigorous training regime, but he was not. Standing there staring at the woman in white armor, he tug the Boss armor catching his attention. ¡®hey you whats wrong with you why are you shivering like you are scared, don¡¯t tell me you are afraid of one mere woman¡¯ ¡®but Boss look at her right shoulder¡¯ ¡®what are babbling about, what¡¯s on¡­.¡¯ His sentence was cut short after he saw the emblem on her left shoulder. An insignia of a sword in a sun, his body was petrified not because of being inflicted by a status effect but due to fear. The fear of encountering a member of the guild that hold this insignia. All of the five of them started to retreat back unconsciously like they instantly know that the weak should not meddle with the strong. Not a word came out from their mouth only their eyes warily watch the movement of this woman. Then they heard a voice that trembles their heart. ¡®why thou are silent, have you prepared thee self to clash with my sword?¡¯ ¡®ugh¡¯ Roki and Rinoa watch from behind the scene that was unraveling by the second. It was baffling to see how the thug group are starting to cower in fear against this lone woman. Just a while ago, they were all behaving arrogantly brandishing their high level to others. After a few second of silence, once again the woman spoke; ¡®I apologize it seems im a bit rude to start to a duel without introducing myself, please excuse myself as the act of bullying doesn¡¯t agree to my justice, I am JoantheArc, vice-commander of Sword of Ilios. Apprentice Knight of the Round Table, Level 105, please introduce yourself for this duel to begin¡¯ Everyone in the guild house exclaim in astonishment, a level 105 user was right in front of their eyes to see such high ranking user in this part of the city was rare even more so the guild that she was from is the famous guild Sword of Ilios and her class was the sought after Knight of the Round table a hidden class that was hard to obtain. Even if her class states she was just an apprentice, her current self was far more powerful than the other sword wielding class. A privilege obtains by only a few. The top three guild to be created ever since the game had been launch. Currently they were only 6 that exist in this game as to create a guild required massive amount of wealth and a particular item that was needed in creating the guild. The particular item was said only to be dropped by boss monster that was level 130 and above. With the current highest level of user was at the level 110, this feat proof to be difficult to conquer. Thus showing how these 6 guilds are a might that should not be challenge carelessly. Rinoa after hearing the woman¡¯s name shows an expression of admiration, her eye was glue to JoantheArc as she was the one who she has heard countless of time from the forum and chat room about the powerful lady knight. Gripping Roki hand tightly, Roki glance toward Rinoa as he saw her stare at JoantheArc with amazement. ¡°it seems even Rinoa is starstruck but no doubt her aura that she exude is truly powerful didn¡¯t know the game could make it this real¡± Afraid of accepting of the duel against the vice-commander of Sword of Ilios, the Boss turn his body and ran as fast as he could exiting the guild house. Dumbfounded by their Boss¡¯s action the other four henchmen follow along their boss scurry leave the scene. Silence conquered the guild house, no one was brave enough to spoke during these tense situation. With the sword hanging in the air, it seems the injustice has left the proximity. With no one else to go against her sword she slowly sheath her sword back into its sheath. Turning around she face the duo that was in trouble. A confident and just expression was facing Roki and Rinoa. She then breaks the silence. ¡®thou are not in danger anymore, for I am justice has threw them astray¡¯ Roki who was not very familiar in the way she was talking has trouble trying to said something but Rinoa on the other hand quickly thank her with a bright smile on her face ¡®thank you miss JoantheArc, I have heard a lot about you im lucky to meet you on my first day of playing¡¯ ¡®it is my pleasure young one, you show courage against the unjust and it¡¯s a character that is rare these days, since you are out of harms way I take my leave, farewell to the both of you¡¯ She slightly bow and make way to the exit before Rinoa rush to her while saying ¡®Miss JoantheArc can I and my friend here join your guild?¡¯ She turns and confidently said ¡®if both of you turn strong enough we would gladly accept you, so until then train hard young justice¡¯ She then leave the premise, with herself stared by multiple peoples. It was a sight to behold to see a lady knight to save people from distress, a sight far distant to see in the real world. After she has gone from sight, Rinoa rush to Roki front stating something him with a determined look; ¡®I have decided Roki-kun, lets train hard and enter the Sword of Ilios!¡¯ ¡®ah sure¡¯ ¡®and to do that lets see what quest do we have here¡¯ ¡®lets take this one first, a delivery quest we should get some experience¡¯ ¡®hey Rinoa why couldn¡¯t we take the monster extermination kind of quest, wouldn¡¯t it be more fun than just deliver stuff¡¯ ¡®ishhh you don¡¯t really know a thing about this game don¡¯t you¡¯ ¡®what?¡¯ ¡®nevermind, just listen to my explanation if new users start to play the game we could not travel outside the city¡­¡¯ ¡®why?¡¯ ¡®shussh just listen first questions later¡¯ ¡®ok¡¯ ¡®we are not allowed to go out from the city perimeter for us to adapt to our virtual first within this virtual reality and the duration period is two weeks¡¯ ¡®tw¡­¡¯ ¡®shussh!! Two weeks is not a long time as the time within the game are much more faster than real life, the time conversion from the real world to the virtual world is 4 hours to one hour. So by the end of the three days or so, our confinement period would end and you kill monster to your heart desire hehe¡¯ ¡®I see then we can log out right now and return back after three days then¡¯ ¡®nooooo, the forum said if we do some quest here within this time period we would gain double the amount of experience, so we should do some quest right now if not we will lose this golden opportunity¡¯ ¡®you know for one thing I really wonder how can popular girl like you can be so addicted to games¡¯ ¡®hey im not the only one okay, some of the girls at school also play this game¡¯ ¡®yeah yeah, can we go now I don¡¯t know why but im quite hungry right now¡¯ ¡®then eat the honey oat bred provided, it will return your satiety bar back to normal¡¯ ¡®Satiety bar?¡¯ ¡®ugh, just eat it!! Come and let¡¯s finish this mission¡¯ ¡®ouh yeah how to open the¡­¡¯ With an angered looked she throws at him a loaf of bread. Giving him only an eye signal hinting that she was mad at him for being too clueless. Following his childhood¡¯s friend rear end, they went through the bustling streets of Eraborn trying to find the location of their quest. While eating his bread, Roki watch the scene where different races communicate with each other well most of different races were users and the majority of the city are human even so it was a scene that he could only imagine in fantasy. loafing around walking through the street he bump to Rinoa who was 7 cm taller than him, he was inches away from bumping to her large mounds but he care less about it as for him she was only a friend. ¡®quit loafing around Roki, we are here¡¯ In front of them was building that resemble an ancient Chinese restaurant setting, red lanterns were hanging at the front door, while a blackboard stand was at the front introducing the menu of the day for the restaurant. Without delay, Rinoa enter the restaurant and Roki walk slowly tagging along from behind. In the inside people were chatting and enjoying their chinese cuisine meal. Waitresses with Asian look were serving the guest while wearing a red cheongsam a traditional Chinese garment. A major make over on the cheongsam was done leaving a side cut that extends up to the upper thigh of the waitress revealing their alluring pale white legs. ¡°this store owner really knows how to attract customer huh¡± For one thing Roki was quite impress by the owner way of attracting the customer but as he guess mens are all the same, show a little bit of skin and all the hungry wolves will come. Simple but yet adhere to men primal instinct sex and food. ¡°Damn the food smells good, ooo look at those man tao and those dumplings shit im already drooling¡± While Roki was staring at the delicious food serve in the restaurant, Rinoa was already asking around at the waiter and waitress about the giver of the quest. All of them point her to the above floor hinting that their boss resides in the room above. ¡®Roki come!¡¯ Climbing up the stairs, they then arrived at the second floor. The second floor was less busy than the floor below. Private area are made for guest to eat privately and comfortably without other disturbance. The atmosphere here was ambient and little tint of romantic. Going pass through those closed room, they then went into a private room with an emblem at its door in chinese character. As Rinoa opens it, heavy smell of perfumes spreads to the air going through their nostrils as they breathe in the virtual air. In front of them lay a woman in a loose Daxiushan, another traditional chinese dress which can be described as large sleeve gown. With a pipe on her hand, the loose clothing bare some part of her skin especially the mountainous region. Different from the cheery waitress, her face exude a cold expression but with a sense of pride within her eyes, with deep mascara lining her eye, it accentuate her beautiful Asian feautres. Staring at the both of them she then asks after exhaling smoke from her mouth. ¡®so what business do you have with Jade Dragon restaurant¡¯ Rather than a question it seems she was more of akin to ordering them to answer. Roki at the side didn¡¯t really care about her order but his more attentive to the alluring female beauty in front of him. For once in his meager life, he has met two beauties that made his heart skip a beat. Staring the pure white legs, his mind was swept away by indecent thought ignoring the current situation. Mustering up her courage, Rinoa told her the reason she was there going against the leering eyes of the cold confident lady. ¡®hello madam, I am Rinoa and this is my friend Roki. we are here for the request sent by you to the guild house.¡¯ ¡®ah ha I see, then are you ready to fail like the others from before¡¯ Her eyes were sneering to them giving hint of how previous new users always fail on completing the quest. The quest they have undertook were the most hardest for new user, with long duration and strenuous work it was the most unwanted quest for newbies. the quest giver itself was the thing that terrified the user the most, her demeanor and aura was intimidating even if they know she¡¯s just a NPC but her action and words were like a real person. But Rinoa was determined to finish this quest as rumors from the forum told the end reward was exceptional and would be an advantage for those whose was newly released to the outer world. Rinoa was really enthusiastic about playing this game, she has waited months after it released to buy the EroHelm, begging her parent to buy one for her and also another one for Roki. Her parent at first question her why should they buy for Roki also but she wittily answer them since they will be gone for the next year or so she suggest to them that she want to stay with their long time neighbor rather than living alone. So maybe as gratitude both of her parent buy another helm for Roki to used. Well they already thought of him as their own son and they believed he would take care of her really good. ¡®it doesn¡¯t matter I will proof to you that I will succeed your task madam¡¯ ¡®hoho I see you have good determination but those before you also said the same thing¡¯ If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. ¡®I wont let you down madam I promise¡¯ ¡®little lamb let action proof your determination rather than petty words, since im kind of bored I think it would be interesting if you can do my task or not¡¯ ¡®yes madam¡¯ ¡®let see if you can clear the first one or not, your first task is washing dishes is that ok with you?¡¯ ¡®yes madam¡¯ ¡®don¡¯t be too uptight just call me Miss Zhang, now go do your task¡¯ ¡®yes madam, lets go Roki¡¯ ¡®oh about that boy, his task is different from you¡¯ ¡®eh, I thought I would be doing it together with him¡¯ ¡®yours and him are different so now go on with your task leave him to me¡¯ ¡®but¡­¡¯ ¡®are you going against my order¡¯ Rinoa flinch, her words penetrate deep into her heart hinting to her she would fail her if she goes against her word. Gritting her teeth, she slowly walks away from both of them; ¡®I take my leave then, Roki-kun be safe¡¯ Roki just nod while see his friend solemnly walk out of the door. Rinoa guided by one of the waitress was taken at the back of the kitchen. Her eyes show horror as the plates and dishes that was needed to be wash was like mountain in height. Once again she didn¡¯t falter grabbing a sponge on both hands she then proceed to complete her task. While upstairs, Roki was alone with the Miss Zhang, it was a staring contest between both of them. But from before what he was staring was not her eyes but her pure white legs. She then calmly said; ¡®You have got guts boy for staring straight at my expose leg¡¯ ¡®it was served in front of me it would be rude not to benefit from it don¡¯t you think¡¯ ¡®hohoho I like you boy! I don¡¯t know if its stupidity or confidence but I like it, tell me now why do you follow that girl¡¯ ¡®hmm¡­ im just helping my friend here playing the game¡¯ ¡®game you say?¡¯ ¡®ah¡¯ He accidently said he was playing the game, to the non-player this was their real life and the notion of it being a game was not program into their data. He quickly response back to her; ¡®I mean Im helping her to complete the task you provided¡¯ ¡®I see¡¯ ¡®so you do not desire of what I have for those who succeed?¡¯ ¡®hmm no I guess, either way as long as is not boring I wouldn¡¯t mind¡¯ ¡®hoho boring you say, well then since you brazenly answer it here give me your hand¡¯ ¡®hmm you are not trying to anything weird right¡¯ ¡®haha do not worry boy, its just a good gesture from the boring old me¡¯ ¡®you old? I wouldn¡¯t believe that even if it was real, your beauty does not age Miss Zhang¡¯ ¡®sweet talking wont help you boy¡¯ ¡®it¡¯s the truth!¡¯ He puff up his chest stating to her that it was the truth rather sweet talking. ¡®you amuse me boy, come give me your hand¡¯ Roki bring his hand above the palm of Miss Zhang, letting it rest above it she then close her eyes and chant a foreign language in front of him. He was alert and suspicious of these actions but he let it be hoping to see what would happen. Bright light envelops his hand and suddenly a new window open up in front of him.

After they have gone from the light, the hidden pathway slowly close up leaving the room empty. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// After eight hours or so, Rinoa finally finish the mountain pile of dirty dishes, she was exhausted mentally and fatiguely. During rush hour, heaps of dishes came straight into her sink increasing her workload. She was devastated but hold strong as she was determined to complete this quest. Never in her life she has wash this many dishes in one day. Finishing her last one, a blue window opens up in front of her;
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª You have completed one of the task, please proceed to the next task provided ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
It wasn¡¯t finish, yes it¡¯s a chain quest and Rinoa already knows about it. Most of the new users who attempt this quest quit at the middle as they were too tired of doing task that see no end and afraid of wasting two weeks of virtual playing they concede and went to accomplish other quest. From the forums told how many users have different task even from the beginning, it will be random for each person so they do not know what to expect. Rinoa knows what she has got herself into and she knows that she can succeed it. The achievements that she gains from her school were all attain by her hardwork and not just her talent or beauty. Looking at the real time in the menu window, she has currently played the game around 2 hours. She already told Okaa-san that they will be playing the game but Okaa-san already told them to not play more than 2 hours continuously if not she will disconnect the line for the game. Within Rina¡¯s heart she knows it must be from her parent¡¯s instruction. Troublesome parent, but at least she knew that her parent are worried about her so she comply with their wishes. Finishing the task at the exact 8 hours mark, she disconnect from the game returning back to real life. Opening her eyes, she then removed the EroHelm. Getting up from her bed, she stretch a bit her body. she then heard Okaa-san voice; ¡®Layla-chan! Kichi-kun! Come downstairs and have some lunch¡¯ Luckily she was out from the game if not she would miss Okaa-san delicious food. Compare to her mother well Layla took a liking to Kichi-kun¡¯s mother cooking as it was far better. she sighed in her mind on why her mother do not know how to cook. ¡®okay, we will be in a minute¡¯ ¡®faster or the food will get cold¡¯ ¡®haiiiit¡¯ Going into Kichi-kun¡¯s room, she saw him still laying on the bed playing the virtual game. looking at the defenseless body of her childhood friend pique her interest but then she suddenly blush, before she could think of anything else, she shakes her head trying to snap back. pouting her face without reason she then push a button at the EroHelm side. ¡®hey Kichi-kun, okaa-san said to stop first and have lunch first¡¯ ¡®oh ok, wait how can I hear you and where are you¡¯ ¡®baka Kichi, the EroHelm has a function to speak directly to the user while they are playing, if you late I will finish the food first bye!!¡¯ ¡®ugh what a glutton that girl¡¯ After disconnecting from the game, Roki went downstairs and saw Layla already stuffing her mouth with food. ¡®sheesh¡¯ ¡®what do you mean¡¯ ¡®nothing just eat Layla¡¯ ¡®hmph fine¡¯ Eating his food calmly, he fills up his belly with a homely meal made from his mother, her dishes were exceptionally delicious, for lunch she made an exceptional curry rice. The spices, the tonkatsu, the gravy and the rice all fit together harmoniously. He then end lunch with a cup of green tea. ¡®hahh, that¡¯s good¡¯ Finishing his meal, his childhood friend was still eating, plate over plate he wonder where those foods that she ate goes to. One thing for sure even if she eats a lot she was still slim and not fat or maybe all those fat went to those big breast of hers. That was thought that came to his mind while watching her. even so he left the dining table and watch some television show to kill some time. While eating she saw Kichi went to the living room, she then asks him with her mouth still half full with rice; ¡®kichi-kun, why aren¡¯t you continue playing? Is it boring?¡¯ ¡®nah it was fun, im just taking time until you finish eating¡¯ Her cheeks flush a bit after hearing his concern to her and at the same time the sudden care from him made her choke a bit, grabbing a glass of water hurriedly she gulp down the whole glass relieving of her from the choke. Roki glance at the back hearing the commotion, he asks; ¡®what wrong?¡¯ Still feeling post-choking, she just gave him an okay sign. Leisurely sitting on the sofa Kichiro watch the tv, feeling obligated of free loading in her neighbor¡¯s house, Layla do the dishes. After finishing she then slouch together with Kichiro on the sofa, she brazenly laid her head on Kichiro¡¯s lap. Kichiro care less about her action and focus on watching; After watching for a while, she ask him; ¡®hey kichi-kun, you don¡¯t mind me doing this¡¯ ¡®no¡¯ ¡®why?¡¯ ¡®hmm just so¡¯ ¡®that¡¯s not an answer¡¯ ¡®then I have no answer, hey wake me up after 20 minutes im gonna power nap for awhile¡¯ ¡®Kichi-kun! Don¡¯t ignore me and don¡¯t pretend to be asleep, Kichi? Kichi? Ugh fine I will wake you up after this sheesh huh~ I forgot to ask him what was his task maybe next time then¡¯ ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// After a while both of them return to the world of Gaia. Rinoa was searching for Roki while finding Miss Zhang to gain her next task. Moving around the restaurant premise, she ask around the waitress if they have seen him or not. None of them saw Roki, giving up on finding Roki she then went to the second floor entering the den of the dragon or more accurately a dragoness Opening the door, she then met eye to eye with Miss Zhang. ¡®hello madam, I have finish my task¡¯ ¡®girl, didn¡¯t I say call me Miss Zhang¡¯ ¡®sorry Miss Zhang¡¯ ¡®no worries, since you have finish the endurance test let see if you can tackle this one next¡¯ ¡®endurance test?¡¯ ¡®come follow me¡¯ Miss Zhang then brought her to another room fill with books and scripture lining at multiple book shelves, in the middle was a table along with an abacus and writing material. While she was order to sit by the table, ¡®wait here¡¯ She went through a bookshelf and brought along large quantity of scriptures and accounting books. ¡®do you know how to used this girl¡¯ ¡®ah yes¡¯ ¡®that¡¯s good, no need for me to teach you then, all this book and scripture are the past months and years of our restaurant budget, I want you to calculate it all and organize more thoroughly, understood?¡¯ She was blanked for a moment not knowing that the task on hand would be managing their account. ¡®ah yes¡¯ ¡®good then if you have finish see me after this¡¯ Leaving the poor Rinoa alone by herself going through all those numbers, Miss Zhang return back to her room. ¡®don¡¯t worry Rinoa you can do this, you can do this its all for the sake of leveling fast and enter the guild Sword of Ilios, fighting Rinoa!!¡¯ She gave herself a motivational pep talk, increasing her determination of completing this task. On the other hand, after Miss Zhang was seated back on her chair, the hidden door suddenly open revealing a ragged Roki exiting out from the pathway. ¡®ohh you finish already?¡¯ ¡®it was fun, so whats next¡¯ He said that with a grin on his face, a grin that was hard to express by this boy since ages ago. It was a long time ago since he has sincerely grin like this. ¡®enthusiastic aren¡¯t you, come give me your hand¡¯ Once again his hand envelop by a bright light along with a sudden notification.

Chapter 3: Blood A dim light from a candle stick stood in the middle of a dark gloomy room fill with dust and books. At the center of it, a young elf was continuously moving her hands and her mind calculating numbers from different books and scripture. Handling the abacus like an expert, she has honed her skill from the countless time of being treasurer for classroom during her previous years and being vice-president for a student council for a few months now. It was remarkable how she handle all these workload along with sports activities, her studies and playing her favorite game. I guess hard work does come along with talent, a talent girl like Rinoa shows how talent cannot bloom without the earth that support it and in other word hard work. Right now Rinoa was pushing herself to continue her streak of hard work to prosper in this game, to lead an advantage against all other for her to come on top. ¡°How long has it been that I have cooped up in this dusty and gloomy room, 1 day? 2 days? I have lost track of time since being in her, this task is no joke no wonder most of them quit half way through. But no matter im not gonna quit I will not quit, but¡­¡­I hope Roki could pull through this hurdle¡± It has been two days since both of them seen each other, Rinoa lock up in the accounting room while Roki well lets say his in a deep dark place also. A man in a dark room, puffing his breath as deep as he can. Each of his breath can be heard in the enclosed room, along with a bizarre sound that accompanies him in this lonely room. a sound that resemble closely to a monster of some sort. As it circle Roki, like it was circling its prey. At the center, a dim light shine a bit at his face, a grinning Roki said while catching his breath; ¡®huh huh huh huh, never felt alive¡¯ White light envelops his body in the cold dark atmosphere. Inside Miss Zhang room, a beautiful lady barring her white legs grins while seeing Roki current situation through her transparent crystal ball. ¡®hoho interesting boy indeed I chose well, hmm how about that other girl, I think its been three days since she¡¯s in there, quite a determination that she have¡¯ Then a door knock was heard by her door. Slowly opening, a young female elf came with her eyes looking disorientated but still manage herself to focus the task on hand. It was Rinoa slowly dragging her feet, dragging her worn out body and mind. ¡®oh its you girl¡¯ ¡®miss Zhang, I have finish my task¡¯ ¡®hmmm I guess you finish the task then¡¯ ¡®yes I did¡¯ ¡®well well so let¡¯s see if you can handle this one next¡¯ ¡®yes I will¡¯ ¡®very well then your next task is to be a full time waitress for a whole 2 days without any rest, be sure to treat the guest with respect now go get your clothes from one of the waitress¡¯ *thump* Rinoa body drop down to the floor, it seems the workload was too much for her brain as she collapse due to fatigue ¡®hmm collapse huh, maybe I will ask someone to take her out¡¯. In the real world, Layla woke up after collapsing suddenly. ¡®huh~ I guess my mind has reach its limit then, better rest for a while, ouh yeah I forgot Kichi I hope he¡¯s¡­..¡¯ She fall asleep silently after removing the EroHelm, playing for 12 hours straight in reality really put a toll in her mind. Even before she sleep Layla still thought about Kichiro¡¯s wellbeing. While she was still asleep, Kichiro was still in the game playing. Once again the hidden pathway opens and Roki exit himself out of the dark pathway. Rather than ragged from before currently he was shirtless and his pants was barely intact, dirt and smudged cover his entire body. His expression was blank as usual and while with a sword on his hand he unsheathes it while saying; ¡®got anything else?¡¯ Deep within his eye was a man who wants more, wants more of what he¡¯s been dying for, wants more that make his heartbeat. ¡®this is the last one and I sure of you it will be much more interesting than the other 4 hehe¡¯ ¡®bring it on¡¯ Again Roki brought his hand above the palm of Miss Zhang, light glows at both of their hands as it touch. Without any words, Roki return back into the pit of darkness slowly fades away from sight. While looking at his back Miss Zhang blink her eyes and just for a second it turn into a slit eye that resemble a reptile. And it turns back to human as she blinks once again. ¡®oops I almost leak out my mana haha, that boy gives me goosebumps hoho¡¯ ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// In the real world, the sun has set and dusk has arrived. Red lining are manifested on the sky above the dwelling of our main character house. In the kitchen, Okaa-san was busy chopping up vegetables for dinner this evening, since there was another mouth to feed her dishes needs to be made more than usual. More over with her new child that has a big appetite, her speed in cooking increased a notch. Most would think its an increased in burden but to her its an enjoyment to cook. It was like a spark has been initiated within her heart. After a while dinner was served, different kind of dishes are on the table. Just by looking at it will make your mouth drool. It was like a banquet in this humble home of theirs. Calling both of them for dinner, none of them reply. ¡®huh what are these kids doing¡¯ Going up to their room, Okaa-san went into the guest room first. Upon opening the door, Layla was sleeping with her mid rift exposed quite indecently. Well she was wearing only a simple tshirt and cotton shorts. ¡®This girl still sleeps like she used to, it would be a problem if my son was a pervert thank god he wasn¡¯t¡¯ Approaching her by the bedside, she nudges her softly trying to awaken her from slumber. Opening her eyes, she ask Okaa-san; ¡®ah okaa-san how long I gave been sleeping?¡¯ ¡®not a clue, get ready and bring Kichiro along, I have prepared dinner downstairs¡¯ ¡®dinner?? Huhu okay Okaa-san¡¯ As okaa-san went downstairs, Layla freshen up herself in the bathroom. Splashing cold water at her face, the coldness jolt her mind back to her senses. Opening her suitcase that she brought from before, she change her clothes from the simple t to a new white tube top. Removing her tshirt she exposes her bountiful curves of fresh white skin, wearing a simple light blue bra supporting her ample chest. She then try to wear the tube top until her eyes glance to the door, her face froze and gradually her white skin turns to pinkish red. A few drop of blood drops into the floor at the front of the door tarnishing its clean state. The source of the red blood was from the only male in the house, Kichiro. With his usual blank face the only thing that was different from usual was his nose dripping blood from both of his nostril. I guess even Kichiro cannot withstand the might of alluring body. while still dripping like a waterfall, Kichiro told her; ¡®dinner¡­..downstairs¡­..bye then¡¯ Casually walking away like nothing happen, Kichiro remove himself from the awkward situation yet dangerous in nature. As he leaved, wave of killing intent was exuding from within the guest room until shout resound; ¡®Kichi-kun!!!!!!!!!¡¯ Before he could reach the dining table a sudden drop kick fell down to his unfortunate body. After the incident is resolve or barely resolve both of them dine in for dinner while sitting opposite at each other. Silently eating their food, Kichiro was in a calm manner but with a red bulge on his head probably from one of Layla¡¯s attack. While Layla, was eating hurriedly with an expression of discontent on her face. This time she managed to wear the tube top, the upper part was tight that it reveal the magnificent twin curves. Sadly no one was around to enjoy it except for Kichiro. Maintaining his usual calmness, once again the urge to see those twin was fighting his other will of trying not to see. The memories of bliss from before was still etches clearly in his mind. hut he fought those urges unless he want to get another bump on his head. ¡®im done!¡¯ Layla finish her food as fast as she could but still devour most of the dishes. After washing the dishes she then went straight back to her room. ¡®araaa, are you guys quarrelling how sweet¡¯ ¡®okaa-san its just a misunderstanding¡¯ ¡®be sure to treat her good Kichiro¡¯ ¡®haitt haittt kaa-san¡¯ After eating his fill, he then went to see Layla to straighten things out. As he open the door, Layla was already in the game. He could only sigh ¡°Best not to disturb her¡± He return to his room, removing his shirt and pants leaving with only his boxer. Opening the window to his room letting some fresh air under this summer night, he was preparing himself and the room for a suitable environment for him before he goes back to the virtual reality. Wearing the EroHelm, he said after laying on his bed; ¡®time to get my heart beating¡¯ ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// The night envelops the city of Eraborn. Even during the night, its street was still bustling it was during the day. yellow light brighten the roads and alleyway of Eraborn as its citizen do its business. Most of them were out to enjoy the night life, going to the bar, the theatre and even the 18+ district. On the other hand for people who are decent in nature and enjoy the environment of a nice restaurant went to indulge at the Jade Dragon restaurant. Every night the restaurant was full with customer, and every table was fill with Asian cuisines that were mouthwatering. Among them many of waitress serving their customer, an elf beauty caught the attention of those who comes to dine. This beauty itself increased the numbers of customer just by being there for two nights. Even under the busy workload, she was still able to maintain her smile and good service to the customer. Tonight was her last night as a waitress; the task this time was less agonizing and boring, as meeting with people and serving customer make her heart felt much more easier to endure the no-rest task. But before her last hour end, a group of people enter the restaurant. The numbers amount to 6 people the maximum number for a party. As they enter there she was at the center, a familiar face. noticing the woman at the center, Rinoa unconsciously shouted; ¡®ah! Miss JoantheArc¡¯ Her sudden shout caught the attention of the woman in-name. JoantheArc calmly look at the source of the voice and immediately recognize her as soon as she saw her. ¡®ah it¡¯s the girl from the other day, it seems you are doing a difficult quest¡¯ ¡®ah yes, I heard from the forum that this place is a good place start with during the confinement period¡¯ ¡®you can expect good reward from this quest as it also help me greatly during my newbie days¡¯ ¡®eh you have done this quest from before?¡¯ ¡®of course back in those day I accidentally pick up this quest and by preserving to the end I have gotten the reward¡¯ Before they could continue talking another waitress come up to them interfering their little meeting; ¡®Rinoa-chan how about you let the guest be seated first, rather than talking while standing¡¯ ¡®ah yes, im sorry it was rude of me, Miss JoantheArc please be seated¡¯ Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings. Rinoa then brought JoantheArc and her companion to a table, once seated, she served them like she was always do brimming with brightness. After serving them all with delicious delicacies, her task was done complete as the bell rung hinting the end of her 48 hours¡¯ work shift. Excited that she has finished her task, she takes upon the chance to sit next to her role model and goal, JoantheArc. ¡®it seems you have finish another I presume¡¯ ¡®yes I did¡¯ ¡®is this the third one¡¯ ¡®how did you know? Isn¡¯t the task are random by nature?¡¯ ¡®ouh I see I didn¡¯t know that, back in those days my first task was washing dishes, second do some accounting and the third being a waitress here in this place¡¯ ¡®wow, my task are all the same as you, can you tell me next one?¡¯ ¡®girl, it would not be appropriate if I tell you don¡¯t I¡¯ ¡®ah yes you maybe right I do want to enter the Sword of Ilios by my own power¡¯ Another voice intervenes and this time the voice was a man with a loud voice; ¡®haha this girl want to enter our guild, dream on little girl haha¡¯ ¡®Silence Baduk, do not discourage this newbie, she has a bright future¡¯ Then another voice intervenes this time was the voice of another man but with a weird high pitch voice; ¡®yaa Baduk, don¡¯t always bully the nooby you know how our vice-commander here don¡¯t like injustice¡¯ ¡®shut yer trap Orton, im not bullying anyone im just stating the facts only¡¯ As both the huge size Baduk and skinny Orton quarrel, JoantheArc non-chalantly releases two quick hilt-strikes to both of their heads leaving a red bump on their head while depleting a bit of their HP. ¡®stop it both of you, you are scaring this girl here¡¯ ¡®ah, no its ok Miss JoantheArc¡¯ ¡®im sorry for their misbehavior, ouh yes I forgot to introduce my party, this is my 6 man party, guys politely introduce yourselves and if you are rude be aware that training from hell is coming for you¡¯ All of them said ¡®yes maam¡¯ Rinoa was only astounded by the leadership that JoantheArc exudes, her ability to command was nothing take light off. Her group then introduce themselves; ¡®im Baduk,human, Warrior level 98, be afraid of my strength little girl haha¡¯ ¡®shut it Baduk my turn, Orton human, Swordman level 98. Just ignore this brute girl he just have a loudmouth¡¯ ¡®what did you say¡­¡¯ Another man came up while shushing Baduk with his finger on his lip, he was an elf with beautiful facial features, I guess male or female those who choose elf would always be beautiful; ¡®shush Baduk, Im Amdir, elf Acolyte level 99, please to meet you¡¯ His demeanor was like a gentleman, calm and collective. Then a female voice sound from the back; ¡®hello, im Regina, human magician level 96, please treat me well¡¯ A polite woman with gracious attitude. Different from the rowdy two people these two are more polite in nature and do not seek the dispute of others. The last one was a boy or a man? His short stature was more or less the same as Roki¡¯s height but his facial feature that looks like a baby face made him more to a boy rather than a man; ¡®im Bieber, human Guardsman, level 92, try not to bother Vice-commander JoantheArc¡¯ Yup his name is bieber, no wonder he has that kind of face. His attitude was clearly different from the rest, as his reaction toward Rinoa was cold. It seems he do not like stranger to bother his vice-commander. Rinoa was amazed and shock at the same time, this group of people was at the front line of having high level, maybe not as high as JoantheArc but level 90 above after only 5 month of released was an astounded feat. They must be dedicated to be playing this game alongside JoantheArc. Worthy of calling the top 3 guild, Sword of Ilios. Moreover the one call Bieber has class that hard to obtain, a guardsman, even though its not a hidden job like JoantheArc it was still boast to be a hard quest to complete for those who yearn to be a guardsman. ¡®wow you are all so strong, I wish could party with you guys¡¯ ¡®quit dreaming¡¯ Said Bieber, the boyish looking face but his comment was retort by JoantheArc herself; ¡®Bieber control yourselves, do not discourage and the will of this lady, our guild need more of people like this people who are striving for success and greatness and within her eyes I see greatness.¡¯ ¡®yes maam¡¯ ¡®your voice still holds displease Bieber, very well let me tell you that the task this girl is doing is one of the hardest quest for beginner user to do and if she does succeed I assure of you that she will catch up to you guys in no time and I myself I have done this quest and even for I this was hard and grueling quest that needs perseverance and ambition¡¯ ¡®yes maam, I understood¡¯ After defending Rinoa, Rinoa face showing the face of admiration toward her idol. Never has she thought that she would be defended by the woman the she look up to. ¡®Miss JoantheArc, I will work hard to meet up with your expectation, I promise¡¯ ¡®that is good young one, I almost forgot you haven¡¯t introduce yourselves, it would courteous to introduce yourselves after us¡¯ ¡®ah yes, im¡­.¡¯ ¡®she is Rinoa, elf level 1 classless, remember that Little Joan¡¯ A cold voice but filled with a strong and powerful aura. Coming down from the stairs elegantly it was none other than Miss Zhang. ¡®who are you to called our Vice-commander like that!!¡¯ Shout Bieber as he was clearly enraged by the disrespect shown to his vice-commander; ¡®stand down, Bieber¡¯ ¡®but she¡¯ ¡®she¡¯s and old friend of mine, so be polite¡¯ ¡®yes maam¡¯ ¡®its been a long time Miss Zhang, you are still young and beautiful as ever¡¯ ¡®cut the crap Joan, you have been busy aren¡¯t you and for someone as high status to come down here at my rundown restaurant is not fitting for you¡¯ ¡®miss Zhang, this place is a fond memory in my heart, while stopping by here I brought my companion to taste the delicious food served here and for a rundown restaurant it sure is bright and lovely¡¯ ¡®flattering do not suit you Joan, anyway this girl Rinoa, is a promising newbie, for your information she has completed most of her task much faster than you, you know¡¯ ¡®I see, then it would be wise if I befriend her right now before letting her go away to the other guild¡¯ ¡®eh you want to be my friend, Miss JoantheArc¡¯ ¡®of course, even Miss Zhang said so, surely in the future you would be a great member of the guild, for now lets be friend first¡¯ ¡®ok¡¯ After both of them acknowledge themselves as friend, the friend list for Rinoa was fill with a single name and that name was JoantheArc. She was feeling very lucky for being a friend of this incredible woman.¡¯ ¡®its been a great meeting with the both of you, me and my group will be leaving for us have a great quest to succeed, grow and become stronger Rinoa for me to acknowledge you as one of our own and Miss Zhang please train her well¡¯ ¡®yes I will¡¯ Rinoa shout confidently while Miss Zhang only slightly nod, after the group left, ¡®well then since they are gone how I about I proceed in giving your new task¡¯ ¡®yes Miss Zhang!¡¯ ¡®confident eh little Rinoa, your next task will be retrieving the special spices for our restaurant and the store is way opposite of our restaurant, and here¡¯s the catch I want you to only get to the place by running through the outer pave way and not through the inner side, come here and give me your hand¡¯ Handing out her hand, Miss Zhang then grab a hold and cast a drop of blood to her dorsum of the hand etching a weird symbol; ¡®what this Miss Zhang?¡¯ ¡®it¡¯s a monitoring spell, if you run a different path this thing will detect and you will fail, got it?¡¯ ¡®yes!¡¯ ¡®now go don¡¯t forget each spice you brought will be one whole circle and bring me 30 of it¡¯ ¡®yes miss Zhang!¡¯ She then left the restaurant to retrieve the spices. While Miss Zhang going back up, there he was Roki shirtless going downstairs that he seems looking for something; ¡®boy what are you doing out here?¡¯ ¡®ouh yeah I just finish and since im lid of getting famish, I think I want to have dinner care to join me?¡¯ ¡®hoho once again you prove me to be the most interesting¡¯ Seated at the private section on the second floor, both of them enjoy their meal. Miss Zhang earnestly look at Roki as he calmly eat his food. Staring at him intently she unconsciously lick her lips. Roki then said; ¡®wow this is really good, I really like how its taste¡¯ ¡®of course our chef is one of the best, the food will always be delicious to the tongue of human¡¯ ¡®I see¡¯ ¡®Roki since you have finish the last one that I can give, please go and meet this woman at this store she will then proceed to your next task¡¯ ¡®oh okay, I hope it wont be boring¡¯ ¡®I assure of you it will keep you on your toes, as the matter of fact, you have earn this title¡¯ ¡®title?¡¯ ¡®yes title, title is a rare status that can hardly anyone could get, it would affect you in different kind of ways while providing good advantage¡¯ ¡®I see so what¡¯s the catch¡¯ ¡®hoho you catch fast boy, no wonder I have pick an interest in you, the catch is a secret~, it¡¯s a gamble boy once you get it, it cannot be deleted easily and the effect will always stay on, so how? Whats your decision?¡¯ ¡®I accept then¡¯ ¡®good choice, come closer to me my boy¡¯ Roki come close to Miss Zhang ¡®no much closer¡¯ Again he close the gap a bit more; ¡®boy you need to be closer¡¯ Now its getting weird, Roki face and Miss Zhang face was only 4 to 5cm away from each other, but he close it little bit; ¡®for one thing boy, you really don¡¯t know when a woman invites you¡¯ ¡®huh?¡¯ She close the gap swiftly and her lips touches Roki¡¯s lip. Flabbergasted by the situation, Roki was panicking this sort of situation wasn¡¯t really a common thing for him. But Miss Zhang make sure he was at ease, wrapping her soft white hands around the nape of Roki¡¯s she continue to kiss the lips of the virgin boy. Then his expression ease, as it goes on he was much more comfortable. Miss Zhang then entwines her tongue with Roki¡¯s increasing the overall pleasure leaving both of them in ecstasy. Roki was defeated, his urges give in and to the both of them, their romance last until the break of dawn. The sun has come up from the east, and in the private section lay two people by each other side deep in their slumber. Miss Zhang clothes was loose to the point of revealing those that should not be revealed, the half naked boy Roki was now a man or half naked man in fact. As he opens up his eye from deep slumber, a blue window was in front of him telling him;
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª You have gained the Title Jade Dragon Leverage! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡® Chapter 4: Emergence It was a new day and Roki currently was strolling around the streets of Eraborn. It was still early, the streets was still vacant not many people are around only drunkards are laying around the street after passing out. A few early morning people were getting up doing their usual routine. While trying to found the store that he was assigned to, he walk pass through the food market street. Store owners are all prepping their store before it opens. Observing it while walking slowly, he was still in disbelief on how real this was, even more so was what had happen last night. his mind was fuzzy but he can remember it clearly. His expression turns happy or too happy plus with a weird pervert smile. For one thing after having a taste of it, he really does know why people like it. After daydreaming on the middle of the street, he then accidentally bumps into something. It was soft, soft like pudding and pudding taste good. A thought cross his mind, eating the pudding it would totally taste good, but then a voiced broke him from the day dream and the voice was very familiar. ¡®Roki, watch where are you going¡¯ A hard slap land perfectly on his right cheek, sending his face and his health bar flying. ¡®oww, that hurts Rinoa¡¯ ¡®then why did you bump your face into my breast then? Explain that!¡¯ ¡®it was unintentional, I was looking for a store and I wasn¡¯t looking¡¯ ¡®yeah right I notice you from afar and calling you, but you walk without giving any response with a weird expression on your face¡¯ ¡®ah?¡¯ ¡®and since when did you have an expression like that I have never seen that before, it was kind of a happy kind of face but felt very weird¡¯ ¡®you are overthinking Rinoa, im just having fun in the game so let it be¡¯ ¡®huh fine then, by the way whats your task from Miss Zhang its been a while since I saw you¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t know it seems my next task is at this place called Mysterious Elixir, im searching and still I cant find it¡¯ Rinoa was showing a blank face toward Roki; ¡®hey¡¯ ¡®what?¡¯ ¡®try turning your head to the side¡¯ Roki turn his head around and saw the store¡¯s name board *Mysterious Elixir, all kind of potion and concoction to your needs ;)* ¡®oh it¡¯s the store, thanks Rinoa I will see you later k, im in a hurry¡¯ ¡°hurry my ass, just a while ago you were day dreaming, again why he is so dense did he forgot already that he sees me naked from before, I was hoping for a reconciliation or something ugh that Kichi, he¡¯s always getting me riled up, next time I see him I gonna beat some sense into him¡± Rinoa then went her way continue her running while in her grasp was a small bottle label; *special spice* On the other hand, Roki enter the store that he was assigned to. Seeing the store from the inside, he somewhat familiar with the interior of the store. Like something was amiss, he racks his brain while scanning the store. Then he heard a voice; ¡®araa if isn¡¯t the boy from before, what brings you here in this old woman store¡¯ ¡®ah, obaa-san, you are the one during my first day here¡¯ ¡®it seems fate brought us together again boya¡¯ ¡®ouh yes this is a letter from Miss Zhang, she said my next task would be here¡¯ Reading the letter, her face then carved a smile, like she knew the content of the letter. ¡®I guess my intuition is still sharp as ever hahaha¡¯ She laugh like old woman do; ¡®what do you mean obaa-san?¡¯ ¡®come boya, you have a lot to learn and since the dragoness have given her blessing to you, we need to make haste¡¯ ¡®dragoness? Make haste?¡¯ ¡®come, you have only a week left until the end of your period¡¯ ¡®ah yes¡¯ Roki obediently follow the old woman to the back of the store. Oblivious to what the old woman said he didn¡¯t know that she notice of his confinement period, if he question her he would have known more about the old baba and his quest. Brought into an enclosed room that was only lighted by candle light, it was dim and gloomy. At the center of the floor were marking of a spell circle. Large enough to fit a whole dining table on it. ¡®boya, did Zhang gave you the five skills?¡¯ ¡®ah yes¡¯ ¡®very well then, and did you earn the title from her?¡¯ ¡®ah yes¡¯ ¡®good now we can proceed on strengthening the five skills, what level are those 5 skills at?¡¯ ¡®hmm I don¡¯t know obaa-san, I really don¡¯t¡¯ ¡®huh~ for a such an incredible boy to not know the simplest thing makes me dumbfounded¡¯ ¡®don¡¯t blame me obaa-san, im just having fun¡¯ ¡®fun? Nevermind boya, just imagine to see your skills in your head and then it will manifested itself¡¯ ¡®I see¡¯ ¡°Skill window¡±
Skill Window: Sword Strike Intermediate Lv.5 Heal Intermediate Lv.4 Increase Concentration Intermediate Lv.3 Stealth Intermediate Lv.1 Soul Beat Intermediate Lv.1
¡®obaa-san most of them are intermediate level five to one¡¯ ¡®hoho impressive, very impressive¡¯ Once again, Roki do not know the importance of skill level in this game. He didn¡¯t even know the basic of the game, he was here only because of Rinoa and right now the fun in it brought him to the game even without the persuasion of Rinoa. ¡®boya step into the magic circle and prepared to be transported¡¯ ¡®ok¡­.wait what?¡¯ ¡®it¡¯s the same as before boya, continue to use all of those skills as much as you can until the time end¡¯ ¡®ok, so what will I be facing?¡¯ ¡®things that make your spine shivers hahaha¡¯ ¡®looking forward to it then¡¯ Without further ado, Roki step into the magic circle and vanish into thin air, the old baba stare at the magic circle while within her said; ¡°fate brought him to us and one day surely¡­¡± Outside the store, a woman was running frantically. At the corner of her eye, the stamina bar continuously start to deplete. As the bar turn to nil, her body abruptly stop. Stamina bar indicate the amount of physical activities that the user can used, stamina will always be consumed if the user continuously engage in physical activity outside of resting state. Ways of increasing stamina is through allocating points and by leveling up and the unorthodox way of training like in real life. Currently what she is doing is the exact way of increasing her stamina bar. This is the hidden benefit of doing the task. She began to notice it when she was running for the 7th spice bottle. She knew that her duration of running was able to persist longer than before. Noticing that she was becoming stronger, it undeniably increased her motivation to continue doing this arduous task. Three days passed and she was running her last lap. The sky has turned dark; the street was fill with people and users. Tonight a festival was being held, people are merry and cheering all together. Drinking beer and feasting the variety of delicacies sold at the street vendors. She was unaware of the current event. Tonight was the night to celebrate the Night of the Moon Deity, Bulan. Within this world of Gaia, countless deities are worship by the population. For the population of Eraborn and the majority of known kingdom across the continent, they worship the twelve main deities and Bulan is one of them. Bulan is a female deity that was depict as everlasting beauty. She governs the beauty of the night, the tide of the sea, the female monthly cycle and also the dark side of the moon, lunacy. The depiction of her was told to be a silver hair beauty with porcelain like white skin and a golden eye that mesmerizes anyone who seen it. Her body was alluring like no mortal could withstand even man or woman. The gown that she wore was said to be made by silk woven under the gravity of the moon holding mystical power. As the citizen of Eraborn bathe under the moonlight celebrating their deity festival, they feast and drunk themselves to their desire. Meanwhile, amazed by the event Rinoa was excited the festive. Staring over the people and occasional events, she was awestruck in heart she also would like to taste all those delicious food, some pastry are made into a crescent shape, some food are made with ingredients associated with the moon. But even with that her urge to become stronger outwit her glutton. Continuously running and running, she then arrived in front of the Jade Dragon Restaurant. ¡®at last, the last one huh huh¡¯ She enters and another whole scene of festive was in front of her. The whole restaurant was full of diners and food. Even the decoration of the restaurant was exquisite collaborating with the occasion. While they are all dine in enjoyment, Miss Zhang was monitoring from the second floor. Her demeanor has never change since the first time she met her. not an ounce of warmth can be seen within her deep abyss eye. But still she weave through the crowd and the waitress and proceed to climb the stairs. Reaching the second floor, they both stare at each other and Rinoa hand out the last bottle of spice. ¡®congratulation Rinoa, you past the task¡¯ ¡®thank you¡¯ Rinoa was still staring at Miss Zhang hoping for something. Annoy by her stare she then ask; ¡®what are you staring at?¡¯ ¡®my next task¡¯ ¡®oh, don¡¯t worry just enjoy the festive for tonight¡¯ A sense of disbelief was in her eyes, the things that she speak off was far that Rinoa can ever imagine. Nearly standing there like a statue hoping it was just a ruse. Miss Zhang ignore her stubborn attitude and leave her to stand. ¡°does she really mean it?¡± After being left for a while, Rinoa gave in to her growling stomach and join the guest and waitress. Meanwhile, a giant hand drop to the ground and upon impact hurl dust and debris to the surrounding. A shadow leap from the cloud of dust, holding a sword in his right hand. The face of this short man was smiling from ear to ear, grinning as wide as he can with his eyes looking sharp at his target. In front of him was a statue, a 10 meter size statue to be exact. The statue look exactly like a thousand hand Buddha but more menacing in nature rather than the peace loving Buddha. Once again the thousand hands Buddha deliver multiple attacks using its large stone hand. But one by one it was dodged by the young man. He dodge it by the last second but still the impact cause repercussion decreasing his so little health point. It immediately lead it to drop to zero but without the constant auto heal that he learned by himself, he would have drop dead by the second. Auto heal, Roki learned through countless time of reciting the chant for heal and after numerous chanting he shorten the chant until he can chant it within his mind without uttering a single word. That is how he learns the sub-skill for heal, auto-heal. ¡°sheesh why is it attack pattern becoming more frantic, just a while ago it was much easier to dodge¡± ¡°damn it, those hands are troubling¡± Roki silently cast a spell the only magic that he knows. Taking 3 second to complete the incantation. A burst of weak light came out of his hand. A sudden collision occurs between an invisible force with the giant stone hand. Halting the incoming attack it leaves a 10 second gap for Roki to avoid the attack. The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. Soul beat, a beginner magic spell, practically shunned by beginner magician as its power and magical properties are not on par with other beginner magic such fireball, ice bolt, lightning orb and etc. but to Roki it was a helpful magic and as it reach into the intermediate level the power and effect increased in magnitude compared to its lower level. Soul beat power was not enough to kill monster at lower level but its effect were knocking back the enemy hindering them from approaching except for that the only advantage of this spell is its low cooldown period. At beginner level 1 the cool down is the lowest among the others with 8 seconds and after reaching intermediate the cool down was now 3 second along with increased in distance strike and burst power. Making it a more incredible spell. Previously before the changes in behavior and frantic attack pattern of the thousand hand Buddha statue, its movements were more predictable and more slower. Being the man he is, engrossed with the fight against the giant statue, he didn¡¯t notice the sudden change in the moon precisely it turning into a full moon while emitting a more intense moonlight that grace itself to the statue. This was in fact happen during the night of the Bulan festival, the night when the celebration of Bulan. Its not proven but the intensify light caused a major power up to the statue along with changes of attack pattern. But to Roki this occurrence increased his concentration and his mood leaving a wide smile on his face. other users would cower in front of this immense threat but Roki was excited and his virtual heart beat elevated by the second making him feel more alive. Roki further watch the movement of the statue further adapting himself to the situation, further adapting to its pattern of attack changing of how he view this monster. as time passed by his body was accustomed to the current movement of the statue, parrying the attack while using sword strike, taking a brief window of chance delivering multiple sword strike but still it doesn¡¯t budge the giant statue. He also honed his other skills such as stealth and increased concentration. Using the stealth at the last moment before the attack hits him, cause the statue to misdirect the attack. While improve concentration is constantly being cast as soon as its effect wore down. His heal skill on the other hand is continuously cast using the auto cast. You may all wonder how a level 1 newbie could cast this spell continuously but it was in fact because the magic circle he was connected to supplying him with an unlimited amount of mana. Making him able to cast spell and skills continuously without any reserve. Previously under the guidance of Miss Zhang he also more or less train under the same influence. This exchange between Roki and the thousand hand Buddha continue on¡­.. While on the other hand, a certain young maiden elf has fainted due to over consuming of food and also alcohol. The night of the festival was the first time she ever being drunk and her attitude turns much to the extreme side. Bouts of food fight and drinking between her and other users and also NPC lead to her current state right now. Last night was the night where Rinoa behavior turn like those of one who has drunk their entire life. Aggressive, friendly, loud voice and terrible rash decision yup that what she was when she was drunk, a thing that she should not try to remember as it would leave a bit of embarrassment to her untainted clean slate. Well the rash decision were most likely when she indiscriminately headlock all the perverted men who try to sneak a grope. More than making them stay away from her it was the opposite as their faces when being headlock were expressing utter joy. Damn those perverted men. Waking up from her drunken state, she was laying on top of the bar counter. With her eyes open, the things around her was in a chaotic state. Broken chair broken table with many drunk people laying around the floor, on the table and some are in half naked state. Who knows what kind of thing that happen the night of the festival. Luckily for Rinoa, she hardly remembers a thing as the hangover was quite putting a toll to her mind. below her mana bar was a status infliction, in the image of a bottle with bubbles on top of it hinting she was in a drunk state. ¡®ouh my aching head, what happened last night ugh¡¯ ¡®that¡¯s something you shouldn¡¯t ponder about, get up Rinoa, you have a quest to be done¡¯ A cold aura came from the one and only being that emit this terrifying and unapproachable atmosphere. The owner of the current chaotic wreck restaurant, Miss Zhang ¡®ughhh yes Miss Zhang¡¯ She was then dragged by Miss Zhang to the kitchen of the restaurant. There it was different from the wreckage from outside, people wearing white clothing resembling those of chef were running around busy with their own works. Some are prepping for ingredients, some are washing dishes and some are cooking with blazing fire over their stove. Truly the embodiment of chinese cooking, the bright large red flame. There stood Miss Zhang, silently watching the battlefield of cooking. It was far from noon but the intensity was no doubt as if the restaurant was full with customer. ¡®Now your next task is none other than joining the rank of cooks over here and this time you will only pass if you reach cooking beginner level 5, understood?¡¯ ¡®yes but¡­¡¯ ¡®ouh yes try to finish this feat as before the end of this week¡¯ ¡®but Miss Zhang I don¡¯t have the cooking skill¡¯ ¡®then learn it¡¯ ¡®how?¡¯ ¡®ask the chef then why are you asking me¡¯ ¡®fine¡¯ ¡®what did you say ?¡¯ ¡®yes Miss Zhang!¡¯ ¡®good¡¯ ¡°cheh, just you wait you cold blooded demon after I finish this quest I wont come back to this forsaken restaurant again, hmph, but wait if she said to finish this by the end this week that mean this is the last task then, yes!!, my time to venture out Gaia will soon come, just you wait¡± She ends here monolog speech by raising her fist into the air signifying her determination to succeed, but such it was a cool pose the drunken status acting up on her leading her to sprawl on the floor and puking. So much for enjoying her first time drinking alcohol beverage. A few trip to the bathroom puking her brains out, her drunken status was then disappeared. Putting on a set of chef attire, she then proceed to introduce herself to the head of chef of the restaurant; ¡®hello head chef Im Rinoa and I will be in your care for the next week¡¯ ¡®haha another challenger eh, its been a while since one of you reach this far¡¯ ¡®ah yes, I have done my best¡¯ ¡®don¡¯t be too tense, since you come this far, you should strive on haha¡¯ ¡®yes I will head chef-san¡¯ ¡®call me chef Liu-bei will be enough¡¯ ¡®yes chef Liu-Bei¡¯ ¡®huh~ too tense, that boss of mine really drive you guys being this stiff¡¯ ¡®no im not chef Liu-Bei, im always like this on my first time so eventually I will be less tense¡¯ ¡®as you say so then, anyway go prep some ingredients with Junior chef Ma¡¯ ¡®yes chef Liu-Bei!¡¯ She then met Junior chef Ma. Ma was sitting on a small stool silently peeling up various kind of vegetables. Different from the usual greens of the real world in Gaia the vegetables were in various colors and shapes. Some resembles the usual vegetables but with a little twist of variety in its shape and minor addition. Rinoa look at this Junior chef Ma and she notice how fast his peeling speed, she then greeted him; ¡®hello Junior Chef Ma, im your new helper Rinoa, plese guide me¡¯ ¡®oh ok¡¯ Silence enclosed both of them, the simple and short reply by the gloomy looking guy left her unable to respond. The vibe that this guy gave off was a bit similar to Roki but a much more severe than her childhood friend. The gloominess of this guy hasten to envelop the surrounding. Before suffocating against this gloominess, she then breaks the silence; ¡®so what I can do to help you junior chef ma?¡¯ ¡®here¡¯ A simple direction from his hand indicates to her to join him peeling the veggies. A small peeling knife was given to her, she then sat opposite of Junior Ma and start peeling along with him. At first she thought it would be easy but contrary to her belief, certain type of veggies have certain ways of peeling it. it was hard and frustrating at first but after observing how Junior Ma peel she then gets the hang of it. hours over hours she peels and peels. Once in a while she tries to begin a conversation with Junior chef Ma but certainly it was a short reply or its either yes or no. she gave up midway trying to speak with him and silently attuned herself with the silent atmosphere. The evening came and customer rush in to the restaurant for dinner. Prepping was done and the time has come. Relieve of her duty to prep, she was then task to assist the other chef along with junior chef Ma. The evening section begins and kitchen was burning with flame and oils along with their burning will. It a whole different scene compare to before, people are moving as fast as they can and chef are shouting at each other for instructions and guide. She was engulf by the burning situation but then brought back to reality by a nudge from the gloomy Ma. ¡®Come and help we shoudnt be dazing around¡¯ ¡®yes!¡¯ She then start assisting the chef, she makes a lot of blunders along the way but she further improve herself while making up for her mistake. She quickly adapt to her surrounding and further increase her familiarity with the other chefs. Time flew by and the restaurant close down. At the corner of the kitchen, rinoa was closing tight her eyes while leaning to the wall. ¡®huh im tired i guess its time for me to sleep then¡¯ Before returning to the real world, she first goes back to a room provided for her in the restaurant. Its one of those bunk beds in a small little room. laying on one of the bed she then went to sleep and log off. By laying on a bed the user can receive a special boost in status after logging in back. On the other hand, a man was going toe to toe with the thousand hand Buddha statue. As the large stone hand try to strike the small Roki. he counter it with his attack while using his sole sword skill, sword strike. Blue aura envelops the sword and seconds before it clash with the stone hand, the aura change color to white. After the clash, his body was flung into the air while his body was engulf by glowing aura indicating the auto-heal. As he was floating in mid-air a blue screen open up.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Sword Strike has reached Advanced Level 1! Due to fast increased in leveling a bonus of 2 times in skill experienced has been earned for the next 24 hours. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
He could only grin as his sword once again envelops by the new white aura; ¡®Come!¡¯ Chapter 5: Jade Dragon *living room* Sound of silence, at the background a faint sound of chopping can be heard. *kitchen* *chop¡­chop¡­chop* Sound of ingredients being chopped can be loudly heard. Okaa-san was diligently cutting up the vegetables with her fine cutting skill. Like one of those master chef that was usually shown on screen exhibiting their prowess in cutting skill. Stove and pots were separately on fire. By okaa-san was handling it with ease. Her movement was seamless with no excess movement she would put expert chef to shame with her skills. Finishing the final touch on her various dishes, she then stand in front of the stair case with her hands on her hip. Taking a deep breath she then shout; ¡®Guys wake up!!! Time for breakfast!!!¡¯ As it was coincidence, Kichiro was already woken up from his bed. With messy bed hair and tired looking face, he went downstairs after hearing her mother yelling for breakfast. He just finishes from being online in the game. The game has a function that allows the user to sleep in-game and correspond functional to the body sleeping pattern. Even in game with their body unmoved allow them their body to rest for about 50%. Since they are using their brain to play the game, 50% was the maximum for their body to gain an efficient rest. Sitting on the chair with his eyes barely opening, he slowly eats his mother¡¯s dish. On the table were simple foods in a Japanese home with a tint of western style. Tamagoyaki, fluffy white rice, miso soup, natto, nori, broiled fish and small sized sausage. Simple but the taste was like those made in a 5 star restaurant. Kichiro ate it comfortably if Layla took a bite she would have been screaming with happiness. Okaa-san seeing her son eating alone was a bit confused, the new addition to her family was not there and Layla was the one who was more enthusiastic on eating her cooking. She then question him; ¡®Kichiro, where is Layla-chan¡¯ ¡®ah, shes not here hmm must be still sleeping or something¡¯ ¡®hmm Kichirooo, go wake her up first it would be rude to left her out like this¡¯ ¡®okaa-san how about¡­¡¯ ¡®no excuse go first or I wont make your favorite tamago again¡¯ ¡®¡­¡­ yes okaa-san¡¯ He stubbornly went up the stairs, while still chewing the fluffy tamagoyaki. In front of her room door, he suddenly hesitates with his hand on the door knob. A sudden feeling of traumazation came into his mind, the incident that leave a few bumps on his head, it was heavenly sight but with the price of blood on the line. Sweat starts to come out from his forehead, with a pale face he took a deep breath and knock at the door. He had learn a lesson and wont make the same mistakes again. *knock knock knock* After three knock to the door, no one was answering leaving him clueless on what to do. If he doesn¡¯t wake her up, his precious tamago wouldn¡¯t be made again and that will leave him one more treasure that could not obtain in this world. He took the risk and opens the forbidden door. Opening the door, a white light was shining from the window with a woman in front of it. Wearing only a see through white shirt, the alluring body of the woman known as his childhood friend was exceptional like those scenes from romantic movies. One thing for sure she wasn¡¯t really wearing anything underneath that one layer clothing. It was like an angel that was sent from heaven. This was the first time he was mesmerizes by her childhood friend beauty and once again they were in an awkward moment. Their eyes met and a silent moment between them ensure. Layla¡¯s face start to become red and in the background like a sound of bells chimes in the air while dove fluttering away. In the end a loud smack resound through the neigbourhood. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// -Last day of confinement period- A diligent young girl cooking over the flame of the stove. It¡¯s been a week since she was allow to cook for the customer. At first many blunder was made resulting in horrendous quality dishes but in time her determination and also the aid by Chef Liu Bei earn her the skill cooking. No need skill book or NPC privilege are needed, only her willingness to learn made her achieve the skill of cooking. One can merely pay to learn the skill by 1 gold but for a newbie that amount was too expensive for them. Even though it was an indirect way of learning from Chef Liu Bei and other supporting chef, she was able to learn it straight to level 3. Only 2 more level until she pass the last task and then farewell cruel restaurant run by a cruel boss. Currently it was the last and she was at the end of beginner level 4 for cooking. Dishes pile up as she increased her workload hoping to increase the experience bar much faster. Over the last week she has bond with the kitchen staff and were treated by them as one of their own. Her bright and cheery attitude lit up the kitchen even more fiercer. Each and every one of the kitchen staff had thought their know-how to the newbie in cooking letting her understanding much further while also increasing her learning rate. Customers were coming in fast, more orders were being taken, and compare to usual today was a frightening day for a chef. Lines of customer were piling up outside of the store. It seems without she noticing it, Miss Zhang has put a 50% discount for all dishes letting the increased in total number of customers. A devilish smirk was carved on her face as she was planning this even from before, overseeing the influx of customer into her restaurant only one thought came to her mind; ¡°hoho endure little girl¡± Times flew by and the time was 11.50 p.m. a sole young elf maiden was busting her ass to finish the last task. 10 minutes left and she finish her last dish. Completing the plating of the final dish a blue window open up in front of her causing her to let out a smile, happy of being able to complete her task.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Your Cooking skill has level up to Beginner level 5 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

¡®finally¡¯ The end of her prisons day, the time for her to embark an adventure throughout the whole continent was within her reach and the time for her to reach the pinnacle her idol JoantheArc. Without waiting for a mere second she ran to get to the NPC that was responsible for her 2 weeks arduous quest, Miss Zhang. She then barge into the room of Miss Zhang. While brimming with confidence telling her; ¡®I have finished the task¡¯ The cold expression of Miss Zhang was engulfing the whole room. She stares fixatedly at the young elf in front of her. One part of her heart was telling that she was quite impressed of the accomplishment of this young maiden. It¡¯s been a while since someone has completed this task. She then said to Rinoa; ¡®congratulation, little girl¡¯ After congratulating Rinoa a sudden burst of light rise above her head. The light continuous start to glow for around 12 times and along with the light once again she was bombarded with blue notification window.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª You have level up! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡®WOW¡­ im level 12¡¯ In the blink of an eye, she has raised herself to level 12 just by completing the task. Miss Zhang then hand her a box. ¡®this is your reward, come take it¡¯ After opening up the box, she caught a glimpse of her reward a set of light armor and a dagger. She carefully read the description of all the things that she has gotten.

And lower body equipment she gave me 3 kinds of different sets, with different kind of enhancement I can change my looks whenever I want, this is so great all those tiring tasks were all worth it¡± ¡®Seems you like the gift and one more thing little elf¡¯ ¡®eh?¡¯ ¡®Since its been awhile someone completed this quest, come and take this one more present¡¯ ¡®¡­ok¡¯ Opening up another box, once again she saw two marvelous shining books. It a skill book, a book that can be used to easily learn skills, most of it are pretty expensive and early beginner always learned their skills by an instructor. Reading the title of the skill book one says ¡®Identify¡¯ and another was ¡®Slice of LiuBei¡¯ ¡°LiuBei? Isn¡¯t that the head chef of the restaurant and how come his name is on the skill book?¡± ¡®what are you staring little girl don¡¯t you want to learn it, it¡¯s a bonus reward you know¡¯ ¡®ah yes¡¯ Again light envelops around her body, hinting that she learn both of the two skills. He then open up the skill description.

Once again she was amazed by the skill she has gotten, she was grateful for identify but the skill slice of LiuBei was definitely the gem in her eyes. An offensive skill that was much powerful than the elementary sword strike. This would definitely boost her capabilities on hunting higher level monster thus helping her leveling up fast. She then looks at the cold looking Miss Zhang and said; ¡®Thank you very much Miss Zhang I wont forget this, its been a pleasure working with you¡¯ ¡®ooh I thought you didn¡¯t like me I guess I was wrong or is you are too grateful about the things I have given you¡¯ ¡°ugh cheh this cold woman, I was giving my gratitude and she though bad about me but it was true that I didn¡¯t like her but since with all this reward I don¡¯t think I should felt like that, ugh am I just being materialistic¡± Seeing how Rinoa was making a frowning face in front of Miss Zhang, she quickly know that what she has said was spot on and currently Rinoa was in a dilemma; ¡®you don¡¯t need to overthink you can go now, theres much for you to see out there¡¯ ¡®ahh yes, once again thank you so much Miss Zhang!!¡¯ She gave a deep bow to Miss Zhang and left to say goodbye to the other people who has supported her, saying goodbye to the waitress and the kitchen staff. They were tears and sorrow but at the same time they were joyful because of their young bright elf chef was going on an adventure. Hug by Chef LiuBei, she then heard the whisper from him; ¡®About the skill keep it secret will you, and about other skill that you can get try visiting other branch of our restaurant at other citites¡¯ ¡®My lips are seal and thank you for your guidance¡¯ Bidding her last farewell, she then came out of the restaurant with her new set of unique equipment. Brand new cuirass, boots, gauntlets, dagger and a short pants that she has chosen rather than the skirt or long pant, she then embark to find new adventures and quest. As she was walking down the road heading to the adventurers guild house. She was deep in thought, like she missing something important and that heavy her heart. Upon reaching the door step of the adventurer guild, she then remembers the thing that she has forgotten. ¡®ah, where is Roki¡¯ //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// -At the same time Rinoa received her notification window for Cooking Beginner Skill Level 5- A portal in a basement room lighten up and a body of a man start to emerge from the enlighten magic circle. As it was reveal the man body was full of scars, with his overall aura exuding an intimidating aura. His eyes were like a berserker full of madness, but as he heard a voice that was familiar to him his eyes return to normal ¡®boya, how does it go do you defeat the thousand arm Buddha statue?¡¯ Roki only reply with an ok sign. ¡®remarkable as expected, tell me boy do you earn the title?¡¯ ¡®title? Oh that you mean, Master of Skill?¡¯ ¡®it seems you truly obtain it, the non-existing title, Master of Skills!!¡¯ ¡®¡­..ok then, baa-san so that¡¯s that so I think I can get out of the city now it¡¯s been a week already¡¯ ¡®ah yes¡­¡­¡¯ ¡®then I guess that all then see you again baa-san, my friend gonna scold if I don¡¯t show up¡¯ A blank and perplexed face was shown on her face, she cannot believe this youth attitude. For someone to achieve this title and behaving like it was nothing was preposterous. It seems he doesn¡¯t really care of obtaining that title. ¡®boya!¡¯ He turn around toward obaa-san ¡®what baa-san?¡¯ ¡®don¡¯t you think it was amazing that you have gain this title?¡¯ ¡®hmm¡­..i guess not, baa-san can I go now?¡¯ ¡®¡­....yes¡¯ She has given up, it was hopeless to convinced a man that do not care about titles or achievement. Watching the back of this young man, she was amazed by the potential and strength that he hold. Then something came up on her mind. a mission that he can probably succeed. ¡®boya wait¡¯ Roki stop on his track, as obaa-san straddling toward Roki. He patiently waits for the old lady. He was patient with this obaa-san because it let him reminiscences of his own grandmother. Looking at Roki she then pass him an envelope. Receiving it, she then said to him; ¡®please be the one and help this people¡¯ Her eyes was like begging toward Roki to help the one that she was associated with. Roki could not deny an old woman plea moreover for someone who has given a lot of excitement in his life, it would be ungrateful if he do not help her. ¡®yes I will don¡¯t worry obaa-san im here right hehe¡¯ He spot a mischievous smile on his face, a smile that can be misunderstand by anyone but from the eyes of obaa-san the smile was the most sincerest out of anyone she has ever met. As she saw his back leaving her store she could only say within herself; ¡°Master of Skills, a title only bestowed to those who has master 5 skills in a 14 days period and for those who obtain it will be strong, undeniably strong. For once, thank mother Gaia that the title was gain by this innocent young man, I wish he could be our savior, the savior of our kind¡± Walking along the street of Eraborn a man with a raggedy newbie shirt close to being disintegrated into fine data particles. Underneath those ragged shirt was a man chiseled body. For one thing his virtual reality body was becoming more developed and denser. The hidden details of the game, growth! Their virtual body made growth possible. A change in their appearance are made by the things that they have done, like a body builder sculpting its body to perfection are possible to be done in this game. moreover, the changes in appearance are not affected by status point allocation so even though someone who has a high strength status doesn¡¯t mean he will have bulging muscle but the things the user do or the hardwork that they have made by their selves will show itself through the change in appearance. Marveled by the sculpted body of this young man passer byers are looking with deep astonishment looks. Some are saying ¡®he must be handsome and tough in real life¡¯ and some would say ¡®he must have spend a lot of time on the character creation window for all those details¡¯. Some are at awe and some are in disbelief. But after a while people start to ignore it with the conclusion of him spending too much time during character creation. Nonetheless they don¡¯t have any idea that body was made through sheer difficulties. Known only to Roki the difficulty of going against a boss level monster was indeed something that was worth making his body to what it is. Ignoring the staring eyes, he then walk to the Jade Dragon restaurant hoping to find Rinoa. Entering the premise suddenly the atmosphere turn cold and gloomy. The bright interior decoration turn dim and cold in mere seconds. A sudden notification window came up with danger level highlighted in red.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª DANGER!! DANGER!!DANGER!! YOU HAVE ENTER A DUNGEON DUNGEON MINIMUM LEVEL: 200+ ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Staring at the window blankly, he was frozen. He doesn¡¯t mind being in a dungeon but the things that make him unmoveable was the level limit. Only those users above level 200 can enter this dungeon and out of those all users right now there was none who reach even the 150. A hint of fear start to spread in his heart, well he was still a normal human teenage boy and even with his no care attitude he was still not stupid. For a mere level 1 to enter a level 200+ dungeon was walking on death door itself. He was trembling in fear ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. Well I wish he was that normal haha ¡®hahaha..200? thank god I was just getting bored¡¯ A miscalculation he wasn¡¯t trembling in fear and his heart was not contaminated by fear, he was trembling of excitement. His blood was boiling after reading the text, he was hungry for more action and for more adrenaline rush. Unsheathing his worn out iron sword, he prepared to face the incoming enemies. With his stance ready to anticipate any ambush, then he heard a female voice laughing like noble lady manner. ¡®hohoho, its been a while Roki and by the looks of it you have become strong¡¯ Miss Zhang his quest giver was standing in front of the ledge of the 2nd floor with her eyes looking curiously toward Roki, she lick her lip while watching him. She looks the same as usual except for the golden slit eye and two protruding horns on each side of her head. Roki spine shivers as he felt an uncanny ill intent toward him, though he was not afraid but something seem off. ¡®Miss Zhang?¡¯ ¡®yes Roki, are you afraid?¡¯ ¡®¡­¡­.hmm what exactly¡¯ ¡®hahaha your courage and bravely knows no bound, no wonder the night I have with you was the best I had in decades, and are you not bewildered by my changes in appearance?¡¯ ¡®lets just say I don¡¯t really mind a beautiful woman with horns¡¯ ¡®hoho cheeky, that was a first coming from you¡¯ ¡®well it was a night to remember, so whats in store for me Miss Zhang¡¯ ¡®like always hungry for battle, don¡¯t be surprised Roki and try not to die, you know you are not supplied with unlimited mana like before¡¯ ¡®I think you should worry more¡¯ Licking her lips ¡®don¡¯t come crying Roki and let¡¯s say this is the final test for you to pass this quest¡¯ With the tension becoming more intense, both at them stared at each other with killing intent clashing against one another, Miss Zhang was undeniably much stronger and Roki was barely holding on, but like always he faced her with a grin on his face. As the view change above the battlefield, mist suddenly envelops Miss Zhang and as it dissipates, a trail of sweat start to form on Roki¡¯s forehead while tightening his grip on his sword; ¡®haha, didn¡¯t expect that¡¯ Miss Zhang emerged from the mist standing tall like he was hovering on the air as the mist clear there it was, her lower body turns into a body of a reptile commonly associated with snakes but its scale and splendor was superior to the snake, it was a body of a chinese dragon! ¡®Try not to die Roki~¡¯ Chapter 6: Master Dragon, a mythical monster known to laid waste to those who they are not fond with. With a single breath a kingdom could collapse in mere seconds and humanity itself can come to extinction. In the world of Gaia, Dragon was at the pinnacle of monster strength and currently Roki was facing this entity itself. Resembling a chinese dragon, its different compared to the European dragon. Resembling a serpent with 2 pair of short limbs and horns that resembles antlers with their silky hair. their grace and elegance was definitely a bit higher than their European cousin. In front of him, was the glistening jade scales on her lower dragon body. The underbelly was silk white but still as durable and hard as its jade scales. Its spine fin was yellow in color and by its point was indeed sharp as well made sword. Her lower body length was indeed reach more than 4 meters. Besides that her upper limb has transformed into a dragon¡¯s claw. With claws like a hawk and paw like a tiger it clearly was similar to the ancient chinese dragon. With her dragon claw transformation up until the elbow that exude the might of a dragon. Underneath her chinese loose cloth a pearl was embedded at the middle of her chest. Her dragon horn was intimidating as well as her bright golden slit eye. With both of them not moving, they are both at a dead lock. Then he move, running toward Miss Zhang or more appropriately Dragoness Zhang. He ran as fast as he can and take a step on a table making it as foothold and leap into the air reaching the Dragoness on the 2nd floor in the blink of a moment. This proves his two weeks of experience led him to his current abilities. While in mid air at a level above the Dragoness he brandishes his sword from above preparing to give a vertical slash. As he drop down from the maximum jump height, a vertical slash was follow along intended to the unmoved Dragoness. ¡®na?ve¡¯ Clang!! With the sound as metal collide with metal, the sound erupts in the restaurant turn dungeon. But it wasn¡¯t a sword against a sword but rather a sword colliding with the Dragoness bare hand. ¡®see didn¡¯t I say you were na?ve¡¯ Holding the sword like it was paper not a skin was penetrated by the sword of Roki. he was astounded by the sheer defense of her dragon scale truly boasting of her kin prowess. After Roki make a mid-air over turn kick using the hold sword as a turning point. His kick land on the horns of the Dragoness but as predicted she was not injured and not moving a budge. Annoy by foot on her head, Miss Zhang launch another claw swipe intending to chase off the human foot on top of her. Roki spun in the air landing on the 2nd floor safely with his HP still fully intact. He was already breathing hard nonetheless his movement were quite hard to execute especially for someone who was level 1 with low stamina. But the training pay off along with experience and earning title, he also gain an usual amount of stamina due to the continuous strenuous bout that was non-stop. ¡®come on Roki is that it?¡¯ ¡®not quite¡¯ He rush into battle once more, slashing his way to victory. Maneuvering his sword with such expertise, both of them was indeed powerful, each time Roki slash to Dragoness, she quickly counter it with her steel sharp claws. Their clash of sword and claw went on until her face was expressing an annoy face. ¡®huh~ Roki is this the extent of your power, im so disappointed¡¯ She wasn¡¯t satisfied, it wasn¡¯t as she expected for someone who carries the title of Master of Skills. She expected him to be dominate her, to subdue her with his strength the strength of someone she acknowledge but in front of her was not what she dreamt off. she then sighed while saying; ¡®Roki, im sorry I don¡¯t think you are the one, so please die¡¯ Clasping both her arm against each other with the palms directed toward Roki, the pearl on her chest start to glow brightly. Mana started to accumulate at the center of her palms condensing into a ball of mana. Within second it turn into a size of a tennis ball. ¡®Dragon Art: Dragon Beam¡¯ A bright yellow beam gush out from her palm directed to Roki with the intent of killing. Along with killing she felt a bit sad of destroying something that she brought up. Then the beam strike down the level 1 Roki. not a speck of dust was left of Roki¡¯s body showing the scariness of the Dragoness demolition power. Turning her back against the spot where Roki died, she then step away with heavy heart. ¡®Miss Zhang sorry but I don¡¯t think im that na?ve¡¯ She heard the voice of the one she had kill just seconds ago, but the voice made her heart tremble. None could withstand her beam and live to tell the tale. Even if there was who could withstand it their voice should not be that carefree. His tone was giving hint to her that he was perfectly fine. Then she turn around to the source of the voice. But she could see nothing ¡®not there here¡¯ Again he voice out telling where he was, she hurriedly search the source of the voice and there it was a man standing tall on top of the ledge of the 2nd floor. Beside him were floating white orb that amount to 100. Once again he grin with his heart beating faster than normal leading him to an adrenaline rush. He then spoke the magic that he cast with the intended target the Dragoness in front of him. ¡®ouh yeah please don¡¯t die too fast Miss Zhang I would be surely dissapointed, Master Level Soul Beat~¡¯ Hundreds of soul orb flew swiftly converge into a single entity, the Dragoness flinch she doesn¡¯t expect him to be alive let alone casting a strong spell. She quickly cast a defensive spell to counter but it was too late, the speed of the orb was none like it usual beginner level 1 state, in a blink of an eye 100 orb rain down the beautiful Dragoness, she hastily defend with her hands raised up shielding her face. Burst sound kept increasing with each orb colliding with the jade scale of the Dragoness. Dust cloud begin to accumulate and form bigger with each burst sounds. ¡®huh!¡¯ She swept off the cloud of dust with a sweep of her dragon claw giving her a clear sight to her opponent but to her dismay Roki was already gone, once again she could not find him, even sensing him with her mana senses could not be accomplished as his like his existence was vanish from this world. her appearance was starting to get ugly, her cloth was damaged revealing a few erogenous skin but it did not matter to her right now as she was pretty angry being toy around by a mere level 1. Even when she was angry she was a bit happy that Roki lives. But currently she was preparing to exact revenge to someone who toy her. ¡®where are you Roki come and fight like a man!!¡¯ ¡®haha a man? Hmm you know for a level 1 going up against who knows what level are you don¡¯t think I will be dead just by a scratch?¡¯ ¡®but aren¡¯t you the one who possess the title Master of Skills?¡¯ ¡®again this title, I don¡¯t know why you people are so fixated on this title, even with that so called Master of Skills I still have only 150 HP¡¯ ¡®ugh¡¯ She had nothing to say she could not retort to that fact, in a logical sense for someone level 1 to fight against her was deem death itself. ¡®huh~ but since you are insisting I wouldn¡¯t mind playing on death door¡¯ He then revealed himself, located not far from the Dragoness only 5 meter away from her. it was like he was unshrouded by an invisible blanket. ¡®stealth? But such a low level skill to be unable to detect by my mana sense, this is¡­¡¯ ¡®im to lazy to explain just saying when reaching master level it has it perks, anyway here I come¡¯ Like a bullet he rush to Miss Zhang different from the run from before he was speeding up much more. His eye was much more fierce and like a predator searching for its prey. He pressed on and slash the Dragoness. The speed of the slash was fast, faster than her eyes could stay track on. She was baffled again by this young man prowess. The slash connected with her scales and once again metal sound clashing can be heard. But like usual she was unscathed, Miss Zhang smirk and said; ¡®as expected not even a master like you could hurt my high defensive scales¡¯ ¡®hmm look again¡¯ She bleeds! Drop of red blood was dripping to the floor not only she was injured she was also inflicted with status effect bleeding. ¡®but how could an iron sword make me bleed?¡¯ ¡®look carefully¡¯ she then intensely watch him from head to toe but she could not find anything until her eyes saw the iron sword. A tint of transparent aura was enveloping the sword, the aura was thin and moving in waves like it was alive. ¡®is that?¡¯ ¡®yup, sword strike can we end this right now I didn¡¯t know you would be this boring¡¯ ¡®what did you say! I will not control my strength anymore, I will let you feel the wrath of a dragon!¡¯ Lunging out using her tail like body as a spring her speed exceedingly fast. Her eyes were like a dragon in rage. Her claw started to radiates in yellow hue and strike Roki who was standing in front of her. he quickly block it with an activated sword strike. The pressure was immense, even his body was lifted up just by the impact of one attack the strength of 200+ monster was no joke. He survived just because of his master sword strike acting as a defensive barrier as well as a mean to attack. Then another glow claw heading to his head, he readied his stance and blocks it again and this time he flew into the air with his body falling to the ground floor. Before he fall, Dragoness Zhang already sprung into the air with another glowing claw preparing to bring death to Roki. ¡®Die Roki!, Dragon Art: Jade Dragon Claw¡¯ ¡®not quite hehe¡¯ Within a fraction of a second, hundreds of orbs manifested itself in front of Roki. he cast the soul beat spell and rather than attacking he used it as a defensive spell. The orb burst as it made contact with Dragoness Zhang attack. burst string of orbs bursting in the air of the restaurant. Making a chain reaction. Landing down to the ground floor, Dragoness Zhang was in disarray. She was not hurt that much but still it pestered her from exacting her revenge. But before she could launch another attack, she was in awed from what she seen. the whole restaurant turn dungeon was filled with orbs as soon as she land and set her eyes on Roki. ¡®what¡­¡¯ ¡®sorry but I think I will end it here¡¯ ¡®Soul beat variation; a thousand souls, go!¡¯ Like fireworks bursting in the air, thousands of orbs rain down on the helpless dragoness. Burst after burst, Roki was standing there watching the scene unfolds. Burst of dust cloud surround the atmosphere, underneath those clouds, a bright mana was collecting at the center of it and as the dust cloud dissipates. There she was Dragoness Zhang huffing for air while casting her Dragon beam toward Roki. she was at her limits, the variation spell left almost 10% of health at best and she could not leave this as it is. ¡®your mana must have depleted with that last variation spell, you have no skill to defend yourself with even stealth cannot be used, you¡¯re going down Roki, Dragon Art; Dragon Beam Full Power!!¡¯ A burst of intense beam ran out and as it reach Roki, he casually said; ¡®I forgot to say I manage to regen 1 MP, and lets action do the talking¡¯ He slash the beam with his iron sword vertically and it split into half the beam was misdirected and it blows off two sides of the restaurant. Once again she was in disbelief, her full power beam was cut in half just like that, her tattered cloth was already gone leaving a spectacle that was magnificent. The dragon scale ran up to her side of the body leaving only the center with human skin and her breast expose clearly seeing her pink nipple at the back was also bare in human skin up to her well shaped behind. At the front where lies her treasure hole, was finely triangular shape jade scale covering it up. ¡®sorry miss¡­¡¯ While saying that she notice how the half human half dragon Miss Zhang was purely naked. Burst of bleed start coming out of his nostrils, the ero within him start to grow after his first experience and by seeing this body again he was starting to get hot. But like a manner gentleman it would be rude to take advantage of a dazed woman let alone a dragoness. Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. He came up to her and brings along the table sheet of the dining table and wraps the exposed Miss Zhang. She then released from her daze; seeing the warmth of the young man called Roki her heart skips a beat and warmth start to spread in her heart. She didn¡¯t know that she could felt this way to a man let alone someone younger than him. She then said blushingly; ¡®you are really the one our savior¡¯ ¡®hmm don¡¯t know about that but its fine, come lets go¡¯ After that she was brought to her room to put on her cloth, carried by the one who defeated her she was truly lovestruck. Her lower half immediately turn to her alluring legs making it easier for Roki to carry her. she still cannot understand why she felt this way toward this young man. But there was a myth that said if someone beat a dragon, the dragon with its whole heart will gave its heart and soul to the one who defeated them. But such myth are only myth none have ever met a dragon let alone defeat one except Roki of course. After properly wore her new cloth and wash herself she then met the one who defeated her. Roki was sitting on the chair comfortably facing Miss Zhang. Silence was again in the air and the expression of Miss Zhang turn to her usual cold self, the tint of blush of love-struck was gone hidden in heart not wanting to expose her weakness to this young man. ¡®you have pass the quest, here is your reward¡¯

¡®hoo a good sword¡¯ ¡®yes it is so please keep it well¡¯ ¡®since I completed the quest then I should say farewell¡¯ ¡®ah¡¯ Suddenly her cold calm demeanor starts to break again after hearing the word farewell her heart was not ready to let him go since she newly discovered this kind of feeling but she know she could not hinder the one chosen. All she could do was saw the backside of his body as he walks along to exit from his room. But she then with noticing it she hug him from behind with tears starts to form in her eyes, different from before she was not playing with him but rather she was fond of him. Same situation but different kind of feeling was involved. ¡®Miss Zhang?¡¯ Roki was starting to blush even he wasn¡¯t familiar with this kind of situation the time this happen it led him to pure ecstasy of sexual relation. But somehow he has a feeling this wasn¡¯t going that way. turning around she saw the blush innocent face of Miss Zhang. He wasn¡¯t surprised, deep down he know even a cold ice queen would have a warmth hearth. Miss Zhang then said; ¡®sorry for hindering you, you can go now¡¯ ¡®ah okay¡¯ As the hug was released, he walk to the exit but then he stop and glance at the Dragoness while smiling; ¡®don¡¯t worry I will come back hehe¡¯ His smiles melt away the worries of her aching heart, she then naturally leap into his arm and plant a kiss right to his lips. He was surprised but he follow along, after the end of a light kiss both of them stared at each other with eyes full of love well more to Miss Zhang. Roki was rather treating it non-chalantly but he reply appropriately to the one who was staring at him like that. She then said; ¡®promise you will come back¡¯ ¡®yes I will¡¯ They both part and Roki made his way to the adventurer guild hoping for him to find his childhood friend. Miss Zhang who saw her beloved disappear from her sight, her heart ache start to ache but she reassure herself that one day he will come back. ¡°I will wait for you until you become much stronger, Roki Master of Skills¡± But none knows currently Roki hasn¡¯t completed his quest, only a part of the quest was finish after defeating the Dragoness Zhang. Different from Rinoa quest he was handed a hidden quest, a quest that even he doesn¡¯t know, well if he was more enthusiastic about the game features he could have check the quest window for more information. But what I can say its who he is //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Walking down the street he was still wearing those ragged cloth and at his waist hang an old iron sword that has been his companion for the last 2 weeks. For one thing Roki knows how to use his virtual inventory and kept his newly unusable sword in the inventory. Reaching the adventurer¡¯s guild house, he then enters and like always its bustling with people. Users are in their own groups discussing their next adventurers while soloers were looking for quest to do to increase their adventure in this world. some are also searching for available party to get in to as some quest required a few people. Users of all races and sizes was in that guild house, merrily having lunch and also drinking to their own content. As he took a step one by one suddenly a few people start to stare at him. Some of them mock him for wearing such cloth saying what a loser for wearing ragged newbie cloth and some pity him for being not able to wore such good cloths. With no leads he went to the counter to ask about Rinoa. Going to the counter he then saw a familiar face, it was Miss Nara the one he met during his first day of playing. ¡®Miss Nara?¡¯ Miss Nara glance at Roki and was surprised to see appearance of unkempt man. Well most of those who went to her has at least moderate in physical appearance. But she kept her professionalism and treat Roki like his the same as other customers. ¡®yes dear guest what I can do for you¡¯ ¡®Miss Nara its me Roki, don¡¯t you know me I came here 2 weeks ago¡¯ ¡®Roki?? hmmm let¡¯s see¡­¡­¡­ wait are you the companion of the elf maiden, Rinoa-san¡¯ ¡®yes I am, so now you remember me¡¯ ¡®haha thanks to Rinoa-san I remember you¡¯ ¡®is that so, anyway do you where she is right now¡¯ ¡®well¡­.¡¯ BAM!!!! The door was open forcefully with a quite thump, then a voice resounded through the whole guild house. ¡®Nara-sannn, im back I have completed the quest¡¯ Running straight toward the counter she then brought the necessary quest item on to the table. ¡®heres what you requested¡¯ ¡®ah congratulation wait a moment so I can verify meanwhile¡­¡¯ Then Roki intervene; ¡®yaa Rinoa, its been a while¡¯ She turn her sight toward the unkempt short young man beside her. staring for a while at him, she then recognized him; ¡®ehhh Roki!!¡¯ Like it was impulse, she hurriedly hug him ignoring the ragged cloth. ¡®where have you been I¡¯ve been searching for you like forever¡¯ ¡®yeah right you already finish quest then you tell me you was searching for me¡¯ Miss Nara interject between them; ¡®uhmm to be more precise she has already finish 3 quest including this one, for your information she was quite an achievement completing C level quest with such haste in less than a day¡¯ ¡®C level quest? That doesn¡¯t sound very impressive¡¯ Rinoa quickly retort to Roki¡¯s statement; ¡®C-level quest is pretty hard you know for our range of level, even more so I finish the quest while soloing¡¯ ¡®woo slow down, yeah yeah I get it you are quite strong¡¯ ¡®im very strong, im currently level 13 at the moment I already level up since the last quest.¡¯ ¡®oooh pretty strong¡¯ ¡®yeah I am so how about you, did you finish the quest?¡¯ ¡®yeah I did¡¯ ¡®congratulation, but how come you are wearing this ragged newbie cloth didn¡¯t Miss Zhang gave new equipment?¡¯ ¡®hmm I only got a sword¡¯ ¡®well to bad for you, since what you are looking at are all the reward from the quest¡¯ ¡®oh I see pretty good and stylish¡¯ ¡®yeah I know right, worth all those tiring task, anyway you haven¡¯t told me your task was¡¯ ¡®well¡­.¡¯ ¡®nevermind that, since you pass that¡¯s all that matter, anyway what level are you?¡¯ ¡®1 I guess¡¯ ¡®eh what??¡¯ ¡®how come you are still level one didn¡¯t you pass the quest you should level like 10 more level¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t know, well what the heck who cares right so whats your plan¡¯ ¡®sheesh still doesn¡¯t care about a thing, for one thing we need to level you up first¡¯ ¡®yea sure¡¯ ¡®come lets go to the grass field¡¯ ¡®oh okay but hey cant we just complete the quest together isn¡¯t that much more easier¡¯ ¡®yeah well the game doesn¡¯t allow party with people more or less than five level than the user so since im currently level 13 I cannot party with a level 1¡¯ ¡®I see¡¯ ¡®enough talk and lets grind you, we need to make up for lost time¡¯ ¡®yeah yeah¡¯ Walking to the street heading straight for city gate, people are staring to the beautiful Rinoa. Its been awhile since he was with her and the constant stare was quite new for him since he wasn¡¯t with her for awhile. But before they arrived at the field they stop in front of a tailor shop, weird out by stoping here he then asked Rinoa; ¡®so what are we doing here?¡¯ ¡®didn¡¯t you look at yourselves, you cloth are all ragged and that¡¯s why you are being stared at¡¯ ¡°hmm I think they are staring at you rather than me, anyway its better to let her to think that way¡± ¡®so are you paying?¡¯ ¡®sheesh, yeah yeah im paying lets go¡¯ After awhile they then went out from the tailor¡¯s store, stepping out of the store Roki was wearing a brown tunic with brown leather pants and a pair of leather boots. He looks much more cleaner and more normal with his new equipment thou its just a level 1 clothing it was still much more tolerating to look rather than the tattered cloth. Then she brought him outside of the gate reaching the grass field. Roki was amazed new users are all hunting down the little creature that inhabited this plains with the sole goal of leveling themselves. Some are in parties and some are soloing but what caught his eye was the scene in front of him. Its been a while since he a natural scenery fill with greenish lust with mountains at the backdrop. ¡®what are you dazing around on come on we got work to do¡¯ ¡®where are you going? Aren¡¯t we fighting the little creature at this field?¡¯ ¡®take too much time lets go into the forest¡¯ ¡®ok¡¯ ¡®arent you gonna ask me or something¡¯ ¡®I already know whats your intention are, so what strong monster are we fighthing?¡¯ ¡®hehe you know me best don¡¯t freak out and don¡¯t worry I will protect you¡¯ ¡®yeah yeah so what is it?¡¯ ¡®hehe ALPHA WOLF¡¯ Chapter 7: Alpha Wolf ¡®haa!!¡¯ A dagger fall upon the unfortunate body of a lone wolf deteriorating its health bar less than 3%. ¡®now Roki finish it off!¡¯ ¡®yeah yeah don¡¯t shout I can perfectly hear you¡¯ Roki follow through with a clean horizontal slash killing the unfortunate wolf. Its body drop dead leaving behind some loot suitable for its level. ¡®huff huff so? Did you level up?¡¯ ¡®hmm no¡¯ ¡®goddamn it, its been 3 hours since we start grinding wolf and you are still level 3? Is it a game bug¡¯ ¡®hey hey calm down, I didn¡¯t do anything I follow your command just as you said¡¯ ¡®hmph! Anyway even since we start grinding not a sight of an Alpha wolf huhhh~~¡¯ Its been 3 hours since the duo slay all the wolf that they can find in hope of increasing Roki level in a short amount of time but to her dismay he only level up twice. It was a weird phenomenon; naturally for a level 1 user can level up double or triple in a short amount of time if they slay those of higher level than them but for Roki it was like slow as hell. Not that he mind of course. Rinoa was infuriated by this incident making her not able to progress further as leveling her childhood friend a priority. Her goal was for them to beat the boss level monster of this forest for them to elevate themselves much further but her partner level was an obstacle. You may wonder why he didn¡¯t used his skill, it would be a lot easier for him don¡¯t you think but for our protagonist here, he thought it wasn¡¯t necessary to used it in front of Rinoa since she was so adamant about tanking for him. While standing around thinking how to solve this problem, she unconsciously starts to bite her nails. It was a bad habit of her if she was stuck on a problem. Since they have known each other for so long he notice that his friend was in trouble he non-chalantly pat her shoulder while saying; ¡®hey don¡¯t worry, I can take care of myself so how about we find that precious Alpha wolf of yours¡¯ Turning around it was the first time he had comfort Rinoa, she was getting tears in her eyes but she endure from letting it flow down. It was rare to see Roki treat her like this since in the real world there was nothing that he could do for her Rinoa as she was able to solve anything that block her path. Rather than being weird about his behavior she gladly accept it from him and reply with a smiling nod. ¡®ehm¡¯ While she start to question him about his sudden caring attitude, his eye then started to sharpen as he notice something in the surrounding. The current time was at night and the full moon was shining above them gracing it benevolent light to clear away the darkness . Due to his constant bout against monsters during his two week he was able to innately detect something that released killing intent. He then aware his talkative friend; ¡®Rinoa I think we found the thing you were looking for¡¯ ¡®and since when¡­.eh? what do you mean?¡¯ ¡®look there up on the rocky hill¡¯ She change her sight to the rocky hill pointed by Roki and up there her eyes brighten, an entity that she was looking for, majestically on its four paws looking down on the duo who has caught on his sight. Thick silverfish white fur enveloping its whole body, with its body that was thrice the size of a normal wolf and upon closer look on his left eye was vertical scar that ran down its fiery red eyes. It was the fable Alpha wolf that was the boss of this forest. Its aura exudes those of a king of its species corresponding to its name the Alpha! With the full moon on the backdrop, it then let out a menacing howl. Its howl was loud even at a far distance they can still feel the strength of his howl. As the howl spread in the atmosphere, sounds of wolves can be heard in the near distance approaching them in a terrifying speed and without them knowing it they are already been surrounded. ¡®Rinoa..¡¯ ¡®yeah I know we¡¯re surrounded¡¯ In the middle of a plain a duo were surrounded by a packs of wolves with their leader staring them down. ¡®so how many?¡¯ ¡®on my side around 8 to 10 how about you Roki¡¯ ¡®more or less the same, hmm can you handle them?¡¯ ¡®since their level are around 9 to 10 I think I can handle at most 9 wolves¡¯ ¡®so this side mine then haha¡¯ ¡®why are you laughing we are in a situation right now and by the way you are still level 3¡¯ ¡®haha let the fun begin then¡¯ Rinoa was showing a weird expression, she hasn¡¯t seen him be this enthusiastic since¡­¡­¡­¡­ever. So she was a bit clueless on how to respond to Roki. But right now there were other concerning matter beside his weird behavior it was the predator on top the rocky hill. ¡®make sure to stay close to me and never leave my back¡¯ Roki was only smiling ready to face the danger in front of him. For one thing he knows with one sword strike he could kill them with such ease but he wouldn¡¯t it would have kill off all the fun. Rather than a fast clean sweep he enjoys clashing with his opponent increasing his heartbeat. Then it happens, another howl from the Alpha wolf initiate the attack of its pack. The surrounding wolves completely close in to the duo at the center. Simultaneously, the wolves came in leaping to gnaw the surrounded duo. With ten wolves ready to bite off the succulent meat of an elf maiden it was then hamper by the sudden swift movement of one dagger. ¡®Slice of LiuBei¡¯ One wolf down to the ground, dead with no life whatsoever, with her prize skill slice of LiuBei it immediately cut one wolf down leaving nine left for her to kill. The other nine managed to get a bite to Rinoa but due to her high quality armor her HP only managed to go down a little bit. with all of them still in close range, she then swing her dagger. Swiftly brandishing her dagger, one by one the wolves drop to the ground. With her unique made dagger and also her high defense armor, she exterminate her side of the pack with eased. With high agility and high attack speeds her flurry of attack left the wolves unable to fend for themselves. Even with all that her health still drops 30%, she then drink a health potion to restore her health back to full while looking for her level 3 friend in hoping that he survived the onslaught. But then her eyes widened, even the half drink health potion was drop to the ground. The scene in front of her was surreal. In front of her, Roki dodge the wolves simultaneous attack and at the same time deliver his attack to the wolves. But what was happening was truly mesmerizing, Roki dodge all the wolves attack almost perfectly even dodging it from behind a blind spot for a normal human. Each time he evade, a sword slash the body of a wolf. With his old iron sword, a hit from it was barely damaging to the wolf but still cause damage. Not a lot but at least the health bar drop a bit. Compare to using Sword Strike it was like heaven and earth but it did not matter to him as the most important thing was the adrenaline rush, the rush of having his heart feeling alive. What makes Rinoa astonish was the face Roki making during his fight. He was smiling, not the usual smiling but the excited smiling face that she has long forgotten. For a while she looks at him with wide eyes frozen on the spot. Until after a few moment she then came back to reality, seeing how Roki was still surrounded by all the wolves even with dodging all the attacks, Rinoa step in and charge on with her dagger. Two were already dead due to Roki constant normal attack and after Rinoa enter the fray the number of the wolves quickly dwindles. There it was Roki and Rinoa stood side by side with their back toward each other. At the front were their opponent with 3 more wolves left. Before they could continue to kill off the leftover a deafening howl came again. As if they have forgotten that an Alpha wolf was still targeting them. Seeing how his brethren being cut down his patience run down. With his four legs he then ran toward the duo with lightning speed. Upon reaching his brethren, he face the duo and snarl at them. With him up close Rinoa unconsciously step back and Roki on the other hand start to hum his favorite song of him during this dire situation. By the way its ¡®Hooked on a Feeling¡¯ hehe. The alpha close in on both of them with his mouth opening wide ready to snap their body into two. Still thinking Roki wasn¡¯t able to fend for himself, Rinoa push him away letting herself to endure the might of an Alpha¡¯s bite. ¡®argh!¡¯ She was bitten while still able to guard with her dagger still in between the mouth of the large wolf, her full health bar completely depleted in half. ¡°shit, he¡¯s strong¡± While still holding on to her life in between the razor sharp teeth of the Alpha, she holds on and endure with her health slowly depleting after having a half of it wipe away just like that. ¡°what should I do? I didn¡¯t go for a class change up yet and all I have is slice of LiuBei¡± She was stuck she didn¡¯t know what to do, beside death only one thing came up on her mind, Roki! She glance around the proximity hoping to find her one and only hope but there was none he was gone. The one she most trusted has left her, she was abandon. She could not believe it, out of all people Roki? Gritting her teeth, she endure the force of the bite. Her eyes were showing deep fiery determination, as someone who love playing games, this wasn¡¯t something that could hinder her goal of attaining power. Still mad at Roki, she slowly whisper to her ownself; ¡®when im back you¡¯re gonna get a beating Kichi¡¯ ¡®you call me?¡¯ ¡®eh?¡¯ A voice she was familiar with someone who she has thought of leaving her by herself. Her face quickly brighten with a smile. How na?ve a teenage girl was, just a moment ago she was angry and in the second she turns happy and that what puberty was; ¡®hey I thought you can handle him¡¯ ¡®come on and help me already!!!¡¯ ¡®coming right up¡¯ With the Alpha unable to released its bites against Rinoa, Roki furiously continue to strike his iron sword to the head of the Alpha hoping to deal some damage. But as expected even after multitude of slash, the Alpha doesn¡¯t budge at all. As Rinoa health trickling down, Roki thought of an idea pointing his sword to the head of the Alpha, he motion into a piercing movement aiming at its eye. as the tip of the sword approaches the bright red eye deeply watch the movement of Roki and seconds before it reaches his eye, it released Rinoa from the gap of death and back away with a leap from its four mighty paw. Rinoa was safe and after being released she immediately drank two to three health potion recovering her lost health points. After gulping down she hurriedly ask where he has been with an angry tone; ¡®where have you been I almost die there!¡¯ ¡®calm down we are still not safe yet¡¯ ¡®heh! Just so you know, tonight dinner im gonna take your share of tamagoyaki¡¯ ¡®yeah su¡­ wait what? No way!¡¯ Seeing how the both of them quarrelling between each other, the Alpha start to get irritated and lunge toward them once again and this time he unravel its hidden claw of its forepaw to the one who let his prey get away, and that was none other than Roki. Just a light few steps and that¡¯s all it takes for the Alpha to reach Roki and then he released his claw, blue light was infused with his claw. Unleashing a skill, Roki with ease dodge it while ducking under. He flawlessly avoid the claw but his fluttering shirt was touch by the trails of blue luminescence that came from its claw. Immediately, his plain brown tunic disintegrated into fine data particles leaving him shirtless hinting that his tunic durability drop to zero. Noticing his own half nude body, his face slowly changes to reveal a smile. A smile common to his virtual life. As he dodges, Roki take the opportunity and slash its underbelly with an upward slash. It minimally decreased Alpha health; even one percent was hard to mow down as the difference in level was apparent. At the same time Rinoa moves in activating her skill; ¡®Slice of LiuBei!¡¯ Her dagger connected, three combo strikes managed to land on his body. Depleting about 5% of the Alpha health it was a much bigger difference compared to Roki¡¯s. In front of Rinoa¡¯s eye was the Alpha and a status window detailing about the Alpha.

Description:
A leader among the wolves. Pride of being the Alpha its three time bigger than the normal wolf and at such much more stronger. With lightning speed as it weapon along with its sharp fangs and claws it not a monster to be trifle with. Regard as the boss monster in the Nightingale Forest. Legend says if one kill an Alpha it will be bestow with an undeniable reward.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. Rinoa frustrated she could not identify his weakness if her identity skill were a bit higher in level she could have unravel the additional data regarding the Alpha. With nothing else to rely on she pressed on delivering another combo of Slice of LiuBei. ¡®Haaa!!¡¯ Another 5% drop leaving it with only 90% in health. Angrily the Alpha lash out toward Rinoa changing his target, once again his bite narrowly missed Rinoa. Rinoa luckily avoid the bite while parrying it with her dagger. Though it was only coincidence, it still kept her alive. The Alpha then released a flurry of attacks consisting of bites and claw attack. she undoubtly endure the onslaught while at few interval drank her health potion. The high attack damage of the Alpha was too hard for someone to endure, even with good equipment Rinoa managed to kept a majority of her health from depleting too fast. If someone who has lower grade armour than her a single bite could bring death. Roki on the other hand managed to sneak a few attack but doesn¡¯t produce any result, seeing how Rinoa was in danger he felt that he should help her but if he released the skill Sword Strike with one blow the Alpha will be long gone. For one thing he is a person who doesn¡¯t like to show off let alone showing off in front of his childhood friend. Even the purpose of playing the game was to indulge the wishes of Rinoa. He then remembered something the eye attack; piercing through the eyes let the Alpha be more aware of its surrounding letting off the agro toward Rinoa. With pr¨¦cised movement he moves in and once again repeat the same motion that caused the Alpha to flee. Roki wait for the chance to pierce while readying himself in the stance he was most comfortable with for piercing. Then it happen, Rinoa once again stuck between its fangs and at that moment Roki moves in and initiate the movement to pierce through its eye. Dashing on from a distanced, he closed the gap and aim for the eye. The Alpha discovered the incoming tip of the sword and jump back like the first attempt but Roki anticipating his movement move along with him taking a step further and managed to pierce its eye. ¡®Arhhh!!!¡¯ A quarter of his sword was lodged into its left eye. 10% percent of its health drop immediately with blood still seeping out from its left eye. with its sight cut in half, its field of vision was reduced. His forepaw scratch around his eye attempting to removed while being motionless at the moment. Rinoa saw the chance and execute her skill, three combos flew and land on its body. another 5% percent drop. The Alpha take a step back and growl to Rinoa while lashing out his claw imbued with blue glow. She block it and the attack knock her back 5 meter away, reducing a quarter of her HP even when she was able to block it. the iron sword that was lodged in its eye was removed forcefully with a blue glow claw damaging even his ownself. ¡®shit this is hard¡¯ Complain the elf maiden, the shirtless young man hastily retort; ¡®don¡¯t complain didn¡¯t you said you¡¯re gonna defeat it¡¯ ¡®yeah yeah come on back me up it still have 75% left¡¯ ¡®alrighty let the weak level 3 back you up¡¯ ¡®hey! Its not my fault you are still level 3 heh!¡¯ While dashing again toward the Alpha both of their mouth were still too busy quarrelling with each other. Like a married couple bickering that what people would say if they saw them. Coming in closed, Roki ran further and took the right side of the Alpha. ¡®I distract it from the right side of its eye you blast it body on the blinded side¡¯ ¡®for one thing you have a good plan¡¯ While he ran without a weapon he dash straight to the wolf and took the chance to grab his sword that was laying on the ground. He then take hold of it and grip the iron sword he slash it down intending to attack the wolf upfront, while on the other hand Rinoa move through his blindside and prepare her dagger. Seeing only Roki, the Alpha retaliate by using its claw. Roki avoid the incoming claw attack one by one not wanting to be hit by the death bound attack. with him taking the Alpha attention, Rinoa on the blindside try to find the perfect chance to land her skill. then she saw her chance, as the Alpha try to bites and claw Roki, Rinoa perfected her skill and land the attack. *SWOOP!!* Another 5% percent drop, startled by the sudden attack the Alpha change its direction trying to find the caused of his injury, with swift movement he then spotted Rinoa but during the same time it change directions Roki move and try to ambush with another eye piercing attack. His step was silent and swift leaving the Alpha too late to able to detect him. As the edge of his sword inches away from penetrating its other eye, its reflex quickly managed to bite off the blade of the sword leaving the Alpha and Roki on a tug of war, a fight between strength. ¡®what are you doing Roki! Let go of the sword¡¯ ¡®haha let see¡¯ Staring between each other, the Alpha tug in hard making Roki¡¯s body flew into the air but he didn¡¯t let go. Rather going against it he follow through, the force of the Alpha threw him like he was paper. Roki endure and stay strong while still holding on to the hilt of the sword. The Alpha was getting irritated the feeble and weak human was able to hold on and he then violent shook as fast and as hard as he can. He holds on, for holding heavy forces the user need to have a large amount of stamina and for Roki it was perfect. The 2 weeks that he undergoes the task made him able to further enlarge his stamina bar leaving him with large amount of stamina for a lower level. ¡®Roki!!¡¯ She desperately was worried about Roki current situation. But seeing how he was enduring, Rinoa strengthen her heart and launch herself toward the duo. ¡®don¡¯t worry Roki I will end this¡¯ She attack and she attack, skill after skill her damage kept landing on the body of the wolf. The Alpha ignore the damage done to his body and ragingly try to kill the little human who was still holding on against his strength. This scene goes on until the Alpha health drop to 15%. The critical limit of the Alpha health. The scene wasn¡¯t always motionless the Alpha would run and move in lightning speed trying to shook Roki off. Even Rinoa has some problems following the agile Alpha. As his HP drop to 15% his body was cover with red patches hinting the blood from Rinoa attacks. The Alpha stop moving and face to face to Roki staring him in the eyes. Roki who only just moment ago flying through the air was catching his breath while still manages to stare this opponent. For him it was fun, if he lost his grip or maneuver through the air wrongly it would have spelled him the word death. The Alpha eyes were burning with angered, the opponent he sees right now was only Roki even with his little HP he was too prideful to let go the title of being an Alpha. Then something unexplainable happen, the Alpha howl into the moon, with surging red aura seeping out from his body covering every inches of his body. as the red glow engulf the wolf, the Alpha apperances become much fiercer and strong. Its his last skill, a skill that only activate when reaching the critical limit of his HP. While this was occurring someone or some group appear from the top of the rocky hill unnoticed by those who are in battle. Five silhouettes can be seen and one of them voice out in a girlish manner; ¡®nii-chan isn¡¯t that the Alpha we have been searching for,lets go and beat it¡¯ Then a gentle male voice reply to the girlish voice; ¡®no my dear sister, someone else is battling the Alpha wolf it would be rude if we interfere their battle¡¯ ¡®but nii-chan didn¡¯t you promised to make me a moonlight mantle, its in front of our eyes right now¡¯ ¡®wait for a moment, it seems their battle is approaching near to an end, we better wait¡¯ ¡®hmph!¡¯ The 5 man group watches closely as the battle between the Alpha wolf and the Double R duo, Roki and Rinoa fight it off. As the red aura cladded Alpha wolf ready itself, it then makes the first move, it lunges toward Roki and released his claw that currently glow in deep crimson red. He swipe the empty air in front of Roki, with Rinoa experience with a lot of games and Roki experience for the last two week for some monster being corner you should expect the unexpected, both of them know it was a skill. A red horizontal air slash form as the follow through of his swipes with speed rivaling or even faster than the Alpha itself. The air slash approaches Roki and he stood his ground. Rinoa yell at the side asking him to flee. But he stay there until the air slash came near him, he jump above it at the perfect timing avoiding any damage but then he saw it, another one coming in that was perfectly aim for the mid-air Roki. while at the back of it the Alpha was rushing to him. A splendid tactic, for some level 18 boss it posed quite a bit of a challenge. Or rather facing an enemy that was lower than his level in large gap rile the boss wolf much more than facing a group of more powerful users. Caught in mid-air Roki could not do anything, his HP was undesirably low while his defense must probably be zero since even the low defense tunic was torn into shreds. He could only watch his impending doom come while he smirk the rush that he was waiting was coming to him. On the side Rinoa was running as fast as she can trying to reach him but it was too far and too late. Even the 5 man group who watches the spectacle that was occurring could not help but said; ¡®a pity for that guy, I guess its our turn then nii-chan¡¯ ¡®yes I think so¡­.¡¯ ¡®nii-chan?¡¯ The male voice stop, a sudden stop that caused his group to wonder what happen he was shocked, shocked of seeing the things in front of him; Even Rinoa was shocked by the scene in front of her; Roki was gone, vanish in mid-air, the red air slash went through it like there was nothing there. Even the Alpha wolf was confused by the sudden disappearance, he looks around and try to sense him by using his smell and vision. But he could not detect him, the Alpha scowl showing how angered he was when his prey get away from his grasp. With no one left to vent the anger, he changed his target to lone elf maiden, Rinoa. The incoming red cladded white wolf rush toward her, Rinoa braced herself for the clash and prepared her dagger. She must make do with what she has to deplete the last 15% of its health. The 5 man team watch from above waiting for their chance to come waiting for the death of the elf. Only one man was skeptical about the whole situation, others were already talking about what great loot they would get but only him was thinking, ¡°where did that short man went to¡± Then both opposition clash, guarding with her lone dagger, the might of the Alpha was too much and he push it her until they collide with a tree. Her hand was trembling to endure the force of Alpha¡¯s bite. The Alpha was restless, his killing urge was at the maximum. With the fangs inches away from the nape of Rinoa, her death was approaching. But then a ray of light shine upon her as once again HIS voice resound. ¡®sorry I just found my sword, I lost it while evading the slash haha¡¯ It was Roki, his voice can be heard but not an inch of his body can be seen. Then the unexpected happen, a sword was lodged in the other eye socket that pierce a hole through its skull. It happen just in an instant, none could tell what had happen just now as the gouge Alpha was turning limp and fall to the ground. Everyone was surprised except the culprit of the incidence and that is Roki; ¡®ah I level up to level 4 haha¡¯ ¡®Roki but how¡­¡¯ Then the 5 man group suddenly appeared from the foot of the rocky hill, both of their eyes watch as the group approaches them. Then a lone man step forward from the group, he was human and based on the clothing he was wearing his job must probably be a magician. The danger was still there; both Roki and Rinoa stare at them with keen eyes. Player kill and loot stealing was a norm in online gaming but there was no news it was happening in this game but still the first could have happen to them. They sense trouble is coming. Then the lone man spoke; ¡®hello I am Ian level 20 magician, I know this is a bit sudden but can you please help us?¡¯ Chapter 8: Dungeon of Goblin *chirp chirp* A bright sunny morning with a cloudless sky, wearing sweatpants and a plain t-shirt a young man was jogging with earphones listening to his favorite mix of songs. It was a rare sight to see for Kichiro to be jogging early in the morning. Let alone doing exercise this sudden jogging even shocked Okaa-san, but she delightfully gave him a smile happy that he was doing something out of the norm. While jogging he then remember the things that happen previously in game. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// -Previously- Both Roki and Rinoa were still keen on their eyes toward the lone man. The lone man waits for their answer but none was said. Rinoa said to Roki; ¡®take the loot first Roki, you are the one who kill it¡¯ Furious by the duo reaction, the little girl lash out; ¡® hey you don¡¯t ignore my brother, and who let you take those loot!¡¯ ¡®calm down Lola, those are theirs to take, they are the one who kill it¡¯ ¡®but nii-chan we need¡­¡¯ Ian gesture Lola to stop using his hand, he then walk forward slowly; ¡®I know this seems weird to you but we really need your help¡¯ Rinoa put her guards up seeing the approaching Ian. ¡®please don¡¯t be alarm, im here only to negotiate¡¯ Finish collecting all the loot, Roki stand up and face Ian; ¡®for someone who is asking for help don¡¯t you think readying yourself for battle is consider quite rude¡¯ Rinoa flinch after hearing Roki¡¯s word, she then strengthen her guard. ¡®ahh them, I apologize on their behalf my group are a bit of the cautious type but do not worry we have no ill intent¡¯ Rinoa then spoke; ¡®Since you are asking can you tell us the detail about this help of yours?¡¯ ¡®I would love to tell you, but isn¡¯t it better to talk things through in a better place¡¯ ¡®you are suggesting?¡¯ ¡®Happy Tea Time bar in the city, we will see you there at 10 a.m. if its okay with you guys¡¯ Lola suddenly intervene with her annoying little sound, dressed in light leather cuirass a pair of dagger was held by the small young girl. Based on her height she was probably 10 or 15cm more shorter than Roki himself. ¡®but nii-chan we need to go¡­¡¯ ¡®shuush Lola¡¯ Roki seeing how the both of them interact spoke; ¡®it seems you are in a hurry since the brat is pestering you that much¡¯ ¡®brat?! Did you call me brat just now! Nii-chan lets just kill them and steal the Moon Tear¡¯ She was ready to bash Roki¡¯s head after being provoked like that but thankfully Ian was a step faster and withheld his small little sister from rampaging. He wouldn¡¯t want her sister name to be smear as the first player killer. ¡®look at him nii-chan for someone who calling me a brat even he looks like a brat!¡¯ ¡®haha sorry for my sister behavior she sometime has issue with her not so tall height¡¯ ¡®haha don¡¯t mind don¡¯t mind, I already went through that phase already, since she already blurt it out so what business do you have with this new gem of mine¡¯ Roki retort with confidence while throwing around the tear shape light yellow gem on his hand. ¡®Well¡­¡¯ ¡®Let me explain Captain Ian¡¯ A bluish shoulder hair length woman that looks like in her early twenties came in front. Spotting a square framed glass with her emerald green eyes, it was peculiar taste but fit with each other. What spotted her from the rest were the nekomimi features. A trait of the werecat a race that bear the hybrid of a human and feline. What she wore was the typical beginner priest equipment alongside a small size mace hanging on her waist. Though most priest like user has a bright and cheery face, the woman who call Ian as Captain has a stoic face that show no expression whatsoever. ¡®hello I am Tieriea, a priest in charge of the safety of this group, nice to meet you¡¯ ¡®ah yes, like wise¡¯ Different from her expressionless face her polite behavior was certainly didn¡¯t suit her. she then explain of the need of the gem in a monotonous tone; ¡®since three days ago we as a party have undertook a B-class subjugation quest for level 25. We as a party completely exterminate all the monster required and at the last floor of the dungeon after going up against the goblin leader we after depleted all resourced and energy have win. Thus completing our quest¡¯ ¡®okay so?¡¯ ¡®after the end of the quest, we then received a sudden continual quest after our own shorty over here found a key hole with an inscription that goes;¡¯ ¡®hey!! Tieriea what do you mean shortie and aren¡¯t you on my side¡¯ Again Ian, hold his sister back from her outburst grabbing a hold of her he step back while his face smiling face show don¡¯t mind and just continue. ¡®eh? Nii-chan stop!!¡¯ ¡®cheh pesky brat ouh yes where were I, ah yes the inscription goes -Once when then moon howl let the door to a whole new world be open enriching thou with vast amount of gold that no man could dream- This is the description engraved on the door that Lola found, and based on the information we have gathered the key that was descripted was none other than the Moon Tear a gem that can only be earn after defeating the eluding beginner boss, Alpha Wolf.¡¯ Rinoa and Roki were both surprised by the polite priest turning spiteful in mere seconds and changing back to normal, a bizarre personality indeed. But Roki still reply with a normal response forgetting about the sudden changes in her behavior; ¡®so since you guys have discovered this so call door of treasure are you expecting us to give you this freely?¡¯ ¡®it would be better if the gem lay on our hand rather than yours¡¯ A blunt respond from Tieriea, her words were direct and straight to the point not thinking of any negotiation at all. Ian without had to step up; ¡®haha im sorry of my companion misbehavior it isn¡¯t like you think off¡¯ Rinoa spoke her words dissatisfied by the demand by the one who are asking for help; ¡®you know Ian-san, your negotiation so far isn¡¯t that convincing, I don¡¯t think me and my friend would accept your offer¡¯ Rinoa spoke with a voice that emits confidence and attitude; her years of being a leader can be shown well off during this kind of engagement; Seeing how his childhood friend responds, he just smile and went along with it. The urge of him to play this game was still not enough for him to play it by himself only the fact to accompany his friend was the motivation for him to play except fighting stronger enemies. Like the battle against the big dog has let his sudden will to play ignite. Except for that none interest him until heard something interesting; ¡®wait how about we split the treasure 50-50?¡¯ Rinoa stop on her track, intrigue by the sudden proposition she suddenly turn her head facing Ian while her eyes were blinking like money loving people. It seems Roki childhood friend was a bit of money loving person I guess. Even with those blinking eye she still hold her ground with a confident voice; ¡®even still how could we know that you will uphold your words?¡¯ ¡®I guess I have you on the hook then¡­¡¯ ¡®¡­..¡¯ ¡®haha don¡¯t be too serious, we are in a game aren¡¯t we. Don¡¯t worry we will used the party system of loot allocation with priority 50% to the both of you¡¯ ¡®but nii-chan, the treasures is mine didn¡¯t I am the one who found it¡¯ ¡®Lola you know we have other important things to do¡¯ ¡®but¡­ don¡¯t worry once we have reach a higher level this wont be a problem¡¯ Hearing their conversation Rinoa cannot help to ask; ¡®since you are searching this gem for so long, why don¡¯t you find another Alpha Wolf?¡¯ ¡®hmm to ask of that question, it seems you didn¡¯t know the spawn rate for boss type monster¡¯ ¡®care to tell me Ian-san¡¯ ¡®it was only found recently, but the spawn rate for any type of boss is around the one month period after being defeated¡¯ ¡®I wonder why didn¡¯t you just wait for another one to spawn?¡¯ ¡®for one thing our goal is to reach level 60 or so in this mere one month period so to be halt in this process wouldn¡¯t interfere in our level¡¯ ¡®level 60 in one month that¡¯s preposterous isn¡¯t that a bit too fast for someone at level 20?¡¯ Retort Rinoa with her face clearly showing surprised and intrigued by the sudden notion of being able to level up fast. ¡®well for your information my nii-chan here is a genius and for someone who discover it to the likes of you wont know it hahahaha¡¯ The midget little girl, Lola laugh her hearts off, bragging her brother superiority to the duo. ¡®then I would forfeit my part of the treasure as long as I can participate with your party for leveling¡¯ Ian¡¯s group were surprised, forsaking all the treasure that she will gain, she trade it for the sake of having to level up alongside them. To them the notion doing that was also a bit crazy but nonetheless Rinoa has a goa, a goal to reach the top a goal to reach her idol JoantheArc. ¡®uhm you mean?¡¯ ¡®I will gladly gave you the gem in return I could be one of you, in other word to be one party with you¡¯ Once again everyone was silent, until Ian spoke up; ¡®hmm I wouldn¡¯t mind you know, but for the leveling you need to be always with us, is that okay with you?¡¯ ¡®yes sure you are with me right Roki?¡¯ She ask Roki with a bright smile on her face, she was more excited of hearing how to level up faster than the gaining of wealth. Roki could only smile agreeing to his friend¡¯s wish. ¡®ouh about that, I don¡¯t think we could accept the both of you¡¯ ¡®eh?? Why? What do you mean?¡¯ ¡®hmm how I should say this, well for this strategy of mine to work the maximum amount of user in party can only be maximum at 6 users only. So if we include the both of you I don¡¯t think we can execute it perfectly.¡¯ She was disheartened, left with only two choice she could only choose of either abandon her friend or abandon the way of leveling up. Face with a dilemma, her face frowned as usual, a face that doesn¡¯t know what to choose. Roki seeing how Rinoa was currently in a dilemma knowing she was really in need of this alliance between her and the party. ¡°huh this girl must be worrying about me again, better as well be the sacrifice then¡± ¡®Rinoa, I wouldn¡¯t mind its fine if you want to go with them¡¯ ¡®but you¡­¡¯ ¡®don¡¯t worry im gonna be fine, level up first then train me you got it hehe¡¯ ¡®Roki¡­..¡¯ Tear start to form at the corner of her eyes. But she felt guilty of doing this, since she¡¯s the one who drag him in the first place and then now it seems like she¡¯s abandoning him. Then she thought of something; ¡®Ian-san can I ask you for one more the thing in trade of the moon tears¡¯ ¡®sure¡¯ ¡®can I at least get one equipment to give to Roki since he also help in getting the moon tear¡¯ Before Ian can reply Lola already intervene with her smug face; ¡®haha no way¡­¡¯ ¡®yes sure you can, it¡¯s the least we can do but is it okay with you, Roki-san¡¯ ¡®i don¡¯t really mind, so I guess this is farewell then Rinoa¡¯ ¡®eh? What do you mean, you are also coming¡¯ ¡®Rinoa, what are you saying didn¡¯t Ian-san already said im not going¡¯ ¡®well Ian-san for the treasure Roki don¡¯t need to form a party so its fine if he tag along with us right¡¯ ¡®hmm yeah sure, but I need to remind you the goblin are quite fierce so be prepared¡¯ ¡®its fine Ian-san I can protect Roki from danger¡¯ With Rinoa determination to protect Roki, Lola disregards Roki for being weak; ¡®heh so much for a being that short plus being protected by a girl hehe¡¯ Roki ignore the little Lola provocation, it would be too tiring to handle that kind of person. After all the conversation, they all then proceed to dungeon where the door of treasure lies. Before they embark into the dungeon, a simple introductory were done between the party and the duo. In the party consist of 5 people which all have different types of class and race, they all come together produce the best synergy based on the strategy devised by Ian. The team consists of acquaintance of Ian, along with his younger sister. A well balanced party, a scout, a tanker, a striker, a ranged offence and a healer. Quite normal but in fact it is the essence of MMORPG. After a few minutes they then arrived in front of the dungeon. Clearly the dungeon reeks of goblin smell. Not like you guys know what they smell like, lets just say small green little hafling with a bad attitude and a serious case of bad hygiene. At the entrance of the cave, Ian cautions his teammate to be ready; ¡®guys be ready, arm yourselves and check for equipment and your inventory, for those who don¡¯t have enough health potion or mana potion speak up so we can share, though we have been here we should not let our guard down¡¯ Befitting of a leader, the party follow the command of the human magician even his tantrum prone sister follow his command obediently. Beside that their eyes were focusing, concentrating themselves before entering their eyes shows the determination of handling this situation like in a real life situation. Roki was amazed seeing how well this people take this game seriously. To him their seriousness must be higher than Rinoa herself. I guess similar goal and personality attract alike. Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. As the others prepared themselves, Roki watch the entrance of the dungeon. A description box opens up describing the information of the dungeon.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Green Goblin Dungeon A dungeon infested with the creature known as goblin. Inhabited by the goblin since the birth of the world, the dungeon was known to many adventurers as one of the beginner spot for dungeon exploring. Within the tunnels and narrow space of the dungeon, lay numerous types of goblin that range in level 15 to level 25. At the end of dungeon lays the master of the dungeon, the big variation of the goblin, the Goblin King!! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡°hoo interesting, Goblin King hmm¡± While he was dazing looking at the entrance of the dungeon, the thought of fighting the goblin king riled him up. Since the fight with the Alpha, he wasn¡¯t really satisfied as he need to release one of the skill that achieved master class, Stealth. Even so, this time it would be different. A one on one fight with a boss would be exhilarating. But to get that opportunity was indeed hard to come by. Along with an experience party to get an exclusive fight with the boss was certainly difficult to obtain. He painstakingly stop silent and think how to think of a plan. Then a voice disturb his brainstorming section; ¡®Roki, what are you doing, come on its time to go and can you wear some shirt or something¡¯ ¡®yeah yeah¡¯ Since he was half naked since the fight with the alpha wolf, he doesn¡¯t have any upper cloth to wear. Luckily for him, he gain something from the Alpha. Opening up the inventory he took out a cloth and boldly wore it over his bare body. it was a trench coat that cover him from top to bottom, at the middle bare his upper body. Seeing Roki dress with a new equipment, Rinoa curiosity rouse up, she quickly ask him; ¡®Roki that looks cool where do you get it¡¯ ¡®ah this its from the Alpha¡¯ ¡®ehhh any item for me?¡¯ ¡®hmm I don¡¯t think so, want some gold it drop like 2 gold¡¯ ¡®waaa that¡¯s a lot, give me after this okay¡¯ ¡®yeah sure¡¯ The snotty little brat then intervene shouting to the both of them; ¡®hey come on stop flirting and lets go don¡¯t waste my brother time¡¯ ¡®cheh that little girl, lets go Roki lets get this over with¡¯ Roki just nod while reading the description of his new coat;
Coat of the Alpha

Quality:Uncommon
a coat drop by the elusive Alpha Wolf that rule over the Nightingale Forest. Its collar was made by fur like the fur own by the Alpha. Its white, soft and glistening. Beside the fur, all of it was covered by black color material. At the back, an insignia of a head of the wolf was done in silverfish color. Underneath a full moon, the coat effect will be enhanced double the amount: -grant 100 health -grant 50 mana -grant 5 agility Special effect: can block one magic spell at a time, maximum level that it could block up to only E class magic. Effect cooldown take 30 minutes
Requirement:No level required
They then venture into the dungeon, while they walk through the tunnels of the dungeon. Ian forget to ask about something, their levels. Since they won against the fight with the Alpha, he deem them to be must be on the level or more. He then shrugs it off without knowing that their actual level was far below than he expected. In the game of Daitai No Sekai, levels cannot be seen by other users without the consent of the user. other exception were the used of the skill User identify a sub-skill of identify that can be learn to peek at the user statistics. The dungeon consists of numerous path and tunnels, different from the usual levels in other games dungeon, the dungeon in this game mimics the reality of the real world caves and tunnels. So rather than going up a level the user need to venture deeper into the dungeon to reach the final end. In the beginning most of their encounters were with normal goblin. Some are alone and some comes in a group. But with Ian¡¯s party excellent attack patterns and teamwork did the job well of exterminating them in mere seconds. Both Roki and Rinoa were left out since the fight finish earlier than they expected. Roki was getting bored while Rinoa was fascinated by this group sheer power and coordination. Even with 2 or more groups of goblins attack, they can easily counter them with their tactics lead by Ian the Magician. With the two melee classes, Kubo and Take took the front line brandishing their swords. Kubo wield a sword and a shield while Take wield a single blade sword that resemble a rapier. Both of them halt the advanced of incoming goblin attacks. Kubo mainly used the defensive skill and Take used the offense based. With their cooperation no goblin are able to go through their front line. At the side, Lola pull a hit and run attacking style. Supporting the duo in front, Lola utilizes her rogue skill to deplete the goblin health points from their blindside. She also protects the rear guard, whenever an accidental loose goblin came through. Her skill with the dagger was exceptional contrary to her small stature, her skill show more than what it seems. For tougher opponent or multiple enemies, Ian took charge. Using his wide area magic he contain the enemies. Depleting their health for the frontline to kill them off and like always for support the acting priest, Tieriea heal the front line before they reach the danger zone. Astounded by them, Rinoa could not help to be excited for when she enter their party. With smooth sailing, they then reach deeper into the last phase of the dungeon. With a lot more varieties in goblin species and tougher to handle goblin especially Goblin Mage. The group then encounter a large cavern area, with small campfires and primitive tents. They reach a goblin encampment, from a far they can see multiple goblins along with a shamanic look goblin at the center of the crowd. ¡®woo, isn¡¯t this a bit too many¡¯ ¡®hehe you newbs for your information we five could handle this quite easily¡¯ Proclaim the little midget while puffing her chest up. Tieriea interrupt her saying; ¡®for someone who is always on the verge of dying, you brag a lot¡¯ ¡®what did you say you obnoxious cat-lover, im gonna¡­¡¯ Ian intervene once again, not wanting to let the situation escalate; ¡®guys stop it, be ready we don¡¯t want to experience those kind of experience don¡¯t we¡¯ Tieriea and Lola stood silent agreeing to Ian comments. Both of them nod to the their leader; ¡®Take and Kubo be ready to tank at the front and Tieriea be sure to cover for them Lola kill any weak link on the spot I will manage the crowd¡¯ ¡®Yes!¡¯ Shouted the 4 members in agreement, confused on what to do Rinoa hesitated to ask Ian; ¡®hmm¡¯ ¡®and Roki and Rinoa be sure to protect yourself, its gonna be a tough fight but I think you guys could handle it¡¯ ¡®ah yes Ian¡¯ ¡®okay that¡¯s settle, guys formation! 2-1-2¡¯ Take and Kubo took the front Lola at the center, TIeriea and Ian at the back. several binds of light envelops the whole team, casted by the murmuring Tieriea, she cast a Bless spell to all of them to increased their attack and defense for 4%. Beside her, Ian was casting his spell with magic circle begin to form on the ground where he stands. Taking a full 30 seconds, he then released his spell, within the confined tunnel spark of electricity begin to form above a group of goblins. Paying no heed to those spark, the goblin roam around and then it descend; ¡®Lightning Spark!!¡¯ With one word from his mouth, the spark descends in static electricity. Lighting rain down on the goblins electrocuting them in a 7 diameter wide area. From above, their full health bar depleted in mere seconds decreasing around 30 to 40% of its health. Recovering from the electrifying attacks, the goblins then aware of their attackers. A lone goblin spoke out loud in its language alerting the others; ¡®ughi ughi ughi!!!¡¯ The entire goblin took arms and rush forward toward the party in a disorderly manner. Some are wielding rusty swords, some are brandishing half broken spear and some using a mini bow. ¡®guys! Get ready!¡¯ ¡®Power Guard!¡¯ Kubo initiate his support skill, increasing his overall defense. ¡®Valor!¡¯ Take follow along his mate, increasing his offense. As soon as the goblins reach them in a 3 meter radius, Kobu activate another spell; ¡®Warrior Roar!¡¯ A deafening sound came from the mouth of Kubo, the skill attract the incoming enemies to focus on Kobu while also increasing his defense for 110%. Goblins encircle Kobu, their numbers amount to 25 to even 40. Kobu health point quickly deteriorated in this frenzy situation even with his upgraded defense, he slash and guard and holds on as long as he could. With his health point reaching the red zone, white radiant light engulf his body, Tieriea heal Kubo as fast as she can, and supporting the tank with her restorative spells. Take released his skill as much as he can killing of the distracted goblins. ¡®Sworto Pierce!¡¯ With his rapier like blade, he pierces the goblins at its heart delivering critical blow after blow. Prior experience had taught him the goblin¡¯s weakness. With his keen eye and accuracy, his sword pierce was deadly. Lola utilizes her Rogue¡¯ skill to the maximum, whispering in a low voice she activates her skill; ¡®Critical Stab¡¯ Not once but twice as her dagger landed on the same spot as soon as she activate her skill moreover critical emerge corresponding to her skill bringing death to those who encounter her dagger. The game mechanics uses the verbal activation respond, for physical attack and magic, user need to recite their skill name for it to be activate while some have certain capabilities to lower their tone of voice for the activation skill and for this instance Lola, her rogue class allow her to minimalize her voice usage for skills. It might sounds to be rather irrelevant but less voice allow them to be sneakier and more tactics based for them to defeat their enemies in duel and even against monster. With her low whisper, her enemies were forced to be send to the netherworld. Ian on the other hand cast his wide area magic, though it takes times for him to cast the magic. The wide area magic itself help depleted a multiple numbers of goblins health allowing for the others to easily kill it off. Lightning Spark and Cold Shards, rotating between those two wide area magic, he crowd control the battlefield. But¡­ Goblins were still swarming over Kobu and even with the increased number of goblin corpses the swarms of goblins were still not decreasing. Kobu was still being swarmed, he calmly fought on. With his 5 minute time limit starting to reach its end limit, he shouted to the others for the incoming agro. ¡®Guys!! My Warrior¡¯s Roar is ending brace yourself¡¯ Ian shouted; ¡®guys!! 2 ¨C 2 and Kubo ready for another aggro¡¯ ¡®yes!¡¯ Take and Lola ran in front of the rear guard preparing to protect them. Then it ends¡­ The goblin target change to the others as soon as his skill ends. Goblins went toward the others. And then they clash¡­ Take cut them down and Lola stab them but they were still too much, Ian attack them with his measly oaken staff while releasing energy ball to the goblins. Tieriea was still focusing on healing Kubo, ignoring the incoming goblins. They managed to hold until at the 30 seconds, a loose goblin leap into the air with its intending target the focus werecat. Ian who saw the incoming goblin could not do anything with him being preoccupied himself; ¡°shit Tieriea¡± Until.. ¡®Slice of LiuBei¡¯ Three combos landed on the goblin and quickly it falls dead after experiencing the might of the skill. Ian heart calms down after seeing someone else protecting his party member. It was the new addition to his party well maybe not now but after this. ¡®hey need a hand hihi¡¯ Rinoa smiling standing beside Tieriea with her dagger slightly glowing in orange red. Then a new voice emerges out of the chaotic scene in battlefield; ¡®this seems exciting hehe¡¯ A young man with wolf insignia on his back grins. Chapter 9: Goblin King! A man and a woman standing side by side against a horde of goblin. Most would fear this kind of situation but to the man it was an eventful experience that will make his blood boils. With no weapon in his hand, he took out a weapon from the invisible inventory. A cold hard iron sword was held on his hand. A drop from some random monster that he kill, a glowing sword in his inventory was left untouched due to the level restriction. With a weapon on his hand, he spoke to his friend beside him; ¡®hey Rinoa, lets see who kill the most¡¯ ¡®haa? You do know we are in a situation right now¡¯ ¡®how about the prize would be a cr¨¨me brulee cake for dessert after dinner hehe¡¯ Rinoa eyes shines bright like a diamond after hearing the reward, and then duo move forward. Ian raise his hand trying to halt their offensive forward going against a horde of goblins. ¡®wait you two, its dangerous we need to stick together, shit *chanting his spell*¡¯ Kubo on the other hand try defend against the onslaught of goblins while still being supported by the glow of the healing spell of Tieriea. Rinoa moves toward Kubo, brandishing her dagger while she continuously activate her only attack skill. ¡®Slice of LiuBei!¡¯ Goblins falls, corpses piling up and the circle that surround Kubo start to thin in numbers. Kubo whose eyesight was block by the wall of greenish ugly creature has now able to see his teammates. He shouted; ¡®Ian, Warrior Roar is ready¡¯ Ian released his spell, lightning spark rain down on the goblins that surround Kubo, depleting its health some dead and some in critical condition. ¡®now Kubo!¡¯ ¡®Warrior Roar!!¡¯ And again the goblins surround him once more, but the other goblins were still went toward the 4 man group while at the other side, goblins start to surround Roki. ¡°damn it Roki, he¡¯s getting to be surrounded cant help it need to put my teammate as the priority¡± ¡®Lola go and help Rinoa, wipe out all the goblin that surround Kubo and Take try to guard as from the goblins attack¡¯ ¡®haiit¡¯ ¡®haiit¡¯ Lola ran up against the tide of goblins, dodging and evading the random attack from some goblins. Thou not perfect she was able to avoid some major attacks. Only a knick and a bruise that can be easily heal with a health potion. While Rinoa kill most of the goblins, a sneak attack from a goblin that specializes in stealth leap into the air ready to attack her from the blindside, she notice a bit too late but then a dagger was lodge into its neck piercing from one end to another killing it measly life. ¡®heh, so much for being that courageous need a hand?¡¯ ¡®hmph, come on we need to help Kubo¡¯ Then the female wielding dagger duo, move side by side killing off the critically health depleted goblins. Kubo at the center, swing his sword and shield knocking them back and at the same time slashing and hack them into pieces. As the circle start to thin out, another circle start to thicken and admist the goblins at the center a man wearing a black trench coat bearing the wolf insignia on his back wield his sword and slash them to the goblins surrounding him. He parry and slash its neck, he dodge and stab its heart he leap and crack its skull. It was like an action scene straight from the cinemas. Resembling the film 300, the action sequence was remarkably similar. It wasn¡¯t a skill that he learns or talent that he possessed but simply experience. His mere experience of two weeks combat had help him so far and that alone was his weapon against this goblins. Surrounded by green creatures and the continuous attack from them, Roki managed to stay alive while dodging all those pitiful attacks. This scene was not able to be seen by anyone except for Tieriea, as she continuously heal Kubo her eye caught seeing Roki being surrounded. Sweat trickles down at the side of her temple, it wasn¡¯t worried but astonishment at what she was seeing. The fight scene that she saw was amazing and it was ingrained deep in her mind. Ian on the other hand, used energy ball to ward off goblins while at the same time cast his wide area spells, he already abandon Roki as it was a lost cause. Take pierce his opponent with his rapier doing good used of his fencing skill. then the goblins surrounding Kubo was gone laid motionless on the ground. ¡®glad that¡¯s finish¡¯ ¡®yeah¡¯ The trio then walk toward the tired looking Ian. Rinoa spoke; ¡®that was a great fight¡¯ ¡®yeah huh huh huh¡¯ While they were talking with each other it seems they have forgotten about someone, but Tieriea eyes was still fix toward one direction. The direction of Roki. concentrating and not taking her eyes off, she was now seeing a man with a bloodied sword sitting on top a mound of goblins corpses. She was terrified, the numbers that he slaughter was closed to twice the number that surround Kubo. And within those scene that she saw Roki was like a smiling demon killing of innocent green colored ugly variation of smurf. She was having mix feeling, terrified and amazement. The way he dodged each and every attacks from the goblin were crude but still surge the feeling of a skillful warrior. Then their eyes met Tieriea shivers on her spine. Roki eyes were staring straight to her. then he walks slowly toward the group. The distance between them was quiet far and none notice about his lonely battle except for Tieriea. ¡®thank you Rinoa for your help, if it wasn¡¯t for you our formation would have crumble¡¯ Ian praise Rinoa exceptional fighting capabilities, in his mind he was well aware the addition of her into the party would be a huge boost in their rate of leveling. He was undeniably happy of her presence. At the same time he felt a bit sad about abandoning her friend the one wearing the wolf coat. He hesitantly told the sad news about her friend ¡®Rinoa about your friend¡­¡¯ ¡®ouh yeah now that you mention it where is Roki¡¯ She looks around to her surroundings trying to find her friend, she was a bit worried since he was only a level 5 beginner. But no matter where she looks she could not find him. Until the little runt spoke bad about her dear friend. ¡®heh, I guess that smug exhibionist is already dead haha serve him right¡¯ ¡®hey don¡¯t say that, Roki¡­¡¯ ¡®you called¡¯ Ian was surprised he could not fathom after hearing his voice, the one voice that he has abandon after seeing him engulf and surrounded by countless numbers of goblins. At the same time, Tieriea unknowingly step back away like she was afraid of him. Tieriea wasn¡¯t being her sarcastic self, no one notice it except the one who met her eyes, that was Roki. As Roki chat with Rinoa, he occasionally glance toward Teiriea that brought her a certain degree of fear in her heart. Ian on the other hand was still speechless on how he still live and wasn¡¯t injured at all. Does he make a mistake? Would he told her that he had been abandon by Ian. Before Roki would rat him out, he tries to intervene the dialog between those childhood friends. ¡®Rinoa, im¡­¡¯ Before Ian could finish Roki struck him down ¡®yaaa Rinoa im getting bored lets go find that goblin boss¡¯ ¡®hmm yeah yeah but you know you will be dead when you against him alone¡¯ ¡®at least it would be interesting hehe, right Ian-san¡¯ Directed toward Ian, he could unconsciously nod his head to Roki. While Lola on the other hand started to be irritated by the dilly dallying of her party. She shouted toward them ¡®hey!! Lets go we don¡¯t have all day, yaa nii-san don¡¯t bother by these people , treasure awaits us¡¯ Ian sigh for relieved, it seems Roki doesn¡¯t really mind after what he did and for the time being he was happy that his little sister was being her own usual self driving away the uncomfortable situation. The party then move forward to the last hurdle of this dungeon before they reach the treasures that they have been seeking. As they went forward to their destination, Roki once again glance toward Tieriea. With a hint of secrecy within his eyes, the glance was meant to Tieriea. Tieriea body halt from moving forward, her eyes were shaking she interpret the glance as a warning to kept his strength a secret from the others. But¡­ ¡°damn it those cat ears I really cant take my eyes of them and look at those fluffy purplish fur tail of her I wish I could touch it should I ask her hmm¡± Yup, Roki loves cat moreover with the addition of the werecat, to be a companion of someone who has those fluffy fur would make him the happiest guy alive. Well these story goes way back when in the past he has a munchkin cat which is called Neko it was the fluffiest cat he ever had and sad to be told an accident occur and Neko die a miserable death. Roki grief for one week straight after Neko death. Now if after coming in contact with any feline species he would be excited under those cold and no expression of his. The urge to pat those fur was undeniably strong. So strong that his gaze was mistaken for something else. So in fact he didn¡¯t really mind about Tieriea seeing him massacring all those green goblin. Now a misunderstanding has been build. One who love cats and one who fear the cold blooded killer. Lets see how this misunderstanding develop then hehe. ¡®hey Tieriea what are you standing around for come on lets move¡¯ Lola who notices the stiff Tieriea, alarm her through her words. waking her from the fear stricken emotion. ¡®yes, im coming¡¯ Lola shows a weird face, Tieriea isn¡¯t acting like she used to. The stern and uncouth mouth of hers cannot be heard since the time after the battle. Usually her rude remarks would be flying after each confrontation usually toward the frontliner and especially Lola. The only one she wouldn¡¯t hurl those remark was Ian and currently it looks like another individual was put onto the list. Not out of respect like Ian but fear. But Lola shrug it off with her thought thinking it must be one of her silent cursing days. While they leisurely walk through the dungeon heading tower the last phase of the dungeon. They all chat among each other while sharing with each other regarding their experience and mostly about gaming. All of them talk enthusiastically except for three people Roki, Ian and Tieriea. Roki was not very familiar with all the games that they all talk about well it was partly due his disinterest in games. Not like the gamers around him mostly Rinoa, shes the one who was chatting quite happily about her achievement in playing games. Tieriea and Ian were also avid gamer, but something were on their mind. Tiereia with fear to Roki and Ian feeling regret and uncomfortable with Roki. he sense a hidden secret within this Roki fella. ¡°why doesn¡¯t he rat me out, does he has any other motives or is he waiting for the right time to blurt it out to Rinoa, should I gave some kind of compensation perhaps or wouldn¡¯t that be more clear of me bribing him. Ughh damn it why did I have to leave him. I wont let him be the wall between me fast leveling along with the powerful childhood friend of his¡± Meanwhile Roki on the other hand his head was full of thought about; ¡°huh~~~ that was refreshing its been awhile since I was in that kind of situation, while I still didn¡¯t need to used my skill it was still a pleasure fighting those ugly green kids haha, lets see they said that the leader of those ugly creatures is up ahead please be more fun that before hehe¡± With each of their own thoughts running through their mind, they then reach the land of the boss dungeon. Up ahead in 100 meter distance a rustic and old throne was sit upon a grotesque green creature. In front of it were groups of different variation of goblins lining up defending their King. Yes it¡¯s the Green Goblin King! Lola spoke up after seeing the monstrosity; ¡®ahhh, its that fucking ugly King again nii-san could we kill it much faster its ugly face is freaking annoying¡¯ Ian demeanor change to his charismatic appearance again, forgetting about him and Roki he then concentrate to the enemy in front of him. A tough boss to be defeated but with he and his group level much stronger than before the battle ahead would be less difficult. Stolen story; please report. Currently he has a lot of confidence than before, once again he strategizes with his party. ¡®huddle up guys, this is the last hurdle before we get to the bountiful treasure. I know the previous battle with the goblin king was quite hard but with the current us I know we can sure tackle this without problem. With all those underling surrounding him we will go with Take and Tieriea duo concentrating on the Goblin King. The both of you are enough to handle him, I will provide support from the back once in a while. Kubo you and I will handle the others while Lola move around the battlefield kill all of those who are in the brink of death, and hit the blind spot of the goblin king if you had the chance, stay around the perimeter of the goblin king your critical would be beneficial to reduce its health. Rinoa could I ask for your assistance this time, although the numbers this time doesn¡¯t amount like the last battle it would proof to be much easier with your help¡¯ ¡®yea sure I would glad to be of help, hey Roki how about you add an extra slice of cr¨¨me brulee for another round the last time I did win didn¡¯t I hehe¡¯ Roki look at Rinoa while saying; ¡®hmm are you sure you win the last time hehe¡¯ ¡®ehhh what do you mean Roki of course I won I kill about 40 or so how about you¡¯ ¡®hmmm lets add up after this shall we¡¯ ¡®hey you are not telling¡¯ Ian while watching those two exchanging friendly banter, he was nervous on how Roki would move in this battle situation. He would like to gave an order to him but he was afraid it would strain the relationship between him and Roki. Before he could try talking to him a sudden message alert open out with a warning red sign;
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! You have enter the jurisdiction of the Green Goblin King. Ready your swords and magic against the boss of this dungeon. Steadfast and godspeed, great treasures awaits you for those who triumph against this adversity. Bonus reward if won within the time limit. Countdown starts now: 1:00:00 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡®eh whats this?¡¯ Rinoa ask after looking at the shocking red window in front of her, Ian reply to her question moving in front; ¡®it¡¯s the boss alert, didn¡¯t know it could sense us this far, come on guys lets kill it before the time ends¡¯ ¡®but nii-san the last time we kill it was around 2hours or so how can we kill it within one hour?¡¯ ¡®don¡¯t worry we could do it¡¯ ¡®initiate!!¡¯ The party dash forward to Ian¡¯s command, Rinoa was a step behind due to her not accustomed yet to their movement. On the other hand Roki, was still standing around just looking at the dashing of 6 people toward the prey he had his sight on. ¡®oh no guys at least leave some for me¡¯ While on the move, Tieriea quickly cast buff on her teammates it seems even with her in an uncomfortable situation she was still a professional that loves gaming. The other readies their potions and buffs themselves with their own self buff. Their swords dagger and staff start to glow indicating they all ready to unleashes their skills. Meters away before they and the groups of goblin clash, Kubo went to the front follow along by the main duo Take and Tieriea, and then Lola, Rinoa and lastly Ian. They move in a straight line with the intention to pierce through the ranks of goblin going straight to the Goblin King. Kubo then released his wide area skill after upon contact with the goblin. ¡®Shield Bash!¡¯ Upon impact he knock back the goblins at the front leaving quite a big hole. They then dash through while killing some of them, Kubo at the front extensively used his shield bash to mow down the goblins. Take and Tieriea participate less in this skirmish saving their energy for the boss fight. Rinoa and Lola on the other hand eliminated as much as possible so when they stand guard against the boss it would be a lesser burden. Ian at the back also repetitively cast his magic called repulsing wind. Another one of his wide area spells that only function as a knocking back spells that push away the opponent around him in a 7 meter radius. Blasting their way to the Goblin King they then reach him. Kubo, Ian and Rinoa change directions toward the numerous goblins while Tieriea and Take readied themselves against the Goblin King that sat on the throne looking smug and arrogant as the King within the cave. ¡®ho hik you people ho hik how dare you kill my kin ho hik¡¯ The king voice was ugly as he looks. A tad bit taller than a normal goblin by a feet. The goblin king is equip with a chip iron sword on his right hand while on the left was a dysmorphic gigantic arm that was the same size as his whole body. ¡®ho hik my goblins kill the intruder!!! Ho hik!!!¡¯ Then the goblins move in to attack. ian shout to his party; ¡®guys ready!! Take and Tieriea if you are in a pinch don¡¯t hesitate and ask our help¡¯ ¡®yes!¡¯ ¡®yes!¡¯ Rush of goblins move toward them though not as many as before their strength was a whole lot different. They brace for impact; Kubo step to the front line and released his skill to counter the surge. ¡®Shield bash!!¡¯ Ian released his spell blocking the surge; ¡®Repulsing wind!!¡¯ Rinoa without any wide area skill, make used of her one and only skill and jump into the fray of goblins. She kill one by one with her dagger glowing with the essence of her skill. she ran around the front line slash through her ways against counts of goblins. As she strikes them down she suddenly met a bump. A large goblin block her way, by size alone it definitely was the same as the Goblin King. Different from the King its body was full of fat looking an obese greenish person while only wearing ragged underpants. On its hand lie a large hammer that needs to be wields with both hands. It¡¯s a variation type goblin, sub-boss Goblin King Left hand commander!! On the other side, Take and Teiriea face against the hideous King. Brandishing his rapier while standing in a fencing stance. His rapier glows with a green hue. Then the goblin King raise from his throne, noticing the emanating killing intent coming from the calm and collected Take. The goblin King as move a step towards them, he then ran while dragging his large left arm. Though his movement speed was slow, the confrontation between Take and the Goblin King was still nerve wrecking. Usually he would take on the Goblin King along with the rest of the party but to cut down the time needed to kill the boss he has no other choice but to face it alone with Tieriea. With 10 meter or so until it reach Take, he pray to the god of his religion as a way to calm himself down then the distance narrow down to 5 meters. He falls silent as he finishes his prayer and launch toward the Goblin King. As fast as lightning his rapier pierce the right shoulder of the Goblin King. Knocking it back at the same time. he withdraw stand guard on his fencing stance once again. It¡¯s the ideal attack pattern of a fencer. The basic of lunge of a fencer was the core of its attack. With the injured shoulder the Goblin King was awared of the danger that this Take brings. Even if the attack only deplete its health by only a mere 2% it was still nevertheless a full on powerful attack. the Goblin King yell in anger; ¡®how dare you!!! Ho hik!!!¡¯ It ran again and lifting his huge arm, he delivered a wide swing of his arm intended to Take. Take avoids it but the fast arm swing manages to land a knick on his body depleting his health to 10% less. Truly a boss level attack even with their level narrow down at the same or so once it hit it was still able to be fatal. Tieriea quickly cast heal recovering Take health at the back line. ¡®thanks Tieriea¡¯ ¡®shut up and just focus on the Goblin King¡¯ ¡®hmm seems your harsh words came back¡¯ Tiereia while facing against the Goblin King her worries and fear about Roki disappear. Take once again lunge to the Goblin King; ¡®Alez¡¯ A swift thrusting attack at a closer distance from before, his rapier pierce another part of his body. the goblin King backs away and slash his nick iron sword to Take. Take step back and avoided the sword swings. But then he was caught off guard, an arm swing was heading his way while he was distracted by the sword slash. A full on arm swing landed on his side with another 20% lost. White light glow surround his body as his body slowly recovered. ¡®Take try not to always get hit my heal has a cooldown of 20 seconds or so and healing aurora has 30 seconds¡¯ ¡®hait hait¡¯ He stands up and lunge again, like a fencer in the original world his attack pattern was the hit and run kind of style. He continues to barrage the goblin king a continuous attack of thrusting. The goblin king doesn¡¯t sit around while being attack, he retaliate by swing his huge arm and slashing his sword franticly. It was a sad sight for a boss to be attacking like that, it almost look miserable but its sheer power of its left arm was undeniably strong along with multiple numbers of underling that two points made him the boss as it is. Its random attack able to throw Take off of his balance leading to him currently with only less of his health. Tiereia at the back was still yelling curses for not managing his health in an appropriate way. ¡®why you f%^&%^@ cut the crap dodge those shitty attack why you im gonna make your a$#@ bleed¡¯ ¡®haha there she goes again with remarks of her, might as well dodge then before it escalated more bad¡¯ ¡®alez¡¯ Once again he lunge to the goblin king avoiding the wide arm swing by just a hair breadth. It seems his concentration has reach its peak for an Olympian fencer, the real world really does reflect in the virtual world. it would be frightening if his status become stronger along with his fencing skill he would be undeniably strong. But right now against a level 24 boss monster, it was hard for the lone swordman to fight, as he pierce another part of the Goblin King body, the monster quickly retaliate and counter with a fast single arm hug. Using its huge left arm it was enough to gave tightening bear hug. Take scream for pain; ¡°damn it I put the pain setting a bit higher, shit my health is dropping¡± ¡®haha need help you newb Take!¡¯ ¡°oh god that annoying voice¡± ¡®Lola is here to rescue¡¯ ¡°please why did she has to be Ian¡¯s sister haish~¡± ¡®Critical stab!¡¯ The dagger deeply penetrated the back of the goblin king, since he was occupied of trying to kill Take, the appearance of Lola made his situation a little bit more difficult. Lola continue to stab at the blindspot of the goblin king hitting its weak spot. Its health bar start to drop quickly. Panicking the goblin king released Take and swing his huge arm to his back trying to get rid off Lola. Lola notice the incoming attack and dodge it. but the impact of the swing hit the ground letting out debris flying in the air hitting Lola¡¯s eyes. Her vision was block and at that moment another swing of the arm was targeting the defenseless Lola. Take notice the attack but it was a step a bit too late. His lunge reach wasn¡¯t fast enough. Then a skill was activated; ¡®Slice of LiuBei!!¡¯ A three combo attack landed on the swinging arm decreasing it momentum and putting it on a halt. Glancing to the back, the maiden elf said to the Little Lola; ¡®Need a help a n-e-w-b-i-e¡¯ Lola expression shows she was irritated. On the other hand a certain man sitting upon the corpse of the goblin variant that look similar to the Goblin King Left Hand Commander while wiping his sword from the blood. ¡®hmm I guess next would be that ugly creature at the rundown throne, sad this thing was fast to die¡¯ Once again he walk to the Goblin King, while saying; ¡®time for fun!¡¯ Chapter 10: Roki, ArcDemon At the same time Take and Tiereia fought the Goblin King. Roki was still standing around looking at the mere sight of them running straight to the throne. ¡®hmm why are they rushing?¡¯ ¡®is it related with this red window here, let see what the hype all about, hmm bonus reward eh sounds good¡¯ ¡®Should I join the bloodfest? hoho¡¯ ¡®but the things is fighting this green creatures getting a bit boring¡¯ But before he could retort to his own remark, the ground tremble a bit. Noticing it he look around, and there it was a large hideous creature. Yup in this dungeon everything green were all fucking ugly. Roki was on the verge of having migraine with all these realistic ugly creature around him. ¡®hokkkk!!!¡¯ The look alike green goblin yell roar at Roki who was standing in his way. it was comparable taller than the smaller goblin reaching at least 2 meter. Quite a large difference for the so call ¡®Goblin¡¯ species. Anyway this variant was bulking with muscle while holding on to a massive claymore that look ragged. Then another red message window open up in front of his face.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!! You have encounter the sub-boss Green Goblin King Right Hand Commander. Be aware this monster act on his own free will without regard to its kin. Have tremendous strength compare to his other kin the Left Hand Commander. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡®hmm seems strong, how about we dance a bit goblin?¡¯ ¡®hok!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¯ Seeming like he knows what Roki said, he yell at him infuriated by what he said. The bulking goblin ran toward Roki while retracting his fist ready to deliver it straight into his face. Roki could only grin seeing how enthusiastic this 2 meter goblin was. ¡®oh ho come then!¡¯ He provoked the bulky goblin even further while gesturing using his hand to come. The bulky goblin approach even faster while roaring quite loudly. Then a straight punch flew straight to the 170 cm size Roki. the difference between them was 30cm and that itself was enough for its long limb to reach Roki even faster. Roki saw the incoming attack, it was simple but exude the terrifying power that was hidden within those bulking muscles. He knows with only one attack his health would be depleted to nil quite fast. So he dodge it by also moving forward while leaning downward. As avoid the punch, his body drop down toward the ground and as he deems it as the right time he push forward using the momentum of the fall and his leg strength to accelerate himself. Using the acceleration he push himself forward and released his iron sword from its sheath while at the same time slashing the legs of the bulky goblin right at its popliteal fossa. Passing the bulky goblin after manage to send a hit to it. he turn around and look at its health bar. Only drop down to 2% only. ¡®hmm still weak huh, should I use sword strike? But then it would die to fast hmm¡¯ The bulky goblin change his direction and ran to Roki again, again the motion was the same a straight punch, easy and simple. He ready himself to avoid like previously, but then something change. The bulky goblin at the middle of the motion of attack twist his body while using the motion of the punch to be much faster than before. Twisting his body, he change the punch direction toward the ground seeing how Roki already leaning downward making him vulnerable to downward attack. ¡°hooo nice change up¡± Noticing it a tad faster, he accelerated more quickly from before though it has less speed the purpose was only to avoid the incoming attack. but it was coming fast, Roki knows he will at least get hit a bit then he used his sword to parry the incoming attack while twisting his body upwards. He managed to parry and he landed on the ground two meters away from the bulky goblin. ¡®haha you have suddenly pique my interest¡¯ ¡®lets brawl then¡¯ ¡®hok!!!¡¯ Readying himself in a weird sword stance that he watch from some Chinese fantasy kung fu story. His eye turn keen and focus. Then he move, running swiftly he then clash with the bulky goblin. He gave a horizontal slash, while the bulky goblin try to once again punch him. The slash meet the lateral side of his arm first causing him to miss his aim. The attack barely injured him but Roki press on. He was already accustomed to his weak attacks, one thing for sure what he did learn after going against multiple or more accurately hundreds of enemies, they way to cleanly dispatch their lives was to constantly hit its weak target. In that sense he managed to completely wiping out the groups of goblins from before. This time he was up against the power type goblin. After the first attack he then continuously slash and stab his sword through the flesh of the muscle mass goblin. Attack after attack, the both of them exchanges fist and sword. On the body of the bulky goblin, thin line of sword wounds was starting to manifest. One thing for sure he notice a peculiar habit of the bulky goblin. It always try to avoid a clean hit to his arm pit. That trigger Roki to notice its weak point. With that in mind, he press on even harder putting the pressure on to the hideous creature. The barrage of punches released from the bulky goblin was being dodge cleanly by the nimble Roki. the trajectory and speed of his punch was already been compared to his previous encounter which was a lot more stronger and faster. Irritated by non- hitting attack, the bulky goblin let his guard down exposing it weak point. Roki took the chance and slashes the arm pit as much as he can. Then it health bar started to drop quickly with each attack only amount to 2% or so. Numerous slash was need in that time frame. But Roki able to deplete it up to 60%. Then the bulky goblin punch toward the ground after his health reach the 60% limit. The punch shook the ground leaving Roki wobbling a bit. In that moment, the bulky goblin released its weapon. The claymore strap on its back was released. During the momentary confusion, a huge vertical slash came down on Roki. Roki thought ¡°shit this is intense cant jump might as well endure then¡± He brace himself and block the attack with his own sword. The pressure emitted by the claymore was enough to drop him to the knee. The claymore getting closer inches away from reaching Roki¡¯s face. then a notification came up;

¡®oohh didn¡¯t know I had this skill, wait the attack seems lighter¡¯ After the notification, the pressure against him was suddenly lift off. it seems his level 5 truly put him in the rough spot with all those penalty incur to him. No wonder his attack don¡¯t have a lot of damage. Then he retaliates, pushing the ground with his feet, he bounce of the claymore straight back into the face of the bulky goblin. The bulky goblin stagger a bit and confused after seeing how simple his attack was being fend off. At that moment Roki stare at the bulky goblin with the intention to kill. Even without the skill turning master level, sooner or later the bulky goblin would have drop dead. But unfortunate to the goblin as his fate has seal since the adventure that he met was Roki. Then he dash to the bulky goblin, his sword was lighter than usual and felt freedom at the same time, it was the sword like his extended body part. Eyeing the armpits of the goblin, he swiftly send two slash that occur almost simultaneously. It was clean cut, both arm drop to the ground as his sword was soak in blood. The bulky goblin yell out of intense pain. ¡®hoki!!!!!¡¯ ¡®hmm damn it even without using the sword strike skill, my attack are quite strong¡¯ ¡®hoki!!!!¡¯ The bulky goblin kept yelling as he lost both of his arm. Annoy by the intense sound of the wailing goblin. Roki quickly dispatch its head; ¡®huh~ yeah yeah I will be done with it¡¯ *swoop* A horizontal slash cut cleanly the head of the bulky goblin. The head rolled on the ground, annoy by how short the battle Roki could help but feeling disappointed. Sitting on top of the corpse bulky goblin. He wipe the blood of his sword while muttering; ¡®hmm I guess next would be that ugly creature at the rundown throne, sad this thing was fast to die¡¯ Standing up he then lightly jog toward the Green Goblin King while saying; ¡®time for fun!¡¯ ===================================================================================== Rinoa on the other hand was facing the other commander of the Green Goblin King. ¡®left commander ehh, sounds tough let¡¯s take it as a challenge then¡¯ She dash forward with her dagger start to glow. The left hand commander looks pudgy compare to the bulky one. He then swing his rusted hammer to the beautiful elf that was charging to him. The hammer fall to the ground in a vertical direction, missing its target. Rinoa dodge and deliver three attacks to his body. 1..2..3.. All of it were criticals, the triple criticals send the pudgy goblin down to the ground on its knee. Leaving him in a defenseless state, Rinoa notice the sudden change and she took her chances slashing him a few times until he was able to get up again supporting himself by using the hammer. Rinoa quickly back away and took distance from him. Once again the cooldown was finish and the dagger glows again. ¡®Round two!¡¯ She dash and lunge her dagger to the heart of the pudgy goblin. But things doesn¡¯t always go with what we want. Before her strike could reach him, normal goblins keep leaping in front of him. Making a shield for the pudgy goblin. Three goblin quickly died after being hit by Rinoa skill. ¡®cheh! This pesky goblins¡¯ Suddenly a hammer went through the goblins corpses while she was distracted by the goblins intervention. It was too close, she could not avoid it ¡®damn it¡¯ The hammer collide with the body of Rinoa. She was knockback 2 meters away, her health bar quickly dissipates until it reach the 80% mark. For one thing, the attack was purely out of strength. She has more or less another 4 carelessness before she¡¯s dead to the count. ¡®ugh you can do this Rinoa you can! You will be strong you will be strong like JoantheArc¡¯ After chanting words of encouragement to herself, she then dash again toward the ugly monste. They then clash against each other. The wide angle of the goblin mad swing was easy to be dodge and she attack. flurry of slashes along with the constant dodging left her and the opponent to a tattered state. Both she and the goblin were down with reds in their health bar. Even though Rinoa was able to dodge completely, the stamina of hers deplete quickly with the maneuver of dodging took great amount of stamina. At that moment, her concentration started to slip and the hammer was able to land a few leaving her in the current state. ¡®didn¡¯t know it would be this hard, sheesh need to get to them faster¡¯ Gulping two bottles of red potion immediately increased her health back to 50%. ¡®good now im ready¡¯ Then she face off again with the pudgy goblin, attack after attack the goblin health depleted until 10%. With that less left, the dagger glows and she deliver the last attack. the first attack cut off the wielding arm then the second one cut one of his leg and the last one she stab it straight to the heart. After a few brief moments, the health turns to zero. The goblin turns limp and turns to corpse. She dislodges the dagger and drinks another health potion. Blue notification window open up, indicating her level increasing. She then turn going up against the other goblins killing them while running toward the one protecting the line before they could disturb the main duo which were fighting the boss monster. Ian and Kubo were desperately fighting for their lives as goblins were pushing them. Kubo with his shield and sword hold down the goblins from approaching their King. Ian cast all of magical spell that he could think off. mostly utilizing the everlasting energy ball. A collection of energy that burst upon contact with an enemy. at certain interval he released his wide area spell obliterating the other goblins. Red and blue potion kept being gulp down at a fast rate within this battle. Showing how much mana and health are being used to halt the advance the goblins. Then Rinoa arrived at the scene, once again the only skill she have triumph against all odds. Goblins corpses start to pile up. Their number started to decreased. The pressure from was becoming less. Easing the situation of the trio. Ian then notice the timer, it was already past the 40 minutes line. If the team up they can surely prevail much easier. But there was still goblins running around that act as hindrance. The he saw the light that will act as the only chance for them to win this. ¡®Rinoa! Go help Take and Tieriea¡¯ ¡®but you guys¡¯ ¡®just go we can handle this¡¯ ¡®ugh ok¡¯ Rinoa then rush to the duo leaving Ian and Kubo to fend for themselves. Then she spotted Lola in a pinch. Take was desperately trying to help her but he wasn¡¯t able to reach her, then she only has one choice, she was the one that needed to help Lola. But the distance was to far, only by her elf¡¯s leg wasn¡¯t enough to reach Lola. Then a sudden burst of wind push her from the back. she realizes this and propel herself using the wind. A silent whisper brush to the side of her ear; ¡®may the wind guide you¡¯ A window notification opens up after the wind push her notifying her that make any user smile;

¡°wow I got a new skill, nevermind that need to hurry¡± ¡®saut de vent!!¡¯ Activating her new found skill, traces of light wind embrace her whole body and like a speeding bullet she arrived right in front of the near kill Lola. She activates her only offensive skill with the intention of halting the momentum of the arm; ¡®slice of LiuBei!¡¯ A small dagger encountered the humongous arm and then it collide. Rinoa was push back even with the combination of the speed of saut de vent and her slice of LiuBei. Then the arm swing halt, she was able to stop the terrifying power of the arm. Looking back at Lola she spoke the words that will surely caused heated conversation between them; ¡®Need a help a n-e-w-b-i-e¡¯ Lola was angry after hearing her spoke those word, it was true she needed her help but to be called newbie of all thing make her mad. ¡®why you!!¡¯ But before they could proceed with their bickering, the Goblin King once again leap into the air while readying his humongous arm to strike down the girls that currently below him. ¡®damn it dodge Lola¡¯ ¡®shut up I know already¡¯ *BOOM* The punch land directly to the ground shooting out debris all over, the small debris were able to hit the fleeing Rinoa and Lola who was able to avoid the devastating punch. Those little bit of shards manage to decreased their health by a bit. It seems the Goblin King action are becoming more wilder since his health started to drop below the 45%. Take then rush to the both of them to help them keeping the Goblin King at bay. ¡®Swroto pIerce¡¯ His number one skill pierce the goblin hide but it only decreased its health only up to 1%. It seems the defensive capabilities of the Goblin King has increased after being at the madden state. Even the knockback wasn¡¯t present even after it hits. ¡®shit its getting stronger backaway Rinoa, Lola¡¯ The trio back away from the menancing Goblin King. Thought it look pretty weak but the present of that damn arm of his surely add up the boss factor. Rinoa then spoke; ¡®guys we have 17 min or so left, Ian ask me to help you guys defeat it¡¯ ¡®easy for him to say¡¯ ¡®if nii-chan was here it would be a lot easier¡¯ With no time to waste Rinoa rush first then follow along by Take and Lola on the other hand circle the Goblin King in hoping of doing a backstab for more damage. The goblin King franticly slash with his sword in the air with no target what so ever. This kept them from nearing him for the wariness of a sudden arm swing attack. Finding an opportunity, Take spot one and released another Sword pierce the speed of the attack was fast reaching dead on to its head with intention of killing it swiftly but it was indeed difficult. The Goblin King block using his huge arm causing him to miss his mark. RInoa on the other hand already ran after Take make the initial start up movement. She released her skill attacking the weak spot that was created when the Goblin King was busy blocking. Her dagger connected and three combo flashed in the air hitting the face of the Goblin King. A chunk of its health fly leaving him with less than 40%. The goblin King quickly retaliates, a deafening yell was released from its mouth causing Rinoa to be stun on the spot. A two second stun was enough for her to meet her doom by the punch of his left punch. In those two seconds, it seems like time has halt Rinoa was in the brink of death. She knows even with one hit she would surely be dead with her health point that was only at 50% or so. But then the punch misdirected, behind the Goblin King another dagger was struck at his neck from behind. It was Lola she found her chance and utilizes it to the fullest. The backstab was successful and a chunk of its health depleted even more. 30% left and there was 10 minute or so before the period ends. The Goblin King spins around violently trying to get the pest at his back to flew off. Lola was flung in the air and before she hit to the ground someone was able to grab ahold of her. she immediately said; ¡®waa onii-chan thank you for saving me!!¡¯ But to her dismay it was Kubo and not her loving brother. ¡®ugh Kubo where is onii-san¡¯ Ian quickly said to Lola that stands beside Kubo who was carrying his little sister. ¡®Lola be ready we need to finish this quickly¡¯ ¡®ugh fine onii-san Kubo let me down¡¯ She then ran as fast as she can to find the perfect opportunity. Ian and Kubo arrive beside the Take and Rinoa. Rinoa barely escaped from death while Take skill wasn¡¯t able to pierce the thick arm. ¡®how is it going?¡¯ Rinoa reply; ¡®30% with 10 minutes left¡¯ ¡®not good we need to do a combine attack, Take and Kubo go and make space for Rinoa and Lola to land their hit. Tieriea keep monitoring our health, lets go guys¡¯ ¡®hait!!¡¯ Three of them dash to the front while at the backline Ian and Tieriea stand guard. Ian quickly start murmur his words of magic. While Tieriea did her job as a buffer to all the party member. Kubo start the assault, putting his shield on the front. He activate his skill to try to stagger the boss monster. ¡®Shield bash!¡¯ He moves quickly before the punch could be straighten out. The shield ram the body of the goblin King causing it to flinch a bit. Take and RInoa took the chance and both of them released their skills. ¡®Swroto pierce!¡¯ ¡®Slice of LiuBei¡¯ Both of them connected, leaving 25% left. The goblin King quickly gain his balance again and blast another punch toward Kubo. At that moment Kubo immediately cast warrior roar to up his defense against the devastating punch. *BAAM* Kubo brace on the attack and was push 3 meters back. the attack itself cause damage around 20%. Even with the heavily defense of Kubo was only able to withstand about that kind of damage. At that moment another person deal a blow to its neck. Lola appear from the silent dark and critically stab his neck. 3% was down and its health was currently 22%. He turns around and slash his sword to the back. Lola quickly anticipate and evade it. a nick land on her knee, 10% was cut off from her health. His eyes were in a blind rage observing the intruders that mock his king status. ¡®how dare you!! How dare you!!!!!!!!!¡¯ A silent mutter from someone; ¡®lightning spark¡¯ Spark of lightning rains down on the enraged Goblin King. As it was wide area spell, it can attack many opponents but with only one within his area of spell. The spell might focus on to only one target making the damage tremendous. 10% of its health was shave off. ¡®Ian-san 7 minutes to go¡¯ ¡®shit, keep him busy im gonna cast another one¡¯ Kubo was taking on the brink of its full on attack while Tieriea grits her teeth healing the health of their lone tanker. The punches was getting faster leaving unable to keep up with the damage toll. Take, Lola and Rinoa deliver slash after slash damaging the goblin King shaving as much as his health to kill it before the time ends. Then the air become cold and chilly, above them the air starts to form mist of dense cold temperature. Then he spoke of the words that will kill the living daylight of the Goblin King. ¡®Cold shard¡¯ Shards of ice start pouring down on the lone Goblin King. The goblin king roar out of pain and anguish. Its health quickly depleted until it was left with 1 percent. Take, Rinoa, Kubo and Lola quickly manifest their skills targeting the Goblin King releasing it simultaneously. As all four of them connect, its health turn zero. The corpse of the Goblin King drop dead and numerous window notification bombard them;
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª You have defeated the Green Goblin King within the time period, received another 50% extra experience from the Green Goblin King.

¡®waa we all earn some level 25 equipment, quite hard to get even one equipment.¡¯ ¡®I guess the time period does have its perk¡¯ Then another voice rang out that sounds like disappointment. ¡®ahh is it over already damn it miss the chance¡¯ It was none other than Roki, he was a tad bit too late from having some action. ¡®eh Roki where have you been are lazying around. In other words, don¡¯t forget my reward okay¡¯ ¡®fine fine¡¯ With all the action pack performance since the first time they arrive here, Rinoa unknowingly has forgotten the fact that her cheeky childhood friend was still level 5. Well you cant always be perfect can you. The party that shes currently was no doubt the best way for her to achieve the things that shes looking for. I guess JoantheArc are a bigger presence compare to Roki then. After collecting the loot and all they all then proceed to the fable door that leads to the hidden chamber that holds treasure beyond their wildest dream. ¡®wooo so this is the treasure room¡¯ ¡®come on quit dawdling and put the stone into it¡¯ ¡®sheesh I will just be silent for a moment, hmm Roki where¡¯s the gem¡¯ Roki rummage within his pockets. Beside the virtual inventory user could also utilized the pockets or bags in the equipment. Taking out the Moon Tear he then gave it to her. Rinoa with cautious step put the moon tear into the slot. Then sounds of mechanical hinge turning around unlocking from within the room. the moon tear glows and the door opens up. Rinoa excitingly open it as wide as it can and upon them were marvel that could not be fathom. Gold, everywhere they see are gold. Gold coins, gold pots, gold of everything are there. Within those golds are a few rare equipment trap within the enormous gold. You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author. ¡®we hit the jackpot!!!!!!¡¯ Lola shouts with eye gleaming like gold. She quickly takes as many as she can into her inventory. Even the calm Kubo was going mad grabbing all the gold he can. Tieriea and Take slowly goes around and grab gold ornaments and jewels that catches their eyes. To them it was a lot more worth it if they took the heavy things. Ian on the other also take in all the gold that he can grab while trying to search for something. It seems like notice the notification that the others don¡¯t
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª Congratulation!!

Ian was searching for something based on the hint from the notification. While grabbing all the coins he also found a rare staff and a few spell tomes. On the other hand, even Rinoa was franticly grabbing all the gold in the room. it was normal for them to act like this, gold itself is a necessity in this world. to level up you need money and the money in this world revolves around gold. In this early stage 1 gold coin is precious as it was equivalent to 100 silver coins and 1 silver coin was equivalent to 100 copper coin. For early level like them even 1 silver was hard to find let alone gold coin. She need the economic support to rise herself in this world. to reach her goal faster so she has no time to be a graceful lady or whatsoever. She need to reap what she can as long as its benefit her. Among all these people, a lone man was just standing idly. Not interested in grabbing gold and not interested in finding rare equipment. An urge suddenly brought him to the end of the room. Where there was nothing there except a podium where there lies a black orb with engraving on it. he read the engraving ¡®here lies one who was known to have immeasurable strength someone who once rule this land that came from the darkness of the night¡¯ An ominous feeling exude from the orb but he unconsciously grab a hold of it. Then a voice rang through his head like telepathy. ¡®uuuhmmm from deep slumber I have awaken, it seems I have found the one im looking for¡¯ ¡°what? Are you talking in my head?¡± ¡®yes I am. Oh ho it seems you are human¡¯ ¡°whats wrong if im human then¡± ¡®oh no im sorry if my statement cause a misunderstanding but the trait that you have is particular rare or even non-existent in the likes of human¡¯ ¡°you mean?¡± ¡®The title Master of Skills has been bestow upon you and its one of the requirement for you to awaken me from my slumber¡¯ ¡°again this Master of Skills you speak off, do you know Miss Zhang by any chance?¡± ¡®Zhang yes it must be the dragon clan, I once fought with the leader of the Zhang Dragon clan, it was interesting its been a long time I had that much fun ho ho ho¡¯ ¡°hmmm you know you sound like an old man¡± ¡®indeed I am young human, compare to your age im a lot older than you can think off but here I am desolated exiled by the one I fought for¡¯ ¡°are you going past memory thingy on me old man cause I get sleepy if hearing about past stories¡± ¡®ho ho ho no young one before I could tell the tale of the story, I would be long gone before I could finish it all¡¯ ¡°hey old man you said you have live a long life don¡¯t give up on me now¡± ¡®for someone who holds the title Master of Skills to a caring person it seems fate has truly shine upon the both of us¡¯ ¡°whatever old man, come on where are you im not gonna let you die that easily¡± ¡®hmm before that could happen I think you will be facing a problem¡¯ ¡°what problem?¡± ¡®not much but I think it¡¯s a dragon¡¯ ¡°what!!¡± The ground suddenly trembles after Roki shout inwardly within his own mind. the room ceiling was starting to crack and then a roar can be loudly heard resonating within this enclosed treasure chamber. ¡®ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRR¡¯ Ian quickly shout to his party member; ¡®guys!! Regroup fast¡¯ The party quickly regroup at the center while dragging as much gold as they can. ¡®whats happening Ian-san¡¯ ¡®I don¡¯t know but guys store in your inventory and be prepared for anything¡¯ ¡®hait!!¡¯ But Rinoa suddenly thought about her childhood friend, ¡®wait where is Roki¡¯ Ian calmly answer Rinoa question not wanting her to be excessively worried ¡®don¡¯t worry Rinoa he will be fine¡¯ ¡®but¡­¡¯ *ROARRRRRRRRRRRR* Another deafening roar vibrate through the room, the gold and treasure within the room shook violently. Then under the mountain of gold that sit at one corner of the room start to run down as something from within it rise itself. Tieriea shout as she saw something with her feline eyes; ¡®guys look at that corner¡¯ As their eyes focus to that one spot, they all gasp as they saw something that should not be encounter within this early in the game. Ian shout; ¡®Dragon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¯ A dragon came out of the mountain of gold, it was a wingless dragon with jade emerald scale that resemble a triceratops with it limbs of a European dragon. With three horns protruding from its head, it then spoke in the words of human ¡®WHO DARES TO AWAKEN ME FROM MY SLUMBER!!!¡¯ The dragon spotted the intruder that invade his space it then spoke to them ¡®THIEF!! HOW DARE YOU STOLE MY PRECIOUS TREASURE, NOW FEEL THE WRATH OF MY DRAGON FLAME¡¯ Warning notification window start to blink of them telling them the grave situation they were in
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª DANGER!! DANGER!!DANGER!! YOU HAVE AWAKEN THE EARTHEN EMERALD DRAGON THAT GUARD THIS ROOM FROM INTRUDERS. FLEE YOURSELF BEFORE THE ITS FLAME SEND YOU TO THE NETHERWORLD. EARTHEN EMERALD DRAGON Lv.400 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡®shit level 400? Nii-san what are we going to do¡¯ ¡®don¡¯t think lets run, fast!!!¡¯ Against an enemy with a level of 400 and plus being a dragon the party trembles in fear, never they have thought to met such monster in this early game. Ian have no plan what so ever to tackle this monster. He could only think of one thing run! As they ran Rinoa look back and thought about Roki; ¡®but Roki he still there¡¯ Ian grab ahold of her before she could crazily ran back to the mouth of the dragon. ¡®Rinoa we could not help him, come lets go¡¯ ¡®but, Roki because of me he¡­.¡¯ The mouth of the dragon start to raise in temperature with a motion to release a breath attack it targeted the fleeing puny humans. ¡®DRAGON BREATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¯ A torrent of flame with the highest degree of temperature scorch it way to them, gold within the proximity started to melt due to the flame of the dragon. As the flame spread out in an arc, Ian and Rinoa was the first to be in contact while the other three were still running their lungs out to reach the exit. A thought float in Ian¡¯s mind; ¡°we are dead¡± Then burst sounds start to explode creating vibration and tremors within this enclosed room. Ian who was closing his eyes opens up and saw someone cutting the flame that was apparently just in front of him then she heard Rinoa shout the name; ¡®Roki!!!¡¯ Ian was shocked never that he thought the one who was blocking the flame was Roki. for someone that he thought maybe a bit higher in level than him could withstand the might of a dragon¡¯s flame was astounding. He then heard Roki shouted; ¡®Ian!! Drag Rinoa out of here, I will hold it off!!¡¯ But Rinoa rebels not wanting to leave Roki by himself, her judgement was clouded due to her friend in mortal danger. ¡®no Roki!!! come with me I cant leave you Roki¡¯ ¡®Ian-san please bring Rinoa back!!¡¯ ¡®Yes Roki¡¯ Ian then drag Rinoa out of there, Rinoa try to resist but she could not move after Ian put a paralyzing spell on her. her eyes let out a tear as she was sad that Roki was left behind. As they past through the chambers door leading to the goblin king encampment. The ceiling floor collapses blocking off the entrance door. As the sight of Roki start to disappear, Rinoa stare at him until the last gap before it was block, Roki face her and let out a smile; ¡®nooooooooooooooooooooooo¡¯ They were separated, Rinoa and Roki are not together block by the debris of the ceiling of the dungeon. She fell down to her knees and cry her lungs out. Even thought it¡¯s a game the thought of leaving Roki pains her. even the others know what she felt as they all are pure gamer, to them this virtual is reality. ==================================================================================== Roki on the other hand was fighting for his life as he cut down the flames of a dragon with his iron sword. The dragon notice that the thief has escaped by the sacrifice of one lone man. The dragon was enraged. ¡®ROARRRRR HOW DARE YOU BLOCK MY FLAME NOW FEEL THE INTENSITY OF IT!!!!!¡¯ The flame increased in intensity as another shot of flame torrent blast through Roki. but Roki endure it, for a level 5 to endure this magnitude of attack was shocking. His master level sword strike able him to cut through any attacks even the flame of a dragon but it was also with a cost. His mana start to deplete fast, even with the usage only needed 1 mana but for him who was only having around 275 mana or so was not very pleased of the current situation. Plus his iron sword start to deteriorate in durability even with claded by the sword strike aura the strength of the terrifying flame was indeed tough to endure. The iron sword durability rapidly start to decreased, unknown to him he then leap out of the flame after knowing the others are safe. Leaping upwards he quickly buff himself with the only buff skill that he has. ¡®Improve concentration!!¡¯ All his senses heighten to its peaks, his agility his critical his attack speed his evasion was at the peak of a master level. With no time to waste he push while still in mid-air using the blast force of two soul orb from his spell Soul beat. He approaches fast to the dragon then his sword collide with the horn at the dragon nose. Tremendous pressure exert from just that one clash. The dragon was unscathed from the attack and mock Roki for his puny little attempt. ¡®FUTILE LITTLE THIEF YOUR ATTACK WILL NOT HURT ME LET ALONE LEAVING A SCRATCH NOW DIE!!¡¯ ¡®DRAGON HORN!!¡¯ Roki who just land to the ground after the clash bent over feeling the might of a true dragon compare to Miss Zhang this was in a different league. But he wasn¡¯t worry and he wasn¡¯t anxious. Deep within him, his heart start to beat. *BA-BUMP*BA-BUMP* It¡¯s the sensation that he long for, a sensation of being alive a sensation of being in a life and death situation. Right now the expression that he was showing was pure happiness a smile from cheek to cheek. Or more to a grin rather than a smile hehe. ¡®I found it again, let¡¯s do this!!¡¯ He then dash forward to the dragon who was also charging toward him with its horn glowing with strength. Once again they collide, but the sheer force of the dragon horn attack are too much for him to handle, he instinctly back away and let the momentum of the dragon ram to the wall of the chamber. Even with sword strike and sword mastery it was still not enough for him to go against this being attacks. He then start to cast his spell Soul beat while it was still showing its backside. A hundred orbs floating in the air and rain down the back of the ancient dragon. But to no avail barely a scratch from Roki spell. ¡®DONE WITH YOUR EFFORT YOU LITTLE MAN¡¯ Facing Roki once again, the dragon charge toward him with another horn strike. Roki grit his teeth and block it with all his might using sword strike aura and enhanced by improve concentration. At the same time he countlessly cast soul beat trying to hit any weak spot of the dragon. The dragon horn attack knock him back up until an inches away before Roki¡¯s body reach the wall. Then it happen, the iron sword suddenly break and it disintegrate leaving Roki helplessly charge by the ramming of the horn attack. The wall breaks and crumble by the force of its attack. Roki body vanish within those crumbling walls. ¡®HAHAHA FOR A PUNY HUMAN TO WITHSTAND MY ATTACK IS PREPOSTEROUS, NOW DIE AND LET YOUR SOUL GO TO THE NETHERWORLD¡¯ Unknown to the dragon, Roki cast his other spell, stealth when the sword instantly broke. He escaped the deathly attack of the dragon. Currently he was watching the dragon flaunt his power to himself bragging how much powerful he is and how weak is Roki. Roki silently stare at the obnoxious dragon. He was deep in thought on how to defeat it. with his mana barely still there, he thought of looking at the dragon closely. Every time it brags he laugh proudly. Roki stare at him until 2 hours pass, he could not find anything. Even when he is a battle freak he wouldn¡¯t want to fight someone without a plan. His mana was already full but his mind was still stuck. He could not thought of any breakthrough to defeat this dragon. But suddenly he spotted something, a scar right below its left eye. a scar that¡¯s hard to notice due to its scale covering it up. A chance for him to succeed in killing it, a chance for him to defeat the impossible. But something was still bothers him, what attack could make this monster bleed. Looking at his health bar not even 1 percent has fall since all the attack he has done. He could not figure it out any other safe way. yes a safe way there was no safe way but there is still a suicidal way. an all out attack, a one hit attack that could either be life or death. ¡°huh~ I hate doing that attack im almost dead fighting that one thousand hand Buddha, sheesh¡± ¡°hmm no other way then, lets end this¡± Facing the dragon while still in stealth mode, he then unleash his prized possession. LongEr¡¯s Bronze Jian Sword. A sword made partly with the scale from a dragon itself. But oblivious to this fact Roki could have fought with a safe way hehe. As hold the sword at one hand, power surge throughout his body. the feeling of holding an ancient sword was indeed a feeling none could felt at this time. Roki took a deep breath and exhale. His ending it, while in stealth mode he quickly buff himself and start to utilizes sword strike. Aura envelops the ancient sword, as he closed his eyes concentrating. Mana was accumulated within the sword, unraveling great strength as the aura thickens and form a large sword aura with the Roki¡¯s sword as its base. Usually stealth would be gone if activating another skill but for Roki whose stealth has reach master class it allow him to utilizes any spell or skill without unraveling the stealth mode. While the sword aura grew in size so does the wariness of the dragon. The dragon looks around feeling something was amiss, he could not shake off this feeling that death will surely arrive within this few moments. Then the dragon heard a voice. ¡®hey you oversized lizard, come and lets battle it out one of us will surely die today¡¯ The dragon look at the source of the voice, he was baffled seeing the puny human still alive after his horn attack and moreover within his hand was a sword aura which are bigger than him in 4 to 5 times in size. The dragon started to worried but then it refute of its own feeling. It once again act arrogantly; ¡®FOR A PUNY HUMAN YOU ARE LUCKY TO SURVIVE MY ATTACK BUT TO FACE ME AGAIN WOULD BE STUPID OF YOU NOW COME AS I WIPE YOUR EXISTENT OUT OFF THIS PLANET¡¯ ¡®TASTE MY DRAGON¡¯S FLAME, DRAGON BREATH!!¡¯ A surge of flaming torrent spew out of the mouth of the Earthened Emerald Dragon. Roki dash to the front as soon as it released its breath. The flame engulf the whole front of the dragon leaving no space for Roki to hide or avoid. ¡®HAHA NOW YOU ARE DEAD¡¯ Mock the dragon joyfully as soon as it was certain that Roki was not alive anymore. But within the sea of redness a voice came out. ¡®says who?¡¯ It was Roki, he suddenly emerge unscathed out of the sea of flames. Located above the head of the dragon. He concentrate on to the scar of the dragon. Holding the huge sword aura, he shouted his skill with the full intention of killing it; ¡®Sword Strike variation; Heaven¡¯s Decree!¡¯ A vertical slash going straight to the scar, but not without retaliation from the dragon. The dragon quickly counter with an upper horn attack. but it was a failure. The sword aura cut the horn like it was butter. The dragon was shocked seeing how easily its scale being pierce and mutter; ¡®THIS SENSATION!!! ITS DRAGON¡¯S SCALE¡¯ Without stopping from the dragon¡¯s explanation, Roki pierce its scar and cut it from top to bottom landing to the ground as he finish his skill. huffing for his breath, his sword aura start to disintegrate with dispersing into the air leaving only the original Jian sword. His mana and stamina were all depleted into zero while health point was left with one. This was the price for him to use such skill. a double edge attack. ¡®DAMN YOU HUMAN!!............¡¯ The roar of the dragon dies down as it went limp and drop to the ground. As it dies, tons of loot drop after its death leaving heaps of equipment that was outstanding beyond belief and he was also bombarded by the notification of him leveling up, it seems he has level up to level 22 in just blink of an eye. As Roki walks toward to loot the reward. The ground start shake yet again, then cracks started to appear on the ground. The ground start to crumble and caving in, one thing for sure Roki could not do anything he could not run let alone hide with his stamina zero he was immobile. As mountains of gold disappearing dropping down the crack. A loud rumble resound and the ground crumbles, everything starts to drop, the gold, the loots, the dragon corpse and even Roki. it was a free fall. While he was falling an orb glistening like the brightest gem you could ever find was falling beside him. He couldn¡¯t help it and take it as a souvenir. As the other things he wasn¡¯t able to get it on time as he then suddenly drop into water. The river current was harsh and Roki quickly fainted within the game. gold and treasures were swept by the roaring current of the river that was beneath the treasure room. After a few hours, he regains his consciousness and woke up near the river bed. ¡®ugh my head where am i?¡¯ As he slowly opens his eye, the scene in front of him was mesmerizing, crystals of every shape and sizes can be found a few meters in front of him and at the center of a wall of crystals he spotted an old man within the crystals. Then a voice resound through his mind; ¡®it seems you have passed the obstacle ho ho ho, I knew you could do it¡¯ ¡°ugh can you quiet down, head is spinning right now¡± ¡®come young human come near me¡¯ ¡°you got a lot of demands for an old man¡± Roki try to stand up, forcing his hand and legs to standing up. His body wobbles as try to balance himself. Dragging his tired body to the encased body. he then watches the body within the crystals. ¡®oOo¡¯ It was humanoid that resembles human except for its two horns protruding out of his head and its pale white skin. Other than that beside the pointy ears, white old hair and razor sharp nails there was none out of the ordinary. ¡°like you have saw young one, I am a demon or to be more accurately I am the previous Dark Emperor that has govern the darkness of this world keeping it in balance with the light. I am Valderath el Zaran¡± ¡®ok¡¯ ¡°eh? What do you mean ok young one aren¡¯t you surprised and amaze by the sight of a Dark Emperor such as i¡± ¡®old man I thought you are in danger but looking at you right now you are quite fine so I think I should go¡¯ Roki start to turn away and finding a way out but; ¡°wait wait wait!!!¡± ¡®ossan it annoying if you keep pestering me¡¯ ¡°I apologize for being an arrogant about my status its been awhile since I have talk to someone, but young one please I beg hear my plea¡± Roki only nod and beside the encased crystal. ¡°long ago during the time I once rule as the Dark Emperor, people worship me and fear me as I with my unlimited hold down even the strongest opponent. This cause conflict within my empire, some start to plan a coup against me with the intention of throwing me out their own emperor that once watch over them against any enemies. I thought it would only be portion of them that do not like me but to my demise. Every one on the council and the elders plotted against me. I was enraged and felt betray by the people I have vow to protect. After a long battle between me and the demon empire that last until a year they suddenly managed to defeat me. They cannot kill me but only managed to seal me within this crystals that was imbued by curses, mantras, enchants and spells that block me from releasing myself.¡± ¡®I see so now you want me to released you to exact revenge?¡¯ ¡°I wish I can young one I wish I can but my time is reaching its end. Rather than revenge I would like to help my people my people who has now scattered throughout the world. after ten thousand years I have finally meet you young one¡± ¡®me?¡¯ ¡°yes you, you are the one who will inherit my will and vigor please and accept this old man dying wish and help save the children of the demon empire!¡± ¡®you know its already ten thousand years right I don¡¯t think it exist anymore¡¯ ¡°no you are wrong, I have felt the new emperor power and by my suspicion a war is coming, please received my dying wish and halt the emperor misleaded ways¡± ¡®tell me is dark emperor strong?¡¯ ¡°Currently he is still collecting his power but without a doubt he would be powerful not as powerful as me of course ho ho¡± ¡®ok but tell me this why me why not the others?¡¯ ¡°young one, the only one who are capable of handling my power would be none other than someone who is strong and that is you! You have earned the title Skill of Masters¡± ¡®I think sooner later I need to read the description on this Skill of Masters, this title keep me meeting up with weird situation¡¯ ¡°you may as well do that later but please time is running out I could only hold for a few more minutes¡± ¡®ok¡¯ ¡°young one come and received my blessing¡± ¡®ok how do I do it?¡¯ ¡°touch the crystals and the rest let me¡± ¡®ok¡¯ As soon as Roki touches the crystals that embedded the body of the old Dark Emperor. A notification window open up
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª A race change is about to happen, would you like to proceed with changing your race into the Ancient Arc Demon. Yes/No ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Roki choose yes and a surge of power went through him. He felt pain all over the body as his body is modifying into those of an Ancient Arc Demon. Sound of pain and bone cracking apart resound through the deep cave. After an hour or so, his metamorphosis has finish. Currently a single horn was protruding at the center of his head it was not long only a bud of it. his skin was pale white and his eye was dye in deep crimson red. His ears are pointy like those of an elf. ¡®ugh that was harsh hey cant I change back to my real face?¡¯ ¡°oh you don¡¯t like the appearance? Try the skill metamorphosis¡± Roki check his skill slot and notice a few new skills and one of them was metamorphosis, he immediately used; ¡®metamorphosis¡¯ His appearance change back to those of his own human self, but while changing back he notice that he felt severely weaken. ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter if you like or not but please help the children of the empire¡± ¡®I see ok then¡¯ ¡°young one within this world my power has been divided as they seal me within here go regain those strength back and claim the throne of the dark emperor as your own!¡± ¡®wait what? Didn¡¯t you said?¡¯ ¡°I cant answer you my young one as my time has come, now I will used every bit of my power to send you to one of my power location, farewell and live on Dark Emperor!¡± ¡®damn it I have been duped¡¯ A bright shine of light enclosed Roki and he was then teleport to the world beyond. The teleportation was harsh, he felt dizzy and was lying on the ground and as he opens his eyes a shadow blocks the sun. He grumble while saying ¡®what the hell is this blocking the sun?¡¯ Then he heard it speak ¡®who ar thou that lay within our land?¡¯ He opens up his eye widely and saw the thing that block the shadow. Holding a sword to his neck the shadow was large definitely large. The lower part was of a light brown horse and the upper part was an armor body with its chest protruding quite heavenly. Opening the helmet there he saw a beauty. a blonde beauty with the face that resembles Charlize Ther#n her ears resembles those of a horse. It was none other than a race that was oftenly heard in Greek legends. ¡®a centaur?¡¯ END OF VOLUME 1 Chapter 11: First time It was 11.00 pm, the sound of a click open up from a white pod that was owned by Kichiro. Coming out from the white pod, he was exhausted since he was playing the game for a long time. outside of the white pod he notice a mature girls body laying around on the floor with her belly exposed slightly at the mid rift. You can even see a bit of the bra worn by the girl. but nonetheless, Kichiro care less about this girl well it was his childhood friend. ¡®huh why is Layla laying around here¡¯ ¡®anyway im kind of hungry, lets find some grub to eat¡¯ While he was trying to exit his room, something grab ahold of his feet. Like an anchor staking down at the sea bed, its cause him to be unmovable. Looking down, he saw a grief stricken girl with tears forming at the corner of her eyes. A cry came out of her mouth as soon as Kichiro look her into the eyes. She suddenly start to talk in gibberish while tears flowing down. ¡®wuaa, Ki..chi..*sniff*sniff* kun, i¡ªm *sniff* sorry¡¯ ¡®ok then let me go im starving¡¯ ¡®but *sniff* but¡¯ ¡®yeah I forgive you so can I go eat now?¡¯ ¡®hmm noo you cant *sniff* *sniff* I done something bad, wuaaaa Kichi-kun im sorryyyyy¡¯ ¡®huh~ this girl¡¯ While Layla keep wallowing on the floor, Kichiro wait for no further he bends down and pick up Layla up as he has grown tired of seeing her crying like a baby. Even though he was a bit shorter than her, he easily pick her up with a little bit of effort. When she was suddenly been picked up, her wailing stop almost instantly. Bizarre by the sudden princess pickup, her face suddenly turn red due to shyness. Suddenly a shy voice came out of her moist pink lips. ¡®eh? Kichi-kun isn¡¯t this a bit to fast¡¯ After speaking of those words, she then start to panicked, it seems her heart was that ready yet to move on to the next phase. While imagining those kind of scene she suddenly start to squirm around, while continuously slapping around randomly at Kichiro. ¡®ayaaa, no Kichi im not ready~~!!¡¯ Annoy by the sudden change in emotion of Layla, he was starting to get roused up more on the anger side. While he was continuously been beaten up indiscriminately, he could not stand it anymore. Pulling his head back, he then headbutt Layla straight to her forehead letting her stun by the sudden impact. ¡®owww¡¯ With her gone silence, Kichiro went to climb down the stairs while carrying Layla. She started to complain as soon as Kichiro headbutt her and bringing her downstairs. A pouring of question start to rain down on Kichiro moreover regarding what did he do after being alone with the mighty dragon. Still carrying her, he move infront of the fridge. Ignoring all the question, he then start to order her around. ¡®hey take out the pudding and the seaweed soup¡¯ Layla follow his order while still yapping about what happen in the game just now. After the fridge, he then went to the microwave; ¡®put it in there, heat it up¡¯ Her hand closely follow Kichiro instructions, while her mouth non-stop talking to him; ¡®scoop some rice¡¯ ¡®fry some eggs¡¯ ¡®heat up the green tea¡¯ After completing all the things that he ask for, Kichiro try to put her down on a chair but she adamantly wriggle herself not wanting to sit, she was upset because all of her questions were avoided by Kichiro. Not wanting to wait any longer, he just sat down on the chair while resting Layla on his lap. Layla soft bottom rest on top of Kichiro¡¯s lap if it was any other man she would have been fallen prey upon the situation luckily Kichiro was being Kichiro himself. Layla once again turn red, with his hand free. He eat slowly the food that was prepared by Layla well it was by his instructions. Kichiro enjoy his dinner while Layla pout after she was being ignore by him. After a few bites, then Kichiro start to answer her; ¡®so what do you want to ask¡¯ Brighten by the sudden development, she quickly barrage him with questions. ¡®what happen after you being left alone?¡¯ ¡®did you die?¡¯ ¡®why didn¡¯t you answer my call when I call you directly at the pod intercom?¡¯ ¡®how come you in there for a long time? did you gone somewhere else? ¡¯ ¡®I was waiting for a long time outside of your pod, you know¡¯ Taking another spoonful of rice with eggs, he then start to tell the tale of his story; ¡®well where should I begin¡¯ ===================================================================================== -back when in the game- A sword was directed to Roki¡¯s neck. A fine blade made out of excellent materials, the large shadow reveal herself to be a mythical race from the fable tale of greek origin. Half horse half human, the lower half of a grown horse and the upper half of a human dress in metal armors. Removing the helmet, unravel a beauty hidden by the metal. Looking at her from below, Roki notice that the one before him looks just like one of those actess, Charlize ther*n. with her blonde hair cut style based on pixie and short crop. Her hair cut certainly accentuate her beauty. then she spoke; ¡®who are thou to lay down on the land govern by us?¡¯ Speechless by the fable species, once again he was intrigue by this race. Same as when he was excited to see a werecat, currently he was much more excited of seeing another half human half beast. Well to be exact he does has a kind of interest toward mythical beast and their own lores. Roki look at her dumbfounded and spoke while dazed; ¡®uhm im Roki?¡¯ There was a long silent between the both of them. Roki couldn¡¯t really explain about his current situation, it would be to weird to be comprehend by others let alone to an NPC. She then ask another question; ¡®how thou have come here?¡¯ ¡®teleportation¡¯ Another long silence, the centaur eye him from head to toe with a cold expression. It was far fetched to believe those kind of words from a stranger let alone a random human. Then instantly the centaur raise her front hoof, trying to stomp on to Roki. Roki was too daze to react and the hoof came down but he never blink. He was too amazed by the sheer beauty in front of him. Once again their eye met, the cold expression of the centaur never budge. Only a declaration was made by the female centaur knight. ¡®Im Knight of the Order of the SteelLance here by prison you in accordance of trespassing to the land of our Kingdom, Beotian¡¯ Tying him up with a simple rope she then drag Roki back to the castle of the kingdom of Beotian. Roki obediently follow her without retaliating, it seems he doesn¡¯t really mind being tug away. Well more like his mind was currently occupied by imagination of the centaur in front of him. ¡°man if I could ride on her back that would be sweet huhu¡± After a while they then reach the city of Beotian. It was a magnificent site, entering the city, he saw countless numbers of centaurs roaming around the street. They come in different kind of colors and sizes, old and young and similarly resemble humans. It was a lively town but as he enter the city, eyes were locking down on him. He was feeling a bit uncomfortable as the stare were sometimes fill with fear and hate. It seems human doesn¡¯t really been like by the centaur based on what he was observing right now. The he arrived at the castle that reside at the center of the city. The castle was comprised of three stories based on outer display. It has a distinct style to it and based on what he has saw there was a lot of statue of centaur around the proximity of the city. He caught a glimpse of the name carved below the statue, Centaurus. He heard of the name, based on his greek knowledge Centaurus was said to be the father of the centaur race. No wonder there was a lot of his statue here. Rather than entering the castle to meet the King, he was rather sent to the underground where the prison was located. Going underground, they then stumble upon a centaur guard. The guard who was dozing quickly salute to the female knight centaur with a sign respect toward her. ¡®Captain!! What brought you here¡¯ ¡®a prisoner¡¯ The guard centaur look at Roki with disgust as soon as he saw Roki who are a human; ¡®hmph human trash, be lucky that you are caught by the captain, if I were¡­¡¯ The guard sentences was cut short with the female knight quickly ask him of the key to the prison. He obliged flustered with his stare still fixated to the human in front of him. Before he dump into the iron jail, he was strip off from his equipment. His trenchcoat, his ragged pants his shoes and even his ancient sword strip away leaving him with only his white brief. Thrown into the jail, his equipment was then brought to a storage where all the criminals belongings were kept. As soon as he enters the jail, a blue window notification opens up.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª You have been put into the jail by breaking the law of the Kingdom of Beotian. Before the trial of your sentence you will be lock in jail for three days. Infamy: +50 ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
¡®hmmm lock huh, never been into a jail before¡¯ ¡®damn that old demon, because of him im being lock in here¡¯ ¡®but if you think about it thanks to him I get to see a centaur hahaha¡¯ A man with only his underwear was happily laughing because of being able to encounter a centaur. But soon his laugh dies down with a sigh the end. ¡®huh~ in the meantime what can I do while being locked up here¡¯ Scanning around the prison cell, it was quite large compare to a normal prison more likely it was made to cater to centaur criminals. With its large size comes with large makeshift hay bed. How horse like of them to made a hay bed. Other than that there was a big metal basin at the other corner of the room.it was more likely be the toilet of this prison cell. Roki doesn¡¯t really need to take a shit in this world as he wasn¡¯t a resident of this world. with nothing else to do he lays down on to the hay bed with his hands on the back of his head. staring to the ceiling, he then thought of something. ¡®ahh I almost forget need to check about this title of mine¡¯

Not like I even know what all those number meant¡¯ Then he open up his status window while using the voice command ¡®status window¡¯ He then let out an exclamation; ¡®ohh¡¯ ===================================================================================== Outside of the prison, the female captain centaur presents herself to the leader of the knight order. Clad with her bright silver metal armor on the upper half and the lower half cover by a large skirt, at her waist hung her sword encased in a decorated sword sheath. Walking on her four legs toward the leader of the knight order, she was holding Roki¡¯s ancient sword to present it to the leader. Her stone cold expression kept constant even while infront of her leader. standing in front of the leader she gave a light bow to him. ¡®greeting Sir Marchen, I have come to present a report of a new prisoner¡¯ In front of her was a male centaur, with his stern look accompany by the manly black beard that he has made him exude a peculiar aura. An aura of a commander an aura of a leader and it was apparent of why he has chosen as the leader of the order of the knights. His arm were huge even with the large tunic that he wore it was helpless by his big guns. Along with that a noticeable scar can be seen slash across his face. while busying looking at the documents, he intimidatedly glare at the one who approach him. ¡®if isn¡¯t my precious captain, what brought you here, Dame Hilda¡¯ ¡®Dame Hilda here to report of trespasser on to the sacred land of Beotian¡¯ Marchen already know how stuck up this captain of his, she was always following the protocol. He let out a sigh; ¡®huh~ yaa Hilda, I know its protocol but you don¡¯t have to prison every trespasser that you saw while crossing our border, you can just give them a warning or so and¡¯ Before he could finish his complain to the captain, she presented to him the ancient sword wield by Roki. he suddenly stop on his words immediately. The brilliance of the sword outshone anything that he has saw before. His face was expressing an amazed expression. ¡®this¡­where do you get this¡¯ ¡®from the trespasser Sir Marchen¡¯ ¡®for someone to have this sword is astoundingly incredible, this sword even though its look a bit different from our normal sword this blade hold incredible power even when compare to my unique lance¡¯ This time even Hilda show a bit of a surprised expression, she never thought that this sword hold more power than the strongest lance in Beotian. ¡®stronger than your Liberator? That¡¯s impossible I thought it would be a bit less powerful than your lance¡¯ ¡®frankly its not, based on my experience this sword is a level higher than the unique rank¡¯ ¡®then its an artifact?¡¯ ¡®I do not know all we can do is question the owner of this sword, maybe he will divulge where he had obtain this sword then maybe¡­¡¯ ¡®we can win against those barbaric people!¡¯ For once Hilda expression turns to anger, it seem this notion of barbaric people rouse her anger up. Seeing how the calm and collected Hilda turn enraged let Marchen knows how hateful she was to this barbaric human that they mention. ¡®Dame Hilda, I know thou are angry toward this human but rest assure as long as we obtain information regarding this ancient weapons, we the centaur will triumph against this arch-enemy of ours!¡¯ ¡®Yes Sir Marchen¡¯ Taking her leave from the room, she suddenly pause on her track looking back at Sir Marchen. She looks as if she was trying to told him something, but she move on not wanting to reveal to Sir Marchen the beholder of the ancient sword. ===================================================================================== Back in the dungeon, the idling Roki was taking a snooze. He was sleeping comfortably on the hay bed as if it was his own bed. He would never have thought that it would be this comfortable. Time passes and after an hour or two or so, he then woke up and stretch his virtual body. even in the game he felt that his body was starting to get lethargy. He thought of doing some minor exercise to kill the boredom but he has forgotten that he wasn¡¯t a fan of exercising. So his motivation dies down quick, rather than exercising he then thought of doing magic. He had never tinker about magic before as the only spell that he know of was taught automatically by the dragoness that once taken his virtual virginity. While laying down there buck naked with only his brief on, he then raise his hand to the ceiling. Concentrating on the mana around him, he tries to focus. 1 minute pass and then 2 minutes pass¡­.. 15 minutes pass ¡°huh nothing, I really cant felt this mana huh¡± It was a failure , his attempt on detecting mana from his surrounding was a misfire. Those scene he always saw in movies depicting how magician need to feel the mana was utterly useless for him right now. Well it was only his first time but he was quick to give up as it was boring to him. Roki was getting bored he even thought of smashing down the prison wall to escape well he does have that capability but he try not to. One thing for sure he knows that relationship between user and NPC are real for him. This mindset of his allows him to play it like it was the real world. Closing his eye, he start to went back to sleep until sound of hoof approaching his cell. Then it stop, a female voice resound through the large cell room alerting Roki before he snooze. ¡®Prisoner wake up¡¯ Roki open his eye and saw the face of the centaur that imprisons him here. It was the charlize ther&n look alike, it was only just a while ago that they met and separated but Roki knew this centaur have something within herself that was revolting within those ice cold expression. To lighten up the mood he let out a cheesy one liner that he learn from movies; ¡®well well if isn¡¯t the lovely lady who imprison me in her love cell¡¯ *krik krik krik* Silence between them was longer than usual; the one liner wasn¡¯t really effective like he assume it would be. ¡°shit I guess the effect wasn¡¯t like I thought of¡± ¡®Human tell me how thou obtain the sword that thou wield¡¯ Roki stumble upon the question that the female centaur asks of him, he didn¡¯t expect a topic about his sword to come up. Then he thought of something; ¡®hmm whats in it for me if I told you this valuable information?¡¯ The female centaur only look at him, staring him down. Staring with eye full of contempt, she wasn¡¯t a fan of human same as the other centaur, human are not well like as for years they have pose a threat to the centaur living in this kingdom. ¡®for a prisoner you do not know where thou are standing¡¯ ¡®yeah I know but it seems like you on the other hand want something from me correct?¡¯ ¡®what are thou implying?¡¯ ¡®its give and take don¡¯t you ever heard of it¡¯ ¡®we centaur do not knows the way of human living, we are a pride and strong species¡¯ ¡®okay then what do you need me for?¡¯ Roki struck a cord to Hilda¡¯s heart, Hilda was in fact quite proud of her centaur blood. She also would have never thought of asking help from anyone and moreover a human at that. She only look at him and ask; ¡®I knight of the order of SteelLance wouldn¡¯t ask of a human help¡¯ She turns away and left Roki with her mood turn sour. As she step away further and further, so does her heart. The notion of helping her kingdom from the threat of humans went further away. But she then grit her teeth, throwing away the pride of a centaur she return back to Roki and ask of him; ¡®what do thou want in exchange of thou information¡¯ Roki could only smirk to Hilda with only one thing in his mind; ¡®what¡¯s your name?¡¯ ¡®eh?¡¯ A puzzled face cross Hilda¡¯s as she heard the question from the smiling Roki. ===================================================================================== Meanwhile in a faraway place, two shadows was conversing within a room that was filled with artistic arts. Paintings, sculptures, scriptures and etc, this place was a haven for those who has passion in art and to the one who own this room was delightfully listening to a recorded music while holding on to a wine glass. The shadow that was sitting on the royal like chair ask the one who was kneeling in front of him; ¡®is this true?¡¯ ¡®yes milord, just like the council of elders have said, ¡®his¡¯ presence was detected¡¯ ¡®ridiculous!! How can he suddenly exist didn¡¯t the last emperor and his subordinates eliminate him?¡¯ ¡®I do not know my liege, the elders said the black pearl which they once used to detect ¡®him¡¯ started to glow for awhile and then it faded and crack¡¯ ¡®crack?? The legendary artifact, Black Pearl crack after detecting that presence? Preposterous what are the elders are doing, letting that precious artifact to be destroy just like that ugh!!¡¯ The angry shadow stands up while slamming down the wine glass on to the table causing it to smash into pieces. He then stand up and went to the door leading outside. The kneeling shadow nervously ask; ¡®my liege, where are you going?¡¯ ¡®where?? Im gonna teach those elders not to take light of our precious artifacts¡¯ ¡®but my liege, ¡®he¡¯?¡¯ ¡®him? Heh, since the black pearl crack it does meant that he is not alive anymore, why should I care¡¯ ¡®but the elders said they detect another person mana that resemble the late emperor for a moment¡¯ ¡®what did you said! Come servant!¡¯ ¡®yes my liege, where we will be going?¡¯ ¡®I will make sure that this person wont live long enough, notify the Bayangan Corp. for futher instructions but first lets pay a visit to the elders¡¯ ¡®yes my liege¡¯ Leaving the room, both of them vanish within the dark corridor. Inside the room, an armor encased in a glass closet bore a menacing aura and at the bottom lays it name and the owner of the armor;
