《[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor》 Chapter 1 – New Game. "Okay. The instations are now over. All system are good and connected as well. The capsule is now ready to use." C said the man with UTO written on his back. "If somethinges up, please contact us." C said the other man also wearing UTO written on his back. "Yea. I got it. Thanks." C said the man with the scar across his forehead. The pair of men left the apartment after delivery a capsule like device to the man. "Now then. Let see what we have here." It''s was the year 2039 and the era of games had just begun. Computer games. Board games. Mobile games. Card games. Chess. Poker. Rock Paper Scissors. Hide and Seek. FPS. RPG. Survivals. Explorations. MMO. Trading Card Game. And the list go on and on. Pretty much there exists countless games in the existence. And pretty much everybody can find the game they enjoy. However, game is a game in the end. BUT! What do you think if you could go INTO the game world itself? A REAL WORLD OF THE GAME? Introducing: VRDS (Virtual Reality Dimension System). This is special type of device allows you to dive right into the world of the game itself. The device that is mostly produced is [VRD Capsule] or just called capsule. This device allows you enter the world of the game. It exist in two different forms. The private form, where you can order your own capsule to be installed in your home, or the center capsule where you go to the game center where you can rent a capsule and y there. The device alsoes in the special model simr to the VR headset, but it requires and a special device called [Home VRDS Device]. The difference in models doesn''t affect the gamey at all, but the capsule allows you to y without the worry about the real world while the headset makes it easy for you to y in small rooms. So, both of the capsule and headset have their own benefits and downsides. Anyway, I think it''s time we stop talking about them and instead talk about their fiction: The game dive. When activated it will transport the consciousness and mind of the user into virtual reality, just like in novels andics. You will be a being of that world. You can feel and express your emotions. Eat and feel pain! Just like in real life! Not only that, but thepany that developed this headgear also developed the first ever game that uses is and it''s called "Unwritten Tale Online" or UTO. With the appearance of the VRDS and UTO, the world of the games ended up entering a new era. The era of the real world games. (A thing straight out of fantasy huh? Well, they are not wrong. You only hear about world where you enter the game itself in novels orics But to think that some childish dream became reality and humans can enter now the world of the games?) "" "Honestly, I have to ept the reality, since right in front of me is a literally a device that can put me into the world of game So, it''s not like I can deny it or anything." ".." "So, I put this thing here and connect this cable to theputer." "Setting up. Logging in on the ount on theputer. Register the device." "And done." "If the light on the on the side near the open button is blue. That means its ready to use." Blue light. "Okay, that seems so be the case. So, let''s jump in." The young man opened the capsule like device and entered it. After setting few things inside of it he then manid downfortable and pressed a button. Upon pressing the button, all of his senses felt weird and unknown change. The man could not feel nothing for the moment before he could feel changes suddenly happening all around him and inside of him. "WOW!" "Shit! That took me by surprise." "It felt really freaking weird, but I think it worked?" C said the man after looking around. (I mean it did worked. I''m literally not in my room anymore but this weird space.) "?!" (Holy shit?! What the fuck is with my body?! I look like some digitals thing?!) "Is this Normal?" (But the weird thing is that I feel everything just like in real life. They weren''t kidding one bit. That is a bit scary in a way.) (I can also move my body pretty much without problem, even though I was just in capsule just moment ago.) (I''m trying to move my hands and arms where the capsule walls were but I can''t touch anything.) (Honestly, it''s quite cool but also bit creepy when you think about it. So, I literally disconnected from real world and connected to this world? What would happened if somebody did something to me in real life while I''m ying? Would I even feel anything?) () (This is Safe? Right?) "" "Em Let''s just ignore that for now and y" [Log In] [Email] [Password] "Hm? Something appeared." "Log in huh? Okay." The man begin typing something on the floating keyboard in front of him. [Login sessful.] [Login into the chosen game: Unwritten Tale Online.] Suddenly the entire space around the man changed into a grassnd. "Wow." While the man was looking around, a floating giant board appeared in front of him. [Wee to the Unwritten Tale Online.] [New ount detected.] [Do you wish to create your new character?] "Yea." [The main aspect of the Unwritten Tale Online is the freedom. There is no main quest or specific path. You haveplete freedom. You can create your character in any way you want. You can help people or kill them. You can be a hero or a viin. You can be lord of the territory that protect their people or a bandit that plunders others for your greed and enjoyment. The choices are infinity and they are all yours to make!] [To begin character creation process, please press "Start" button.] Man pressed the button on the floating board. [Well then, shall we start?] [Beginning character creation.] [The character creation is divided into 3 different phases.] [1- [The body.] [2 - [The ability.] [3 - [Creation.] [1- [The body.] [The body phase about creating your avatar, the you of this new world.] [It is not only about the appearance, but it''s also your race.] [Each race has their own benefits and downsides. Some races even possess sub race. So please be careful when making your character.] [Not only do some races possess sub races, they can also influence your starting location.] [2 - [The ability.] [In UTO, the mostmon way of getting the skills is via sses.] [When acquiring or growing the sses, you will be able to obtain some skills.] [There are other means of getting skills, such as [Special Skills] that you can get by nonstandard means or [Item Skills], a skills that item possess. But we won''t bother about them for now and leave information on them in the tutorial menu if you are eager to learn more.] [But for now, we shall talk about sses.] [In UTO, there exists sses. Many different type of sses. Some are aboutbat, while some are about something else like cksmithing or just farming. Each skill can give you skills that may each possess their own specialty or effect(s).] [In UTO, the yers can possess multiple sses.] [So, how do you get a ss in the first ce? Well, you use a special resource called [ss Points].] [When ying the game, the yers wille in possession of the special resource called [ss Points].] [What are these ss points used for? Well, for acquiring sses and growing them.] [By using specific amount of ss points, you are able to acquire ss.] [Each ss consume different number of points.] [sses can be obtained by various means.] [First are normal sses, the sses you can pick and learn whenever you want.] [The second are evolved sses. Some sses can evolve when specific conditions are meet, for example reach this ss max level or something.] [The third type of ss are conditions sses. Theses sses you need to fulfil specific conditions, for example do this or do that, but you will probably encounter the mostmon type of sses where you have to get 2 or more different sses at the specific level to unlock a ss.] [The fourth type of ss are nonstandard sses. This sses can be acquired by not normal means, such as items or quests or maybe some sort of trials.] [Anyway, now we should talk about 2 important things about sses.] [The first are skills you can get from each sses.] [Each sses provide their own skills; some skills may provide their own unique skills or may influence other skills. Some skills can have passive or active effects.] [The number of skills each ss provide depends on the ss itself.] [So, now you are wondering, how to raise a ss level?] [Well, most of the time you will have to feed the ss with you [ss Points]. However, some sses may posses'' conditions to raise their levels.] [For example, you first need to raise to the specific character level or maybe you need to level up specific skills to the specific level.] [Each time the ss levels up, it will provide you with either new ss or an upgrade to the current ss you own.] [sses can also provide the user with the skills, but it doesn''t always happened per level. Sometimes sses only provide very few skills, but if the ss doesn''t provide a skill, it will instead boost one of the skills in your possession rted to the ss, meaning if you didn''t get skill, instead one of your skills would get powered up.] [What kind of power up? This: -The skill will gain (+1). This thing will boost the sses performance in different ways depending on the skill. Not only that, but the skill can get this upgrade several times, meaning it can be (+2) or (+10). The upgrade effect varies from skill to skill. Some may have same effect when the ss levels up or maybe has a different upgrade effect or maybe upgrades the skill like the level up AND provide additional effect.] [The max level that each ss can posses depends on the ss in question.] [Sometimes the ss can have 100 levels but will have only cost of 1 ss point to level up or there may be a ss that have max level of 10, but needs 10 ss points to even level up once.] [Well, to raise a ss level you need to level up its skills. How do you do it? Simple put there are 3 ways.] [1 C Use the skill in question.] [2 C Do the action rted to the skill. For example, sword rted skill will receive EXP whenever you use your sword.] [3 C Use skill that belongs to the same ss or ss rted.] [You need to remember, just having a lot of skills doesn''t make you stronger. Sometimes skills with level 2 or 3 can be stronger than 10 level 1 skills. So please be carefully when you are making your character build and took that fact in consideration.] [One more thing about the sses.] [Anyway, here are a bit more info about sses. Some sses can possess a rarity such as [Common] or [Rare]. These sses can often show how strong the ss can be or how hard it''s to get one. But please remember, that high rarity ss doesn''t mean better, if it doesn''t fit 1 bit to your current build, so be careful.] [The third part is creation.] [This part is quite simple.] [It''s an exnation.] [So just allow me to exin.] [But before that, here are some info about [Stats].] [Main stats] [HP: 110/110] [Health: 11] [The stat that represent character life. If it reaches 0, then the character dies.] [MP: 110/110] [Mana: 11] [A resource type energy that is often used by many things. This source of energy is very often used by the skills, meaning you need it to activate them.] [SP: 110/110] [Stamina: 11] [Stamina is necessary when doing physical activities. Some skills may require use stamina as a resource.] [Strength: 6] [The stat that influences the physical strength. Can influence performance of some weapons by making them more powerful. The higher the stat is, the heavier equipment you can equip.] [Agility: 6] [The stats that influences the attack speed and speed. Can influence performance of some weapons by making them faster and deadlier.] [Intelligent:6] [The stat that influences the performance of the spells and some skills.] [Vitality: 6] [The stat that influences the defense and amount of damage blocked.] [The shown stats are called "Base Stats". This stats are stats that everybody has.] [However there also exist "Extra Stats" that can be acquired by various means and they provide special bonuses.] [Whenever the yers levels up, they will receive: -5 ss point. -10 stat points. -+1 to all stats.] [After reaching level 100, all the rewards you would get from now one would increase by: -Bonus 2 ss point. -Bonus 2 stat points. -Bonus 0.5 to all stats.] [That bonus would be applies over and over again after every 100th level.] [You probably realized this and yes, this is the [Cration] phase.] [Your skills and overall abilities are heavily influenced by your stats.] [With enough [Strength] you can lift and swing a giant sword with ease while with high enough [Intelligent], the power of your spells would end up getting huge boost.] [Each point of stat matters when ites to creating your build and please be wary of that. You may get some sort of OP ss in the future, but if your stats build doesn''t match, then the performance of that ss may end up getting weaker. On the other hand, if you get and ss that fit your current stats, it performance may be way better than the OP ss performance.] [So not only be wary of what sses you pick, but also the fact that your stats influence performance of your sses.] [Well then. This is all.] [But not quite.] [Stat, skills, race.] [There is one more important thing.] [Tittles A.K.A achievements (But most of the times they will be referred as titles.)] [Tittles are something like a story.] [Your own actions will write your tale and you will leave the evidence behind both on yourself and this world.] [Be it small or big action, if there is enough impact, the title will be generated ording to your deed.] [Unlike sses or items, titles have a different ranking system.] [There is nomon, rare or legendary, but instead: E, D, C, B and so on. You get the picture.] [Depending on how big of an impact you make on yourself, your story or this world if not all 3bined, the stronger the title will be and the stronger effect it will be.] [So, write your own story with your own hands and your actions and see what you have written.] [So, this all stuff we talked about.]n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om [Now then, let me give you onest piece of information.] [Writing and freedom.] [You are free to whatever you want to do.] [Write your own story the way you want!] [Be the hero who defends the weak or be the wicked viins who brings harms.] [Be the king who led their people or just a bandit that steals from others.] [It''s your own tale to write!] [Evil? Good? Screw it! You decide!] [Be free!] [So have fun or not, it''s your choice.] [Now with that is over, I say "Wee" and enjoy yourself.] "." "Huh. Honestly it was bit long But they mentioned a lot of very important stuff and details There were even pictures and short videos showing things." (Well, there was a lot of info, but pretty much everything seem very important, so I''m not exactlyining.) [Do you wish to start the character creation or do you wish to look through the information bit more?] "Nope. Let''s start creation." [Character creation will start.] [You are allowed to take any of 3 steps in any order you want.] [You starting with 110 stat points and 55 ss points.] "Hm Let''s go with sses." [Tamer] [Water Mage] [Warrior] [Swordman] [Archer] . (Wow The list just stenches on and on.) (And this is probably only a bit of the sses you can get in the game.) (Just how many sses did they put in this game in the first ce?!) (Still, is there anything interesting in here?) () (Hm I think I will go with mage.!) [Poison Mage] C [Level: 0/100] C [ss Point cost per level: 2] (Oh! Poison? I really like using characters in games that do damage over time like poison or setting enemies on fire.) (It''s very tempting.) (But only 2 points?) () (The max level is 100 and its only beginner ss So, I would need to put 200 points to reach max level. 200 / 5 is 40. So, I would need 40 levels to reach that ss max level, if I were to put all points into poison magic.) (So does that mean I have to put all of the points into it?) "Ah screw it." (Lets go with poison, but its better if I pick 1 more ss.) "" (Hm. There isn''t-) "Wait." (Alchemist and cksmith?) (Hm Maybe getting a ss that makes items will be pretty interesting?) [Alchemist] C [Level: 0/100] C [ss Point cost per level: 1] [cksmith] C [Level: 0/100] C [ss Point cost per level: 1] (Not only that, alchemy and poison? Doesn''t that sound as interestingbo?) (Okay. Let''s go with those two!) [You have invested ss points into [Beginner Alchemist].] [You are unable to put any more points into [Beginner Alchemist].] "???" [To unlock ability to raise [Alchemist] level, please level up skill [Alchemy].] "Oh So, there is a catch. I should have seen thating considering how cheap of the cost the ss has." (Hm Then should I spend points on the third ss?) () (Nah. Let''s just spend all points into poison magic.) [ss: [Poison Mage]-[LVL:22/100] [Alchemist]-[LVL10/100] ] [Unspent ss points: 1] [Do you wish to finish this phase?] "Well, I think so. I mean I literally did all I could." (Now What should I pick for my race?) [Human] [Elf] [Dwarf] [Lizardman] [Orc] [Goblin] [Beastman] (Wow There is also shit tons of races Some of them also have sub races.) (Hm I don''t want human Seem too in?) (?) (Demon folk? A humanoid demon Huh. Seem interesting?) () Chapter 1 – New Game Part 2. (But nope.) (Maybe, if there is nothing interesting.?) [Undead] "Huh. You can be undead here?" [Undead] [Natural defense (Vitality stat) against necrotic and poison increased by 100% (Increase user defense against these elements.)] [Increase damage taken from holy and light elements by 100%] [Allows you live without breathing.] [Resistance to bleeding (Low). The effects of the bleeding type attacks and bleeding effect will be weaken and very weak poisons will bepletely nullified.] [Resistance to poison (Low). The effects of the poison type attacks and poison effect will be weaken and very weak poisons will bepletely nullified.] [Decrees performance of the light and holy elements and skills by 100% (Cannot fall below 1%).] [Decrees overall healing received from holy and light elements and skills by 50% (Can fall to 0% healing received.)] [Allows the body to be reattached more easily.] [Remove needs to eat. Are still able to eat food and use consumables that requires to be drinked or eaten. However, without need to eat, the stamina and health restoration from eating will be removed, unless the object eaten possess special stamina restoration property] [Skeleton] [Increase base vitality stat by 10%] [Decrees resource consumption (MP, SP, HP) by 5%. Doesn''t affect HP lost when getting hit or attacks that decreases user MP or SP.] [Zombie] [Possess MP, SP and HP regeneration 2.] [Sub race] [Chose one sub race belonging to any race. However, the effect of the race is only 50%] [Eating may boost your regeneration of resources (MP, SP, HP). The bonus can be increased up to 2 and will linger after some time after no longer eating.] (Only 2 options?)N?v(el)B\\jnn (Hm.) (Wait. Can undead use potions?) (I mean, in some games things like healing items are harmful to undeads, right?) "Em Is there anything like a help or something?" ["Hello."] "?!" "WTF!?" ["I''m costumers service A.I that was ced in order to assist the new yers regarding the character creation."] ["Costumer said "Help" and so I activated."] ["Is there anything you want to know? Or did you said HELP by ident?"] "" (Holy shit Is this really A.I? I mean They did said that the NPCs are like real people and all But that feels bit creepy. I think I will need some time to get used to it) "" "Em Actually, I''m wondering about undead." "Can undeads use things like potions and stuff?" ["Affirmative. Undeads are able to use potions."] ["However, some potions effects may not affect undead or be harmful, especially potions containing holy element."] "Em Then what about regr potions like healing and maybe other stuff?" ["It works."] "Both zombie and skeleton?" ["Yes."] (Huh So, if I were to pick undead I could make up for the healing debuff with potions?) (That does sound like good idea.) (However, the increased damage taken from holy and light elements by 100%? Not only that skill performance decrees and even healing received decrees that are rted to holy or light looks WAY too punishing.) (I mean, I do see a lot of benefits with being undead But these downsides are hitting very hard as well.) (Pretty much I won''t be able to y with party that has some healers or something, right? Well, I was nning on ying solo in the first ce, but the downsides are pretty much cutting down sses I can pick.) (However. This seem like an interesting race.) (Now. Skeleton or zombie?) "" "Question. How does the regeneration works? The 1 point of regeneration works like what?" ["It works every second. If the regeneration is 1, the yer will regain 1 point of resource every second."] (. Let''s go with zombie. The resource consumption honestly sound way better if you look at it and the vitality stat increase also sounds good.) (But there may be times where I need more healing and considering that I cannot heal or restore stamina by eating.) (The skeleton seem like better choice if I''m being honest, even for solo yer.) (Even if you were to go mage like me, you would still have some little bit of defense AND with the resource consumption decrees, you can use big attacks more easily, but I''m quiet curios about zombie.) (I mean, usually things like death knights or liches in games or novels are skeleton looking ones, right? So, ying as zombie maybe interesting and the bonus doesn''t bother me one bit.) (As for the sub race Hm... What the hell I want to go with?) (.) (Orcs, nope. Elves also nope... Wow.) (I guess the perfect option for me is human?) (But do I really and I mean, really want to go with them? I mean, they are straight up humans C Boring.) (Is there really nothing else that can fir the thing I''m aiming for?) "..." "Nope. Nothing fits...Hm..." (I really don''t want to pick humans, but it seems to be the only option I can really pick.) (Oh well, they are not my main race anyway, so I guess its fine.) [Human] [Every 5th level, obtain 1 extra ss point.] [No other weakness or bonuses.] [The effect is halved. Reason: Undead] [Effect are changed to: [Every 10th level, obtain 1 extra ss point.] "As for appearance." "Let''s keep is simple. I will set height on the 1.86 m since this is my real height. Short hair. No over muscr body, slime one will do. No scars or tattoos. Let''s not try to make too young or too old." "Dark green hair and bright green eyes. And done." "Next stats. Put a lot into mana and intelligent And rest equally between all other stats." "." [Starting equipment.] (Hm? Oh. Let''s go with that.) "" (Okay. This looks quite solid.) [Would you like to finish the character creation?] "Yeb." [Please write down your character name] "Let''s go with my usual nickname in games." [Phantasia] [Do you wish to continue with your current settings?] [Yes/No] "This will do." [Character creation process finished.] [You have chosen random starting area.] [You will be teleported to the random starting area ording to your choice.] [Oh, by the way, a heads up warning.] "?" [The first log in feels bit weird. So don''t be scared.] "???" As soon as the messenger appeared, the body of the man begin to change into data and lift towards the air. "Well then, let''s see what this game has to offer." A man vision started to disappear before going full nk and his bodypletely disappeared that ended up rming the man a bit. However, even though his body was no longer there, he could feel it and it started to feel Weird? As if he was swimming and flying for a moment, before momentster a sudden stiffens of his body appeared. While the man body was acting very weird, but suddenly a bright light emerged around him. The man then realized his body was repapering, but now in much different shape and form before then breaking apart once again. Momentter, the man could finial open his eyes once again and before he realized, he was already in some sort of settlement where he was surrounded by a lot of different people and a weird data particles that collided with each other before fusing together and creating new yers. [You have been transported to the beginner town Mim.] "" (Okay I think I''m in the game) (BUT WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ON THE START?!) (They could give up the warning before I logged in! Jezus! Was that a prank or something made by developers?!) "" The man quickly calmed himself down before then starting to look around. (This must be a starting area by the look of things. It''s packet like hell with people. Literally the game just release and this ce is already filled with people.) (?) (Huh. I though there would be a more Humans or something? I see humans But I also see dark elves, dwarfs and orcs?) (Oh right I''m undead So, it does make sense I will find myself in some starting area for the less "Human" starting areas. Or is because I just chosen random?) (The pop up winddown said this is beginner city Mim. I think this one of the ces mentioned on the websites. Honestly, I chose the random starting area since I didn''t know what to pick.) (Anyway, this ce looks interesting. It does gives nice fantasy like vibe.) C though the Phantasia while looking around. The man approached the fountyn near him and looked at his reflection. The man appearance looked that of a man in his 20 with dark green hair and bright green eyes. Beside his eyes and hair, his overall appearance was very average. However, his dead skin and unliving look obviously made him look non-human. (Huh. I really do look different. On top of that, feeling. I feel like I''m moving just like in real life.) The man tried doing different things, trying to test out different things. (Jumping. Pinching myself. All of it feels real. I heard it took years to make this game, but how many years are we speaking of? Honestly, I''m quiet curios right now.) (Honestly, I want to take a look around and all, but I don''t know where to begin.) "?" (People are gathering over there. What for?) Phantasia approached the to the spot where group of people was spotted and saw a notice board. "?" [Quest has been generated.] [Lil Blue Slime Hunt] [Rank: G] [Alright rookie! Time to show what you got! Go and hunt monsters called lil blue slime. You can find them in the west and south after leaving the town. You are able to sell any item drops you got from the monster to the NPCs.] [y 5 lil blue slimes.] [Reward: EXP] "Huh." "So, it''s like a starting quest." (I see some people are already running off and some people are looking around.) (Hm... Okay. I can look aroundter. Maybe it''s better idea to head straight toward the hunting grounds. I had once or twice problem with hunting in MMORPG games where everybody hunted in the same area, I had wait for the monster to respawn to finish a goddammed quest.) (I rather avoid doing that bullshit. So, I better make run for it.) Phantasia left the area and headed straight towards south in order who leave the town. ". Wow." (I wonder who designed this? This ce look straight out of another world. Well, I''m technically in another world.) (Or am I still in my world? This is virtual reality. My body is still in real world. But I my consciousness is here and I can even feel this body and all. Or I somehow splinted into two different people? How in bloody hell does that work?!) "Well, I would probably not understand really. This is stuff straight out of the novel and all." (Anyway, by the look of things I reached the exit already. I can see few people behind me and in front of me heading in the same direction. By the look of things, I wasn''t only one with this idea. Let''s just hope we won''t get in each other way.) Phantasia passed the city gate and when he did, he saw a grass field everywhere. (Wow. This looks nice. The grass. Smell like a grass and feels like a grass when touching it. The details in this world. Are way too good And bit scary in their own way?) "?" (I think I can see some trees far ahead? Maybe it''s a forest? Can''t say. Got to go bit closer.) (Anyway, I don''t see any monsters, even though I left the city. By any chance the area around the city is safe zone? Maybe if I walk bit further away from it, I will find some monsters to fight.) Phantasia begin walking thought the grass field, moving farther away from city gate. "I wonder how far I have to walk until I- " ''SQUISH'' (?) "What was that?" (My foot just bumped into something soft?) Phantasia looked down and saw a small ball of liquid with eyes. [Lil Blue Slime] C [Level 1] "Huh. It''s quite cute." (Its level 1 and it looks quite weak. By the look of things this is the monster I was supposed to find and kill.) "." ". Fuck me. It''s quite cute if you look at it. I kind of want to pet it." Suddenly, the slime begin to wiggle around before then jumping straight at the Phantasia. "Whoa!" Phantasia moved away, making the slime attack miss him. "Right. Kind of forgot it''s a monster." "Sorry little bud." Arion took out his crossbow and aimed with the crossbow at the slime before then firing it. The crossbow bolt flew and hit the slime dead on, right in the middle of the slime body. "Pi!" C the slime made noise when the bolt hit it. "Piiiii..." [You have in Lil Blue Slime C Level 1.] [You have received 2 EXP.] The moment the slime died, its corpse begin to emit particle like effect where parts of its body was being slowly turned into particles and after some time passed the entire monster corpse was gone. (Huh, so this is like a death animation in this game? The body slowly turns into particles and disappear.) "Anyway, something dropped on the ground." [Lil Blue Slime Goo] [Lil Blue Slime Core] (Item drops huh? It looks just like that slime, but way smaller and without eyes or anything. Can this thing be even used for anything?) [EXP: 2/10] (Huh. I almost leveled up. I guess I have to kill 4 more if I want to level up.) (Anyway, this feels quite nice. I can feel the crossbow and its weigh. Also firing it feels and seem very real. I can tell that using weapons will be interesting.) (However what about the magic?) Phantasia looked around and before long he found another slime monster nearby just jumping around in cutely way. "So ording to the tutorial menu I have to do this?" "[Poison Shot]." A magic circle suddenly appeared right in front of the man palm before momentter, a bullet made out of purple poison was fired at the slime, killing the monster instantly on the hit. [You have in Lil Blue Slime C Level 1.] "Huh It really worked?" (Not only that, that was a magic?) (I know this is the weakest magic, since it was from the level 1 [Beginner Poison Mage] ss, but still, it looked interesting?) (I got to hand this to the developers. If this is just the start, how much fun would I have as I start ying more and more of this game?!) Phantasia went around, hunting around any slimes he found and killed them before anybody else could get them before him. [You have in Lil Blue Slime C Level 1.] [You have in Lil Blue Slime C Level 1.] "Huh That really only took few moments." C said Phantasia while trying to catch a breath. (I guessing here before too many people got here was a good idea. But I can already see more peopleing out from the settlement.) (Anyway, only one more slime to go to level up and finish the quest.) Phantasia beginned looking around. "." "Ah! There." Phantasia aimed with his crossbow at the slime monster, however before he could shot a man run straight at the slime and shed it with his sword, killing it. "Hey, what was that for?" C said Phantasia. "Hm? What do you mean?" C asked the man with the sword. "I was about to shoot it. What the hell man?" "Oh, I''m sorry, I didn''t know." "" "!" Phantasia spotted another slime near him and tried aiming with his crossbow, but the man wielding sword jumped in again and stole the kill. "." "Ah! Sorry mate!" C said the sword wielding yer. "" Phantasia didn''t responded to the man and looked around for another slime. Afte few seconds he manage to find the slime and aimed with his crossbow at the slime however the on the swordman face a smirk appears before then for the third time the swordman jumped in and killed the slime. "" "Em Well- " Before the sword wielding yer could say anything, the man got hit right in the head with the crossbow bolt. "?!" "What the fuck?!" C shouted the man with the sword. "Huh Even though I hit you in the head, you didn''t died? I guess those beginner weapons really suck ass and can only kill the slimes?" C said Phantasia to himself. "?!" "The fuck- " "[Poison Shot]." Phantasia didn''t showed any mercy and fired the poison projectile at the man, hitting the man before he realized. After getting hit in the face, the man ended up getting on his knees while having a confused look on his face The man stared in disbelief as Phantasia was not even showing any remorse or anything and was just staring up trying to kill him. The man tried to get up, but Phantasia didn''t showed any mercy and just kicked the man right in the face, knocking himpletely on the ground. "Fuck! You motherfucker!" The man tried to get up, but as soon as he did, he saw the Phantasia holding the reloaded crossbow that was being pointed right at him. "" Phantasia pulled the trigger, fired the crossbow bolt at point nk range that ended up hitting the man right in the eye, killing the yer.

Well Nobody. But I were to say. I''m somebody who is tried and bored. I like games like anybody. Be it an RPG or an TGG. But honestly, I don''t get 1 thing about the games. Why is always "Good" ending? I mean, why you always needs to be a good person in games? True. There are games that lets you be a bad person or let you have the "Worst" ending, but honestly speaking most of the games are about being "Good Person". I''m bored. Same plot over and over So, I tried being a viin in for the change. And honestly, I liked it? I was PK (yer Killer) in games and killed innocent yers online and it was fun. I chose the worst possible ending because I wanted to see what "Evil" I can do. I was trolling other yers online and just being toxic. Honestly, it was fun and I mean. Like a solid change I didn''t knew that being a bad guy can be fun? It was very weird feeling.. However, in the end you will be forced to be a good person in the games. And this is really annoying. But. What about the game that doesn''t have anything like a story you have to y against your will? A game where you write the story? "." (HAHAHAHAHAHA!) (This is way too much!) ("The freedom of choice" huh developers?!) (I''M GLAD!) (I''M SO GLAD!) (The game where you can really have any choice AND where you can do what ever you want to do!) (SCREW THIS BULLSHIT!)

After distributing my stats I started hunting like a regr yer. Honestly, I got to say, I''m doing quiet bit better at hunting. The monsters were still well... Weaklings so it was quite hard to see a difference, but in terms of hunting speed I was bit faster than other yers. Well, honestly, I could have probably hunted bit faster IF I didn''t picked alchemist ss, but it was worth. However.

I only have 6 skills from the [Poison Mage] and only 2 from [Alchemist]. Honestly, I want to get my [Poison Mage] to level 100 ASAP, but I really want to try alchemy. Current my Alchemy is pretty much on lock, meaning I cannot increase its level any further unless I increase my [Alchemy] skill. Well How does alchemy work in this world anyway? I mean This is a world of sword and magic, so Do I need to use some "Magical" ingredients or something? How would I find anything- "?" "Oh. A weird nt?" C said Phantasia before getting on his knees. [Mana Grass] [Rarity: Common] [Basic Ingredients used for alchemy that anybody can use. The nt grass that mutated after being exposed to mana, but the nt itself doesn''t possess much mana itself. It''s just some grass that grown bitrger that has barely any mana.] "" "Huh. Em Okay?" C said the man before plucking out the weird nt from the ground. "" (Oh wait. I have those slimes things. Can I use them for alchemy as well?) (Hm I managed to get to the level 4. Maybe let''s stop for the moment and instead look around for some stuff that can be used for alchemy?) (Honestly, the only monsters here are slimes and monsters called [Grass Field Furball] that it''s just straight up ball of fur with 2 teeth.) () (Should I go to that forest?) (I think its more dangerous area and all, considering that the monster we yers are finding here are between level 1-4, but. I got 80 stat points from get go, meaning I have stats of the level 12 yer.) (Hm My equipment is still shit.) () (Fuck it.) (I maybe able to level up bit faster if I go there and there maybe other stuff beside that weird grass or maybe I will find more of that grass nt. Honestly, I''m looking around, but I can''t spot any of those nts anywhere? Maybe they have low chance of spawning in low level areas?) (Well, either way, going to that forest may have some benefits I need.) Phantasia began heading straight to the forest that was located right next to the grass field and before long, he managed to sessfully arrive at the forest. "" (Okay. I wasn''t expecting that?) (I mean it did looked bit creepy from distance But now that I''m inside. Dark green grass Creepy treesThis kind of look like haunted forest?) (Will something like ghost or undead pops up?) () (Wait I''m undead myself So how would that work? Would they attack me or-) "?" "Oh. Another mana grass." "Oh! Another one!" (Huh. In the grass field I barely saw any mana grass, but now I''m finding them more easily? Maybe I was right that it spawn more often in higher level areas?) () (But how useful is this thing anyway? It has description:N?v(el)B\\jnn [A very basic andmon ingredients used for alchemy that literally anybody can use, even without alchemist ss.] (So does that mean its straight at the very bottom of the alchemy ingredients?) C though Phantasia while plucking out the mana grass left and right and putting them in his inventory. (Well, I''m notining. I mean, I do want to use alchemy, but I literally didn''t used alchemy one bit ever since I got here. But I''m also getting more curios about it right now.) "Ah!!!!" "?!" (What was that?! Did somebody screamed?) (Wait! There are others yers beside me here?!) () (Lets go and check it out.) C though Phantasia while reloading his crossbow. Chapter 3 – Forest. Phantasia ran through the forest and before long, he managed to find a source of the scream. "Fuck! I told you it was bad idea!" C said an orc yer. "SHUT UP!" C shouted a goblin yer. "How the fuck I was supposed to knew that the monsters here are on the whole another levelpare to the furballs and slimes?! What kind of power gab is this!" The 3 yers, no. There was 4 yers in the area, however one of them were already killed, making the yers were surrounded by the group of wolf monsters. [Wild Wolf C Level 5] [Wild Wolf C Level 6] [Wild Wolf C Level 5] [Wild Wolf C Level 7] "" (Huh Did they got unlucky and run into the group of monsters?) (.) Phantasia revealed himself to the yers. "?!" "H-hey! You over there! Help us!" C said a goblin yer. "" "Before I do anything, I have a question." "!?" "The fuck you- " "!?" The goblin yer had to quickly block the attack with his sword. "Shit!" "Question. What are your levels?" "!?" "Its 3! We are level 3! Now can you help us?!" "Nah. I will just watch." "?!" "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Phantasia observed in unbothered the fight between the wolfs and yers while the yers were getting killed one by one by wolfs. (Sheesh. Those son of a bitch''s developers.) (The first two monsters we fought were nothing more than weaklings, but these wolfs are clearly stronger.) (I think I get the picture.) (These guys thought that the monsters here would also be weak, since the slimes and that you could kill them just be kicking them. But these wolfs seem to be a real enemy.) (I guess these bastards made slimes and furball an tutorial monster so the yers can get used to fighting and other stuff? That does make sense.) (But couldn''t they at least warn that forest. Oh wait There may be a quest in the city regarding them and may warn you. Shit) () (Well, good thing that these idiots were the first victims.) () (Should I kill them for free EXP?) () (Nah. It''s still bad idea to increase my [Notoriety] too early on.) (But anyway, these guys sucks at fighting.) (Well, I''m not expecting.) (I mean, the reason why I picked crossbow was because I didn''t knew how to fight.) (Honestly I would be surprised if there would some sort of main protagonist bullshit person that can fighting way too well from get go.) Phantasia just watched as the wolfs finished off the over confided yers one by one until thest yer was killed. Immediately after thest yer was killed, Phantasia shot with his crossbow, hitting and provoking the wolfs. The wolfs immediately began instantly running towards the Phantasia. "[Poison Smoke]!" Phantasia releases a smoke of poison in front of him, blocking the view of the wolfs and poisoning them as well. (I honestly only wanted the poison mage because I was interested in poison.) (But that ss is dirtier than I thought!) (Even a bastard like me without any realbat experience can y dirty with ease!) "" Phantasia quickly run back, but before long the wolfs made their way through the poison smoke. "[Poison Blow]!" Phantasia fired an arrow of the poison smoke that flew straight at the wolf that was running at him. The arrow hit the wolf head one and then spread the smoke everywhere. [Wild Wolf has been slowed.] The wolf continue running at the Phantasia while he continues firing nonstop with his spells. The fight continues for some time, but after some time the wolfs finally sumbed to the poison and died. [You have leveled up.] "Fuck That was way harder than I thought!" (Deals some damage, but it takes time.) (Not only that, I didn''t had any time to reload the crossbow because of these fuking wolfs rushing at me nonstop!) (I thought that my starting equipment and sses were goodbination But now I see several problems Fuck) (I didn''t expected to run into big problem from get go Honestly, I barely won against those wolfs and even lost some HP. I thought I would I don''t know Won this easily?) (Well, I guess I was also over confident idiot like them, even with my titles.) (I guess I cannot just take easy path out. By the look of things, I will have to learn how to fight. (But still, the current situation is bad.) (The poison does have debuff and damage over time, it takes time AND I have limited amount of mana.) (The crossbow is useful But it takes time to reload. Should I switch to the bow?) (Nah. It would take time to learn how to use it What I need is something like a closebat weapon) (But again, I don''t know how to fight I guess I need more experience in fighting in this weird world as well as some training Since even idiot can call me an "NOOB" right now.) (But do I really need to learn how to use close range weapon? But how long it takes to learn how to handle weapon anyway?) (Hm) (!) (Oh wait!) [Summoner] [Tamer] [Necromancer] (I saw these two sses before!) (Since I n to y solo anyway and probably won''t have any friends, I think it would be a good idea.) (But what should I pick?) [Summoner] (Common) [The summoner ss is the most basic summoner ss that focuses on basic. Possess a high affinity with a lot of different sses, opening many different other sses.] [Tamer] (Common) [A ss that specializes in taming monsters and working with them. Upon acquiring obtain extra stat [Taming Mastery].] [Necromancer] (Common) [A ss that specializes in controlling and creating undeads. Upon acquiring obtain extra stat [Necromancy Mastery].] (Hm What should I pick?) (Fuck This is bit hard decision.) (Not only that, I don''t want to carelessly spend ss points so early on like total idiot.) (Fuck me If I knew that I would have that kind of problems with my build, I wouldn''t have spend it all on poison mage.) () (Fuck me What should I chose?!) [Summoner] C [Max level 25] C [Cost: 2] [Tamer] C [Max level 25] C [Cost: 3] [Necromancer] C [Max level 100] C [Cost: 2] (Hm The summoner and the tamer has lower max level. But the necromancer has max level 100 and cost 2.) (If I pick a tamer or necromancer, I will gain extra stat, right? Does that mean I have to increase them if I want to control the undeads or tamed monsters?) (. There are side effects, huh? I would be forced to split my points I get into 1 extra stat. But I don''t know how other stats would be useful for meI would definitely need mana and intelligent for my magic) (FUCK ME!) (This is way harder than I thought to decide!) () (Wait, what would happened if I picked all 3?) (I mean, wouldn''t having many monsters on my side be a good idea?) (Hm That does sound good in theory But the problem is the cost.) (Right now, I have 15 ss points.) (Should I just screw it and learn all 3 anyway and see with one is most effective? Or maybe I should wait a bit and have yers a look and then pick one?) () (FUCK IT!) (I''m learning all 3!) (I may waste my points, but I need to find out if any of them are good! I will use all of my points from get go and try to get as many skills as possible!) [You have spent 15 ss points.] [You have acquired [Tamer] Level 3/25] [You have acquired [Summoner] Level 2/25] [You have acquired [Necromancer] Level 2/100] "I maybe an idiot or not! But I need to find out what I can do!" [Summon: Skeleton Servant] [Summon a monster called "Skeleton Servant". A humanoid monster that will do anything youmand.] [The number of the skeleton servants you can control depends on the skill level.] [Undead requires [Necromancy Mastery] to control. Stronger undeads require more points.] [Tame] [Tame a monster.] [Uses [Taming Mastery] to control the monster. More monsters and stronger monsters you have, the higher the cost consume [Summon: Soldier] [Summon monster called "Summoned Soldier" that will follow yourmands.] [Soldier have time limit and if you don''t cancel them after the time limit, they will start consuming your MP.] [Taming Mastery] [Extra stat used to control monsters that you have tamed.] [The tamed mastery starts with 10 points and get 2 points per your character level.] [Each point of the [Taming Mastery] provide a 5 points counter that is used for controlling the tamed monsters.] [Necromancy Mastery] [Extra stat used to control undead monsters you have created.] [The necromancy mastery starts with 10 points and get 2 points per your character level.] [Each point of the [Necromancy Mastery] provide a 5 points counter that is used for controlling the undead monsters.] (Honestly, the reason why I learned them was because I didn''t wanted to wait.) (I mean, I literally have a nasty advantage against other yers and I don''t want to waste any moment of it while I can.) (Well then, let''s get going!) To deal with my biggest problem, I decided to learn [Tamer], [Summoner] and [Necromancer] sses. I put some points I had didn''t used before into the [Taming Mastery] and [Necro Mastery]. It wasn''t much, but it''s better than nothing. Anyway, I started off with necromancy. At first, I thought I would get and skill that would make me use corpse to create zombie or skeletons, but nope? Instead, I got a summoning skill? I though there was no problem at all But when I summoned the skeleton, I found out that these things are. Weak like hell! I wasn''t Expecting that? I mean, I know that my [Necromancer] is still low level, but it got destroyed too easily! I''m also still low level as well, so it shouldn''t be that weak at least! Fuck me Are the low level [Necromancer]plete garbage by any chance? Well The next thing was the taming. With the taming it kind of depends by the look of things. Depending how you overpower the enemy or how much HP they have left, you can more easily tame monster. And by the look of things, if I weaken the enemy with my poisons, it makes taming them bit easier? Huh. A nice surprise. Anyway, I managed to tame one of those wolfs and it used every single points I had The wolf I tamed was level 4. It was. Well, it was just a normal wolf. Like it wasn''t stronger or weaker, it was same like the other wolfs. The summoner was next. The summoned monster It was a bit stronger than skeleton, but it has time limit. I can keep the monster summoned for longer if I use my own mana and depending on the level of the skill, the number of the summoned soldiers I can have increase as well as their base time limit and their stats. And that is that. The necromancer It sucks ass if I''m being honest right now I don''t know Does it really need to level up a lot to make it useful? There is also the case with the [Necromancy Mastery] stat, so ss points alone. For now, I guess I will not focus on the necromancy, UNLESS I get a lot of stat points like from title or something. The tamer isn''t bad, but it needs also points, both ss and stat points. I also need to find a strong monster to tame and the tamed wolf took some of the EXP. The wolf does make the hunting bit easier, so splitting EXP wasn''t that bad. The summoner Well, if I''m being honest, I think I''m the most satisfied with it. Between all 3 sses, the summoner has the best performance But its poetical? I don''t know. The tamer and the necromancer may have some more poetical But I don''t know. Considering that the tamer has a low max level maybe mean that they have ess to the different sses at max level. I maybe fucked up? Considering the results I may have really fucked up and literally maybe I should have waited I would probably discovered it if I waited a day or two Well, what done is done. Honestly, the only things that interesting me are the tamer and the summoner. The necromancer I need bit more info before deciding to level it up or not. I need monsters for me to fight at the front lines while I use my crossbow and poison from the distance. So, I don''t think spending my ss points on those sses were mistake? If necessary, I won''t mind putting my points into 5 different sses. But it will definitely slow down the leveling up of my other ssesBut still, I may need to do that if I want to have some body acting like my meat shield. Anyway, the monsters under mymand were weak, but they did gave me some time to attack like asshole without a care. I was able to hunt more easily AND even leveled up few times. Well, I did had to sometimes avoid some bigger groups of enemies, since I may not end uping out. But overall, after hunting a bit, I think it was good decision to spent those ss points Well, I don''t know if those sses would work for me for the long run, but still, I managed to level up a lot AND I also managed to secure a lot of different stuff that I think I can use for alchemy? Speaking of alchemy. I think its time for me to use it. And I''m running out of all the MP, HP and SP I''m straight up walking corpse right now. Wait. I''m a corpse. Em You get the point. Anyway, I managed to quickly get myself back to the city without any problems appearing on the way. Honestly I was expecting some trouble But nothing? Huh I thought I would been in some trouble since I killed a yer, but nothing? Maybe they need to catch me red handed or I have to have a lot of [Notoriety]? Either way, I think I was safe For now. (Anyway, I guess I should take a look around.) (Oh right! Maybe that board I saw at the spawn have some quest or something!) Phantasia began heading back to the spawn area. (?!) (Wtf?!) (There is still a lot of yers here?) (No wait! They are logging in!) () (Wow I saw a lot of yers in the grass field killing monsters And this is just one of the starting locations Just how yers are ying this game?!) () "Excuse. Coming through." C said Phantasia while trying to walk past the yers. "!" (Okay What do we have here...) C though Phantasia after finally getting back to the board. "?" [Gregory the coat maker wants some wild wolf pelts.] (Oh! A quest regarding material gathering? And I have enough wolf pelts as well!) After epting the quest I managed to quickly located the shop that was issuing the quest.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Honestly, Ipleted the quest and managed to get some money AND I could sell the other wolf pelts I got and secure some more money. (Huh. Maybe I should buy new equipment? My beginner armor and weapon were bitten a lot by the wolfs And I also need some more bolts for the crossbow.) (But first some alchemy.) "Excuse me." "Hm? Yes?" C asked the clothes shop owner. "I''m alchemist in training and I''m wondering something, where can I- " "Public workshop." "Excuse me?" "Public workshop." "It''s a ce for new cksmiths, alchemist and other guys that try to start learning production art." "You have to pay for everything and you also need materials." "If you go out and head right, you will see a building with a symbol of googles and hammer." "" "Oh Thanks?" (Huh I wasn''t. Expecting this?) () (Wait It''s kind of does make sense in the way?) (I mean You need tools and other stuff if you need to craft, right?) (Huh The developers were kind of though of putting something like that. I wasn''t expecting them to do something like that?) (Still, that NPC I wasn''t expecting him to figure out my motive?) (I mean, I did talked with some A.I support when I was making my character, but this? I felt like I was talking with the real person just now. Or are they real people in this "World"?) () (It said that the NPCs don''t respawn after death.) (So I wonder) (What would happened if I murder him and made people unable toplete their quest?) () (Its very tempting to murder him right now But I doubt that I would go unscratched INSDE the city.) (Not now.) (But maybe in the future.) I WILL SET THIS ENTIRE PLACE ON FIRE. (I wonder... What would happened to the people here if ALL the NPCs in this ce died?!) () (Well, right now I''m just powerless nobody, so I doubt I will be able to anything right now.) (But maybe in the future, I will bring a total chaos to this ce.) Chapter 4 – Production class. [At the public workshop.] "Huh." (THERE IS NOBODY HERE!) (Like, literally, only the staff is here!) (Is Nobody interested in crafting or something?) () (Well... I can''t me them.) (After fighting a bit and using magic, I was literally charmed by it. It was way more fun than I though.) (But I at least though there would be at least 10 people here or something, SINCE I FUKING SAW THE HORDE OF PLAYERS!) () (Oh wait) (Right. I''m idiot.) (You need money to use this ce and have materials.) (If you look at it, people are probably gathering materials or something and doing some quest to get money.) (So it DOES make sense that there is nobody here right now.) (Well I''m notining?) (.) (Well then, let''s get to the work already.) Phantasia began taking out items from his inventory before putting them on his table. [Mana Grass] [Basic Ingredients used for alchemy that anybody can use.

Pretty much, I went around, hunting monsters and gathering materials. The monsters Well, it was obvious that leveling up speed would be bit slowed down, since I was no longer the only person in the forest, but as for the materials, it wasn''t necessary that bad. I saw some people gathering materials like me, but not like there was a lot of yers. I guess yers in this city doesn''t care much about the production sses and focused more onbat This isn''t surprising one bit. Well, I have the materials for the alchemy, but the problem still stood with money. I need to buy bronze ingots if I want to continue training my cksmithing skills. I have an option to simple just focus on alchemy for now, make potions and sell it to the adventures But that would make some problems and big one at that. With some many yers here, it would make hunting around here much more. I need not only materials from the wild BUT I also need things from monsters. And by the look of things, hunting does give right now more exp. I did noticed that I got bit more exp when I made some better stuff, but nothing much. So, the best way to level up right now is to hunt. Honestly, I cannot craft or train right now with the current circumstance. I mean I''m d that the game is popr and all, BUT FOR FUCK''S SAKE! Isn''t this too many people from get go!? For fuck''s sake. Well, I do need to stock up materials if I want to lock myself in the private workshop and all in order to train So, it''s not really that bad that I cannot experiment and train, since I would have been forced to hunt either way. Pretty much, the entire day was about hunting and gathering stuff. Ipleted some side quests like find lost cat or deliver stuff, it wasn''t anything interesting or good, but at least pay was good.

(Anyway, I guess I should head to deeper into the forest.) (There are probably some yers on their way here, but definitely not as crowded as parts of the forest near the grass field.)

() (Anyway, hunting is bit noticeable bit harder than before.) (But I''m leveling up at good pace, but not good enough.) (I guess I need to level up my poison mage and the monster using sses.) (It would be also great if I had some better equipment than this if possible, but I don''t have time to make my own equipment right now, so that leaves only buying equipment from the NPCs) () (Fuck I really need a lot of money if I want to continue my alchemy and cksmithing research and training, but I also need materials from hunting monsters.)

After walking for some time, Phantasia path was blocked by the tree standing directly in his way. HOWEVER! The tree had a same ink covered grass in the [ ) ] shape. (I was right! It was intentional!)

And even higher level monsters suddenly appearing!) (The developers definitely put something hidden in here!) (Hm Did they put things like this in each starting locations or something?) (But then, is it the "Firste, first served" thing?) (Then I''m lucky.) (The inky spot was hard to notice at first since the grass is dark green and the inky spot isn''t that big in the first ce, so unless you pay attention to it, you won''t notice it.) (And I think that broken ink bottle was to make it look like an some random trash that just got broken by ident.) (Whoever came up with this idea must been big brain.) (I wonder if there are other puzzles or secrets like that in game?) Suddenly an giant rabbit monster rushed towards the Phantasia, forcing the man to quickly jump to the right. (SHIT!) (He almost got me!) [Big Evil Rabbit C Level 16] "Oh, fuck off!" [Phantasia C Level 13] The rabbit monster rushed at the Phantasies again, but the man quickly deployed poison, blocking the rabbit vision before then running away and having the charging rabbit hit the tree. (Fuck me!) (Those fuckers are the same like those rabbits from before, but they are much stronger in many different ways!) Phantasia quickly aimed with its crossbow and fired at the rabbit. It hit the rabbit in the head, but it was still alive. And now it was even more bloodthirsty. () (WHO THE FUCK DESIGNED THEM LIKE THIS?!) The giant rabbit monster charged at the Phantasia. The man tried dodging again, but he wasn''t able to dodge in time and his left leg ended up being rammed, dealing damage and making him lose bnce before falling to the ground. The rabbit stopped in tracs after managing knock down Phantasia before the running towards Phantasia. "!" "[Poison Blow]!" Phantasia fired a poison smoke arrow at the monster, hitting it and hindering its vision. Phantasia quickly rolled to the side, dodging the rabbit attack and making it head butt the ground. After sessfully dodging the attack, Phantasia took out two daggers and began stabbing the rabbit over and over until it died. [Level up.] "FUCK!" (They do give a lot of fuking EXP, but they are hard opponents! Even when it was lower level ones, they can still hit like a truck!) (I couldn''t even bring out my monsters since it was alreadying after me!) (Well I think it was good idea to buy a dagger. I still have my failure dagger, but at least I have melee weapons in case of emergency.) (Those bastards do give a lot of EXP and have nice loot, but they are tough son of bitches!) (Anyway, if more of these bastards start showing up, I will be in trouble.) (The further I fallow this path, the more dangerous it bes.) (But I can tell that whatever is at the end will be worth it!) (Now where was thatst marked tree?) I began fallowing the path marked by the grass and trees. I already noticed, but I''m moving further away from the hunting grounds, but I sometimes end up encountering some stronger monsters. The higher level evil rabbit or one of those big evil rabbits. "" (Wait What if I just Put all of my points into the [Tamer] and the [Taming Mastery] stat and tame those big evil rabbits?) () (Huh That would make things much easier.) So, I did like I nned and spend all the ss points and the stat points that I didn''t used and ended up trying to tame those rabbit bastard. And I got to say. THEY ARE ANNOYING! Even by weaking them with poison and stuff, they were still hard to tame without killing them. Well, I did managed to tame them in the end. I tamed precisely 3 of them. They were tough bastards, but I did it! But not only that, but I also got new title. [Newbie Tamer] [Title Rank: E] [A title given to the tamer that has tamed at least 5 creatures.] [Effect] [Increase [Taming Mastery] stat by 20 points.] Huh. I wasn''t expecting that, but okay. Well, those damn big rabbit do eat a lot [Taming Mastery], but they are worth it. Thanks to those rabbits I''m also hunting way easier! They can act like tanks or beat up the weaken enemies while I put my debuffs or wear off the enemies so the poison can finish them off. Huh. Things suddenly Became much easier? I mean I did used all of my saved points, both the ss points and stat points and I even used points from the leveling up I just had as well But I think it was worth it. I may share the EXP with those monsters, but thanks to them, I''m getting a lot of EXP. Not only that, but because of the danger of the path was increasing, I was getting a lot of EXP. I did get rid off the small evil rabbit and wild wolf, but with those 3 rabbits, I''m able to face tough opponents and level. I think I will not get rid of them afterwords, since they seem quite strong. Anyway, how long is this path? I was walking ording to the markings, but sometimes I did 4 right turns. Not only that, the small evil rabbits are no longer appearing. There is also the fact that I walked for quiet long time already and was hunting those big rabbits a lot. I think good few hours had already passed. Even my new equipment durability had dropped by a lot. My left arm got even ripped off and that scared the living hell out of me! Until I remember that my race trait allows me to reattach limbs more easily So, I picked my arm, drinked potion and it was fine? My arm was in ce? Huh. My race benefits came in handy. Wait What would happened if I wasn''t undead? How would that work? Anyway, let''s not talk about this for now. Well, the difficulty may have increase by a lot, to the point I almost died few times, but the risk was worth it. [Level 18] My level got increased by a lot. "High risk, High reward" by the look of things. You get more EXP from hunting the higher level monsters AND its also influenced by how strong the monster is. For example, the same level big evil rabbit and the small evil rabbit. The big evil rabbit will give you more EXP, even though both monsters are the same level. Anyway, I continue using the marked path. "" (Left. Right. Forward.?) () (Weird No monsters?) (About now I should have run into something.) (I''m still taking correct path and I was making sure?)

But where do I climb this thing from? Is there like a path or do I need some climbing equipment to climb it?) () (No wait Wouldn''t then be any makings here or something?) (Is there any symbols that will point me upwards or something?) (!) (No wait!) (Maybe it''s like before?)

Maybe I got that one with left and right mixed up? I wasn''t paying much attention back then because I got jump scared and ganged up by those rabbits. Should I go back and make sure? I honestly wasn''t paying much attention at all in with way the trees went, since I was more focused on surviving against those giant evil bunnies!) (Fuck If I knew I would have written them down or something Well I have good memories. So maybe it will do?.... Please do. I don''t want to start from the start. I already used a lot of potions and even after leveling up, those rabbits can still pack a punch Please for the love of god my memories, don''t fuck me right now!) "" "Lets Quickly write them on the ground." Phantasia took a random stick on the ground and began writing arrows on the ground ording to the directions he remembered.

There was no reaction what so ever.) (What about where I found that ink bottle?... Nah. Somebody could have kicked or something. It''s definitely not the start.)

I did had to go in opposite directions where the bows where pointing. Maybe Since this ce seem to something rted to those arrows.) (So, if this ce is starting zone. Then.)

Suddenly, next to the Phantasia, the part of the stone wall retracted behind before then splitting in two like a door. "!" "Holy shit! I''m a god of memories and puzzle!"

Phantasia pressed the switch and momentster, the door closed, returning to its previous form. (Oh. So, you can close it from. Wait a second. Why is it bright? I didn''t seen any torches or anything inside in this tunnel.) Phantasia looked behind him and saw the blue most emitting some light. "" "Huh. That exin the weird moss." "Its some sort of light source?" [Dark Cave Moss] [Rarity: Common] [A special moss that can be found in very deep and dark caves with their own ecosystems. Emits faint light when exposed to the total darkness. Contains bit of mana and is edible.] (Huh. Its edible? No wait, it contains mana?) (Some of the ingredients I used did contained mana, so by any chance this thing can be used both for cooking and alchemy?) (I may collect some of itter on.) (Well, at least there is some light source inside this ce and I don''t have to worry about leaving the exit opened.) (Still Is anybody living in here?) (There is dust on the ground.) (There would be some spots then on the ground. But nothing Is there nobody alive?) (But the markings and that ink bottle were definitely manmade doing.) (There is a chance that this is some sort of dungeon from games where you can encounter monsters and bosses. I should be ready for something randomly popping out and attacking me.) "Lets go. Take up the front." The Phantasia and his monsters began moving traveling through the hidden passage while keeping his guard up. He walked and walked until he reached the end of the path. After reaching the end of the path, he found himself in therge underground space with some sort of old house in the middle and some sort of farm near. "?" (Home?) (Is that somebody home?) (It looks old and ruined, as if it wasn''t attended for years. The same goes to the field. I can see it all the way from here its shitty state.) (Still, no enemies?) (I thought I would run into something like monster by now But nothing?) (Was the puzzle the only thing? Well, I did ended up somehow encountering a lot of monsters, even monsters I didn''t fought with before and some high level monsters. So, it wasn''t exactly only puzzle and I almost died few times or I had to hide like a coward or would have literally died on the spot, so yea I almost even shitted myself when that group of giant bunnies appeared and almost found me, that would have been literally instant death.) (So yea. Beside the puzzle it wasn''t exactly "EASY" path to walk through and I got fucked many times over.) (Honestly, I think literally making a boss battle at the end would be kind of overkill in more than one way, since considering that the difficulty of the path wasn''t exactly easy.) (Anyway, this house is the thing that stand out the most. Is the "Tresure" located in there?) Phantasia approached the house carefully and quickly opens its door while pointing with his crossbow. "" (Huh Still nothing?) (I thought I would get "Surprise motherfucker! Boos fight!" jump scare But nothing?) (Anyway. This doesn''t seem to be normal house.!) (Wait a second. Those are alchemy tools I saw in the public workshop!) (?) In the middle of the room, an old skeleton wearing old clothes wasying on the floor. (Is he house owner?) "" ''POKE'' ''POKE'' "" (I guess he isn''ting back to live and attack me. For now?) () (I''m watching you!) "" (Anyway By the look of things this ce seem like an old house that seemed to be wrecked inside? Did somebody broke in?) (But it doesn''t kind of look like that?) () (Lets take a look around.) "" "Alchemy tools. tes, broken tes, oh a wine bottle And still intact." "Some old and torn clothes Correction. Completely destroyed." "Is there?" (What is it?) (A book?) (Did it belonged to this guy?) (.) C Phantasia picked up the book and opened it. () () (Huh This seems to be a diary? Did it belonged to this guy?) Year 1283 July 23 My name is August Davone Von Darum. I''m a half dark elf and I''m the noble of the Emberion kingdom. Well, I was noble. My nobility was revoked and I was deemed as criminal by that incopeted king. It all started few months ago. I was a researcher and the part of the Rose tower. Rose tower is an organization of mages and alchemist that focuses on researching things and improving our kingdom. I was one of the high ranking researchers that was in charge of developing a special magical equipment for the alchemists. Few months ago, an election of the new Rose tower leader hase. Honestly, I was one of the most favorable candidates to be the new head. I may not be the strongest when ites to the magic, but I was the one who made the biggest contribution to the tower in recent years. Honestly, my position as the next head was secured. However, This guy appeared? His name is Darrius Deliony. This guy was a research at the tower like me, but He wasn''t anything like big shot or anything. If anything, he was just random nobody. Not only that, he joined the tower only recently as well when I looked. But. I don''t know why but the talks about him bing the new head became rumors through the entire tower. I didn''t understand what was going on. How did that nobody was suddenly center of attention? He didn''t made any huge contributions or anything. I even looked and all other stuff, but nothing. He literally did nothing. Something was off about the situation, is that guy doing? But That wasn''t the only problem My mind I started forgetting things? Honestly people do forget stuff and all, but me? I can recall the things that even happened in my childhood perfectly! My memories are perfect! True I maybe not the youngest person, but there is no way that my perfect memories would suddenly start having troubles. Not only that, but there was some sort of ident in the tower recently. One of my colleges had an idently with his invention and ended up getting killed by explosion. But He was in charge of magical circles! He wasn''t in charge of alchemy tools or even spells that are anything about being weapons! Literally, he wasn''t dealing with anything remotely dangerous that can kill anything, even a rat. He did sometimes experimented with some more dangerous magical circles in the past, but not dangerous enough to be lethal to him in case of ident. Not only, this time he was experimenting with something not rted tobat or anything that can be used as a weapon. Even if his magic circle malfunctioned, there is no way it could have enough force or anything to kill him. Literally, 0%. Something was off. It wasn''t the only thing that catched my attention. He was also the candidate for the head of the tower. But that wasn''t the end. The second worker and my rival was female human. I didn''t liked her But she was talented, I got to give it to her. She was extremely talented and I thought she would be my rival when ites to the tower head position But she also had unknown ident suddenly out of nowhere. She just died like that! And the exnation for her death was also shitty! Just like thest guy who died! Is somebody covering up the ident? Something was wrong. The people of the tower were dying, but there wasn''t much talk about it? Instead, there were only praises for the new guy who literally barely did anything in recent times?! He only made some basic things that even newbie alchemist can make! There is no mistaking it, he was doing something. And I was also targeted. I realized that my weird missing memories was his doing Honestly, I didn''t even knew who to trust in the tower as well. The previous generation of the tower leaders were greedy fools, so it would make sense if they were supporting that guy behind the scenes. Something was going on inside the tower, something weird and malicious. I tried talking with the guards and the higher ups of the tower that I knew were not corrupted and were also a well know people, meaning that they may be able to do something. But instead, they beat me up and then I was captured and imprisoned for apparentlymitting murder. I don''t know what was going on! They beat me up, even tortured me. Tried to make me confess to the murder of tower head candidates, but it wasn''t me. They said that they found the evidence in my room, but I didn''t do it! Not only that, the tower itself stated that the idents were because of the faulty equipment. And now they are saying it was my doing?! I denied everything, but they kept me locked up illegal underground without any REAL evidence or anything. They didn''t even told me what evidence they found. It was clear to me. They wanted to kill me. They wanted to make me appear like the real culprit and then get rid of me since I maybe be on something. I''ve made the preparation and escaped from the tower. However, the moment I barely managed to escaped, there were already wanted posters after me, as if they were waiting for me to escape They let me escape so they could put the me on me! Not only that, but that nobody was also dered the new head few dayster after I escaped! It was all nned! But why?! Why me?! Why they killed... They didn''t killed me because they needed a sacrifice to take all the me. I got yed. But still, WHO was that guy?! When I looked into him before, I didn''t found anything. But what if there wasn''t anything to begin with? I know he only became the member of the tower recently and all, but there was no contribution or anything like achievement or anything! He was straight up nobody! Or was he?! Is he hiding his real identity? But the tower wouldn''t trust somebody like him! But the entire tower was acting weird. Were they somehow control?! They were acting bit crazy, all of them. Should I report to the royal family? No. The Rose tower and the royalties have strong connection, they wouldn''t listen to me and they may insteady ambush on me. My nobility status was already revoke and that would mean that tower had already made something behind the back. But It wasn''t the worst part. My memories They were falling apart. Something was wrong! I was forgetting things! It was their doing. I knew that was their doing for 100%! But what they did to me in the first ce and when?! No. It''s not important now. What I know is that their aim with that weird memory loss is to make sure of one thing: They want to make sure I don''t run my mouth. They want me to forget everything so no witnesses would be left. This is bad. It wasn''t as bad as I was in the tower, but now my memories became much worse after being away from the tower for more than mouth. I cannot stay in this kingdom any longer. I can''t trust nobody. Year 1283 July 26 I managed to escape my kingdom and had entered the neighboring kingdom, but it was still dangerous. Year 1283 July 30 I managed to travel good distance from my home country, but my condition isn''t good. I need to start researching the way to fix myself, but the tower maybe still looking for me. I need to hide! Year 1283 August 4 I managed to get to the city located in the far end of this kingdom called Mim. But it wasn''t enough! I cannot trust! Anybody could be working for the tower! Year 1283 August 12 It took me a while, but I managed to create my new home. I cannot wait any longer. My condition isn''t good. I need to start researching the way to find out what was going on with me. Year 1283 August 13 Year 1283 August 14 Year 1283 August 15 I I did it I found what was wrong with me. It seems I was poisoned with something. I don''t know when or how they poisoned me, but I managed to find it! The reason why my memories are disappearing! I don''t know what kind of poison this is. ButI think I can get rid of that poison. But I don''t have materials. With me being wanted criminal, it will be impossible to get necessary materials to create antidote and the moment I reveal myself and act as the criminal in order to steal those materials, they will find me and kill me! How far did they though this through?! I can get easily rid of that poison, but I cannot get my hands on those materials without getting find out and killed! Be it either by fair trade or by pretending to be bandit. No. They may have realized about the antidote and maybe be observing markets. I''m screwed! Year 1283 August 16 Year 1283 August 17 Year 1283 August 18 Year 1283 August 19 Year 1283 August 20 There may be a way. I tried researching, trying to find a different means of maybe curing myself. Gathering materials that may be used to create the cure for myself may end up alerting and giving away my position to the Rose tower. So then I have to use different means. Since I cannot create an cure with alchemy, I will make one using ss. I will create a new ss. However, creating just a ss that will deal with the poison will be not enough. The poison nature is unknown to me, but I do know that it acts like some sort of parasite and it was already too long inside my body. Simple poison or drug magic won''t work. I need something more. Something with an unstable nature that hasn''t taken a shape. Something that will react to the specific sses and create something new. Something that can create its own path. If its sess, I maybe be able to create a ss that may cure me, without letting the tower find out about me. After I create it, I will have finally chance to extract my revenge on those traitors! Year 1283 August 30 The research It stopped in tracks. The mutation is taking forms too soon as well as reaction are urring too soon. I need a living subjected in order to use them as test subject if I want to progress with my research. But Can I, do it? They will definitely die! No! I need to do it! If I don''t do it, I will die and those bastards will still be alive! I''m sorry But I will have to do it. Year 1283 September 15 The research has been going way better after kidnapping an orc. I can see it! The thing I''m looking for! But My memories They are getting even worse. I''m forgetting too many things to the point I need to record my every action I took during the experiment and other things. I now even need to carry around the code for the entrance and even had to mark my path in the forest with a special ink that I invented in the past when I was working for the tower. But the city! Am I over thinking it, or are they looking for me?! Do they know that I was kidnapping people?! No wait! What if the tower had started looking for me in here! NO! I cannot let them capture me! Not now when I''m finally on the path I wanted! But I cannot stop kidnapping people! I need more materials! I need more subjects! Year 1283 September 19 I-I think that thedy at the store looked at me funny? D-does the realized I was the one who kidnapped her son?! No! I made sure that nobody saw me! She doesn''t know! Wait! What if she now works for the tower?! Shit! I cannot use that store any longer. Year 1283 September 22 Em I think I kidnapped 3 people? Maybe 2? No wait, 3. I idently killed 1 of them today. Shit My memories I''m forgetting too much! Not only that, I need to slow down with kidnappings. People of the city are aware that people are going missing. I''m also running out of the drugs I''m using for kidnaping and the seller got recently catched by the guards and throwed to prison. I can probably kidnap few more times. But should I? The tower is probably still looking for me and I think people are getting suspicious of me? I even saw a weird looking mage walking through the streets I though he was from the tower, so I slit his throat But he wasn''t. I killed just random mage for no good reason. Fuck I''m scared! Both my mentality and memories are falling apart. I''m not in good state I don''t know how much time I have any longer. I need to finish my research before I break. Year 1283 September 30 Thest. Thest prisoner just died And I cannot go back to the city and kidnap more people, since people are now wary of the disappearance. Without the city folk, I cannot continue my research. I need to use my own body. It may kill me, but I''m too close to reaching my goal. And, it''s not like I can''t do it, since if I don''t do it, I will break. Year 1283 October 2 Today. I think my research almost killed me? Em What was it again?... Shit I forgotten to write it down. I think I lost consciousness for entire day. My arm is cut up and has some markings. Shit What was the thing I was doing? By the look of things, I forgotten to write it down. Shit. I need to restart yesterday experiment. Year 1283 October 5 I''m running out of time. I don''t know how many mouths, weeks or maybe days I have left. Year 1283 October 7 Its working! The mutations! The reaction! They are happening at the time I want to! The finally pieces! I''m finished making them!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om I can do it! All I need to do now is to assemble to data in correct order as well as form in order toplete it! Year 1283 October 11 I think I, did it? The thing that I was researching I think I, did it? But How do I use it? Shit. I can''t remember Even after looking through the books, notes and the diary I can''t remember how to use it. There is not a single mention how to use this ss! But Why I made this ss? Why not a potion? Wouldn''t potion be better? I was a cksmith. Wait, an alchemist Right ording to the diary I was alchemist. But What do I do now? Year 1283 October [] The research about the ss. I think there was research? What did I do that? [.] I think I ate something weird. My thing inside me hurts... And it tasted funny. Why. Why I was hiding?

(I just fuking dare you to get up and turn out to be a boss monster.) Phantasia inspected the skeleton before lifting it up and rolling it on the to the side, revealing a greenish book. "!" "Is that it?" C said Phantasia while picking up the book off the ground quickly from the ground and backing away from the skeleton. "" (Huh Is he really noting back to life?)

But the poison can be a medicine if used specifically or medicine can be harmful if not used correctly, this is quite simple, right? Then what about the alchemy? With alchemy you can both create poison and medicine. Something that can heal or something that can harm. So, I''ve wondered. What if Ibined the [Alchemist] and [Poison Mage] sses? [Poison Mage] does make poison, but the production sses have a lot of freedom when ites to the creating. So, what if I somehow manage to give that "Freedom" to the [Poison Mage]? Wouldn''t I be able to create some nasty poisons? But poisons alone probably wouldn''t do. No. I need to give them NASTY form. Something that may make it even more dangerous. So, I thought about the gue. What if I can create a weapon! A gue that will destroy everything? AND AS IT TURNS OUT! MY WAY OF THINKING WAS CORRECT!

(Not only that, its "Create", meaning I need to put efforts and other stuff to make it useful, just like alchemy or cksmithing can create junk or good stuff.) (So maybe its not really that bad?

Maybe I can somewhat restore those things?) (If I get rid off the ink markings and write down the code and the location, I will be the only person with an ess to this ce!) "Then I can conduct any shady experiments I want in peace!" "But then, how does equipment needed for alchemy and cksmithing cost?" "Right now I need more alchemy equipment, but it would be nice if I could also get cksmithing equipment." "Still, the current situation is way better than I could have imagine!" "Not only I have new ss that can became something nasty in the future." (But right now, to be even able to use any gues, I need a lot of materials and other stuff.) (But this isn''t the main problem.) (I cannot create any real harmful gues with the materials I have on my hand. The only harmful gue I can create is with the green dandelion, but its sucks ass.) (Well, maybe if I made it few more times, twerk things here and there, I maybe be able to create something at least useable.) (But I need some different stuff, if I want to research more about alchemy and the cksmithing.) (However, now I need to secure this ce and write down the code and do something about the ck market grass so nobody will find the clues.) "Anyway, I have a lot of work to do." The first thing I did after obtaining this base was to write down the location and the code to the base before the processing to get rid of the grass without being spotted by the others yers. The next thing I did was to look around and find out about the different alchemy tools and devices, trying to find out what I have. As it turns out, I got myself at some rather good stuff But the problem was repairing something called [Extraction Pod] that requires specific magic made ss. And its bit pricy like hell! How the hell that guy got?! And why the fuck you literally had to destroy the priciest thing you had?! Well, beside it, there were some other damaged equipment, but repairing them shouldn''t be much problem But. I mean should I bring them to the city? I mean, the NPCs aren''t some mindless A.I and they would probably ask questions. Would I get arrested? I mean, I did found it in the cave of the desperate thatmitted people and did inhuman experiments on them and all. Yea Its maybe better idea if I repair them myself. But to do that I need to practice and improve my cksmithing skills as well.N?v(el)B\\jnn So, yea By the way I looked up for the equipment rted to the alchemy and cksmith, I mean the things you need to use them and as it turns out, you can buy them. But they are bit pricy like hell FUCK ME! Calm the fuck down. What I need right now is two things. Money. Materials. The money I can maybe get if I fuck the hunting and focus on producing stuff But the problem are materials. IF I want to research more alchemy AND find possible to create a harmful gue, I need some things like poisons or some harmful substances. The current materials I can get my hands on are NOT enough. Leveling up and hunting isn''t my main priority right now. What I need right now are materials and money. But the problem is, that Ick any harmful materials. I have green dandelion, butmon, can it really be called harmful? So, until I found something like poison or something, I will be forced to continue hunting around until I finds something that I can use. Honestly, I say screw leveling up. My main priority right now is to develop my alchemy and gues. I don''t care if I willg behind other yers in terms of leveling up. Once I create the gue I''m hoping for, THESE PEOPLE ARE SCREWED. Still, right now I need is harmful materials and to find anything, I need to look around. "." (Okay. I''m here. The city. Specifically, the quest board.) (The "Adventures" or "The Wander" like the NPCs describe us can put on the quest like from the games.) (The quest board is something essible to everybody to the public.) (The NPCs publish their quest on it and the yers can take it.) (However, from what I know from online and personal experience, most if not all of the quest on the quest board are repeatable quest that can be cleared over and over by different people and some quests can be cleared multiple times by the same person.) (The repeatable quest from the quest board aren''t that good, but it''s better than nothing.) (Asking around the city about the dangerous substances or poisons maybe not an wisest decision.) (So, maybe I will find something on the quest board? There is a chance that there are some quests involving and poisons monster (With me being undead, I have natural defense bonus against poisons. But would there be an-) (Oh found one.) [Sewer Rat Extermination] [Rank: F] [The sewers beneath the city were infested with the rats'' monsters called sewer rats.] [Sewer rats and big dog sized monsters that can spit the poison around with their fangs and ws.] [The monster usually don''t leave the sewers since they despise sunlight, but there is still a chance of some of them appearing.] [Rmended level: 20] [Complete condition] [Bring 30 sewer rats'' tail to city garrison.] [Reward(s): EXP / 6 Silver Coin (100 copper coins = 1 Silver Coin).] (Huh The rewards seems Pretty good?) (The evil rabbit meat usually sells for 15 coppers and the meat from the big evil rabbit sold for 40 coppers.) "" "Wait, dude." C said the yer next to the Phantasia. "Hm? What is it?" "Em You are not thinking about epting that quest, right?" "Em Why not?" "Well. It''s just It''s way too fuking annoying." "?" [Few momentster C In the city sewers.] "HOLY FUKING SHTI! ITS LITERLY SMELLS LIKE SHIT IN HERE!" C shouted Phantasia. (Fuck me!) (Why the fuck they made it like that!) (No fuking wonder they offered 6 silver for this! Nobody wanted to take this bullshit quest!) (Even that guy who warned me told me it was not worth it!) (Fuck me Considering his expression back then, I guess he did that quest before...) "." "Shit I think I may puke" () (I mean sure, sewers sting and all, but holy shit This is way too much!) (What the fuck is the problem with the people living here?!) (What do they eat?!) (Jezus fuking Christ!) (No wonder these motherfucking NPCs want to use yers to clear up their mess!) (Okay! I have now some motivation to fuking murder everybody in the city!) () (Well, I was nning on doing that anyway, but still!) () (Fuck me. Let''s just get this quest over with and get the hell out.) Phantasia began walking through the sewers while trying to endure the foul odor. However, before long he ended uping across a giant rat monsters that began running straight towards Phantasia. [Sewer Rat C Level 20] x3. "?!" "Jezus! They are really dog sized!?" Phantasia aimed with his crossbow and shot it at the, hitting it right in the head and knocking it away, and somehow killing it in one shot? Huh. Headshots do really matters. The two other rats ran towards the Phantasia, forcing him to switch to the magic. "[Poison Shot]!" Phantasia fired a bullet of poison at the rat monster; however, the rat monster waspletely unbothered by it. "?!" (Wait what?!) () (Oh I think they may have poison defense resistance and maybe resistance like me. I honestly should have seen thating miles away) Before long the rat got near the Phantasia, but their path was suddenly blocked by the giant white furballs. "?" [Big Evil Rabbit] "Say hello to my kind of big friends?" "Anyway, get them." The giants rabbits began beating up the rats one sidedly. The rats tried fighting back, but by the look of things their attacks barely did anything to the rabbits. It honestly didn''t took that long for the rabbits to kill the rats. "" (Huh. I mean I know that these rabbits are strong and all But they barely did any damage? So why-) "Wait a second?! Why are you losing HP?!" [Status: Poisoned] "!" "Shit! [Rondo: Return]!" Phantasia called back one of his giant rabbits'' monsters. "" "Okay They barely do any damage. But they have a nasty poison Fuking FUN!" (Its probably the other reason why people avoid this ce.) (Not only a nasty smell, but also a poison that can shit tons of damage.) ". This. It will be way more annoying than I though." Chapter 10 – Sewers. The sewers and the rats They were an annoyingbinations. The sewer rats don''t possess much power behind their attacks, but they can inflict annoying poison. That isn''t problem for me, since I''m undead I have a natural resistance to the poison. I have both [Poison Resistance (Weak)] and increased natural defense against poison. Simply put, the rats poison literally can''t deal any damage to me I wasn''t expecting that? But the problem are my monsters. Especially rabbits. They are far stronger that the rats, even though they are the same level, but because they need to fight at close range, they can get easily poisoned by the rats and that is very bad. The rats poison does some damage, but the problem is duration. Its bit long. Not only that, the rabbits were being hit over and over To the point that just having them out is just Hindrance. The best way to deal with those rats is long range attacksI can kill them with the crossbow. But I can''t fuking use my poison magic! They seem to have a natural defense against poison like me! I can still deal damage But barely anything. So, yea I also have my skeletons Who are not good and the summons. It will be very annoying. Honestly, I wouldn''t mind just giving up the quest, since it would probably take me a LONG time to deal with it But here is the problem. [Sewer Rats Poison Organ] [Rarity: Common] [A special organ that was developed by the sewer rats that allows the rats to produce a poison that cowers their fangs and ws.] The first material containing the poison I found was indeed a drop item you can get from those rats. Not only that, but their fur can probably be also used for alchemy. Fuck me. Now I have no choice but to hunt here IF I want the necessary materials for my alchemy and gue experiments. Not only that, those rats tail I got from the rats seem to be quiet useless item. So, I won''t lose anything by giving them toplete the quest. So, I can get some loot andplete a quest that can pay well. But the problem is this ce. Fuck me. I don''t know if it usually that many monsters here, or was it because nobody wanted to clear that quest, but these rats are everywhere! So, I needed a power up. And I kind of had no choice but to use all of my points into the [Necromancy]. [Summoner] was an option as well, but ording to the posts made online, the necromancer have some attack skills and I need them, since my other attack skills are poison so yea Fuck. Well, I did get some attack skills. However, the rats were still problematic. There was just straight up too many of them. I honestly already finished the quest already, but the reason why I stayed behind is simple. I need more materials from the rats and I mean like a LOT of I want to lock myself away for my research and all. The higher level rats that appeared deeper in the sewers weren''t much challenge, but they were not giving as much as EXP as the big evil rabbits. However, their numbers did made up for it. In the end, I managed to secure 93 sewer rats poison organs. Jezus! Take care of these sewers you bastards NPCs! This is your city in the first ce! Honestly, I already have a lot of these sewer rats'' tail toplete the quest 3 times over. However, the problem is still with sewer rats poison organs. I don''t know how many I will use in my alchemy research and then gue research. So, I maybe be forced toe back here and hunt more of these rats. But for now, I had no choice but to go back. I ran out of the potions and other stuff. Fuck me. I only recently repaired my equipment but it''s almost broken again! I think I really need to made my own equipment, since NOW I know how shitty this equipment I''m currently using is! So, I went to the city barracks in order to give those tails toplete the quest. "Oh? FINALY!" C said a soldier. "Somebody fuking finally did that sewer rats quest!" C said the soldier NPC. ". Wait So, nobody was really doing that?!" C asked Phantasia. "Yea! This ce smell is too much for everybody and not only that, the poison and the diseases those rats have are extremely dangerous!" C said the soldier. "The city guards cannot risk that kind of danger, since we are needed to defend the city in case of emergency, so that why the quest was posted for the adventures." "But. None of thempleted it." "Well, do you wonder WHY?" C said annoyed Phantasia. "This smell in unbearable! Not only that, that poison can easily kill people! My tamed monsters who are much stronger that those rats couldn''t handle that freaking poison." "So its not only annoying because of the smell, but because of the poison." "If I wasn''t an undead zombie, I would have probably died long time ago!" "Yea Anyway, you are here with the tails, right? Here is the promised money." [You havepleted the quest.] [You have received 6 silver coins.] [You have received EXP.] [Level Up.] (Oh? Not only the money, but also the EXP reward is quite good?) "" "Question. Can this quest be taken on again?" "Hm?" "" "Well. Normally no But considering the current circumstances. Wait a moment." The soldier left the room and few momentster he came back with a big orc. "Sorry for the dy. This person here is an Dumdo. He is the head of the city garrison." C said the soldier. [Dumdo C Capitan of the city garrison.] "Greetings. I''m Dumdo. I''m the current head of the city garrison." C said the giant orc. "First of all, let me thank you to for dealing with some of those rats. And as for your question" "Honestly, this quest was supposed to be a ime only. But considering the current situation with rats, I don''t think it''s a bad idea to give you the quest regarding another extermination of those rats." "But unfortunately, I would have to double the required number of tails to make is somewhat look fair and not look like "Favoritism" or something." "So, do you want to do it?" C asked orc. "Yeb." "Great." [Sewer Rat Extermination C Part 2] [Bring 60 sewer rats'' tails.] [Reward: 15 Silver coins / EXP]n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "Well, I hope- " "Ah, I already did that." C said Phantasia. "What?" "I killed 93 rats while I was in the sewers. I have 60 tails toplete he quest." "." "Did you just" "No." C said Phantasia. "Do you have ANY fuking idea how many of those rats are sewers!?" "" "I Okay. I get it. I won''t ask questions." C said the orc. [You havepleted the quest.] "Good." (Okay. I managed to secure some money.) (Honestly, I wasn''t expecting him to give me a brand new quest.) (The developers stated that the NPCs or a specific actions can cause a quest to appear, so does that mean that the NPCs have a way to create quests?) (If so, then-) [Your favorability with the [Dumdo C Capitan of the city garrison] has increased.] "?" (Favorability? What is this?) (Oh? Favorability? Huh.) [Favorability] [This is something like a private stat, a connection between a yer and specific NPC or a group or organization.] [It can be both negative and positive.] (Huh. Would I. Nah.) (Let''s not abuse it.) (I don''t want to be too big of a friends with him, since my goal is to destroy this ce.) (He may be a useful tool for me. But I don''t want to run around and do errands for him. He may give me a nice rewards as well as other stuff.) (But I need to remember my priorities first and that is research.) (Not only that, I need to hunt a bit for the slimes and gather some materials along the way as well as buy some parts to repair some tools that got broken from the hideout as well as the copper ingots so I can practice my cksmithing.) (Nothing can be easy, huh?) () (But, if everything goes ording to the n, it will be worth it.) Chapter 11 – Training – Alchemy. [Back at the hideout.] "Fuck Just how big of a mess did you made?" C said Phantasia while cleaning up. "." "Okay This ce is now somewhat Clean?" "Now I guess I need to repair those things." (That guy broke some devices and I bought some parts that looked simr But I have zero idea if they will work.) (Since I cannot bring them to the city to have them repaired, I have to do that myself Messing around with the devices and tools I never seen or used before Fuck.) (However, the worst part is that those parts alone costed a bit and some parts needed to repair the most important things were either unable to be bought in the city or were too pricy.) (Well Let''s just do it.) I began trying to repair some of the tools rted to the alchemy that got broken. And I got to say. It did took some time. Some of the tools got wrecked badly to the point I didn''t know what goes where Good thing I took a good look around the alchemy store and the tools they were selling. I write important details of the tools in my notebook. Still, even with notes it did ended up taking some time to repair some of the tools. I did ended up spending hours, cleaning this ce up and repairing tools, but I managed to do everything. "Good." (Its not perfect. But it will do.) (The only thing that is left are those tools BUT HOLY SHIT! Even the price for the parts were high like hell!) (How the hell did that bastard even got his hands on those tools in the first ce?) "" "Well." "No matter." (I couldn''t buy a cksmith equipment yet, since I didn''t sold the materials from the rats. I will need to do any cksmith rted work in the public workshop.) (Still, the main goal was achievement.) (I have now a base where I can conduct any shady alchemy or research regarding gues in peace.) (I also hunted a bit and gather some slime as well as other materials from the forest.) (Now, its time to lock myself in here and experiment.) "However, what I need right now is money." (I may have gotten some money from get go thanks to the sewers, but I already spent most of it alongside the other money I had on me.) (But beside the materials, I need money for other things.) (So. What is the best way to get money? Making potions.) (I pretty much spend lot of time, gathering materials and other stuff instead of hunting.) (However I did hunted a bit for materials.) "What the yers need right now isn''t mass produced items made by equipment shop or alchemy shop, but instead an proper equipment and potions." (There are still a lot of low level yers, but there should be also yers with the same level as me.) (I may have leveled up bit faster thanks to knowing about the big evil rabbits hunting ground as well as thanks to fighting those hordes of rats, but with me being focused more on crafting now, it will be no surprise if I will be behind others in terms of levels if not already.) (However, it all be worth it.) (Any good experimental potions I made I can sell AND I will learn more about alchemy.) (Not only that, I can practice using those devices and see their effects.) [Evil Rabbit Foot] [A most tasty part of the evil rabbit. Possess some vitality inside.] [Big Evil Rabbit Foot] [A most tasty part of the big evil rabbit. Possess some vitality inside.] [Sewer Rat Mushroom] [A mushroom that was grown a mutated often in areas where the sewers rats live. Very harmful and dangerous, but an emergency food for the sewer rats.] [Sewer Rat Fur] [A fur from the sewer rats. Its very dangerous to even touch considering the disease and harmful substances that contains it, but it also possess a natural defense against the diseases and poisons.]n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om [Sewer Rat Meat] [A meat of the sewer rat. Its very harmful and toxic, it''s not rmended to be eaten by anybody or anything that doesn''t have any form of poison resistance.] [Sewer Rat Poison Organ] [A special organ that was developed by the sewer rats that allows the rats to produce a poison that cowers their fangs and ws.] [Dark Cave Moss] [A special moss that can be found in very deep and dark caves with their own ecosystems. Emits faint light when exposed to the total darkness. Contains bit of mana and is edible.] [Grey Nettle] [A harmful nt that contains both sharp leaves and poison. The leaves cannot give you a deep cut and can only cut a bit of your skin, but not really making you bleed a lot, but enough for the poison to slip in. However, the poison itself isn''t fatal or anything close to that and more like annoyance.] I got few new materials. The monster''s noticeable thing is the sewer rat drop items. Honestly, I don''t anybody wants to eat that meat from them in the first ce. But this isn''t the only reason. "It''s very harmful and toxic." That is what is written on the item description. So, there is a chance I can use it for the alchemy. Not only that, but all the materials I gotten from the sewers. The also noticeable materials I also have are the evil rabbits foots. They may seem like ingredients for the cooking, but:" Possess some vitality inside". So maybe its not just simple ingredient as it may appear. Maybe I can use it for the alchemy? Well, we will see. Pretty much I spend the rest of the day, experimenting with the materials, trying to find different reactions, Taking notes. Repeat. Mix. Change order. Use different tool. Honestly. It was quite interesting. Honestly, I felt like some sort of mad scientist. Huh. "Doctor"? Huh Well, I''m nning to be a person who will spread the gues. So, gue doctor? But not the one who cures it, but the ones who spreads it. Hm I have an idea. But let''s wait a bit with it. For now: Alchemy. The next day was fully dedicated to the alchemy. The notes I have taken alongside the experiments were More sessful than I though. Honestly, I though about experimenting with the gues, but the research regarding the sewer''s rats'' materials was far from "Completed". I though that it still wasn''t time But then it hit me. "Do I need to create a harmful gue?" So, I tried messing around and as it turns out I can. I managed to create an "Helpful" gue But I won''t be using it. Experimenting with the gues alone and alchemy do consume a lot of resources, and I need those for the creating "Harmful" gue. Honestly, I could make some "Helpful" gues and sell them, but it would make people pay attention to me and other stuff AND that is something I need to avoid at all cost now. So, I will be not making an "Helpful" gue and instead focus the materials rted to it for the potion crafting. Anyway, the experiments were going Pretty good, but not there yet. I guess alchemy isn''t something you can learn and use in only just few days. Still! The possibilities! The reactions! This isn''t a world of the game with the predetermined path, but a path you can create yourself! Not only an adventure, but also your creation! This world has so much freedom, too much even to the point I wouldn''t be surprised if there would be confused people, not knowing what to do. Still, if I can that much FUN with the alchemy, what about the gues? What sort of things I can create? Can I create something that can regrow people limbs? Or maybe a diseases that can melt people bodies? Or what about the cksmithing? What sort of weapons I can create? Oh wait! Can Ibine all 3 together? What would abination of all 3 make? I know that the path is still long, with all 3 paths, BUT I CAN''T WAIT! The things I can make! And the chaos that they may bring is already exciting me. Chapter 12 – Selling potions. [Healing Grass Potion] [Rarity: Umon] [A special version of the healing grass potion that was taken to another step.] [Effect: Restore 60 HP.] "Huh This is interesting." [You have created and experimented with countless potions, making a lot of different potions, some different but sometimes simr but not the same.] [You have obtained title: Researcher Of Potions C Rank 1] [Title Rank: E (Grow)] [Based on your alchemy research regarding the potions as well as your potion production, this skill rank and rarity may change, giving it new effects and bonuses.] [Effect C Rank 1] -Increase Alchemist type ss level by 2.] [Level of the [Alchemist] has increased.] "Oh. Even a title? Nice." [The title [Crafting C Tier 1] has changed to [Crafting C Tier 2] - [E] [Crafting C Tier 1] C [Effect: +5 ss points.] [Crafting C Tier 2] C [Effect: +10 ss points.] (Oh, the title got upgraded as well? Nice.) (Anyway.) (60 heal, huh?) ( I only used few different tools and in different order But the results were much better than I hoped for!) (The process to create this potions is much longerpare to the regr or enchanted healing grass potion.) "But the effect its way better." "The obvious down side is that it takes time to make one, but I can create a lot of potions at the same time." (This will definitely sell. Both low level yers and some high level yers.) (But it''s not enough.) 1 point of health is equal to 10 HP. "I need to make a stronger potion if I want to attract more customers. But I barely used slime goo or the mana grass, so I can still experiment a bit!" The alchemy research today was more fruitful than I though. Just by using different tools and process, I was somehow able to create even shitteir version of the potions than original OR instead created something way better, even if used same number of materials. I was slowly getting hang of these new alchemy tools. But not quite there, I still sometimes made some huge mistakes, even when I tried to make some adjustment to not to repeat those mistakes, I still ended up making the same mistake. Not only that, each tool has a different effect and if you realize some effects or reaction are simr and different effect on the stuff I''m experimenting with. So, it''s crucial for me to research theses tools and use them often to learn from experience. HOWEVER, this isn''t the main point right now. I discovered something big. Those tools, notes and other stuff It''s way more important than it may seem. "The public workshop WON''T do at all if you want to take crafting seriously." Be it either alchemy, cooking or cksmithing. If you want to be a production ss user, you need a proper workshop. Those tools, they made me realize that. It not only allows me to boost my performance, BUT it also helps me in researching the alchemy AS WELL AS improving my alchemy skills. But. Herees the problem. I also want to do the cksmithing, but I don''t have tools or money to make my own cksmithing workshop inside this ce. Well, that why I need to focus on the alchemy and make some good stuff that I can sell and earn some money. The goal is to make an potions that are helpful and don''t use anything that is harmful or anything like that, since I will need them for my gue research. Well, there is also another thing that needs to be mentioned. Honestly, there is so much going on to the point I''m writing things down on the notebooks I bought and honestly, I already written a lot already. But it was worth it. Bybing specific notes together or taking an example from the past experiments. And this is one of the results I was aiming for. [Modified Healing Grass Potion] [Rarity: Umon] [A special version of the healing grass potion that was taken to many different step towards creating better potion.] [Effect: Restore 100 HP.] (Hm The effect is two times more effective than themon rarity Modified Healing Grass Potion and bit more.) (Its takes bit long to made, but since I''m not using too many materials it''s not bad.) (Not only that.) [Numbing Potion] [Rarity: Umon] [A potion with very numbing effect that tires the body.] [Effect: Decrees 30 SP] (Bybing the Dark Cave Moss, Grey Nettle and Green Dandelion could give me such interesting effect?) (I tried making some potions based on the Modified Healing Grass Potion, but it''s an interesting oue.) (The 30 SP decrees may not seem like a lot, but I used small ratio of ingredients, meaning I can mass produce it. Not only that, this is only the starting product, meaning I can make it even better with few more experiments and adjustments.) (Not only that, this ce is perfect for cultivating the Dark Cave Moss. That guy even left the notes to not to forget how he got them as well as how to take care of them. Apparently, he was sometimes using them as ingredients beside as the light source.) (It takes some times to grow them, but as long as I don''t fuck up, I should have stable supply of it.) (Hm Say I know that you need to drink the potion for it to work But are there other ways? Like for example dip a bolt or the dagger in it?) "" Phantasia took our one of his daggers and dibbed it in the numbing potion before stabbing himself. "" (Huh It worked? My stamina was reduced) () Phantasia picked the second potion and poured it on his arm. "" (It also worked) Phantasia took the healing potion and then poured it on his leg as well as hit himself with the dipped dagger.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "" (The dagger worked But with beery any effects But the pouring it didn''t worked.) (So I guess it depends.) (Still, its better to write it down.) After few more experiments, I began mass producing the healing potions, using all the ingredients I has at hand. I also made few other potions that may be useful. It took me few hours, but I ended up making a lot of potions. After I finished making thest potion, I head straight towards the city. But first thing first, I went and had a talk with the guards. Apparently, I can open the something like a stall where I can sell potions without trouble. He also told me that there is something called open street market where the stalls can open, so I went there. And honestly This ce is located right near the way to the hunting grounds, so honestly its quite perfect. However, considering how often people go in and out of this ce, I don''t want to get too much attention, so I''m wearing a hood the wooden mask to cover my face. () (I can see some stalls They seem to be an NPCs But I also see some yers? Huh. There is not a lot but there are few.) (Dishes. Potions. Weapons) (This ce is quiet less chaotic than before, so there is no horde of yers going on the rampage to just get to the hunting grounds.) (Jeez... Who would believe that this ce on the start was just straight up war zone Probably people didn''t even realized that this ce was public market I honestly didn''t even realized myself.) (Still. After this ce calmed down a bit, people are now seem to use this ce as a gathering spot, so opening stall here is perfect.) "Let''s see." (Oh. There is a good spot.) Phantasia took out a carpet from his inventory before taking out few potions and sight. "Hm? Hey. Are you selling potions?" C asked the orc yer. (Oh? I didn''t even prepared yet or anything, but somebody already approached me?) "Yes. I''m an alchemist researcher." C said Phantasia. "Researcher?" "Yeb." "I pretty much spend days researching alchemy. Its pretty much my job." "Want to take a look?" C said Phantasia while holding a potion. ".?!" "Wait! Umon rarity potion?!" C shouted the orc yer. "?" "Hey. What did he just said?" "Umon rarity?" The orc yer that just shouted ended up getting some attention from the other yers after the word [Umon Rarity] was heard by the yers. "Hey! How the hell did you get that?!" C asked the orc yer. "What do you mean by "Get that"? I made it myself." C said Phantasia. (Well, using the tools I had from the hideout. So, you can''t replicate them using stuff from the public workshop.) "However, this isn''t all my dear costumer." [Modified Healing Grass Potion] [Rarity: Umon] [Effect: Restore 100 HP] [Wiggling Leaf Potion] [Rarity: Umon] [Effect: Restore 50 MP] [Modified Wiggling Leaf Potion] [Rarity: Umon] [Effect: Restore 80 MP] "?!" "Wait what?! All of these are umon rarity?!" C said the orc yer. "Yeb!" "So, how about it? Interested in buying some of them?" "!" "Of course!" "Hey wait" C said a human yer from behind. "Hm?" "Can we also check the things you are selling?" C asked the female dark elf. "Sure, no problem." "Hey! Are you really selling umon rarity potions?! Let me see!" "Hey! I was first! Fuck off!" "Everybody!" C shouted Phantasia. "!" "Please calm down." "I have a lot in stocks, so please don''t fight and be civil." Honestly, this was way better than I hoped for. Because of that stupid orc yer suddenly shouting about my umon rarity potions, I was able sell potions without any problems Well not exactly, yers began fighting each other to buy my potions. Makes sense if you look at it. I mean, everybody wants to use the best potions possible, so selling them was EXTREMLY easy. However, I needed to made sure that the price wasn''t too high or anything. I just acted as a good merchant and sold potions at the good price, beneficial for both me and the costumers. Still, I did ended up earning a lot of money! I did made shit tons of these potions, but I honestly wasn''t expecting to run out of them so early on. "Sorry costumers. That was thest potion I had in stock." C said Phantasia. "Oh." C said the disappointed yers. "Em Question. Will you make more potions in the future and sell them?" C asked a female orc yer. "Well, it depends on how long it takes me to gather materials and then make potions. So unfortunately, it will take some time." "Shit." C said the human yer. "If I fuking knew that it would turn that way I would havee here early." "Forget it man, we were unlucky this time. Next time lets hope we at least buy something." The crowd of the yers dispersed after the Phantasia announced that he ran out of the potions. (Huh This went way better than I imagined.) (Not only I managed to sell all the potions I prepared, but I also earned a shit tons of money.) (Good thing that I''m wearing the mask and the hood, since I can kind of see some yers stalking me to see what materials I will be using for the potions crafting or may stalk me to my base.) (Still, I earned more money that I hoped for.) (Mass producing potions for the entire day was worth it.) (I can now afford to buy many different cksmith tool and ingots.) (But, this isn''t the main positive thing going on.) (One of my main goals was particle archive!) (The alchemy research!) (I have now possess both enough data from experimenting with the healings potions as well as harmful materials to start the next step.) (Now, its time for the long awaited the gue research to start moving.) Chapter 13 – Blacksmithing. After sessfully selling all the potions I made, I had enough money to afford many tools rted to the cksmithing. That what I though. Some of the cksmith tools were more Pricy than I thought. Fuck me. Well. I did used somemon ingredients to make my potions and THEY re meant for the beginners and all. Even though the stuff I made was some good stuff that the yers wanted at all cost and sold for well, I''m still at the start of the game, so I think I got too overjoyed to realize the situation.... Yea I thought I was richer than I thought. But then after looking a bit Yea Reality hit hard. Well, my current goal is right now practice gue making. But I need a new fuking equipment since my current armor and weapons are shit! I really need to have some proper equipment! Without proper equipment, hunting and gathering materials will be harder. The harder the hunting and material gathering is, the longer it will take me to research alchemy and gues. So, yea Fuck. I really wanted to start my gue research now after buying the cksmithing equipment, but I didn''t though it would require THAT much money! Without proper armor and weapons, my ns will be getting hindering over and over and the stuff from the city won''t work. I have to get a solid armor and weapons. I saw some yers in the city, selling their stuff, but there was very few of them. I guess yers are still focused more onbat than crafting. I tried going around, without my mask obviously, and see what people were making. Some people made some average stuff, but some made even shitty stuff like I did before. Honestly, it will take time, but they maybe be able to create something good in the future? Still, since they don''t have ess to the private workshop like I''m nning to make, it will make them have some harder time making stuff. Not only that, you need money to buy ingots and train and make stuff. And to get money, they have to sell those failure weapons they made at first, but they won''t sell for a lot, meaning they have to hunt, then spend money and then repeat over and over. It will take time. I have a good means of getting money now Meaning I have no choice but to do it myself if I want to get weapons now. But I cannot do that because I''m t broke, meaning I have to gather materials, make potions, sell potions, buy stuff, bring stuff, prepare stuff and then I can start cksmithing.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om AND THE FUKING REASON WHY I CANNOT INGOR THAT ALL FOR NOW IS BECOUSE I NEED TO HUNT TO GET MATERIALS AND WITHOUT PROPER EQUIPMENT, HUNTING WILL BE MUCH HARDER AND TAKE MORE TIME SO I HAVE TO FUKING DO IT EVEN IF I SAY NO! FUCK! The world revolvers around the money. Be it reality or fantasy. World is always ruled by money. So, yea I guess I have to again start hunting and gather materials and be an alchemy merchant again. With no choice, I once again hunted and gathered the materials rted to the potion crafting before locking myself away. The only good thing about the situation was that I knew where to harvest the materials, since I wrote it down and thanks to thatmotionst time, people instantly went in frenzy went they found out about me, showing up with batch of potions. I did ended up increasing a price a little, but people weren''t much bothered by it. However. They were. A bit chaotic to say the least. They really wanted my potions since I''m probably the only yer that can sell that kind of stuff. There was some unwanted trouble and it was WAY more annoying thanst time, but still, I managed to sell all the potions with all that trouble. There were however some people that tried to invite me to the party or tried to do some business with me, but I just said nope, ran away and took off my mask. Well, with that trouble aside. Please! Tell me I have enough money now! And thank fuking god! It was enough! I managed to buy all remaining tools and materials as ell as ingots this time! Well, there was one problem. Furnace. I needed to make the cksmith furnace myself from the scratch. I got the materials, but I cannot have somebodye to my hidden base and have it installed there, SINCE ITS LITERLY AN HIDDEN BASE. So, yea. I had to do it from scratch. It took me some time, but I made it... Expect the fact that I somehow managed to fuck it up without noticing and it copsed and had to do it from the scratch again. Fuck me Did I did something to somebody or something? Why the fuck when the things started finally going the perfect way for me, I''m starting to encounter problems left and right! For fuck''s sake! I only want to start my gue research that will. Oh. Yea I can see the reason why bad things are happening to me since I want to create a gue and all Well, after struggling a bit, I finally managed to FUKING finally have my own forge. AND THIS time it didn''t fuking copsed! And now my cksmith is finally finished after this long and annoying struggle. It''s not too shabby or anything. It doesn''t have extremely good tools like the alchemy tools I have and its pretty much simr to the public workshop, but now I have a private smith, meaning I can experiment in peace and shady stuff as well as don''t have to pay to use the smith any longer. Well, I do still need to pay for the ingots, but still. Now I have a ce where I can produce all the stuff I need in peace and other stuff. The first thing I need to make is an armor and some weapons. I know, I know. I said that I need to start research gues and that its finally time research gues. But I also mentioned that my current equipment is SHIT! So, yea Before gues, firstes armor. And oh boy It takes time to learn cksmithing, just like alchemy. Yea. I ended up making few failure daggers like before, but then I finally made a solid dagger. [Copper Dagger] [Rarity: Common] [Attack: 6-10] After making my first sessful dagger, I smelted it. I mean Sure. Daggers are nice and easy to use and all. However, there is a small problem. Well, two to be exact. The first is that dagger is meant for low level yers So, yea, it doesn''t fit me at all. So, it''s better to smelt it and use it materials to make something different and make item that fits my current level. That dagger maybe good, but it doesn''t fit my current level and now I can finally make something. And the second reason, I don''t know what I want as my close range weapon. What I need is some stronger attacks. (The crossbow deals some nice damage and it works well with poison.) (I can switch to the bow But the bows requires some practice and the crossbow deals much more damage, a thing I need.) (So What should for my close range?) (Should I stick with the daggers?) (They don''t deal much damage But I don''t want anything like sword, axe, spear or anything two handed, since they will require me to spent a little bit more of my points into agility and strength.) (Well, I was nning to put bit more points into them since alchemy and cksmithing stuff, but still.) (Hm.) (What should I do?) (Do I even need an close range weapon in the first ce?) (I mean, I''m using monsters as my meat shields, but I did realized that sometimes enemies gets near me , even when I''m using monsters as my meat shields, so having something at least at close range would be nice.) (The daggers are quick to use at close range and I can use them with one hand.) (I can also dip them in poison.) "Hm." "No matter how you look at it. I only need some weapon for the close range in case of emergentist, so the daggers seems like the best option?" "I mean, I will focus on the long rangebat anyway, so why I should care so much about the close range weapon? It doesn''t make sense." "Maybe instead of dagger I should make a smaller crossbow that I can fire with one hand for the case of emergent?" "" "" (I tried to think about it But it seems that the daggers are still the best option for me?) (But let''s think a bit more about it.) (Is there anything like a good weapons that works well with poison?) () (Well, weapon with edges are the obvious answer, since you can cut the enemy and have the poison on the de enter their body. Would the blunt weapons works with poison as well?) () (A weapon "Free" to use and without much problem would be REALLY the dagger, no matter how I look at it.) (It could easily inject.) "Hm?" "Inject?" "Oh How about the syringe?" "" "Nah. I doubt the enemy would let themselves get hit with the syringe." "I mean, it would inject a poison. Hm But what if. Nah. It would won''t with dagger. Combining and dagger and syringe. How would that work? Make a small holes on the weapon edges or something? Nah., I don''t think it would. Wait maybe instead make a syringe pointy part stick out of the top of the dagger de so it would inject poison when stabbing enemy? That could work if you look at it." "But wouldn''t I need some sturdy container for the poison or something? Since I will be using it as weapon." "Hm That does sound like nice idea and it may possible work. But do I have enough specific materials to make it possible now? And unlike alchemy, I learned firsthand that getting hang of the weapons is one of the things when using them, so I would need to use that weapon to see its bad and good sides and think about what to do it with." "" "Fuck. Now I''m getting hooked on by cksmithing" () (I also have to think about the armor.) (But the answer will be pretty obvious.) (I will go something like mage or rouge outfit with some defense since my main weapon is poison magic and not "Weapons".) (Hm I wonder if I can maybe make an armor that can poison the enemies? Like.) "" "Wait. Armor?" "" "Huh. Wait Maybe it can work! And it maybe way better than daggers AND it may work better with my way of fighting. If it works, then maybe I can maybe use that idea and twerk it a little bit and then I would have a nice weapon for closebat!" (I know that I shouldn''t care much about the closebat weapon and all, but if it WORKS then maybe I can have something like a nice "Ace" in my sleeve!) "Oh, fuck me! The gue research can wait! I''m really getting excited right now with that idea!" And so, I began another form of experiments. This time not an alchemy experiments, but cksmithing. And fuck me! It was fun! It took me a lot of trials and errors like before with the alchemy, but I think because I have a set goal in mind of what I wanted to make, I didn''t ended up experimenting too many times as I though? Well, both the alchemy and cksmith is about crafting, but the methods and the results by using both of them arepletely different. Still, even if I did get what I wanted to archive, it was still half assed. So technically I didn''t archived what I wanted. "Making the thing is one thing, but making it good is apletely different matter." So yea In the end I did had to experiment a bit and see what I could change to make it better. Still, it was worth it. [Big Evil Rabbit Robe] [Rarity: Common] [A robe made out of the fur of the big evil rabbit.] [Defense: 30] [Restriction(s): Level 18] (Huh.) (It maybe amon rarity, but still, it''s quiet well made.) (Not only that, its just only one piece of equipment.) (I can make other parts of equipment.) (So, this thing is far better than any equipment offered by the city.) (Still. This white fur will make me stand out a bit.) (I mean, its pure white and all. Well, if webine it with the helmet, pants, belt and boots, it''s still worth it.) "Not only that, I made this." [Evil Big Rabbit w Finger Gauntlet] [Rarity: Common] [An armor meant to be worn as gloves, however it also equip the user fingers with sharp ws, turning the user fingers into ws that can be used as an weapons.] [Defense: 20] [Attack: 20-25] [Restriction(s): Level 20] (I did ended up using a bit of copper, since I needed to make it work as both the weapon and armor.) (However, this is just a prototype, its nowhere near the thing I have in mind, but it will do for now as my closebat weapon.) (I did ended up sacrificing some defense for the attack, but now I have nice weapon.) (I made the fingers especially long and sharp so I can better inject poison into my enemies AND I can use crossbow without much trouble and have unrestricted movement with my hands.) (Well, the only downside is that I still have no clue how to make the thing I want to and I''mcking materials.) (I need to see this in action and see what I should change or remove to make it better.) (I also need some other materials.) (There is also the fact that my cksmithing skills are still half assed and there is still room to improve and all. So, yea) "Still, at least now I have a proper armor and weapons." "Now, I don''t have to worry about anything anymore and can finally start my gue research!" "" (This time for real. I swear.) Chapter 14 – Poison and Plague research. -Alchemy equipment and research C Check. -cksmithing equipment and new armor as well as weapons made C Check. I can finally start my research regarding gues without any more fuking trouble. But still I have zero fuking clue about the gues. I mean, sure I did some research at the start, to get a good grasp of the gue abilities, but so far, I have not done any proper research yet. So far, I learned that making the gue is bit simr to the alchemy in some areas and that was one of the reason why I was focusing on the alchemy before going straight for the gues since I needed some data. However overall, its bit weird. So, I guess it will take me some time to learn. There is also another problem. Unlike alchemy or cksmithing where you can get a general idea what to do or may ask some NPCs for the help or just buy a guide for the dummies like I did or even skills that helps you a bit in crafting, the gue research doesn''t have anything like that. Meaning, I have to do everything from the scratch. Well, not exactly since my experience with alchemy came in handy. Still, I did needed to make different things that can be used for the gue making. I even made a bad made stuff so I can see what things can change. But before we dive into the gue creation, there are several things that needs to be exined. The gues that I can make can have things like [First Form]. [Properties]. [Effect]. The first form is about the gue form when its released, for example like a liquid or smoke. The effect is simple put, the effect that the gues gives. For example, when I made gue using green dandelions, the gue had a slow effect like green dandelion. Or when I made a gue using healing grass, it instead had an effect of regeneration, unlike the instant heal of the potions. And thest if not most important: Properties. This is like an symptoms, characteristics and nature of the gue. For example, a characteristic of spreading like a diseases from touching or having a corpse emit the gue. These characteristics can make the gue spread more easily or make it stronger in some conditions, however some are two edged and for example make the gue bit weaker. Beside those 3 things, there is also important fact that I can store it within my skill AND its automatically regenerated. However, It takes way too long to even regenerate even a single bit and the amount I can store inside the skill is also small like hell So pretty much the regeneration over time is quiet extremely useless and the storage part as well. Maybe if I level up the skill, it will at least get a BIT better? Well, I doubt it would get somewhat big change after 1 or 2 levels. So, yea. I have to make gues manually using materials over and over if I want to use them. Maybe the small reserve and the shitty regeneration was made to bnce this ability out or something? Or maybe it''s just that shitty because its low level? Well, the only way to find out is to level up that skill. Anyway, the gue I''m aiming for needs two things. It need to be deadly. And it needs to spread quiet easily. However, to make anything harmful, I need to use harmful materials. I have few harmful materials and a lot of it, but there are few problems. The first problem is that the stuff you can get at the start, so I doubt they can be very dangerous from get go, meaning it will take some time to make it into useful gue. The second problem is that I have only 6 things that can be harmful. Well technically 5, since the green dandelion sucks too much. Most of the materials I have that are harmful are from the sewers and those rats. The other stuff harmful stuff I have beside the green dandelion and the rats'' materials is the Grey Nettle. Its poisons nt that also gives you a slow. But the effects are extremely weak to the point its useful as the green dandelion. However, if Ibine it the green dandelion and the dark cave moss, I can create a numbing poison that reduces target SP (Stamina). This thing by itself seem to suck alongside the green dandelion, but maybe they are only bit useful if you mix them up with something? Either way, the thing I need to focus on is the sewer rats'' materials. The first few experiments with the sewer rats'' materials were. Sessful to say the least. [Weak Sewer Rat Poison] [Effect: Apply Poison C Deals 2 damage for 15 seconds.] The effect was quite weak, with only dealing 30 damage in total, but still I made it this way since I wanted to mess around. This poison is simple sewer rat poison I got from its organ. I used the weak poison potion as well as mixed few stuff like the mana grass or the moss, getting different results. By the look of things, boiling the rat poison makes it much weaker, so I have to be carefully while liquefying the materials or it will make the poison weaker. The sewer rats'' other materials beside the organs were also effective. [Sewer Rat Stomach Potion] C [Used sewer rat meat.] [Effect: Decrees resistance to the poison by 2% and inflict poison - Deals 2 damage for 15 seconds.] [Sewer Rat Ill Potion] C [Used sewer rat fur.] [Effect: Decrees SP by 15.] [Sewer Rat Mushroom Potion] [Restore 15 HP and inflict Poison - Deals 2 damage for 10 seconds.] The fur and the meat as well as mushroom, just like the description stated were indeed a harmful substances. The things I made were quiet half assed though. Well, they were experimental stuff, but still its not that bad if the half assed stuff I made is like that. Once I made a proper version, it should get better AND once I do hang of using them, I can start maybe mixing them up. Honestly, I began experimenting and improving the potions to the point that the normal potion had some decent poison damage. However, I did ended up wasting few ingredients. The rat stuff is bit more Delicant than I thought? But still, I at least got a hang of it. I did ended up using a lot of materials from get go. But good thing I have a lot of them stocked up. And if I do run out of them, I can go back to the sewers and hunt those rats again. This time, I have both higher level AND now I have a proper equipment, meaning that I won''t fuking spend hours in there. Anyway, I found out something interesting. By the look of things, the stuff from the rats seems very vurnable to the fire. So maybe the rats have a weakness to the fire as well? Well I do use a poison, so they are bad match up for me, but if I bring a torch or something, won''t I have easy time killing those rats? Huh. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FUKING USEFULL TO KNOW THAT BEFORE I WENT AND HUNTED THOSE BASTARDS! For fuck''s sake! Why the fuck the city guards didn''t said anything about that! It would make hunting. Wait, did they knew that these rats are weak to fire? Hm I wonder I wonder if I can sell this information to the yers and guards for some. Nah. It will make leveling up for the yers much faster if they find out about this and I don''t want it. But that doesn''t mean I cannot abuse this weakness. Wait a fuking second.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Doesn''t that mean I can just go on rampage in the sewers, get necessary materials for the gue creation and research and level up a lot? All in one go? Huh. That was Bit unexpected, but okay? Well, for now let''s focus on the alchemy and gues, since I''m already focused on it. The research to make the sewer rat poison stronger did however used up a lot of different materials and stuff. Not only the rat stuff, but I also mixed other stuff I had at hand, even the stuff rted to the healing potions to see different effects. I tried also mixing all the stuff from the sewers, mushrooms, fur, organ and meat and I got to say. Wow. This is nasty. [Sewer Rat Mixed Poison] [Rarity: Common] [A poison made out of entire sewer rat parts as well as other stuff to the point of creating this unhealthy poison.] [Effect: -Inflict poison C Deal 5 damage for every 1 second for 15 seconds.] (Huh. 5 damage for 15 seconds, that means 75 damage in total.) (It may not seem like much.) (HOWEVER!) (This is not refined version and its straight up the alpha version.) (In other words, I can make it better once I refined it and make it much stronger.) (Not only that, but that thing gave me a way more useful data than I though to the point it will make handling the rat materials much easier and I will be able to not waste so many materials, once I get hang of it and perfect it.) (And there is interesting through.) (What would happened if I mixed the already made perfected basic poisons together? Or what about mixing the potions with raw materials?) (It maybe possible to create something even deadlier or maybe something I''m aiming for.) (I think I''m finally getting somewhere.) (But this isn''t enough.) (For my n to work, I need something even much stronger that this thing about 3 times its power or something close.) (Usually, the yers starts with 10 health stat, meaning that they have 100 HP.) (The same goes for the NPCs.) (The higher level ones, even when not putting points, their health would be much higher.) (So, the 75 damage of total is not enough at all, I need something WAY stronger.) (Not only that, I need to research different type of poisons I can make, so I can experiment with them as well as practice gue making with them.) (The rat fur maybe be useful for the numbing poison.) (Maybe if I mix an improved version of the numbing poison alongside the perfect version of the sewer rat poison, I maybe able to create a gue that would extremely dangerous.) () "But fuck me." (I know that I had a lot of materials at the start and all, but I was doing those research for hours now.) (Creation poisons and potions is one thing, but gues are another since they end up eating both the poisons and potions that I use for the gue creation.) (But overall, I ended up way more materials than I through.) () (Making poison and potions is one thing, but making gues is another.) (I did ended up creating some good or interesting poisons AND I used them to create gues that ended up making me learn a lot about the gues.) (But that gue training as well as research to see what I can make is finally kicking in.) (I sacrificed a LOT of materials a lot of stuff for the gue training and research, but I think I get a good picture on how to make it the way I want. I still need to do few experiments regarding specific gue and use materials for testing, BUT I now at least know the basics and other stuff regarding gue creation.) (So. The gue creation training is over?) (Well, that is good, but I still need an poison that can be consider an real "Threat" to the people.) (I know how to refine the mixed sewer rat poison and all, but I need to test few other things and see other reactions as well as try to have different effects and mix different materials and potions together like numbing potion.) (Not only that, I need to make few more of each for the gue research and tests.) () "Well." "I know how and what to make." "I know where to aim." "I finally understand the basic of the gue crafting and some other stuff." "I got titles rted to the alchemy and my own alchemy rted skills leveled up a lot." "So the research today helped me to be much better alchemist AS WELL AS make me an proper gue maker." "So pretty much I should be able to handle alchemy, poison making and the gue making without much problem now." "" "But that entire training and experimenting to make me a better alchemist and the gue maker ended up using shit tons of stuff." "." "Yea I mean it was 100% worth it using everything like an idiot without the care. But I have no more materials" "." "Yea. I guess I will need to go back to the sewers soon than I nned." Chapter 15 – Why the hell I’m cleaning after them? [You have defeated: Sewer Rat C Level 24] "" (Huh. It really works.) (I brough some alcohol from the stores and made it into the Molotov''s by. I tried making one Molotov using it together with the rat, but by the look of things it would make Molotov weaker.) (So, I made these using only alcohol. These Molotov''s don''t have that high attack, I thought they would be well. Bit deadlier, well I did used a cheap alcohol and all, however they can set the things on fire with ease and these rats'' vulnerability to fire is more than I though. Just setting them on fire can deal a lot of damage AND the torch as well makes hunting much easier.) "And still, nobody is willing to hunt here Well, I''m not ming them, there are alternative hunting grounds and they don''t smell like a literally shit like this ce." (Still, thanks to that and to the newly discovered method of hunting these bastards, getting EXP and gathering materials is much easier now.) (Huh. I thought I would be bit longer here But at this rate I will be able to finish it faster than I thought?) () (Well, I think I still should hunt more.) (After I''m done with my research, I will need more materials to make an gues and all and stocking up more materials may be useful.) (So, it''s not exactly over yet.) (Still, I''m not even using my advantage of my levels or skills, I''m straight up exploiting the fact about the rat weakness.) (If people knew that just rubbing some mmable fluid on your weapons and then igniting them or just brining an torch would make you pretty much have an extremely easy time against them.) (Hm. Fuck.) (I will genocide these fuking rats.) (I will secure as many materials as I want and maybe level up one or twice while I''m at it.) Phantasia began walking around the sewers, killing the sewer rats'' monsters left and right with easy, getting materials from them in the process and also leveling up himself as well as some of his skills. Thanks to the city not attending the sewers properly or the yers hunting in here, there was way too many sewers'' rats living in here, but for the Phantasia it was extremely beneficial since he was able to horde everything for himself But he will probably need to take a bath or something, since he is starting to smell like the sewers. (FUCK!) (Fuck me! Why am smelling like shit?!) (Is it because I was fighting those rats nonstop?!) (I already hunted way more than before. Did they left their smell on me?) "Fuuukkkk." "Why????????" C Phantasia tried grabbing his face with his hands in sadness. "FUCK!" C Phantasia quickly moved away his hands after smelling them. "It was bad idea to do that!" "My hands somehow smells even. Well, I was using those ws and all. I was also using my hands nonstop with alchemy when I was using the rat materials." "Oh. FUCK ME!" (I really, and I mean REALLY need to get rid of this smell!) () () "Anyway, where the heck am I?"N?v(el)B\\jnn "No!" "This shouldn''t be a question!" "Why the fuck these sewers are like some sort of pseudobyrinth?!" (I mean, sure. This is a world of fantasy and all, BUT THIS IS AN CITY SEWERS!) (Not only that, from what I know, the rats weren''t here from the beginning and they moved in because they neglected.) () (Yea That does make sense that they FUKING neglected them if they made a freaking dungeon out of this ce!) (And why the fuck they made it like that in the first ce?!) (What kind of retard is in charge of this ce?!) (Now I''m really fuking motivated to destroy this entire city even more!) (For fuck''s sake.) (I mean, even if didn''t do anything, wouldn''t something like disease spread or something because of those rats?) (They have too much space and even easy time reproducing since nobody is hunting them.) (Honestly, I wouldn''t be surprised if these fuckers would somehow mutate or something with that entire fifth and grow evenrger, maybe bing bear sized.) (Well, let''s just hope it won''t-) Phantasia took turn right, but as soon as he did, he stopped because he saw a giaganting (Bear sized) rat eating the other sewer rat.

(No wait! Why the fuck the level 28 is here?! The rats have levels between 18-24!) (Oh wait This thing seem like cannibal So maybe it was eating its brethren to eat and grow stronger since you would get EXP when-) The rat monster turned around, noticing Phantasies. "" "Maybe I shouldn''t have spoken on the start." The bear sized rat rushed straight at Phantasia, forcing him to dodge and making the rat hit the wall and making some of its part crumble. "" (OKAY!) (HE IS NOT ONLY BEAR SIZED, BUT ALSO STRONG LIKE BEAR?! HOW DOES THAT-) The rat retracted its head from the wall and looked Phantasia again. However, when it looked towards him, Phantasia throwed an bottle of the alcohol, however the bottle wasn''t just a bottle, it was a Molotov and it was already set on fire. The bottle hit, shattered an on impact and instantly set the rat on fire. (Good. It should-) Suddenly the rat began chocking. "?" Momentter the rat began puking out a poison from its mouth, aiming at the Phantasia. "?!" "FUCK!" Phantasia quickly dodged the attack. () (Wait, why hell I did that for? I have a resistance against-) The wall that was hit by the poison began melting. "NEVER FUKING MIND!" (I may have resistance against poison and all, but that was an fuking acid just now! Would the poison resistance and defense works against THAT?!) (Well... Maybe? But I''m in no rush to find it out by getting hit!) "But why the fuck aren''t you dying?! You bear sized rat!" The bear sized rat rushed at the Phantasia, forcing him to dodge, but also creating an opening for him to use his ws to attack the rat. The attack connected, making the part of the rat flesh being carved of and making the rat itself scream in pain. (Good! It was effective! Now-) Suddenly Phantasia got hit by the rat tail and ended up being send flying before hitting the wall momentter. "?!" The burning rat monster rushed towards Phantasia, but then suddenly two giant rabbits jumped and kicked the rat in the face and stopped its charge. "Fuck me!" (If it wasn''t for the rabbits waiting behind me just case some rats attacked me from behind, I would probably get squished.) (Thank fuking god for that and the fact that I made the new equipment. Just how much damage would that deal?) Phantasia quickly fired with his crossbow, hitting the rat in the eye and making it squall in pain. "Get back and keep your distance!" Phantasia and the rabbits retreated while Phantasia was trying to quickly reload his crossbow. However, pissed off big rat just rushed towards them. "Michel! Andy! Rndo! Get him!" The rabbit monster rushed at the giant rat, but the giant rat brushed through them. It hit one of the rabbits with its ws, taking away huge chunk of its health. It then tried to finish off the wounded rabbit, but another crossbow bolt flew and hit the rat in the face. The angry rat looked towards Phantasia once again and quickly began running towards it, ignoring other rabbits, even the injured one. Phantasia ran away and quickly turned left, making the rat lose a sight of it, but when it tried to give a chase, the rat ended up encountering the skeleton servant a skeleton sewer rat. However, the rat easily crushed the summoned skeleton with its ws and began fighting against the rat, biting and shing it. But while it was distracted, another Molotov flew and ignited on the rat monster again. The rat screamed, but then it anger gave it straight to quickly destroy skeleton rat However as soon as it did that, Phantasia used two corpse of the rats he killed before to make 2 more skeletons. The two rats rushed toward the giant rat, but while that was happening, the rabbit monsters gave chase and got behind the giant rat. The rat was surrounded. Not only that, it was still burning, making the rat HP drop nonstop at rapid rate since its weakness to the fire was exploited by the Phantasia. However, the mindless rat didn''t cared and just rushed at the Phantasia, but as soon as it did that, something like a bee stings just hit the rat from the side and when it looked, it saw a small UFO floating near it that was shotting at it. [Summon: Float] [Skill type: Summoning] [Summon a turret like monster to your side that cannot move and will stay in one ce. The monster will disappear if you move too far away from it.] [The number of this monsters you can summon is 1 plus 1 for every 5th level this skill has.] The small toy like thing was barely doing any damage to the rat, but it did distracted it for the Phantasia to prepare the third Molotov and throw it at the rat, dealing again fire damage as well as exploiting the rat weakness, making its HP drop at rabid rate again. "BEAT HIM UP!" As soon as Phantasia set the rat on fire again, he ordered his monsters to attack. The weaker monsters like the float, soldier and the skeleton servants were quickly dealt with, but while it was being distracted with that, Phantasia fired a bone projectile or projectile filled with necrotic energy. When the rat tried to get to the Phantasia after dealing with the weaklings, but there were still skeleton rats and the bunnies that were standing its way, but while that was happening, Phantasia quickly rushed towards the rat monster and stabbed the monster right in the eye with its entire hand, making it ws dug into the monster undamaged eye and finishing off the monster. [You have in: Giant Sewer Rat.] [You have received EXP.] [You have leveled up.] "" (Holy fuking shit.) (I just killed boss solo.) (Well, not exactly solo, but still.) "ANYWAY!" "Why the fuck there was a bear sized rat in the sewers?!" "I mean sure I''m fuking happy and all that I managed to hunt it!" "BUT JUST HOW INCOPETEND THIS CITY IS TO LET SOMETHING LIKE THAT GROW IN HERE?!" (Well, maybe it''s the game setting or something, BUT STILL! WTF!) () () (Okay. Calm down.) (Let''s just ignore the fact that the city ipetence let to the bear sized rat being born here.) (And just review the situation.) (This giant rat was definitely boss monster of these sewers.) (Honestly, it was both fast, strong and has annoying tricks.) (Even though I''m not really a tank an I didn''t raised my vitality stat much or had defense oriented sses, I still had this new proper equipment. It''s not warrior equipment or something, but it was still good.) (But that fuking tail m dealt some damage to me.) C though Phantasia while drinking potion. (There is also the fact that I''m using multiple different sses and some of them are production sses, so I''m not really that powerful. There is also the fact that I was splitting my time between hunting and crafting so my skills levels didn''t level up much. Well, some of them did leveled up today thanks to hunting nonstop here and all, well the weakest attack spells level upSo.) () (Anyway, honestly, I would have gotten easily killed if I didn''t had my new equipment or the Molotov''s.) (If I wasn''t prepared, I would have probably died from get go.) (Honestly, I was lucking as well, since I remember inst moment that I killed the rats few moments ago around the corner.) (The skeletons They still sucks, but they can at least buy me some time.) (Still, that bastard took 3 Molotov''s, has its eye pierced with crossbow bolt, was hit with bone projectiles over and over, was kicked over and over by rabbits and all other stuff.)

If I wasn''t undead race, wouldn''t that straight up killed me?!) (Who the fuck designed this thing to be in starting area?!) (Or maybe it wasn''t developers'' fault but instead the city? They were neglecting the sewers for the long time. Honestly it could be both answers, but I think the city is more at fault? I mean, there is an army of those fuking rats in here!) (If it wasn''t for the fact that they are weak to the sun {information from the quest description} and the fire, this city would have already got destroyed or something!) (Jezus.) (I think I maybe be doing favor somebody at this point by aiming to destroy this stupid city.) "" (Anyway, the drops from the rat are all umon? Huh. This is interesting.) (The first umon item I got my hands on were my potions, but this is a first item I got my hands on that wasn''t made by me with umon rarity.) (It''s not really a weapon or something, but a materials.) (I can maybe create something nice with it!) (Oh wait!) (Maybe I can use it for the gue creation and I can.) () (Well. I may have enough for the gue creation, but I don''t think I have enough for suppling it... So. Yea. This n goes straight out of the winddown, I think?) (So, I can probably create one use potion? Well, a few with the amount of stuff I got, but that it?) (Oh wait. Maybe I can use those ws to make better w armor. But that it.) () "Wow Now that I take a look at it. Doesn''t this kind of sucks." "I mean, it does kind of make sense for these rats, but for the boss? For fuck''s sake." "I almost died, for this?!" "For fuck''s sake you son of a bitches!" "" "" (Let''s just.) () (Let''s just finishing hunting and get the fuck out of here.) (I''m so done with this ce.) Chapter 16 – Plague creation. After the encounter with the boss, I hunted bit more and secured good number of materials to the point I shouldn''t have worry abouting back here. But first Bath. I really smell like shit. After I took a bath that ended up taking some time to remove this stench Anyway, after I was FINLAY fuking clean, I went back to my base and began experimenting once again. The materials from the rat monster are the very first umon materials I got, but here is a problem. How the fuck do I use them? I mean, I can create a poison using them and maybe a gue, but I don''t have enough to supply the gue So, yea So pretty much I maybe have to think of other way of using those materials. The rat giant ws are quite useful. They are indeed quiet sharp and powerful and maybe I can use them to create a better version of my current w weapons. But as for the other materials, what should I do with them? The meat will definitely not something I can use to make armor or anything. AND DEFINITLY NOT A FOOD. The fur. Hm Maybe I can make it into the armor? It says that it has some resistance against blunt attacks. But won''t I smell like that rat in the process? There is also tail. What the hell I can use it for? Should I just turn it in to the guards and get some money? Nah. They would probably ask some questions. Well, I could y ignorant, so maybe I should been safe, but maybe it can be somehow used. I think? I mean its umon rarity, so maybe it''s not trash? Maybe? Yea Let''s maybe put this for side now. The one of the most important materials I got was definitely the poison organ. I already saw the potentials and the power of the regr rat poison organ, but this one is way more potent. I also saw it fuking vomit it to the point it was dealing acid damage to the stone wall and was even damaging it. A freaking stones. This thing Is probably extremely dangerous. But how do I use it? Can I only make something like limited time use poison? Hm. Fuck me. If only I had more of this stuff, I could have probably created a very nasty gue. But for now, let''s put it on the side and focus on the main task. gue creation. I have data regarding the rats'' materials. I have now better understanding of alchemy.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om I now know basic of the gue crafting and some more. I know how to have the alchemy and gue making work together. I have workshop and all necessary tools. I made sure I have enough materials, not only rat materials but also other materials. I''m ready. With the research data I have as well as the rat materials, I should be able to create a poison that I''m aiming for. Well, several poisons. Try to make some different if possible. AND I need to make few more of that numbing poison and try and make it better or mix it with the rat materials. So, I got to the work. I made many different poisons. Some of them were just made with single material while other werebined. I mixed potion and the raw materials together, getting new results and slowly approaching my goal. After mixing, changing, adjusting rations and other stuff. I managed to make a 3 extremely potent poisons. [Sewer Rat Deadly Poison] [Rarity: Umon] [An extremely dangerous poison that was made using sewer rat corpse.] [Effect: Apply poison C Deal 30 damage every second for 5 seconds.] [Sewer Rat Disease Poison.] [Rarity: Umon] [A deadly and unhealthy poison that possess the sewer rat specialty.] [Effect: Apply poison C Deal 5 damage every second for 1 minute.] [Annoying Numbing Poison] [Rarity: Umon] [A deadly poison that numbs one nerves and muscles.] [Effect: Reduce SP by 3 for every second for the duration of 20.] "Hm This is the best things I could get." (I reached the limit of the improved I made as well.) (yers have a 10 HP for each point of health stat.) (The yers starts with 11 points, meaning 110 HP.) (At level 20, they gain bonus 19 points, meaning 190 HP. Combine it with 110 and you get 300.) (The disease poison deals 5 damage every one second for 1 minute, meaning 60 seconds, so the poison with long duration can deal total of 300 damage.) (The disease poison may able to kill a yer in theory But they would recover some HP over time as well and they would probably put some points into health stat, so yea No way it can kill them and they can easily survive it.) "Well, I still DID made those rats poison reach its max poetical, but will be that enough? "The one with high damage output can deal 150 damage in total." "The numbing poison got better, it now makes the target lose 60 SP in total. The previous one had instant effect, but instead did 30. I mixed the sewer rat fur into the mix and it seemed to be the correct choice." "But It''s not enough. It''s nowhere near enough to be consider a real threat." "So. Yea" (The poison I produced both take time and uses a lot of stuff to make, but this is the best I could make.) (I thought I would at least produce something like rare rarity poison or something.) () (Well, maybe I would have, if I used giant rat materials, but I don''t have huge supplies of it.) "But will be this enough?" (I can modify the gue to make it longer and spread more easily, but it will make the effect much weaker.) (That''s why I made two different poisons.) (One with long duration.) (And the one with deadly power.) (The numbing poison was supposed to be cheery on top, but I was unable to make it any stronger.) (I guess I will have to give up on it and instead focus on the poison alone.) [gue Creation C Start] "Well, let''s see what we can make." I began experimenting using the poisons I made, trying to make the best gue I can do with my current abilities. In the end, this was the best thing I made after different tries. [Sewer Rat gue] [Starting Form: Smoke] [Effect: Deal 5 poison damage every second for the duration of 240 seconds.] [Properties: Infection C Corpse (Weak) C Spread infection from the corpse that were infected. / Infection - Air (Weak) C Can cause coughing that can infect others.] [Specia effect: cannot infect the maker.] "" "This is the best gue I could currently make." (The duration of the gue is 4 minutes, but the damage dealt is 5. I did ended up sacrificing the damage for the duration, but I think it was worth it? Well, there is also the case with the skill level being still low, but somewhat leveling up thanks to leveling up my ss, making the changes bit stronger somewhat, but a little bit.) (I tried making the infection stronger, making the gue spread more easily, but the problem was that it would reduce the effect of either damage output or the gue duration.) (Well, at least I managed to make 2 infections. They are not that strong, but they can help with the spreading the gue.) (The one person spreads the gue, infect to others, and then repeat. The first person ended up being cured, but one of the people they injected ended up infecting them.) "" "But will it do?" "The priest can heal and the they have potions." "If they made sure to get rid of the bodies and wear masks, they will probably make sure that the gue doesn''t spread that fast or people wouldn''t get infected." (This gue is too weak and it''s not enough destroy that city.) (It can cause several damage, if they don''t realize it from the start and don''t know how the gue is spreading.) (But once they do know how it spreads, the gue will be not as effective.) (I could somewhat make the gue stronger, thanks to investing ss points into the [Chaos Researcher], but even so, because of the materials I have on my hand, the gue creation is very limited.) () (Can''t I really destroy that city?) (Spreading...) (.) (Wait.) (Why I should just spread the gue?) (If I go around the city, spreading poison I made, I should be able to make them unable to deal with the gue in meantime and have it spread poison around and make them unable to think about dealing with the gue.) (But then people would realize that the gue was doing of somebody.) (Even if I wear a mask, people will realize that the guy going on the rampage in the middle of the city is the culprit.) "" "But would that be enough?" "Going on the rampage from the get go may not be a good idea. It would have been an.?!" (Distraction!) (Wait a bloody second!) (Can''t I just spread some fake informations that it was rats doing?!) (If I spread a fake info, they will think that the source of the gue are the rats in the sewers and they will try to get rid of the gue by getting rid of the rats. But it will be other way around!) (I can spread some of the gue underground and make it look like its real deal. The rats do have resistance to the poison damage and resistance, so having being infected will not bother them, but instead make them stronger!) (On top of that, I may have one interesting piece of fake evidence that may convince them.) Chapter 17 – Plague has started. [At the city.] "Hey man. Did you heard about that new hunting spot?" C asked the male dark elf yer. "You mean the one giant slimes? Fuck me. Its annoying." C said orc yer. "Well, apparently it''s not." "?" "What the hell are you talking about?" "Well, apparently those slimes are weak to magic, so if you- " Suddenly in front of the pair of yers, an elderly dark elf copsed. "?" "Hey are you okay?!" C said the panicking dark elf yer while getting on his knees to check on the copsed NPC. "?!" "What the hell?!" "?" "What is it dude?" C asked the orc yer while approaching his friend. "?" [You have been infected with gue.] "?!" "Wait! A gue!?" "Hey!? What the hell?!" C shouted a yer. "H-help me!" C begged the NPC. "?!" The orc yer looked around, as a sudden chaos and confusion erupted around him. "W-wh-what?!" "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" C shouted the orc yer. In the different parts of the city, people were being found death in many different locations of the city. The corpse were found either killed with many different methods and the people that were killed were just regr citizens. However, upon discovering the corpse, the people around the corpse would get infected with some sort of gue and the gue would spread around the injected, creating a chain reaction in different parts of the city, making the mysterious gue spread at rapid rate. Before long, many yers and NPCs were injected. The gue wasn''t that strong, but the problem was that the people could infect each other over and over again, making the people unable to get rid of the negative status. Before long, a special quest was created. [Special quest was generated.] [Quest: Spreading gue] [The gue has infected the city of the Mim and nobody knows where it came from or what caused it, but the people are getting injected and there were already some casualties.] [-Help the people in need that have been afflicted with the gue or try to prevent it from spreading.] [-Try and find out the origin of the gue.] [Depending on your contribution, you will receive rewards.] "!?" "A quest suddenly popped up?" C said a random yer. "Wait, you too? Did you got a quest rted to the gue?" "Yea! Wait, is it some sort of event?!" "" (Huh.) Phantasia was hiding in some random corner, looking at the quest. (I thought it would be possible and all, considering that the quest was generated or maybe made by that city guard capitan regarding the rats, but I really did ended up creating a quest?) (Well, the gue was already on going on rampage for whole day, so there is no surprise really. It honestly would be more surprising if they didn''t took any actions after an day had passed.) (The NPCs I murderer and injected them with the gue did their job.) (The city is currently in the state of panic and the gue is spreading nicely.) (However, people are still somehow managing.) (I guess I will need to murder few more NPCs and have their corpse spread the infection even more.) (So, lets get to the work.) While everybody was busy with the unknown gue spreading, I found some random NPCs while nobody was watching and murdered them before the leaving their infected corpseying around, making it very easy to find and have it spread the gue around. However, since the gue would take too long to kill people, I had to personally murder them, making it known for the people that it was somebody doing. A negative effect. Or so may seem. If anything, it beneficial to me. It was already a second day after the gue spread and now, its time to add something to the mix. [At the city barracks.] "SIR!" C shouted a soldier that entered the room. "What is it?" C asked the orc garrison capitan. "An adventure who said to know you says that he may know the origin of the gue." "?!" "An adventurer that knows me?" C asked the orc. "Yes! He said that. He said that he will be waiting at the barracks. He is right in the lobby." "" "Lead the way." The orc fallowed the soldier through the barracks, getting to the lobby located in the barracks. "?" "Hey. Who the hell are you? Are you the adventurer that wanted to meet me?" C asked the orc after meeting the strange yer that was wearing a mask. "Hm? Oh. Sorry. Forgot to take it off." C said the man while taking off the mask. "?!" "Hey wait a second. You are that adventurer that was dealing with the sewer rats." C said the orc. "Yeb. That''s me. Sorry for wearing an mask, but I didn''t wanted to get infected as well as for other reasons, but now there is need to wear it anymore." "" "You said that you know something about the gue, is that truth?" "Yea. Its bit long story though, but I have some things that you need to see." "" "Fallow me." C said the orc. Phantasia fallowed the orc through the barracks until he arrived at his private room where he and some other guards were present. "I will just skip through everything and ask you straight." C said the orc. "" "What do you know?" "" Phantasia took out a gue doctor mask from his inventory and put this on the table. "?" "A mask?" C said the orc. "Yea. To more precisely a gue doctor mask." C said Phantasia. "Let me exin." "As you know, I''m an adventurer, but I''m also an alchemist and I was even doing even potion selling business few times." "Do you remember when I came to you to deliver you those rat tails?" "Yea. I remember." "Well, after I gave you those rat tails, I was wondering what to do with the stuff I got from the rats." "Honestly, they were extremely nasty and all, so I doubted they would even sell well." "So, I tried messing around and maybe see if I can use them for alchemy or something." "And as it turned out, I can." "I was able to create poisons." "It wasn''t very strong poison or anything, but the rat materials were quiet good for practicing my alchemy skills, even though the poison sucked, I was getting an interesting data and they were good for practicing alchemy." "However unfortunately, I ran out of them recently and tried going back to the sewers." "But then I couldn''t found a single rat near the entrance. Last time I was there, even the area near entrance wasn''t safe or anything." "I though at first that somebody maybe finally took that rat quest or something. But then, when I finally encounter the rats, I was injected with the gue." "?" "You found the gue in the sewers?" C asked the orc. "Yea. The rats were carrying them." "Not only that, when I tried going back, I was attacked by some sort of giant sewer rat." "I have its tail as evidence, can I?" "Yea." Phantasia took out the giant sewer rat tail an put it on the table. "!" "" "Yea. This is definitely not a tail of your average sewer rat." C said the orc after inspecting the tail. "Yea I almost got killed." "Honestly, I think the only reason why I survived was thanks to my necromancy as well as the fact that I had natural defense against poison, since I''m undead." "But still, that thing was a beast." "Its acid was able to melt a freaking stone walls." "Not only that, it was also spreading that gue around." " Are you saying that those rats are the source of the gue?" C asked the orc. "Yes. But they were not the original like that." "After I killed that giant rat, I found out some weird group of people, wearing those gue doctors'' masks." "No questions or anything, they just Exploded?" "They saw me and they just exploded, spreading that weird liquid around. That was quiet confusing" "However, then the rats came out of all directions." "Honestly speaking, I couldn''t win against them and was forced to hide." "I kind of ended up being stuck in those sewers for entire day while trying to survive those gue bearing rats as well as some of these bigger rats that were after me, but when I finally did came out, I found out about that gue taking ce in the city." "I don''t know who these people are or anything, but it seems that they are using these rats to make sure that the gue is keep being spread through the city." "" "Is everything you said is true?" C asked the orc with serious voice. "Well, by the look of things, yes." "Honestly, I didn''t even knew that this gue was rampaging in the city until I finally managed to escape." "I wasst time in the sewers, but there was nothing like that." "I heard that the corpse were found around the city and that how people first encountered the gue." "But I believe that it was a distraction." "A distraction?" C asked the orc. "Yes." "I think they wanted people to believe that the gue is spreading from the corpse, while in reality it was doing of those weird people who infected the rats and the sewers." "The gue is maybe spreading from the corpse, but they probably. No." "They intentionally maybe let you discover these corpse, so you wouldn''t think about the real source of the gues." "They are using the city sewers and the sewer rats to spread the gue." "If that wasn''t the case, then why would they spread the gue in the sewers, before the gue outbreak happened on the surface?" "" "So You are saying that the only way to truly stop the gue, is to kill every single rat in the sewers?" C asked the orc. "Its possible solution, but then there is also the question of these people." C said Phantasia while lifting the gue doctor mask. "Who were they?" "I took this mask from one of the corpse. The other mask that those weird people wore werepletely melted by that weird fluid that they spread from their body when they blew up." "Honestly, this was the only thing that I managed to recover from their remains." "There maybe bit more in the sewers, but those rats were too much for me and I had to run away as I exined before." "But these people were definitely the culprit behind the gue." "However, they decided to take their own lifes, just because I saw them?" "The giant rat. The gue that wasn''t originally first found on the surface but instead sewers and those weird people. Honestly I was even wearing that mask when I got here to hid my identity since I didn''t knew if they saw me or something, so I kind of did that mostly not to protect myself from the gued but you know, defend myself from those weird people if they recognized me or something." "" "That is all I know." "" "Thank you." C said orc. "Thanks to you, we at least now know the origin of the gue." "There is still a lot to investigate, but if the sewer rats were really made the gue carrier like you said, then we cannot stand idly." "Thank you. The Mim city shall now forget your deed." "We shall also reward you for this very important information as well as the evidence you provided." "No problem. If anything, I really want to end this gue, since it''s bad for business." The two men shaked their hands. However, one of them was trying to hide a malicious smile behind their fake expression. (NICE!) (YOU FALLEN FOR IT!)

[Alex Mim C The mayor of the Min city and its ruler.] "Yes." C said the orc. "The report from the adventure seemed to be urate." "We found the traces of the gue in the sewers as well as we have some of the stuff, he gave us as a proof. The mask and the tail of the giant sewer rat." "The adventurer ims seem to be real." "If his theory is correct, then the gue on the surface is distraction and the real source of infection are the sewers rats that are in our sewers." "If so, no matter what we do on the surface, it won''t do anything as long as those rats are down there." "Hm I see." "But. Do you have any idea who these masked individuals are?" C asked the noble man. "No." "I looked into the criminal wanted posters and other stuff, but I found nothing." "I also checked the mask, but it''s an simple mask." "Well, ording to that guy report, they blew themselves up, so it wouldn''t make sense for their mask to be special or something." "He said that they are gue doctor masks that are used by doctors during the gue in order not to get infected with the gues and it kind of makes sense for them to wear it, since well, they are getting directly in contact with gues." "Maybe they just wore those masks to protect themselves and also hide their identity? They did blew up and turned into goo." "We don''t know who were they or what race they belonged to, but that guy said that there may be some evidence left behind." "He said he was only able to retrieve the mask, but maybe there was a chance that something else was there." "" "What do you think we should do, Dumdo?" C asked the noble man. "" "We cannot ignore the current situation with the sewers." "We confirmed that the gue is present the sewers, so I believe that his theory is correct and until we exterminate those rats, the gue will keep spreading, no matter what we do." "" "I understand." "Then this is my official order." C said the noble man. "Spread the news around and post a quest to get rid of those rats! I know that people weren''t taking the rat extermination quest, so spread for each rat you exterminate, the contribution you make in the crisis shall be bigger." [The quest has been updated.] [The news about the possible source of the gue was found out.] [Apparently, the real reason why the gue spread so fast around wasn''t because of the victims that died but instead somebody had infected the rats with it.] [You will receive contribution point depending on how many sewer rats you kill.] [You will receive contribution points depending on what you would discover in the sewers and report it to the city garrison.] (Huh.) (They moved way faster than I though.) C though Phantasia while hiding in some random corner. (Well, no matter.) (People will probably get greedy for the rewards and head straight to the sewers, even yers with much higher level than those rats.) (However, there are two problems with those rats.) (The first is that I infected them with my gue.) (And the second problem is that those rats are quiet dangerous when they get near you, poisoning you.) (The rats however have an very simple and easily exploited weakness being fire of any king, being it just an torch or an Molotov. Even probably basic fire magic would do the trick and make hunting rats more easily.) (However, the people will find out eventually when some fire mage would start hunting those rats, so it''s not really weird for them to find about it from get go.) (Anyway, I guess I should get slowly ready for the next part of the n.) Before, most of the people tried doing various stuff, trying to make sure that the gue would not spread or something. The people with the biggest contribution at the time were alchemists or the supporters. Even the shitty healing potion was important in this situation and some people even ended up learning priest ss since they wanted to gain more contribution points. However, after the mayor of the city published the news as well as changed the quest a little, almost everybody wanted to hunt those rats. Because of that, majority of the yers that were helping on the surface, rushed towards the sewers. However, this ended up creating some problems for the surface, with theck of people helping out the people that were infected. The alchemist did stayed alongside the some of the priest, but most of the yers headed straight to the sewers. And that was the worst mistake they could make, since now the city was UNPROTECTED. [At one of the hospitals in the city.] "Shit. Hey! Do you have any potions left?" C asked orc priest yer that was healing a patient. "Yea! But I''m shortly running out of the healing potions." C said the goblin alchemist yer. "Shit! Even most of the priest left us behind. How the hell we will manage it?!" C said dark elf pries yer. "I don''t know, but we need to." "Excuse me." C said the voice from behind. "?" Some of the yers turned around and saw a man the man wearing a leather gued mask doctor wearing a furry coat and a pair of long de fingers. "Em. What with that get up?" C asked confused goblin alchemist. "I get the gue doctor mask and all, but Never mind. Are you here to help?" "Well, I''m an "Doctor", so I kind of needed to go to the hospital since Well, I''m a freaking doctor." C said the man wearing the gue doctor mask. "Oh. Wait, you are like a real doctor?" C asked the orc priest. "Well, more like a name I gave myself?" "Eh?" "What is that supposed to mean?" C asked annoyed goblin yer. "Well, this." "[Poison Smoke]." The man suddenly spread a poison smoke around the room, hitting both the yers and the patient were hit with it. "?!" "Hey! What are- " Before goblin yer could finish speaking, he was decapitated. After the goblin yer died, the masked man rushed at the dark elf priest and stabbed him in the chest with his ws, killing him before then rushing at the orc yer. The orc tried swinging its staff around to defend himself, but a bullet of poison hit him right in the face when he was trying to survive. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" C screamed the orc yer. However, the orc yer wasn''t suffering for long since he ended up being murdered by the man ws. "Hey, don''t worry." C said the man while approaching the patient. "You will soon join them." The patient tried to run away, but it was no use. The gue and the poison was eating their bodies while the mad man ran around and began killing everybody, showing no mercy what so ever. Before long, the whole hospital was covered in screams and poison. However, after some time passed, the screams stopped and the masked man walked out of the back entrance of the building. (Huh.) (That was way easier than I though.) C though Phantasia. (Well, maybe it''s all thanks to the titles I got recently AND this new equipment I made.)

(I did gained some titles for deceiving that orc and starting the gue, but. Oh wait.) (I''m doing some big actions.) (Murder, deceive and gue.) (So I guess because of my current actions, I''m getting titles nonstop?) (.) (Wait a fuking moment.) (If I''m correct. Wouldn''t I get a lot of titles after I destroy this ce with my gue?) "" "OH SHIT! NOW I''M SO FUKING MOTIVATED!" Chapter 19 – 2 down, 1 more to go. (One of the key locations of the city, the hospital is down and now its new source of gue.) (But this is not enough.) (The gue can spread through coughing and all, but the effect is far too weak. I even tested it on some rabbits to see how much and it was. Quite pathetic. It''s another way to infect people, but its'' not really that strong and people would need to be very close to each other to get infected.) (So, the best way to spread is using corpse.) (In other words, the best way to do it is to kill people and destroy some buildings while also infecting it.) (I also have some other. "TOOLS" that may make things bit more nastier.) (Before I infected the city and the sewers, I looked a bit around and found few locations that I kind of need to take care of.) [City garrison] C [The ce where the city guards are stationing and its their base of operation.] [Hospital] C [The ce where they will take care of the sick.] [The mayor mansion] C [The ce where the head of the city lives.] (With the hospital gone, the sickness will spread more.) (However, to ensure that the "Real Chaos" urs, I need to spread the gue and chaos in some random locations as well as take down the two other key locations, making the control in the city be chaotic.) (But, thanks to the situation with the sewers, everybody is focused on them, leaving the ce not that very much guarded, ALLOWING ME TO ROAM FREELY!) (But there are still some guards and yers left, so I shouldn''t walk around without much care. YET.) (The question is, with one should be my next target?) (Guards? Or the mayor?) "" (Guards.) (They are currently stretched thin, since they are trying to protect the city and helping the civilians and also helping out with the sewers problem. Thanks for the info garrison capitan! Friends are so useful and I was even one who suggested the idea with him sending his forces to observe the sewer entrances in case the rats try to escape or those "Conspiracies" that I made up appear!) (The barracks arepletely unguarded and once they are gone, the guards will lose their base of operation, making their control much weaker!) (And if I spread the gue in there, it will make things even more interesting.) (But as for the mayor I didn''t had any ess to the building or anything like that and only saw two orc guards standing guard.) (All I know about him is that he isn''t some stupid greedy noble from the garrison capitan and that he is a dark elf and he isn''t stupid or anything. And that pretty much is that.) (Theck of the information is bit bothering, but if I want to seed with my n, that ce need to go.) (As soon as the second location is destroyed, the people will realize that something is wrong AND it will be time to start spreading the gue around even further.) (And that will give me an opportunity to attack the mayor mansion during this chaos!) (So. Lets get to the work.) Nobody really paid much attention to me, even with my new weird equipment, since people just though I just wanted to dress up, since I was wearing an gue doctor mask and even people who asked me about it, I just replied that it was item that had some resistance again poison and diseases. I wasn''t wrong or anything nor did I lied to them But I didn''t told them that the reason I was wearing it was so that I can kill themter on. I wonder what faces they will make once I kill them and realize that they just talked to the murderer and the culprit? They will probably have an interesting reaction. But for now, they don''t need to know. For "Now" that is. So honestly speaking, nobody minded me walking around the streets. Oh well, better for me. Before long I got to the barracks. "Hm? Hey stop there." C said the dark elf guard. "Sorry, but no visitors Wait a second A bird- " Before the guard could finish speaking, Phantasia quickly stabbed the man in the neck with his ws before removing them. The man tried to gasp for the air, but the poisoned ws that were additionally coated with poison made quick work of the guard, making him drop death. After quickly dealing with the guard, Phantasia headed to barracks and quickly entered the building. "?" "Hey. Who- " When one of the guards that was in the barracks tried to say something, Phantasia threw vials around, making them shatter in different parts of the room, releasing the gue in the form of the smoke. "?!" "H-hey?! What the fuck is going on?!" C asked the goblin guard. "''Cough'' I don''t- " Suddenly the crossbow bolt flew at hit one of the guards in the forehead and few momentster a poison bullet flew at the guards present in the room alongside some of the personal before Phantasia fired [Poison Smoke] skill, covering the room in poison. The knights tried fighting back, but the gue and the poison was doing too much and Phantasia easily dispatched the guards left and right, leaving nobody alive. Before long, Phantasia began walking on the empty corridors of the city barracks and filling it with gue while killing everybody he encounter with poison and gue, making so that nobody was even properly defend this ce. And after some time passed, the remaining people that were at the barracks were killed and the gue ended up consuming the city barracks. There was no mercy, but only corpse were left behind in the corridors that were filled with poison and gue, making the barracks be the second source of gue inside the city. After having the barracks being consumed by the gue, Phantasia left the area using the back entrance.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om (Huh.) (This went bit easier than I though.) (Well, everybody is doing the job, since there is a literally gue going on rampage and all, so it wouldn''t make sense that there would be many people left in the barracks or something and honestly, I nned it that way, but still I thought it would be bit harder?) (Well, I did got a power up from the titles and all. Well. Never mind.) (But still, thanks to the fake information I provided and the gue, the guards are spread everywhere, making my job way easier.) (And now that their base of operation is gone as well as hospital are destroyed.) (It won''t take for the chaos to erupt and the guards will get rmed, but with the current situation already, they will have hard time organizing or anything.) (AND NOW ITS TIME TO PUT ONE OF THE NAILS INTO THEIR COFFINS!) THE LAST TARGET: MAYOR MANSION. ITS TIME TO MURDER THE MAYOR. (The hospital was easy target since yers left it to hunt in the sewers and the barracks were easy target because the all the guards were busy with the gue.) (But what about the mayor house?) (Since he is important person and all, I doubt that they are going to just be at easy since they don''t want him to get infected and want him to be alive in order to keep the city order.) (Probably the defenses around the mansion got strengthen.) (Well I still have "Those" things that I haven''t used yet, so I should somewhat manage. Not only that, even though the titles I got were quite weak, I got multiple of them and that made me quiet much stronger than I though.) (I can do this!) () (I can hear somemotion on the streets all the way from here.) (I guess the chaos will soon start and the guards will probably inform the capitan about it, but it will take time for him to take any actions.) (But before that happens, I need to kill the mayor and infect his mansion so the infection of the city can start for real and I can start thest part of my n.) "Let''s go." I headed straight towards the mayor mansion. On my way, I saw the yers and NPCs panicking, since not only 2 mayor buildings were destroyed, but now they have became new source of the gues thanks to me spreading it around in there and letting the corpse rot. Even if the guards are stretched thin, they will probably get together and inform the capitan and the other higher ranking officers in the city aroused what happened inside the city while they were watching over the sewers. But it will take time to gather the guards, since they are stretched everywhere around the city, trying to save it from the gue and helping civils. AND they also have 2 giant idents with their buildings. With the hospital gone, the patience had nowhere to go and not only that, the building itself now infects people instead of helping them. There is also the barracks that the city guards were using. Now they lost one of the key location to operate inside the city and it also had be a second new source of gue. They will have hard time doing anything or taking any proper action for some time, since inside the city will be hindering them. Pretty much, I don''t have to worry about the guards, but that doesn''t mean I have infinity time, so I got to hurry. However, there is ast problem. The mayor. With him being still all good two shoes, he will probably help and make sure that the casualties are kept to the minimum while also trying to maintain the control somewhat. So, I have to kill the "Head" of the city if I want to make it bleed to death. As long as he lives, the city order will be somewhat maintained, even during this chaos. AND I DON''T WANT THAT. He will die. I will make sure of that. And then the chaos consume this ce. "?" "HEY!" C shouted an orc guard that was guarding the gate leading to the mayor mansion. "Sorry sir, but you are not allowed to take another step." C said the other orc while pointing his Halbert at the Phantasia. "The building is on the lock down and without the special permission, you will gain no ess." "Oh." "Don''t worry. I have it." C said Phantasia while putting his hand in his coat. "Here!" Phantasia took out a bottle containing the gue and threw it at the orcs feets, making it break and release the gue. "!?" "[Poison Shot]!" Phantasia instantly shot a bullet of poison at the orc, hitting him, but also provoking them. The other orc guard rushed at the Phantasia and was ready to swing, but. "[Sticky Goo]." Phantasia fired a green goo at the rock, hitting him and covering him with it. "!?" "What the fuck is this stuff?!" C said the orc. [Sticky Goo] C [Poison Mage] skill [Shot out a goo that slows down the enemy movement and additionally lower their movement speed even more.] [This skill doesn''t do any damage.] "[Acid Ball]!" "!" Before orc could have reacted, a ball of acid flew at orc and hit him right in the face. Exactly momentter, the orc began screaming as his face was burned with the acid. The other orc rushed at the Phantasia, but before he could do that, Phantasia shot with his crossbow at the orc, forcing him to dodge. However, momentter, a poison cloud arrow flew at him, hitting him and creating a small cloud of poison. ''Cough'' ''Cough'' "FUCK!" "Where are you fucker?!" C said the orc while swinging his Halbert around, trying to clear the smoke. "?!" (Wait! Where is he?!) C though the orc, after noticing that the man was missing. "" "?!" The orc finally spotted the man and he was right near him, stabbing his friend to death with his poison coated ws. "!" "YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" C shouted the orc while running towards Phantasia. "" C Phantasia looked calmly at the orc. "[Poison Spray]." Phantasia spray a poison in cone shaped attack, hitting the orc, but not stopping the pissed off orc that counties charging at him. However, as soon as the orc got close to, he was straight up punched in the face. "?!" The orc ended up stopping charging because of the sudden punch, but then he was stabbed right in the throat with ws, before then having the ws being removed, but poisoning the orc in two ways, well technically 3 ways since he was infected with gue. 3 infections and lethal wound did the job and the orc dropped death. "" (Tough bastards.) (Tougher than guards.) (Well, make sense and all, since that guy is pretty important and all.) (So, I guess I will have bit harder time in here.) (But still they weren''t able to resist the poison.) (Not only that, I''m getting more and more titles and some of them are ranking up.) (I boosted my intelligent for my spells and agility and strength for fighting at close range.) (Well, even if I don''t stick with the close range forter, the bonus agility and strength will be useful for crafting process, so I''m not losing anything.) () (Anyway, the guards are dead.) (And now, its time to kill the "Head" of the city!) Chapter 20 – Mayor mansion. {{Note from author}} {{The + rank titles like G+ were removed as well as G and F ranks, since there was straight up too many ranks the titles could get. I realized that there would be too much, so the titles are from F -> E -> D -> And so on.) (Okay. Time to.) () (Hm. Now that I think about. Won''t that guy escape or something?)n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om (This ce isn''t like hospital or the barracks, where there are barely anybody guarding it.) (And the guards at the entrance weren''t that weak...Hm.) () (Well, good thing that I came prepared.) C though Phantasia while taking out bottles from his inventory. Phantasia walked around the mansion entrance, getting right near one of the windows before shattering it and then quickly throwing a Molotov. After shattering one of the winddowns, he began running, shattering another window and throwing another molotovs and again and again. However, the sound of shattering windows did rmed the people inside the mansion and before long, people find out about the fire inside the mansion. But, when one of the guards opened the rooms, it wasn''t the fire that greeted them but the gue smoke and the other room was just straight up filled with poison gas from the shattered vales. "Shit!" "Close the doors!" C shouted the guard before shutting the door. "Everybody! Go outside and check who is the bastard who is throwing the stuff inside!" "Yes sir!" C shouted remaining mansion guards. The guards began trying to calm the situation, but then after a long pause of no breaking, a sound of another winddown breaking could be hearding from the back and instantly the guards rushed it there. After they got here, they quickly opened the door. However, as soon as they did, the guard who opened it was stabbed right in the neck with ws. The other knifes stared in silence as one of them suddenly was stabbed and then dropped to the ground while trying to grasp for the air. Momentter, Phantasia came out the room and fired a poison attack at the guards before running away. (OH SHIT!) C though Phantasia while running away. (I though there would be less of them here!) (I guess they were extremely wary to the point they rushed to the location I broke in.) (Fuck me.) (Those guys aren''t some random mobs or idiots.) "Hey! Who are you?!" C shouted the guard that was standing in the corridor, blocking the path. "" Before long Phantasia got near the man and quickly threw the bottle of poison at the guard, forcing him to dodge in order not get it. But when he did that, Phantasia shed him in the face before running away. (TCH!) (I can deal with them, but it will take too long! I need to kill the mayor before he escapes!) (I''m running out of time.) "[Tame Summon] [Summon: Skeleton Servant] [Summon: Skeleton Sewer Rat] [Summon: Soldier] [Summon: Float]." Phantasia stooped for the moment and summoned all of his monsters in the hall way. "Deal with them." Phantasia send his monsters after the guards while continue running through the halls of the mansion. (These monsters are weakling at best they will only slow them down, but its fine.) (Right now they have monsters, fire, gue and poison in the mansion, creating a chaotic situation.) (But it will only buy me time.) (The fire isn''t strong or the poison since its more about covering the area thing, meaning its very weak in reality to the point they can just ran through without suffering any real damage in the process.) (The n is to find the mayor and to murder him before escapes.) (It doesn''t matter if I kill everybody in this mansion and inject it, but as long as that bastard lives, this city has a hope.) (But the question where he is.) (This mansions has two floors.) (I doubt he is on the first floor, since they would have probably evacuated him.) (That means he must be on the other floor.) (I need to find the stairs.) Phantasia ran down the corridor, encounter another guard and the maid, but he quickly fired his [Poison Shot] at him, before then dodging his attack when he tried to retailing and then shing his throat. The maid failed on the ground, scared. But she was unharmed. When she looked, she saw Phantasia just running away. (Ingor servants, they are just waste of time.) (Fuck! Where the hell are stairs?!) Phantasia kicked the doors that were standing in his way and he ended up entering the main hall. "?!" (Oh. I idently got here!) (STAIRS!) "HOLD!" (And guards. Yea, I don''t have any means of just running past them.) (I guess I need to kill them.) "[Poison Smoke]!" Phantasia fired a poison smoke towards guards on top of the stairs. (And now-) One of the guards jumped from the stairs with his axe in hand. "?!" Phantasia quickly dodged, right before the orc guard could have hit him. (OKAY! THAT TOOK ME-) Suddenly somebody swinged a sword at Phantasia, forcing him to block with his gloves, getting hit before then getting pushed, but quickly getting on his feets in panic. "" (Okay. That Actual hurt?) (Oh fuck.) (Of course since things were going too easy I have now to deal with some bullshit!) (What did I ever done to deserve this?) The guards began rushing at the Phantasia after leaving the poison fog. (Oh shit.) One of the guards tried attacking Phantasia with his sword, but Phantasia quickly dodged and punched the man in the face before then trying to go for his throat, but then spear came at him from the goblin guard, forcing him to dodge again before he couldnd a lethal blow. (FUCK!) "GO FUCK YOURSELF!" C shouted Phantasia before throwing vales of gue at the guards, making it spread around. The gue began filling the small space between him in the guards, allowing Phantasia to quickly retreat and gain some space. (Okay. This isn''t good.) (I didn''t let those guards outside hit me once, but they were able to take hit.) (But those guys? Fuck me. They have good reaction time.) (Not only that, Inded an solid blow on that guy, but he wasn''t taken aback.) (Shit.) (I wanted to quickly stab him with the ws that were coated with the poison and deal lethal wound as well, but it was impossible.) (Fighting at close range when I don''t have any sses rted to it will be bad idea against them.) (Fuck me.) (I don''t want to prolog the fight at all, since I need to get past them ASAP!) (I still have "That" thing left, but how the hell do I use it?!) (Should I just throw it. Nah I will definitely fuck up. I''m not some sort professional crossbow user or something or I training anything like that. So, I will definitely fuck up and just waste it.) (Fuck me.) "" The guards charged again. "?!" "Hey! TIME OUT!" C shouted Phantasia while dodging the spears and swords. (OKAY! WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO?!) (IF I COULD. Wait a second.) Phantasia took out a ss bottle from his coat, before then smacking it against one of the guard''s face. The knight was hurt, but then he suddenly grabbed his face and began screaming in pain, to the point that other guards looked towards him. After smashing the bottle, the man ws were now covered in the weird substance that was just seconds ago inside the bottle. Phantasia shed one of the guard''s face and momentster, the guard also began screaming in pain. The reason why the guards are screaming IS because of the liquid. But the question is, what is it? The answer: Sewer rat poison. But not a normal one. The poison made using the giant sewer rat materials, including its poison acid. (The poison acid will do the trick, but it''s not enough!) (They are now warry since two of them got downed by it.) (But I need to fuking kill them now or something before the mayor escapes!) Phantasia took out another bottle of the giant sewer rat poison and threw it at the guards, but they quickly dodged it, but then one of the guards that dodged it ended up running towards Phantasia, trying to hit him with his axe, forcing Phantasia to back away. However, when he stepped on the spot Phantasia was just seconds ago, a magic circle appeared on the ground. "?!" [Poison Trap] C [Poison Mage] skill. [Set up a trap that when activated will release a powerful poison cloud that poisons the enemies.] The poison smoke spread from the ground, covering the orc view as well as poisoning him. After the trap was triggered, Phantasiaunched his ws towards the guard throat and quickly stabbed him. (GOT HIM!) Phantasia tried retracting his ws after stabbing the orc, but then orc suddenly grabbed his arm. "?!" Suddenly the goblin rushed in with the spear in his hands and stabbed Phantasia right in the side. "?!" "FUCKER!" "[ACID BALL]!" Phantasia fired a ball of acid at the goblin, hitting him right in the head and forcing him to back way. Phantasia then quickly grabbed the spear and pulled it out before then punching Orc in the face with all his strength, making him lose his grip and then quickly retract his ws before backing away. (FUCK ME!) (Hended a solid-) (WAIT!) (WHERE IS THE LAST ONE?!) Suddenly a sword came straight at Phantasia blind spot and before he could react, he was shed across his chest. "!" "MOTHERFUCKER!" Phantasia quickly kicked the dark elf guard, backing him away. (FUCK!) (This isn''t good!) (A solid hit after another?! How is that fair?!) (But calm down.) (There is only 1-) Suddenly, somebody from corridor entered the corridor. It was just a servant But he brough mansion guards with him. "" (Oh you got to be fuking kidding me. Did they beat the monsters?!) (Okay! FUCK THAT!) "Angelo!" "What the fuck you are waiting for! Kill the mayor now!" C shouted Phantasia. "?!" The dark elf looked to his right, thinking that the mayor was in danger because they may have been a second assant. But in reality, there was nothing like that. It was a bluff. An effective one at that to the point that the worried dark elf ended up forgetting about the Phantasia for a second, allowing him to quickly close the distance. The dark elf realized that the masked man close the distance and tried swinging his sword, but Phantasia quickly shed the man face with his ws, but not making the elf miss his attack andnding attack his shoulder. However, Phantasia didn''t even cared to finish the elf and just pushed him to the side before taking the stairs as the other mansion guards began chasing him. (HE LOOKED RIGHT!) (That means that the mayor should be in this direction!) After climbing up the stairs, Phantasia began running on the corridors of the second floor while the guards chased him. "FUCK OFF!" Phantasia threw the molotov between him and the guards that were chasing him, stopping them for short moment before then attacking one of the doors, trying to find the mayor. (NO!) C though Phantasia after opening a door. (NOT HERE TOO!) though Phantasia again after opening another door. (SHIT!) C though Phantasia after barely dodging the spear that was throwed at him. (WHERE THE FUCK IS HE?!) (Did he escaped already?!) (No! That dark elf looked in this direction!) "!" Phantasia tried opening a door but it was locket. (FOUND YOU!) Phantasia began kicking and shoulder bashing the door in order to open it, but while that was happening, the guards were already getting close to him. "!" (FUCK IT!) [All extra stats has been distributed into strength stat.] Phantasia put all of his extra avable stats into the strength stat before using his full power to do one more shoulder bash that finally ended up busting the door open. "!" After finally busting down the door, Phantasia saw a dark elf inside the fancy office. (THAT GUY IS A MAYOR?!) (FUCK TI! JUST DIE!) Phantasia rushed straight towards the mayor, but then the dark elf pulled out a gun. "?!" (HE HAS A FUKING GUN?!) Dark elf pulled the trigger and fired the pistole. The bullet flew and hit Phantasia right in the chest. "" "BITHC!" However, this didn''t stopped Phantasia and he just ran straight towards the mayor and tackled him, lifting him off the ground before then smashing himself alongside the mayor through the window. Chapter 21 – Chaos everywhere. Phantasia broke the winddown alongside the mayor and ended up flying through it to the outside. The duo fall down and hit the ground pretty quickly, crashing into it. (!) (FUCK!) C though Phantasia. (That kind of hurt. I thought it would hurt less since it''s a world of magic and shit!) "Ugh" "! ~ Phantasia looked behind him and saw the mayor trying to get up, but then Phantasia quickly got up and kicked the mayor right in the face while he was still lying like a bastard. After kicking the mayor, he quickly took out the bottle of the acid poison and smashed it against the mayor face when he tried defending himself. The mayor began screaming an agony, making him grab his face as he screamed. (NOW!) Phantasia grabbed the mayor and stabbed him right in the neck with the poison covered ws over and over again before shing and stabbing different part of the mayor body in hurry, trying to kill him as soon as possible. Before long, the mayor was finally dead. "" (I-) Before Phantasia could even have a moment to celebrate, he was shot right in the shoulder with the arrow. "?!" Phantasia looked up and saw the guards aiming at him with the bows. "!" Phantasia quickly began running away as more arrows were send flying his way and even some of the guards took the risk and jumped down the window. The culprit ran away as the guards gave chase. (FUCK!) (I maybe respawn after my death, but I cannot have them get me and see my identity!) Phantasia quickly ran through the main gate of the mansion as the guards continue chasing after him. (Fuck!) (Even if I take off my equipment, they can tell it''s me because of the injuries I suffered!) (I was too cocky and didn''t though I would suffer so much damage!) (I may have a proper equipment now, but most of my stats are right now into mana and intelligent!) (My equipment isn''t heavy equipment as well, so all of those attacks thatnded on me did some annoying damage to me.) (FUCK ME!) (As long as I escape I can-) "!" Phantasia noticed a flock of people in the streets and quickly ran into the, making the guards lost the sight of him. "QUICKLY!" C shouted the perusing dark elf. "Shit! Out of the way!" The mansion guard tried giving chase after Phantasia, but the crowd of people stood in their way. "HEY! What the fuck are you doing?!" C shouted the mansion guard. "Sorry! But we are evacuating this people." "The hospital was just destroyed and the patient that were supposed to go here were- " "I DON''T CARE!" C shouted the mansion guard at the city guard. "FUCK! WE ARE CHASING THE CRIMINAL! JUST GET OUT OF OUR WAY!" The mansion guards brute force their way through the crowd of civilians in panic in order to fallow the culprit. But then several bottles were throwed into the air. The bottles fall down, hit several passerby''s and instantly broke, making it contains spill out on the people. Exactly momentter, the people began screaming in pain, creating a huge panic. The mansion guards and the city guards tried to do something, but the panic instead just grew more and more, allowing Phantasia to just walk away unnoticed as the crowd of panicking people covered his escape. After getting away, Phantasia run as fast as he could in order to get as far as possible before then finally stopping in back alley corner and sitting down, exhausted. "Fuuukkkk..." (I almost shifted my pants from stress alone. I thought I was done for.) (I got extremely mother fucking just now, with those crowd of people.) (Well I did wasted the giant sewer rat poison on them, but it was worth it.) C though Phantasia before taking out a potion and drinking it. () (Okay Some HP was restored But I''m all out of stamina.) (But fuck me!) (I mean. I FUKING killed the bastard!) (But the fuking mansion!) (Those guards weren''t some mobs, but a strong bastards!) (Holy fuking shit.) (If I didn''t got the titles after the hospital, I would probably get instantly killed.) (.) (I think I''m safe For now.) (But fuck me.) (The guards at the mansion were WAY more tougher than those city guards I killed in the barracks.) (Well, there was also way more of them as well as the fact that they were not spread thin everywhere.) (Even if my object wasn''t to kill mayor but instead people, I would have probably still lost.) () (Well, I may not have killed everybody and turned the mayor mansion into the source of the gue, but the main goal was archived.) The mayor is dead. The guards lost their main base of operation and their base even became new source of infection. The hospital has been destroyed and is now new source of infection. (With the mayor dead, the person in charge gone as well as the fact that the gue is spreading even at faster pace than before thanks to the two new sources of infection.) (Even if yers try to do something, it''s toote.) (If they just stayed in the city and just helped with healing as well as potion making, the n would have never seeded since the gue would not spread that fast.) (But now that the two gue sources have been created and the "Head" is gone, the chaos will swallow this city.) (.) (I don''t know if I won yet But I say I have a good chances now.) (Anyway, let''s see what I got.) [You havemitted a numerous amount of crimes in just one day.] [You have obtained title: Criminal] C [D] [+30 Stat points] [You have murdered over 75 NPCs and done that without dying once.] [Rank of the title [NPC Murder] and [NPC Killer] have both changed tiers from 4 to 5.] [+10 stat points] [+20 stat points] [You have destroyed an important facility of the settlement [Guards Barracks], making the settlement suffer some serious damage.] [The chaos you are creating have deeply affected the city.] [Chaos Maker C Tier 1 has be tier 2] [+ 2 ss points] [You have spread chaos even further inside the city and making it spread among the people.] [Chaos Maker C Tier 2 has be tier 3] [+ 2 ss points] [While nobody was looking, you havemitted several huge crimes.] [You have obtained title: Sneaky Criminal] C [D] [+30 Stat points] [You have murdered over 100 people in the single day (Mix of both yers and NPCs).] [Quick Murder C Tier 2 has be tier 4] [+15 stat points.] [+15 stat points.] [You have poisoned over 50 different beings (NPCs, yers or/and monster) using your poison at the same time.] [You have obtained title: Poison C Tier 1] C [D] [Increase the damage done by the poison type attacks (Not including items) done by you by 1%] [You have set fire, spread gue and even poison random people.] [You have obtained title: Problem Child C Mess] C [E] [Increase base duration of the negative (Damage Type) effects, you apply to the enemies by 0.5%.

(Still, it was barely enough.) (I almost got fucked up big time.) (Getting stabbed and shed dealt way more damage than I expected.) (Not only that, THAT MOTHERFUCKER HAD A FRECKING GUN?!) (Fuck me!) (That took mepletely by surprise.) (But I did got it.) [Mayor Pistole] [Rarity: Umon] [A pistole that belongs to the mayor Alex Mim and was his means of self-defense.] [Gun type: 1 bullet] [Attack: 80] [Restriction: Level 20] (I got it from the mayor after I killed him.) (Honestly, I thought it would be something. Well Better? Honestly my crossbow is way better.) (It''s also umon rarity, but the crossbow is better.) (The gun itself seems to the flint lock type where you have to insert gun powder before firing it.) (From what I know, the gun type weapons have a very high attack, but people areining that they often have some annoying "things".) (Like the flint lock pistole or the musket.) (Hm. Well. I think I may just smelt it. But not now. It may. Oh, wait I don''t have any ammo or the gun powder and I don''t think buying them right now is a wise choice.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Shit.) (Welp. That''s sucks.) () (Well, it''s not like I murder the mayor for his gun, but to just nt the seed.) (Now, let''s see how the chaos unfolds.) Phantasia left the city in order to hide away, but while that was happening, some of the guards that were in the city went directly to the city guard capitan and exined the whole situation to him. Starting from the hospital getting destroyed, to the fact that the barracks werepletely wrecked. Andst but not least, the fact that the mayor was killed. And oh boy, he wasn''t thrilled at all. "" "What?" C said the orc. "The. The mayor is dead?!" "Yes." "The mansion guard tried giving chase, but he spread poison around on the civilians, making them go chaotic and cover his escape." C said the guard. "The culprit was the bird mask wearing man. Just like you warned us to look out for." "We don''t know. But there is a good chance he was behind all 3 idents." "" "?" "Capitan?" C asked the worried guard after not receiving any replies from the guard capitan. "" (Oh no. This is not good!) C though the orc. (Losing mayor alone right now is bad since we lost the person in charge, but we even lost the barracks and the hospital?!) (Without hospital people will-) "SIR!" "?" "Y-yes?!" C replied the surprised orc. "This isn''t all." "Oh. Fuck." ". Just tell me." "." "The barracks as well as the hospital were infected with the gue. I don''t think we can use hospital it right now or the equipment inside that were contaminated by the gue." "The barracks are no go as well" "." "MOTHER- " While everybody was paying attention to the sewers, the unknown assant made its way to the city and destroyed both the important facilities such as hospital and the barracks before infecting them. The destruction of the two buildings were found out with the dy, but when it was found out, the massive chaos erupted. But it wasn''t all. The mayor, Alex Mim, was killed by probably the same person who destroyed and infected both the hospital and the barracks. The city guards tried to keep the information about it hidden, but somehow people find out about, as if somebody intentionally spread the information. The entire city went in the state of panic. The facility that posses'' medical supplies were in ruins and the main base of operation of the guards had beenpletely destroyed. To add even more damage, the one ruling the city was murdered. Dumdo, the capitan of the city guard had temporarily took the position of the mayor in order to calm things a bit. But. Because of the barracks were destroyed as well as the fact other problems happened when the guards could have easily prevented them if they just didn''t went after the rats ended up harming their reputation and making it harder for them to cooperate with the civilians. The control of the city was very chaotic. Not only this, many people decided to leave the city with their families since there was some sort of criminal or maybe criminals who are on the loss and the guards werepletely unable to deal with them. To add even more trouble, people were wary of each other and even crime rate got higher. And to make matters, worse, yers were not happy with all this. Many posts were being posted after the first day of the ident. [Post C Incopeted game developers.] "WTF IS HAPPENING?!" "Hm? What''s up?" "Our fuking starting city has some sort of gue event going on and the city is getting destroyed! Why the hell is this bullshit?!" "Yea. One of the NPCs I was doing quest for was in hospital and he was killed. For fuck''s sake! I spend days doing it!" "Lol. Sucks to be you. Hey. What city are you in anyway?" "Mim. It''s the one where a lot of monster yers are alongside some other races. But other ces don''t really have anything like that?!" "Nope. There is nothing like that in the Emerald." "Fuck me. What the fuck is wrong with the developers?! A fuking gue from get go?!" "Yea. This will not end well." Flood ofins began hitting the game developers to the point they had to response. [Hi.] [Here is Michel from the technical team.] [I''m sorry for hearing all your troubles for the yers that started in the Mim city, but we are NOT the one''s responsible for the gue.] [The developer team has no ess to control the world of the game itself, allowing only the being of that world as well the yers to shape that world and their own destiny.] [This is thest and finally time this will be stated, so please remember, we cannot control this world the moment the gameunched and can only do minor changes like the bug fixes and that it. Nothing more. We may not have even slightest authority at all in that world.] [Any of the special events were not created by us what so ever. The gue wasn''t our doing nor we were the ones who started it.] [You can have our word.] The official state posted by the Unwritten Tale Online ended up shocking everybody. Everybody did heard before than the developers stated that they don''t have control over that world, but they didn''t though that they were that straight forward and meant everything. Okay. So, it wasn''t developers who did it? But then who? The developers stated that one who influence that world are the yers and beings of that world (NPCs). So, does that mean that it was NPC doing? The guards did posted the wanted pictures of the man wearing the gue doctor mask. However, the people then stopped when one of the victims that were in the hospitals spoken up. [Post: It wasn''t an NPC! It was a yer!] "It wasn''t an NPC that killed us!" "It was some sort of pshycho wearing the gue doctor mask and top hat and it wasn''t an NPC but a yer!" "?" "What the hell are you talking about?" "He is right. it wasn''t an NPC. I was there as well when that guy came to the hospital." "He introduced himself as the doctor before killing us all using ws weapon and poison." "But that guy wasn''t NPC, we even checked and he was indeed a yer." "He is even the same guy that is on the wanted posters! It''s the same bastard!" The news spread quiet quickly. Both in the "Real" world. And the "Game" world. The unknown person who did all that wasn''t an NPC. But in fact, a yer. The self-proiming "Doctor" had be his nickname. And oh boy, people instantly hated him since he was the guy that was destroying the city. The people concluded he must be doing some sort of quest, since there would be no other exnation for his actions. But in reality, there was no quest or what so ever. The bastard wanted only to destroy this city for fun and wanted to use its inhabitants as the living test subjects for his creations. Pretty much, Phantasia became both the center of the attention AND the target of the hate. But unfortunately for everybody it wasn''t the end. Why? Well. The city is still standing and that means his job isn''t done YET. Chapter 22 – Plague and consequences. [Real life.] "Hm." (Huh. Things are. Chaotic to say the least.) C though the man who ys as Phantasia while looking through the posts online on hisputer. (Thank fuking god I was wearing a mask and all, but holy shit.) (People despises me.) (I mean, sure. I want to be the viin and all, but holy fuking shit.) (The reactions are way bigger than I though.) (Well, I''m literally ruining people lifes that started in that starting city and all.) (But still, holy shit.) (I thought I would start as some sort of newbie bad guy like the ones in the story who are consider an newbie level boss and bastard that yers don''t like.) Like the bosses that acts like total assholes in the start, but then gets beaten up like little pusses by the yerster on and it feels satisfying to beat them and all. (I thought I would end like that, but nope?!) (Holy fuking shit.) (I think I made more enemies than I though.) (Huh. Honestly all of those people are assuming I''m doing this for some sort of quest or something, but honestly I would though so too.) (Still, even though I''m not doing any quest, I''m still getting a lot of titles.) (Well, most of them are E ranks, but still not that bad since I got a lot of them.) (It seems that the E rank titles are the weakest titles and easiest to get, but they provide very weak effect.) (As for the D rank titles, you need to put some work in order to get them.) (However, I noticed that the F rank titles often have [Tiers], giving them ability to grow.) (It can make them better than D rank titles, but it would take a lot of time and efforts.) (But is there like an upper limit to the tier titles? Like 10 or 100? Or what about the requirement? Would they got slightly increased each time you grow them? Or maybe both answers.) () (Never mind that.) By the look of things, the city itself seems to be in state of total mess. NPCs are leaving and many merchants stopped doing business. Not only that, I heard all the quests were taken down and only the support quest rted to the city survival are only ones avable. The yers have hard time growing their strength, since if they stay in the city, they will get infected by the other yers or NPCs. The yers can easily survive using potions, heals or just eating food. But because of theck of the NPCs rted to the business, hunting for the yers became much harder and the leveling up speed became much slower. This kind of fullend the people hatred towards me even more. Anyway, overall. The city is still standing. But its state is extremely serious. Many NPCs are dying and people are keep getting infected. The barracks capitan who temporarily took control over the city though that the infection would be over as long as they dealt with the rats. However, since I destroyed the hospital and created two new sources of the infection, people are now having shitty time. Honestly speaking, the city is quiet "Dead" state. But I don''t want it to be in the "Dead" state. I want it "Perma Dead" state. Likepletely destroyed and bye bye with it to the point it cannot be called the city. . Wait, what would happened if I destroy it? Would it stop being starting location or something... Well, I will find out when I do that. But for now, there is an important question: How do I do that? I''m already using the gue and I don''t have any means of making it stronger. Not only that, it''s no longer possible to restock my sewer rat material since people straight up annihted those rats after I pointed them as the real culprits behind the gue. So, what do I do? Should I just wait it out and let them fall to ruins after times passes? . Yea. I think this is the only choice. My hands are tied. If I go back in, I will get instantly hunted down. But if I got in the town without my disguise, then I will fuking expose myself and that is the worst possible oue. Going around and killing people are out of options since they are on the high alert because of what I didst time and the fact that they suspect me being the culprit behind the gue. So, yea Be it mask or no mask, I''m still fucked. Even with my current stats. The guards showed me that challenging their numbers is straight up suicide. I may have gotten bit stronger, but it''s not enough. They are wary of me and my tricks. So right now, I would 100% lose head on fight. Oh. By the way. The people are calling me the "Doctor" since I introduced myself like that in the hospital. Honestly, I said that on the whim since I was wearing the gue doctor mask and all. But honestly, I think I like that title the people gave me. I mean, I honestly see myself right now like one of those fucked up professors and doctors in mangas and anime that. You know Makes fuck up things. And honestly, I did one of those fuck up things since I literally made a gue and spread it around intentionally. I guess I''m one of those "Fucked up" viins'' type. "" "But what the hell do I do now?" (Going to the city and trying anything is straight up suicide.) (Should I pretend to be the business man like before and sell the potions?) (Nah.) (Then should I just screw it and just hunt?) (Considering the current situation, I think it''s an good time to hunt and I became much stronger than before thanks to the chaos and titles I made.) (I have good equipment for now, so I should manage.) (.) (Honestly it''s not like I have any other choices.) (Training with the alchemy or cksmithing is out of the question, since I need to secure some new materials and some different ones for my training and experiments.) (And honestly speaking, I think the materials from the monsters are more interesting than I thought for the cksmithing?) (I mean, even the foots from those rabbits are quite good.) [Giant Evil Rabbit Shoes] [Rarity: Umon] [A pair of boots that were made using the giant evil rabbits'' foot and were reinforced with the copper.] [Armor: 25] [+5 Health] [Restriction: Level 20] (The defense is pretty good for the boots for the level 20 AND I also got +5 to health, meaning 50 HP) (Honestly, its quiet good item.) (But I want something better.) (My level increased a lot, meaning I can equip even better equipment now.) (But the city is no in options, meaning I have to make it myself.) (Well, I was nning to anyway, but I need materials.) (But then I need to raise mybat ss levels, then production ss levels and the [Chaos Research] ss since I want to max it out and gain another research.) (But the problem is that the [Chaos Research] level is locked until I reach specific levels on both the selected ss: [Alchemist] and [Poison Mage].) () (So yea I need a lot of ss points Well, I got few from the titles I didn''t used yet, so it''s good? Kind off?) C though the man before getting off his chair and the opening the capsule. The man got inside the capsule. (But honestly speaking right now, I think the hunting is the best option. Well not only because it''s my only option, but honestly its pretty good.) (With the city being right now like "This", people will have hard time hunting around, since they would have harder time getting items, potions or equipment.) (So pretty much I should be able to level up quite fast for many different reasons.) "" (But I''m still fucked in a way since people will hunt me and stuff since I''m a criminal and a troll. So, yea There are downsides for being evil asshole.) (Well, I guess I have even now more reason to hunt monsters in order to get stronger before I getpletely fucked by somebody.) (I won''t be surprised at all if people would just go around and hunt me nonstop, considering how much I pissed them off and fucked them by spreading the gue, there are even wanted posters, so both yers and NPCs will hunt me... So, yea... I need to hurry before this really happens and I get fucked big time.)

Its looks pretty good I got to say." (Honestly, I was expecting to unlock a new skill after raising the research level to 10, but all of it went into the [gue Creation].) (Well It''s not like I''m that much disappointed, since that skill NEEDS levels.) (Anyway, my stats rose a lot.) (Since I started using those ws, I did put some points into the stamina and agility, but I put most of the points into the mana and intelligent since the poison magic is my main weapon.) () (Huh. Now that I think about it. Are there any other yers out there with high stats total like me?) (Honestly, I doubt that I''m the only "Monster" out there.) (There is a good chance that there will be other yers with high stats like hell like me.) (I mean, I doubt that doing evil alone is only thing rewarding.) (There are probably people who are getting titles nonstop as well for being goody two shoes or there may be other assholes like me out there.) (Honestly, it would not surprise me at all if there is some sort of main character stupidly OP person out there that look like he is cheating or he has some sort of plot luck or something like that.) (But oh well, I don''t I need to worry about some strong yers appearing now in my region, considering how I fucked them.) (.) (But I did get almost murdered by the guards.) (I got cocky and almost ended up getting killed.) (Well, now I got powered up for having even more titles, so I wonder if I could. Nah. Even going back to the city with those stats maybe still suicidal.) (The guards will murder me if they gang up on me.) (There are also yers.) (I did said that there is no need to worry about some strong yers appearing in here, but there is no 0% of that happening, meaning that there is some unknown chance of this happening.) (Not only that, there is a lot of yers, so even if there is nobody strong, I will probably get beaten up by the angry mob.) ()n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om (Yeb. Going to the city will have a high chance of me getting beaten up to death.) (But maybeter it will be different.) (The city is currently in the pathetic state and the gue is still raging.) () (No wait!) (SHIT!) "People left too fuking early?!" "Oh, fuck me!" "This isn''t good. This is not good at all." (I mean, I''m notining that the NPCs left the city in order not to die from the gue.) (This resulted in the yers having harder time getting the stuff like potions or equipment.) (But fewer NPCs there are, the gue will spread much slower.) (There are corpse out there, but if they just get rid of them, then the gue will gradually stop spreading so much.) (Not only that, the gue from the corpse has a limited time, meaning if too much time passes and, the gue inside the corpse will disappear. Probably some of the corpse are already no longer source of the gue.) (The same with coughing.) (There are fewer people in the city, since NPCs left and the yers are trying to keep their distance from the city.) (The coughing is very weak and only works if people are really close to each other and I mean like very close.) (It can only infect people if they directly cough at each other and cannot infect things like items or tools, only living breathing beings. However, if people keep their distance even a bit, they will not get infected and if we add the fact that there are not many people hanging around in the city or are trying not to interact with one another, the infection from coughing is pretty much useless! (The infection rate will drop like hell at this rate if not is dropping already!) (Both the corpse and the coughing are pretty much getting fucked and if people realize the fact that the corpse and the distance are the main issue and can be easily dealt with.) "" "I fucked up." "I didn''t though that far away." "At this rate the gue will die down and then disappear." (Infecting the city again is no possible, since they are wary of me and I don''t have any excuse that would get me time to spread the gue like with the rats.) (The one running out of the time isn''t the city, ITS ME!) "." "FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKK..." "Why the fuck when the things seemed finally going easy for me, I now get this bullshit?!" "Is this some sort of fuking karma?!" (Fuck! What do I do?!) (I don''t think they realized that yet, about the fact that they will survive the gue at this rate, but once they do, they will use it to their advance and made the infection rate drop like crazy.) (I though the city would suffer more, but I forgot the important fact that the infections I add to the gue were [Weak], meaning that they sucked.) (The only reason why it worked so well was because of how crowded the city was with yers and NPCs.) (THAT was the only reason why it even worked.) (But now?) (The two weak infections effects will be revealed to the people and people will realize that the gue isn''t that scary as long as they keep their distance from each other and spread around.) (They will realize that the gue is nothing to fear and once they do, they will no longer panic AND that will also make people be calmer and not infect each other.) (People would not get infected from coughing and if the corpse are removed or burned, then the gue infection will stop.) (Once they find out about the [Weak] infection, then I''m screwed.) (Honestly, since the gue only works for few minutes, once you figure out how it works, you will not get infected.) (And if you stay safe and not get infected, then the other peoples won''t get infected.) (The chain effect will bepletely destroyed once people realize how easily you can beat the gue once you stop panicking.) (They realize that the gue isn''t that scary and the only reason why it did any damage was because they were panicking.) (Even if nobody realize that, the situation right now will show them.) (They will just see themselves that the infection is stopping if you don''t get infected and just wait the minutes for the gue to disappear.) (They will easily see the results and find out and the gue will bepletely eradicated in hours if not minutes.) (Even if they don''t notice, as long as they keep their distance from the city, the gue will disappear on its own.) (Fuck me!) (How the fuck I overlooked that obvious problem?!) (I got. Fuck. I maybe only got few days. But the worst case scenario I have 1-2 days.) (Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!) "Oh, fuking shit! I''m really in deep shit right now!" (MY FUKING STUPID ASS THOUGH THAT THE PLAUGE WILL DO EVERYTHING, BUT AT THIS RATE IT WILL JUST STRAIGH UP DISSAPEAR.) "" "" "I need to personally destroy the city before they recover." (I need to level up as much as possible before I ran out of the time and everything, I did so far will be for nothing.) (But fuck me!) (This is extremely bad!) (I doubt that the city is full of idiot yers and there are some few smart people who will realize the easy way to deal with the gue without any problems.) (Oh fuck. I really have between 1-2 days. No more. Only 1 to 2 days. Maybe people will. No. Fuck I don''t see any other exnation or possibility. I''m really that fucked.) (The gue will instantly disappear soon as soon as people find out about the obvious weaknesses.) (This is way worse than I though.) (I have only 1-2 days to destroy this city before they recover. If they stop the gue, then its game over and any other attempts to harm the city will be impossible.) (Even if I were to spread the gue again, the people would now know the 3 weakness and just make it disappear within minutes.) "." "Oh, fuck my life for real." "I have to somehow got strong enough in 1 day and then destroy the city in the next day or its game over.... Fuck me...What did I ever done to deserve it..." Chapter 23 – Desperation. With the newly discovered fact that I may bepletely FUCKED like I mean, all because the people are trying to keep their distance will make the gue stop spreading at rapid rate. The gue 3 main weaknesses was the: -Short time duration. -The weak coughing effect that can only infect at very close distance and cannot infect object. -The corpse infection that have limited amount of active time. With how the things area, even if nobody notices those two giant weaknesses, they will straight up see that the infection is stopping at rapid rate.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Even if they don''t do anything, as the things are the gue will disappear on its own and if somebody does notices that, the gue will be gone before you know it. I don''t have any means of making the gue spread any more, so that means I have to do something before they recover. I may not made in time and the gue will be gone. It will take some time for the city to recover though, but before they can recover, I have to destroy the city while it''s still weakened state. I''ve. I''ve needed to calm down like hell. That revtion that I missed something so obvious and though that I''ve won just straight up ruined everything and ended up confusing and scaring me. I needed some time to calm down and review the situation again. I did said that I have around 1-2 days to destroy the city, but not exactly. One thing is removing the gue entirely but the other is recovering. The gue doesn''t leave anysting effects, but the NPCs business took the hit and they would need time to recover and everything. True. They can remove the gue at any point now within just hours or maybe even less like half an hour, that how weak the gue really is. The only reason why it worked was the panic I caused. But now the panic is disappearing and despair is appearing. But I don''t want despair but only panic so they cannot think straight. However, with the current situation, I''m fucked. So, I have probably this day and maybe the next day. Maybe, I don''t know really with those odds. Anyway, I have to somehow get strong enough so I can destroy the city. And so, I decided to screw the level 30 area around the city and venture further away from the city. Honestly, I don''t know where the level 40 hunting ground is, since I couldn''t get to the city in order not to expose myself to the danger. The guard capitan may think that I was maybe working with those masked individuals, since I was the one who reported about the rats and suggested that the guards should just leave the city and guards the sewers entrances. So, they may look for me or something. The area I headed to was the deeper parts of the forest. I did ran into some yers on my way, but I made sure I wasn''t wearing my "Doctor" equipment I used. The monsters I encounter there were mostly beast type monsters, but nothing very serious or annoying like the big evil rabbit or the sewer rats, so honestly killing them was extremely easy. I may use their materials for research, but not now. I need something better. I went and walked into the deeper areas of the forest, trying to find the proper spot for leveling up with my current abilities, I even asked around the yers for some directions and apparently the hunting area for the level 40 is supposed to be in the deepest part of the forest. Its both good and bad news. Good, because I know where to go. And bad because that is the limit. There is no higher level hunting grounds. Shit. This is. I can probably hunt the level 40 monsters, but would hunting them after I reach level 40 be still effective? Fuck. I don''t have a choice but to do it anyway if I want to level up. I went straight to those hunting grounds mentioned by the yers. The monsters there were tree monsters called [Woodman]. They weren''t that strong and only main thing about them was their defense. However, their materials. Wow. They weren''t much good. [Woodman Wood] [Woodman Seed] [Woodman Core] C [Low Drop Rate] (Fuck me. I though the materials would be somewhat good for creating armor, but I don''t I can use them. They are more like for the alchemy.) (This is worse than I imagined.) (Will I really have no choice but to ry on my current equipment?) (.) (Fuck me.) Not option to make better equipment and the limited enemy level. (The gue will soon disappear from the city and spreading it again will be out of question.) (Can I level up enough to destroy the city?) "." (Did I. Did I lost?) (Fuck me...) "." "Hm?" "Hey! You okay buddy?" C asked the human yer while approaching Phantasia. "" Phantasia looked towards the man, revealing his gue doctor mask to the man. "?!" "Doc- " Before the man could even speak, Phantasia rushed at him and shed his throat with his ws. The other yers that were in the area were shocked and confused as the wanted criminal "Doctor" suddenly appeared right in front of them. However, before they could even do something, the "Doctor" attacked them and began killing them. (FUCK IT!) Second yer was killed. (FUCK IT!) Third yer was killed. (FUCK THIS BULLSHIT!) Thest yer of the group was killed. (I FUKING REFUSE TO BACK DOWN NOW!) (I fuking put so much work into that and I fuking refuse to back down now!) (So what if I did my best and became a monster thanks to my tittles, I got from everything I did?!) (I FUKING SAY NO!) (My goal is to fuking destroy this city and ruin people lives and made them aware of the viin "Doctor".) (I maybe talk like the fuking desperate person, but screw it!) (I will fuking try everything I can before I fuking back down now!) I began hunting and killing, both the yers and the monsters while wearing my gue doctor equipment. It will make me reveal my location to the others with killing the yers while wearing my gue doctor equipment, BUT FUCK IT! I can hunt much faster using it and I don''t care if anybody will find me since I will fuking kill them. I hunted and killed, over and over again. My level was keep increasing at rapid rate to the point I managed to level up to the level 40 within one day. But I didn''t stopped. I continue hunting and killing yers, getting as much EXP as possible. I don''t know if it is because I''m still low level, but I still managed to level up. And before long, the day ended and came the next. And as I feared, people found out about the gue weaknesses. The gue inside the city is disappearing and before long it will bepletely long. The gue that made people cry and be furious would just disappear just like that without any real efforts. Fuck me I predicted that and all. But holy fuking shit. Now that they knew that the gue is very easily to be dealt with, they won''t fear it any longer, both NPCs and yers. However, it will take them time recover, but I don''t know how much. Even without the gue, I did some solid damage to the city and even left some deep wounds that will take time to heal. Beside that, there was another problem. The reckless hunting I did yesterday was worth it and I did leveled up shit tons of time, even after reaching level 40, but still, the news spread about the "Doctor" hunting. Going to the hunting ground there is straight up suicide now. I can maybe try going to the level 30 hunting grounds, but that is that. Before they recoverpletely. No. Before they recover to specific extend, I need to destroy them. They don''t need to fully recover. I leveled up a lot, but what now? Should I go into the city and go on rampage? No. Without a solid n, its 100% failure. Hunt more? But would that do? Maybe I should try researching some stuff with the new materials I got? But what I could possibly made? Fuck me, I can straight up see my chance of sess dropping nonstop. . Maybe I really can''t do anything. The most dangerous materials I could get and use were the sewer rat materials and that it. I got some new materials, but they are really not that impressive. The woodman materials that I tested were really for alchemy and some can be used to create a mage staff and that it. I''m trying over and overe up with the different ns, but each n would end up with the failure. "I guess I really did just lost like that..." Chapter 24 – No luck. (No matter what option I can think or the course of action, it will end up in failure.) C though Phantasia while hiding inside his base. (I though the materials I got from the new monsters would give me something. But nope.) (The only good thing I did was to make potion that restore HP and MP using the woodman materials.) (Fuck me... I thought that I would at least get something by now, but nothing came up. I even wrote down any good ideas'' downs. But nope.) (To make matters worse, the weakness became public, well it was obvious, but soon the gue will disappearpletely in the matters of hours or maybe minutes.) (Fuck me.) (I mean, I still have time, since they need to recover and all, but still, I have zero clue what I should do now.) (Using gue again is out of question, since it would be both not effective at all and would expose me to the danger.) (I leveled up a lot and even increased my skills levels as well AND even ss levels.) (But am I strong enough now?) (With the entire day of griding and murdering people, I managed to reach level 45.) (I could have probably reached higher level, if I other people didn''t hunted in that area before me.) (The current situation is extremely shit and I''ve still did not discover any means of oveing my dire situation.) (I''m straight up FUCKED.) (Maybe I thought of impossible.) (I did got stronger, but there is no way a newbie like me can destroy the city even though I started ying only recently like all others people.) (Let''s face it.) (I lost.) (The only thing that could harm the city was my gue.) (But because I cannot create anything powerful yet, the gue can be easily gotten rid off.) (The situation is. Fucked up.) "." "Let''s think bit more." There is gunpowder in the city, right? Then what if I stole it and make a bomb? . Nah., I doubt I would have enough explosives or something. Can I somehow use the monsters around the city? . Nope. Even if I were to increase my [Taming Mastery] and the [Necro Mastery], there would be still a limit of what I can do. Inject the water source and food? Also, nope. I''m not some master assassin or something, I will get find out instantly. How about selling potions that are injected... No. This one is straight up stupid. It would say "Hey. I''m the "Doctor" bitches. Come and murder me while I''m exposing myself like a total idiot!" Fuck me. "." "Nope." "I lost." (I may have my special ss, but the problem with it that I need to level up my other sses in order to level it up and finish the research.) (Because I was forced to split my leveling up process into the multiple sses, I ended having lower ss levels.) (But it''s not like I can change it now.) (Beside, necromancer, summoner, tamer, cksmith, I needed all of those sses badly. The poison mage and the alchemist alone weren''t cutting it.) (But fuck me. I really can''t do anything.) (I though of every possible oue and ns, and it always ended up in failure.) (I may have seeded if I waited patiently, leveled up like a normal person, but instead my stupid ass though I was ready and fucked up everything.) (Fuck me I''m a viin. But one of thosepletely dumb ones by the look of fuking things.) (.) (So what now?) (I fuking failed.) (There is nothing I can do now.) (None of my cards will work.) (The only hope I would have would to max out the research and start the second research, maybe gaining something... No, it wouldn''t work.) (I''m still low level and I don''t have enough materials.) (I fucked up way harder than I though.) (Now not only I''m fuking wanted criminal, but I also didn''t archived my goal because I got over confided likeplete idiot.) (What do I do now?) C though Phantasia while spinning on his chair. "" (Should I abandon this ce?) (Just being here will put me in danger.) "." (No.) (I would need another spot to hide.) (This is my workshop. The heart of my base.) (Unless I would have another base that is well hidden AND I would also need time to move my things.) (The current situation is way too annoying to me.) (I cannot leave this ce! I invested my money and time in order to repair and turn it into "MY BASE".) (But this ce sucks!) (There is no high enough monsters left in this area nor a lot of different materials.) (I reached the limit what I can do with this ce.) "." (Fuck me... Do I really don''t have any choice but to leave?) (I can''t take the fuking furnace and some stuff. That would mean I would have to leave it... FUCK ME!) (Everything crumbles!) "." ''I guess I''m the real loser here..." "." (Lets''. Let''s just pack things up.) Okay I fuking admitted it. I''m the fuking loser. I lost. The city is standing. And I can''t do anything to it. Even if I make new gue, it will not work since it would be pathetic weak and easily exploited weaknesses since I''m still low level yer and don''t have any materials that would create gue deadly enough So, yea I''m the loser. Well, not exactly. I messed up the citypletely and the people will have hard time growing in levels and skills, considering how much I fucked the city. So pretty much I may have still some upper hand since I can go away now and start hunting on the higher level areas, getting ahead of other yers. So, it''s not that all. Well, it''s terrible, but I still have something? But still. Fuck me. I liked this base. This was like my "Viin Hideout" and stuff. But, its not like have an ability to turn this thing into some sort of mechanical golem monster and have it walk. Huh. Hey this is honestly good idea. But is it worth it using one of the research? Well, I can''t do it anyway now, so lets just forget it for now. I began taking the most important stuff I could. I didn''t taken any cksmithing tools and instead only took the alchemy ones, since they are the most expensive and I don''t know how long it would take for me to find another ones. I also took the broken ones I haven''t fixed yet, since maybe in future I will repair it. But while I was panicking things up, I found something. "Hm?" (Oh. Its one of those books that the crafter has written.) C though Phantasia while picking up the book that fallen off the shelf. (Honestly, I was so busy nonstop that I never had time to read any of this.) (.) (Some of the book pages are ripped off. I guess he must have did that when he had that panic rampage thing when hepletely lost it.) (.) (Yeb. It''s no good.) (The book contains some stuff about crafting and all rted to the alchemy. But I don''t think I encounter any of the materials that are listed here, so pretty much this I useless for me.) (Well, he was a high ss and high ranking item maker and I''m still at the bottom, so it kind of make sense that the stuff here wouldn''t be much of use for me. It seemed like he had stash of the materials beforeing here and he used the illegal means of obtaining stuff he didn''t had.) (.) (Well it was worth a try.) (Still, lets just look he has here anyway and decide what to take and what to leave.) (Let''s see what we have here.) (Dark cave mushroom found in the deep. NOPE. This book is about some high grade materials that I don''t have any ess to.) (.) (This one is about the alchemy basics and some advantage stuff. He probably kept it because of his poisoned memories. Its probably good idea to take it with me.) (. Hm.?) (?!) "MOTHERFUCKER!" "He fuking researched the monsters here?!" (FUCK ME!) (If I fuking knew that, I wouldn''t fuking spend hours doing the research and all. Fuuukkkk...) (.) "Anyway, he probably wanted to see if there was anything that could have helped him. He though that the woodman materials could have been used for the antidote, but by the look of things it was nowhere near enough to even help him slightest." (The overall research is the stuff I got if not the same.) (I thought I would learn something new. Like how he could create some poison or special equipment using materials.) "" "Also miss." "Honestly I was kind of expecting something like an info about a monster that nobody knows in this area and only he did knew that that monster would have some materials that would save my ass." "Well More like I hoped desperately that one of these books would have something. Honestly why the fuck I even got my hopes up?" "What about this book?" ". He tore all the pages...Okay. Trash." C said Phantasia while throwing the book to the side. (What about this one?) (Magic circles making for dummies. Huh. I may use that. Maybe?) (. Never mind. Half of the pages are gone. NICE.) (For fuck''s sake. Please don''t tell me that beside destroying the most important alchemy tools and expensive ones, he also destroyed the most important and most expensive books as well?) "." "Well, maybe I will find- " [Few momentster.] "FUCK!" (There was really nothing that could have saved my ass!) (For fuck''s sake! I wish I had one of those random main character moments where they stumble onto something randomly that would fuking turn the situation around.) "" (Well, I''m a viin and not the main protagonist. Why the fuck I would though I would have a moment like that?) "." C Phantasia leaned back on his chair. (Welp.) (I hoped, but it failed.) (I checked the books that guy had, but I found nothing that would have saved me.) (NOTHING!) (.)n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om (Welp.) (I tried thinking of the way where I can win and tried also going through the previous owner of this ce stuff and see if he had some sort of secret weapon that would blow up the entire city or something, but nope.) "." "I guess I will be just a loser that has to suck it up and ept the reality." "." "What did I ever done to deserve this?" Chapter 25 – Town. I packed up my most valuable things that were inside the hideout and left it. Honestly, I didn''t wanted to leave this ce at all cost, but the circumstances force me to. But who knows? Maybe I will find a new hideout and I will able to take all the remaining stuff from there. I''m the only one with the password to enter that ce anyway. I took my stuff and shut the door, leaving the hideout sealed. My next destination is the town called Wild. But there is a problem. Because of the current situation with the city, it will be right next to the impossible to gain any transport. So, I have to walk... What a fun. The road was quiet long, but it was at least empty and safe, so I didn''t run into problems like some sort of randomly encountering bandits or something. So, it was straight up boring. Well, honestly my goal was to get to the next city, but there is a problem. The problem is my high [Notoriety]. I don''t know if NPCs can see if I''m criminal or something and I need toy low anyway. So pretty much I will spend minimal amount of time in the settlements. I''ve used any remaining materials to improve my current equipment, so I should survive on my own for some time. But the problemes after worlds when I level up a lot. Truth to be told, the existence of the titles and how easy you can get some of them became widely known. But by the look of things, the amount of titles I have is WAY more than any of the yers. Well, it wasn''t enough though. Even if I raise the skill level, I''mcking in any "Strong stuff", so pretty much my next gue will be probably weak like hell like myst one. Honestly, the only reason why my previous gue even killed a single person was because of the chaos. And honestly, there is also the fact that the higher level people, both NPCs and the yers would have not been bothered by that gue one bit. I also injected myself to see the effects and oh boy, the poison resistance works. Shit. That means you can counter gues with some stuff. So pretty much, at higher level the gue will bepletely useless, unlessens I got better at alchemy, raise the gue creation level, raise my own level and get ess to new materials. Pretty much, the gue is no longer my main weapon for now. Maybe I fucked up a bit by choosing it at my first research. Well, I did gained a lot of data and experience, so let''s just say that the experiments were somewhat sessful? But honestly, considering the current situation it''s the best idea to max out the alchemist and the poison mage so I can max out the research ss and start the new research already. Hm. Honestly, I need some research that would boost my own strength or something. But for now, let''s just focus on the task at hand... That is just walking. On the peaceful road. Em. How long will I have to walk for? [After very extremely long and peaceful walkter.] "F-fuck." (WHY THE FUCK IT WAS SOO FUKING LONG?!) (Fuck me... I mean it was peaceful and all, but why the fuck it was so long?!) (Do all yers need to walk like that after they left their starting area?) "" (Or was it the fact that I screwed up the city and ended up making them unable to have an something like a caravan taxic services because of the gue I spread. Yea I think that one on me.) "." I took out my mask, not the gue doctor one, but the wooden mask I used while selling potions and approached the town. "" "Hm? Halt." C said the guard near the entrance to the town. "Yes? Is something wrong?" C asked Phantasia, being ready to take out a hidden knife from his sleeve. "Why are you wearing a mask?" "Oh That? Well, its bitplicated." "I''m an adventure and alchemist, pretty talented one if I may say so myself. But that kind of made things extremely annoying for me, since people harassed me for my potions." "If you like, I can take off my mask, since I''m currently not selling potions and stuff." ". No Wait. Did you came from Mim city?!" "Yea. Is that a problem?" "!" The guard put his spear at the Phantasia. "Sir. I''m going to ask you something important, are you infected?" C asked the guard in panic. "Em. Nope." "If anything, the gue is straight up gone." C replied Phantasia. "" "Wait, what?" C asked the confused guard. "Yeb." "It''s gone." "You didn''t heard the. Wait, you couldn''t since nobody wanted to get near it." "" "So. Do I have you exin the whole situation to you or?" "Em. Please wait a moment." C said the guard before leaving. "." (Huh. It didn''t seem to realize I was a criminal?) (I guess the NPCs can''t tell if I have [Notoriety].) (But even if they can''t, the system warned me that they can still see memit the crime and all, and those NPCs act like real people. I even got a bounty as "Doctor".) (However, if I die with this high [Notoriety], I''m straight up fucked.) I waited a bit and some town guard came together with the guy from before, apparently, he was the head of the town guards. Huh. I again meet the leader of the guards? Kind of strange. But okay? Anyway, he wanted an exnation what happened to the Min. I told him everything. About the fact that the gue was caused by something, but the gue had mayor weaknesses that was easily exploited to the point it was easily gotten rid off. There was no use hiding it or giving the false report, since they would find it out sooner orter. Anyway, they did kind of though I was lying, since well gue disappearing in one day and all like a miracle? Well, the reason why it was able to disappear like that was because I sucked. I just told them that if he doesn''t trust me, he can send some men to confirm it. Honestly, he was bit confused and he didn''t knew if I was speaking truth and all, considering how stupidly it sound for the gue to disappear like that, but he decided to look into it. They checked me if I had gue, but I was safe, so they let me inside the city. He also asked about the mask, but I told him the situation and told him that I don''t need to wear it, unless I''m doing business, I even just took it off and showed my face to him. (Honestly, I don''t think I will wear this mask for some time, since I there is straight up no yers in here.) (But still, its huge relief that they don''t know that I''m wanted criminal or the fact that I''m the "Doctor".) (However, with how things are, I will have to be an "GOOD PERSON" and grow my strength quietly so I won''t make same mistake again.) "Hm. Okay. I understand your situation, but please try not to wear this mask unless you are doing business like you said." C said the dark elf guard. "I don''t want any weird rumors or stuff happening because of a creepy man wearing mask and walking around the town." "Understand." C said Phantasia while putting away the mask. (Welp, that one problem out of the way.) (Honestly, I thought I would have to camp in the forest or something in order not to get thrown into prison.) (But the main problem isck of base.) (How the hell I will make stuff? Does this ce has public workshop like the Mim city?) (Fuck me.) "" "Em Are you okay?" C asked the young human guard. "Hm? Yes. No Fuck. Itsplicated." C replied Phantasia. "Can I ask a question? Does this ce has public workshop?" "I used to have my own workshop, but because of the state of the Min, I was forced to move out."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "However, like I said before, beside being adventure that hunt monsters, I''m also an item maker, an alchemist and sometimes cksmith." "So yea Please tell me that there is a public workshop in this town." "Oh. Yes, there is one. Bit old and not used very often, but there is one." C said the young man. "Oh, thank god." C said relieved Phantasia. (Well, its better than nothing, but there are still lot of problems.) (And quiet few annoying ones.) (Like what the fuck I do with the inventory and backpack filled with my tools and other stuff?) (Or how much time I have before yerse here and force me to share hunting grounds with them.) (There is also the fact that I cannot do anything evil or anything or I that I can''t experiment in peace without new base.) (.) (Fuck me. I mean I deserve it. But still fuck me.) (.Oh wait. I''m also poor again. SHIT.) Chapter 26 – Peace and thinking. After I finally managed to get inside the town, I needed to look for something like a storage or something. I found one, it was inn that offered me a room that I could use to store my stuff but the problem was that it was bit pricy. I sold any useful materials I has as well as potion so just I could buy it and store of my stuff in there. (Fuck me.) (I have no money left. AGAIN.) (Not only that, to keep those things, I need to keep giving money to the inn owner in order to keep my stuff in there. Great.) (Not only that, I had to sell my potions and the materials I had kept in reserve. However, I still need more money to keep the rooms.) (But at least I''m now free from carrying this stuff.) (However considering the current circumstances, I need to focus on making money, again.) (But there are no yers here. So, I have to business with the NPCs as well as do quests.) (Right now, the main priority is getting stronger as well as getting money.) The current situation is like this. The starting city of Min is in mess, however the gue has been defeated and the city will recover after some time passes. However, because of the current state of the city, many of the NPCs had to temporarily close their shops or leave the city. The city will recover, but as of right now, people will have hard time leveling up. Right now, I''m the only yer in this town, but I don''t know how long it will take for the other yers to catch up to me. I did saw some yer already hunting in the level 40 areas. Honestly, its both bad and good. The bad, because I will be forced to share hunting grounds with them. The good, because I may end up getting clients. The "Wood Mask", the title the people gave me online ended up getting people attention since I was quite popr with my potions. So, I would get a lot of money. Two mask. The "Wood Mask". And the "Doctor". Honestly its like one of those viins who wear two faces of an MC friend and the second of the antagonist. And I kind of did thatpletely unintentionally. But I''m not reallyining. For the wood mask, I can take off my mask, so there is no problem. But as for the doctor, I will keep it hidden. Right now, I have 3 things I need to do. -Get money. -Get stronger. -Be a good person. Right now, I cannot be suspicious or get found out as doctor while still being weakling, And there is also the fact that I''m a wanted criminal. So, yea. For now, I will be a good boy. The first and the second things are also important. I don''t have any money right now and I will need it if I want to keep the room as well as for other stuff. And I also need to get stronger ASAP. I need to max out the researcher soon so I can start the second research. I got to admit it, I fucked up by choosing my first research for the gues and should have instead chose something that boosted my own strength.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om And my next research will be about it. Anyway, after unpacking my things and taking a look around the town, I took some quest and headed straight to the forest. The quest were like: "Bring me 10 savage wolf heads." Or "Bring me bear monster belt". The quest weren''t much problem for me, expected for the bear one. It was kind of like a mini boss bastard. But there is one thing that I need to mention. The difficulty change. The difficulty hadpletely changed outside the starting zone. The monsters are much stronger. Even though I beat them with ease, I could tell the difference in strength, even the monsters who were the same level as woodman were much stronger. I guess monsters are like yers, they may have same level like other monsters, but are much stronger. However, with my current amount of titles, I was too strong for them. Well, I did struggle a bit since I''m not fullybat ss user, but still, there was no problem when it came to hunting. But it did required time getting used to. Before long, I logged out. I checked the situation online and yep, the Min city is already recovering. It will take time, but still, they are recovering. As for the yers, they are still angry for what I did. Well, no wonder. By the way. When I checked stuff online There was article about me... WOW. I kind of became now a real celebrity and hated one at that. I though the heat would die down a little bit, but nope. People still 100% hate me with their heart. I really and I mean REALLY need to stay hidden low as an "Doctor". The next day and once again, I began hunting monsters left and right as well as epting any quests I can. Pretty much, it was quiet. Peaceful? There was nothing like a random events or anything. Well, there was one thing that happed. yers came to the town. And the yers that came here. Yea. I remember killing them as "Doctor". I honestly though it would take longer for the yers to get here? I even slowed them down by killing them. The caravan services are still not avable, meaning that they had to walk like me, so I don''t... Wait a second. The monsters in the starting zone are quite easy, expect for that giant rat, he was unbnced AS FUCK! Anyway, I think they though that the monsters outside the starting zone would be no challenge? Oh boy, reality will hit them hard. But still, it doesn''t. Wait it does make sense. I mean, I did locked myself in my hideout and experimented for days. Making the potions and other items does gives me EXP, but I often made low ranking ones intentionally... Huh. I thought I got ahead of other yers in terms of leveling up. Well, right now its different, I''m the one in the lead. But I fuking miscalcted with the obvious thing and now I have realized the yers will get here sooner than expected. Well, not that many, since I fucked the city... Wait, won''t the caravan services soon be active again since the gue is gone? Shit! No. Calm down. I still have huge advantage thanks to my stats and not only that, Ipleted several quests, even the one time only ones. My current level is 54. Its pretty good considering that I raised it so much in one day. But I''m thinking of rushing it and start to hunt the higher level monsters again. I though about doing it before, but the monsters outside the starting zone are way more annoying in terms ofbat to the point I needed to get used to the sudden spike in power. But now I should be able to handle higher level monsters. I began taking all the quest I can, even the ones that were higher level than me and beganpleting them nonstop. By the way, I''ve been using my ss points like this: [Unspent ss Points: 1] [Alchemist: 60/100] C[Cost:1] [Poison Mage: 80/100]-[Cost:2] [Chaos Researcher: First Research C [gue]: 15/25] C [Cost: 3] I focused on raising my sses rted to the gue, but I got a new problem. I need to raise my alchemy skill level in order to raise the alchemist ss. Its locked right now in short. Fuck. I did raised my alchemy level a lot when I locked myself in the hideout, but each level increase require more EXP. On top of that, I didn''t did any alchemy after IT leveled up in normal way. In short, it will take me quiet some time to reach the alchemy ss to level 100 and if its not on 100, alongside the poison mage, then I cannot max out the research. Fuck. So, what the hell do I do? I can try doing the alchemy and I did saved some money, but the problem is theck of yers. Making stuff is good, but I need an ie to keep up the business. I have my reputation as "Wood Mask" AND I can prove that I''m not pretender with my goods. I talked with owner of the public workshop and they said that they can allow me to use my tools, but obviously this is. A bad thing. I mean, I''m not the only production ss user in this game, so if somebody saw me using those tools, they will find out why my stuff is so good and may try to get their own special tools or say stuff online, revealing it to the public, and I don''t want either of those things. I asked the inn owner and she refused for me to use the room as an alchemist workshop So pretty much I was fucked. However, she said that I maybe should rent a house, she said it would work. But the rented house will cost and if I want to set my workshop, I will have to probably have to pay more. She said that I can also buy it. But its not worth considering the fact that I''m nning to leave this ce in the future. With that in mind, I will rent the house. But that will obviously cost WAY and I mean WAY more than renting the room in the in There is also the fact about the materials as well as other necessary stuff for the alchemy. HOWEVER! This isn''t the worst problem. The main problem is theck of yers. If I want to improve my alchemy, I need to make stuff. But then I also need money, so I will need an costumers A.K.A yers and without them, there is no business and instead I will waste my money. And no. I need money if I want to do alchemy and stuff. . Fuck me. Welp. I will just hunt monsters and wait for the yers toe. Wait. Shit. If I make business with them, won''t that make hunt monsters much easier and in turn, level up faster andplete quest faster. Fuck this. I will do it anyway. I know I will end up helping yers level up faster, BUT I need to raise the [Alchemy] level at all cost if I want to start the second research. It will be 100% worth it. So, I guess I will just hunt andplete the quest like before and as soon as the more yers arrive to this ce, I will became a potion merchant once again. Chapter 27 – Potion business. yers started gathering at the Wild town, meaning it was my time to shine. This time I opened a proper stall on the town streets and I also made sure that I stocked up a lot of potions. "Hm?" "WAIT A SECOND! WOOD MASK?!" "?" "Wait. You are that orc that shouted before." - said Phantasia. {{Phantasia first client.}} "Huh. I wasn''t expecting to run into you." C said Phantasia. "You say that, but I honestly wasn''t expecting you to be here." C said the orc yer. "By the way, since when were you here?" "Well, because of that stupid "Doctor" I ended up dying twice, once when I was helping out in the city and the second where I was hunting." C said Phantasia. "Not only that, but because of how shitty state the city was, it was hard to conduct business without being harass by the yers to sell the potions." "So yea, I had no choice but to leave." "But from I heard, the gue stopped around the time I left." "Yea!" C said the orc yer. "You would have never guessed how easily it was to get rid of the gue! I honestly don''t know how it even did so much damage in the first ce!" "I heard from a friend that, so I know the situation." "Anyway, I''m opening my business again. So, want to buy something?" By the look of things, people still remember me and that made selling things much easier. Before more yers got to the town, I quickly used the public workshop to mass produce any potions I can. It should have been enough to earn some money to rent the house, but not for not long term. I need to rent the house and set up my workshop. However, I have problem. My goal is to raise alchemy level ASAP. I can lock myself and do alchemy, but there is two problems. The first problem is money. Now the public workshop is out of the questions since more yers are in the town and I need to rent a house to set up my workshop. The second problem are materials. I can obviously hunt them, BUT I need to focus on alchemy to level it up ASAP. So instead, Ie up with this. "?!" "Hey!" C shouted the dark elf yer. "What the fuck is with those prices?! They are way higher than before!" "Sorry, but I have my own problems and I needed to increase the price." "Are you fuking serious?! Isn''t this too much?!" "Meh. Don''t worry." "I have a new deal." C said Phantasia before taking out a sight and putting it on the ground. "?" "What is this?" C asked confused dark elf yer. "Well, like I said, I have my own circumstances and I don''t have any means of gathering materials right now, so instead I''m offering an Let''s just say a quest?" C said Phantasia. "If you people bring me the materials on the list here, I will be giving you discount. It won''t be 100% one, but I will give you a solid one depending on the materials you bring." Yeb. That was my n. If people bring me materials, I will give them discounts. I made sure that the discount are fair and all, but I need to make sure I will have some money, so I would get both money for my personal needs and to pay up the rent for the house. The tactic worked. People were epting my quest and were getting materials for me. Some peopleined, but overall, they epted my deal since the potions I was selling were quite good. Not only that, the materials I got from the monsters around here were mostly for the armor and stuff, but there were some stuff that could have been used. For example, I made potions like regeneration potion. Well, it was honestly not that good, but it''s still better than my healing potion. I also made an SP potion. People are annoyed withck of SP potions and after a bit of researching, messing around and experimenting, I found the best way to create an SP potion. By the way, both of the potions I made were umon. I tried making a rare rarity one, but these materials had a limit as well. The materials from this ce were better for making things like weapons and amor and I even made myself a new armor set and armor. If I wasn''t in rush to level up the alchemy ss, I would love to split my time between cksmithing and the alchemy. Well, still the potion selling was still selling well. Somepetition did arise, but I was still the best. The things were however bit chaotic when it came to the costumers. Now that I have be a temporarily full time alchemist, I was getting harassed by the yers. Again, people wanted to join their guild or have me just work for them. It was way more annoying than before since now I was working as an alchemist and merchant nonstop. So pretty much I had to deal with that bullshit. By the way, I was curious about something and I did a little investigation before I started my alchemy business. I tried looking around the forest and see if there was anything like in the previous location. I was trying to find any secrets or anything, but nope. There was nothing. I even headed straight to the higher level areas and still didn''t found anything. I guess the forest itself doesn''t have any secrets? Then what about the NPCs? I honestly see something like a secret quest if you increase your favorability with them or something. But I don''t have time for that. So, overall, the situation right now was to make potions, sell potions, make potions, sell potions and repeat. There was NOTHING! I mean like literally nothing. No special event or anything. No NPCs approaching me and offering me a quest. No town wide problem. Nothing! There were instances of the trouble makers besides the people who wanted to be my "FRIENDS", like the guy who tried to steal stuff, but was captured instantly. Or when the fight broke out between the yers who wanted to buy the potions first, but then they were dealt with by guards. I did sold some of my potions to the town guards, but that is all. . Huh. I guess I really have nothing to talk about? It''s quiet a change to say a least? Maybe because I was in nonstop action ever since the first day? But now? I''m no in extremely dire situation where I have to take actions nonstop and all the other stuff. So honestly, that kind of peace is quite new to me. I''m noining if I''m being honest. I''m selling stuff. Making stuff. And researching stuff. I''m getting money and I''m getting better at alchemy while also increasing my alchemy skill level. It''s all good. Peaceful and rxing. Well kind of not rxing with those Karens and other bastards showing up at my stall and all, but. Never mind. Days went by and the business was booming. And after some time passed, the skill [Alchemy] reached natural level 7. I even got 2 new title and one of my already existing titles got upgraded by a lot. [Researcher Of Potions C Rank 2 has reached tier 8.] [+ 1 level up for the alchemy rted ss times one -> [Alchemist] +1] [+ 1 level up for the alchemy rted ss times one -> [Alchemist] +1]n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om [+ 1 level up for the alchemy rted ss times one -> [Alchemist] +1] [+ 1 level up for the alchemy rted ss times one -> [Alchemist] +1] [+ 1 level up for the alchemy rted ss times one -> [Alchemist] +1] [+ 1 level up for the alchemy rted ss times one -> [Alchemist] +1] [You have created countless products using alchemy and each and every single one of them were not the failed products.] [You have obtained title: Alchemist C Tier 1] C [C] [+15 ss Points.] C {{Make 500 alchemy products.}} [You have sessfully sold many different goods while working as merchant.] [You have obtained title: Merchant C Tier 1] C [D] [+3 ss points but only for nonbat rted sses.] Things looks good. It may seem like a few days passed, but oh boy. Weeks, no. A month passed. The time inside the game is 3 times faster than in reality. So, 1 day inside the game is 8 hours. 3 days inside the game is 1 day outside. By the way, the 1 hour in the game is real, meaning it''s a REAL hour. So, yea I WAS FUKING DOING AN ALCHEMY FOR 1 MONTH STRAIGH. Well, the alchemy ss and the cksmith ss have only cost 1 for upgrade, so it does make for it to have some sort of catch... But now I''m quite worried. How long it will take for it reach natural level 9? A month? I honestly won''t be surprised if more. And as for level 10? Fuck me. I need to start producing higher level goods if I want the skill to level up faster. I tried maximizing the effect of the stuff I can get from this area, but this area was really not suited for the alchemists. I need to move out again. Well, it''s not really that problematic. Remember when I said that my potions will help the people in leveling up? I wasn''t wrong. My actions helped people level up faster, meaning that I will find people in the next location. So, I can start doing business with the yers in the next location from get go. However, there is a problem. There are 2 locations I can take. The first is a capital city C Eruka. The second is a city hunting C Draman. The capital city is perfect for business. But it will be way harder to conduct my NASTY research in there. However, many of the yers I helped out probably already left this ce and headed there, meaning I will have 100% chance of opening business in that city and even earn way more money. The second ce is a dangerous city with a lot of monsters. A hunting ground. The Draman city looks like the best option. But the problem is that the Eruka, I can earn a fortune in there if I go full out merchant, I even learned few tricks and other stuff while working at my stall. The Draman is still a better choice on paper. But when I asked merchants and guards, I got to know, they said that its way more dangerous ce than this ce, meaning that the average level of monsters there is much higher. Things. Just can''t be easy, huh? The normal course of action would be the like this. [City: Min -> Town: Wild -> Capital city: Eruka -> Danger city: Draman] That how things should go. If I go to the Eruka, I will get money and I saw how important money is in this world. HOWEVER! I need materials! I know that the Draman is much higher level difficulty than my current level. I may have a lot of titles, but I wasn''t able to I may have my numerous evil titles, but will that be enough? [Money or materials] . Fuck it. I''m going with Draman. Reason? My goal isn''t to get rich, but instead focus on making potions and other stuff using alchemy so the skill level can raise and be able to max out the [Alchemist] ss and in turn, max out the research and start the second research I was aiming for. I know that going to the area that is above my level is way too dangerous, but I need to try. If worstes to worst, I will be forced to move to the capital city. But if it works, the n will work perfectly and I will level up a lot. Not only I would archive my current goal, but I would also be able to get ahead of the others again. So, my next stop is the danger city Draman. Chapter 28 – Preparing to leave. Before my departure, I once again began hunting. I closed down my business and gave up on the house and moved back to the inn to keep the cost minimal. However, moving out of the house meant that I would have stop my business. Many yers were. Not very happy with my course of actions and were looking for me since I was the best alchemist yer in here. The only ones who knew about me were the guards, but I kept them quiet by selling them my remaining potions I had in stock for sale. Anyway, I ended up earning a lot of money thanks to my business, so I won''t have to worry about the money for a while. I hunted a lot of monsters nonstop, leveling up mybat skills while also leveling up my own level. I didn''t had a lot of time to level up mybat skill after I got here, but I did leveled up few times since using alchemy to produce things does give me EXP. Anyway, this ce offers a hunting ground up to level 60 monsters. This location isn''t some sort of important point for the yers but more like a short stop to get used to the outside world after leaving the However, I needed to hunt until I was level 70. Reason? Well the monster in the Draman you can find apparently can be 100 level and over?! So that is the reason why I want to get level 70. Honestly, I could get to the level 70 without much trouble, but the problem is other yers. I can kill them all and spread the gue again to create a shortsting chaos. But I still need to hide myself as "Doctor". Truth to be told, I did considering change my ns and go to the safer location A.K.A the capital city and grow my strength there before, but like I said before, I''m a rush to max out my alchemy ss level to 100 so I can have ability to max level my [Chaos Researcher] ss so I can start the second research. I need better materials for my alchemy, NOW. I may have way more titles than the average yers, but I''m not some sort of main protagonist bullshit level person. Not only that, I have been putting a lot of ss points into production sses, so you know, I''m a hybrid betweenbat ss user and production ss user. The most important ss I have forbat is: [Poisom Mage] Good at harassing as well as poisoning as well as applying debuffs. [Necromancer] Creates meat shields monsters that can fight for me and die for me. This ss also provide some skills that just deals t damage and not like my poison skills that mostly deals damage over time. [Tamer] I can use this ss to tame monsters. This ss does have a side effect of sharing an EXP with the tamed monsters, BUT! You can make them stronger by leveling them up and not only that, I recently found that the monsters can evolve. You know, like those monsters'' catching games where you catch and train monsters. The 3 giant evil rabbits I had: Michel, Andy and Rndo had evolved after hitting level 55 and had be a monster known as Cruel Giant Rabbits. They grow even bigger as well as their fangs and ws grew longer. Honestly, they stopped looking cute and straight up were freaky, I even saw them chop of the monster head and then eat it. Jezus Christ. I was thinking of taming new monsters, but fuck that! They are beasts! I honestly didn''t wanted to abandon them since they were quiet good tanks and damage dealer, but I was wondering about getting a new monsters, since the monsters from the outside the starting zone were much stronger. So, I did had a reason to abandon my rabbits and look for a different monsters to tame, but honestly speaking, I was too busy to look for the different monster. So, I decided to screw it and just focus on hunting. But after I decided to tame a new monster, I found interesting, the rabbits suddenly evolved and that took me off guard. They were "MURDEROUS" to say a least. I was hunting with them nonstop whenever I went hunting, since they were helping me level up faster by gathering monsters for me so I can poison all the monsters from get go. So, yea. I think I will keep them? By the way, I tamed the new monster I was aiming for. It was wild bear. Pretty much, it''s a bear. Like a bear "Bear". No horns or anything like that. Just a brown fur bear. The reason why I tamed it? Well, its strong and its way stronger tank and damage dealer than my rabbits. I was nning to tame new monster beforehand, so I did invested a lot of points into it, but after the rabbits evolved, the cost of having them increased. So, yea. I have a 3 murderously looking rabbits who look like they will mug you and then kill you. And there is fluffy bear I named f who looks like he wants to hug. . What the fuck is wrong with me? What is with this line up? I mean sure I''m evil and all, but really? . Okay. Fuck it. Let''s stop asking questions. Anyway, I think I talked bit too much about the tamer. Em Where was I? Oh right, otherbat sses. [Summoner] Summons monsters but they are extremely weak and only serv as distraction or meat shields. [Chaos Researcher: First Research C [gue]] This one is quite self-exnatory. I mean I use gues, but right now I cannot use them since I need to stay low. So instead, I have 4bat rted sses? Since I cannot use the gue. . And that it. I did though about getting some new sses, but not now. As for my equipment. Well, I had to rece it. Fourteenthly the public workshop was good enough for me to use even withmon tools. [Wild Beast ws] [Rarity: Umon] [Wild Beast Ranger Clock] [Rarity: Umon] [Wild Beast Pants] [Rarity: Umon] [Wild Beast Boots] [Rarity: Umon] [Wild Beast Belt] [Rarity: Umon] [Wild Beast Crossbow] [Rarity: Umon] Well, I didn''t made any rare rarity equipment this time. Maybe I could have if I had my own workshop, but I already gave back the house and all. I fucked up like an idiot straight up. Well, they are not really that bad. They don''t have any special effects and instead have high stats. Anyway, the leveling up process did took a while, even with my upgrades and as well as my new "Pets", I was able to level up a lot. Before long, the goal: Level 70, was reached. Honestly, if I FUKING knew the things would turn like this, I would just focus on leveling up instead of setting my business. It may seem like a waste of time and maybe it did. But oh well, I didn''t know about this. It''s not like I can see a future or something. I honestly though I would be able to reach the level 10 alchemy skill in this ce. I probably would, but it would take too long for me. Anyway, I packed my things up. Sold any valuable materials and other stuff I didn''t wanted to bring like the monsters'' materials that were now useless for me and were better sold so I can earn some money. Afterworlds, I took the first carriage that I could find that could take me there and even paid for it and just left the town just like that without any goodbyes. So, yea. I just left that town like that.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Honestly, I was bit confided about my situation. But there were several problems, like how I need another base like a house, but that would cost money and I don''t have the best costumers A.K.A yers. There is also the case that I will definitely struggle on the start and my monsters will definitely get cooked by the monsters there early on until they level up many times. There was also problem that my equipment may not be enough and my skill levels weren''t high enough. Well. I prepared the best I can But now I''m getting nervous. . Well. I''m already riding the freaking carriage. So, yea. I guess we will see and find out if I really chose that ce too early or not. Chapter 29 – Second city. "" "Hey. Youn man. Wake up." C said the caravan driver. "?" "What is it?" C asked Phantasia while lying inside the caravan. "We are here. The Draman." "!" Phantasia got up and looked outside the caravan and saw a massive city walls right in front of him. "?!" "Surprised?" C asked the driver. "The walls around the Draman are quiet tall and thick since the area they are right next to is something called monsters forest that is straight up infested to the brim with the monsters." "This kind of ce is also an solid market ce for the merchants to buy monsters parts as well as some other stuff you can get from the forest." "Because of that, this and the capital city are directly connected for many different reasons, but mostly for the profit as well as to attract merchants." "..Huh Interesting." (So if I try to pull the shit I did in the Min city with the gue, they would straight up end me.) (Even experimenting with the gues are out of questions.) (Still, I will need anboratory, but not now.) (Right now I need to get to the inn and get the room that I can use to keep my stuff in and then start hunting so I can level up fast.) (I need to grow strong enough so I can secure myself an solid line of supplies whenever I would go hunting.) (I have a lot of money after my alchemy business, but it will be not enough since Ick the main clients A.K.A yers.) (In the town, I was able to sell my potions to the NPCs, but mostly yers were buying them since they were desperate.) (As for this ce? I don''t know.) (I don''t know if NPCs need to buy potions or they have private alchemist or maybe a merchant that is selling them potions.) (So, I doubt I will be able to be merchant any time.) (That means the monsters hunting will be my only ie.) Before long the caravan driver got inside the city and the Phantasia got off the carriage and finally finding himself inside the city. "Thanks. Hope you have safe travels." C said Phantasia. "You too." C replied the merchant before driving away. () (Wow.) (This is. Nothing like the Min.) (The Min was a simple small city to the point it could have been called town instead, but this? Holy shit its well developed and I think it''s may be quite big. I can see that tall wall on the other end all the way from here.) (What I looked on the map I bought, the Draman and the Eruka are quiet far away from each other.) (Honestly, the caravan driver did surprised me that two of them were directly connected since the travel between both cities would take a lot of time, but now? It has gotten. More interesting?) (I''m really curios about this ce and honestly, I maybe should take a look around. Well more like I have to since I literally got here.) (I need to find an workshop as well as things like shops and see if there is anything like an quest board or something where people post their quest.) (Its also good to look for any source of the informations regarding the monsters in the area.) (Especially the lowest level ones since I need to target them.) After finally arriving at the Draman city, I began looking around, trying to get a rough picture of the city and oh boy, this ce is straight up massive. I spend hours walking around, getting info about the city and some important bits of informations. One of the most important bits I found is the adventurer guild. You know, the ones from mangas/manhwas. This one is bit different. Its more like an organization that is directly managed by the kingdom and apparently different countries have their own adventurer guilds. Simple put, the adventurer guild kind of works like that quest board I saw and used before. They can post quest publicly made by people OR they can post their own quest. For example: Hunt this and give us that. The stuff then would get to the people in charge in the country or the city. This is honestly a nice system. Its both beneficial for the yers and NPCs, but by the look of things even the settlements themselves or the country itself can benefit. By the way, the reason why Min and Wild didn''t had anything like that is apparently because they were too peaceful nor there was anything special there. Well, there were not wrong, the monsters themselves weren''t even a real threat to the city and the guards there were enough if anything would have happened. Anyway, I pretty walked around for hours, looking around. Honestly, I don''t think 1 day is enough to look though that entire city. I was nning on looking around, but I need first do my current objective. My current objective is to see if I can even survive in this ce. What is the point of looking around if I end up finding that I cannot survive here and would be forced to give on this n and go back to the Eruka? So, I asked around about the adventurer guild and went there after finding out about its location and before long I found myself in front of it. (.) (Huh. It does quiet stand out.) (And there is also that symbol of the googles and the sword, just like that orc merchant said.) C though Phantasia before entering the building momentter. "." (Huh. Not too shabby.) (If anything, it does scream "Adventurer guild from fantasy vibe".) (There is even bar inside, probably for the people to rx or discuss their ns.) (?) Phantasia noticed a giant wide board hanging on the wall with many different posters and other papers hanging on it. Curios Phantasia approached it and began investigating it. (Yeb. It''s a quest board.) (.) (Huh Some of these quest are very detailed. For example, this one has a hand drawn picture of the monster with the details how they look and where to find them. Well, it kind of make sense that they would do it, since the easier we hunt them and faster, the bigger profit they would gain.) (Anyway, where-) "Excuse me." C said the female voice. "?" Phantasia looked to his right and saw the young dark elfdy right next to him. "Yes?" C asked confused Phantasia. "You are new here, right?" C asked the dark elf worker. "Well, yes?" "Is something wrong?" "Well, its just that we didn''t see a lot of wonderers in here." "?" "Did nobody came here?" "No. Its just that they couldn''t handle it and left." (Make sense.) "So. Are you also going to leave?" C asked the annoyed dark elf. "Well It depends." "Honestly, I came here to gather the information on the monsters here, since no adventurer knew anything." "They only knew that this ce has more dangerous monsters that capital city, but not details." "But, even if they knew, I don''t think you will see adventures for some time." "Hm? Why?" C asked confused dark elf. Phantasia began exining the situation about the Min and about the gue. "" "I did heard the rumors, but to think that the story about that weird gue that disappeared like nothing was real?" C asked the shocked dark elf. "Yeb. And I was even the eye witness." "The gue is gone and all, but it did damaged Min city and slowed down the progress of the growth for the many like me." "I got lucky grew strong enough to escape." "It will take some time, but other adventurers wille here." "As for me? Well, I''m here to find out what is the minimal requirement to stay here." "I''m bit stronger than average adventurer, but I know I''m not some sort of overpowered protagonist or something so I''m looking for the easiest hunting quest and see how things will go." "Any rmendations?" "Hm."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "Well, this one I guess." C said the female dark elf while taking one of the request off the board and handing it to the Phantasia. "Some of the others adventurers tried it, but they failed. Honestly, I won''t be surprised if you fail it too, considering the whole situation you told me about." [Quest: Hunt down the Dugu] [Quest rank: C] [Dugu is a humanoid monsters with one eye and 3 finger ws arms.] [They are below the adult human height, but they are quiet and dangerous.] [They are an invasive species that is quiet annoying to deal with but their eyes and ws can be used for crafting.] [Bring 60 ws that belongs to Dugus as well as 10 eyes that belongs to them to the guild.] [Reward: 5 gold.] "If you can''tplete it, I rmend you to leave." "." "Well, we will see if I really can beat them or not soon enough." - replied Phantasia while holding the piece of paper containing the information about the quest. Chapter 30 – Danger city trial. After I epted the quest from the adventurer guild, I quickly left city and headed towards the forest. "" (Wow. Even this ce is massive, even though I didn''t even entered I can straight up tell because of those tall ass trees!) (This does give a huge fantasy vibe.) (But, the thing that she said is bit worrying.) Dugu are monsters with level around 80, but that isn''t the main problem. They hunt together. (I''m level 70, but the people that came before me were probably level 60.) (The 20 level difference is 200 stat points and 100 ss points difference.) (However, the yers have ess to the stuff like weapons and armor and so far, the monster I fought were only a little smart at the best, but that it.) (Not only that, yers can get titles and have their skills level grow bybat and other stuff, making themselves stronger in the process.) (However considering the fact that all yers failed means that they weren''t strong enough.) (They probably didn''t had good enough equipment and didn''t had enough titles.) (As for me?) (I may have a chance, but only a chance. I don''t know if I have 100% or 50% at winning or losing.) (Fuck me. I''m really getting nervous right now.) "" (Okay. Let''s go over my weapons again.) (With my poison magic, I can try and fight like a coward and wait for my enemy to die by the poison effect.) (I also have tamed monsters and summoned monsters that I can use at frontlines and as meat shields, but they may end up getting screwed.) (I also have this new skill.) [Chaos Researcher: First Research C gue]n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om [ Skill [gue Aura] ] [Skill type: Passive C Category: Aura / Debuff / Poison] [Enemies near you will take increased damage taken from the poison damage overtime by the enemies by X%. X is equal to the ss level times 1%, this effect works with multiple poisons effects. This only works with your poison and gue effects] [Aura range: Y meters. Y is equal to the skill level times 2.] [The effect of the aura doesn''t lingers outside the its range.] (This is honestly quiet interesting skill.) (However. Right now, it has only range of 2 meters in all directions and only increase poison damage by 1%.... It will be good at level 10 But right now, its trash.) (The only benefits its that the aura is in all directions 2 meters and the fact that its passive.) (However. FUCK ME!) (If I try to do my tactic with the hiding and spreading the gue, this skill will straight up rm them about me being nearby!) (Fuck me!) (I would rather take something like 2.5% damage increase at level 10 without any range resection instead, since it wouldn''t reveal my location.) "" (Well, at least I can turn it off and on, so I can at least have some means of hiding it?) (Anyway, let''s just forget about it and focus on the task at hand.) (I''m still in front of that god dammed forest and I''ve been only getting more nervous now.) "" "Fuck it." Phantasia walked towards the forest and before long he entered it. "." "Huh." (Okay? I though this ce would be like some sort of jungle when I looked at it from outside.) (But now that I got inside? There is straight up a lot of space around!) (I though those trees would be extremely thick to the point they would make the space between them be small or something, but nope.) (. Huh. Its quiet-) Suddenly Phantasia heard somethinging towards him and when he looked to his right, he saw a giant wing straight at him. "?!" Phantasia quickly moved back, dodging the attack. (FROM GET GO?!) Phantasia quickly backed away before noticing a small humanoid monster with orange skin, wide mouth, 1 giant eyeball as well as a weird giant 3 fingered ws arms. [Dugu C Level 79] [Dugu C Level 78] (2 from get go, huh?) (Fuck me!) (Okay. That one is kind of me.) (I was enjoying the scenery and all since it looked cool and beautiful.) (But now it''s time to fight!) "[Poison Smoke]!" Phantasia fired a smoke of poison towards the monsters, hitting one of them and scarring the other. (Good, now-) Suddenly the ws came at him from the smoke. "?!" Phantasia quickly grabbed the monster arm and did over the shoulder throw. (FUCK ME!) (OKAY THAT STRAIGH UP SCARED ME!) (It fuking didn''t retreated and instead rushed me?!) (Does it don''t care if its poisoned or not?! Monsters usually get scared when an fuking CLOUD OF POISON FLY AT THEM!) The monster that was throwed quickly got up from the ground and set its sight again at Phantasia and the second dugu walked around the poison cloud and began running straight towards him. Phantasia quickly turned toward the monster that was running toward him and fired [Sticky Goo], hitting the running monster and slowing it down. But the other monster that the Phantasia took his eye off was now the one running and was already close to him. This time, he didn''t had time to counter attack and used his arms as a shield to block the monster sh attack using its ws. Phantasia took the hit, but his heavy armored w gauntlets took the hit, reducing the damage taken before then using his own ws to sh across the monster chest as well as using the poison that was covering the ws in order to poison the monster. After poisoning the monster again, Phantasies quickly kicked the monster in the chest, pushing it away and gaining some distance. But the other monster who was hit with the debuff attack was heading towards Phantasies. (SHIT!) "[Tame Summon]!" Phantasia summoned his rabbits and bear monsters to slow down the debuffed monster while he himself focused on the poisoned one. Phantasia began firing the [Poison Shot(s)] at the monster while it continues charging at him. However as soon as the monster got close to him, he got hit with the [Acid de] head on, dealing massive amount of damage to the monster and killing it. "!" Phantasia tried to calm down, but then he remember that there was the other one still alive and quickly assisted his monsters before any of them died. Before long, the second monster was killed. "" "Holy shit. I did it." (BUT IT WAS ANNOYING AS FUCK!) (These guys were fighting together, but weren''t that smart.) (However the annoying part about them was their w attacks that dealt lot of damage.) (If I didn''t blocked that attack back then, it would straight up hurt like hell.) (Well I confirmed I can hunt them, I even leveled up just now as well as my beasts, but it will be problematic.) (If I didn''t reacted back then when those ws came out from the smoke, I would have probably died.) "...Shit." (Okay. Lets go over the facts.) (I CAN hunt here, but it''s extremely difficulty.) (Not only that, those are the weakest monsters but they almost killed me.) (Probably the reason why I won was because I was stalling for the poison to deal enough damage so I can finish them off.) (I helped my monsters, but even so, they lost some of their HP, fuck me.) (BUT!) (I can hunt them and they gave a lot of EXP. Not only that, they dropped a lot of ws and 2 eyes, so finishing the quest wouldn''t be problematic in terms of hunting for the materials.) (However. Can I take on 3 of them? I probably can with my poison attacks, but what about 4 or 5 at the same time?) (If I y like a total coward is possible and my acid attacks can finish off the enemies, then maybe? But I''m not 100% sure it would work, considering that these guys aimed for the kill without the care about their own wellbeing, it made attacking them easier, but it also made them more dangerous and if we add the fact that they have high attack, it makes things even more annoying.) (However, there high chance that my monsters will die while fighting.) "" "Fuck it." "Let''s do it." The n is risky right now and I saw it, but I need to do it. The monsters can die for all I care. All that is matters is that I level up again and again, making my way to these lowest level monsters'' level and be able kill them more easily. I know that the hunting near the capital city would be safer with the lower risk of dying. But this time I wasn''t greedy; I was trying to think and realized the risk is worth it. It will be bit annoying, but the risk is worth it, even if I end up dying in the result, it still should be worth it. However, I need to y safe and not die many times or I''m fucked. And so, I began hunting those bastards. It was hard, but I was leveling up and growing stronger. There were some problems when 5 or 6 showed up at the time, but I managed to y like a coward by running away while hitting them with the poison over time effect over and over again until they dropped dead. Well, I did needed to put some points into stamina and agility, SINCE I FUKING NEEDED TO RUN! But overall, I didn''t died once. I had to run away multiple times and be a coward or use my own monsters at meat shields, but I was winning. I was getting EXP and leveling up, over and over again. Before long, I managed toplete the quest! . But it wasn''t over. I wasn''t still below their level! Not only me, but my monsters! I will fuking hunt more of these bastards until they may as well go extinct! I may havegged a lot in terms of levels behind all others yers, both the yers that started with me as well as from different locations, but not anymore. Now its time for me to catch up to them. No. Don''t be greedy and cocky you bastard. Last time you let them consume you, you fucked up big time with the gue. Be greedy, but don''t let it consume you. Don''t focus on the leveling up alone. Your goal is to get materials and money so I can finish research and start the second time. Don''t get greedy and cocky, just wait. It doesn''t matter if I wait 1 or maybe 3 months or even a half of a year, it will be all worth it. But once I''m ready, I will show those motherfuckers the real chaos! Chapter 31 – The trial is passed. [At the city.] "I confirmed the necessary materials, here is your payment mister Phantasia." C said female guild worker while handing over the money. "Thank you." It''s been. Quiet long time since I got here. I''ve been hunting those Dugu nonstop ever since I got here and I have beenpleting that repeat quest from the guild nonstop. The Dugu may have level between 78 C 85, but the most annoying thing about them were their numbers. I even saw once higher level monster getting killed by them easily. And that monster was level 100 monster! A group of around level 80 monsters had one sidedly eaten alive level 100 monster. So, yea Their main strength isn''t level, but their numbers. Not only that, after I killed the ones at the forest edges. It became hell a lot of harder.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om I have been encounter a lot of them at the same time now, making the hunting way riskier. I even ended up losing my left leg and arm in the process once and had to call quits until I recover. Well, I also have died for the first time as well at their hands, I got unlucky and ran into 12 of them at the same time while I was running away from 5. Yea. That was one sided beatdown. I even lost my level and was unlucky to drop my gloves, fortunately I was able to take them back. But then I had to run away since I was spotted by that same group from before. So, yea, the first death wasn''t fun as well as consequences of dying. By the way, when you lose level, you don''t lose the skill points and stat points, no matter if you used them or not, however you will lose the all stat increase and getting your level back won''t give you any benefits, meaning no skill points or stat points, you only get your all stat up you lost. But overall, things worked great after a while. My current level is 87 and I even got 2 new titles and one got upgraded. [Tricker Hunter C Tier 1] [Rarity: D(Grow)] [Hunt many enemies using traps as well as other dirty tactics instead of confronting them head on.] [+5 ss points.] [You have killed countless enemies by letting them die via poisoning.] [Poison Tier 1 has be tier 2] [Title Rank: D (Grow) [Increase the damage done by the poison type attacks (Not including items) done by you by (1%) -> 2%] Not only that, but my tamed monsters leveled up a lot. I know that they maybe be angry at me, but it was worth it. They got stronger and they kind of let off their steam on those fuckers. Thank fuking god it wasn''t me. (Well, at least I archived my main goal of leveling up.) (The poison mage had hit level 100 and now only alchemy ss is left.) (However, the problematic things are the monsters stronger than Dugu.) (Dugu main strength is their numbers when fighting together, but the high level monsters will be more problematic.) (However, I''m getting closer!) (Now all I need is an alchemy materials I can use!) (I have some of the left over Dugu eyes I kept for myself for the alchemy research, but I need more stuff.) (Now that I have enough strength, I can gather materials in the forest without that much trouble and won''t have to focus on the survival all the time.) (But first, lets see what kind of quest I can take?) (It will help me get some extra cash and maybe get some interesting materials I can use for the alchemy.) "" "?!" [Hunt down the Weed Dragon] "Dragon?!" C said the Phantasia out loud after noticing one of the quests "?" "Oh?" C said the guild worker that was cleaning nearby, hearing themotion that the Phantasia was making and deciding to walk towards him. "?" "Oh. Hi Emili." C said Phantasia to female dark elf worker. "Hi." "So, is something wrong? You looked worried there?" "Oh Well, this." "?" "Oh, weed dragon quest. Is something wrong?" "Well, aren''t the dragons some powerful and mighty creatures? Won''t it just burn me down or something?" "Nope." "I see you don''t know much about dragons." C said Emili. "True, children and some people do see dragons as big and scary monsters, but they are reallyplicated." "Like beasts, bird or fish monsters, there also exist dragon monsters." "There are big scary ones, but there are also dragons that are extremely weak that even farmer can kill." "So dragon is more like an category of the race." "By the way, the giant dragon like creatures you know from the stories are known as just dragons." "The weed dragon is an nt dragon monster." "However they aren''t like the giant scary monsters." "The weed dragons can evolve into different version, so they can be versatile." "So if you hunt them as well as its evolved forms, we can pay you for them as well as it will fulfil the quest conditions." "The weed dragons are omnivorous, meaning that they eat both nts and living beings." "You can pretty much find them quiet easily if you see bite marks on the trees or the eaten remains, they are like vultures that don''t mind eating rotting remains." "" "So in terms of strength, how strong are they?" "Hm. Well, a bit above average their own level, but only a bit, nothing like extremely powerful, so even average joe can hunt them down without much problem." "Huh. So, I guess I was scared for no reason?" "Yeb. They aren''t really that dangerous, but more of an annoyance." "However, the evolved version are bit problematic." "The dandelion dragon can spit a magic breath from its mouth." "The ntain dragon have high defense and clover dragon is an offensive one." "There are other version, but these ones only appear here." "There is also some weed dragons that have special evolutions." "For example, the weed dragon who had be parent weed dragon." "There is also quest rted to hunting them down, so if you like, you can take the quest regarding them, but be warned, they are way stronger than weed dragons." (So it''s like a boss, huh? Kind of like that giant sewer rat or that giant wild bear I hunted in the Wild town.) "Hm?" "Wait, the quest description said that you want materials from them if possible and the payment will be done after receiving the materials?" "Yea." "The weed dragons are annoying, but their entire bodies can be used for the alchemy." "?!" (Did she said alchemy?! And their entire body?!) "Does that includes their evolved forms and the parent version?" C asked excited Phantasia. "Well, yes, but I don''t know much how or what it is used for." C said the dark elf. "I see." C said Phantasia. "Then I have question." "If I kill them but don''t hand over all the materials, would that still count as the questpletion?" "Nope. You need to give the materials toplete the quest." "However, we will buy them at reasonable price and bit more since it was a quest." "I see." "" "Then I will take it." C said Phantasies while taking off the piece of paper off the board. [You have epted the quest.] "Well then, I wish you good luck." C said the dark elf. "No problems." C replied Phantasia before leaving the guild. (Well, well, well.) (Would you FUKING look at that!) (Their level is around 90 and above as well as the possibility it can be level 100, but I will manage!) (Not only that, their entire bodies can be used for alchemy?!) (This is way too perfect! Did I after getting kicked in the ass and getting unlucky again and again had now charged up and granted me luck?!) () (Wait, if that is the case, won''t I get unlucky in the near future again or something and get fucked?) "." (Let''s not think about it.) (For now, it''s better if I look a bit about those weed dragons from the merchants and also use the materials, I got from those w bastards to make myself new gauntlet. I think their ws will be useful. I also need a new crossbow since myst one ended up breaking after I was chased around by those bastards.) (But anyway, after securing the materials, I will be finally able to start the research and the production.) (And soon, everything will be done and ready for the me to start the second research.) (So, let''s not waste any more time now.) Chapter 32 – Towards the second research. After doing the necessary preparation and restocking my potions and recing my weapons, I headed towards the forest in order hunt down the weed dragons. (You know, I''ve been in this forest many times already, but I still can''t get enough of this ce.) (It is dangerous and all, but it''s quite beautiful as well.) "Well, there are those fuckers so it makes things annoying." C said Phantasia while holding some monster with his hand. [Dugu C Level 84] Phantasia snapped the monster neck, killing it and dropping its corpse on the ground. (These bastards aren''t as hard as before, but still they are extremely annoying and deadly if they ran at you in packs.) (They even almost killed me when I had higher level than them.) (They are extremely problematic bastards.) (Anyway, the location pointed out by the quest should be somewhere here.) (Let''s look around.) Phantasia began looking around for any of the tracks left behind by the weed dragons while also dealing with dugus who came at him. After some time passed, Phantasia found a tree covered on the one side with bite marks. (Found it!) (Okay. Now I need to look for those weed dragons.) "?" (Oh. Found some already.) C though Phantasia after looking behind the tree and seeing his target. The monster that Phantasia spotted was indeed his target, the weed dragon. The weed dragon wasrge and long monsters, simr to a big dog. The monster torso looked like giant pile of leaves clustered together and from it, 4 legs were sticking out from it that looked like some sort of giant leaves, but were extremely thick and even each one posed deadly set of thorn ws sticking out. The monster didn''t possess any wings, but instead a long thick leave sticking out from its back that resembles wings, but were in reality not real wings. The monster head looked most interesting with its appearance. The monster upper and lower part looked like there were just 2 giant leaves, but its fangs looked like thorns. "" (It honestly look like a lizard than a dragon, but okay.) (Anyway, it doesn''t seem to have noticed me.) () (Let''s start off with the crossbow.) [Dugu Hunter Crossbow] [Rarity: Umon] [A powerful crossbow that possess a high fire power, but requires bit of time to prepare in order to use it again.] [Attack Power: 120-155] [Restriction: Level 85] [Dugu Hunter Bolt] [Rarity: Umon] [Attack Power: 20-60] (This crossbow has extremely high attack together with the bolt, but it turn it takes a bit of time to reload.) (But fuck it.) C though Phantasia while aiming with his crossbow from the hidden spot. (It makes it bit problematic in the longerstingbat, but for hunting some annoying monsters its perfect!) Phantasia aimed with his crossbow and aimed at the monster head. After aiming perfectly, he pulled the trigger and the w bolt flew at the dragon monster. The monster heard the crossbow firing and before it could even turn its head around, the belt hit and pierced it right in the head, killing it instantly. "." "Huh. I honestly though it would survive that, since its nt and all, but nope?" Phantasia looked around and after making sure there was no monsters nearby, he approached the monster corpse and retried his bolt. (Well, she said that even average joe can take them down without much problem, so critical hit like that is quite obvious an instant death. Not only that, the crossbow unlike the other weapons who depends on stats like strength or agility, it instead has just straight up high attack. I also sacrificed the reload speed for the damage, turning it into quiet deadly weapon.) (Anyway. Yes, they are here.) [Weed Dragon Limbs] [Weed Dragon Heart] (I didn''t got the tail, but it''s still something.) (ording to the information from the merchant and the alchemist in the city, the weed dragon materials are extremely valuable for many different things.) (Especially mana rted stuff since those materials contain good amount of mana.) (With this and my equipment, I will be able to produce rare rarity potions in theory!) (There are also the evolved version and the boss one!) (SOON!) (As soon as I gather enough materials, I can start working and then the second research can start!) "" "And by the look of things they came on their own." Phantasia looked on his right and saw 3 weed dragonsing his way. After noticing the monster, the undead brough out his monsters onto the battlefield. "Time to hunt you bastards!" The three weed dragons began running towards Phantasia while his own monster ran at them to confront them. (It will take time to reload, but I would like to finish this fast.) C though Phantasia while putting away his crossbow and reading his ws for the fight. Phantasia put his hand in front of him and began firing the bone projectiles at one of weed dragons, hitting it over and over. The monster tried dodging, but as soon it would do that, the undead would fire a stronger attack, catching the monster off guard. As for Phantasia other monsters, the bear was holding back the weed dragon without much problem and the 3 evil thug rabbits well. They were just straight up bullying it like some sort of thungs while also robbing it? . What the fuck is wrong with those rabbits? . Anyway, the weed monster continues fighting off against Phantasia, but before long the weed dragon who was getting fired at non stop ended up being thorn to shreds before momentster Phantasia rushed at the second weed dragon who was facing off against the bear and quickly ripped of its limbs with its ws before having the bear smash it. Thest one standing was the one. Em. Thest weed dragon was getting bullied to death by the rabbit. Phantasia just joined and killed it alongside its bear and rabbits, pretty much killing it instantly after two of them joined. "" "Huh. They are way easier than dugus?" (They don''t cooperate with each other and they are even more stupid than them. Wow. I mean, they had higher level than us, but that was straight up one sided.) "." "The fuck." (I mean, I''m grateful and all, but I was honestly thinking that my luck would not bite me in the ass and turn my situation shitty in just few seconds.) (But nope? The fuck is going on?) () (No. Fuck you! I''m keeping my guard up! I know something fucked up will happened to me soon.) [Few momentster.] "." "You got to be fuking kidding me." [You have in: Dandelion Dragon C Level 95] [You have in: Clover Dragon C Level 97] (They were harder, but not extremely hard???) (I mean, I did had to y like a coward a bit, but still I won without any mayor problems? Their skills were indeed annoying, but that it?) (. Huh.) (By the way, how does evolution works for the weed dragons? Some of them had same level as weed dragons, the evolved forms.) (Do they need to meet specific conditions instead of leveling up?) () (Well, I''m notining about that either, since the materials I got from them are much betterpare to the regr version.) "Hey, you all fine?" C asked Phantasia to his tamed monsters. The tamed monsters gave sight that they are okay. "" (Huh. They also got much strongerpare to the before.) (Before even a little fight would exhausted, since we were weaklings, but now?) (The leveling up speed got way fasterpare to before and many of mybat rted skills leveled up a lot, giving me a solid power up.) (Not only that, but the new weapons are also making things much easier.) (The crossbow is one shot only inbat, but it has devastating power.) (And as for the gloves, they are light and sharp, allowing me to give nasty wounds and poison the enemy easily if I cover my ws with poison.) (.) (Should I aim for the boss monster?) (I have money, so the thing I should be aiming for should be materials.)n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om (But the boss monster will be probably much higher level. Meh. Let''s not rush it now.) (Lets just focus on hunting the weed dragons and its evolved variants first while leveling up. Getting greedy like an idiot because I realize I can beat them doesn''t mean I should rush it.) (I experiencest time cold and hard reality once I tried rushing things, like with the gue, I rushed it because I was over confined and ended up fucking everything up.) (Focus on gathering the materials. Reach the level 10 with alchemy skill and then max out the alchemist ss.) (I didn''t used any of my ss points and I have them stocked up.) (Don''t rush and be a greedy idiot like before.) (Take your time.) I decided to ignore the boss monster. I know that hunting it down will be very rewarding in many different ways, but its not my goal right now. Materials. The materials from the weed dragons will be the thing that will help me to improve my research. However, there is one thing I should mention. The yers that went to the capital city may start appearing soon, a lot of time passed and all, so this time some people wille here and won''t die and will be able to stay. So, yea, I''m again running out of the peace. Okay, I think I can rush it a bit with the material collecting. So, yea, I hunted those monsters left and right for a long time while also leveling up a lot. After long time, I ended up stocking up on a lot of the weed dragon materials. I sold some of them to the guild for some cash, but I kept most of it for my experiment. Before long, I had both money and materials. I went to the public workshop and brough my own equipment with me, well only some. Honestly, I wasn''t expecting the public workshop in this ce to be better than the Wild or Min, but okay? Maybe its opposite? Maybe the Min and Wild public workshop sucked since they were starting locations? Either way, I brough some of my own alchemist equipment I had stored in the city and began experimenting. The weed dragon materials alone are quite interesting. Its body parts can be cut up, boiled for long time and be turned into a weird green stuff. It doesn''t look interesting and its quite ugly, but it contains a lot of mana. AND if you mix it up with the healing potions materials or mana or stamina ones instead, you will get some interesting results. The potions effect got boosted, but the limbs weren''t the best parts. The tail can be used for the health potion while the heart can be used for creating strong mana potion. Heart is a rare drop from the weed dragons, but oh boy! It''s a good stuff! By the way, for somebody wondering, the skill level of the [Alchemy] had increased! Not only that, thanks to my experience with using those tools from the hideout as well as thanks to the info from the merchants and the alchemist regarding the weed dragons materials, I knew before hand what short of effect they could have. This allbined made making and researching potions WAY easier. But also, my experience as the alchemist made me realize that with more experiments as alchemist, not as the ss or anything, but as practicing alchemy and doing a lot of different stuff will help you improve yourself as alchemist. So, yea, things were going well. And not only that, but I was finally able to mass produce rare rarity potions. [Danger Forest Healing Potion] [Rarity: Umon] [Danger Forest Mana Potion] [Rarity: Umon] [Danger Forest Stamina Potion] [Rarity: Umon] [Weed Dragon Potion] [Rarity: Rare] By the way, even though the [Weed Dragon Potion] is my best potion I''ve made so far. But! I can make them stronger! These things are only test version and I have many ideas on how I could improve them! For example, by mixing small ration of the weed dragon heart or maybe adding some of the dugus eyes. Its possible to make those potions into rare rarity ones and maybe I will be able to create something with higher rarity than rare pretty soon? Well, it will unforgettably take bit more time. The weed dragon materials ARE indeed extremely useful, but unfortunately their raw form cannot be used for alchemy, you need to first change them into something usable like a liquid form and like I said before, it takes time. Well, honestly, I''mining. These potions are only experimental version that can be improved and yet they are that good. And I can say 100% I can turn those potions into rare rarity one. As for the [Weed Dragon Potion], I don''t know. I can definitely make it stronger, but can I make it rank go 1 up higher? If so, it would be a huge sess. So, yea, the materials from the weed dragons are WAY better than I though. Not only that, I still have materials from its evolved version that I can mess around with. Maybe I canbine them with the regr weed dragon materials and strengthen the potions effects? So many ideas that I want to test out now! . But there is one thing I need to mention. yers areing here and I saw some of them in here while I was doing shopping. I don''t know how long it will take, but the yers WILL get here. I don''t care. My current research is getting closer to entering the finally stage I was aiming for. I don''t care if they see me in the public workshop or see me use my special tools, I DON''T FUKING CARE! The current goal is right in front of me! And all I need to do is to ignore everything and focus. Experiment more! Produce more! The [Alchemy] skill will soon reach level 10. It just matter of weeks or maybe days now. The thing I was waiting for so long will be done and the second research I was waiting for shit how long will be avable to me. So, screw everything and focus what is Infront of you. Be patient and you shall be rewarded. And once the enough rewards are imed, I shall show myself to the world once again and let the "Doctor" on the lose! Chapter 33 – Chaos Researcher - The second research. Pretty much, I spend all of my time locked in the public workshop, researching and improving my potions. I did take some time and resources, BUT! I managed to upgrade my potions to rare rarity! Well, I did spend days and all, but it was worth it. However, as for the [Weed Dragon Potion]? It got better, but it''s still rare. I tried everything, but nothing gave the better results than the current version. Weird. How much difference there must be for the potion to be epic in terms of rarity? Maybe I need the materials from the boss monsters and use small rations of it to create the epic rarity potion? . Well, it doesn''t matter now. Thanks to the days of hunting, I have both money and materials. So now all that is left is produce goods. The weed dragon rted potions take time since before I can even make them, I need to precede the materials from the weed dragon to the useable state. It was taking time, but my [Alchemy] skill was leveling up. Not only I was making way better potions, but also potions of the higher rarity at that, so everything was smooth sailing right now. I have already made a lot of potions and I think I may try and sell some of them to the guards. If that won''t work, then I can just wait for more yers to show up so I can start doing business and gain back the money I lost while doing my alchemy research and other stuff. Anyway, as nned, I continue mass produce the potions while also researching them. AND FUKING FINALY! [Skill [Alchemy] has reached level 10!] "FUKING FINALY!" "" "Em." C said the worker at public workshop that was passing by while carrying some materials to the storage. "!" "S-sorry!" C said Phantasia. "" C the worker walked away quietly. "" (Anyway.) (FUCK YEA!)

Not only that, it should work well with the gue aura.) (It doesn''t sound that scary at first, but with leveling up it will be kind of broken.) (But still. I was honestly expecting. Something more broken?) (Well, I did used a lot of ss points and all... Hm Maybe it isn''t that bad?) (The first effects only increase my damage over time effect, but it can reach 30% increase at level 10. With poison mage being specialized in damage over time, it''s quite broken.) (The second effect that extend duration of the effect is also good, quite weak right now, pretty trash, but okay once it levels up.) (The two effects work well with each other.) (This skill is quiet "Meh", but once it levels up it will be good.) (But, to use it to its full poetical I need level it up AND I need to have useful gue that can deal a lot of damage to harass this skill, for example a gue that only focuses on damage and not spreading maybe? But the gues are about infection. Shit. Its problematic.) (But the cost. It''s annoying.) (500 MP isn''t a small cost and it also eats MP every second.)

(Still, this will be the only skill I can use to collect the stuff for making chimeras.) (I also got a third skill.) [Chimera Barracks] [Active/Passive] [You can use this skill to store the chimeras inside.] [You can register chimeras with this skill.

This one is a storing skill for monsters.) (. Wait.) Phantasia began looking into the skills as well as the details about them in order to find something with annoyed look. "." "Fuck." (It''s like necromancer.) (Necromancer monsters can die and will be not revived over time like the tamed monsters, unless they are registered.) (That means I can lose chimeras that I made.) (This is bit problematic... But okay.) (Well, maybe I can also use my undead storing skill to target chimeras? They will be undeads...) () C Phantasia suddenly stopped. (Wati a fuking second.) C though Phantasia after noticing something. [Chimera Body Parts Collection] [Can use your own monsters you own, besides chimeras.] (.) "Wait, wait, wait. Hold on the fuking second." C said Phantasia while holding his head. (I can sacrifice my monsters for the chimera creation?! Like the bear and rabbits can be used? My tamed monsters?) (This is straight up fucked up!) (I can sacrifice mypanions I was fighting with for so long in order to made them into my ves?) "." "INTERESTING!" (But wait, if that would work, how much would the chimera cost?) (These rabbits and the bear are now quite strong...) (.) (Hm.) () (I need to test it out.) I packed up all of my things and quickly prepared myself before heading straight to the monster forest. The goal is simple, find monsters, kill monsters, take their corpse and body parts. "" (There are few yers hanging around. No wonder.) (I spend a lot of time in here, so it was about time yers starteding AND hunting here.) (They are hunting dugues right now, but there probably some that are hunting weed dragons.) (I need to hurry.) Phantasia began walking around the forest, trying to find the suitable prey while trying not to be seen by the yers. "." (Fuck me.) (This ce was usually swarming with dugues, but now that yers are-) "Oh never mind, spotted a group." In front of the Phantasia, a group of 4 dugues. "HEY!" "!" Phantasia suddenly shouted, getting attention of the four monsters and making them realize that prey hade to them. After sessfully getting attention of the monsters, Phantasia summoned his own monsters, both tamed monsters and undead dugues he had stored alongside any summons he had. The wild monsters rushed at Phantasia, but then they were quickly stopped by the bear and the rabbits. After that, a hail of poison bullet came their way, hitting and poisoning the monsters and weaking them. After that, the summoned monsters and the undead monsters began attacking and stabbing the dugues from the side with their ws and des. Some of the dugues tried to fight back, but then they were hit with [Sticky Goo] and then trapped in the cloud of poison. It was a one sided beat down where dugues couldn''t even fight back since they would either get hit with poison, beaten up by beasts or get trapped by summons and undeads. The battle was straight up overkill, but it ended up finishing and killing all four monsters quiet quickly, just as Phantasia wanted. "." C Phantasia looked around, trying to see if there were any yers nearby that may see him doing something. "" (Safe.) "[Chimera Body Parts Collection] C [Collect]." The bodies of the 4 dugues began disappearing bit weirdly as if they were got absorbed by Phantasia hand. [The collection has beenpleted.] [You have obtained 4 bodies.] [Dugu] [Dugu] [Dugu] [Dugu] "!" (It worked!) () (And it seems I didn''t got item drops like the skill said. Sucks, but I guess it''s worth it.) (Anyway, let''s find some hiding spot.) Phantasia recalled all of his monsters before walking away, trying to find a spot without any people nearby as well as monsters. After some time, he found a safe spot that was bit away from the mostmon part of the forest where dugues appear. "" (No monsters. No people.) (Its time to get to the work.) "[Chimera Creation]." As soon as Phantasia activated the skill, arge system window appeared in front of him alongside multiple smaller winddowns. "." "Okay?" "This seems. Quite interesting?"n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "But how does that work?" (The middle giant window ispletely empty? Why?) (There are also.?) (Wait, this one has a list of bodies and parts I can use?) Phantasia began interacting with the winddown that contained the list and after clicking the [Dugu] body, he realized he can drag the [Dugu] object around. (. So. Oh wait.) Phantasia dragged the object name onto the main window and momentter, the dugu body appeared. "!" "Oh. Interesting?" () (I can spin it around and look at it from different angles. I can also put it back onto the list.) (!) Phantasia idently detached the arm of the monster while messing around. "." (Oh I get it) Phantasia began detaching the monster parts one by one like head, limbs, hands and feets. He then put them all back together, restoring the corpse to its previous state. "." Phantasia looked at the material list and grabbed the second [Dugu] before putting it one the main window, making it appear. He then began dismembering the second dugu before then adding its part to the first dugu, creating and abomination with four legs and four arms. "" "THIS IS FUN!" (It''s nothing like the gue!) (I have a full control and have no limit?!) "FUCK ME!" (An ability all about creativity?!) (Its simr to the alchemy and cksmithing, but this?! Its whole new thing!) (What can I make?!) (What can I do?!) (FUCK ME!) (I thought I would get skill that would just allow me to fuse two monsters together or something simr, but this is whole next level!) (I got an entire process where I can use all materials I have at hand and have ability to make things the way I want?!) (Is this even legal or fair in this game?! Fuck this! I don''t care!) (I want to experiment more!) (I want to try different things!) (I want to find out more!) (.) "I wonder how much evil I can do with this?" C said Phantasia while smiling maliciously. "This will be so much FUN!" Chapter 35 – Chimera experiment. So, after I discover how fun this new ability is as well as its poetical, I kind of spend 3 entire days messing around with it. I will probably spend more days, maybe even week with messing around. But for now, here are some stuff I found. The first thing is that the creation process for the chimeras varies, just like skill said. It may take hour or it may even take few hours or maybe even a day depending on what I''m making. The chimeras I make can possess some of the skills that its living counterpart had, its bitplicated, but let me give you simple round down. For example, w rted skills that belong to the specific monster like dugu, you need to add dugu arms or hands, bit simple right? Anyway, when creating chimeras, there is no limit how many body parts you use from different monster, however there are few things that need to be mentioned. -Is the chimera using body parts of the same species but different bodies? -Is the chimera made out of the different body parts belonging to the different species? Depending on how many bodies I use as well as what kind of bodies I use, the effect will be different. Not only that, the chimera creation will be much longer and will consume more MP and oh boy, this skill does eat MP. I can supply MP over time, but still, it''s a lot. Anyway, I went to the deeper parts of the forest where nobody was, but just in case I even wore my "Doctor" outfit. It would have been way bigger tragedy for people to see me in my normal equipment, but fortunately nobody saw me. Anyway, the chimeras I tested were like this. [Dugu Chimera 1#] [Dugu Chimera 2#] [Dugu Chimera 3#] The number 1 was an. Centipede??? Simple put Ibined each and every part of the two different dugues. I didn''t wasted any leg or anything like that. I kind of ended with the double dugus that were attached to each other by torso. The first torso had 4 legs and the upper torso had 4 arms. I also added the second head. The number two didn''t used extra torso or extra head. It had 4 legs; I also removed and reattached its original legs in different location. It also had four arms, but I made it have more shoulders but I didn''t add the second head. The number 3 was the simplest chimera. It didn''t had bonus head. But I did add the torso the same way as number 1, However, I disassembles its arm and legs into multiple parts and thenbined them, making them like very long limbs. It had 6 ws and extremely long limbs, each and every. And for the tests. The number one when crawling was quite fast, but it couldn''t turn very fast, making the dugus normal version faster in turning around. . No. To more specifically,bing two torsos like that sucks ass. Maybe if it was some sort of centipede monsters with a simr part by part body, then it may have worked. Honestly, I even think about something like a long and giant centipede made out of the human torsosbined together and stuff. I wonder how would that work? Em. Anyway, the two torso thing sucked asspletely and it only got in its way. It did made chimera faster, but only in running in straight line. As for attacks? Well, if it bend, like the part between the torsos, it can attack pretty well, however it leaves a blind spot from behind that can be easily exploited. As for the double heads, honestly it was both good and bad. The good was the chimera had better view and could spot enemy easier. Not only that, I kind of thought that each head would try to dominate the control, like for example both heads wanted to do different thing but ended up hindering each other. Maybe because it''s not two monsters but one undead monster? However, having multiple heads also have down sides. One of downsides is additional weak spot. Or other example is the shape change as well as making body slightly heavier that could influence the body bnce. There are also some other problems by having multiple heads, but also benefits. So, I don''t really know if I will use it often or not. For dugues, they have one giant eye that is good enough, even better than humans. The dugues fangs were also not bad, but not good enough either. Having two heads kind of made them get in each other way in biting, probably because of their human like necks. If they had necks from different species then maybe, but it could also not fit with their body, meaning that the n have high chance of failing and may even instead make the chimera heads more vulnerable. So pretty much, the dugues chimera sucks with 2 dugues heads and they are instead weaking it, they bring more downsides than upsides. Nexte number 2. And oh boy, this guy had many problems. The most annoying problem isck of power. The chimera didn''t had enough strength to use all of its limbs at the same time. It was walking slower and its w attacks had harder time hitting and were much slower and weaker. The four legs had multiple benefits like walking in different directions and speeding up, but because of theck of strength it was only able to do that for 1 to 2 seconds. The four legs had also different benefit as well as downsides, BUT! There is one mayor downsides. By having the legs made like this, literally losing one leg would dangerously damage monsters movement and bnce. Kind of like the table with one legs in each corer, but now having one of its legs removed, destroying the bnce. The chimera 3. This guy. Well like number two didn''t had enough strength. The limbs were too big and too heavy for it to use properly. It was able to move them, well barely to be specific. Not only that, the dugues limbs are not fit forbing with each other. Those limbs straight up became a new weak point for the chimera. The chimera 2 and 3 were total failures for two reason. The first was that the dugues body parts were not fit for the task, pretty much ruining the entire body. And the second was dugues body wasn''t meant to have that kind of body. Simply put, the way the extra body parts were put didn''t fit and not only that, the chimera didn''t had enough strength to use them. The best one was number 1, but he also had many problems. Well, I did learned something at least. Each body part can affect body in different way. For example. Let''s say I have some sort of giant snake monster as well as an orc body. I remove legs and snake head and thenbine the lower part of the snake with orc AND it should work in theory. Both the snake and orc parts. So, with that in mind, I maybe could change some smaller parts of the monster, like for examplebing the two torsos together by cutting parts from it and then forming inbined form. Maybe if I break some body parts into smaller parts between two species andbine them this way, I maybe will get a chimera with 100% ability of both monsters without much of sides downs? However, this is just theory that has yet to be proven. So, yea. I need to make a body that can work properly if I want to make even useful chimera in the first ce. I need to learn how to make a chimera that can properly walk, attack and other stuff. So, nothing like a goblin with a legs and arms of a freaking giants or vice versa. In short, I need to experiment a lot and see why some stuff works while some does not and maybe find out that maybe the reason why the chimera bodies I made didn''t worked properly or maybe because the different reason than I thought of. Its highly likely possibility, since right now I only assumed that it didn''t worked since it looked like to that it didn''t had enough strength to move its own body. Is it because of the stats? Or maybe the body structure? I need to find out. To confirm if my theory is wrong or correct, I need to experiment and I mean like a lot. It will definitely take shit tons of time learning how to make a proper chimera before I can make one that can actually fight. However, dugues corpse are not enough. I need corpse of the different monsters. I need tobine dugues corpses with different species as well as see how other corpses work with their own species corpse parts. Maybe some species can handle having an extra pair of arms or wings without any trouble, who knows? But before I continue, I need to say something. [Chimera Creation] is strong like hell. I ended up creating 3 failures in the row, but I could see the poetical of this skill more and more. This is kind of getting scary and exciting. Once I get hang of it and understand how to create a proper chimera, I may even create some really scary monsters. However, beside the research and materials that are needed to improve and help me learn the art of chimera making, I need to invest points into [Mana], [Necro Mastery] and [Taming Mastery]. Why? Well because this ss straight up requires it like a lot! And honestly speaking, this ss may be my current mainbat ss considering its poetical. But of course, before I can even use it, it will required shit tons of learning, materials and stats points. . However, isn''t this also exciting? I mean, an army of the deadly chimeras monsters going on the rampage under mymand. And if we add the gue on top of that, won''t that make a killerbo? Fuck me! I really want to go on fuking rampage and see how well they do in order to learn stuff as well as experiment using the real battle. I REALLY AND I MEAN REALLY WANT TO LET LOSE! . But I know I will get fucked again and then crushed, so yea. I will not do it. The hard cold reality had already bitch pped me once after I got greedy and over confided like a third rated viin So, I will wait even a freaking year if I have in order to prepare enough. .. However, that doesn''t mean I shouldn''t do some public experiments in between, right? I don''t think anybody would mind if I sacrifices this city in order to test out my chimeras while also collecting humanoid bodies for my experiments.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om But obviously not now... But maybe in the future? Who knows? Chapter 36 – Plant x necromancy? In order to research and practice more chimera creation, I need to get more bodies. Not only dugues, but also monsters from different species. So, yea, the next target after the dugues are the monsters I''m already familiar with, weed dragon and its evolved variants. Not only that, but I think it''s about the time I hunt down the boss monster in that area. The parent weed dragon. But obviously there are side effects. To collect the body parts, I need to sacrifice anybody rted loot and since the weed dragons aren''t carrying anything like sword and stuff means that I won''t get any loot at all. Body rted loot are stuff like parts of their body and things like they wear, like dress, hat or stuff they wield like axes or swords, they can drop. HOWEVER! The items drops from the boss monster are extremely valuable. BUT! So does the corpse if I can harvest it. . However, I will straight up waste the corpse with my current knowledge of the chimera crafting.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om So, yea, even if I did had that corpse at hand right now, I could not use it right now. I need to both experiment with the weed dragon bodies as well as understand how chimera creation really works. So, yea, a lot of work is ahead of me. First thing first, I went and hunted the weed dragon for my experiments... And honestly, I found some interesting things? Well More like a giant problem. Well. Its bitplicated and I don''t really how it works, so I will exin the best of my abilities. Simply put, what I found out was that the nt monsters kind of cannot be turned into undeads. Let me exin. First thing first, I need to exin bit about the necromancy and the necromancer ss. The necromancy is one of the mage sses that is abination of the summoner and mage. From what I know based on the NPCs information, the necromancy uses an special element that represent death and control over as well as its symbols. The symbols of the necromancy is divided into the body, like flesh, bones, soul, blood, corpse and just death. Necromancy is about manipting the death as well as manifesting some things rted to it. With necromancy you can take control over the corpse and use it to create an undead monster or you can manifest symbols of the necromancy the same way you create an fire ball, but instead create an ball of flesh or bones. So honestly speaking, the necromancy isn''t element of death but maybe more "Element of corpse"? It sound weird, but the necromancy is all about creating undead using corpse or manifesting things rted to the bodies. Anyway. The necro element can be used with necromancy to infuse a dead being with fake life A.K.A turning it into undead. Insects, birds, humans, fishes and other things that are alive can be turned into undead. nts can also be turned into undeads. However, herees the problem. I did turned the weed dragon into an undead, however as soon as I did, its body was falling apart. The undead do normally change into corpse. Well, into the dead. Rotten flesh or just get rid of it when making a skeleton. But the weed dragon body wasn''t able to handle any of that or change and straight up this popped up. [Unable to create undead.] This was The first time that kind of message popped up. The weed dragon body wasn''t able to turn into undead. There was a reaction, but instead of turning into undead, its body got damaged a lot, it suddenly withered and stuff. I tried again and again, also on the evolved version and here are some results. The necro energy isn''t very good with nts, its straight up poison to them. Its destroying their bodies, making it physically impossible to turn them into undead? I guess even if I were so somehow turned it into undead, it would just destroy itself momentster or something. My guess it''s impossible to turn nt type monsters into undeads. I don''t know if all nt monsters can''t be turned into undead or is it just weed dragon. Maybe there are nts that can be somehow turned into undeads. For example, the tree spirits being called dryad. They are a monster like creatures that are made out of the wood or nts and take on humanoid appearance, right? How would that work if I turned it into undead? Would it worked? There is also a chance that I''m straight up missing something here I''m not seeing and may end up turning out that it wasn''t because the target was a nt type monster. Still, to confirm anything again, I need materials and a lot of different kinds of materials. So far, the weed dragons are the first nt type monsters I encountered, so yea, I don''t know how long it will take me to find another nt type monster. I also tried making a chimera using nt parts. However, this n also failed. Both turning them into undead and taking them apart for body parts are both big failures. So, yea. I don''t know why it really works. Maybe turning nts into undead is impossible or something it''s just weed dragons problems. Maybe I need some sort of necromancer ss that can control nts or something? Either way, I can forget about using weed dragon bodies. Until I found out what the fuck is going on, nt monsters are off the table. But that doesn''t mean I can''t hunt them. If anything, I think I will enjoy the using the parent weed dragon materials. So, yea, even though I can''t use their bodies for necromancy, I can still use their drops for alchemy. By the way, I noticed that I could get few new sses. To be more specifically, 2 umon rarity sses. The first ss was a mage ss. [Advance Poison Mage] And the second sses is [Expert Alchemist]. I unlocked both of these sses after hitting level 100 with both my sses. This is interesting, but also annoying. The interesting because I now know a way to unlock ess to some new sses. The annoying because of their rarity. I don''t know if my ss can only usemon rarity sses, so I may have no option to use these powered up version of my sses. But I didn''t learned them. Why? Well I need to focus on my necromancer and tamer sses right now. Anyway, I went around, looking for that boss monster and honestly it didn''t took me long to find it. (Its here.) C though Phantasia while hiding behind the tree. (Damn. That is a big bastard.) (It look very simr to the weed dragon, the base form, but its way fuking bigger.) (It''s even bigger than bear.) The giaganting weed dragon that was munching on the trees was a monster know as parent weed dragon. A level 105 monster. Alongside the giant weed dragon, there were also 5 smaller weed dragons roaming around it and each one was not normal weed dragon, it was an evolved variant. (Boss monster, huh?) (Unlike the regr monsters, these fuckers are strong like hell.) (The bear boss and the rat boss I fought were both strong.) (However, this boss is level over 100th, it won''t be easy.) (The monsters above level 100 get some sort of power up or something.) (But so does the yers.) [Phantasia] [Level 103] [You have reached level 100.] [You will get extra reward for leveling up from now on: -Bonus 2 ss point. -Bonus 4 stat points. -Bonus 0.5 to all stats.] (We are around the same level, but what about the power?) (There is also the fact that guy has also some bodyguards with it just like me and not the base weed dragon form but those evolved variants.) (Honestly, they would have been a perfect test subjects to test out my new batch of chimeras.) (But if by even slightest chance somebody sees them, I''m fucked.) (.) (Well, it''s not like I''m weak.) (Or should I say, "We are not weak".) "Come out you bastards." Phantasia began summoning a small group of undead alongside his rabbits and bear monsters. The sudden appearance of the monsters instantly got attention of the boss monster that instantly spotted them, rming the other weed dragons in the process. (I''ve been putting every single of my points into [Necro Mastery] or [Taming Mastery] since I need both of these stats for my chimeras.) (I may not be able to use my chimeras, but I can as well damn use non chimeras monsters to fuck you up.) "Undeads. You are up first." "Go." Phantasia undead dugues began running towards the enemy monsters and in response, the parent weed dragon roared and two of the dandelion dragons open their mouth and spit out a barrage of the magic seed from their mouth. The seeds flew at the corpse and skeleton monsters, hitting them like bullets and blowing some holes in their bodies. However, these monsters were just sacrificial pawns and before the parent weed dragon realized, one of its servants was killed. "?!" C the parent weed dragon looked as suddenly one of its servants was killed. The boss monster was confused, but when it looked at its servant corpse it realized it had something sticking out from its forehead. It was crossbow bolt fired by Phantasia. However, it wasn''t the end. Suddenly a bolt made out of poison cloud flew at the second dandelion dragon, blowing up and covering the monster in the cloud of poison. The parent weed dragon sense danger and tried to blow away the poison, but then the 3 rabbits appeared from out of the blue and attacked it. "?!" C parent weed dragon became confused again, now not knowing how the hell these monsters got near it. The parent weed dragon tired calling its servants to its side. However, it was impossible. Phantasia bear and the undead were upying the clover dragon and the ntain dragons while the other dandelion dragon was being covered in poison. "What is this?" C asked Phantasia. "I though you would be hot shit or something since you are a boss." "But what disappointment." "This battle will not evenst long." Chapter 37 – Parent Weed Dragon. The parent weed dragon tried swiping giant rabbits monsters with its ws, but the rabbit monsters were keep jumping away, trying to gain distance. The boss monster got annoyed and suddenly opened its mouth before firing a barrage of the seeds at one of the rabbits, hitting it and making it fall on the ground injured. The weed dragon saw the opportunity and tried attacking it, but then it got suddenly blown away by an explosion of poison. "?!" The weed dragon backed away and momentster it saw the Phantasia in front of it. "Hey." "?!" The parent weed dragon looked to its left, only to spot the corpse of the other dandelion dragon. (That attack just now, it was dandelion dragon seed bullet attack.) (Does that mean that thing by any chance can use all 3 skills that each evolved variant has?) (.) (The rabbit did taken some damage, I guess its some powered up version?) (The other 2 evolution variants have skills that when activated will boost the ws damage output and the second will spawn some sort of whip vine from its back.) (But honestly speaking, only seed attack is only dangerous thing, meaning its range attack.) (These rabbits do have somewhat high vitality stat, but it still took a good junk of their HP even though it and it didn''t fully hit it.) (Getting hit by those seeds will hurt a lot.) "You three. Go and help others in dealing with those smaller bastards." The three rabbits quickly retreated as their master order and rushed to joining the other of the Phantasia monsters in fighting against evolved weed dragons. "" "Well then. 1 vs 1?" The parent weed dragon opened its mouth once again, rming Phantasia. Momentter, the weed dragon began firing the seeds, but Phantasia was ready for it and began running away, trying not to get hit while the barrage of the seed was chasing him. Before long, the dragon stopped shooting the seeds, allowing Phantasia to counter attack using [Acid de], firing a cross de made out of melting acid and hitting the monster right in the face, making it scream in pain. However, the monster was now pissed and sprouted a long vine tentacle from its back that quickly flew towards Phantasia. "?!" (Shit! I won''t be able to dodge it!) Phantasia crossed its arms and blocked the attack with his arms, but ended up being pushed back quiet afar. (Okay! Scratch that about only range attack being dangerous! The fuck was that?!) (It was nothing like that vine whip attack the other one does!) (It had way bigger range and it way faster. But the damage wasn''t as scary as I though. ) (But still, I won''t be able to dodge that attack no matter what.) "." C Phantasia looked around and saw his monster still fighting against the evolved weed dragons. (I guess I have to kill it on my own.) (But fuck me, it would be nice if I had some fire magic and set that thing on fire since its nt-) "?!" "Wait, a nt?!" "[Necro Bomb]!" Phantasia fired a sphere of necrotic energy at the weed dragon, hitting it again with a spell and creating explosion on impact. "." "!" (The hell?!) C though Phantasia after realizing that the weed dragon took the average damage taken from [Necro Bomb]. (The fuck is actually going on?!) (I though it would deal extra damage or something, but no?!) (I mean, the weed dragon that I tried to turn into undead ended up falling apart before I could even turn it into undead.) (Shit...) (Wait. Maybe it''s really like a poison and it need to be injected into the body like how I tried to turn that corpse into undead... BUT HOW THE HELL DO I DO THAT?!) (I straight up don''t have any spells that inject the enemy with the necro element!) The weed dragon opened its mouth again. "Shit." Phantasia began running again as the weed dragon began firing the seeds again. Phantasia run and quickly hit behind one of the giant trees nearby, taking cover against the barrage of the seeds. (Calm down.) (Even though it doesn''t have weakness against the necro element, it still takes damage from it, meaning that the necromancer attack skills are still useful.) (And I have also other tricks up my sleeve.) Once again, the barrage of the seeds ended and instantly after that happened, Phantasia rushed out from his hiding spot and began using [Bone Shot] non stop alongside [Poison Shot], firing bullets of bones and poison at the enemy, hitting the monster nonstop. This angered the monster once again and made it sprout long vine whip from its back. "!" "[Summon: Float]!" The vine whip flew at the Phantasia, but then instead of hitting him it ended up first hitting float he summoned, taking the hit for him, but cutting the monster in half before hitting him. "!" "" "Heh. It didn''t hurt that much." C said Phantasia after not getting pushed back one bit by the monster attack. (Float is currently my weakest creature.) (It can attack from afar, but it cannot move and its fire power isn''t anything grand or anything, if anything its weak.) (So instead using it as minion, its better to use its meat shield to take hit for me!) "[Poison st]!" Phantasia fired a pir of the liquid poison at the monster, hitting it and applying powerful poison effect to the monster. "[Bone Javelin]!" Once again Phantasia fired powerful spell, this time he fired a single javelin made out of the bones that instantly flew when it was formed and hit the giant weed dragon, piercing its hide. "[Poison Ball]! [Acid Ball]! [Poison Spray]! [Acid Strike]!" Phantasia was showing no mercy and was firing his skills left and right without the care, trying to kill the monster as fast as possible. And this simple strategy was working. The parent weed dragon HP was dropping like crazy. Not only that, but it was affected by multiple poison type effects that deals damage over time. "[gue Mania]." As soon as Phantasia active this skill, his eyes began glowing with green light and a skull made out of the smoke emerged from his back before disappearing, signaling that the skill has been activated. (Its only 3% damage increase, but it will do.) The monsterpletely lost all of its reason after realizing it was slowly dying and began running towards Phantasia, trying to murder him in act of desperation.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Nope!" "[Poison Smoke]!" Phantasia suddenly aimed at the ground and hit it with his spell that in turn ended up spreading around himself and creating a cloud of poison in his spot. "?!" - the parent weed dragon stared at the cloud of poison as it realized that it lost the sight of the Phantasia. "Hehehehe." (Man.) (I didn''t knew that all of the [Poison Mage] skills are about ying dirty when I picked this ss.) (But now I''m so d that I did, it fits me like a glove.) The monster swiped left and right with its ws, trying to find and kill Phantasia, but not evennding one hit. However, the monster arms were big and there is a limit where Phantasia can hide inside the cloud of poison and the monster was well aware of this fact that it was just matter of seconds before it finds it. However- "?!" Before weed dragon realized something flew and hit it right in the forehead. When Phantasia was hiding behind the tree as well as when he was hiding in the cloud, he was preparing his crossbow to fire again. "Bye bye." "[Necro Ball]!" Phantasia fired the ball of the necrotic energy at point ck range, not giving the weed dragon any chance of dodging or blocking the attack and making it take full force of the attack head on. "." However, the parent weed dragon was still standing and tried lifting its w. "?!" But then the multiple poison effects kicked in, finish off the monster and making it corpse fall on the ground. "." (I ALMOST SHITED MY PANTS!) (How the hell it survived all of that?! I wasn''t holding back!) (.) (Well, good thing that the poison at least finished it off for good.) (Anyway, lets just clean up and be over it all.) Phantasia helped out his monsters to deal with the remaining monsters and quickly had finished off the remaining monsters. "And done." (Dealing with the smaller ones didn''t really took long since they were already quiet wounded.) (But that doesn''t really matter.) (I managed to secure quiet good loot.) (Especially the weed dragon limbs and fangs.) (I can maybe use them to create stronger gloves.) (.) (But still, I ended up realizing something.) (I''m once again fucked because I didn''t saw too far ahead.) (Because I put all of my points into [Taming Mastery] and [Necro Mastery], my [Intelligent] stat didn''t increase.) (Well, its not really that bad.) (True.) (I fucked up since I can''t use chimeras now, but I should have tamed some new monsters and created more undeads.) (So I only fucked up because I didn''t do that.) (Well, this ce is crawling with monsters, so getting new servants won''t be the problem.) (However, they will be only temporarily ones. So, it doesn''t really matter what I tame. I will just use them as materialster on.) (Speaking of materials, I should hurry.) (More and more yers are getting here.) (Before too many appear, I need to hunt higher level monsters, level up and collect their bodies for my chimera research.) (After I make myself new equipment, then I will start hunting for real.) Chapter 38 – Chimeras experiment – Type Parts and Type Construct. Well, I did struggle a lot to beat the boss. But I did beat it alone, meaning I wasn''t exactly weak or anything. I didn''t get new titles however. Most of the titles I''m getting right now are either rted to the alchemy or cksmithing. Well, there is this title. [You have obtained title: Hunter C Tier 1] [Rank: D (Grow)] [+50 stat points.] [The more of the monsters you hunt in short amount of time, the higherbo you get. Based on thebo, this title will receive EXP and level up.] [The monsters power difference will influence this title grow.] Well, I was hunting a lot of monsters whenever I went hunting, so I''m quite surprised I didn''t got this title before. Maybe I didn''t get it because I was hunting lower level monsters? I also got this. [You have obtained title: Monster Maker C Tier 1] [Rank: C (Grow)] [+50 stat points.] [The more and powerful monsters you create, the more this title grows.] This. Took me by surprise. This title doesn''t really seems to be connected with my [Chimera] ss, so I guess there are other sses that can make monsters? Either way, it''s quite good, but I guess I did ended up taking a lot of time. I didn''t created any powerful chimeras or anything, if anything, most of my chimeras are straight up trash. So, I guess I got it only because I created a lot of it. Oh, maybe also the necromancer also counted, since I do make servants and all. But anyway, after I was done with my preparation after I hunted the boss monster, I once again starter hunting for days. Here are some of the more important monsters I hunted, since I will be using their bodies and all. [Tall Forest Bat] -A giant bat monster that flies around the forest. -Weak defense, but annoying ws and fangs. [Red Cobra] -A long and big cobra monster with annoying poison bite. -Tough body and quite fast. -Offensive power not high, but uses poison for hunting, it makes up for theck of the offensive power with the high damage over time poison. [Stone Monkey] -A weird looking monkey monsters with rocks shell around their back, arms and legs. -They are not nibble as monkeys, but they are straight up annoying with their throwing rocks. They can manifest those rocks with their own skill or something, but very limited ammunition. -Strong offense and defense, but not fast at all. These three monsters were all quiet annoying in their own right, but oh boy, their materials were extremely good for creating weapons and armors. Especially the red cobra. Its poison was extremely potent like hell. I really and I mean really want to make gue with it. But I don''t think it will be good enough. Oh, by the way, the meat of the red cobras are extremely valuable and I mean it. It was selling for shit tons of money for just a meat. Its skin was also extremely expensive. So, yea. I really could earn shit tons of money by hunting them, but they were bit rare and I needed their corpses for my research. I''m not reallyining, they are really strong monsters to the point you can call them mini bosses or some elite monsters. Their corpse will be extremely useful in the chimera creation and research. By the way, the number of the yers were increasing for days in this city. But this wasn''t the only thing. I knew that game was popr and all, but wow. It was now in the news over and over, be it on television or on the inte. Wow... I mean, I was expecting for stuff like that to happened in a way, considering how straight up out of the novel this thing is, but man, this is way bigger than I though. Not only that, it may seem like not a lot of time passed after the game was released, but it''s not true. The time inside the game is 3 times that of an outside worlds. Meaning that few months have already passed. So, yea. This game is way bigger deal than anybody had though and the world has the attention on this game right now. Honestly, I''m curious if they would make another game like this in the future or something and what it would be? Maybe some sort of gxy / cosmic rted stuff? That would be an interesting game and I wonder how they would do it? But anyway, right now let''s focus at the task at hand. I have been staddle leveling up each day and not only that, I was also collecting a lot of corpse. By the way, when I was research my alchemy and improving it, I did ended up having a lot of potions. I did consider selling them, but I decided not to. I know that I may earn some small fortune by doing that, but I need them for myself.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om Right now, I''m fully focused on hunting monsters and collecting their bodies parts for my chimera research. So having those potions in reserve will be crucial. Moving on to the next thing: Chimera research. It was going... Good in some ways and bad in some other ways. 50/50? I won''t go into all the details, but only talk about the most important stuff. First thing first, I had divided chimeras into different categories. The parts chimera. This chimera is simple construct ofbining different body parts together. It''s quite simple. For example, swap the monster legs with other monster or add some other monsters body parts together. Or just straight up put all the body parts together, forming some abomination. The second category of chimeras I made is construct chimera. This chimera type is bit. Moreplicated. Simply put, I rip apart the body parts into smaller fragments and use them to put the chimera together. It may look like it makes no sense, but it does. By cutting, ripping and tearing the parts of the body into smaller and smaller bits, it allows me to have even more room for creativity. And it''s not all. By cutting the monster in parts like that, I can more easily fuse together specific parts of the body together. For example, two torsos together or two arms together, creating 1 stronger body parts. And oh boy it worked. The dugu chimera I made using two dugues corpse was quite good at ripping apart wild dugus, it did sustained a lot of damage, but the fight was almost one sided. Well, not really one sided if I look at the injuries that the dugus chimeras I made, but it was definitely way stronger than other failure chimeras I made. However, it did took a lot of trial and errors, making a lot of trash chimeras that were easily defeated by the wild dugues, so it''s not like I didn''t did that test only once. I did it multiple times and this is the first time I see this result, even though the monster that defeated dugus was failure and not the finished product. But this one was quite good, but it''s not what I was looking for. I can see and proven that this thing can work and as well it proven some of my other theories. I can make extremely powerful chimera using this method. However, there is a catch. First thing first, those chimeras use more MP and time to make as well as the fact that designing them alone takes some time. In short, it takes time to make those chimeras, meaning that my research regarding them is bit slowed down. BUT! These chimeras are the track I was hoping for and the failure that I made was that strong? What would happened if I made a proper chimera using this method? The few next chimeras were showing better results one after another, each new one was killing the dugues way faster and sustaining less damage. It was working. This method was working, but it''s not finished, however once its finished and learn how master this method, the chimeras But as stated before, it takes time and MP to create them. The skill level did increased since I was experiencing with chimeras nonstop and I can produce more chimeras at the same time, but MP cost is still annoying. But oh well, it really doesn''t bother me to raise my [Mana] stat since I''m mage. However, [Necro Mastery] and [Taming Mastery] are different things. To fully utilize those stats, I need to make new monsters and using chimeras publicly will harm me. And besides, all of my current chimeras are weak. So, I went around and tamed some of the monsters and raise some more as undeads and stored them. These beast will beter sacrificed for my research, but for now they will work for me and make my hunting go much easier. And like that, I spend even more days hunting, leveling up and collecting bodies for my research. The research itself was progressing smoothly for past these days and the chimera type construct I have been research had showed a lot of progression. The chimera type parts was also showing a bit of progress thanks to the construct type research. But constructing is not enough. I need more "Specific" materials. And I need some battle data against more. Complicated enemies. Well, I hid for long enough and I won''t be doing anything too big. For now. So, I guess I can go bit "Out of control" to get what I want. It''s time to let "Doctor" have some fun. Chapter 39 – Chimera test – Field. Few in game months have passed ever since I got to this ce. I had archived my first goal of max out leveling up my first research ss and now it was the turn for the second ss. The second research is [Chimera]. The chimera is about collecting bodies and using those bodies to create a monster. I was making and creating chimeras non stop each day, improving my art of chimera craft. But I now need 2 things after creating somewhat strong chimeras. The first is battle data against average person. It doesn''t really need to be somebody strong or anything. Even average yer will do... BUT! That is a problem. I may know that the chimeras are good at fighting the monster, but what about the people? I need to do that and see how well those chimeras will do. Just one fight may be necessary. However, what if I end up facing yers? No. I need to face yers if I want to see my chimeras in actions against them. But obviously there will be problems. For example, they will definitely talk and post shit online, making my chimeras be known. But it''s not like I have choice. I need that battle data badly. The second thing that I''m hoping to get is some humanoid corpse. Like orcs, humans, dark elves and such. I would really and I mean, really like to get my hands on some for my experiments. (But the question is, how the hell do I go with this?) C though Phantasia while looking at the quest winddown inside the adventurer guild. (I need to pick the perfect location that will be not that dangerous to me and where I can escape easily.) (But, I also need some sort of location where the people are present.) (.) (Should I go with the forest?) (I will encounter yers and gain the battle data I need, but I would like some corpse as well and I don''t think I will be able harvest any from yers corpse.) (.) (Some random vige then?) (It will provide corpse I need, but... No battle data.) (The enemy doesn''t really need to be stronger or have same level as chimeras. Even yers or NPCs with level lower than 20 will do.) (I extremely badly need to know how well chimeras can fight against yer or NPCs.) (But where I would even find a location where there are yers and NPCs, both that I can hunt...) (.) (Wait.) (Isn''t this ce connected with the capital city?) (The two cities are quiet far away; however, they are doing business with each other nonstop and many of the merchants from the royal capital are oftening here.) (From what I seen and heard in here as well as real world is that the merchant often hire adventures for the escort or some mercenaries.) (I don''t know how high level NPC mercenaries are, but they should provide me with battle data even if they do wipe out all of my chimeras.) (Bit risky, but worth it approach, no matter if the chimeras wipe them out or they themselves get instead whipped out.) (However, there are problems.) (The first problem is that I need to observe the fight to see how chimeras are doing.) (Going without disguise will be idiotic.) (Using "Wood Mask" will be suicidal.) (.) (I guess "Doctor" will have to see it through.) (But oh boy, people won''t like this if they do see me. But better that then everything else.) (If I want make sure I won''t repeat the mistakes I did before when I made the gue, I need to be prepared enough, even if that means revealing existence of my chimeras to the public.) (The reason why I need to do is because this is no longer starting area.) (I don''t know how much average yer had grown in strength, so pretty much there is way too many unknowns in my n. I need to see at all cost how my chimeras fight in battle against other people to see their power and know if they are ready or not.) (So, I need to make some sacrifices in order to get closer to my goal...) "" (But Where do I attack?) (Causing chaos too close to this ce will straight up murder me.) (I need to choose location in between.) "" "Excuse me." C said Phantasia to the nearby guild worker. "Yes?" C replied the orc worker. "Do you know where I can buy a map?" After words, I bought the hell expensive map of the kingdom... DAMN! Thing was really expensive like hell! Not only that, but the map wasn''t really detailed or anything and only had basic informations like roads and cities. It didn''t showed any locations of the mayor forest or mountains. Fuck me! I don''t think even buying this thing was worth it! Well, I can maybe add some things on my own, but still they fuking scammed me! Still, at least I know the route that is taken between this ce and the capital city. I will be only leaving for some time and will hereter, so I just paid the guy who was keeping my stuff stored in advance before leaving the city. The distance between this ce and capital city as state before is quite big. However, finding the perfect spot is different matter. It would have been perfect if there would some sort of forest or- [Sometimeter.] "." "Okay... That will fuking do?!" Phantasia found himself in the forest that was located on the road between the two cities. "." (There are no real monsters here.) (They are straight up wild animals and they are scared of me.) (I guess this ce will do. But isn''t this ce. You know. Very bandit like?) (I mean, it straight up look like a spot for bandits to use! I won''t be surprised if I run into bandits myself in this ce.) (Or maybe I would run into their hidden base or maybe ran into them when I will be setting my own ambush while they themselves were nning to ambush somebody.) (Still, it''s better if I gear up.) Phantasia de-equipped all of his current gear and reced it will all bran new equipment. [Stone Red Cobra Boots] C [Rare] [Stone Red Cobra Pants] C [Rare] [Forest Stone Monkey Chest Armor] C [Rare] [War gue Doctor Mask] C [Rare] [Monster Forest ws] C [Rare] Phantasia was now wearing: -A red boots with sticking out ws. -A red pants. -A grey colored light chest armor. -A pair of big gauntlet ws that made his hands became too time in size. -A grey colored helmet mask that resembles that of a gue doctor and even had a top hat attached to it. (Currently, this is my strongest armor.) (I got to say, it''s quite good. But honestly, I didn''t had enough materials to make better chest armor and honestly, I made these pants using the remaining materials I had at hand.) (Most of the best materials I used went for the mask helmet and those w gloves.) (I made these gloves bitrge, but I move them just fine.) (Not only that, but both the gloves and the mask have nice effect of increasing my poison type skills performance by a little bit.) (These ws have also an ability to increase any poison coating effects performance if I have them covered in poison.) (Their attack alone is quite high.) (And just in case, I had put some points into [Agility] and [Strength] stats, not much really nice I was focusing on those 3 stats, but its fine.) (I have some poison in store.) (And I also made some new gue just in case.)n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om (Anyway, I should get ready.) "Come out." Phantasia began brining out multiple monsters he had stored. One of the chimeras that had appeared was a red cobra with many wings of the giant bats. There was also 2 chimeras stone monkeys with four arms and legs. The third chimeras was a weirdrge stone monkey that had way more beastly appearance and had veryrge hands. And the fourth one was a trio of a muscr dugues chimeras. (This chimeras are not the registered chimeras, meaning that when they will die, they will be gone for good.) (Registered chimeras take more space, so that was one of the reason why I didn''t registered them with the skill.) (Still, it doesn''t matter if I did or did not registered them, since they are expendable.) (They only exist to die for my experiments.) "Now. Let''s see who will be my test subjects?" Chapter 40 – Chimera test – Field – Part 2. After making sure that there were no bandits around, I set up my ambush and just waited. .. And waited. .. And waited... . (You know, I kind of thought there would be somebody by now or something, considering how many merchants and yers use this ce for their travels and all...) (.) (Em... I can''t even do stuff in meantime or anything like that.) (.) (Fuck me. Do I have to wait like that for hours or-?!) Phantasia suddenly shut himself up after hearing something from the distance. He quickly hid behind arge tree and observed the road as a caravan that was being dragged by a horse wasing his way. "." (It doesn''t appear to be a merchant caravan... I see people on the back...Trasport caravan?) (Shit.) (Those are definitely yers.) (This was. Straight up worse timing from get go.) (I wanted to have a merchant first or something to secure some corpse... Should I let these guys go by?) (.) (Hm...) (I want the humanoid corpses... But letting them go like that would be a waste since I need battle data before human corpses.) (But I can''t make too big of a mess or too many attacks..) (.) (Fuck it.) (They are too good of the test targets for my chimeras to test out their strength.) (Usually, the people who leave the capital and head here are usually between level 85 C 100.} (I don''t know if those chimeras will kill them or not, but that doesn''t really matter.) (All I want to see if they can handle them or now.) (I really wanted the corpse, but I guess I need to give up for the more important things.) (Beside.) (I will get humanoid corpse sooner orter.) "You all." "Get out and attack them." "Make sure that nobody is left alive and fight either they or you die." C said Phantasia to his chimeras that were on standby. The caravan continues traveling on the road. The ride was very peaceful. Well, it "Was". Suddenly, out of nowhere a snake came flying and bit the horse neck before even the caravan owner realized. The horse began shaking and rampaging, trying to get rid of the snake while the caravan owner tried to calm the horse and do something about the snake. However, it was all in vain as the horse ended up breaking the straps, detaching itself from the caravan before running off. Bu the horse didn''t really run far off because when it tried to, there were two dugues chimeras waiting that quickly captured the horse and killed it by ripping and cutting it to pieces. The caravan owner stared as the 3 unknown monsters had just finished killing his horse. "Hey! What the hell is going on?!" C said the man that was riding the caravan. A group of 5 yers that were riding the caravan werepletely startler as caravan horse started acting crazy, shaking the entire caravan. When the yers looked what the hell was going on, they saw 3 monsters killing the caravan owner horse that just ran away. "?!" "The fuck is this?!" C said the orc yer. "Hey! What are these things?!" C said orc yer to the caravan owner. "I-I don''t know!" C said the scared dark elf NPC. "I never saw anything like this before and this ce shouldn''t have any monsters like this?!" C said the extremely confused and scared caravan owner. "Em. People?" C said the female dark elf yer. "There are behind us as well!" "!" C the yers turned around quickly and saw the a third weirdly muscr dugues alongside the pair of four armed and four legged stone monkeys chimeras. "." "Okay. What the fuck?!" C said the human yer. "Is this some sort of random event?" "How the hell is this random event?" C said the female orc yer with a bow while getting off the caravan. "This route is supposed to be 100% safe." "I would get bandits or something, but those are definitely not bandits!" "If something like that would happened before, would people find out about this easily?!" "." "You are right." C said the human yer while getting off the caravan alongside other yers. "Mister, please stay behind us." C said the human yer while trying to cover the caravan owner. "We need to- " Before the yer could finish speaking, he got suddenly hit with a big rock right in the head from the right. Before anybody realized, the human yer was on the ground. "?!" C the female and male orc yers saw their leader hitting the ground and tried doing something, but- "Ahght?!" Before anybody realized, the caravan owner was attacked from behind with rocks. The parts chimeras that were made stone monkeys bodies were throwing stones with their four arms. The orc yer quickly stepped in and used his great shield to block the stones. "Hey! What are you doing! Heal them for crying out loud!" C shouted the orc yer to the goblin yer. "Y-yes!" C replied male goblin priest yer who began healing the leader was trying to get up as well as the injured caravan owner. However, it wasn''t the end. The monsters from behind and from front began charging at them, making an all-out battle start. While all of that was happening, Phantasia was observing the entire chaos unfold from the safe spot where he could see everything without any problems. "." (So far, they are holding out well.) (The pieces stone monkey chimera didnded a solid attack on their maybe leader, but he didn''t died.) (However, he seem to have suffered a lot of damage.) (Well, he did got hit with big rock right in the head that had a lot of power and all. Honestly, I''m more surprise that he somehow survived that.) (But anyway, these guys are doing quiet fine right now.) (They realized that there is enemy in the forest and that enemy is the piece stone monkey chimera.) (He will hit them hard unless they deal with them.) (On the back there is duo of the parts stone monkeys chimeras who throw weaker rocks, but they throw it more often than regr stone monkey.) (And, there are also these guys.) After the party leader was healed by the goblin priest, he instantly took his sword and joined the fight, but as soon as he tried to, he was forced to block when an giant w came at him. "?!" In front of the party leader was a dugues chimera. However, this chimera was visible different in many wayspare to the other chimeras that Phantasia made using dugues corpse. The monster entire body was bigger and thicker. Inside its body, its bones werebined with the another dugues and their flesh was stitched together, giving is muscr and thicker appearance.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om The monster had same number of fingers as before, but now it had two ws sticking out from single finger. (This one. Is one of more interesting chimeras I made.) (It did lose its nimble body.) (But oh boy.) (He can hit hard.) "?!" C the swordman tried pushing away the monster w, but realized he wasn''t able to. He quicky pulled his sword back, making the monster attack hit the ground with a lot of force. The swordman then enchanted his sword with an [Sword Strike] and attacked chimera,nding a solid hit and dealing damage to it. However, it wasn''t enough to kill it. "?!" C the man realized the monster was still alive. The monster swinged its other hand, shing the man across the chest with ws, dealing massive damage to already wounded. The man once again ended up on the ground, but this time he was straight up at the death door and another hit like that would definitely kill him. The chimera was about to finish the man off, but the female orc archer fired her arrows, hitting the chimera and stopping it. "Hey! A little hand here?!" C shouted the female orc archer that was firing arrows nonstop. "I''m straight up busy if you can''t fuking see!" C replied the male orc yer while getting attacked by the chimera dugues while trying to protect the caravan driver from the stone monkeys. "Shit! What are the- " Before the archer could finish speaking, she saw the red cobra chimera jumping from the ground and using its wings to boost itself, flying towards the archer. The archer couldn''t dodge and as was the chimera about to bite her, the female dark elf yer rushed in and shed the chimera with spear that was enchanted with the skill [Power Spear], pushing away the chimera as saving the archer. "T-thanks!" C said the scared orc archer. "No problem, but C SHIT!" The third dugues chimera attacks, forcing the female dark elf to counter attack and engage in battle against the chimera. Each and every party members of the group was currently trying everything they can to survive. Both sides were taking damage, but none of the yers nor the chimeras had died yet. The battle was fierce. However, while all of that chaos was happening, Phantasia has yet to lift the finger or even do anything personally. He just observed everything and that is all. However, it was more than enough for him. "." (GOOD!) C though Phantasia while smiling maliciously behind his mask. (These people aren''t some noobs!) (They are pretty well bnced party that possess each good member!) (Fuck it!) (It was worth it attacking them!) (Fight them!) (Kill these chimeras!) (Show me everything you have!) (I know that you guys are at least "Good" yers.) (I saw some other yers hunting and I can tell that these guys are noticeable better than the guys in the danger forest.) (For crying out loud!) (I somehow managed to get the perfect test subjects!) (These guys are maybe around 100 or maybe bit below since they left the capital city, but still they were pretty good!) (They probably have some titles as well to back up their power.) (No. They definitely have some if not some C ranks titles as well or multiple D ranks.) (However, the interesting bit is that have yet to be discovered!) (I know that I may have still chance of getting seen and all, but I don''t fuking care!) (These bastards are giving me a lot of information that I desperately need!) (This is really getting interesting!) (A perfect test subjects showed up.) (I doesn''t really matters if they win or lose, since in the end "I" will win!) (So, dance for me my dear test subjects and show me what you got!) Chapter 41 - Chimera test – Field – Part 3. The party members who were getting by chimeras tried their hardest to repel the chimeras while Phantasia was writing stuff in his notebook. (Hm. The bat wings was obviously the worse choice that I could give the red cobra.) (It cannot fly properly and have bit harder time slithering away.) (The only good thing is a jump that makes it leap towards the enemy, but it cannot change directions and can easily be dodged.) (I will have to give up on this.) (The duo stone monkeys chimeras are also no good.) (They can rapidly fire, but with not a lot of aim. The yers can easily deal with them and oh... One of them just got killed by the dark elf. Meh.) (Maybe if there was bit more, I could get them to fire an volleys?) (I will put this one on maybe this.) (But the other stone monkey chimera is doing well better.) (The yers found it in the forest, but have yet to kill it because how dangerous this thing.) (It''s slow, but it can hit and can also take the hit.) (That female archer is getting angry because of this fact and she even-) Suddenly the monkey chimera throwed the rock at the archer and when archer tried to dodge it this time, but this time she wasn''t able to get out of the way since she ended up bumping into the tree. The rock flew at the girl, hitting right in the chest and making her cough out in pain before getting on her knees. (Oh. Unlucky. She was to focus on the monkey to notice the tree next to her.) The monkey rushed at the orc archer and began beating her up. (Yea. She will get killed.) (What about the others.) The human party leader was facing against the dugus while the orc tank was focusing on keeping the two dugues at bay with his shield while the spear. (The party leader is injured from head to toe, but the healer is trying to keep him alive, however the tank is also in danger.) (The spear user is focusing on dealing with the cobra and the remaining four arm monkey.) (But they seem to forget one important thing.) (The healer needs also drink potions to restore his MP, but since he was forced to heal nonstop, he didn''t had any real-) The party leader was stabbed with the ws. "?!" "Fucker!" "[Sword Bash]!" The party leader hit the chimera, pushing it back. "Hey! Heal me!" C said the party leader who was somehow yet again still alive. "Y-yes!" "." "What are you waiting for?!" C asked panicking party leader. "I-I''m out of mana." C said the goblin. "?!" "You what?!" The chimera got behind the leader and shed it. This time the leader wasn''t so luck and ended up straight up dying. The goblin yer that just took out the potion had realized, he was fucked. Caravan owner realized that the situation went from bad to worse began screaming before running away. "!" "Hey! Wait!" C said the goblin priest while trying to stop the merchant. "!" C Phantasia noticed the merchant running away. (It''s better if I... Oh.) C Phantasia tried taking out his crossbow, but then he realized that there was no need to. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" C the merchant who ran off screamed in the distance. "?!" C the goblin looked in horror, wondering what happened. Momentster, the chimera stone monkey walked out while dragging the dead corpse of the merchant that his chest crushed before dropping the corpse on the ground. The goblin put two and two together and realize that the monkey had killed the female orc archer. But he had other things to worry about, for example the dugus chimera that was about to kill him. (Yeb. He is fucked.) (He is out of mana and the others are too busy to with their enemies.) (However, it did gave me somewhat grasp of their abilities.) (The chimeras level here have levels between 95 to 105.) (These yers have either high enough level to face off against these chimeras OR they have some titles that can back them up.) (They have dealt with the snake and the monkeys easily. Wait snake and monkeys?) The dark elf spearman quickly rushed towards the goblin priest and smacked the dugu chimera, pushing it away and saving the goblin priest in thest moment. "." (Huh Wasn''t expecting that.) (Still, she looks tired.) (But the chimeras are badly damaged and are close to dying themselves as well.)n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om (They still have a good chance at winning.) (The chimera that was fighting their leader can be easily killed by anybody now and the chimera that the archer had fought is also somehow almost dead. I guess she didn''t gave up in the end.) (At this rate, the healer will recover and provide support again and that in turn will allow the spear woman to kill both of the chimeras before joining up with the orc and killing the remaining chimeras.) (I thought that they would lose, but color me surprise, they will win at this rate.) "..." C Phantasia took out his crossbow silently and aimed at the priest. "." (No.) C though Phantasia while stopping aiming at the priest. (Shooting them with crossbow and killing the priest will only reveal myself to them that somebody is controlling these monsters.) (But still, lets observe the fight until the end.) As the Phantasia predicted, the dark elf spear user was able to hold of the chimera long enough for the priest to drink potions and provide assistance again. The first two chimeras had been dealt with and afterworlds they quickly came and assisted the orc yer, killing the other two chimeras. In the end, thest chimera was killed and no new victims had popped up. "." (Good.) Phantasia walked away while making sure that nobody had saw him. (Chimeras did lost and I lost every single one of them, but that doesn''t matter.) (I now know some important things.) First are the test subjects. They are definitely above average yer level in terms of skills and they either have high level or possess many different titles like me. I could tell based on how they fought my chimeras. The reason why I was able to tell was because I was observing the people that were hunting in the danger forest. The difference in fighting way different and even idiot could tell that these guys were better. But, because how good they were, I ended up securing more data than I should and also saw a lot of good and bad sides of my chimeras. These guys were too good for their own good. I''ve won in the end. True. I lost all of the chimeras, but their sacrifice wasn''t in vain. I collected more than enough data. These people will talk, but thanks to them being too strong, I won''t need to attack another group of people. So, it will make their story bit harder to believe in. However now? Well... I have the thing I need. With this data I can finally progress with my chimera research exactly where I wanted it to go. There are also other things I need to take care of regarding the chimeras, like how to change different things regarding the pieces and parts chimeras design and some changes. . Its progressing. . At this rate I will be able the chimeras I want... . SHOULD I BURN THAT CITY TO THE GROUND? . Nah. I''m getting too greedy and overconfident again. This ce isn''t some random city, but a heavily defended city where they hunt a lot of extremely dangers monsters. There is also the fact that this city has a direction connection with the capital city AND the fact that this ce isn''t starting location. I''m not saying that all yers in the city are some pros like these guys I just used as test subjects. But the yers here are much higher level AND they should have some now experience inbat, making them noticeable harder to kill. If anything, this ce is a worse possible location to do anything like that... . However, there is still a chance. If somebody forgotten, I have a nasty weapon called [gue Creation]. I don''t have a good gue at hand, but maybe? This is just a huge "MAYBE". But this time, I will make sure that the preparation are perfect and won''t do it from get go. I need chimeras and gues. The previous gue I created was pathetic and I don''t know if I can even possibly create something strong with the stuff from danger forest. There are also chimeras. I need a lot of stuff and corpse as well as the fact that I need to level up to increase my [Taming Mastery] and [Necromancy Mastery]. But this ce will definitely "No go", since I will 100% fail. It''s too heavily defended. Well, I''m saying that with my current knowledge. So, there is an "Maybe". Maybe I will discover new monsters that can be used for creating dangerous chimeras? Maybe I will get my hands on the nasty stuff that can be used for creation of a nasty gue? MAYBE I CAN DESTORY THIS PLACE. So again, I will wait. I will wait until the necessary things are ready and see if they are enough. I will make sure to not make same stupid mistake as before. But... What I''m doing is really not waiting but instead preparing. Levels, materials, bodies. Once I have all of these things, the preparation can start. I don''t fuking care anymore if I discover something about that would help me destroy "This" city. If I won''t discover anything, I will just use a different ce for my "Experiment". So, in the end- "I will fuking let them know that the "Doctor" is alive and kicking." "And he has a lot of nasty surprise for everybody that can ruin their lifes." (So have until then, because when I will show up, you will realize that not everything will go the way you want and you may end up facing "Bad Ending") (So, get ready or not, I wille!) Chapter 42 – The next target. Thanks to these yers fighting my chimeras and thanks to the fact that they were pretty good allowed me to gather enough data for my chimera research. However herees the question. [Can I destroy this ce?] The answer is 100% "No" for many good reasons. One of the best reasons is because his ce is too heavily defended. I tried to take a look around, trying to find some weak spots, but instead I found that this ce to have more defenses than I originally though. Leveling up alone and getting corpse would not do. I would need titles to do it. I did got some titles, but they are not enough. I need some more titles and I do know that doing something with specific value will give me title or two. The best example of getting titles was when I went crazy on the starting location. [At the public workshop.] (Going on rampage is one thing, but this time I would need way better result in order to secure better titles.) C though Phantasia while making a crossbow bolt. (Half ass destruction won''t do.) (I need a proper chaos and destruction.) (I have leveled up a lot and even managed to secure good amount of corpse, but it''s not enough!) (I need more stat points so I can control even more chimeras.) (...) (Should I target Min again as well as Wild? The starting locations?) (.) (Nope.) (The distance is too big.) (I can store some chimeras in my skill, but there is a LIMIT.) (The chimeras would have to travel on foot and they will be seen.) C though Phantasia while forging small des. (.) (Hm. Yea this de size will do.) C though Phantasia while inspecting the de he made. (Anyway, the chimeras would get instantly spotted and I would get fucked.) (As for the alchemy research?) (Well, the skill did leveled up as well as the fact that I did managed to secure some good stuff, meaning I can create stronger gue, but it will be only able to hinder them.) (The hinder and not kill is easily exnatory.) (They have better potions and higher level healers, meaning that the gue won''t be as problematic.) (This part I did not foresaw when I first came up with idea of creating gue.) (IT WAS QUITE OBVIOUS.) (But my stupid ass was too over confided.) C though Phantasia while putting some parts together, creating a small dagger. (However, the gues can be still used to annoy the enemies, so it''s not like I "Can''t" use them. They can still be used as weapons.) Phantasia leaned back on the chair while holding the dagger he just made and observing it. (So, what I should do?) (What ce I could possibly...Wait.) Phantasia took out his map from his inventory and began looking at it. "." (Huh. Wow. I''m idiot.) (Why should I attack things like cities or towns?) (When I can just target some smaller settlements instead? LIKE VILLAGES?!) (Yea. It will work!) (I will cause a chain reaction where more chimeras would be born from the bodies of the victims!) (And if something does goes wrong, I can just make some. "Nasty" trap to deal with them while I escape.) (If I do get enough titles from it as well as corpse, I can create a horde of chimeras.) (If everything goes well, I will created a wave of chimeras.) (.) (The question is, will I really get the titles I seek?) (A lot of time passed after I fought those yers using my chimeras.) (The new chimeras, the improved ones are way more deadly.) (.)n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Phantasia took out and ingot and headed towards the furnace and the anvil again before picking up the hammer. (However, there are several problems that I just noticed.) (For example: What if the vigers escape when I will start the massacre?) (There is good chance that they will escape and spread news and I will be discovered too early.) "Tch." C said Phantasia while hammering the steel. (Working alone is more problematic than I though.) "." (Should I infect the vige first in order to weaken them?) "." (No. They will leave the vige in order to seek out help.)

There is a way.) (There are "Those" monsters.) (I honestly didn''t wanted to use them since their main strength lies in numbers. BUT! They are fast.) (So, they should work as my hunting dogs!) (I didn''t finished researching their chimeras variant, but I guess I can focus on it right now.) (Let''s get the preparation underway.) I began hunting specific type of monster for some time, collecting its body parts and creating a chimera. It took some time, but the necessary preparations were done. The chimeras were created and the necessary body parts forter on had been secured. Now, what location I should attack? I had several locations in mind, but this vige will be my target. It''s a vige on south. Why I''m choosing that ce? Well, three reasons. First is that ce is quiet far away from this ce or any other city type settlements AND the second is because there are also other viges nearby. There is also the third reason, but I won''t reveal it just yet. Anyway, after doing enough preparation, I just left. Well, not on foot obviously. It did took a lot of money, but I had saved up some so I used it to buy myself a horse. It was a decent horse and all. I didn''t rented it, I bought it, so yea. A lot of money was used. Well, I tamed him and named him. Maria. I honestly wondering about turning her into chimera. Since horse and all I was wondering about making something like centaur, but I need a non-chimera means of transport if I don''t want to expose myself like idiot. Anyway, I took my horse and the necessary supplies, I instantly left the city and hit the road. The travel alone was. Boring to say the least. Honestly, I would like to get attacked by bandits, since I would be able to just take their corpse. However, if I do came across anybody on the road and there is nobody in sight, I will have to kill them. For example, the merchant that goes between the vige to buy stuff and sell it at the city, he will be problematic if hees to the vige only to discover that it had been destroyed. I want the information about me and the "Problems" being as much dyed as possible. But I really didn''t encounter anybody like that. I wanted to ;( So, yea. At least I managed to get vige safely. "Hm?" "Em Excuse me?" C said the old dark elfdy while approaching the Phantasia who just got off his horse. "Yes?" C said Phantasia while turning around while wearing his "Doctor" outfit. "Em... You are not. A merchant. Right?" C asked the bit worried viger. "Ah. No. I''m bounty hunter." C said Phantasia. "?" "Bounty hunter?" C asked the confused viger. "Yea." "I''m looking for a man about my height, but is an orc and has tworge scars across both sides of his face, they are really standing out. Did you seen anything like that with this description or maybe an orc somewhat covering its face that wasn''t a local?" C said Phantasia while showing the hand drawn bounty poster. (This criminal is real. I took this wanted poster from the adventurer guild.) (Its apparently some bandit who was originally a soldier but went rouge after killing some nobles for their riches.) (Well, I don''t care about him, but I will use him for my own advantage.) "Em... No. I''m not sure." C said the worried viger while looking at the bounty. "I see. Well, do you perhaps know something like a viger chief or something? This criminal is really dangerous and may have went here and scouted the vige beforehand." "It''s really important and there is a chance that he may be hiding nearby outside the vige." "Please. This is important." "." "Hm... Okay." C said the nervous elderlydy. "This is quite important to our vige safety, so I will bring you to the vige chief right now." "Thank you." C said Phantasia before fallowing behind the elderlydy. Phantasia fallowed the elderlydy through the vige before then arriving at the old house. The woman approached the door and knocked at it three times. "I''ming. I''ming." C said the voice from inside the building. Momentster, the door was opened at the adult male dark elf with a beer walked out. "What is Maria?" (Wait. Her name is Maria? Like my horse? Huh.) C though confused Phantasia. "This man said that he is a bounty hunter and he said he needs to talk with you regarding some criminal that may have visited our vige." C said the elderlydy while pointing at the Phantasia. "Yes." C said Phantasia while handing the bounty to the viger chief. "This criminal was seen heading towards the south and he may havee to this vige by a chance and if he did, he may be targeting the vige for his next attack." "I will need you to cooperate with me in order to find out if the vige is in danger or not." "." The viger stared silently at the bounty and at the Phantasia before then grabbing his head, showing that he was visible worried. "." "Okay." C said the viger chief. "Pleasee in." C said the viger chief before entering back to his house. "Thank you." C said Phantasia. The two man entered the house while the elderlydy walked away. After entering the house, Phantasia politely closed the door before walking behind the viger chief who was leading Phantasia towards the kitchen. "So, can we- " As the man was about to enter the kitchen, he turned around and as soon as he did, he got suddenly stabbed with Phantasia ws. "?!" C the man stared confused and shocked, not knowing what the hell just happened while looking down at his chest that was just stabbed. "Sorry, but I would like you out of the picture." C said Phantasia while lifting his second w into the air. Thest thing the man saw was a wing directly at his face before then dropping dead on the floor. "." "Now then. I guess I can let lose now." Chapter 43 – The evil is slowly starting. The olddy stared at the vige chief house worried. "Hm? Is something wrong Maria?" C asked passing by viger.N?v(el)B\\jnn ". Well. There is apparently problem and we may- " Before the woman could even speak, the windows and the doors of the viger chief house ended up beingpletely broken when a weird wolf type monsters began came out of the house. "?!" C the elderlydy and the viger stared at the viger house in confusion and shock. Weird wolf like monsters with two head quickly pounded at the elderlydy and pined her against the ground before starting to eat her alive. The scared male viger got extremely scared and tried to run away, but then suddenly a crossbow bolt flew and hit the man in the head, killing him instantly. Moments, the other wolf type monsters began attacking anybody in sight and quickly killing them. It didn''t took long for the panic to spread among the vigers. Some of the vigers instantly tried to run away, but then a projectile made out of the smoke came directly at them, hit one of them and then instantly spread around a poison cloud. Some other vigers tried to run away, but then the wolf chimeras ignored the vigers that were on the ground and instead chased the vigers that were trying to run away, catching up with them with their speed and quickly immobilize them in instance before then attacking another viger and another. One of the vigers who was an orc tried to fight back, but then he was hit with an acid magic right in the face before dropping dead. Anybody who tried to run was hunted down by the monster and dealt so much damage to the point they had no ability to run or just died on the spot. Those who did managed to get far away ended up being with magic projectile and crossbow bolt, getting killed on the spot. However, while all of that was happening, a young male dark elf was hiding behind the houses and was somehow not spotted. (Shit!) (I only took a piss break for a moment and now there is some sort of mad man killing us?!) (Fuck this!) The man began walking away slowly while trying not to get spotted. (I rather-) (.) The man suddenly stopped as he heard growling right behind him. "." "Shit." As soon as the man looked behind him, he saw the chimera charging at him before momentster killing him while he was begging for mercy. The vige was quickly turned into a living hell and anybody who even somehow managed to leave the vige was hunted down by the chimera wolves. Viger tried everything in order to survive, but it didn''t worked and after some time passed, all of the vigers were killed. "Good. It went way better that I expected." C said Phantasia while walking around the ruins of the vige. (Horned wolf. Level 140 monster.) (It''s a wolf monster with a horn sticking out from its forehead like some sort of unicorn.) (In terms of strength, it''s not really strong monster, but it''s also not a weakling. You can say it''s in middle.) (It''s pretty decent monster. It gives both good amount of EXP and pretty good loots.) (However, the reason why I made chimeras using these monsters was for their speed.) (They are quite fast and that is the only reason why I made chimeras using their bodies.) (I thought about giving it more legs, but that failed, so I instead just made a simple part type chimera with two heads and bit remade some of its body parts.) (The second chimera being pieces was somewhat made much stronger.) (The second one. Well, it is extremely strong AND its fast, but what the hell I created?! I mean, its mouth split into 3 part unlike the regr with upper and lower jaws. It is effective and deadly, but still it is bit creepy.) (On top of that, for some reason it look like it''s on steroids.) (Well, it works and its good, one of my better works if I may say. I tried going with version that uses 3 horn wolves bodies, but that just didn''t worked out.) (But still, this one is quiet deadly bastard.) (I didn''t made a lot of them and only made 1 and the rest of them are just the two headed ones since I needed numbers. The reason why I only made 1 piece chimera was just in case somebody stronger showed up, but I guess was no need.) (Honestly, it wouldn''t had worked at all if I didn''t invested all of my points into [Taming Mastery] and [Necromancy Mastery].) "But it was all worth it in the end." [You havepletely destroyed a vige type settlement by yourself.] [You have obtained title: Vige Destroyer C Tier 1] C [C] [+50 stat points.] [You are first yer to ever destroy vige type settlement.] [You have obtained title: Vige Remover] C [C] [+80 stat points.] [You have obtained title: Settlement Destroyer C Tier 1] C [C] [+10 ss point.] [You are the first ever yer to have destroyed a civilized settlement.] [You have obtained title: Settlement Wrecker] C [C] [+10 ss point.] (4 titles.

Oh well, I still got over 130 stat points.) (Let''s just put them into the [Taming Mastery] and [Necromancy Mastery] ... Done.) "." "Now what do I do?" (The next target would be the closest vige to this one, just as I nned before. But what should I do with those corpse?) (.) (I really want to take them and use them for my chimera creation... But I don''t think I will get the mobility from their bodies.) (Maybe I can somewhat fuse it with a wolf bodies I have in store and create some pseudo werewolf? But I don''t know how to do that yet since I never used orcs, dark elves, goblin or humans bodies.) (.) (Fuck it.) (I''m giving up on their corpse.) (I need more agile and fast moving chimeras.) (However, should I go with this tacit again?) (It did worked way better than I though.) (I honestly though I would need to get on my horse and chase them around, but the chimeras were more than enough to hunt them down.) (However, I need more chimeras for my "End n" and obviously I won''t be able to store them.) (I can make chimeras wonder around in the distance, but what if there is no good hiding spots or anything that would cover the chimeras? The stupid map is only showing some more important forests and that it. It don''t show any smaller forests or anything simr.) (.) (Two options.) (Focus on creating chimeras OR try and be sneaky.) (There is a limit of monsters corpse I can carry around...) (.) (I need to use the vigers corpse. But should I do it now? Or in next vige.) "." (Tch.) (Fuck it. I will produce chimeras here.) (I will charge at the vige with my fast moving chimeras while ridding the horse.) (I will give up registering chimeras and make them all expendable, meaning that when they die, they just die for real.) (Chimera creation takes time and there is a limit of how many corpse I can carry around. So even if ignore all other location corpse and just stop before thest one, I may not have enough.) (I need to use everything I have at hand to seed at my "End goal" thing of my n.) and if I want to have enough for small army, I need to produce chimeras nonstop... Yea, it will take some time, but I have something that can kill my.) (Specifically. New "Toys".) To seed in my n, I decided on giving up on attacking my next target and instead focus on raising my own forces while using the remains of the vige as my own home base. What I need right now is a time, but I don''t have to worry. I have made necessary preparations. Items, potions, money. I had it all prepared. I had money both in real and in game. Oh, I probably didn''t mentioned it, but you can earn real life money in this game. In this game, you can sell your money or exchange it for the real money and vice versa. The process is bitplicated, but also simple in a way. Anyway, people can buy in game money and sell it, simple, right? However, the real thing that has value are gold coins. Anyway, I need to talk about some important stuff. For example, howbat yers earn money. They hunt monsters and sell their materials or their loot. Simple. The production ss user can make stuff and sell it. Also, very simple. However, there are few things that need to be pointed out. The first is that thebat yers need to hunt a lot of monsters and/or strong ones to get some real profit and you can guess that it''s not as easy as it may sound to some people. As for the production sses, they need materials to even make anything. They can hunt stuff themselves, but obviously it will be much harder for them. So, it''s just way better for them to buy stuff from thebat yers or NPCs. Production sses need materials and thebat sses need better gear. Pretty much they can use each other to earn money. Better equipment means better loot and materials. Better loots and materials means better equipment made. Both get something from it while also getting richer. So, its honestly up to the yer if they want to earn money from this game and they can pretty much chose the way they do it. Anyway, there is another important thing that need to be discusses and it''s something called [Auction House]. Auction house is something you can use to buy items AND you can also use auction house in real life viaputer or app. Seems good, right? Well, the markets are still better. There are many good reasons why markets are better like shops or just simple stalls. For example, you won''t have topete with "That many" people and you can often find the stuff you are looking for in your current location as well as many other good reasons. However, that doesn''t mean that [Auction House] isn''t used. I did myself used the auction house to post the stuff I was selling. I know that selling them at market by just opening my stall would be better option, but I didn''t had time to do it anyway since I was and am right now quite busy. So, I have some ie from the game, but I also have some saved up from my real life. I won''t reveal much about my real life job, but it was a good job. I did eared a lot money from it and had stored good amount of money from it, but well... My idiot boss ended up closing it because of his stupid gambling habit. I did got a money from him in the end, he wasn''t really that bad of a person so there was no problems there, but I didn''t go any new job. Honestly speaking, I never bother living luxuries life and enjoyed some cheap food. So, yea, life is simple but peaceful. So, I have a lot of money stored justying around in case of emergency or if I have to pay my rent. So, with all that, I''m pretty rich right now. Not like "Big" rich, but decent rich. But just in case I did sold some of the stuff I was making in order to raise up my production sses levels, so I''m getting some cash from the game, nothing big, but also not small, it''s okay amount for now. Besides being good with my money, I had also stacked up with potions, especially MP potions since I needed them for chimera creation process. I had also my current equipment from before when I went for the "Test" before. There was no reason to rece my current gear since it''s quite good. So, yea. I don''t need to worry about any of this and can fully focus my attention on the chimera creation. I will try on using all of the parts I had stored for my chimera creations and try to do some small research about the humanoid species bodies for the chimeras. In short, I need to just finish my preparation here and there will be no more "Preparation time" but only action. FUKING FINALY! I waited long enough! The storm is approaching and I''m a motherfucker that will caused it. Chapter 44 – Phantasia real aim. "Shit! Mercy! I won''t tell anybody about- " Before the man could finish speaking, he was shot right in the forehead with a crossbow bolt before dropping dead. (Shit.) (If I didn''t cleaned up somewhat, that guy would have escaped before I noticed and would have rmed others.) C though Phantasia. (I should have expected for the things like merchant to visit this ce or something.) (Still, I kept my guard just in case.) (.) (But some people will realize that something is off if he went missing, like his client or a boss.) "It doesn''t matter." "The preparation have beenpleted." Behind Phantasia, there was huge group of chimera monsters that were ready forbat. "." "This merchant body looks no good, but his horse corpse will be an interesting." C said Phantasia before collecting the horse corpse. After collecting the horse corpse, Phantasia summoned his own horse and quickly got on it. "Well then." "Everybody! Fallow me!" The time was up. The necessary chimeras have been created. However, ording to that merchant I killed recently, he said that the neighboring vige who they are good friends with ended up worrying about this vige since they haven''t heard anything from them for some time. Well, it really doesn''t bother me. Why? Well because their vige was my second target in the first ce! I and the fast moving chimeras went ahead and ran towards the second vige. This time I had way more chimeras. I obviously can''t store that many chimeras, so they are outside all. Bit risky approach, but I don''t need to worry since yers don''t take this route. Well, there is one thing I need to worry though. The first attack started long time ago and people are realizing that something must have happened. I finished the preparation in time and I need to attack before a proper investigation is send. The first one to notice was the neighboring vige, but its not the problem since they were my second target anyway. Me and chimera quickly made our way towards the second vige. They did saw using from afar, but it was toote. The fast moving chimeras and me on my horse got to them before they could even try to escape, making the raid start almost instantly. I did heard from the vigers that this vige is small, but it was way smaller than I though. Dealing with that entire vige and killing everybody there didn''t honestly took long. The second vige has been destroyed as nned. [Title: NPC killer tier 4 has reached tier 6] C [E] -> [D] [+10 stat points] C [Killed 100 NPCs] [+25 stat points] C [Killed 150 NPCs] [Title: Evil C Tier 4 has reached tier 5] [+ 2 ss points] The second vige has been destroyed sessfully without letting anybody escape. I didn''t get any new titles; however, 2 growth type titles did ranked up. Fuck me. The title [Destroyer Vige] and [Settlement Destroyer] didn''t ranked up. I can kind of guess why. Both of the viges were quite small, too small, they were very small. The second one was especially small. So, I can kind of understand why I didn''t managed to rank up those titles. I may or may not get them after destroying the third vige. I honestly wouldn''t be surprised if I didn''t got it at this point. There is a [NPC Murder] didn''t ranked up. This title grows if I kill NPCs without dying in between. A streak or something you could say. So, why it didn''t worked? Well, I died. I died when I was hunting in danger forest. So, yea, the streak got broken. However, there is another problem. It may seem like I''m getting a lot of titles right now, but I''m not unfortunately. I mean like I''m not getting enough points. The E rank titles could be easily obtained and the D rank titles required bit of challenge, but C rank titles. Oh boy. They are problematic. Getting D or E rank titles right now kind of means nothing unless I get a lot of them. There are growth type titles, however the required to grow them each new time is getting higher and higher. So, the rate of acquiring titles got extremely slowed down after I left the beginner city. I have grow titles, the titles that can keep ranking up and evolving, but it takes both time and effort. Ranking them up at the start may seem easy, but the more you do it, the harder it gets, meaning you are getting less power and can only get more by putting even more efforts. Grow titles are good. Don''t take me wrong. But to make them really shine you need to develop them and all. Some titles provide higher rewards as they evolve, but there is also different type titles that is just simple title that doesn''t have ability to grow. It may seem like the non-grow titles are inferior, but that is not the case. For example. [E rank grow title can give you 5 stat points per rank.] [E rank non grow title can give you 30 or even 50 stat points from get go.] It works like that. Not only that, but titles that give you more points have even bigger requirements. But the more you grow your title, the higher reward is. For example, my title [NPC Killer]. The number of NPCs I need to kill to rank it up got bigger, but the bonus got... Well, the bonus only got bit bigger, so honestly the version where you needed to just kill 25 NPCs was way better... Yea. Fuck. Well, not all grow titles are that bad like this one, for example [Craft] given me 5 ss points, then 10, then 25 after crafting rare rarity item... Well, it did required a lot of time and research as well as materials... So, it wasn''t exactly easy and was bit problematic. Some grow titles are good while some are bad. Some grow titles just requires you to just do your own stuff, but some requires you to do specific action like killing yers or NPCs for example. Some grow titles may provide very strong effect each rank, but instead take way more efforts to rank up even once. So, yea, grow titles varies in many different ways. Some are good and some are. Bit problematic to grow. For FUKING EXAMPLE [CHAOS MAKER]. How the hell do I make this thing grow?! I still don''t get this title. Do I need to act like mad man or something to make it grow? All it says that I need to create chaos to make it grow. But what qualifies as chaos? Burning down house? Committing genocide? Or for example doing a revolution against cruel king or for example influencing the entire kingdom or/and specific location with your actions in some way? Let''s just forget it for now and speak about something different. About other yers strength and NPCs. I''m obviously not the only yer out there who knows about titles and how valuable they can be. Its honestly extremely easy to discover titles considering how easily you can get [E] rank titles. In short, everybody out there knows about existence of titles since earlies days of the game. They not only level up to get stronger but also try various stuff to obtain titles. In short, they are doing the same thing as me to grow stronger. Well expect the fact that I''mmitting genocide and I did spread the gue on purpose to destroy the city. But hey, my method worked, right? Anyway, ALL yers can grow stronger using titles, just like me, so I''m nobody special. NPCs probably also use title system or something simr, since different NPCs may have way higher strength, even though they have same level, same sses total level, same equipment and other stuff. For example, take the mayor guards that I encounter in Min. They were strong like hell, even though they level wasn''t supposed to be this high and I had already a shit tons of titles. Or for example these "Test subject" yers I used to see how my chimeras fight against the yers. They were clearly not evil people like me, meaning that doing good stuff can also give you titles. So, I''m not the only one getting stronger. yers and NPCs have their own means of getting stronger and let''s not forget about leveling up since this is one of the best ways of growing stronger. Anyway, me? My n is somewhat working since I got new titles. But I don''t think this is enough for the "Last target" I''m aiming for.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om . Let''s just hope the third vige will be much bigger and will be also much more challenging. Maybe it will rank up my titles or get me some new ones. I instantly began preparing for the third raid while hiding in the remains of the destroyed vige just like before. After some time had passed, the preparation for the third attack have beenpleted and the chimeras and me were on move again. The third target was the vige bit more far away from this one. However, while I was on the road, I ended up encountering the vigers from the second vige. When I beat them up, I ended up learning that they went out and visited the vige I was heading to. They apparently went and did some trade with them. I almost shitted my pants when they said they were from the vige I came from, thinking that some of them escaped without me even knowing, but it was false rm. By the way, chimeras ate them alive and I took their horse corpse. The first and the second vige had some horse, so I went and created those fake centaurs using dark elves bodies. I have now some cavalry. The human chimeras are. Quite good? I give them some of the farming tools as weapons and they can wield them. Stab, smack, sh and stuff. They are bit dull and robotic to the point you can easily tell how they can fight and even idiot could tell how they will attack. I don''t know if this depends on what corpse I use, like farmer or soldier. Well, I would need a soldier to confirm this theory in the first ce. There is also the fact that I bit rushed it, but oh well. However, for now I should focus on the third vige raid. It took some time but I was finally able to see it in the distance. This vige was much biggerpare to the other two, but I had a way more chimeras than before. I instantlyunched attack again and this time with my pseudo centaurs as well. There were few problems here and there, for example I didn''t realized that some of them knew how to fight. Well, they ended up ganged up by chimeras and eaten alive, so yea, resistance didn''tsted long since I also spread a freckling poison around like a bastard. It was way more problematic than other two viges, but in the end the vige was destroyed. It took way more effort than before, but I did it. The third vige was no more than just rubles. [Title: Vige Destroyer tier 1 has reached tier 2] [+50 stat points.] [Title: Settlement Destroyer tier 1 has reached tier 2] [+10 ss points.] [Title: NPC killer has reached tier 7] [+25 stat points] [You have decimated andpletely destroyed 3 different viges while not leaving even a single survivor behind.] [You have obtained title: Wrecker] C [C] [+ 80 stat points.] [Title: Chaos Maker C Tier 3 has reached tier 4] [+ 2 ss points] [Title: Evil C Tier 5 has reached tier 6] [+ 2 ss points] [Title: Chaotic Evil C Tier 2 has reached tier 3] [+ 3 ss points] [Tittle: Viin tier 1 has reached tier 2] [+60 stat points.] "." (I was hopping for bit more. But fuck me.) (I thought I would get same amount of titles I did when I straight up wrecked the entire beginner city, but I guess the viges were too small, huh? Well, I did knew that they were small thanks to the merchant from the city AND the merchant I murdered that tried going to the vige I was in.) (But still, the progress wasn''t as big as I hoped.) (Well, it''s not like I could have targeted "That" city since I would get fucked on the spot, so honestly this was the only option.) (Still, it should be somewhat. Enough?) () (Maybe?) "" "Anyway." C said Phantasia while taking out the map from his inventory. (All 3 viges that were on my path had been dealt with.) (I got way less titles than I thought, but I did secured good amount of points.) (I used every single point I got into the [Necro Mastery] and began increasing my number of chimeras.) (The first, second and third viges were only build up and I knew that they would be not enough for me. Well, I did hoped for the better titles and more, but still I did. Never mind.) (There are three reason why I chose these 4 viges specifically.) (The first are the titles I could get by destroying them.) (The second was for the human type materials in order to create more chimeras.) (The third was an safe route, since yers don''t take this route since it will just waste their time.) "The first vige is located quiet far away from the city I came from." "The second vige who was their neighbors was bit away." "But the third vige was extremely far away from the second vige." "In short, I ended up traveling quiet a distance." "But there was reason for all this!" "The reason why I took this route was to stay hidden and go around so nobody would know!" C said Phantasia while smiling malicious at the map. THE NEXT TARGET. "The only ce where people go after leaving the starting area!" "The town called Wild!" Chapter 45 – Wild town raid. (The second location where all yers go after leaving the starting location in this kingdom is the town called Wild.) (Yeb.) (I haven''t given up on destroying that ce.) (AND!) (The next target after that is the starting location I failed to destroy in the past. Beginner city Min.) (Both of these locations are currently below my level, but that doesn''t mean I can just go in and kill them all.) (Even an swarm of yers that are much lower level than me AND even guards could easily eat me alive.) (However, there are two things that I gives me huge advantage.) (My chimeras.) (I would like also use my gue, but there is not enough time for it to spread while fighting is going on.) (Still, the preparation I did were somewhat sessful. I didn''t as many titles as I hoped for, but still, I did managed to get some. I also prepared anrge number of chimeras, including a fast moving chimeras.) (The question is, will the Wild town be able to survive my raid or not?) (I''ve been putting all of my stat points in the [Necromancy Mastery] or [Taming Mastery] to increase my odds.) (Not only that, I wanted numbers, so I gave up on the pieces chimeras totally and focused only on parts one and made them in hurry.) (They are not perfect, but they are still pretty strong.) (However, the question is about the town defenses.) (They have some walls, but they are just some wooden walls, not some brick walls or anything like that. However, destroying them would take a time.) (I need to attack at least one of the town gates and let my chimeras inside in order not to waste time.) (However, the Min city instead has some proper defenses unlike this ce.) (My rampage may end up rming them, so I need to destroy Wild as soon as possible while using everything I can before then making a run for the Min city.) "Move out." Me and my chimera army began heading straight towards the Wild city. Right now, I had a huge advantage. Nobody knew about me or about the fact that I wasing their way. It was perfect! But this time, I need to make sure that the settlement won''t just get damaged but instead burned down to the ground,pletely destroyed. So not showing even one bit of mercy. Me and my chimeras traveled, this time sticking in the group instead of having an advance part go at front and attack. I need all the chimeras be read for the fight, even the slow moving ones for the invasion. So, all of my chimeras and I had traveled together. I did managed to get to the area that was close to the Wild town, but there was a problem. The Wild town is surrounded by grass field and right next to it was an forest where monster live. So, I have two options, run for it or go through the monster forest. The town has multiple entrance points, 3 to be specific in each direction. 2 points are connected to the main road while one of them is connected with the path that points towards the forest. The town should have some guards posted on the watch at all 3 entrances. The question, with one should I chose? . (Grass ins.) (I know that the monster forest may give me a cover, but there are several problems with this n.) (The first problem is that the forest isn''t really that close to the town and what if some people would escape from the forest and warn them.) (AND! There is another reason.) (When I first came to that town and left, I remember how the guards around were only in pairs.) (The defenses at the two main entrances arex, probably because of the fact that this ce is really peaceful area and there were no real monster rted problems. They only go to the forest to gather materials, but just in case they did made somewhat better gate in that direction.) (So, instead of using the forest as my cover, its way better to just rush at them from the side. They would probably not even notice me since this ce isn''t heavily guarded and there is not enough people on the watch.) (That means that the best way to attack the city is not through the forest, but instead through the main entrances.) "All of you! Fallow me!" C said Phantasia, ordering his chimeras Phantasia alongside his chimeras began running straight towards the city. His call not to attack through the forest was the right call. Phantasia is running towards the city, but nobody knows about him yet. "Hm?" "What is it?" C asked the guard on duty right next to the gate. "No. Wait. Do you hear that?" C asked the second guard. "" "Yea, I hear -WATCH OUT!" C shouted suddenly the first guard while potting at something behind the second guard. "?!" The guard quickly turned around and saw something running straight towards them. It was Phantasia and his chimeras that were running straight towards them. "Shit! Quickly! Get inside and close- " Before the first guard could finish speaking, a crossbow bolt flew and hit him right and pierced his head from behind, making the guard drop dead on the ground momentster. "?!" When the other guard looked towards Phantasia, he saw him wielding a crossbow. The guard quickly panicked and began running inside the city. "I won''t let you!" "[Poison Blow]!" Phantasia fired a projectile of poison smoke at the guard and as soon as the guard got inside the city the projectile had hit his location and created a cloud of smoke. "?!" "Hey! What is going on?!" C said one of the guards that was inside the city. ''Cough'' ''Cough'' "W-we are under attack! C-close the gates now!" C said the soldier that just came out of the cloud of poison. "!" "CLOSE IT!" - shouted the senior guard. The guards who were nearby began running towards the gate in order to close it. However, as soon as they started closing it, wolf hybrid quickly entered the city through the cloud of smoke and quickly rushed at the people who were closing the gate, stopping them instantly. The guards were unable to close the gate in time and momentter Phantasia alongside his other chimeras began bursting into the city through the unopen gate. Phantasia got inside the city. "TIME TO DIE!" C said Phantasia. Phantasia began firing [Poison Shot(s)] everywhere at anybody near him, slowly starting chaos in the city. "!" Phantasia suddenly stopped firing and grabbed the sword that was swinged at him with his gauntlet. "?!" (What the hell?!) C though the senior guard. "Bye." C said Phantasia while aiming with his second hand at the guard. "[Acid de]." Two des of acid flew at point nk range at the guard, hitting him right in the face and making him fall on the ground while holding his face. The senior guard wriggled in pain, but while he was doing that, Phantasia had dismounted his horse and was right next to the guard. Phantasia stepped on the man neck before starting to fire a barrage of the spells projectiles at the man. The merciless attacks ended up killing the senior guard quiet quickly. The brutal death of the senior guard ended up scarring and dropping their moral. But they didn''t had any time to mourn his death since the pseudo centaur chimeras are now attacking them. The screams of the people near the one of main gates and sound of battle ended up getting a lot of attention of the people of the Wild town that were nearby, including yers. "?!" "What the fuck is going on?!" C said the orc yer that was witnessing the guard getting killed left and right by the unknown monsters. "!" "Hey! Who is that?!" C shouted the dark elf yer while pointing with his finger at the masked figure. "." C Phantasia who was murdering the ground dropped his lifeless corpse to the ground before then looking towards the yers. "?!" "Oh shit! Why the fuck you shouted!" C said the angry orc yer. "Well, I''m sorry but I got scared. Wait." "This guy is a yer?!" C said the confused dark elf yer. "." C Phantasia stared silently at the yers. "Hey! What the fuck are you doing?!" C asked annoyed human yer. "" Phantasia didn''t said anything and began slowly walking towards the yers. "!" "Hey! Back off buddy!" C said the dark elf yer while aiming at his bow "Nah." C replied Phantasia before then snaping his fingers. Suddenly, two of the pseudo centaurs began running towards the yers, forcing the archer yer to fire its arrow in panic at the monster, hitting it but not killing it. The two monsters were still running towards the yers and the quick thinking orc quickly stepped up in front of the archer in order to protect him. But unfortunately, they had taken their eyes of Phantasia for the moment and he instantly fried skill [Acid Needles], firing an needles projectile at the orc yer, dealing massive amount of damage and making his guard getting broken in the process. This in turn allowed the chimera monster to stab the orc with the pitchfork. However, it wasn''t over. The second chimera used the farmer scythe and attacked the human yer, forcing him block. From both sides the chimeras were attacking. "!" "Shit!" The archer yer prepared to fire again with his bow. "?!"n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om (No wait!) (I need to shot the-) The archer turned around and though about attacking Phantasia instead of the chimera, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Phantasia hand right in front of him. Before the man could even react, he was grabbed by his face and then smashed against the ground. "[Poison Smoke]." Phantasia released a cloud of poison smoke in his location, covering and trapping all the yers near him. After the poison spread, the sound of screaming and des shing could hearding inside the cloud. More yers began arriving at the scene and saw the cloud of poison in front of them and before anybody of them could even do something, one of the trapped yers ended up falling outside the cloud onto the ground and tried to crawl away, but was suddenly then grabbed back to the cloud of poison as he was screaming for help before then screaming for mercy before then stopping screaming all together in the end. The new yers that just got here were already scared after witnessing what just transparent in front of them, but then somebody walked out of the cloud of the poison while wearing a gue doctor mask and top hat. "Ah." "Good day kiddos." "The doctor is here." "And if you don''t mind, I will kill you all now, kay?" C said Phantasia while having his chimeras in background killing and eating people alive. The" Doctor" has already began his raid against the Wild town. The question is: Will they survive or not? Chapter 46 – Wild town raid - Part 2. Phantasia alongside his chimeras had managed to infiltrated town by using one of the main gates and were now killing anybody remotely close to the main gate. "" C Phantasia stared in silence at the yers while they were taking out their weapons from their inventories. (So far so good.) (But I cannot let my guard down.) (If too many of theme at me, I will get fucked pretty much instantly.) (I need to not let them organize properly!) "GO!" As soon as Phantasia ordered, his wolf chimeras began running towards the yers and began fighting them instantly the moment they got closer. While the yers were fighting chimeras, Phantasia was firing a barrage of the poison projectiles at the yers, hitting them and destroying their ranks. (I have advantage both in levels and equipment.) (So killing them-) One of the guard tried attacking Phantasia with a spear, but he quickly stepped side and rushed at the young guard before grabbing his face and then firing [Acid Shot] straight inside his mouth, killing him instantly. (Fuck! I almost didn''t noticed him!) "!" "[Poison Grenade]!" Phantasia fired a sphere of poison at the yers, hitting one of them and causing an explosion to ur that hit many yers. "If I were you, I would probably run away friends!" C said Phantasia while firing non stop the poison and bone projectiles at the yers, harassing them from the distance while using this chimeras to spread the chaos around. Both the yers and the guards who tried doing anything were instantly picked off by Phantasia while some other people who tried to group up ended up being targeted by chimeras. So far, Phantasia was pushing more and more into the town as the casualties were increasing on town side. It may seem like Phantasia has an upper hand now, but in reality, it wasn''t the case. Phantasia rushed chimeras weren''t really perfect and had some problems. Not only that, there was a clear limit of how many chimeras he can have and there was also a small army that consisted of yers and NPCs in the town. The chimeras were taking a damage nonstop, forcing Phantasia to sometime attack people who had ganged up on some of his chimeras. The situation only looked like Phantasia had an upper hand, but in reality, it was bnced. However, he didn''t wanted to people to know that, so he was deliberately spreading as much chaos as possible to make himself look like they don''t stand a chance against him. But unfortunately, people were believing in Phantasia lies. "Shit! Fuck this!" - said the yer before running away. "!" "Hey! Wait!" C shouted the other yer at the yer was running away. "Come back here and- " Before the yer could finish speaking, he got hit with an [Bone Javelin] that ended up piercing his head and killing the already wounded yers. "." "You know, I wanted to go bit wild and see how you fuking do and all, but fuck this." C said Phantasia. "I though maybe you would surprise me or something, but no." "You are still fuking around like idiots." "HEY! CHIMERAS!" C shouted Phantasia suddenly. "You can stop holding back now and kill them all!" "?!" "They were fuking holding back?!" C said the sacred orc yer. (Nope. They weren''t.) C though Phantasia. (I''m just bullshiting in order to scare you people.) "" "Well then." Phantasia began slowly walking towards the yer while getting his ws ready and making them visible to the yers. But then he suddenly started running towards them and this was enough to finally make yers panic, thinking that there was really no chance of winning. "Run" "FUKING RUN FOR IT!" yers gave into the panic and began running away. And this was the worst possible choice they could make, since them running away caused a chain reaction among the town guards as well as other yers. The defenders were now either running away orpletely taken over by the chaos, not working together properly in turn and making them be an easy targets for the chimeras or Phantasia himself. The defenses were crumbling at rabid rate, but that wasn''t all. While nobody was paying attention, Phantasia had one of his chimeras made out of the farmer corpse use a torch and set the town walls on fire from outside and also have another farmer humanoid chimera use the troche inside the town and set random things on fire. Not only the chimeras were going on the total rampage, but also fire began appearing inside the town and spreading. The town waspletely being swallowed by the chaos. Some people didn''t lose hope and tried attacking Phantasia. But unfortunately, they were not many and Phantasia was stronger than any of his chimeras, so they straight up chosen the worst possible target that led to them getting annihted. And the funny thing is, they had a chance, but Phantasia lies straight up make them panic and run away in fear, trying not to get killed. (. Huh This is way-) (NO!) (Don''t be fuking overconfident!) C though Phantasia while snapping man neck. (They may not know it, but they still have a chance to kill me!) (So I shouldn''t-) Phantasia was suddenly hit right in the shoulder with an arrow, catching himpletely off guard. "!"n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "I fuking hit him!" C said the excited dark elf yer. "" Phantasia grabbed the arrow and took it out before looking at the idiot who gave his location by shouting "I fuking hit him!". "" "Oh no." C said dark elf yer after realizing that maybe shouting wasn''t the best decision he made in his entire life. "." "Please don''t kill me?" C asked the archer yer. "" "Fetch." C said Phantasia while pointing at his finger at the archer. The dark elf tried to run away, but the wolf chimeras were too fast and quickly pouted at him, pinning him against the ground before then starting to rip him apart while he was still alive. (Fuck me, that guy took me off guard.) (Still, I''m d he didn''t hit me in the head instead.) (I maybe a zombie, but don''t zombies usually dies when you head shot them and stuff? I don''t think I want to find out on myself.) (But anyway, the situation in the town is turning extremely chaotic.) (People are running away and probably leaving the town.) (I blocked the main gate that is connected to the part of the main road that is in direction of Min city, meaning that they would have to either escape through the gate leading to the forest or the other main gate.) (My lie had worked and people really believe they have no chance against me.) (I think the guards also gave up of attacking me and instead focused on rescuing the civilians.) (Honestly, I want to chase them around, but I need to be prepared for the invasion of Min.) (BUT THAT DOESN''T MEAN I SHOULD NOT HUNT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL IN AND NEAR THIS FRECKING TOWN!) Phantasia was not holding back at all and was hunting anybody he could, be it an yer or NPC, everybody was killed. But he wasn''t finished yet! He began running through the town alongside his chimeras, running straight towards the second main gate. And before long, he found it and the people who were evacuating and was straight up running towards them alongside his wolf chimeras. "!" "Shit! That madman ising this way!" C shouted the guard. "Run you stupid fools! Get the hell out!" Some of the guards that were still left began moving towards Phantasia and his chimeras in order to block them and give the civilians necessary time to escape. "" "Go around them andpletely ignore these people in front and just attack the people behind them." C said Phantasia to his chimeras. The guards were ready to confront Phantasia and his chimeras, but then the chimeras run not towards the guard and instead around them, heading straight to the civilians that were trying to escape. "?!" C the guards looked scared and confused as the chimeras straight up ignored them. "Hey! Stop them!" C shouted one of the guards while turning around and trying to run towards the chimeras that were getting closer to the civilians. However, as soon as some of the guards took of their sight off the Phantasia, he began firing barrage of magic attacks at them. "HEY FRIEINDS! PLAY WITH ME!" C said Phantasia while firing his spells nonstop at the guards. The guards needed to defend themselves, but they also needed to help the civilians since the chimeras were already attacking them. The guards were at the dilemma. Defend themselves? Or save the civilians? No matter the option they would chose, people would die. One of the guards tried to go and help the civilians, but then was instantly attacked with [Acid de] as soon as he turned around and ended up getting hit right in the back before falling on the ground. The remaining guards realized that as long as Phantasia was here it was impossible to rescue the civilians, so they rushed at him. However, Phantasia magic attack gave him range advantage over them, allowing him to barrage them from safe distance while not letting them get closer to him. But surprisingly one of the guards who was veteran had managed to continue running towards the Phantasia without getting hit many times since Phantasia was not only targeting him, but also other guards. This in turn allowed the guard to run towards Phantasia and managed to get close enough for the orc guard to swing his Halbert at him, forcing him to quickly back away and trying to gain distance. (Oh no you won''t!) The orc guard tried giving chase, but as soon as he stepped foot on Phantasiast spot, he ended up triggering the [Poison Trap] that was right beneath his feet. "?!" As soon as the guard noticed the magic circle beneath him, it was toote. The trap released a poison gas that ended up hitting and swallowing him andpletely blocking his view. Momentter, a w had came out from outside the smoke and stabbed the man right in the chest before a second w came out of the smoke and slitted the man throat. After stabbing and shing the man throat, Phantasia just throwed the man on the corpse while he walked past the traps smoke and headed straight towards the guards. While that was happening, the wolf chimeras were still attacking people that were trying to escape. The guards tried doing anything, but it was no use. One by one guards were getting either impaled by Phantasia ws or getting poisoned to the death. Before long, thest guard who tried to sacrifice themselves in order to rescue the civilian ended up dropping dead on the ground. People who were in full panic mode were running away, leaving the town, but some of them were attacked by chimeras and killed. Even after leaving the city people didn''t stopped running. Even yers were straight up running away with tail between their legs since they realized that the person they are dealing with is straight up somebody fucked up. Even outside the city people were still getting hunted down, forcing them to run even further without looking back. However, before anybody realized Phantasia stopped chasing them and returned them back to the town. After returning back to the town, it was over. The chimeras alongside their master ended uppletely demolishing the town since nobody was there to stop him. The Wild town has been officially destroyed. Chapter 47 – Wild town no more.

(Still, it''s not that bad.) (Thanks to the titles I have obtained through my rampage, I can increase [Necromancy Mastery], [Taming Mastery] and [Mana], allowing me to produce more chimeras and way faster.) (But. The Min city is still problem.) (I know that people there are way below my level and I can easily kill them.) (But the question is, how do I get inside the city?) (And, is that ce way more secured than before AND considering how many people y this game, I will definitely encounter a horde of newbies there.) (There are no yers above 40 there, so I can definably squash them.) (But even ants can bite and the chimeras that were made in rush will definitely be weak like hell.) (But I don''t have to worry.) (I have prepared some new gues that I can weaponize.) (Its not really that big of a threat for yers above level 70 or maybe even 60, but it is quiet annoying and will definitely quickly kill newbies.) (But the problem still stands with the city.) (I may have blocked one of the main gate, forcing people to go other way around, but yers inside the beginner city may panic and the guards may get curios and ask questions, in turn they would start preparing themselves.) (If they lock the gates, then I won''t have any way of getting inside.) (And those walls of that city are straight up massive and are not made out of the wood.) (I don''t have any chimeras that can fly over those walls or climb them.) (Maybe dugues chimeras, considering their ws, but I don''t have any.) (So I need to rush it.) (The area around that ce is covered in forest and grass field.) (I need to hide my chimeras in the forest before attacking them.) (The n is simple, attack the main gate and make sure they won''t close it.) (After taking it over, call my chimeras from hiding spot would start invading the city.) (But the mayor problem is that I don''t know the current state of the city.) (All I know is that they had recovered, but there is a good chance that they had some reinforced the city defenses, including the guards.) (That ce maybe have some stronger guards now on duty, considering what I did and how many guards I killed.) (But now here is annoying problem, how do I get in?) (Should I put away my equipment away and then put in back on while inside?) (.) (Nope.) (Many people of this town had escaped, both NPCs and yers.) (I will definitely not be able to wipe out all the people in the city.) (And if somebody escape and realize that "Weird Guy" A.K.A me get into the city and then "Doctor" appears. Even idiot can easily realize what was going on.) (But I''m a wanted criminal there. Fuck, maybe I should have prepared another mask or something.) (I have my "Wood Mask", but I''m not sacrificing that identity.) (So I have to charge in while wearing my gue doctor mask!) (.) (Wait, even if I would wear some other mask, wouldn''t that make me very suspicious?) (.) (Fuck it.) (Even if I were to wear a clock, they would just stop me.) (So head on approach it is.) After doing the necessary preparation, I immediately began traveling towards the city. Right now, it''s a race against the time. I cannot wait and make up some numbers, I need to go NOW! I can make chimeras along the way, but they are rushed and not very good, meaning they are weaklings. Every single chimera I have right now is damaged, especially the rushed ones made out of the viger corpse, they will definitely die. But fuck this! I don''t care if all of those chimeras dies during the battle! Even the good ones I had made. I will FUKING destroy that city! I don''t care what I use! gues, poisons chimeras or fuking other stuff I have! That ce will be no more soon and I swear it! Chapter 48 – Min city under attack – Again. [City of Min C Mayor mansion.] "" "Enter" C said the young man that was writing while sitting right next to the table. The door to the room suddenly entered the dark elf butler entered the room. "Excuse me master, I have bringed the report about the recent activities regarding the merchants." C said the old dark elf butler with a beard. "." "What is this time?" C asked the young dark elf. "Well, this time things seem much better than we expected, here." C said the dark elf before walking towards the young man and handing him the report. "." "Well, its progress." C said the young dark elf. "Its probably because of these adventures appearing here again and again, its attracting people, mostly merchants." "City is recovering and is getting stronger than before..." "." "Sir." C said butler after realizing that the young dark elf is sad. "I know. I know." C said the young dark elf. "It''s just Annoying." "My father, the previous ruler of this city ended up being by some sort of member of the unknown terrorist group and after his death the city is now in the road of bing even better ce." "It''s just not fair."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "He wasn''t asshole or anything and people loved him." [New mayor of the Min city - Alex Mim The Second C Son of the Alex Mim the first who was the previous ruler of this city.] "." "Still no information about that weird group of people?" C asked the new mayor. "No. There was nothing." C said the mayor. ". Is that so." C said the young dark elf. (Dammit.) (Who the hell were these people?! They just messed up with our city and then disappeared?!) (The city haspletely recover and all, but that incident left some scars, especially the people.) (They are scared of this unknown organization that had spread the gue and killed my father.) (There is straight up nothing.) (I even got the lord of thisnd involved, since the fate of this city was heavily affected his ie, but in the letters, I received from him he said that he did not found anything about them.) (This is concerning.) (Still. Right now, we need to calm down people.) (I have reinforced the city defenses and even recruited more guards.) (It did costed a lot of money, but it was worth it.) (The people are calming down knowing that the city is well better defended than before.) (But still. I cannot shake off the feeling that we are still in danger.) (Am I being paranoid?) [Meanwhile C One of the main gates of the Min city.] "." "Man. Its boring here." C said the orc guard. "Hey, beat it already." C said the second orc guard. "I just don''t fuking get it, do you newbie?" "This city is still shaken up by the past events and- " "Yea, yea. I get it." C said the arrogant orc. "But most of the times we are just dealing with some thugs or adventurers makingmotion and that it." "So, you are saying you would rather fight some terrorist?" C asked the annoyed orc guard. "N-no. It''s just- " "Then shut up and just do your job. You are getting paid pretty well and all so you shouldn''tin." "Besides, do you really think a wanted criminal would just show up at the main gate or something?" "Hm?" "What is it?" C asked arrogant orc. "Is it me or somebody is ridding her at fast pace?" The two orcs spotted somebody riding on the horse at fast pace towards them. "?" "Em Why is going so fast?" C asked the arrogant orc. "I don''t know?" "Maybe he want to take a shit or something?" C replied the other orc guard. "But just in case we should stop him for the check." The man was getting closer to the gate and was not showing any sight of slowing down. The man was getting was getting closer and closer while the two guards waited. However, as soon as the man was getting near the gate the orc who worked here before the gue had his facial expressionpletely changed. The guard tried screaming something but the projectile made out the poison smoke flew towards them and exploded, creating a small cloud of poison. While all of that was happening, a viger chimera was observing the entire situation all the way from the forest. "This is an order. Kill any person you see, but you there, don''t attack and instead stay in this position." "As soon as you me attacking the guards, call other chimeras and attack." "" The chimera saw the attack happening from the distance and began screaming with its two heads. As soon as the chimera screamed, the chimeras who were killing yers in the area heard it had suddenly stopped in their tracks and instead were straight up running towards the main gate. While all of that was happening, the two guards were quickly killed by Phantasia before momentster Phantasia used skill [Poison Smoke] to cover up the entrance and then use the entrance in order to get inside the city. Phantasia was officially inside. "." (Okay.) (I know I shouldn''t have say it and all.) (But how the hell I used the main gate entrance and got inside the city so easily?) (That doesn''t-) Before Phantasia could finishing thinking what the fuck happened, several of the guards began appearing and rushing to the scene, spotting the Phantasia. "Oh." (Huh. I was expecting them to appear and all But isn''t this way more than I thought?) (They really improved this ce defenses by a lot, huh?) A lot of guards got at the scene and pointed their spears at Phantasia. But one of the guards instantly noticed something was extremely off about the invader. "Wait! Look at the mask he is wearing!" C shouted the dark elf guard. "He is- " Before the guard could finish speaking, Phantasia throwed something up in the sky. The object that was thrown up ended up getting attention of all of the guards in the process. When the people looked at the object that was thrown, they realized it was some sort of ss bottle. (The interesting thing about my gues is that I can store them or if I have them in liquid form, I can apply them to my weapons like poison coating.) "But this will do as well!" C said Phantasia while pointing his crossbow at the ss container. Phantasia pullet the trigger and the crossbow bolt was fired, the bolt flew and hit the container, shattering it and releasing a red cloud. The soldiers looked with scared and confused look what was going on, but as soon as they started reacting, the cloud quickly fallen down on them. "Shit! What the hell is this stuff?!" C shouted one of the guards. "A surprise." C said Phantasia. "?!" The guards swinged his spear behind him, thinking that the enemy was behind him, however he hit nothing. The smoke stopped bother people sight, but the instance that happened the guard who tried attacking Phantasia ended up being stabbed in the back with Phantasia ws. The other guards saw what just happened, but before they could react the young dark elf fallen on the ground dead. "." Phantasia began running away. "?!" "Catch that fucker!" C shouted guard. The guards began running after Phantasia. (Yes! Chase me you idiots!) (I reduced this gue strength and bonus effect for two things! Infection and duration!) (Normally, creating even small amount of gue in its primally form of either liquid or smoke ends up using a lot of materials and the only real way to spread in the past was to personally kill people and use their corpse since I wasn''t able to produce a lot primally gue form.) (Honestly, creating that one bottle of the gue gas ended up using a lot of materials.) (But it''s worth it!) (This stupid idiots are now spreading the gue around while chasing me.) (I''m also covered in the gue as well!) (This gue won''t kill some of the higher level people, but the newbies and civilians? They are fucked!) (Somon!) (Chase me around like idiots!) (While you are chasing me my chimeras are already on their way.) (I will turn this ce into a living hell once again as I did before!) (But this time the Min city won''t survive it!) Chapter 49 – Last target Min city. Current situation. Phantasia has entered the city through the main gate and ended up provoking a lot of guards at the same (Way more than he expected). After he provoked the guards, he used his gue to infect the guards before using the moment of distraction to break free and run into the city. Now Phantasia and the guards who were covered in the gue were unknowingly to them, were now spreading the gue around. While that was happening, the chimeras who were hiding in the forest and were murdering the yers inside were now charging towards the main gate. And as of right now Well Phantasia was ying the game of cat and mouse with guards. "Stop him!" A huge group of guards were chasing Phantasia right now. (FUCK ME!) (THEY REALLY MADE THIS PLACE WAY BETTER IN TERMS OF THE DEFENCE!) (I kind of wish that I didn''t used [Poison Smoke] as a means of getting attention and just saved it up to lose them.) "!" C Phantasia noticed something going on behind him and when he looked, he saw some of the guards having hard time breathing or just straight up slowing down "." (GOOD.) (These guys didn''t seem too high level, so the gue is effect is kicking them nicely.) (But they will soon realize what they are dealing with.) (They may think that its poison at first, but they will realize sooner orter that I had infected them with gue.) (But most of the guards seem to be fine.) (They are probably level 50 and above.) (Even though this is starting location, they are not taking any chance, huh?) (Well, there was an mad man who went around and infected the entire city with the gue and all, so.) Phantasia turned around and began using skill [Necro Shot Barrage], firing an barrage of the necrotic bullets at the guards, trying to slow them down. The guards put up their defense and took on the hit, but this time there was too many of them and the remaining guards were running towards Phantasia. "[Acid Spray]!" Phantasia fired a spray of acid at the group of the guards on his left, hitting them and making them scream in pain, but as soon as he tried going for his right side the guards were already near him and one of them tried to stab him with their spears, forcing Phantasia to quickly back away in order to dodge. (Fuck me!) (These guys aren''t panicking at all!) (They are nothing like the guards from the Wild town! They were extremely easy to beat!) (But these guys are way differentpare to them!) "Hey What is going on?" - asked the passerby yer. "Is this guy fighting NPC guards? Why?" C asked another passerby yer. "" C Phantasia looked towards the yers that were talking about him. "" (Oh. It should work.) Phantasia began running towards the yers. "?!" "W-wait?! Hey?!" C said the confused yer.N?v(el)B\\jnn Phantasia grabbed a random newbie yer by their face and pushed them at the guards before running off. The other yers instantly backed off, not wanting to get into problems. The guards chased the Phantasia, but after chasing him a bit, they realized that they are in the main street where a lot of yers and NPCs were present. "?!" "Where the hell is he?!" C shouted the dark elf guard. "" (Good.) (Good thing I remember about this ce being the busiest part of the city.) (Now that I have crowd of people to block my sight I can-) "HEY! I FUKING SEE HIM!" C shouted the orc guard. "I fuking see his top hat sticking out!" "." Phantasia began attacking the random civilians with acid attacks and even used his poison attacks. The random passerby''s who got attacked were getting killed if they were newbies yers or ended up getting extremely nasty injury. In instance, the people went in the panic and began running in all directions. "?!" "H-hey!" C shouted the guard who tried to go through the panicking crowd, but had hard time doing so. Phantasia was running away while attacking random civilians, spreading the chaos even further. (Damn! I wanted to go away quietly and then reaper momentster!) (Damn you my nice looking top hat! Damn you!) (Still, the panicking ground will make things much harder for them to find me!) (Not only that, they will rub off other people and infect them!) (Thanks to this idiots the gue will spread around the city without anybody even realizing until it will be toote!) (And the chimeras will also help out in that as well.) [Meanwhile C The gate that was attacked by Phantasia.] "Shit! What the hell are those things?!" C shouted the guard. The guards that went to the gate to inspect area where the mysterious assant broken in ended up facing off against the mysterious monsters that were created by Phantasia. "Fuck me!" C said the guard that was holding back the pseudo centaur. "What the hell are those things?! They look like centaur, but their top part is a dark elf!" "What do we do?! Are those things people or something?!" C said the dark elf guard while blocking the pseudo centaur spear. "Just kill them! If not, they will kill us!" C shouted the guard from behind who was facing off against the chimera made out of the civilian corpse. The guards were trying to stop the chimeras from the entering the city, but so far, they were unsessful. Too many guards paid attention to Phantasia, allowing the chimeras to break into the city after killing the guards. So right now, there was a psychopath who is going around and killing people while being chased by the guards who are unaware the fact that they are infected by the gue. And while all of that happening, the undead chimeras had made their way into the city and started spreading chaos of their own. Pretty much, the entire city was slowly being affected by that chaos and the entire city had also raised the rm, warning the citizens that the city is under attack. "There he is! After him!" C shouted the guard. "Nope." C replied Phantasia while flipping off the guards that were chasing him. "[Poison Smoke]!" Phantasia released [Poison Smoke] on his current location, blockingpletely the guards sight. The guards didn''t wanted to approach the poison smoke, knowing its danger. However, because they waited and lost the sight of the Phantasia, he used this chance to run away unnoticed. "?!" "Where is he?!" C said the guard after the [Poison Smoke] disappeared. "Look around! There is no way he could have gotten too far!" C shouted the guard that was looking for Phantasia. "Check everything! Garbage and the alleyways! He is definitely somewhere!" The guards were franticly looking around for Phantasia everywhere, but he didn''t went too far and was on the nearby roof of a store. "" "Phew." C said Phantasia. (I did expected this ce to have way stronger defenses, but still, what the fuck?) (Did I really scared them that much with thest incident to the point their increased their defenses that much? This ce has way more guards that it should!) (Still, I was somehow able to escape.) (I used my ws gauntlets to climb on the wall and I got to say, I thought it would be way easier, but instead I almost got catched red handed, I got here inst moment.) (I almost shited myself.) (.) (Still, it seems that the chaos is spreading nicely.) (These idiot guards ended up chasing me around and infected the other guards in the process as well as the civilians and the yers.) (This gue main power isn''t damage but instead infection.) (Its just matter of time before the gue will once again swallow this ce whole.) (The chimeras had probably gotten into the city already.) (The n is going somewhat well Well there are few problems though.) (Their defenses are too big and there are too many guards.) (On top of that, I''m still not close enough to destroy this ce.) (gue will spread around the chaos and the chimeras will kill people, but that is not enough.) (Until a majority of those guards are dealt with, I won''t be able to destroy this ce.) (I already killed some of them, but I don''t see FUKING end to them!) (Just how many freckling guards did they hired?!) (This will be. Way harder than I thought many times over...Shit.) Chapter 50 - Last target Min city – Part 2. "Shit! I can''t find him anywhere!" C said the guard that was looking for Phantasia. "Fuck! Did he disappeared in thin air or something?" C said another guard who was also looking Phantasia. "HEY!" C shouted the guard that run into the group of the guards. "What the hell are you doing here?!" "The city is attacked by some sort of weird creatures!" "?!" "Wait, what?!" C asked the orc guard who was after Phantasia. "Common you fuking idiots! Those things are killing civilians!" C said the guard before running off. The guards who were after Phantasia didn''t knew what to do. Help out in dealing with the monsters? Or chase the madman who killed a lot of civilians left and right as well as few guards? "." "Fuck it. We are chasing the mad man." C said the older guard. "The monsters is one thing but that mad man is another, so we- " As soon as the older guard turned around, he saw the pair of guards dropping dead and right behind was Phantasia just standing with his ws covered in blood. "!" "There- " "[Poison Arrow]!" Phantasia fired an arrow of poison guard, hitting him right in the face before he could even try to defend himself. The guard grabbed his face while screaming and the other guard who was in the area looked towards the injured guard worried and that was huge mistake. Phantasia rushed at him and stabbed him in the neck with his ws before then finishing him off with [Bone Javelin] right in the face that finished off the man. After killing the nervous guard, he quickly approached the dying older guard and finished him. (.) (Okay Nobody saw that Good that we were in the alley way.) (But it seems that they are fully aware of the chimeras.) (Damn.) (I did not expected for them to have that many guards.) (I don''t now know how long they willst, even the well-made ones.) (Still, that entire mess and me being chased around had definitely spread the gue around the city.) (Newbies and civilians should start suffering and maybe be aware of the gue.) (But it''s definitely not enough.) (These guards are way more problematic than guards I killedst time I was here.) (Should I aim for the lord to spread panic again?) (.) (Nah.) (They will definitely see iting.) (The chaos is spreading around since I''m going around and killing people and the chimeras are also going on the rampage, destroying everything they see.) (gue will also make the chaos spread around.) (But these guards. Fuck me.) (How do I deal with them?) (They are the biggest obstacle in my way.) (Should I focus on assassinating them?) (But then they would put more attention to the chimeras.) (Joining up with chimeras are out of question, since they will have no need to spread around their forces in order to look for me.) (So, going alone is better option.) (But its better if they don''t use too many troops against chimeras.) (I''m way higher level than these fuckers, but there is too many of them.) (I have still some of my better potions left, but I already used up a lot of the stole potions I took from the Wild town.) () (Fuck it.) Phantasia left his hiding spot and run out of the alleyway onto the panicking civilians. He leaped at them and began using his ws and magic to kill them mercilessly. The people who saw him began panicking again. "FUCK!" C said the random newbie yer before running towards the mad man. "?!" "HEY! What the hell are you doing?!" C asked the orc yer. "DIE!" C shouted the dark elf yer, swing his sword at Phantasia, but not really doing anything since Phantasia just grabbed his sword with his gloves. "." "That was extremely dumb dude." C said Phantasia before stabbing the man in the neck and then ripping his head off. "." "Boo." C said Phantasia. The newbies yers began running away, realizing that they have 0% chance of even scratching the mad man. However, the mad man wasn''t satisfied and was attacking the yers and NPCs nearby, killing them and making the panic spread around. Before long, the guards arrived at the scene and spotted Phantasia. "!" "There is that mad man! Get him!" C shouted the guard. The guards began chasing Phantasia again while he was using the panicking people as his obstacles against the guards, slowing them down while also killing some people in order to spread the panic more. (Good. They are chasing me.) C though Phantasia while looking behind him. (Right now, I need them to split their attention between me and chimeras.) (If one side gets too much attention, then they will be fucked, be it me or chimeras.) (So chase me around you fuckers!) While Phantasia was provoking the guards and spreading the chaos, the chimeras were still on their rampage, attacking and killing any civilians they spotted. "There!" C shouted the guard that noticed the chimera that just killed a newbie yer. The guards rushed towards the two headed wolf chimera and began attacking it. However, while fighting the wolf chimera, one of the guards began screaming in pain from behind. The other two guards turned around and saw the pseudo centaur who had stabbed the guard with a spear. The guards realized that there was more than one chimera, but fortunately more guards arrived at the scene. The chimeras were going on the rampage in the city, killing civilians and guards, forcing the city defenders to go and hunt down the creatures. Some of the chimeras were killed, but that wasn''t the main point. A lot of people had been already infected with the gue and they have been starting to show on some people. Soon, the people will be fully aware of the gue going around, but even right without the panic caused by the panic, the city is in quiet chaotic state. Every single guard had been mobilized in order to deal with the invaders. "I got it!" C said the guard after killing the dark elf and orc chimera. "Don''t celebrate yet! We need to kill rest of these- " Before the guard could finish speaking, a crossbow bolt flew and pierced his head from behind, making the guard drop dead. "?!" "JOE!" C shouted the gobbling guard who killed the chimera after witnessing his friend death. The second crossbow flew towards the guards, but this time they were on guard. The gobbling guard quickly dodged to the side, making the bolt who was aimed at his heart only hit left arm instead. However, the gobbling guard didn''t realized that a barrage of the poison projectiles came his way and was hitting him over and over again. Before long, the damage he endured was too much and he ended up dying.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "." (Fuck. The weak chimeras are already dying.) C though Phantasia while staring at his dead creation. (I already killed a ton of civilians, NPCs and yers alike, but those fuking guards are still okay!) (How the hell they even have that kind of money to hire that many guards in the first ce?!) The answer is yers. The more yers came here, the more of an ie the city got. And since this is a first location that yers start in and the fact that game got incredibly popr means that this ce was getting a lot of money. (I just fuking don''t understand!) (I turned this ce in hell once! Shouldn''t they have spent fortune to repair. Well, I only destroyed one building and infected barracks, but still, people suffered a lot and the chaos damaged the city itself.) "Hey! I heard something here!" C shouted a voice from behind. Phantasia quickly run off before momentster the group of guards arrived at the scene and saw the two guards dead on the floor alongside the orc dark elf chimera. "Shit! We were toote! It look like they took each other down." C said the gobbling guard. "Hm? Wait a second. This is a crossbow bolt and traces of acid and poison magic on this guy body." C said the gobbling guard while inspecting dead gobbling body. "He- " Crossbow bolt flew towards the goblin, but the orc guard stepped in and used his shield to block the bolt. (Oh fuck.) C though Phantasia who tried to do a sneaky assassination again, but failed. "There!" C shouted the orc guard who realized where the crossbow bolt came from. (Oh, fuck again!) Phantasia left his hiding spot and began running away, making the guards notice him. The guards gave chase after Phantasia. (For crying out loud! No matter how many of these bastards I kill, there are still lot left! How?!) "[Stick Goo]!" Phantasia fired a sticky liquid at the guards, hitting some of them and slowing them down, making them also block the other guards path and allowing Phantasia to gain a lot of distance between him and the chasing guards. (Fuck me, I wanted to quickly deal with them, but that orc straight up shattered in all!) (Right now I need to find a new hiding spot and quickly use potions to-) While Phantasia was running, he ended uping across the guards who just finished off the centaur chimera and Phantasia himself idently came in line of sight, ended up being noticed instantly. "." "GET HIS ASS!" C shouted the guard. "[Poison Smoke]!" Phantasia fired a cloud of poison, covering the enemy sight and giving him chance to run away. (Shit!) (I didn''t wanted to use it now but there are too many people chasing me right now!) "." "WAIT THEY TOOK DOWN CENTAUR?!" C said Phantasia. (Oh, this isn''t good.) C though Phantasia while running away. (They are taking the stronger chimeras way sooner than I though.) (But they did took some casualties. I saw some corpse on the ground here and there that wasn''t my doing.) Phantasia quickly hid in the alley way as the group of guards passed by. "" Phantasia poked out his head from trashcan. (It seems they are gone.) C though Phantasia while leaving the trashcan. (Still, the situation is far worse than I though.) (I''m killing people, but there are still too many guards left.) (I can still assassinate them here and there to reduce their numbers, but the more chimeras they kill, the bigger their groups will be and there won''t be many guards who are all alone.) (The "Big Guy" I''m making right now isn''t finished yet.) C though Phantasia while drinking potions left and right. (Not only that, I don''t know how I willst myself; I already used a lot of potions.) (The gue is already hindering people and making them panic, but the chimeras will be sooner orter wiped out.) (Right now I''m also using fast reload crossbow with extreme high attack bolts.) (However, this bolt is only good for hitting vital spots or headshots.) (I still have my one shot crossbow with high attack but very slow reload speed.) (Should I take high ground and snipe them from afar?) () (Nah. Too many problems with that.) (They would for example spot me and block the only way out, straight up trapping me.) "" Running away, hiding, recovering, attacking, repeat. Running away, hiding, recovering, attacking, repeat. Running away, hiding, recovering, attacking, repeat. (I did that way too many times since I wanted to be careful. But I''m way too fuking idiot.) C though Phantasia before leaving his hiding spot and aiming with his crossbow at one of the guards. Phantasia fired with his crossbow, hitting the guard in the head and instantly killing him, but ending up being noticed by the other guards. "Yoo-Hoo." C said Phantasia while waving his hand. "There he is!" C shouted the young dark elf guard. (Its getting risky, but fuck it!) C though Phantasia while putting away his crossbow. (Even if it cost me my arm or leg, I need to kill as many of those guards as possible before they band together and hunt me down for real.) (I can''t y it safe, I need to show myself and kill all of them before they band together or some sort of boss shows up that will fuck me.) (Before that happens, I need to kill as many of those guards as possible and this time I cannot dy it any longer.) "Come to me you motherfuckers." "The doctor will heal you from the disease called life!" C said Phantasia. (.) (Huh. This was pretty good line.) (I should probably note it down.) Chapter 51 - Last target Min city – Part 3. The guards were rushing at Phantasia, but then the mad man began throwing daggers at the guards that were covered in poison. Some of the guards were hit by the poison daggers and ended up falling behind while the remaining guards rushed in and tried to attack Phantasia with their weapons, but Phantasia quickly dodged one of the spears before punching the guard in the face and then applying the other guard spear with his gauntlets. The first guard tried to attack with his spear, but Phantasia punched him from above before firing [Poison Ball] at his face, killing the guard. "Common! Is that all you can do?! I dealt with assholes who didn''t just bark unlike you!" C said Phantasia while provoking the guards. One of the guards tried attacking Phantasia with his spear, but Phantasia dodged the attack again, but then something stabbed him from behind. "?!" C Phantasia quickly looked back and saw a gobbling guard stabbing him with the spear. "MOTHERFUCKER!" "[Acid Ball]!" Phantasia fired a ball of acid at goblin from palm of his hand, hitting him in head and making him let go of the spear. The other guard tried to stab Phantasia from front, but he grabbed the spear right before the de had digged further into his ce. The guard tried pushing the de further in, but Phantasia quickly aimed with his hand at him and fire [Acid de] at him, dealing massive damage and pushing back the guard. (Okay, I''m killing them, but head on fight is way deadlier than I though.) (Still, there is only 1 left-) "HEY! HE IS OVER THERE!" 3 more guards rushed to the scene after hearing themotion. "" "Bitch." "[Poison Grenade]!" Phantasia threw a ball of poison towards the guards that ended up exploding, hitting them all and afflicting them with poison status. After poisoning and disarray the guards, Phantasia began firing [Bone Darts] at them, dealing damage to them all, but one of the orc guards used his shield to block off the attacks and charge towards Phantasia. The orc got close and tried to sh Phantasia with the sword and when Phantasia tried to block it, this time it didn''t worked and he got sh right in the chest. (FUCK!?) Phantasia quickly backed away before then realizing something. "." (Wait.) (Dumdo?!) (He is the orc capitan in charge of the city defenses and I have met him few times and even used him to deploy guards in wrong locations during the first gue.) (And I can already see he is extremely pissed off.) (And I didn''t knew he was this strong?! Or did he trained just in case I appeared again. Either way, he is bad news for me.) (Shit. I wasn''t nning on facing the "Boss" yet, he appeared way too soon and randomly!) "Face it. You will die today." C said Dumdo while pointing his sword at Phantasia. The other two guards run towards the guard capitan side. "" "PFFF! HAHAHAHA! Oh, my fuking god!" "?!" "You areughing you mad man?" C said annoyed Dumdo. "Well, yea?" C said Phantasia while holding his head. "I mean, you do realize that me and the chimeras were distraction, right?" "?!" "WHAT KIND OF- " "gue." C said Phantasia, not letting Dumdo finish speaking. "The moment I entered the city, I spayed the guards with the gue." "This ones is bit different than the previous one in terms of how easily It can spread around." "AND YOU IDIOTS WERE CHASING ME AROUND, SPREADING THE FUKING PLAUGE FOR ME!" "." The guards faces went pale, realizing that mad man maybe be saying truth, since they noticed people suffering while not being injured and they had also felt bit unwell themselves. "YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" C shouted Dumdo. "What kind of scum are you?!" "Well, a quite bad one if I had to say to say the least." C said Phantasia. (Just focus on buying time. The chimera I was working for so long will be finished soon.) "But let me ask you this, do you really have time to deal with me?" "I mean, thanks to your people, the gue had infected the entire city." "And let me tell you this, I have some means of surviving, so you will take some time to kill me." "So, what will you do? Try and kill me? Or help out people before they die?" "." "Do you take me for a fool?" C asked the orc. "You went around killing civilians." "If we let you go, you would just go around and kill people again. Do you really think that any of us are dumb enough not to realize that?" "Well, it was worth a try." C said Phantasia. "But hey, at least one thing worked." "?" C the guards looked confused. "Stalling for time." "?!" C the orc looked extremely rmed. "GET HIS ASS THOMAS!" - shouted Phantasia. The guards looked behind them, thinking that there was an enemy, but in the end, there was nobody. The two guards looked confused but the guards capitan realized it was distraction instantly and turned back towards Phantasia, only to see a projectile made out of poison smokeing from him. The [Poison Blow] hit the capitan head and spread around small cloud of poison around him. Meanwhile, Phantasia just run away. (NOPE!) (FUCK THIS SHIT I''M OUT!) C though Phantasia while running away at full speed. (The bone darts maybe weak attack skill, but they can fire non stop and that guy straight up tanked it all and was left unscratched!) (It will take too long to kill him and other guards will get to the scene and gang up on me!) (I wanted to do head on approach but not against the freaking finally boss of all things!) (The n was to stop running, hiding and recovering and then attacking, but that bastard straight up forced me to repeat my n from before!)n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om (Why?!) While Phantasia was running around, he saw the corpse of the civilians, guards and the chimeras lying on the ground. (Oh.Good and bad.) (The chimeras killed some guards, but the chimeras also died.) (However I don''t know how many guards are left and it seems that my side had bigger casualties.) "I see him!" "?!" Phantasia looked behind him and saw the guard capitan chasing him in the distance. "FUCK OFF!" C shouted Phantasia while running away. (Can''t he just piss off?!) (I don''t want to fight him right now!) (As long as I don''t know how many guards are left or how much damaged they suffered, fighting him is straight up unknown suicide.) (Why the hell when I wanted to rush it and end it all before the worst happens, a freaking boss appeared and messed everything up!?) (Seriously! What the fuck!) Chapter 52 – Min City – The start of the real battle. [Chimera construction: Remanning time: 00:00:00:05:12] (Fuck me! I''m so close to finishing making that "Guy"! However, I need 5 more minutes.) (But those bastards is still chasing me!) While Phantasia was running, he was being chased by guard capitan alongside the few guards who had joined in. (Damn!) (I can''t lose this guy or anything like that!) (Should I just give up running away and fight instead?) (But I don''t even know if I''m safe enough!) (What if there is a lot of guards left or this area is straight up swarming with them?) (I will be straight up fucked!) (They also know about my tricks as well!) (This is not good. Not good at all.) (I fuking knew it was paranoid!) (I fuking knew something will bite me in the ass since things were going way too easy for too long!) Suddenly, a spear flew towards Phantasia and hit him right in the back. "!?" (THEY ARE FUKING THROWING SPEARS?!) Phantasia quickly recover and pulled out the spear before running away again, but then he saw another spear being throw at him, making him quickly duck and dodge the spear. (HOLY SHIT THAT MAY HAVE KILLED ME!) The guards continues chasing Phantasia through destroyed streets. "" (Okay. Fuck it.) (There is no way I can escape these bastards this time.) (So, what the hell do I do?!) (Should I lead them somewhere or something?!) (Maybe I should bring them to the sewers?) (It should make sure that nobody would fallow after us and would give me enough time to murder these people.) Phantasia changed his direction and began running towards the nearest sewers entrance located in the city while also trying not to get hit with the spears that were thrown in his direction. (Yes! Yes! Yes!) (Just a little bit-) Phantasia turned around the corner and saw one of the entrances to the sewers inside the city, but then he saw that the entrance was barricaded. "." (THEY FUKING SHUT IT LIKE THIS?! WHY?!) (.) (Oh. Right, I did infected the sewers with the gue.) (Wow, they really are making sure to not repeat the past mistakes.) "." (Fuck my life.) "He went this way!" C shouted the guard capitan who was closing in on the Phantasia from behind. "Screw you!" Phantasia threw daggers at the guard capitan, forcing him to raise his shield and easily block the daggers, however the mad man wasn''t finished and began firing spells at the guard, trying to slow him down, but the orc guard didn''t cared and was continue rushing towards Phantasia. However, while running towards Phantasia, the orc didn''t realized he straight up stepped into the [Poison Trap] and ended up triggering it. After the orc triggered the trap, he became shocked, allowing Phantasia to start running away like the coward. (Shit! What the fuck do I do now?!) C though Phantasia while running away. (A perfect location that could help me kill those fuckers ended up being sealed away!) (And probably the other entrances are sealed away!) (Now what the hell do I do?!) Phantasia looked behind him and saw the guard capitan running. "FOR FUCK SAKE! STAY DOWN!" C shouted Phantasia at the guard capitan. (He got hit with many different poisons skills and should be under their effects, including the gue, so...) (Wait.) Phantasia stopped running and began firing at guard capitan that once again was using his shield to block the attacks while also getting closer to Phantasia. Beside the guard capitan, the other 5 guards arrived at the scene and began running towards Phantasia. However, this time Phantasia wasn''t running away yet and continue firing his spells at the enemies, slowing them down, but before long the group of the enemies was getting really close and that was the thing that Phantasia was aiming for.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "[gue Mania]." The green smoke manifested from the Phantasia body, manifesting a skull before disappearing, but not before having Phantasia eyes began glowing green. [[gue Mania] level 2 has been activated.] [Current range: 14 meters.] [The enemies within the range will take bonus 6% damage over time.] (?!) (What did he did?!) C though the guard, noticing the skill activation and the Phantasia glowing eyes. "" "Eat my ass!" C said Phantasia while flipping off the guard capitan before starting to run away again. "!" "HEY!" C shouted the guard capitan. "Stop fuking running away!" "Nope! Fuck you and mother as well as father!" C replied Phantasia while throwing [Poison Ball] at the orc, only to have the orc to tank the ball with his shield and then look at Phantasia extremely pissed off. Yet again, the chase continues. (Good.) (Try to get close as possible to me for max pain!) C though Phantasia. (This skill: [gue Mania] only increase the damage over time from poisons and stuff, including the gues.) (However, this skill is only level 2, meaning that damage increase is only 6%) (Still, that guy was just charging at me without even dodging just so he can get closer to my ass.) (However, the poison mage specialty is damage over time, meaning that guy is under effect of several poison effects since he was taking hits head on.) (There is also the gue that he is infected with.) (In short, this guy is taking damage, but he doesn''t care.) (I need to wore him down and thennd a finishing blow.) (But these other bastards will get in the way.) "[Sticky Goo]!" Phantasia fired a goo attack at the guards this time and not the guard capitan, hitting them and slowing them down. However, this allowed the capitan to quickly rush towards Phantasia and instantly close the distance. (. Wait what?) C though Phantasia. The guard swinged its sword from above, forcing Phantasia to cross his arms above his head to block the attack. Phantasia blocked the attack, but he could fell the attack, but it wasn''t the end. Instantly, the guard capitanunched a fallow up attack with his shield, straight up stabbing Phantasia with it, dealing blunt damage like some sort of hammer. Phantasia was visible hurt and he tried to back away, but the furious orc quickly kicked him in the stomach the moment he tried to something like this. The Phantasia bnce was broken and the orc capitan tried to go for the head with his sword, but Phantasia unleashed the skill [Acid Ball] at the orc, forcing him to block with his shield and forcing him to stop his attack, allowing Phantasia to quickly back away. (Fuck.) (He probably used some sort of skill to close the distance.) (Still, those hits of his took a lot of HP.) The guard capitan tried approaching Phantasia, but then he suddenly stopped and grabbed his chest in pain. "" C Phantasia observed the situation while also creating distance between himself and the orc. (It seems he now took some real damage.) (The poison seem to be doing its work.) (But that bastard still seem to be full of energy.) (.) (I can guess without even checking that all of my chimeras are dead.) (BUT I ALSO HAVE GOOD NEWS!) (With all that running around we did, there should have been a huge group of guards chasing me already, right?) (Then what the hell is this? I only see 2 more new guards and that''s it!) (There is no mistaking it! This ce is the location I was aiming for!) (Still, the chimeras in this area seems to have been dealt with, so I won''t get any help from them.) (But that doesn''t matter!) (Right now, I''m in location where there are very few or maybe no guards.) (However I don''t know for how long yet until maybe a huge group of guards appear, so I shouldn''t let my guard down yet.) (These guards are both injured and poisoned from my poison attacks and gue. That includes the big boss there who realized his state of his current body.) (This maybe the only chance to kill them! Including the boss!) "You know what? Fuck it." C said Phantasia while not even trying to run away. "No more running away." "No more fuking cat and mouse game." "We are going to kill you right now, right here!" C said Phantasia while getting ready forbat. "Huh! A coward like you wants to fight now?" C said the orc guard that was also getting ready while the remaining guards had catched up to the orc guard. "Do you." "Hm?" (Wait. Why did he said "We"?) C though the orc capitan, not knowing if the mad man was ying tricks again or not. However, the orc guard would soon realize that this time Phantasia didn''t lied about not being alone. [Chimera construction: Remanning time: 00:00:00:00:00] [Chimaera creation slot [1] has been finished.] (FINALY!) "SHOW YOURSELF!" C shouted Phantasia. "Mianrool!" Phantasia suddenly began summoning the creature that ended up putting the guards on the high alert, but when the creature was summoned, they saw a creature they never seen before in their life. The creature was giaganting monster with white fur. The monster legs resembles that of the rabbit, but were way bigger, more muscr and even more savage looking as if they were straight up weapons. The monster torso was giaganting andpletely covered in white fur as well as red fur markings across its chest and back. The monster arms were extremely muscr and were also covered in white fur and red markings. Hands of the monsters were quite big and its ws were long and shaped like the hooks. The neck was extremely thick and muscr, but its head was the thing that really stood out. Head of the creature had giaganting jaws with many de like teethes that resembles daggers. The monster had also a pair of giant long ears sticking out from its head that resembles bunny ears. As for the monsters eyes? There was over 8 eyes in total with 3 pairs of the crimson red eyes and one pair of the giant ck eyes. And there was a giant nose that resembles that of a rabbit and a bear. The monster bizarre appearance was apanied with its ginormous size, easily towering over the orc guard capitan while standing on its two feets. The guards backed away in fear after witnessing the unknown monster making its appearance on the battlefield. Even the orc capitan was wary of the creature and backed off just in case he needed to protect his men. "Well then." C said Phantasia. "Shall we start the "Real Fight" now?" Chapter 53 – Min City – The start of the real battle – Part 2. The guards looked both nervously and visible scared at the appearance of the weird and unknown giant monster. "" (What the hell is this thing?) C though Dumdo while keeping his guard. (The other monsters that invaded this ce looked like a mix of different monsters or people.) (Some of these monsters appearance was like well better blend of some creatures, but this thing?) (Just what the hell is this?!) (I may not know what the hell those things are, but I can clearly say that thing is way different than them!) (No wait.) (Why didn''t he bringed it out before?) "" [Chimera: Mianrool has been registered.] (Good. Now I won''t lose him if he dies.) C though Phantasia. "Well then Mianrool. Show me what you got." "Aim at the people that are behind that person." C said Phantasia that was pointing at the guard capitan. "!" The guards heard what Phantasia said and quickly raised his shield knowing that his subordinates will be attacked, but he wasn''t the only one who took action. The giant monster squadded and put on its ws on the ground in front of it before thenunching itself like a spring at the guards. Before the guard capitan realize, the monster flew right past it and the guard who was right in front of the beast couldn''t even react properly since the monster speed was too much, catching the guard off guard. However, when he did reacted it was toote. The monster ws sinked into the man chest before getting lifted by the monster. The other guards as well as the guard capitan stared in shock and disbelief as the monsters somehow got past the capitan and instantly sinked its ws into the young dark elf flesh. The monster retracted its ws from the dark elf flesh and made the man body fall on the ground. The monsters turned towards the rest of the soldiers and straight up rushed at the nearest one, smacking him with its giant ws, shing the guard across the body even though he tired to use his sword to block the attack. "!" C the guard capitan got himself together and tried rushing towards the guards that were being attacked by the chimera. However, the guard capitan action ended up showing his back to Phantasia and he did not wasted even a second tounch [Acid Ball] at the guard capitan Dumdo back. The ball of acid hit the Dumdo in the back, hitting him and dealing damage. "Sorry buddy." C said Phantasia. "But as long I''m here, you will fight me, whenever you like it or not." "Mothefucker!" C said the guard capitan while turning back to Phantasia. "." (Holy fuking shit.) C though Phantasia. (I mean, this is the best creation I made yet using the best materials I had as well as my hard earn research, but holy shit! How fast it was!? Not only that, it instantly killed the guard!) The chimera that I made is a fruit of my hardbor and research. After creating many different chimeras as well as experimenting a lot, I learned how to make chimeras the way I want to. So, what I should make for the perfect chimaera. Let''s call it chimera type: Alpha. This big guy has been made using my 4 different monsters who were my dearpanions. f the bear. And 3 rabbits: Michel, Andy, Rndo. They were the most powerful monsters I had, even stronger than chimeras. Not only that, but after leveling a lot, f the Wild Bear ended up evolving into the Frenzy Bear. He grew in size and became even bigger bastard than before. He could take way more hits and even smash or bite monsters to bits. So, I had 4 powerful monsters that were way stronger than my chimeras. So, what did I did? I killed them. I used their corpse and fused them into a one being. Just designing that bastard took a lot of efforts and I had also change some things or use different parts from some other monsters. After the designing was done, the next part was creation and oh boy, it both took a lot of MP as well as time to finish. It wasn''t hours, it was days. Yea, a lot of time. (.) (Wow. I wonder if he can kill all the guards there?) C though Phantasia. The orc capitan rushed at Phantasia and tried to attack him in order to quickly kill the mad man and help out the guards, but Phantasia was backing away while firing his [Poison Shot(s)] and [Bone Shot(s)] at the guard capitan, trying to keep him at bay and not letting him do anything. But while all of that was happening, the guards behind were gettingpletely ughtered. The guards were not able to hit the fast moving chimera or when they did, their des could not prate or leave even the mark on the monster tough hide. Crushing, biting, shing. The guards were getting killed too fast to the point they were getting wiped out. The guard capitan realized that the guards did not stood a chance against bear rabbit chimera and wasn''t sure what to do. Go after the mad man? Or go after the monster? However, the mad man wasn''t the only one who was surprised with the situation. (What the actual fuck?!) C though Phantasia while observing his creation murdering the guards without any problem. (This bastard is everything I wanted it to be, but this was not something I was expecting!) (Agility and strength.) (Tough hide that cannot be easily pierced.) (Deadly ws and teethes.) (And all other stuff.) (This guy is way perfect than I thought!) (NO!) (He is way more than I expected!) (He is beyond anything I had expected or tried to make that thing be!?) (Did I ended up creating a boss monster or something?) (I mean, I did expected him to be extremely strong considering that I used 4 monsters I raised personally and all, but holy shit!) (This is way more than I expected in many different ways! I don''t even know how much strong this bastard is?!) The guard capitan continues trying to kill Phantasia, trying to desperately kill him with his shield and sword. Phantasia tried his best to keep distance or dodge or parry, but he was taking hit from the veteran warrior left and right. The desperation of the situation gave the orc capitan strength, allowing him to push Phantasia. The orc capitan saw the perfect chance to finish off the mad man, but his desperation had also blinded him. In thest second, he heard something loud behind him and as soon as he looked back, he ended up head butted right in the back, straight up damaging his spine and ended up making him fly a bit before falling on the ground. "?!" C the orc capitan was extremely shocked and was panicking, but quickly got up. However as soon as the orc capitan got up, he saw all of the guards who were fighting the rabbit dead on the ground. Every single person was dead. "." (IT KILLED THEM ALL ALREADY?!) C though shocked Phantasia and Dumdo. (Yeb. This guy is straight up boss monster.) C though Phantasia. (Still, I''m notining.) (Holding back the boss monster while being mage isn''t the greatest idea.) "Anyway, how about you die?" C asked Phantasia. "You are the only one left and I don''t think you can win against us." Phantasia extend his hand, but not aiming at the guard capitan this time but the corpse of the guards. The guard capitan realize that the mad man was nning something and tried to rush at him. "Kill him. Show no mercy." C said Phantasia,manding his chimera to don''t hold back. The giant rabbit bear monster rushed at the orc capitan and straight up punched him in his shield. The orc capitan blocked the attack, but he could the feel impact. The giant monster raised its arm high into the air before then swinging it at the guard capitan who used his shield again to block the attack, but feeling the impact and damage through his entire body. (D-damned!) C though the panicking Dumdo. (What the hell is this thing?!) Dumdo tried to counter attack and swinging his sword andnding a proper hit on the monster. ". What?" But unfortunately, the monster hide and fur were too tough to him to let his de sink into the monster flesh deeply. The monster swinged its arm again, trying to swipe the orc, but he this time quickly backed away, dodging the monster attack perfectly. The guard capitan of the city Dumdo was extremely tired and was even badly damaged and to add even more problems, the gue and the poisons were still destroying his body from inside. However, Dumdo soon came realize the despair when he looked in front of him. Dumdo saw Phantasia, but not alone. The guards who were killed by the rabbit were turned into skeletons and zombies. The situation turned from bad to worse. Dumdo realized that not only he had to deal with the chimera, but also the mad man as well as hisrades who were turned into undeads. The hunter ended up bing the prey. "Well then, you almost killed me and stopped this entire situation, but unfortunately you failed." C said Phantasia. "There isn''t always a hero and a happy ending." "And just so you know, this entire city will soon share your fate." "." "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" C shouted Dumdo while charging straight up towards Phantasia in a move of desperation and madness. However, the man charge didn''tsted long since the rabbit charged at him and shoulder bashed him, stopping the orc charge and sending him flying. The orc stabbed the ground with his sword, stopping himself from flying far away. But when he tried to get up, he ended up instead getting on his knee. The effect of the poisons and the gue was harming the guard body even more. However, it wasn''t the end since before he could even get up, he felt something straight up stabbing him in the back. It was a zombie dark elf wielding the spear who stabbed the orc. The orc captain gathered his strength and bashed the undead with his shield, sending him flying. The orc captain tried to quickly get up, but as soon as he did got up, Phantasia fired the poison magic at him, punishing the guard and infecting him with poison again. When the guard tried to attack or anything like that, the rabbit bear came and hit him. When he tried to gain distance, the undead attacked him from behind. When he tried to attack undeads, Phantasia just attacked him from distance. Dumdo was trapped. No matter what action he took, he was one suffering in the end. It was no longer a fight but one sided beat down. Dumdo couldn''t even get closer to Phantasia no matter how desperately he was or what reckless actions he took. Dumdo armor and weapons were damaged and he himself was coughing out blood nonstop. Dumdo tried to walk, but his legs were badly damaged to the point he could barely even more. However, Phantasia didn''t cared. "Finish him off Mianrool." C said Phantasia. The orc guard looked behind him while shaking in fear and saw the rabbit bear monster lifting its foot before then stomping on the man back and smashing him against the floor and sshing his blood everywhere. The guard was straight up puking out his blood. He tried to extend his hand, trying to reach Phantasia who was right in front of him, but in the end his hand fallen on the ground. The twitching body of the orc had stopped moving. The guard capitan of the Min city Dumdo is dead. [Level up!} "Motherfucker." C said Phantasia while standing right in front of Dumdo body. "How many fuking hits did he took?!" "He was poisoned, stabbed and crushed over and over again."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "And after all that, he still lived that long?" "." "Still, it''s not that bad." (His corpse will make a fine chimera!) Chapter 54 – Min city -? [Mayor mansion.] "Dammit it all!" C said the mayor. "I knew they would attack us again!" "What is the current status?" "It''splicated sir." C said the goblin guard. "Most of those weird abomination had been dealt with if not all of them. But we have yet to receive the news about the culprit getting captured or killed." "Not only that. There was a lot of civilian casualties and there is one more problem." "People are getting sick for some reason, even the people who we beginned into the mansion for their safety started acting sick." "Master." "I fear the worse but the gue maybe in the y." "?!" "But how?! Even if it was the gue, it shouldn''t spread so fast around!" C said the shocked lord. "P-please calm down." C said the goblin guard. "The gue itself doesn''t seem strong or anything. Our healers ended up easily getting rid of it and healing the civilians from it." "The gue is not strong at all, so it''s not a real threat to us or the civilians out there." "However, the enemy maybe be using this weird new gue that is extremely weak but can easily spread to spread chaos around like they did before with their previous gue." "They are aiming to reopen our old wounds." C said the mayor. (They didn''t use gue that will kill people but instead the gue that will trigger past trauma and spread panic around.) C though the mayor. (This isn''t good.) (The monsters and the mad man were distractions?) (Or maybe the gue is a distraction?) (Dammit! I don''t know!) (ording to the intel we had in the past, this mysteries organization are using those "gue doctor" masks and were the ones responsible for the gue and had one of their agents destroy the hospital, garrison and even kill my father.) (However, after their first attack, they never showed themselves back, WHY?!) (And why they are reappearing now?!) {{The reason was because Phantasia had no way of destroying the city with how things were in the past and he would get fucked and there was also the fact that he didn''t had ability to create chimeras back then.}} (Not only that, but the individual that attacked us seem to be way stronger than the guy from before.) {{Nope. That is the same person.}} "Tch." "If by any chance those people are straight up chaos, there is a good chance that they would go after me like OR that person would go after the citizens." (What do I do?) (Is he aiming for me? Or for the people?) (The aim of attacking people may have been distraction to make my guards go away and focus on the terror in order to get to me.) (However if I die, people will enter panic mode and if that happens, the chaos will take over.) (Shit.) (Either one of the options could be-) "SIR!" C shouted the orc guard who suddenly burseted into the room. "Somebody is trying to break through the mansion main gate!" "!" "Is it the man that attacked the city or one of its monsters!?" C asked the mayor. "Y-yes! But he isn''t alone!" C said the orc. "There are also undeads and some sort of weird white fur bunny eared thing!" "They are attacking- " Suddenly, the group heard some sort of loud banging from outside. "What was that?!" C said the confused goblin guard. The orc run outside of the room and run towards the window located on the second floor and saw the intruder had killed the guards outside the mansion gate and had entered the mansion territory. "Shit!" C said the orc while running back to the room. "Young master you need to run away!" "The enemy had broken the gate and had entered the mansion grounds!" "!" "What?!" C said mayor. "Shit! Didn''t you said moments ago that they were IN FRONT of the gate?!" C said the goblin guard. "THEY WERE!" C shouted the orc. "What the hell?!" C said the goblin. "Young master! You need to get the fuck out of here! There is no mistaking it. That person is after you!" "You! Buttler! Get the young master to safety!" C said the gobbling guard before running off with the orc guard to confront the enemy. "Young master. This way!" C said the butler. The butler alongside the mayor began running through the mansion while the sound of battle and screams could be hearding from the front entrance of the mansion. The butler took the mayor through the back entrance that was well hidden from public eyes. The duo left the mansion grounds and began running away in order to stay as far as possible from the danger. But while that was happening, the guards who were left in mansion and were supposed to deal with the invaders were still fighting against the intruders and some of the guards were already killed. "Hey." C said Phantasia. "Do you really think you can beat us?" C said Phantasia while leading his undead guards against the mansion guards. (Dammed!) C though the head of the mansion guards. (This guy is bad news.) (He is using poison magi to keep us from advancing and using necromancy attack magic to deal damage from afar.) (He is also using the undead as meat shields for crying out loud.) (And there is that weird-) "?!" (Wait!) (Where is that beast?!) Before the head of the guard mansion could even find the creature, the monster was already behind him. When he realized the monster was behind him, it was toote. The monster bit the man entire head and straight up decapitated him with its de teethes. The man headless corpse fallen on the ground as other guards saw their leader getting killed. The man sudden death filled the guards both with fear and shock, but Phantasia did not showed any mercy and began firing magic projectiles at the guards while the undeads and the chimeras were ripping the guards apart. Fight turned into a ughter. Guards tried their best to survive but more and more guards were dying left and right and before long, the guards had been wiped out. (Damn.) C though Phantasia. (They even upgraded the guards guarding this ce. It straight up took way too much time.) (Oh well, its not like the new mayor or who ever the person in charge of this ce can even escape since the only way out is through the main gate.) (Its time to kill the mothefuking mayor again!) [Few momentster.] "WHERE THE FUCK IS HE?!" C shouted Phantasia after not finding even a single person inside the mansion. "FUCK!" "Did those bastards left the mansion before I even got here?! But how they knew I wasing!?" (Well, I did targeted the mayor in the past and all... Wait.) (If the mansion was empty, then why the hell guards were here?) (Shouldn''t they have escaped with the mayor to provide him with safety?) (That doesn''t make any... Oh...Fuck.) (There is some sort of hidden passage or something that he used to escape and the guards were buying him time. Right?) (.) (Yea. I maybe should have seen thating considering how they made a lot of changes...Okay I give up.) (I mean. Why should I go around and hunt him down?) (Looking for him right now would straight up waste of time.) (I wanted to kill him to spread the chaos, but not killing him won''t change the oue, it will just slow down the destruction of this ce.) (This ce is already fucked either way.)n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om (It will take much longer, but I should destroy this ce.) (The guards had been dealt with and only random remains are left.) (The most powerful enemy had been killed.) (And I also have an new chimera that is straight up boss monster.) (There is also the gue going around and the entire chaos I had spread myself.) (They fucked up.) (If they instead focus all of their forces on dealing with the monsters and me instead of trying to make sure that the civilians are safe, the people wouldn''t die and the chaos wouldn''t be taking over.) (.) "Holy shit." "I actually won." (I mean, I started to see the bad ending for myself where I would lose again, but no.) (The only person who could defend this ce is dead and the other person who could control this ce had run away.) (If the second person tries to do anything he will die since he would reveal himself to me.) (True. He is an lose end that will hinder the spread of chaos, but he cannot do anything big.) (The city will be destroyed even if he does something big and escapes.) (If people escape this ce, its over. They won''t be able to go back and will be too scared to even approach this ce.) (I don''t need to kill all people at all. I just need to kill all remaining people inside.) (.) (Wow...Just. Wow...) "." "You lot." "Go around the city and kill anybody you see." C said Phantasia to his undeads. "And you big guy, you areing with me." "Its time finish it once and for all." After not being able to find the mayor, I straight up gave up on finding the mayor and instead focused on finishing off the city. The remaining people inside the city were easily hunted down. There were few guards here and there that were still trying to resist, but unfortunately for them, they were easily killed and then turned into undead themselves. There were still some idiots yers there that thinked that it was some sort of event and oh boy, they got killed so easily to the point they were panicking. I mean its not my fault that you didn''t run away. The people were getting killed left and right. Some tried to run. Some tried to hide. But in the end, all of them died. It was a long hunt thatsted hours, but I found more and more people that were hiding in the city. Honestly, it took so long to the point I was able to make few new chimeras. They were rushed and all, so they are like two bodies stitched together, but oh well, they were doing the job. I was destroying everything. Buildings and peoples. Honestly, I was extremely tired, but I said fuck it. This ce will be destroyed just like I swore it. Hours went by and the results. I did it. The Min city is no more. I had sessfully destroyed the entire Min city. "FUCK YEA!" Chapter 55 – The start of the real evil. "" "." "Huh..." C said Phantasia while being in the middle of thepletely abandoned and destroyed city. "I though they would tryst line defense or something, but nope. They just died like that."

But maybe I shouldn''t have nefed the gue damage that much and would have gotten some extra kills...Damn.) (Most of the people from the city survived in the end.) (Oh well.) (Still, there were few idiots who tried to go back into the city only to get killed, both NPCs and yers alike. They probably tried to steal some things while the city was in shitty state or maybe they tried to recover some of their valuable stuff. Some of the guys I did killed had appearance of the merchants.) (Well, it really doesn''t matter if I kill them all, but it would have been nice since I would get a huge upgrade and all.) (I did killed a lot of people that were in the hunting grounds, since I wanted to make sure that nobody would blow up my or my chimeras cover, but it''s not like I hunted newbies on every single hunting grounds. I only hunted the ones in the specific area of the forest.) (Still, I may not have killed every single person there or even 50%, BUT the object had beenpleted. The destruction of the starting location.) (The goal wasn''t to kill people, it was just extra.) "In the end, I FUKING WON! FUCK YOU ALL!" C shouted Phantasia. ". Wow..." "." "Anyway. I got extremely strong like hell." "This kind of growth in strength from titles alone is abnormal." (I mean, I spend in game months and barely gotten any new titles or any big ranks up when I was ying normally.) (So yea, this kind of power up is straight up huge.)

(I honestly don''t know what the hell is this.) (Does that mean if I take it over, the territory will belong to me?) (The developers did stated that you can create your own kingdom in this game.) (So you can create your own kingdom with your own two hands.) (Or just steal stuff that belongs to the other kingdoms.) (.) "Nah." (I''m not taking over this ce.) (I mean, I don''t have an army of anything like that to protect this ce.) (Nor I''m strong enough to protect this ce alone.) (I will just rob everything and then get the hell out.) This ce didn''t had any extremely good items or anything like that Well, no surprise there really since this is a first starting location and all so why would it have something like the "legendary sword of the evil overlord of heaven and earth that eats human soul" thing? Still, I found a lot of money from the merchant corpse, stores as well as the mayor mansion. Besides that, I didn''t really found anything good. But I got to say, I wasn''t expecting to find that much money! How the hell did they did that? Was it because a lot of newbies yers were here nonstop? Or maybe the mayor took out a loan or something? Well, those huge upgrades that the city had after I came back were definitely not made out of thin air. Not only the mayor, but also shops and merchants had a lot of money, more than they should have from doing business in this area. Yea That definitely has to do with the fact that there were shit ton of yers here nonstop. Well, all of that money is now mine! After taking anything valuable, I just run away. Left the half assed chimeras I made before from guards corpse. They would only slow me down and everything and honestly, they are not good. But the big guy ising with me, he is my treasure right now. I left the city and murdered few people along the way just to make sure nobody was tailing me. I though maybe about using my hideout, then waiting a bit before then attacking the city again and murdering any people wondering around the ruins, but that would be straight up repeat, since they would escape again. There is also a problem. From the people I tortured, mainly merchant and some random nobles. They had told me about the current lord who control this territory and let''s just say. I destroyed 1 vige, 1 town and 1 city that belonged to him. Yea. He won''t be happy at all. He had also made his troops stronger in case the terrorist would appear again after the incident with the Min city in the past. So, yea I''M GETTING THE HELL OUT OF HERE! They will murder me on the spot. So, I ran away as far as I could before then logging off after finding a safe spot. Time went by and yeb. The chaos erupted on the inte. "Wow" C said the man while looking at hisputer monitor. [The "Doctor" has reemerged.] [The destruction of the Min city.] [The beginner city has been destroyed.] [Who is Doctor?] [The reason behind destruction of Min.] (Yea. There is a LOT of articles online about what happened.) (I did went around also an introduced myself as the "Doctor" while killing the yers since I wanted to make that my solid nickname.) (There is also the fact that people realized that the gue was attacking the city yet again when I reappeared, making people realize that the "Doctor" from before is the same "Doctor" that attacked the city this time.) (Well, it was worth it Just look at thements.) C though Phantasia while scrolling through themends left on the post regarding the "Doctor". "More and more >:)" "A lot of hate and other stuff." "Some people are dering me a biggest asshole in the game while other people dere that they will hunt down the "Doctor"." "Some other people are calling me a troll while others call me mad man... THIS IS INTERESTING!" "I guess I had be a proper viin in the eyes of people." "Both the yers and the NPCs." (BUT WHY STOP THERE?!) (I don''t want to be some sort of one episode viin but a viin that will be the straight up menace to all of these motherfuckers!) (I want to see more people suffer and see that there is no hope!) (I will spread the chaos and evil around just for fun.) (I''m also curios more and more about the possibilities that the chimeras and the gue can do?!) (And there is a lot of perfect test subjects just everywhere.) (Monsters. NPCs. yers.) (They all will be useful to me!) "." "This is a nice start... I wonder about one thing though." C said the man while smiling. "Will there be any protagonists wanabesing after my head?" "Will people hunt me down?" "Will there be bounties after my head?" "Will they kill me and be called heroes?" "Or will they fail and be called disappointment?" "." "Ha." "Hahahhahah. ha...hahah." C the manugher while pping his hands. "This is really and I mean REALLY interesting!" "Who knew ying the bad guy could be such satisfying!?" (Not a hero.) (Not an anty hero.) (Not some hero of justice.) (Just a in viin.) (A bastard and scumbag.) (AND ITS FUKING FUN!) "." "This is fucked up. But I like it!" (AND THE FUNNY THING IS THAT I ONLY STARTED!) (Maybe I should to be the final boss of this game or something?) (That would have been interesting idea!) (But for now, lets give those people bit of peace.) (However afterwords?) (I will bring the chaos to all of these motherfuckers!) (There will be no fun for them, only despair!) "Oh. The future will be quite colorful picture." "But colors should I use myself?" (gue? Chimeras?) (Or maybe I should try to make another nasty stuff with my ss?) (Who cares?!) (There will be chaos in the end in many different form and shapes and the painting itself called future will be quiet masterpiece!) "I''m looking forward to it all." C said the man while smiling like a devil. "And I will enjoy every single moment of it!" The chaos. The evil. The destruction. What happened to the Min city wasn''t the "End", but instead a starting line. The real story of the Phantasia the "Doctor" will start now. And with it, the chaos and evil will fallow along the mad man in his tracks. This is only the beginning of his evil. And the question is right now: Will he be in as the viin and the world will be saved? Or will he show the world that good doesn''t always wins? The mad man dose not hold the answer himself. He doesn''t even know if he will uncover the answer himself or not. But one thing is for certain. The start had already happened. And his chaos had only just began. {{End of volume 1.}} Chapter 56 – Third research. A lot of time had passed after the incident with the Min city. The city is even now still destroyed. And not only that, but you cannot target that ce as a starting location anymore. Well, you can still target the area as your starting location, but this time you will start from some random town that I don''t even care about. Some people trieding back to the Min city, since that ce had perfect hunting grounds and all, but because of the fact that ce was not in the state where it can even remotely operate made it impossible for any yers to survive there. From the news I have gotten, the "Doctor" had be a wanted criminal in the territory ruled by the lord who owned the Min city. There are wanted posters not only in his territory, but also in the neighboring territories. Many people are eager to hunt me down. Not only for the reward but also as revenge since I killed a LOT of people. Still, they hate fueled me even more. As for me? I just run the hell away and retreated back to the danger city. I used all the chimeras and the gues I had prepared beforehand and there is also the fact that the lord of the territory would send their army there. Yea. He would like to have my head on the pike so I''m out of there! Still, the losses of the chimeras and the gues wasn''t all that bad. I had obtained a lot of humanoid corpse of pretty strong guards, especially the head of the Min city guards Dumdo. Oh, I will create a lot of nasty chimeras once I secure good amount of interesting corpse. But for now? I just stayed quiet and just yed normally. Beside my and the Min situation, it seems (Well, that was the n.) C though Phantasia while ying the game at the moment and hunting down a giant wolf. [You have in the boss monster: Horn Wolf Giant C Level 167] Phantasia looked around, making sure that nobody was around before then taking the entire corpse of the boss monster. (Nice!) (.) (But also fuck me in the ass) (I''m. Weak?) (I mean. It''splicated.) After killing the boss monster, Phantasia began walking away from the scene, trying to find a safe spot where he can sit down. "." (Chimeras and the gue Both are extremely good and everything. But the problem is me.) (To produce a lot gue, I need the [Mana] stat.) (To even start the production and from start to finish of the chimera making process I also need a lot of [Mana].) (However, I also need a lot of [Taming Mastery] and [Necromancy Mastery] in order to control chimeras.) (But me? Oh boy I was getting my shit beaten out of by Dumdo.) (He was one sidedly beating me up as soon as I got in his range.) (I may not had closebat type ss back then, but I had an solid equipment in case of me bearing forced to closebat.) (But still, I was getting my shit beaten out of.) (Honestly, in hisst rush back then he almost depleted all of my HP and the rabbit saved me in thest moment.) (But I need to do something about myself.) (The gues and the chimeras are extremely good.) (But I need my own strength.) (Fortunately, this thing is ready.) [The second research: [Chimera] isplete.] [You can start the third research.] [ss rarity changed from [Umon] to [Rare].] [You are now able to select the fallowing.] [3 sses C Rarity: 1 umon and 2mons or 4mons] [2 words.] (This is nice!) (I invested every single point I have gotten but it was worth it!) (Not only that, I can finally select umon rarity ss! Well only 1, but still worth it.) (There is also the fact that I have 2 words now and this is huge.) (.) (But what the hell I should make?) (I know I cannot use the power of the [Chaos Doctor] publicly, since it would 100% expose me and all, but I need to need something when I go around on rampage.) (The [gue] and [Chimera] research are not bound by an upper limit and the only limit are the materials I have at hand.) (However, if I make a ss that is about thebat and not evolution and wouldn''t use a production sses, it will definitely have its own limit. Fuck me.) (There is also the fact that I can now use 1 umon rarity ss.) [Necromancer] -> [Advance Necromancer] C [Umon] [Tamer] - > [Monster Tamer] C [Umon] [Poison Mage] - > [Advance Poison Mage] C [Umon] [Alchemist] -> [High Alchemist] C [Umon] [cksmith] -> [High cksmith] C [Umon] [cksmith] + [Alchemist] -> [Alchemist cksmith] C [Umon] (Those are my all sses.) (I have a total of 7 umon sses.) (But can I use them for the research? AND do I need to get 1 more ss?) (There is a problem though if I would need to get extra ss.) (Those new sses have bigger overall cost, meaning that I would need to spend a lot of ss points to max them out, a bit more than themon sses, but noticeable .) (So, if I would like to new ss, I would need to be careful, since I would need to slow down the growth of my all other sses.) (But if I take 2? Then it would be even bigger slow.) (So I need to think this through many times over before I even make any decision.) (What if I pick a ss, but would only like its nature but not the ss itself? That would suck and maybe I would straight up screw up if it turns out I could have used a different ss that would have been way better fit and would benefit me more than the other ss.) (However, there is also the fact that my new sses are. Good.) (I didn''t leveled them a lot or anything like that, but I could tell that each one of them had their own usefulness.)n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om (So picking any of those new sses could give me a huge benefit, since I would be using those sses anyway.) (And now I''m confused a living hell out of since I don''t know what to pick.) (.) (But how the hell do I use them to make myself stronger?) (Should I take the [Advance Poison Mage] and [Poison Mage] to... Nah. Its not what I''m looking for.) (Or maybe. No.) "." "Hm..." (I can think of somebos using the sses I have. But they are not exactly what I''m looking for...) "" "Fuck it." [Do you wish to log off?] "Yea." [yer [Phantasia] had logged off.] "." Then man got out of the capsule and instantly walked towards hisputer before turning it on. After theputer was activated, the man instantly opened his browser and began reading articles about sses in the game. (With my current sses... It won''t work.) (I just can''t see a properbo or to be more precisely, abo I''m looking for.) (I really and I mean REALLY want to get abo that will have an ability to grow infinitely like the [gue] or [Chimera].) (But I also need to improve my own strength.) (So. Let''s see what is written online about sses out there.) (Considering how many yers are ying this game, there is not even a single ss that isn''t used.) (I even noticed a lot of yers using already umon rarity sses if they focused on raising one specific ss.) (So, I can maybe find some nicebos... Holy shit there is a lot written here.) "." "Yea. I should grab take a lot of notes." I stayed on theputer for quiet long. I honestly don''t know how long I stayed on theputer while doing this. I was putting pieces of the different informations I have gotten from the inte and... "FUCK!" (There is way too many possiblebinations!) (There is way too many things I can chose!) (Not only that, how the hell do I make abination that can grow in strength as times go by?! There are countless possibilities, but I can''t take the first random one, I need a proper one that will fit me 100%) (But...Fuck me. I don''t know what to pick!) (I mean, I can think of some sses, for example abo of the production sses that could help me produce way better equipment or for examplebo that could allow me to more monsters.) (But I don''t want equipment! I want something that will make me stronger!) (This ss special ability to create own ss is extremely broken and I don''t want to waste it at any cost!) (Fuck...) (...) "." "Okay. Let''s go over it again." (My current main weapons are [ge] and [Chimeras].) (Both are good and deadly, but what about me?) (I''m squishy and easy target.) (Still, I became way stronger after destroying the city.) (I''ve even upgraded my stats I use not that much like.) (Still, sooner orter I will run into somebody like that orc again and would get my shit beaten out of me again.) (And I may not get so lucky next time and just die on spot.) (The third research ss should be all about making MYSELF stronger and if necessary, I need to learn few new sses.) (I need to create an ss that would make me way harder to kill, in order words [Survivalist] or an ability to kill enemies much easier.) (However, can I somehow create ss that posse both of these concepts?) () (No.) (I need a ss to possess 3 things.) (The best way to utilize the [Chaos Researcher] is to create a ss with poetical of evolving or no upper limits like the [Chimera] or [gue] that instead have limit of materials I have at hand.) (An ability to grow an isn''t bound by level and won''t get forgotten over time or an ability that will be often used even after I became much stronger.) "There is also the annoying part of not knowing how many research I can make. So, I cannot waste even a single ss I made." "." "Wow. Designing ss is way harder than I thought if you have too much freedom." "." "A ss that can evolve or be used even after bing much stronger and possess either deadliest or survivability if not both aspects." "Maybe I''ve written something that could at least give me a hint." (I already written the hell of possiblebos, but not every single one of them.) (I mostly written the nature of each ss as well as its main characteristic before then starting to makebinations... And there is a lot ofbinations.) (Honestly, I had written already lot of nice and interestingbos... They are quite good in theory, but they don''t fit the current me, meaning that they would be a waste to make them.) (So, should I give up? Should I give up on making the ss that would make me stronger and instead focus on the sses that would. Like the regr sses like warrior, mage, rouge and stuff. The stuff you have instant ess to as long as you have ss points.) C though Phantasia while scrolling down the known sses in the game that were written down on the website. (Or maybe I should the item upgrading ss idea instead?) (Fuck me This is even worse when I was thinking what to make for my second man made ss...There is now even more possiblebinations and I can have even more freedom.) (I mean, the better freedom is better and all, but still. TOO MANY OPTIONS!) "." "The chimera and the ges Both had used the [Alchemist] ss in order to gain some sort of freedom... Can I somehow use either [cksmith] or [Alchemist] to gain that kind of freedom when ites to improving my own abilities?" "For example .!" (REAPLCE MY BODY PARTS!) (I can rece my body parts with stronger body parts, making myself stronger in a unique way!) (It could cover up for both deadlines and survivability if I can maybe my body way stronger!) (But how would I do it?) (Like a chimera? For example, detach my arm for a different one?) (Oh, I can see it working in a way with an ability take monster ability and make it my own by for example taking their main body part and maybe recing my current body part or fusing it together just like I did with rabbits and the bear.) (But what sses would work?) (I would definitely need alchemist. The problem is with other sses.) (As well as words.) (Words: Body, chimera, modification, change, transform, user or rece may do the trick. But without proper sses that can do the trick it won''t work.) ([Necromancer] and [Tamer] seem like the perfect fit like when I used them for chimera. But it won''t work.) (I cannot pick ss that would give a wrong nature.) (The [Tamer] is out of the picture. But the [Necromancer]? It stays.) (I can use the aspect of using bodies in order to harvest body parts and use them to enchant myself.) (That idea worked with chimera and it should work again. But then the third ss... What the hell do I use?) (.!) "Oh. That was kind of simple answer." "Druid." C said the man before starting to look on the interested regarding the druid ss. "." "Bingo." [Druid] -> [Nature Druid] / [Beast Druid] [Druid ss possess three different nature after reaching max level.] [The first is a nature druid that focus on using the power of the nature. Simply put it something like a support offensive ss typebo.] [The second ss is the beast druid that allows you to transom you into a beast. The beast druid has an interesting logic of beast slots. Simply put, you can chose what beast you will turn into.] (The druids almost in every game have an ability to shapeshift into the animal.) (The base ss doesn''t have form change, but after reaching level 100 you can get druid ss that can do that.) "I could go [Necromancer], [Alchemist] and [Beast Druid] . It should work." [The ability to change forms from the [Beast Druid].] [The ability to use parts of the corpse from [Necromancer].] [The ability to fuse together two abilities above by using [Alchemy] just like I fused corpse together.] "Hm. It should." "And if does works the way I want it to, I would be able to gain abilities of the monsters I used to create myself a new body?" "Hm." (Ability to use an abilities of the monsters I killed sound nice and all. But that is if works the way I think it does.) (Chimeras I made do possess the character sits and the nature of the bodies I used for their creation (However, I''m a different thing.) "" "Hm...!" "Oh. What about cyborg." (They rece their body parts use mechanical parts, right?) ([Alchemist], [cksmith] and [Brawler] would work.) ([Brawler] is a ss that is about turning your body into weapon.) (No daggers or swords. Kicks and punches and stuff.) (Honestly it works perfectly for me, since I do know some real hand to handbat. One of my weapons of choice is also ws, so it works well.) (The [Fighter] ss nature of body is a weapon and armor should affect the research perfectly.) (It should-) "!?" "Wait!" "What about abination of chimera and cyborg?" (That does sound nice!) (.) (Wait. I think it wouldn''t now?) (Cyborgs are about recing body parts with machinery.) (While the chimeras are about recing body parts with different body parts.) (They are not the same thing, but they do the exact same thing in different ways.) (Hm... I think it may have worked. IF! What this is big if.) (If the ss I made was both [Chimera] and [Cyborg].) (If I would make it into to separated sses, I don''t think I would have been able tobine the different creations.) (.) "So what the fuck do I chose?" (Should I turn myself into a chimera?) (Or should I turn myself into cyborg?) (Honestly, I would to turn into both. But the problem is that I don''t know how many times this ss will evolve.) (So this could be my veryst evolution.) (.) (Damn. This is hard.) (Hm...Wait.) "Oh right!" "The equipment made out of monsters or special materials inherit some special abilities or characteristics of the used materials like the rat ws!) (It could work It could just imitate, but if Ibine the imitation and upgrade it using crafting skills. Yea it is possible!) (Hm There is also the fact that if I chose to go with chimera transformation, I would probably have to use even more corpses. I think it would be better if I only would use corpse for the chimera making.) (On top of that, I didn''t encounter one monster yet that would have been perfect for me to use as part of my body. How long it would take for me to find a monster like that?) (...) "Its way more beneficial to be cyborg no matter how I look at it." "And there would be some problems if I did sticked with bing chimera." "." "Meh. Cyborg it is." "Time to reject my humanity." "I will go with cyborg."

C said Phantasia while in the game. (It seems to be the thing I wanted.) (But there is a problem.) (I cannot rece my body parts in the public workshop.) (I need fuking private workshop. A building I can use alone.) (Fortunately, I had earned a fortune after destroying Min city.) (So, I can afford it for long time.) (Not only that, I''m way stronger than before and I have even tamed new monsters. Well, they don''t know I will turn them into chimeras. But anyway, I have some monsters with me.) (The [Brawler] needs to level up. Speaking of with, how it will work anyway?) (I mean, [Brawler] is about turning your body into weapon, right?) (But what happens if my body IS weapon?) (Like, what if I have a chainsaw arm? Does that still counts as punching?) (This would be quite interesting if it worked. AND QUITE BROKEN!) (Anyway... A lot of yers have gotten to this ce, huh?) C though Phantasia while looking around and seeing a lot of yers on the streets. (Apparently after the Wild town got destroyed, many of the NPCs and the yers traveled to the capital city.) (Many yers are somehow managing, since there some suitable low level hunting grounds there.) (But as for yers from Min city? They are screwed.) (Honestly people are even saying to straight up don''t chose this kingdom as the starting location since the "Doctor" is on the loose.) (By the way, the interesting thing happened.)n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om (There is a quest about me.) C though Phantasia while holding a piece of paper. [Hunt Down The "Doctor" And The Organization.] [A mysteries organization of unknown origin had suddenly appeared one day and attacked city of Min and spread the gue.] [On their first attack, the city suffered many casualties and not only that, but the city survived.] [However, when the second attack happened that was led by "Doctor" who attacked the cityst time had this time destroyed the city.] [The lord of the territory has official posted a request as well as bounty in order to hunt down the criminal and find out about the mysteries organization that the "Doctor" is apparently part of.] [Reward will depend on the information you find and provide to the specific authorities as well as if you capture or kill the "Doctor".] (These mothefucker created a quest that straight up says to hunt me down!) (I didn''t even knew that this could happened!) (I mean they posted a bounty to hunt me down, but not a quest!) (Still, it did gave me some titles.) [Your evil action ended up provoking a lot of people to the point you became person that want to be hunted down by people.] [You have obtained title: Hunted Down] C [C] [+15 ss points.] [You are the first yer to receive a bounty.] [You have obtained title: Wanted] C [D] [+10 ss points.] (Yea. I have even more reasons to let even a single living person to see what titles I have.) (Still, I like the bonus ss points.) (Anyway, I guess its about the time I leave this ce.) (I still don''t know what location I should chose next after this ce. Honestly, it wouldn''t be surprising at all if other people got ahead of me already or something, since I was quite upied with crafting, hunting for specific bodies for chimeras as well as trying to get specific monsters to tame and the whole destroying settlements thing.) (Anyway, I should quickly go to the adventurer guild and find out if they have any good info. This ce was extremely big, so there was always enough space for people to hunt, but the next location may not be like that.) (So its better to move out sooner thanter.) Phantasia headed straight to the adventurer in order to gather information. "So, you want to know the possible next best location after this ce?" C asked the male gobbling worker. "Yes. Specifically, the location with a lot of monsters that can be hunted down and stuff. Beside hunting monsters, I also make potions and equipment." "So are there any locations like this one anywhere?" "Hm..." "Let me see." C said the goblin before taking out and putting a map on the table. "If you want a location like this one. I say there are 3 locations." "The town of Vine Bear. It''s a town that specializes in alcohols, but there are quiet bit of annoying monsters there and could be a well-paying location." "The second would be a city in this kingdom. Its called Dusk and its city that is mostly ruled by dark elves. Its located distance from this ce and traveling alone will take a lot of time, but that ce also have apparently some dangers on its own." "And for the third location would be this ce. Em I don''t remember what that ce was called." "Zebra. Its city called Zebra." C said dark elf worker right next to goblin. "Oh. Thanks." "Anyway, this is Zebra city and its located in the neighboring kingdom called Berior. It''s a kingdom dominated by demi humans." "Elves. Dark elves. Dwarfs. Beast folk." "The majority of the people living there are mostly beast folk including the royalties." "If you want some quick cash, then town or if you want a location to use for longer time, then either of those cities." "Hm..." (So, I can either stay in this kingdom and go to the city of dark elves. Or leave this kingdom and go to the kingdom ruled by beast folk.) (Hm. I''m already a terrorist in this kingdom...) (. Nope. I''m staying.) (Pissing off 2 different kingdoms when I''m still weak is straight up suicide.) "I guess I will go with Dusk." "Anyway, is there any line or like proper transport I can take to get there? It does seem quiet far away?" "Sorry, but no. This ce doesn''t do any big trades with that ce." "You could try going to the capital city and then try to go from there." "Hm." (I need a carriage.) (I have a lot of stuff on me, I have even taken any remaining stuff I had in my hideout before running away as well.) (Before I took only the most important stuff before running away, but this time I took all remaining stuff Well kind of. I obviously left the furnace I made sense and other build in stuff I made sense there was no way of moving it... Huh I kind of thought of moving workshop That would be nice... Too bad I can''t make something right now.) (Anyway, the tools I have gotten from that dead man hideout are not some cheap stuff that I can just leave behind and easily buy in next location. I maybe rich, but there is no reason to spend huge amount of money for no reason, so it''s better for me to just take all of it.) (.) (I need buy a carriage if I want to carry all the stuff and it would also be an good idea to buy a second horse while I''m at it so I can have 2 horse to drag my carriage around.) (I can waste my money on those things since they will benefit me by a lot.) (I can thenter sell the carriage if it won''t be any of use to me and the spare horse can be used for the experiments, so its all good as well.) "Question. If I were have a means of transport, would going from here to there be better option than going first to the capital city and then there?" "Hm I think so. Yea. It should be." "Okay. Thank you." C said Phantasia before taking out few coins and putting them on the table and then leaving the adventurer guild. (Still It will take some time to get there, probably days even if I won''t encounter any problems along the way.) (It will be quiet. Oh wait.) (I still haven''t used those guards corpse and I have managed to obtain some interesting monsters corpse. I could also use the guard capitan corpse and the boss monster body I managed to get recently without getting catched red handed.) (I guess I have something in the end to kill the time.) (And it will be quite interesting.) It honestly took bit of trouble finding a person willing to sell the horse, since thest one I bought horse from had run out of horse to sell. Well, I managed to buy a horse from a merchant, but he wanted to pay me bit more than I should... The annoying part was that he was the only merchant willing to sell the horse right now so I didn''t had much choice. As for caravan it was bit easier than I thought? I mean, I''m notining. Well, it still costed a bit of money though. Huh. Being filthy rich does feel good when you can afford expensive stuff with ease. Anyway, I packed up all the stuff I had stored and just drove off. Honestly, this ce was quite nice. It was perfect ce to obtained a lot of different monsters corpse that were quite useful for researching and improving my chimera making knowledge. But I wonder about the next ce? What kind of fucked up creations I can make there? I also need to start researching the cyborg modification and see what I can turn myself into. A methrower? A chainsaw? Or maybe an extendable hand? Damn. I have already a lot of ideas popping up in my head that I want to test out already. Still, I have yet to get there. And ording to the map, I will have to travels a long distance, so yea. It will be quiet long road. Oh well, I have something to kill time with, so maybe I won''t be really that much bored while traveling. I just wander how nasty of a bastard this will be once I make him! Chapter 58 – Dusk city. It took days just I expected and like that goblin told me, but after finally long time I managed to arrive Dusk. "." ". I got to say This ce isn''t what I was expecting." C said Phantasia while driving his carriage. "This city Wow." (I was honestly expecting this ce to be something like abination of a forest and city, since dark elves apparently are the ones in charge of this ce.) (You know, the elves and the forests and all.) (But this ce is way different.) "Excuse me. Mister guard." C said Phantasia after stopping his carriage. "Hm? Yes?" C replied the dark elf guard. "Do you know any ce or maybe apany that focuses on dealing and selling buildings?" "Hm. Go in this direction and try asking around there, people should point you to the right building." C said the guard while pointing at the mountain. "Thanks." C said Phantasia before ridding off. (Anyway, where was I?) (Ah, right. This ce unique appearance.) (From what the merchant told me on the road, the good part of the city is inside the mountain.) (And I can see he wasn''t lying. I can see a huge part of the mountain carved out or something and I can see a lot of buildings inside that ce.) (This entire city is builted right next to the mountain with part of being attached to it or straight up inside it.) (The outside part of the city, is surrounded by nothing but grass field, but behind it and the mountain? There are other mountains and forest on top of them all.) (I also heard that this ce has 2 main source of ie from the traveling merchants.) (The first are extremely rich vines of metals as well as gems.) (And the second are the monsters who are extremely dangerous.) (Honestly, this ces gives me more of a dwarf vibe than elf vibe.) (Still, I got to say that the city looks quite beautiful and unique in its own way.) (Not only that, but from the distance I could tell it was very big city. But now that I''m inside? I don''t know. This ce maybe way bigger than I though.) (.) (FUCK!) (Before in the Draman I had thought about destroying that city to make people aware of the "Doctor".) (But after looking at that ce defenses I realized that it was impossible.) (I even gotten my shit beaten out off by Min city when I attacked and it didn''t had the defenses Draman had.) (And this ce? Yea. I don''t think I can deal with it. It may even turn out to be even heavier defended than Draman.) (Damn.) (I was nning on destroying this ceter on after I was done with it in order to damage the kingdom and hinder yers, but I guess I have to give up on that n.) () (Unless I maybe find a means of destroying this ce.) (Anyway, the time needed to get to this ce was even way longer than I though.) (I have proper means of transport and everything, but still. Way more time than I thought had passed.) (Honestly, maybe I could think of making a chimera that can drag my caravan way faster than horse. But that would obviously expose me. I did run into some merchants along the way.) (Maybe I should try to look for some monsters I could tame and use them instead of horse.) (I saw two different merchant that didn''t used horse.) (The orc one used a weird rhino like monster dragging his carriage while the dark elf had something like a dinosaur dragging their carriage.) (So having a non-horse creature dragging your carriage around isn''t abnormal.) (Still Where I would find a monster like this.) (I had tamed few new monsters, but I can''t use them to drag my carriage around.) () (Well, for now lets just focus on finding a building I can buy so I can set up my base.) [After some time passed, Phantasia managed to find the building that specializes estate business.] "So, you wish for a building that can be used as a storage as well as a workshop, yes?" C said the dark elf worker. "Yea. I''m alchemist and cksmith so I will definitely make a lot of noise, so I would like a location that wouldn''t bother people." "Hm. Then there are several locations." "Here is arge two store building that was once used as merchant base of operation, but could be turned into a workshop There are also some smaller buildings and medium sized ones." (Hm There are few that are interesting. But the cost seems pretty high.) (There is not really much cheap options here There are some, but there is probably reason why they are so cheap.) (Maybe they are small or their locations sucks.) (I maybe be rich, but I can''t just buy first random building. What if I buy too small or too big building?) (.) (I guess I need to check each building myself and then see what fits.) Honestly, there was a lot of possible buildings I could buy and it did took me quiet a bit to visit each one that interested me, but in the end, I managed to buy a good location. It wasn''t anything like a grand building or anything like that, it wasn''t too big or too small and it was located on the edge of the city. BUT! It was secluded. I could do shady experiments in there without much problems. It costed a bit, but the location is too good to pass. Anyway, after buying that building I began unpacking my stuff while also buying materials needed to make a furnace that I will use for cksmithing. It took several hours setting everything up, but it was worth it. Anyway, I still had a lot of money left, so I didn''t need to go hunting yet. Instead, I just bough myself several different ingots. Normal iron ingots, but also ck and white ingots. Those ingots aren''t normal metals, they are much better and higher rank metals. The ck iron is extremely durable and powerful while the white iron is excellent for mana based equipment''s like the mages armors and staffs. There are also stuff like mana stones and mana crystals. Mana gems are special stones you can dig out or obtain by different specific means, for example find them in extremely dangerous terrain. And the mana crystals are the stuff that sometimes grow inside the monsters or can drop when they die. Both have many different uses and different application depending on quality and type. Anyway, the reason why I''m buying them? Well, obviously I want to test out the modifications I can make with my own body. The modification procedure was. Quiet problematic andplicated. It took many trials and errors And I mean like a lot. I made my arm pop out like a toy once for some reason even though I didn''t even add anything rted to my army getting send flying. Yea. I pretty much spend the entire day trying to figure out what worked and how. For now, I only focused on my left hand, but I got say, it was god dammed fun. I was thinking of starting messing with my other arm, but I kind of need to start hunting now in order not to have any money problemster on. I can also use that opportunity to test out my left arm. Anyway, to get to the hunting ground you have leave the city and head to the mountains that are right next to the city or you can take a special path uses that goes thought the mountain that is the city build into, it''s quite nice and its quiet heavily defended. In order to get to the hunting grounds, I need to move quiet distance, but along the way I run into some miners that were transporting a lot of ck iron and other valuable stuff. Like mentioned before, this ce has two sources of ie. The mines and the monsters. The adventurer guild here is straight up full with the request when I came to check it out. Yeb. This ce is extremely far away from the previous city I was in, but people will definitely try toe here once the news spread about riches of this ce.N?v(el)B\\jnn Still, like said before the mines here are also the main source of the ie. However, because how many monsters are roaming around there is constant recruitment of merceries and guards to defend the mines and other stuff. I like this ce! Not only rich in metals and other stuff you can dig out from this ce, but also a lot of monsters? This ce ispletely perfect for my experiments! Both for chimera and the cyborg modifications. If the monsters here are also quite special or strong, then the chimeras I would make from now on would also be quite good. There is also no rush anymore since I need to stay hidden temporarily, meaning I can focus on quality without any problems. Still, if the monsters are also like the miners and metals you can get here that good, then I have now a proper reason to destroy this ce. Both the kingdom can get much stronger thanks to this ce AND the yers will definitely use this ce for their own gain as well. I slowed down yers growth with my actions, but considering how I will spend a lot of time on crafting, they will sooner orter catch up to me in terms of levels. I may have became much stronger than before thanks to all evil Imitted. But unfortunately, it''s not enough. I really can''t see any possibilities of me destroying this ce with my current power. Right now, I need to focus on my own strength instead of chimeras. Not only that the gues that I made so far weren''t any real threat. Cyborg. Chimera. And gue. If I want to even think of even destroying this ce, I need all 3 of those things to be solid and deadly. Right now, it''s impossible to destroy this ce or even in near future, but oh well. I have time. I will just focus on growing my strength and the three experiments I had made are about improvement and poetical. I don''t know if I will be able to obtain enough power to destroy this ce. But oh boy. If I do get my hands on that kind of power. I will straight up turn this ce to ashes. But for now, I''m just innocent yer Phantasia the "Wood Mask". I''m just a yer that hunt monsters and make items for enjoyment and maybe businesster on. Everything is fine. For now, that is. Chapter 59 – It WAS quiet. [Mountain Panther C Level 180] The mountain panther charged at the Phantasia, but Phantasia quickly dodged the attack before then firing [Poison Shot(s)] at the beast, dealing a perfect counter attack, but not killing the beast. The beast quickly recovered and rushed at Phantasia again, but then Phantasia left arm changed its shape. The arm ended up bing a sword before then stabbing the panther in the chest and then going upwards, cutting the lion head in two. "." "Huh." The man arm changed shape again, changing back and forth between the de and normal arm in almost instance. (Good. It seems to be working properly.) (I went for a simple form for the start, but I got to say, even though it''s simple, its deadly.) (Grab, change, stab. Instant death.) (Enemying at you, change form, counter.) (Simple, but extremely effective.) (Still. This experiment did provided me with some interesting info.) (I let monsters attack and damage the de as well as my modified arm in order to see if anything would be revealed and stuff.) (I also tried fighting only using the de as well as trying to do somebos.) (And yeb.) (This cyborg thing is broken like hell, even though I''m just using prototype arm.) (Not only that, I can still use my magic without any problem with my modified arm... That is quiet broken no matter how you look at this.) (.) (DAMN! I REALLY WANT TO HAVE AN CHAISAW ARM RIGHT NOW!) "." "Anyway, the monsters here seems to be loner types But they are extremely strong." "Well, I''m notining, they give a lot of EXP." (On top of that, they will be quite good for creating chimeras.) (.) (Hm What should I do?) (I want to go back and test out different modification I can do with my arm now that I seen and felt how its feels to use modified body part. Nah., I need chimera materials as well as materials from monsters for my cyborg research.) (But should I use chimeras?) (. Nope.) (There is good chance that I''m not the only yer here. I can hide my arm without much problem, but chimeras? Yea they are quite easy to spot with their special appearance.) (Speaking of yers.) (I wonder how long it will take more yers to get here?) (Hm. Nope. It shouldn''t take too long for the people to get here. The only problem is distance though.)n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om (. Should I open a business.) Suddenly the mountain panther began rushing towards Phantasia and as soon as the monster was about to pounce at mad man, the giant red tail suddenly appeared out of nowhere and straight up pped the monster across the face. The monster stopped in its movement and saw the giant red cobra monster standing it is way. However, it wasn''t all. Before the panther realized it was already surrounded by horned wolves from all directions. "Huh. Next one already? Lucky." C said Phantasia while approaching the monster. The monster was panicking after suddenly getting ambushed from all directions. It tried to attack one of the wolfs nearby, but then it ended up getting attacked by behind by another wolf and then when it tried to counter attack the red cobra attacked. No matter the action the monster took, it was always the one taking the damage. The monster and panicking more and more, but then it stopped as Phantasia straight up grabbed its neck with its arm before then turning its hand into a de, stabbing the monster at point nk range and finishing him off. "." (The new wolves as well as the red cobra I had tamed are pretty nice.) (It was worth it looking around for it in order to tame and as for the horned wolves, they work well together in team.) (But once they evolve, they will get turned into martials.) (Well, they have to level up first to evolve and everything.) I continue hunting the monsters on the mountains and collect their materials. I also wanted to collect their bodies, but for now I need materials for the experiments as well as to sell some of them for money. Its better if keep making a steady ie in between even if I have a lot of money to spare, since I never know what may happened. As for leveling up, it was steady. I wasn''t using chimeras just in case somebody saw me, but the normal undeads and the tamed monsters were alone. I was also using the hunting grounds for my experiments regarding the different type of modification I could do with my body. I had also changed my right arm into a mechanical part as well. I also had experimented with the mountain panther ws. They were quite perfect. My normal arms currently look like they are wearing gloves, but in reality, they are not. Before I only turned half of my left arm into a robotic one, but this time both of my arms are special weapons. The form that people see; the ws are my arms base form. They are both my equipment and part of my body. They provide a lot of defense and are quiet good weapons. They kind of helped me cut off the mountain panther head without much problem. I was nning on adding function like an ability to fire my hand while being attached to my body by a rope, but I have few problems with this. However, I did added little surprise to both of my arms. But, like chimera and the gue have problems of their own, so does the [Cyborg]. I wasn''t nning on bing one, but by the look of things I have no choice by to became an all rounder in terms of stats, meaning put points equally in every single stat. I thought I wouldn''t need to be one if I rece my body parts by recing my body parts with machine, but I guess I was wrong. The mechanical body gets bit lighter since its part of my body, but its still weights, so by adding more modification or straight up mechanizing my entire arm, the weigh increases ordingly. Its like heavy and light armors. I get the weight reduction effect from my skill called [Cyborg Body Weight] passive, but it''s based on skill level, so yea, right now its problematic. There are also some other problems. Like for example I need to learn how to properly turn the object into my limb. Since for example the mechanical sword and the normal swords ARE different as well as the fact that the weapon is my body and everything. So, I need to find out what form of changes and adjustment I would make to a de or thing crossbow if I were to add one to my limb or had my entire limb be turned into There is also the problem with mana. Whenever I do the change form, I would need to consume some amount of MP and any bigger special actions for example firing would need consume even more mana or special made parts. I''m also quite new to all this, so I don''t know if I''m in deep hole or not right now, but either way right now is all about learning. So far, I did made quite interesting things. The arms of mine are currently an alpha version and not finished product, but they are indeed quite deadly. As for the between the experiments and hunting. There was really nothing going on. Nothing like an princes in the distress or anything like that. So, I can just focus on my- Or so I fuking though. [Current location: Market. "." (Okay. What the fuck is going on?) (Why are there guards walking here everywhere?) (A first thing I see from the morning are guards going around and asking people? Did something got murdered or something?) "!" Phantasia walked towards the goblin merchant nearby he knows. "Hey." "Hm? Oh, its you. The new guy that." C said the goblin merchant. "Hey Mario." C said Phantasia. "Em What the hell is going on?" "Why are there so many guards here? Was there an ident or something?" "" ''Sigh'' "Yea. And pretty big one at that." "?" "Do you know dwarf named Evilin?" "Em No? Should I?" "Wait, you really don''t?! I though you would since you are a cksmith and everything." "Sorry, but I''m quite focused with my own work and research. Anyway, who is he?" "Em So do you want the whole story or a bit?" "Whole story, since the situation seems to be bit problematic by the look of things." C said Phantasia while pointing at the guards. "True." "Well, Evilin is this city the best cksmith if not one of the best in this entire kingdom." "Many of his creations are well known through the city as the masterpieces and each of these masterpieces sells for the fortune." "His workshop where is a ce where many different cksmiths from many different races hopes to study under him." "Some of the pupils he trained personally became master craftsman and created their ownpanies in order to surpass their master." "Not only that, this dwarf is one of the richest people in the whole city." "Fame. Glory. Wealth. You name it." "This guy is an extremely big of a deal in and outside the city." "So, he is a big time celebrity that has many things?" "" "Huh So did something happened to him?" C asked Phantasia. "I mean, so many guards so early in the morning going around isn''t normal at all." "So for so many people taking actions right now." "Yea. He went missing yesterday." "Wait, wait, wait. Stop." C said Phantasia suddenly. "So, you are saying, all of this is happening, because something happened to 1 person in specific?" "Correct." C said Mario. "What kind of... Or not." C said Phantasia before stopping. (Really? I mean really? 1 person is gone and so many people are on the move?) "." "Please continue." "Okay." C replied Mario. "Evilin had many enemies." "Raging from merchants who wanted them to have an exclusive contractor with him or wanted straight up having them work only for them, to a greedy nobles who wanted to have his talent for himself." "There are also a lot of people that would want him dead to either get rid of the most dangerouspetition or take his riches." "Being extremely sessful like him has many benefits, but also downsides." "However, that guy want to be free and everything, so he straight up said "No" to them all." "He just wanted to do his work in his own way without getting distrusted." "This guy has a lot of connections of his own and not only that, he also knows that many people would want him for their own gain or to just get rid off him." "So, to deal with that problem and secure his disciples safety he straight up fortified his workshop with security and defenses." "However yesterday, all of the defenses he had were destroyed, guards were killed alongside the workers that were in the workshop at the time." "As for the Evilin? He was gone. His special tools he was known for using when crafting were also missing." "The situation is extremely bizarre." "Nobody even realize what happened until the disciples hade to the workshop early in the morning to find it in its sorry state." "The money wasn''t stolen or anything, nor were any valuable creations the cksmith made." "To add even more problems, there are way too many suspects and there is also the fact that the best dwarven cksmith was kidnapped in the dead of night without anybody noticing." "There are way too many unknown factors and no answers. " "No evidence or main suspects. Nothing!" "All that is known is that he was possible kidnapped alongside his tools he used for creating his masterpieces." "Not only that, because of how important of the figure Evilin was, it was straight up impossible to not let the news not to get find out as well as spread around the city like wild fire. Straight up the entire city knows about the fact that Evilin was kidnaped and is now missing." "This will be Extremely chaotic time. For crying out loud. Who could do something like this?!" "Right now, people only know about his disappearance But considering the bizarre of the situation and how it was done without anybody noticing straight up scares people." "There is also the fact that nobody really knows if he alive or not and that makes the situation much worse." "." "Oh." (This Huh. Was that guy really that important?) (The whole city is going crazy after the event about his kidnapping ended bing public.) (Based on the people reactions and how guards are looking for him nonstop, it makes sense to specte that dwarf is probably the most important person in this entire city. Even way more important than the mayor or even the lord of this territory if the people are straight up reacting like this.) (Even Mario, this cheerful and merchant mood got affected by it. Jezus.) "" (FOR FUCK SAKE!) C though Phantasia. (This time I didn''t wanted any chaos happening since I wanted to calmly focus on my research and everything.) (But when I decided to be a good boy for now, somebody else went and made a mess?) (For crying out loud.) (I''m fine when I''m the one making the mess and making other people lifes miserable, but not the other way around when a victim!) (.) (Okay calm down.) (This is first time I heard about that Evilin guy, but for his kidnapping to shake the entire city that much means a lot to the people and the city itself.) (Still, this is way too sudden.) (The entire city was extremely peaceful and everything.) (But now?) (A chaos is slowly rising.) ("Calm before the storm" huh?) (But still, it''s way too... Okay. I kind of did the simr thing myself with the whole appearing out of nowhere with gue and chimeras, so I did that myself.) (. Wow Yea I kind of see now more reasons why people despise me This isn''t nice at all.) (.) (Should I do something about this?) Chapter 60 – Investigating. "Thanks. Pleasee again." C said goblin merchant named Mario. "Yea. Thanks." C replied Phantasia while walking away. (Damn.) (All it took was for 1 guy to suddenly go missing to make this entire city go ballistic.) (Still. Should I do something?) (The kidnapped person was a legendary cksmith.) (He wasn''t killed, but its unknown if he is alive or not.) (Was it somebody from the city?) (Mario said that dwarf had many enemies. No.) (If they did anything to him their lifes would be ruined.) (So then, an outsider?) (But if so, what is their goal?) (If their goal was to destroy his ce, I would also go and kidnap the dwarf instead of killing him in order to spread chaos.) (But, he isn''t only an high standing figure, but an legendary cksmith of this city.) (Its quiet obvious that the kidnappers may have taken him away in order to force them to make something, but what?) (.) (Honestly, I don''t like this.) (Who is the motherfucker that is disturbing MY peace!) (.) (There are many reasons why they would kidnap or harm the dwarf, but the list of suspects it''s too long.) (. For now, let''s get back home and start doing improvement with my arms.) I quickly went back to my current base and once again began the experiments as well as did some improvement. I didn''t add any special modification, just adjustment, but it made the arms bit more smother than before. "" "Fuck. I can''t stop not thinking about that dwarf guy." (If I knew that there is some sort of legendary cksmith in the city that may take you as discipline, I would have even begged on knees for him to teach me.) (.) (Should I try to rescue him?) (If I do rescue him, he may have taken me as discipline.) (Not only that, it would calm the city It''s extremely big win for me if I did that.) () (Okay. It could work.) (If I rescue him as the wood mask as well, my reputation will also increase and in turn my business would get better.) (Not only that, his teaching could help me drastically with my cyborg research.) (But how I would rescue him?) (.) "Is he still in the city?" "Anybody who would leave the city during the night or after that guy disappearance became known would be poetical suspects." "But what if the culprit is right now still in the city, with the dwarf?" (There is chance they are waiting for an perfect opportunity to use to escape.) (.) (Or they may be already gone.) (Merchant and nobles. Either could bribe the guards to let them go unchecked.) (And its not like I''m some sort of person with huge influence in this city or anything like that, so I cannot make guards tell me everything they know.) (There is also the fact that there is way too many suspects.) (Mario told me about some of the more well known people in the city that may want to do something to him, but then again, they will be the first suspects and everything and if even an single hint is shown, they would be fucked.) (Each and every enemy of the dwarf will be investigated) () (Can I even do anything?) (I really want to be the who rescues him, since I may end up being epted as his pupil.) "." "Fuck it." I left my workshop and headed to the location where dwarf workshop is located. "Sorry, but this is a crime scene and all non-authorized personal have no right to enter this ce." C said the dark elf guard. "I should have seen thising. Bye." C said Phantasia before walking away. (Well, that was quite obvious. Still, it didn''t hurt to try.) (The entire area is currently being guarded by a bunch of guards There is no way to even sneak in.) (It would be nice if I could at least get one of the disciplines to tell me stuff. But apparently, they are also suspects.) (Not only that, they may feel in danger as well, since their master ended up disappearing.) (I doubt I would be able to talk with them.) (Fuck.) (I can''t do anything?) (No leads. No support. Nothing.) (All I know that the dwarf maybe in the city OR that the culprit had bribed guards to keep quiet about the kidnapping.) (But again, no evidence to support either theories.) (.) (There are also other ways to leave the city. For example, the mine carts that are carrying ores from the mines to the city and out.)n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om (I can ask Mario for help, but its not like he owns every mine operation in here or any mayorpanies. He is more ofckey.) (He may not even be able to issue a search as well. Fuck. This may also be dead end.) "." Phantasia took rest in the random alleyway. (Okay. Maybe I should think it simpler.) (Let''s say that nobody from the city OR any of the dwarf enemies did that.) (I don''t know how big of a chance that is, but its better to first confirm if the culprit is from the city or not.) (If I was an outside. I would use the mine carts, but that would mean inside connection.) (However if they don''t have any connections and work alone, then they wouldn''t have any way of leaving the city undetected, since they would have to force their way through any of the heavy defended entrances to the city. But the guards would already found about this.) (Then. If outside who somehow infiltrated the city and kidnapped the man is either still inside the city. Or they have a different way out.) (Hiding and waiting for perfect opportunity to escape is one thing, but if they have secured different means of escaping the city while not ending up detected, then they may have already left the city.) (The question is how?) (How they would escape?) (The dwarf disappeared in the night. There was nothing or anything. Guards would have spotted something or some drunkards roaming around in night.) (Does that mean that the culprit had n made before hand?) (If so, the culprit shouldn''t have any ability of leaving that ce unnoticed.) (Unless he is either hiding nearby or has the escape route somewhere here.) (The traitor discipline who made escape route inside the workshop?) (Nope. They would definitely find the escape way sooner orter.) (That means that the escape or hiding spot is outside the workshop range.) (But the guards would have looked around and searched around. That would leave an escape path the only option.) (However the escape path shouldn''t be too obvious or too easily spotted, since it would ruins the ns way too early.) (A quick but well hidden escape path that could be ess from somewhere around the workshop.) "." "!" Phantasia looked down and saw a manhole on the ground. "." "The answer is so obvious that its straight up too stupid to be truth, eh?" Phantasia grabbed the manhole with his mechanical arms before then slowly lifting it up and then moving it aside. "Damn! This thing is way heavier than it looks." (Still Lets see what we are dealing with, shall we?) Phantasia climbed down thetter while also making sure that the sink hole is covered. "." "Nice." Phantasia found himself in therge underground system located under the city. (Well At least its not filled with monster rats or stings that badly as Min city sewers That a an up.) (Still, this ce is both an perfect hiding spot, since you can get here from the workshop quiet fast.) "And if there is an escape path in here, the culprit could have used it to leave the city undetected." (If there is no escape paths here, then it confirms that the culprit was somebody from the city and not outsider.) (And this will give me an huge progress in research.) Aftering up with the theory of the culprit using the sewers for his advantage and maybe having an secret way out of the city, I began inspecting the entire ce in hopes of finding any leads. It took a bit of time to navigate through those sewers, but I found something. "" (Why is there dirt on the ground in this specific spot? It''s not like small amount or anything as well.) (The sewers are filthy and all But there is way too random for so much dirt to be in that kind of ce.) (And. Why these bricks look bit new?) (Did they repaired the wall?) (. No.) (If they did, they would have removed the dirt or just toss it into the sewer water to get rid of it if they werezy bastards.) (By any chance. Was it not the workers who repaired the wall?) "" Phantasia summoned his giant rabbit bear. "Crush that wall." The chimera attacked the wall and easily made it fall apart without much effort. However, as Phantasia suspected something was off about that wall. As soon as the wall copsed, it revealed a tunnel that was straight up digged out. "Fuking knew it!" (They destroyed the wall and then rebuilded it in order to hide the path But their stupid asses makes the wall look too NEW and it made stand out too much!) "But. That at least confirms something." (I don''t know if the culprit is really an outsider or not, but considering the situation, but with the current evidence and how the culprit may have operated shows that he or she may have been outside.) (And right now I''m the only one who knows as well as existence of this hidden path!) "" "Well then, shall we see what we got here?" Chapter 61 – Fallowing the tracks. (Hm. This path seem quiet long path by the look of things.) C though Phantasia while traveling across the tunnel. (I have been already walking for quiet a while Just how long is this tunnel?) (Considering that they didn''t wanted to get catched while making it. How long it took to make this entire thing?!) Phantasia began walking across the long tunnel while carrying the torch to light his path. However, while walking, the yer ended uping at the dead end, so- "Break it." The chimera rabbit bear destroyed the wall, revealing a path. (At least make not look as fake wall as much as possible for crying out loud. I guess the culprit was in so big of a rush he didn''t had time to properly cover his tracks. Or maybe he only covered the both entrances of the tunnel so nobody would find before he or she starts its operation before then covering it and after they kidnapped the dwarf, they didn''t had enough time to make a proper looking fake wall since they were in rush to get out and instead just nted those fakes walls. Yea that would make some sense.) (Anyway I''m outside.)n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om (Specifically the forest.) (I don''t recognize this part of the forest But if we take the distance in consideration Does that mean I''m near the hunting grounds?) (Still This confirms few things.) (The culprit as well as the dwarf are outside the city already.) (Now How the hell I will find them?!) (Its all good and everything that I know that the outside may have been the culprit and the fact that both the culprit and victim are outside the city at the moment.) (But where the hell will I find them?!) (This is even worse than city!) "." "No." "Calm down." "The culprit was visible in hurry and he left 2 evidences already that could be easily avoided if he took his time." "There is good chance that there are some leads here." (What should I look for?) (A tracks left behind by a cart or a horse?) (The cart would definitely not do, since the terrain is too unfit for it.) "." "Oh?" (Hove tracks!) (.) (Hm. The tracks edges are still good. But they would have beenpletely lost if even bit more time passed.) (BUT THOSE TRACKS CONDITIONS ARE WAY TOO GOOD!) (That can only mean one thing.) (They must have left only recently!) (No fuking wonder that they were in rush.) (The sooner they would leave, the sooner tracks would disappear on their own!) (Still, there is a lot of monsters and wild animals going around as well as the fact that wind oftenes and goes. I should hurry before the tracks disappear.) Phantasia began fallowing the hooves tracks on ground, traveling through the forest located on the mountains while also asionally encountering monsters along the way. He did asionally ended up losing tracks since monster may have ended up stepping all over them, slowing down his search multiple times in row. However, Phantasia began noticing some. Annoying problems. (Damn!) (I may have an extremely high stat total and everything, but I''ve been slowly encounter more and more higher level monsters.) (Not only that, most of these monsters I had never encounter in here and some of them are strong enough to kill me if I let my guard down! The mountain panther are the only monsters I had encounter that I know of, but other fuckers arepletely new and extremely strong.) (Some of them did almost killed. This area is too high level to me. If the culprit really have its base here Then how strong is that person?) (Should I back away?) (.) (No.) (This maybe my only chance to rescue the dwarf and receive all credit for it.) (But if I encounter any stronger monsters, I would need to take it seriously. Meaning all the nasty weapons and stuff I have at hand will be used, including these arms full power and the chimeras.) (As for gue Yea I can''t use it. It will only bring problems.) (Still The I fallowed the culprit tracks for quiet long distance already. I''m nowhere near the city right now. Where the fuck am I right now anyway?) (Not only that, traversing that terrain alone with those monsters isn''t easy. But considering the fact that I haven''t catched up to the culprit yet suggest that he or she isn''t a weakling.) (.) (Should I bring out chimeras?) (I still have my tamed monsters and undead, but the chimeras, especially the bear rabbit are straight up strongest one.) (I should be safe. But if the dwarf I n to rescue straight up sees them. Then I will have no choice but to murder him.) () (Still, how long do I have to walk for?) (The enemy seems to be using a horse or something, but he or she cannot run at full speed in here.) (Horse is probably only meant to drag dwarf around, so-) "?!" Phantasia suddenly stopped and hid behind the giant tree. Reason? Phantasia saw a cave in the side the mountain. "." (The tracks are heading to the cave) (Hideout?) (Or maybe another passage inside?) "." (Shit.) (There is no way I can enter that cave without getting spotted. But the tracks are straight up leading there.) (Fuck it.) C though Phantasia before putting his wood mask on. (The culprit wasn''t dyed by the monsters here and even had made path or base here?! That guy isn''t definitely not some sort of weakling.) (Will I really have no choice but to use chimeras?) (It would have been perfect if the dwarf was unconscious or locked up somewhere!) Phantasia alongside his tamed monsters and undead began walking towards cave. "" (The ground here is softer. And there are foot marks?) (Large boots. Dwarf probably.) (There are also several other boot marks. Was there multiple culprits?) "Undeads. You got at front." Phantasia alongside his monsters had entered the dark cave. "." (There is no way they won''t find us out.) (We are moving in a huge group right now.) (We can start fighting at any moment or get ambushed by-) "?!" The group had suddenly stopped as the sound of somebody or something waking could be hearding from the deeper parts of the cave. (I guess they areing to greet us.) C though Phantasia while preparing his crossbow. "?!" The unknown being finally got close enough for the Phantasia group to see the beings and as it turns out they were people. Or to be more exact: Undead people. (They are not intelligent. Necromancy.) (AND THEY ARE HOSTILE!) The armor wearing undead began running towards the group, forcing Phantasia to send his undead beasts to confront enemy. The undead quickly shed with each other and it was already visible that the enemy armor wearing undead were quite strong. However, while the armor wearing skeletons were distracted with the zombie mountain panther, the horn wolves began using that opportunity to do sneak attacks against the monsters. However, the wolf realized that the armor the undead were wearing weren''t some cheap stuff since the undeads didn''t suffered too much damage from the w attacks. "Fuck." (These undeads have both high level and proper equipment.) Phantasia aimed with his crossbow at the skeleton that was fighting the group of wolves, taking his time before then firing from his crossbow and hitting the undead right in the face before then shattering the undead head. After destroying undead, Phantasia quickly got rid of his crossbow before then running towards one of the skeletons. The undead noticed him and swinged its axe at him, but Phantasia quickly dodged to the side before then using skill [Punch] to increase his next fist type attack. Phantasia swinged its arm from below, hitting the skeleton right in the jaw with upper cut. Phantasia then fallowed up with [Jab] skill to boost his next arm type attack and speed before then punching the skeleton right in the chest, pushing it away and making it lose its bnce before then falling on the ground. "Beat him up!" The horned wolves began ganging up on the fallen skeleton, attacking it and trying to finish off the undead. 1 more skeleton is left. The sword wielding undead ended up badly damaging the undead mountain panther and it was about to finish it before then getting shot with a barrage of bone projectiles fired by Phantasia, stopping the monster in time and then allowing the red cobra to attack the monster legs, making it lose its bnce, creating an opening for the Phantasia undeads to attack the monster alongside their master. Before long, the two remaining armored skeletons have been dealt with by Phantasia group. "." (Okay They are dead But fuck me. They were durable?) (Were these skeletons some sort of evolved version of the normal skeleton? Or was it because of their equipment?) (.) (Anyway. The culprit is a necromancer by the look of things.) (And some annoying one at that if only 3 skeletons were straight up stopping us and even when they were outnumbered, they weren''t straight up dying. Those fuking skeletons are not regr undeads. This. This will be quiet annoying by the look of this.) (And I have yet to face the culprit himself.) Chapter 62 – Kidnapper. "You fuking dwarf!" The man suddenly punched a ck bearded dwarf in the stomach. "" "Really?" "My mom punches way harder than you." C said the ck beard dwarf. [The renown craftsman of many masterpieces that lives Dusk city C Evilin] In front of the unknown man was the legendary cksmith of the Dusk city called Evilin who was chained around his waist. The man hair was short, but his ck beard was long. "Shut up!" C shouted the man. "You better- '' "I better what?" "What will you do necromancer?" "Kill me and raise me as undead? Ha! You wish." "You need me alive and turning me into undead will only destroy your ns." "Oh. And you don''t want to hurt me if you want me to make you stuff." "All you can do is to chain me up here and can''t even really hurt me or torture me." "Somon. Hurt me. You will be the real one in trouble." "Do you really think I haven''t dealt with assholes like you in the past?" "" The man walked out of the room before shutting the reinforced door shut andpletely turning the room dark. "Fuck!" C said the man before punching the cave wall. (That fuking over arrogant bitch!) (And the most annoying part about it is that he is absolutely correct.) (I cannot kill him or damage him in order to have him create "That".) (This is so-) "?!" (What was that noise?) (.) (!) (Again!) (Are the undead fighting? Did they encounter wild monster that fallowed us?) (Or by any chance the pursuers somehow managed to find me already?) () (No. This is impossible.) (But its better if I deal with it since less mess will make this ce less suspicious.) [Meanwhile C Phantasia.] "." (Okay. That wasst of the undeads.) C though Phantasia after finish off the skeleton. (Damn. The undeads here are no joke at all.) (3 are manageable, but 4?! Fuck my life! And some of them are bit stronger than others.) (If I encounter big group that also has those stronger skeletons, I will have no choice but to bring out chimeras at this rate.) (. Still This ce isn''t a cave?) (This ce clearly look manmade.) (There are traces of the work being done.) (Was this ce originally a mine?) (But it doesn''t look like it wasn''t used for a long time nor I see any tools.) (Was it abandoned? It doesn''t look like it was even used for long anything.) (Or did the necromancer made this ce just like he made the tunnel?) (It could be either possibilities and-) "!" "Stop." Phantasia ordered his monsters to stop after hearinging from the distance. "." (Em. I know its skeletons again. But isn''t this. Too many footsteps?!) Phantasia prepared his crossbow alongside his monsters, realizing that the fight could happened at any moment. And Phantasia was right to worry. A huge group of the armor wearing skeletons appeared, including some of the stronger undeads in the mix. But this wasn''t all. Among the group there was a person who was carrying and staff and had his face covered with hood. "." (Damn!) (This wasn''t nned!) (I though this would be some sort of dungeon where the finally boss is at the end.) (But why the fuck the necromancer came to me instead?!)N?v(el)B\\jnn (This isn''t good at all or anything!) (But is that necromancer anyway? What if there was more than 1 kidnapper?) (No. This isn''t the point.) (I can take them on like this.) (I have to use chimeras.) "Who the fuck are you?" C said the hooded figure. "." "I asked who the fuck are you?" "." "Heh." "Welp, I guess my job is done." C said the hooded figure. "?" "What is that supposed to mean?" "Who the fuck are you?!" "Who knows." "Maybe a person that find out that you used the sewers system as your escape route as well as used to connect your tunnel to the outside world." "You should have fuking made better job of covering up your tracks as well as the fact that you straight up left brand new wall as well as bunch of dirt in the sewers." "Did you really think that nobody would notice that?" "" The man tabbed the ground with his staff and the undead began slowly walking to Phantasia. "I wouldn''t do that if I were you." C said Phantasia. "Since you don''t want to get exposed, don''t you?" "" "Stop." C said the hooded man, stopping his undeads. "What do you mean by that?" "Well. What do you think?" "." (Is he bluffing?) (Or by any chance he isn''t alone. Wait.) (He is one of those outworlders, isn''t he?) (I heard they are banished after death, but they can resurrectter on. This is first time I encounter one of them.) "" (Shit.) C though both the man and Phantasia. (Is he really not alone? Even if he isn''t then he will still tell people about me.) (Yeb. This guy is necromancer. But if he can control that many undeads that are also this strong means that he isn''t weakling.) C though Phantasia. (Dying won''t benefit me at all, since he may use the window between my death ban to run away.) (I want to rescue the dwarf, but if I die here, I can still resurrect and inform authorities, so at least I will get some money.) (I heard it takes some time for them to resurrect, so its not like they instantlye back. But he will expose me and people will know the area where I was hiding in.) C though the necromancer. (I though the wild monsters would have destroyed the tracks already as well. I get the tunnel since I made the fake walls in the rush, but how did he catched up to me? Did he discovered my path from the get go and fallowed while I was moving the dwarf?) "." "You do realize I will have to kill you no matter what, right?" C said the necromancer. "True. True." "But you also seem to realize that you will be fucked if you do that." "Since considering the fact that you want to kill me confirms that the dwarf is inside." "." "You want something, don''t you?" C said the necromancer. "There is no way you woulde here alone if you came with somebody." "." "Is the dwarf anybody nearby? Can he heard what we will be talking about?" C asked Phantasia. "." "No." "Good." "Well then, how about a deal?" "Give me the dwarf back and I won''t tell anybody about you." ". How dumb do you think I''m?" C said annoyed necromancer. "Well, you need the dwarf alive, don''t you? There could be two reasons why you kidnapped the legendary cksmith of that city." "To either sell him or to have him make something for you." "But you need him alive for that." "However, you have been discovered already by me and soon by the entire city." "But. Something is off, isn''t it?" "!" (NICE!) (There was reaction. I was bluffing right now, but it seems he really have a problem.) (By any chance he cannot force the dwarf to make him stuff?) (.) (Hm. What I should do with that information.) (I don''t want money from giving the information about the dwarf. I want to be the one who rescue him.) "." "Then how about this? Let me just take off this fake mask I''m wearing and let me show my real self to you." "?" Phantasia swapped his entire equipment, including his mask for the "Doctor" equipment. "Greetings." "I''m but a humble researched called "Doctor". Pleasure to make your acquiescence." "." C the necromancer staredplexed at the "Doctor" "Huh I though you would have heard about me or something since I did destroyed few settlements andmitted some mass genocide and all." C said Phantasia. "I guess I''m not that famous yet." "Honestly, I was nning on killing you while pretending to be the guy called the "Wood Mask", but I decided to change my n." "." "What the fuck do you want?" C said the necromancer while getting ready to fight. "Well The current situation seem. More favorable to me than I originally though." "But I know you won''t give me the dwarf at all." "However, you need the dwarf yourself, don''t you?" "So, how about this?" "You help me out and you give me the dwarf." "." "And how the hell you would help me out?" "Dunno." "But you are currently at my mercy." "Even if you somehow kill me and escape, you will be hunted down and your ns would get ruined." "But you can kill the dwarf and destroy my ns and I cannot have that, can''t I?" "So, that is where the deales in." "I know you have stolen all of his special tools and everything, meaning that the option of you having him being forced to make something is more highly likely." "But there is one thing I don''t get." "Why are you panicking so much?" "Let me guess. You can''t make him craft the stuff you want, don''t you?" "But me?" "Just let me do it for you and I will make him "Obedient" for you." "And trust me. I have ways to force people in quiet nasty way." "So, how about it?" "Will you trust this bastard? Or have all of your ns be ruined instead?" "Chose wisely." Chapter 63 - Threats "." (It got quiet all sudden.) C though the dwarf. (I don''t even hear skeletons bones rattling or anything like that.) "!" Suddenly the door opened, letting the light inside the room. "." (Who is that bird masked guy?) (He wasn''t with him before.) "So, by the look of things my friend here wasn''t able to convince you, didn''t he?" "." "Who the fuck are you?" "Me? I''m known as "Doctor". And this stupid guy coworker." "Hey." C said necromancer. "What "Hey"? You are bit stupid...Anyway, you. Dwarf." "Do you really think we cannot make you work for us?" "Ha! Do you really think you can do anything to me? Beat me up or torture me at all and I won''t- " "The hurting you was the intimidation." "Well, it was worth a try at least." "Good thing I did prepared things on my end while that guy was busy with your kidnapping." "Do you know what is this?" C said Phantasia while showing and small vail of the red liquid in front of the dwarf. "." "Not even going to ask? Rude." "Well then, allow me to tell you what is this." "gue." "?!" "Don''t believe me? Well, don''t worry. Min city is good enough of an example. It was quite easy to destroy it once I spread the gue around." "By the way, if you don''t trust me, we can infect you with it and see that its not some sort of poison but the real gue." "?!" "Wait! We cannot- " "I have antidote. I can cure him if necessary." "But, it shouldn''t damage your body too much or anything like that." "However this gue has an nasty effect of spreading quiet easy and the longer it stays in the person body, the more powerful it grows and painful." "I set up several of the gue bombs in the city and I can detonate them at any moment." "So, what will you do?" "We don''t need any of the people of the city, since all we care about is you, but if you don''t do what we want for us to kill them all with the gue, then you better watch it dwarf." "And if that isn''t working Well, there always your disciplines. I think you at least care about them, don''t you?" "Our man on the inside is already "Watching them over" if you know what I mean." "The only reason why we didn''t threaten you with the gue from the start is because to create a gue takes some resources and stuff, so its not like its cheap at all." "But if necessary, we won''t mind wasting a lot of resources only to make obedient." "You got it trash!" C said doctor while grabbing the dwarf by his neck. "We can hurt in many different ways that doesn''t even have to do with torturing your body." Doctor let go of the dwarf. "We will give you moment to think about the situation, but not entre day." "So choose wisely." "You." "Or the people of the city." "The choice is yours. But we will make sure that you will end up working for us either one way or another." "So then Lets hope you decide quickly." The doctor and the necromancer left the room before once again shutting down once again before moving away. "." "Do you think he will agree?" C said the necromancer. "He will." "He was trying to keep the poker face, but he was sweating a lot." "As for the story with Min city, I wasn''t lying." "I made the gue and used it to destroy the city." (What?!) C though the dwarf who could hear everything. "And if he doesn''t believe me, well I can do infect him and make him see that I wasn''t lying. Or we can use one of the hostages as the example of what the gue I made can do." "He doesn''t have a choice and he already realized that." C said the doctor while making and hand gesture. "Still, we should get rid of those stupid tracks you made before another search party will make its way here. I already gotten rid of one that was after you." "Oh, shut up!" C said the necromancer before moving away with doctor. "." "So. Do you think he will agree? I''m asking for real now." C said the necromancer while making sure he was far enough from the cell so the dwarf wouldn''t hear him talking. "Yea." "This guy isn''t stupid and will realize that the threat of the gue is real." "Not only that, he was panicking a lot, meaning he knows he is fucked." "And if he just ask something stupid or anything, we can kidnap somebody and use them as example." "The gue stuff I said wasn''t fake. I have a method of creating gues and not some sort of poisons." "So, he will see that my threats aren''t fake and he will witness its horrors." "." "So then "Coworker". He will be obedient no matter what he does, but now it''s the part where you tell me the information I want if you want to end our little bargain with "Happy Ending"." "And it maybe good idea not to lie or anything, since I''m the only reason why he will be obedient like a dog." "." "Fine." C said the necromancer before taking his hood. The necromancer was no longer hiding his identity. He was a dark forest elf with grey hair, but his appearance was Damaged. The half of the man ears were visible cut off and he had also arge burn scar around his left eye as well as had a green colored right eye and grey colored left eye. "My name is Hegan Bi''bio''ro." "I''m a fallen noble of this damn Meniar kingdom." "I despise this kingdom from the bottom of my heart, but I know I''m far too weak to destroy it." "So, I need the dwarf to create a special artifact for me." "I tried with many cksmith already, but each one of them failed me." "The only way for the artifact to be created is to have a master smith who knows art of cksmith as well as magic cksmith and alchemy cksmithing." "This guy maybe the only one able to create the artefact I''m aiming for." "." "And that artefact. Do you really think that some tool will allow you to destroy entire kingdom?" "You are idiot." "Let''s say you have a powerful weapon, then what? If the wielder is a weakling, then no matter how powerful weapon you have, you will still have a limit." "I have an ability to create gues, but right now I have 0% chance of destroying this kingdom." "You are a stupid fool." "Do you really think there was no incident where a weakling got a powerful weapon, but then was never heard of again? Because they got too cocky and they themselves were weak, making them easy to be dealt with." "Or they were destroyed by their own power since they didn''t knew how to control it." "A stupid mistake by many." "Controlling power that is beyond you will only destroy yourself and destroy your ns." "Even if you somehow managed to control the power of the artifact, you yourself will be still an weakling that can be easily killed." "I just fuking dare you to make that kind of extremely stupid mistake." "I will follow through our deal, but you better not fuking just die straight up after obtaining the artifact like an idiot, since it will prove only the fact that our cooperation was nothing more than waste of time." "." "I''m not that dumb you fucker." "And I know that artifact alone won''t allow me to destroy the kingdom. An ability to grow in power." "However, this artifact will give me a possibility of destroying the empire." "Yea, yea." "So, what kind of artifact would give you an ability to grow stronger and be able to destroy this kingdom." "." "You will learn soon." "." "Fine." C replied the doctor. "But remember." "If you dare to betray me and kill the dwarf after you are finished with him, you are dead and I will make sure of that." "Anyway, lets go check on the dwarf." "We gave him more than enough time to make his decision." The doctor as well as the necromancer walked back to the cell before opening the door and revealing the angry dwarf. "So." "What is your answer dwarf?" C asked doctor. "Will you work obediently? Or do I need to use some of the hostages as an example right in front of you to see this gue effect." C said doctor while showing off the vail containing red gue. "So. The answer?" "." "I will fuking kill you." C said bloodthirst dwarf. "Oh wow. I''m scared." "I guess you still don''t realize the situation you are in." "So. I guess I will- " "WAIT!" C shouted the dwarf. "." "You fuking devils. Fine!" "I will do it." (.)n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om (PERFECT!) C though both the doctor and the necromancer. "I will fuking do it! But I fuking dare you to hurt anybody! You hear me?!" "Oh don''t worry." "As long as you work obediently for us, nobody will get hurt." "But just so you know, the bombs I nted in the city can be remotely detonated." "Meaning even now I can blow them up and have the gue spread around the city." "So as long as you don''t run away or work against us, the hostages and the city will be safe." "But just even try anything funny and you know will happened." "Got it? ".." "Yes." "I will follow your orders." "" "Good." "Its pleasure working with you Evilin." C said doctor while patting the furious dwarf head. Chapter 64 – Necromancer base. After making the dwarf "Cooperative", we now had a problem. As mentioned before, I fallowed the necromancer through his tracks as well as found out the poorly made fake wall that hid his passage. Even if I didn''t found it, it would be still matter of time before the guards would have found it. And going back to the city and covering up the exists is out of the question, since the guards maybe already checking out the sewers. I straight up doubt that ce is filled with brainless idiots and wouldn''t check the sewers. The exit of the tunnel is nowhere near our current hiding spot, but the city will be aware that the dwarf had left the city and was in this forest. They may start making search parties in the forest and if yers start getting here, oh boy. This will get annoying. However, the necromancer had already a n to move out into hisboratory. He was more prepared than I though. Well, that was bit obvious. This ce doesn''t have any workshop or anything like that in here, so even with the cksmith hammer and other tools, it won''t work with the rest of the stuff like anvil, furnace and all other stuff. But I got to say. Damn! That dwarf tools are fuking awesome! They are epic rarity items and the hammer is unique rarity one and strong one at that. I can''t even wield that hammer with my sses and level. I really want that hammer for myself. But the dwarf will need it and the necromancer wouldn''t like me taking it. Anyway, we left the abandoned mine that the necromancer was using as his temporarily base and headed straight towards the necromancer true base. I though his base would be somewhere even deeper in this forest where there would be monster that can even fuck me. But no? Actually, it turns out his base was beneath the abandoned mines. Huh. He had a secret passage in the abandoned room that was used to hold the dwarf inside. The wooden walls of that room were put by the necromancer and the wall on the left can be removed, revealing a hidden path. Okay I even didn''t noticed at all that thing being a hidden passage. He made it extremely well. Not only that, nobody would have expected the room where the captive was held to be the entrance of the hidden base. I got to say, he kind of surprised me. Anyway, we cleared up the mine and entered his "Real" base. "." (It''s arge underground space, huh?) (It''s not like it''s made out of bricks like some sort of dungeon, but it''s still well made.) (I''m honestly surprised.) (Not only that There is even more of those armored wearing skeletons in here.) (Damn.) (If I fought him head on, I don''t think I would have won.) (Well. There is also this guy, but he isn''t ready yet.) (Not only him, but I''m also producing sewer other deadly chimeras.) (Still. Would that be enough?) (The bear rabbit is extremely deadly.) (It possess speed, defense and attack powers.) (And it would definitely rip apart those skeletons.) (The problem are those weird mutated ones. They are much stronger than of those just armor wearing ones.) (That guy He isn''t weakling. I honestly doubt I would win against him now.) (But. His back is turned against me now. If I use "That" . He isn''t undead so a proper hit may be able to kill him.) (.) (No.) (Not yet.) (The timing isn''t right yet.) (Also he is probably still on the guard against me and everything, so my assassination attempt may end up in failure.) "Here dwarf." "This room will be your resting area." C said the necromancer. "And here will be your workce." The necromancer opened the door revealed a well build underground workshop. "" (Huh Nice.) (This isn''t some make shift one, but a proper one I guess that guy really wants 100% of the sess of the dwarf making the artifact.) "." "I get that you want me to create artifact and everything, but you better tell me know what the hell do you want me to make." C said the dwarf. "I cannot make something without proper materials or may need specific tools that you may not have here." "Fine." The man walked towards the table that was inside the room while the dwarf and the doctor fallowed close behind. "Here." "I want you to create this." "." (Is this. A heart?) C though Phantasia while observing the blueprint. "." "An artifact in a form of a heart. But it doesn''t look like normal artificial heart." C said the dwarf. "Yea." "It not only need to be able rece real heart, but It also needs to be able channel as well as produce rough necrotic energy as well as have an ability to grow with the user- " "Wait, wait, wait, wait." "You want me to make a heart that can function like real heart AND possess ability to channel and produce rough necrotic mana AND an ability to evolve?" "How stupid are you?!" "A rough necrotic mana is mana of the death element!" "You want me to create a tool that can act as LIVING ORGAN while possessing a MANA OF UNDEAD ELEMENT THAT IS ALSO CALLED THE CORPSE ELEMENT!" "A mana about corpse and undead!" "And on top of it all, an ability to grow?!" "Sorry, but how stupid are you?! Did you even though this n through?! Do you have ANY idea how absurd your n sounds like?!" "." "I got to agree with the dwarf." "An artificial heart that can deal with the necrotic mana as part of user body? This is bit crazy and even if dwarf would create something like that, wouldn''t you just die?" "It would make bit of sense if you were undead or something, but you are not. Unless you are aiming to be one like some sort of lich." "No." "I don''t n on bing undead myself. Nor I n for the heart to have an ability to turn me into an undead. I want to be the living being and have this heart inside my LIVING body." "Then what? The necrotic energy that fused with your heart would act like poison and would kill you, even if you are necromancer." "For crying out loud. I did some research regarding the necromancy and the necro mana and I can see how badly this can end up." "Then- " "Just let me fuking finish!" C said extremely annoyed necromancer. "The heart won''t kill me if it bes part of me. Not like a part of my organs, but a part of me as whole." "Simply put, it will mutate me and evolve in the sense." "I won''t get turned into undead once the heart would go inside me and instead it would improve me, changing my body from inside and allowing the necrotic mana to be made and function inside my body." "I was researching this stupid thing for a long time and I know it is possible. I even used someb rats as well as some talented craftsman and proven that it is possible." "However, there are few problems." "The first is obviously the heart itself. It need special materials, so it cannot be made with some random iron or white iron." "Not only that, the craftsman crafting talent need to quite high as well." "So that why I needed this guy specifically and nobody below since they probably wouldn''t able to make the heart." "Andsty is the research." "I tested it on the living beings, but not humanoid beings like humans, elves and dwarfs." "So, the heart need to be specially adjusted and those fuckers I used before were not up the task." "So, beside myself, I need a skilled craft master to create the blue print that should work as well as the testing models." "." "Wait." C said doctor. "You said you used the heart, well inferior version on it on theb rats, right?" "But if you are thinking of kidnaping people, I''m saying straight up give up." "Kidnaping people in the current stat is straight up suicide." "Don''t worry." "We will be using the undeads as the test subjects." "The heart special ability allows it to be used by both undeads and living, giving different effects to the each." "But if it works on the undeads, then it should on the humanoid species." "The problem however is still with adjustments and its not easy at all. I tried alone." "Still, we have some data and everything, so we don''t necessary need to do it from scratch." "." "Good." C said doctor. (I thought I would have needed to kill him now.) (I need the dwarf trustter on when I rescue him, so killing innocent people for the experiment was out of questions.) (I would have to either dwarf or the necromancer.) (Still A heart that can make you an being that handles a necrotic mana?) (I still don''t know much about the magic and everything, but when I did little research about the magic in the Dawn city library, I found out there exist different type of manas as well as well as mana types.) (I don''t know much and still don''t understand, but take this for example.) (Humans don''t have any elemental mana, but they can use their mana to use fire magic.) (However the fire elemental mana is straight up mana of fire and it would make way stronger resource for casting a fire spell. Not only that, manas can have different type of natures, but that is quite weird and I still didn''t read enough about it. I only know where is non type, natural, demonic, holy and stuff, but didn''t really dived into it since I find out that I cannot even use it anyway.) (Anyway, the items can contain some elements and they can give different effects and results depending on what you use on crafting. I even tested it myself and confirm that it is possible to create equipment with some elemental boosting power.) (For example: The mage staff can either increase fire element power or the water element power, if you used water element based materials OR fire element based materials. I even made those kind of items myself, for example the giant sewer rat materials had poison element in them.) (There are also magic tools, for example like the everyday tools that use magic to operate or for example some of my alchemy tools I use have special magic engravings. (If you are cksmith or alchemist you will run into elemental materials sooner orter if not from get go depending on your starting location.) (Honestly, crafting alone was fun, but the elemental mana did gave a nice mix. It straight up gives you way more possibles.) (Not only the elements, but the crafting process and tools as well.) (There are many different tools and ways of crafting as well as the fact that you can use them together and there is also the fact that this world have many different materials with each of their own characterizes as well as ups and downs and depending on how you make it, you can make pretty interesting stuff. Man... I really like the crafting in here.) (But anyway. There is definitely a BIG reason why the necromancer want to have that kind of heart inside his body.) (I don''t know how exactly that heart would work nor what effect it could have. It could make him way stronger necromancer, like some sort of pseudo lich or it may be allows him hold some sort special power. I need to do bit research about the mana and other stuff by the look of things in order to maybe understand his goal.) (As for creating that bizarre object. It seem that the necromancer is quiet bit confided and he also said he did few test already that worked a bit... And the dwarf seem to be already thinking about something while holding that blueprint.) (Is it possible to create this heart thing? And if so, what it will be?) (It honestly would be a good thing if could-) "!" (Wait. Hm.Oh.) "" "Fuck it." C said doctor. "Do you mind if I help out?" "?" "What do you mean?" C asked necromancer. "It''s just like I said." "I will help out since you may requite an additional pair of hands instead of those brainless undeads." "I''m bit of craftsman myself so I can help out a bit." "Not only that, I need to make sure that the dwarf won''t do anything funny. We maybe hold the people of the city hostage with the gue, but that doesn''t mean we had enved his mind. He may try to do something like for example messing with the artifact intentionally or maybe other stuff." "It''s better if I keep a watch on him alongside you." "And the sooner we are done with this the better." "You don''t mind it?" "." "Fine." C said the necromancer. "More hands we have the better and its even better if you are craftsman." "Okay. But I will need to have time of my own and will probably leave the base often. I need to keep my base in the city operational or that will be quiet problematic for me and in turn you." "Fuck you. Fine. I''m fine with you leaving and going out. But we won''t be waiting for you when we will be experimenting and everything." "I''m fine with that." C replied doctor. "" (GOOD!) (If I research that "Heart" with them, I could use that knowledge for my cyborg modification knowledge.) (Not only that, this guy knowledge may help me AND the dwarf knowledge may also help me grow.) (I will steal your knowledge and research for my own gain.) (Still. If I do this way a lot of time will definitely pass I mayg again in terms of leveling up. No.) (It''s worth it.) (And I will make sure to get everything bit of juicy knowledge and skill from you while also using you two to improve my own crafting skill.) (The necromancer may realize my intention, but he doesn''t have choice since I''m needed in order to keep the dwarf obedient.) (Not only that, he isn''t wrong. The more hands the better and not only that, we need to finish the heart as soon as possible, since even if this ce is so well hidden, it doesn''t mean it still cannot be discovered.) (The time limit is unknown and I can also gain the necromancer trust by giving him more support.) (Not only that, I also need to take care of my workshop and earn money so I can keep it operating.) (There is also my cyborg research.) (Those current hands of mine aren''t perfect and are still prototypes.) (It will be a lot of work But it will be worth in the end!)n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Chapter 65 – Not a great start. Me, necromancer and the dwarf began our research on the "Unliving Heart". The first part was finding a right form for the heart so it can be operational. We can use undeads, so it''s an up. However,...Our first few prototypes wereplete failures. We did used cheap materials and everything, so it was expected not to work, but we needed the research data. And oh boy. It was chaotic. The necromancer research did helped us a bit, but we were still encountering way too many problems even with that. We not only needed to make an artificial heart, but a special one that would pump a necrotic mana through the body as well as mutate and evolve the body. Well, this is obviously not easy, since we need to create a heart that also possess a power of the undead and corpse mana A.K.A necrotic mana and make sure it doesn''t kill him. But. Em. We killed some of the undeads with the failure hearts we made. "." "This isn''t working." C said doctor. "Agree." C said the dwarf. "The energy output alone is going haywire nonstop." "There is also the question regarding the materials that the heart is made out of. They are not suitable." "It won''t work at all." C said the doctor. "We need better materials. Metals as well as mana crystal and mana stones. Also, we need more specific parts for example monster parts as well as some stuff rted to alchemy." "We straight up are unable to gain any form of results or data." "We can keep trying using these cheap stuff. But how long it would take us to get any form of results." "." "Fuck. I hate to say it, but you two are right." C said the necromancer. "." "Hey Doctor." "Yes?" "You have your base in the city, right?" "Can you somehow buy the necessary materials for us?" "." "I can, since I''m quiet "Friendly" there and people trust me." "But you do realize it will be pricy." "Do you believe I have an fortune lying around?"n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "And don''t you even fuking suggest for me to go around and steal the materials, since it would straight up rm people." (Well, I''m quiet rich and I''m still earning money.) (But I need money for my own experiments and I don''t know how much I would spend while experimenting.) (Especially those cyborg modification.) "We cannot steal or make trouble, since it would both rm people and some smart people may realize that maybe the person who steals the materials is maybe rted to that guy kidnaping." "In short. We cannot steal and need to just buy them like normal people." "" "Do you have any money?" ". I have." C replied the necromancer." "Honestly, I was thinking of getting materials through more "Illegal connections"." "But I guess it would be cheaper if you buy it legally." "Yea. But there is another question now." C said Phantasia. "Do we need more specific materials? For example, alchemy materials or the monster materials?" "True. Metals alone won''t work. We need alchemy materials as well." C said the dwarf. "Making artificial heart in the first ce isn''t easy nor is it cheap." "I don''t know what sort of experiment you did on small animals like the rats and those birds like you said you did, but the bigger body need way different heart and there is also the case of humanoid being like humans, elves and dwarfs having way more mana than those animals. Even non mages have more mana than as well asmon folks who are just farmers." "We need to do a lot of adjustment and tests before we try to make final product." "And to make it all more annoying, killing or stealing is out of the table since it would ultimately fucked us quiet badly." C said Phantasia. "." "Fuck." C said the necromancer. "Fuck indeed." C said the doctor. "Okay. Hm. Shit. Okay. How about this." "You will go in the city and secure some of the materials while I will go and hunt monsters around for their body parts as well as look for any alchemy materials." C said the necromancer. "But what if somebody spots you?" "Unlike you, people of this city know me, but you?" "A total stranger who was randomly in the hunting grounds while the city is in chaos after this guy disappearance?" "Not only that, the city often do patrols on the hunting grounds in order to make sure that their mines are safe." "There is a good chance they would spot you in the process." ''Sigh'' "I guess I will hunt monsters myself." (I really don''t want to do it, since I want to spend as time as possible with these two to steal their knowledge and skills.) (But at this rate we won''t have any results at all.) (Not only that, but it won''t be long before they check sewers if not, they are doing as we speak.) (To make sure that the dwarf is safe and sound and undamaged, it''s for the best to work with the necromancer.) (I really want to assassinate him right now, but there is still use for him.) (Not only that, his guard is still high up against me. I need him to trust me even more.) (Damn. This will be not only more time consuming than I thought, but also more annoying.) And so, we straight up divided our task. The dwarf and the necromancer are focused on the blue print right now as well as some experiment while I''m the errand boy to collect the necessary materials. However, the annoying part is that my level is too low and since I cannot use the gue not the chimeras right now, since if I would I may end up exposing myself. So, that only leaves the cyborg. I can hide existence of my cyborg body by having it look like an armor and weapon, but the form changing ability is out of question unless I''m alone. So, with that in mind, I need to improve those ws of mine. The necromancer has gave me a lot of money, but I said to him that it''s better for me to buy the materials bit by bit and not everything from get go. If I buy too much stuff at once, it would straight up look suspicious. Not only that, we don''t know what yet we need to make the heart. We may need some more special materials. Anyway, besides helping these guys out, I also need to improve myself in both terms of levels and equipment. There are 2 main reasons to get stronger. First, I need to make sure I''m strong enough if by any chance ites down to me having to fight the necromancer. The second reason is for the material gathering. There maybe a chance they would want some higher quality materials that more dangerous monsters have. So, yea. I mean leveling up won''t bother me, since I mean. Levels and everything. But the problem did popped up in between all of that leveling up and getting materials. They discovered the sewers passage that the necromancer made. And now they fuking know the dwarf is outside the city. Nice. The only positive thing about the situation is that the necromancer base is located quiet far away from the passage, so they won''t find it anywhere near the passage. However, for safer side I told the necromancer to hide his undead inside the base. If people spot his undeads who are guarding the entrance of the base would straight up look suspicious. There are some undead monsters in the mountains, butmon. An armored skeletons defending a random abandoned mine? Who the fuck wouldn''t that this thing is suspicious like hell? So yea. The city will definitely will make announcement soon or maybe post a quest. Well, they did posted the quest when I checked the adventure guild, but this time they may give information where possible the dwarf is. But they definitely cannot use the entire city to check the mountains. Reason? I mean, first reason is quite obvious: Is the dwarf even near the city any longer? What if the culprit just used the mountains as his/her cover so they can leave unnoticed? They don''t know if the dwarf is even still here. The second reason is danger. The mountains are full of vicious monsters. If they did that kind of big search on them, then there will be a lot casualties. Unless they hire yers, who can die and then resurrect. But again, there is not a lot of yers here yet. But I cannot let my guard down. If the city has a smart person, they mayunch an investigation on the possible hiding spots where the necromancer is hiding and one of the most suspicious location is: Abandoned mine that the necromancer is using as his base. So, there is a pretty decent chance of the necromancer getting busted. So, yea. We are kind of safe right now. But there is also a chance that we may all get fucked big time at any moment. . Wow. We really need to hurry or we will be fucked for real. Chapter 66 – Unliving Heart – Stopped yet again / Using way more expensive materials for our test seemed to be best course of action. It was bit pricy though and not only that, we were even forced to use much better quality monster materials than before. It did hurt me a bit since I won''t be using those materials for myself or sell them for money, but oh well, I was getting these bastards teachings for free and they were quite helpful for my own research. But anyway, the research regarding the "Unliving Heart" was going way better now. We were finally making some progress now. However, it wasn''t instance. Creating an artificial heart isn''t easy thing and not only that, but it need to serv multiple functions. The unliving heart needs to be special if we want to give it an ability to grow alongside the user as well as handle the necrotic elemental mana. And this is bit problematic. Unlike the regr mana, the elemental mana possess special characteristics of its own. The necro mana is about corpse and undeads. And we fuking need to create a heart that has it A living organ that possess mana of the nonliving. Yea. It''s quiet even worse than poison no matter how we look at it. In order to seed we need to have the heart and ability mutate and adapt the user of the heart so they can handle the necrotic mana. The positive thing about that experiment is that we can use undead as the test subjects. The bad thing is that we killed some of the undead with our experiments. Yea. That should not have happened. Em... So, remember how I said we were making a good progress? Well, we were making some after switching to better materials unlike before when we were using cheap stuff. But well. We may or may not had encounter yet another and this time way bigger problem. "Yes YES! YES!" The artificial heart died while making fart noises. "" "FUCK!" C shouted necromancer. "Why the fuck it doesn''t work?!" C said the necromancer while smashing the table. ''Well, unlike your previous experiment, we need way bigger heart and a heart that can handle way more mana than vermin AND it also need even more energy conversion and all other bullshit." C said annoyed dwarf. "I maybe an extremely famous cksmith and everything, but it''s not like ideas just pop up in my head instantly." "I fuking need to put work into that and have some knowledge already, for example from previous experiences or by doing experiments." "Yea. He is right. We have somewhat good materials for creating the heart structure, well for the prototype one that will probably kill you if you put in inside you." "So, we need a powerful mana stone or gem in short." C said the doctor. "Pretty much." C replied the dwarf. "And not only that, you need some quiet good stuff that is rted to the necro element." "Well The only positive thing is that we made at least some progress. But. Now we slowed down a bit. Yea. Fuck." Phantasia gave hand signal for the necromancer to talk in private. The necromancer nodded his head and walked out of the room, leaving behind the dwarf. "What? I''m already pissed already, so just make it quick." C said necromancer. "Yea. You won''t like what I''m about to say at all." "Oh god." C said the necromancer, already realizing that he will get probably even more annoyed. "The adventurer guild has announcement that the dwarf maybe hiding in the mountains." "But they still didn''t confirmed if there are any leads or anything like that for him being in the mountains OR that he was seen in different settlements." "They are panicking more, but this also makes them more desperate for crying out loud and that means it will be harder time avoiding them." "Not only that, they may do some desperate moves, like a big search where they don''t care about their wellbeing if they grow desperate enough. They won''t do it now, since casualties and everything, but I don''t know what they may do." "We need to speed up it all or you can say your heart bye bye forever." "Fuck. Okay. I have a n." "One of the mountain near here is quite special." "You see, it''s filled with undeads." "And- " "Yea, yea. I know about that ce. I looked it into it in the town." "That ce is extremely rich in mana and not only that, the necrotic mana." (Honestly, I got quiet curios about that ce since I randomly found out that ce has nts with the necro element. I kind of thought it was kind of impossible, since when I tried to raise the weed dragon as undead it failed.) (But apparently those nts aren''t undead and just contain the necrotic mana and that it. Kind of dissipating. I wonder if there is a nt that is maybe undead... Or maybe a nt that act like parasite and turn people into undeads? Oh, that would have been interesting.) "Anyway, the monsters there are mostly undeads or an mutates that are extremely dangerous to the point its consider one of the most dangerous zones near this city." "But there is an small problem." "My level is too fuking low." "And not only that, I cannot use my specialties, since I''m an fuking terrorist with wanted poster after my head and there is also the fact that they are looking for that fuking dwarf, meaning that I cannot just use my main powers out in an open for second or two or I will be fucked and that means you will be fucked." "And if I fuking focus on leveling up alone and trying to get as strong as possible without my main powers, that means I won''t be helping you out and the work will get slowed down by a lot." "Not only that, it''s not like I can get suddenly stronger in just one day." (Well, I kind of can depending on what kind of modification I do with my own body.) "." "SHIT! FUCK!" C shouted the necromancer while hitting the wall. "Fine! Just do it!" ". Okay. But what will you do in meantime?" C asked Phantasia. "Well We can try what we can and maybe find any form of development regarding the unliving heart, but as I much as I hate to admit it, we also need to start using higher grade mana stones and mana gems for our future experiments." "But- "n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "I FUKING KNOW THAT IT WILL FUKING TAKE TIME!" "But since I''m stuck here and can''t go out, you have to fuking do it." "I don''t fuking want to ry on you that much, but by the look of FUKING things I have straight no option what so ever." ". Okay." (Dammit.) C though Phantasia. (It''s not like I don''t understand, but we just straight up dealt with one problem only to have a way bigger one suddenly appear when we were just walking?) (We are finally starting to have any progress regarding the unliving heart, but if we don''t do anything regarding the energy, then we will be stuck AGAIN. For crying out loud.) (Honestly, I''M considering really betraying that necromancer right now, but I got to admit, his teaching regarding the necromancy and the necro element are GOOD. Not only that, the application of it when ites to crafting, its far too good for me to pass by.) (There is also the fact that I''m undead myself, so I maybe be able to use his knowledge for my advantage.) (Fuck He is way too valuable to me alive.) (Still There is also problem with the city guards. How the hell do I deal with them?) (Should I do the same thing I did with Min city by nting the red hearing in order to give them false trail?) (Yea. Wait No, no, no. Shit.) (Making people aware of the doctor being here may end uping back to bite my entire ass offter on.) (There is also the fact that they may find out about the first incident where the doctor went on the rampage while everybody was investing the mess he made in the sewers. They may not fall for that trick again.) (For fuck sake.) () (No.) (Putting any form of fake leads or submitting any misleading actions would only make us suffer in the end.) (Reason?) (Well, if they discover them, they may realize that the culprit is trying to mislead them and if so, there is an good chance that the culprit is still nearby.) (Any form of sabotage may give them idea that the dwarf is nearby and that they still have hope and in turn they would strengthen their search even more.) (And for MY n to seed, I cannot make any big mess or anything like that. So, no genocide and stuff.) (Fuck... As soon as we started seeing any light we then get hit with cold and hard reality right in the face.) (Still, the hope is not exactly lost.) (Even without the chimeras and gues, I''m still somewhat strong.) (But the problem though are my mechanical body parts.) (They are not perfect or anything like that, so I''m some hot shit with those mechanical arms.) (.) (Fuck it.) (I don''t like this arrangement, but I need to do it.) (The knowledge both of these bastards posses are something things I need.) (It may halter my research and everything, but if I don''t do it then the research we are doing right now won''t get anywhere and my own research will suffer tremendously.) (.) (Well, I shouldn''tin like a whining bitch and should just focus on hunting.) (The more I dy it, the higher chance of us getting fucked bes.) Chapter 67 – Trying to upgrade my arms. So, with little choice if not any, I had no choice but to focus all my effort on hunting and leveling up. Yea. Shit. The leveling up was quite fast though, its thanks to my extremely high [Taming Mastery] and [Necromancy Mastery] that I had to raise for my chimeras. I can control a bunch of monsters or have some strong ones aiding me. However, more monsters means that I would be getting less EXP, since I''m sharing my EXP with the tamed monsters. Still, these monsters do help out a lot and make hunting monsters way faster, so its overall worth it. However, to have max benefit I''m only using my elite monsters and so I tamed some of the strongest wild monster I could handle. Mountain Predator MantisC A giant praying mantis monster with extremely sharp, tough and long des for arms. High danger monster with high offensive power. Beside high offensive power, possess a very high defense as well as bit of agility, meaning that it can swing its des around fast and can somewhat dodge attacks. Its straight up a mini boss monster. Its rare monster and oh boy, they were stubborn like hell and it took me hell of a long time to tame even 1 of them. Still, thanks to my high [Taming Mastery] I was able to tame and add the mantis to my ranks. Honestly, I doubt I would have been able to tame even one if there would be other others yers around. I hunted one before and I need to say, their materials are extremely useful. Not only their des, but all parts of their bodies. Everything is useful and sells well. If there was more yers here, I doubt I would have chance of taming it without having other yers bother me. This thing is even more rare than red cobra monster. And oh boy, people were already fighting over the red cobras in the danger city. What would happened here? Anyway, with the mantis and some of my elite monsters we were able to hunt way faster than before. The undeads and the poison magic were also doing their things, so there was a huge progress.N?v(el)B\\jnn I was leveling up at steady rate, but not enough. The mountain that is filled with the necrotic element and undead monsters is quiet high level danger zone and I''m still not good enough to take it on. To give me even more annoyance, the city is now openly recruit people for the search party and thanks to the ore merchant Mario, I found out that they are getting even more desperate and they are hiring even more guards. Now they not have put way more defense in the city, but have strengthen their search for the dwarf. The time is ticking. Shit. [Current location C Phantasia house located inside the city.] (Fuck me. What do I do?) (The mantis did the trick and the red cobra recently evolved to the hunter red cobra.) (But I need more power!) (We are still well hidden and everything, but if they discover by any chance the necromancer base then we are royally fucked.) "." "Can I somehow made these things better?" - though Phantasia while looking at his hand. (The hidden function is more for a finisher and situation than as main weapon. Should I remove it and make room for something else?) "..." (No. The entire arms need to go and have different ability.) (I can somehow have them base form of normal arms, since in order not to have two giant weapons sticking out of my body that straight up screams "Weird suspicious guy that is armed.".) "." "Mantis des?" "I still have those from the first mantis I killed." (Should I have my arm ability to turn into those mantis des? That could work out extremely well with my fighting style.) (.) (But I could really make it look monster like. I could make it so they would stick out from my wrist and transform my hands. It could make me somewhat look like I''m wielding two swords like normal person.) (.) (But I really want to make those creepy arms I had imagined before. Yea those would be creepy and scary, but deadly as fuck.) (However I would need several of those mantis des.) (What do I do?) (Do I use those mantis des now? But I really want to make those fuking armster one. They would be glorious!) (Hm. Can I make something different instead?) (That mantis is a rare monsters and finding it does takes some time, so, if possible, I would like not to use those des yet, but if it depends on the situation, I would have no choice but to do it.) "." (Crossbow? It should have way more power than normal crossbow. But how would I reload it? I could maybe make some sort of reload mechanism, but I would then need to put crossbow bolts in anyway once I run out of ammo.) (How about a gun? Like a cannon or shotgun?) (.) (It could work. But I would need to prepare ammunition as well as try different things since I never made gun before in this world. Speaking of guns, I still have that mayor gun I had stollen from his corpse. I kind ofpletely forgotten about it.) (Well, I can''t use it now anyway, its power is way too weak, so yea. I should just smelt it or maybe sell it.) "Okay What next options... Blunt weapon? It will be useful against undeads, especially against skeletons." "But now I''m dealing with beasts and insect monsters. Those insects have hard shells as well as exoskeletons, so blunt weapon would also be more beneficial than de." "But what about the beast monsters. Should I have each arm have different weapon?" "Hm Simple idea, but it should work." (I could also have my arms change forms into same weapon while myself different type of weapons while using my hands.) (It could also work. But the question what the second arm or the normal weapons be?) (The blunt weapon is way to go and I think I should have my arm change into it. But the second weapon that would be good against beasts Should I go with crossbows?) (Not the ones that can fire one after another, but a single shot type that have a lot of power.) (But then I would have to make small pause after each shot to reload. However, I have monsters that fight at frontlines and don''t have any good long range fighting once. The hunter red cobra have a long range poison skill, but only 1. It''s good, but it doesn''t do a lot of damage on impact and instead apply strong poison effect.) (Hm. I have my poison and the necromancy offensive magic, so I do have means of fighting at long range, so I don''t really need long range weapon anymore like crossbow, unless I make very strong one, for example by fusing it with my body in order to make it stronger.) (However, the [Brawler] ss increases my power of my body type attacks stronger, but that doesn''t necessary means all of my cyborg body parts will count.) (For example the crossbow part, I tested it out and it didn''t worked.) (.) "." "Oh wait. Shit I''m dumb." "Undeads there should have resistance to poison and necro element. Shit." "I still need the range weapon in the end." "." "Okay. So, I need range weapon in the end, but I also need a close range weapon." "Blunt weapon is best option as close range weapon. But what about to long range one." "Hm." "Should I make special crossbow heads? The ones that would do blunt type damage." "It could work. It should work." "But what about the close range weapon?" "Hammers or maces?" "." (I have an option of having double arm forms. One arm form. Two different arms. Or having form change arms alongside carrying normal weapons.) (The weapon carrying is definitely off the table, since my mechanical arms will definitely weigh on their own and my cyborg modification have anyway the weight reduction, so it''s better to focus on my arms alone.) (And I don''t necessary need two same copies of the same weapons in each arm. I can have one long range weapon in one arm and one close range weapon in another.) (Then there would also be no need to make double form arms.) "Each arm having different weapon seem to be the correct choice." "Crossbow with blunt bolt and the second arm. Hm. Should I go with hammer?" "" "Oh wait. How about frail? A one with long chain?" "I could turn it maybe in long range weapon like that and then retract the chain when I want it to be close range weapon." (I could hide the long chain in my entire mechanical arm.) (As for my hand form. Yea This should be good. It wouldn''t requite any big changes or anything like that, meaning that the weight limit would be reduced a bit. It will be bit heavy even without using chain, but it should be hard hitting weapon and it should also work with [Brawler] ss.) "" "Yea. This seem like the best option. It need some adjustments here and there, but it should work the way I want it to There should small problems at the start since the chain need to be durable enough so they, but I would need to put every single point I had into strength to deal with it." "And I honestly don''t need chains yet, since I only would need long range weapon when I''m strong enough for the undead mountain." "It would need some changes beside adding chains, but it should be fine." (Well then, now I know what to make, let get straight to the work.) Chapter 68 – Undead Mountains It took bit of time, but my new arms were finished and were ready for action and oh boy, they were interesting. [Mountain Parasite Ant] The group of three giant ant monsters rushed towards Phantasia and one of the ants tried to bite him, but then Phantasia straight up punched the ant right in the head, straight up cracking it and making the ant back off while squalling in pain. Phantasia then rushed at the ant and used skill [Power Fist] to then punch the ant right in the head again and this time crush its head, finishing off the ant monster. The monster head was easily crushed by the Phantasia metallic fist.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The second ant tried attack Phantasia, but Phantasia noticed the monster approaching and this time instead of attacking, he instead used his arm as a shield and have it block the attack. "?!" C the ant monster tried to bite into Phantasia arm, only to realize it couldn''t do it. "You like steel you fuck?!" Phantasia opened his hand inside the monster mouth. "[Acid de]." Phantasia fired an acid des inside the monster mouth, straight up filing its inside with acid and having a projectile made out acid straight up destroy ant insides, instantly killing it in the end. Thest ant who tried to attack Phantasia from behind ended up stopping after Phantasia suddenly turned around and spotted the ant. "" The ant decided to screw it and try to run away but Phantasia straight up catched up to it and began punching it to death until it stopped moving. After killing the ant monster, Phantasia retracted his fist from the monster bashed out head and revealing his new arms that consisted of the big and thick headed hands and fingers that were also had spiked knuckles. "Good." (Those new arms of my aren''t really ws, but instead heavy gauntlets that are straight up pair of hammers. The design is pretty simple, but extremely effective.) (They deal nice blunt damage and can also use the [Brawler] skills without any problems.) (. Huh. I wonder how the hell weapon skills would work with it?) (I mean, if I had my arms be a weapon like sword while also still having an arm form, like for example each finger being giant sword de, then would I be able to use sword skills with that kind of arm? That is interesting thought.) (Anyway, these new arms function way better than I though. The leveling up speed had also increased drastically thanks to them.) (And now I can finally challenge that ce!) (. There is also that necromancer who straight up is losing his shit already and is bitching why the hell I''m not there already.) (But its not like don''t understand him.) (While hunting around, I have been spotting more and more guards as well as soldiers This isn''t good.) (I can kill few guards and make it look like monsters did that, but I obviously cannot kill a lot of them, since it would straight up say that its not doing of a monster but somebodies doing.) (I know that we are well hidden, but again, they find our base, then we are 100% fucked and that necromancer may use the dwarf as the hostage and may even kill him.) (For my n to seed, I need to help the necromancer and the dwarf finish making the heart.) (Welp, at least I added those chain function already and everything, so I''m ready for that ce already.) (A lot of time had passed and too much if I may add. I need to get going NOW!) After having prepared enough as well as create a new weapons that should give me advantage over the undead monsters. And oh boy, I was stressful. This wasn''t like before when I had level 70 against level 90 monsters. After level 100, the difference in power between each level are now way more visible. I maybe a monster and everything in term of strength, but the problem is that I cannot use two of my main weapons. I can only use my cyborg modification and if somebody ask question, I can just say that it was special made weapon. But anyway, the yers aren''t the only things that are getting much stronger after level 100, monsters and NPCs are as well. So, yea The difficulty got increased and that is bit problematic and everything. Oh well, it can''t be that- [Few momentster.] "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT?!" [Grey Fur Orangutan Necromancer] A grey furred orangutan wearing a bone mask and carrying and stuff was raising the undead orangutan skeletons from the ground. (Okay This is new A necromancer monster that can straight up raise undeads. That''s pretty interesting for FUKING first monster I encounter here.) The skeleton orangutan began running towards Phantasia. In response Phantasia detached his fist from his arm and made his arm hang around by chain. Phantasia began swinging his arm around and in turn, swinging his chained fist around before then taking a swing and sending his chained arm hammer straight at the monsters. The skeleton on the furthest right ended up getting hit by the hammer fist on chain and straight up all other skeletons right next to it ended up being smashed to pieces. "." (Em. What?) (I mean sure that arm is hard hitting and everything, but I don''t think they should have gotten one shoted.) (Oh maybe because they are summon-) "?!" Phantasia quickly jumped away as a dark magic projectile came his way and create a small explosion in the spot where Phantasia was a moment ago. "" "Okay He can summon minions and have some nasty ck magic attacks." "That''s Huh, its simr to mybo." The orangutan began smashing his bone staff against the ground over and over, raising new skeleton orangutan to his side. (So, it will keep summoning those weak undeads and it will also keep it distance while firing those savage dark magic attacks.) (Simple, but effective considering that small explosion just now.) (This guy may have other tricks up his sleeve, but-) Phantasia retracted his chain back into his arm and reattaching back his hand. (I should still fuck up that monkey ass!) "?" Suddenly two more orangutans jumped to the orangutan monster that Phantasia was facing. Both of the orangutans were also necromancers and began summoning their skeleton orangutans. "." "You know I should have seen thising." "I''m probably the first yer to came here and everything, so it''s quite obvious that this ce is filled with monsters to the brim. But why the fuck 3 necromancers from get go?" (Okay I guess I may be slightly fucked.) The undead rushed at Phantasia, forcing him to bring out his own monsters to his side and began smashing the skeleton left and right. The orangutans were firing their dark magic, hitting the Phantasia monsters while also forcing the doctor to block or dodge the attack and then counter attack with his own magic or used his hammer arm to smash the monster head. The battle counties for some time, but in the end all of the skeletons and the necromancer beasts ended up being in. "Okay This was bit Refreshing start?" (Those necromancer beast were quite strong and they also gave a lot of EXP.) (But. They were extremely annoying.) (They could fire those dark bomb attacks non stop and could also raise those weak skeletons over and over again. They can be easily killed, but they are distraction and getting in the fuking way!) "Jezus...Still, I got this at least." [Necrotic Element Mana Crystal] (The necromancer was right, this ce does posses materials for our research.) (But fuck me. The difficulty of this ce seems way higher than I thought. AND THOSE WERE THE FIRST MONSTERS I ENCOUNTER.) (Shit. I though it would be smooth sailing and all, but it seems I will encounter problems in here There is also the fact that I need to gather as many different materials as possible and possible look into an underground vein containing mana gems, but where the hell I would find one? And how the hell I would dig it out?) (Fuck me If I could only use my chimeras at least, it would have made work way easier But there is a solid chance of the patrol appearing at any moment and I already encounter some while hunting. Fuck me.) (Oh this will be extremely annoying.) After that Well unwee greeting I ended up realizing that this ce is quiet problematic. I was somewhat hunting Without dying yet. By the way, I though this ce would be filled with undeads, but no. There are also beast monsters like the garaba and insect monsters. For example, death fly. An insect monster that eats corpse and shot acid. And for some reason dropped the necrotic element crystal? Why? Shouldn''t it drop poison one? The fuck? Well, there is also a weird beast sh undead monster called the dead bat. It''s pretty much a skull monster with flesh wings that hangs on the trees like a bat. It kind of look like those cheap toys for kids that are meant to scare people. They are weak But theyes in swarms and can be quiet annoying. They can deal shit tons of damage if you don''t deal fast enough with them, even my hunter red cobra ended up getting one sidedly beaten by them and that guy have a bit of defense and all. Shit. So, yea. Now I know why the hell people of that Dusk city calls it the most dangerous part of the mountains Still, it was worth it. I managed to secure a lot of materials and it did the thing. Our research was finally moving again. But of course, things can''t be this easy. We ARE making progress with the research and everything, but for the finished version we need even stronger stuff And that means I have to go even deeper into mountain and hunt the strongest monsters in order to obtain necessary materials to finish the unliving heart. So, yea, there is still a lot of work to do, but it may soon end. Well There is problem though. There are guards hanging around the necromancer base. They don''t know about, but the problem is that ce has only 1 exist and everything and I was forced to be sneaky in order not to get catched red handedly. Yea We maybe running out of time if any more guards start searching that area And this time for real. . OH, YOU CAN STRAIGH UP FUCK OFF! Why the hell now of all fuking times?! Seriously! Did they waited until I finally started hunting there?! I call that bullshit if that wasn''t nned at all by the A.I. That or my random shit luck had struck me again. And each time it does I usually end up screaming in anger since I would end up suffering a lot... Oh god. Yea. I really need to hurry and I mean now. Chapter 69 – Almost caught. {{Note from author.}} {Starting the next month, i will try to make updates daily. Sorry for anybody who had to wait for the chapters before.}} [Current location: necromancer base.] "Okay.!" "Holy shit. It worked." C said the necromancer while activating the heart inside the skeleton body. "The energy output and the performance is still not there, so it shouldn''t be able to rece real heart, there is also question of the energy transformation as well as the energy movement, but overall, we had moved a lot." C said the dwarf "Honestly, I was doubting it as well, considering how many failures we were making nonstop and how little progress we were doing, but at this rate it is possible." C said doctor. "Yea! We only need to do special adjustment as well as change the form as well, it should do the trick. But we also need stronger metals as well as materials with the stronger necrotic element, so- " "Get your ass out there and hunt, yea, yea. I get it." C said doctor. "." The necromancer and the doctor looked eyes at each other. Two man did not said anything and instead just nodded before doctor began walking away. (Okay. Good news and bad news.) (Good news: We may soon finally fuking finish that fuking heart after who knows how many days passed Well, the testing isn''t finished yet and everything so...Yea we need more time.) (Bad news, city is more affected by the dwarf disappearance and the things seem to be bit chaotic.) (I heard that the dwarf enemies.) (This is. Not good.) (I don''t want to get fuking catched yet, but the disappearance of the dwarf have started having some real nasty effect on the city. I even heard that the dwarf workshop was recently attacked and one of the guards working there with the dwarf disciple saw this as opportunity and tried to steal one of the dwarf masterpieces he was keeping in his workshop.) (They were catched red handedly and stopped, but damn. What the fuck is with that city?) (Theck of the presence of that fuking dwarf is affecting the city way more than I had though. Even necromancer this.) (EVEN THE DWARF WASN''T EXPECTING THIS.) ". What the fuck?" C said dwarf after hearing the current situation in city. (That''s what he said!) (Damn. Even he was not expecting it at all for the city to turn like this after he went missing.) (Honestly, he was kind of calling this information a bullshit at first, until he realize I wasn''t lying at all.) (Seriously. They are reacting like its an end of the world or something.) (Honestly, if they depend on one person that much, not a leader or a person of people, but a cksmith that does not lead or defend people, then I''m kind of. Starting to look down on the people on this ce. Like seriously, the fuck.) (If I were to bring the dwarf with me Would they straight up got on their knees and hail me as their savior?) (.) (Wow Yea I don''t want that. It would be both annoying and disgusting. I''m quite worried what they would do considering how they reacted so far.) (But, the n is a n unfortunately.) (Honestly, I think we were quite lucky.) (I mean, the number of yers getting here is quiet a lot and there is also the fact the search area is also quite big. Like I mean it. They area straight up spreading everywhere. I even heard that some guards even went and visited the nearby settlements to see if they can find any leads there.) (Anyway, I should get going.) Phantasia changed his equipment before then leaving the hidden base located in the abandoned mine. But while he was trying to leave it, he straight stopped suddenly. "" (I just fuking heard that!) (Somebody is in the cave?!) (. Footsteps Multiple. AND I THINK I HEAR VOICES?!) ". No." C said the male voice from afar. "Look. All I''m saying, how the hell nobody realized that there is a giant hole in the sewers AFTER the dwarf was kidnapped." C said the second voice. "." (Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit!) (Now of all fuking times the fuking patrol found this ce?! WHY?!) (Shit! What do I do?! Do I go back to the base and wait until they leave?!) (No wait!) (They may hear me walking and all other stuff.) (Shit! Shit! SHIT! SHITTTTT!) (What the fuck do I do?!) (Do I kill them?! This is a pretty dangerous area, so they may think that monsters killed them.) (But what if they decided to further investigate it?!) (There is also chance that there are some other people outside the cave that saw those peoplee in. SHIT!) "." "!" (Okay I maybe have a n Please fuking work.) "I get what you are saying and everything, but who the hell would though that tunnel was that long? It definitely took some time, so there is no way the culprit didn''t do anything to make the cave- " "Shhh!" C said the second guard. "Do you hear that?" "." "!" "Something is in here!" The two guards raised their guard as the sound of something approaching could be heard further in. Momentter, several silhouettes began slowly emerging from the dark. And among the silhouette, a humanoid begin was visible, before momentster, the guards saw the figure. "?" "Guards?" C said Phantasia. "Hold! Who the hell are you?!" C said the guard while pointing his spear at Phantasia. "Em. I''m adventurer known as wood mask." "?" "What is the adventurer like you doing here?" C asked the second guard. "And what the hell guards are here?" C replied Phantasia. "Don''t change subject! Why are you here?" "Looking for that dwarf. Seriously. You have posted that request to look for him everywhere." "So I had a though." "What if the culprit is using some caves or maybe mines as it''s his hideout." "It''s a quiet easy answer no matter how you look at it and stupid, but stupid enough to get overlooked." "So, I have been going though cave to cave as well as any mines and abandoned locations to look for the dwarf." "If you don''t trust me, here. I have even the dwarf search request issued by the adventurer guild with me and if you doubt me, you can take me to the city merchant district. They know me and can confirm my identity." "" The two guards looked nervously at each other, but calmed down after Phantasia ordered his monsters to stay back as well as putting away his crossbow. "." "So Did you find anything?" C asked the guard. "Well, I thought I did, but it turned out to be only wild monster." "I also though that this ce maybe a hidden base and the monster was tamed, but nope. I looked everywhere and even checked if that ce had hidden pathways or something like that, but fuking nope." "Honestly, are there any leads or hints or SOMETHING you guards had found?" "." "Sorry, but no. Its not like we can''t tell, but we really don''t have anything." "?!" "Hey! Why the hell are you telling him this?!" C said the other guard. "Oh shut up. There is no way we can hide it anyway and he would have discovered it anyway." "He is right." C said Phantasia. "The only public known thing is about that tunnel made in the sewers." "If the guards had anything, they would have made it public in order to calm down people a little, but nothing means nothing." "Honestly, there is a huge chance that the culprit had left long time ago and we are straight up searching in the wrong ce." "I quit." "I came here to develop myself as craftsman and wasn''t really aiming to be that cksmith pupil." "" "We should get going as well." C said the guard before turning away. "Fine." C said the other guard. The trio headed towards the exit in order to leave the abandoned mine. "" (HOLY SHIT! MY BULLSHIT HAD WORKED!) (I almost shitted myself right now.) (Good thing I came up with made up story in thest moment. Probably should have thought of story just in case before they anybody would have gotten here. Why the hell I didn''t do that?) (Anyway, I managed to dodge the bullet somewhat, but what if they decided to inspect this abandoned mine again?) (They may discover the necromancer hideout or may not. Either way, I don''t to take any chances. Its better to give any false informations and slow them down before But again, there is still a chance of them checking this ce again to make sure.) (Okay. I think I''m running out of time for real now. Let''s get the fuck out of here and hunt these bastards.) After leaving the abandoned mine with the guards, Phantasia instead headed towards the undead hunting ground and began hunting down any monsters he encounter on the way. He wasn''t holding back at all. His monsters went on the total rampage while he himself was smashing beasts and the undead beings to pieces with his hammer firsts left and right. However, things are not really that easy. "FUCK ME!" Phantasia took out multiple potions from his inventory and began drinking them. (Man. This is fuking annoying.) (Those fuking monkeys always appear in worst possible timing.) (They don''t have high agility or vitality or any defense skills, but those summoned skeletons and that ck magic is still extremely annoying. Not only that, they are way more dangerous if they work with different type of monsters.) (There is also that cat monster wearing a bone armor that have some sort of stealth skill. It straight up ambushed me while I was fighting and almost even killed me.) (There was also that horde of those fuking bats. They can do shit tons of damage, but then that fuking cat appeared and straight up tore off my leg when I was least expecting it. If I wasn''t zombie, I don''t think I would have easily reattached it back. Wait. What would happened to my mechanical body parts? Would they also have undead zombie effect of easily reattaching?) Phantasia picked took out a meat from his inventory and began eating it. [Zombie race special passive have been activated.] [Zombie Hunger.] [Regeneration of energies increases.] (Well, at least the zombie race special effect is quite handy. If I have enough food, I can recover somewhat even without healer and I have even the potions I made myself.) (Still. WOW.) (This ce difficulty is way higher than I originally though.) (This ce have few different monsters hanging around in the area and each one is different and annoying in their own way.) (And the most annoying part about all of those monsters here, they have resistance against necrotic and poison attributes.) (I though those living monsters wouldn''t have it, but fuck me they indeed do.) "And there is also that motherfucking big cat motherfucker wearing bone armor. He can not only sneak around, but also take a fuking hit! Jezus!" "Why the hell they put so many annoying monsters in here. Even one of these monster are extremely annoying, but when together, oh boy." (And of course to top of it all, they have natural resistance against necrotic and poison attributes. Literally two attributes I''m using.) (Still, can''tin too much.) (My inventory is full of-) "." "Oh for fuck sake." C said Phantasia while getting up. Few momentster, a group the wined flesh skulls appeared and were flying towards Phantasia. "Few minutes for crying out loud." "Can''t I have few minutes?!" Phantasia detached his hand and began swinging it around by chain before thenunching it at the bat monsters, smashing several of them to pieces, but some of them ended up dodging the attack and kept flying towards Phantasia. However, the mantis monster under Phantasia control jumped in and shed several of the bat monsters before the hunter red cobra came in and used its tail as weapon to shatter several bat skulls to pieces. While Phantasia beasts were dealing with bat monsters, Phantasia quickly swinged the chain of his hand, sending it flying back towards him and smashing some of the skull bats along the way before then reattaching the hand back to its original position. He then reattached the arm again and began spinning it around, but then something weird happened. The bat monster flew past him. "?!" "What?" (Wait. Something is definitely wrong.) (Those bats attack the target no matter what, if they are alone or not and even if the target is stronger than them.) (THEY NEVER IGNORED-) "?!" (Wait! Why haven''t they attacked my beasts?!) (This isn''t normal at all!) "." "Why do I think there is some sort of big bad beast over in that direction that probably scared off those bat skulls?" "." (And considering the fact that I need stronger materials means I have to go and check it out in order to see if strong monsters in indeed there and probably try to hunt it.) "" (You know, considering the fact that I almost died several times in the row and had been some through rough shit in here I wouldn''t be surprised if something in that direction would murder my ass. But I don''t really have choice since I don''t know how much time I have left...)n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om ''Sigh'' "Fuck my life I guess." Chapter 70 – Dread Predator. After the weird encounter with the bat skull monster, Phantasia began traveling in the direction where the undead beasts monsters came from. [You have in Grey Fur Orangutan Barbarian.] [Level Up.] "Those damn monkeys!" C said Phantasia after fending off a group of the grey furred orangutans. (Okay. I didn''t find a strong monsters, but instead a group of those orangutans.) (.) (Should I continue going in that direction?) (If I continue heading there, I will enter the deeper territory of this ce and who knows what I would encounter.) (I already encounter this group of bastards and they already roughed me up after just recovering.) C though Phantasia while taking out food from his inventory and eating it. (The zombie regeneration only gives small regeneration bonus over time, well it''s still better than nothing. I also have normal passive regeneration, so I''m recovering somewhat.) (.) Phantasia opened his inventory and began inspecting it. Your journey continues with empire (I had secured a lot of interesting materials.) (I didn''t discover any underground veins containing the necrotic elemental gems, since I didn''t had option of digging in here without getting killed in the process.) (Still, I have a lot of interesting materials.) (Not only that, I managed to secure some interesting nts containing the necrotic energy. This is extremely interesting.) (Not only that, that necromancer teaching and knowledge is extremely valuable when ites to the necrotic element and materials containing that kind of element. I can already see its application to my cyborg modifications.) (Still, I need to focus on securing even stronger stuff than things we have right now.) (The experiments are working and the undeads do get somewhat stronger. But it''s still unsittable for the living being.) (The materials I''m managing to get are good for the experiment and everything and they are helping us reach our target.) (But for the final product we need some extremely strong stuff. So, in the end I have to head to the deeper parts of this ce.) "." Phantasia looked around, trying to spot anybody or any traces of the living people in sight. (So far, I didn''t saw any guards in "here", but what if they doe here?) C Phantasia got and began walking together with his monsters to the deeper parts of the undead monsters territory. (Honestly, I was thinking of using the chimeras.) (Especially the rabbit bear and "that" guy, since he was finally born.) (But what if the moment I use chimeras, the patrol gets here?) (I will have no choice to kill them and the dwarf will put two and two together after he is rescued and may end up losing trust in me.)n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om (Well, I CAN kill few of them, since this is a high risk area where a lot of dangerous monsters roam and those bastards are spread out everywhere.) (But I cannot kill too many and that is a problem... Fuck me.) (I should focus on not using-) "?!" While Phantasia was walking, he ended up stopping after noticing something he wasn''t expecting to see. On the giant boulder, was a giant ws marks belonging to the beast. "." (Okay. I can already see boss fighting.) (Is the thing that left that giant ws marks was the reason those bats run away?) (The question is. What could have left it?) (Is it by any chance an upgraded version of the monsters living in here? It was quietmon patter in the hunting grounds where there is a boss version on drugs that has a normal monster version in the area.) (Orangutans?) (No. They use weapons and the magic.) (Bats also nope, since they literally don''t have any fingers. Well, they kind of do? With those 1 w wings.) (So, like a giant mutate bat maybe? But I honestly don''t think so.) (What else. Cat-) "." "Oh fuck off." (If that is that cat monster, then this is fucked up.) (That monster is strong in many different ways and has also stealth skill.) (What? Can the boss monster turn insteadpletely invisible or something? That would quiet too broken considering how strong already those cats are, even without the stealth skill.) (Not only that. Just fuking look at those markings on that boulder for crying out loud.) (They are massive and there is also the fact that they are deep.) (Fuck me I guess this is a hint at least that the beast possess high offensive power.) "." (Wait. Now that think about it, I haven''t see a lot of undeads in this area?) (I only seen those orangutans, but no undeads? Not even necromancer orangutans?) (. Interesting?) (Does undead beasts run away from it or something? But then why the necromancers are missing?) (.) (Is the beast hunting the undeads?) (It would somewhat exin theck of-) "." "Wait a second." [Phantasia] [Race: Undead Zombie C Subrace: Human] "." (Em. Does it also hunts yers?) (.) (Those bats run away recently. And I''m not seeing the beast right now. Was the culprit just here?) "." (Nah. I''m over reacting.) (If that beast was really hunting recently in this spot and was also targeting undeads, then it would have attacked me already, right?) (Besides its not like its hiding nearby and its waiting to attack me at any moment.) (For example, it could be hiding behind that giant boulder or maybe that cliff above-) Phantasia looked up and saw a pair of glowing red eyes on top of the cliff. "." "Shit." The giant figure jumped down from the cliff and aimed at Phantasia, but he quickly moved away before the creaturended in the location where Phantasia was just standing in. "." "Oh, fuck me." The giant figure turned out to be a beast. Specifically, a giant cat monster with pitch ck fur and pure white bone armor sticking out from is body around its spine, ws, tail and head. The monsters resembles the dread hunter, but the monster size was at least two times bigger than already regr dread hunger who was big like lion. Not only that, the bones of the creatures were armed with sticking out hook des and the bones alone were covering much more area and were also thicker, giving the monster way bigger defensive capability as well as offensive capability. [Dread Predator C Level 262] "." (Oh. It has quiet High fuking level. And it also seems that I was correct.) -Looking at me like a prey. Undead prey. -A giant beast monster that left the w mark. -An upgraded version of the most annoying monster here. (A just fuking give it ability to fuking turn invisible! I fuking dare you!) The monster looked at the Phantasia with its blood thirsty red eyes before then rushing towards him. In response, Phantasia instantly detached his hammer fist andunched it at the monster, hitting it right in the face, but not stopping or slowing the monster down at all. "." "Oh, you got to be fuking me." The monster rushed to Phantasia, forcing him to raise his arms in defense and use skill [Body Block] to block the monster w. The attack hit Phantasia and he blocked it Or so he though. "?!" The force of the monster attack was way more than he though and he ended up getting pushed quiet a bit and even his clothes were damaged, revealing the metallic arms that were hidden beneath and also showing that they were also damaged. (Okay First of all.) (WHAT.) (THE.) (FUCK?!) (the dead hunter is quiet nasty enemy with speed, attack and defense, but that thing have it all boosted how much?!) (I used the defensive skill and used my iron arms as shield, but it still did that much damage?!) (.) "Okay, fuck it." Phantasia swinged his right arm backwards, dragging the chain and also sending his fist back to him. It hit the best side while retracting, but it didn''t bothered beast again and Phantasia then reattached his fist. After regaining his hand, the monster instantly pounced towards Phantasia, forcing him to run away in order not to get hit. After dodging the attack, Phantasia tried to run away again in order to gain distance, but the monster didn''t let it slide and continue running towards Phantasia. Phantasia used the [Poison Smoke] skill to create a smoke screen before then moving away, but the monster somehow managed to instantly find Phantasia even though moved away from his previous position. However, the feral monster forgot about Phantasia monsters. The beasts attacked the monster and bit into it while the giant mantis swinged its de at the monster, trying to sh it to pieces. "?!" However, the mantis realized that it de did not sinked at all into the monster body since its bone armor was protecting it. But it did one thing. It provoked the beast and it ended up changing targets from Phantasia to the beast. And the mantis realized, that he may fucked up. The boss monster began attacking Phantasia beast while he himself was doing something behind the boss monster back. However, while that was happening, the mantis monster was straight up being one sidedly beaten up. The mantis swinged its de, but this time not shing but stabbing the monster in its exposed part. "." ":/" C mantis. Mantis des again did nothing, even when hitting the exposed part of the body. The boss monster rammed into the mantis with its head, stabbing it withs bone horns and then pushing mantis away with its blow. The mantis who got pushed back stabbed the ground with its de arms in order not to lose bnce, but it was very visible that it was hurt very badly from that blow. The boss monster rushed to finish off the mantis, but then out of nowhere the monster got drop kicked in the face from the side and this time sending flying and also sustaining finally some real damage. However, the monster ws made sure that the monster did not lost bnce one bit and was not pushed very far and if anything, it was only pushed just few feets. But one thing was for sure. It was now pissed. The monster turned around and saw a giant bear rabbit chimera while the mantis monster was recalled. However, the rabbit monster was not alone at all and in fact, there were other chimera monsters right behind it. And among the monsters was Phantasia who was now wearing his "Doctor" equipment. "Fuck you. I''m going all out." (This guy is way too strong and we straight up just started.) (I''m going to be fuking honest right now. If that thing is that strong and it even has natural resistance like the normal version, then its cheating. Not only that it probably have stronger version of those resistances as well.) (And considering the fact that my hammer fist barely did anything, I don''t really have no choice but to use chimeras or I will straight up get massacred by that bastard.) (And if anybody sees me by any chance, be it patrol or yer, then I will have to get rid of them since I will have no choice.) "Murder him." The chimeras rushed towards the boss monster and now starting the real battle between the doctor and the dread predator. Chapter 71 - Dread Predator – Part 2. The rabbit bear monster Mianrool rushed at the beast boss andnded a powerful punch on the monster face, dealing damage, but not enough. The boss monster swinged its ws, forcing the chimera to quickly jump away to dodge the attack. "." (Shit.) (I knew it.) (Because I couldn''t freely use chimeras, their level isn''t that high.) (Still, Mianrool is boss monster himself, so he should somewhat manage.) (I had also used the wolf since they recently evolved, since I didn''t wanted to use them anymore as well.) "Princess." The giant wolf monster that was standing right next to the Phantasia was abination of four different evolved horned wolves. This monster posed one head, or so it seemed. It had four different mutated and changed heads fused together with top of the head being on the different side. Top, left, right and below. Each top of the head was fused together, creating monster with that could split its head into four parts and each of the top heads possess a pair of eyes as well as a sharp horn pointing onwards. {{Fun fact. Each of the wolves used for the chimera creation was indeed female.}} (I honestly wanted to add the hunter red cobra, but it didn''t properly fitted into the build. I was maybe thinking a snake tail like the chimera from the myths and add the horns to it. But after thinking bit about it, I decided not to do it for various reason.) (Still, this is a scary motherfucker.) "Go." The giant wolf monster rushed at the boss monster that was upied with the Mianrool and opened its splitting mouth and biting into the monster side, making the boss monster fell this powerful bite and make it scream in pain. The boss monster turned around and smacked the wolf monster away, but then instantly the wolf monster used its head as a weapon and smacked the boss monster with it. The boss monster ended up getting hit with hammer like head right in its own head, giving opening for the rabbit monster to rush in and swipe the beast from the side with its ws. However, the boss monster wasn''t even given moment of rest since momentter it got hit directly in the face with the hammer fist swinged by the chain. (Shit.) (We arending proper hits, but that thing is not even halfway through dying!) (For crying out loud, we need to at least-) "?!" Phantasia quickly dodged to the side as the boss monster rushed at him. After that Phantasia began firing bone projectile at the monster, but as he suspected the monster had high resistance against this element and pretty much that attack did almost nothing. However, it distracted the monster, allowing his two chimeras to rush at the boss monster and attack it, tackling the monster and making the boss monster focus them instead. "Stall him!" C said Phantasia while making distance between himself and the boss monster. The rabbit and the wolf monsters began attacking the boss monster left and right, but the boss monster toughest was clearly visible as it was taking those hits like nothing, even though they were hurting him. The boss monster shed the rabbit chimera, pushing it away even though it raised its guard. After pushing away the rabbit, the monster focused on the wolf and quickly began shing with the monster. The wolf monster indeed had strength, but unfortunately the boss monster had more and was more easily dominating the exchange of blows, slowly gaining upper hand. The rabbit monster tried to assist the wolf, but the boss monster bit into the wolf side and then dragged it around and using it as a weapon, hitting the rabbit with wolf chimera body and pushing it away before letting go of the wolf in order to use it as weapon. The rabbit and the wolf chimeras ended up rolling on the ground. The two monsters tried to get up as fast as possible, but the boss monster rushed at them in order to finish at least one of them off. However, as it was about to deliver devastating blow, the giant shield out of nowhere rammed into the monster side and pushed the boss monster away, making it roll on the ground before then quickly regaining its bnce and instantly standing up on its feets. When the monster looked, it saw a giant monster standing on two feets, wielding a giant shield and sword. The monster stood on two legs like the person, but it appearance wasn''t that of a human. Enjoy exclusive content from empire It looked like a mix of two creatures. A man and the wolf. Specifically, the orc guards capitan known as Dumdo and the boss Horn Wolf Giant as two mainponents for its body creation. Beside being part wolf and part orc, the other notable things about the monster is its two giant tusks and de like horn sticking out from its forehead. The giant muscr monster carrying giant shield and sword was looking directly at the boss monster, ready to fight and the fight it will get. The boss monster rushed at the orc wolf chimera and straight up bashed its head against the orc. But the orc monster shieldpletely blocked the attack. After blocking the attack, the chimera used its shield to counter attack, pushing the beast away for second before thenunching the real counter attack with its sword that shed across the beast face, making it scream in pain. However, it wasn''t all. It then got straight up bashed in the hand with a shield before then getting shed from the side suddenly. The boss monster tried to counter attack, but then it got attacked by the Phantasia chained hammer fist, then dropkicked by the rabbit before then getting bitten by the wolf. The boss monster was getting ganged on by four different enemies. The boss monster tried to do something, but whenever it was about to do something important like try to deal the devastating blow against one of the enemies, the other instantlyunched a strong attacks in order to stop the monster and also deal some nasty damage themselves. The boss monster does in fact possess huge defense, but even it was still receiving damage nonstop. However, the boss monster said enough. "?!" The boss monster fur straight up turned into dark mist before then pushing away all the enemies around it away from it. "." (Second phase, huh?) The monster releases entire body turned pitch ck before then turning into ck mist and dissolving into thin air. "?!" (Oh fuck me. Was I right about that thing turning invisible?!) Phantasia alongside his chimeras were looking around for the monster, unaware when it will appear. "!" Phantasia suddenly got an idea and began spinning his first hammer by its chain over its head. (Common ya fucker!) (As soon as you got near me you will get hit and reveal your position, so-) Suddenly the monster reemerged. "?!" (It was after Mianrool?!) The rabbit chimera didn''t noticed in time and ended up receiving a massive blow from the monster w, dealing critical amount of damage. However, the rabbit wasn''t dead Yet? The boss monster rushed to finish off the rabbit monster, but Phantasia alreadyunched its hammer fist at the beast, hitting in the side. (GOT YOU BITCH!) However, the boss monster was unbothered by it and crushed the rabbit monster with its giant paws. "" (I forget he didn''t cared at all if I hit him with that.) "YOU TWO! GET THAT FUCKER!" The two chimeras rushed towards the boss monster, but then the boss monster turned around and straight up charged at the wolf monster, hitting it with an powerful charge and pushing it away before then looking towards the orc chimera. The orc chimera rushed in and stabbed the monster in its leg, trying to pin it down, but the monster quickly broke lose by damaging its own leg and then counter attacking the orc monster with its tail covered in bone armor, hitting the chimera exposed side and then turning around and hitting it with its ws, however it was not enough to put down the orc chimera and now starting the battle between the two. "." (Okay Mianrool is dead... Shit.) (Well, there was huge difference in levels and everything, so I it is understandable and everting.) (But why the hell Mianrool?! I liked that one!) The monster began emitting the dark smoke from its fur again before then releasing the shockwave that pushed away the orc chimera.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om The boss monster tried turning invisible again, but then the wolf chimera attacked the boss monster and bit into its side, making the boss monster scream in pain before then getting hit with the hammer fist on chain right in the face. The boss monster fur form returned back to normal after getting hit by both wolf and Phantasia attacks. "?" (Huh. You can stop it from turning invisible if you deal enough damage? Then it doesn''t seem that-) The extremely annoyed boss monster turned towards Phantasia with bloodthirsty eyes and opened its mouth and roared, shooting out a shockwave of necrotic energy towards Phantasia. (HE HAS RANGE ATTACKS?! BULLSHIT!) Phantasia realized the attack was too big to dodge and so he raised his guard up and using [Body Block] skill. The attack hit Phantasia and pushed him quiet far back while dragging his feets on the ground. "FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKK!" C shouted Phantasia while stopping himself from going any further. "" "Okay. This is really fuking annoying." (First. It can turnpletely invisibility.) (Second. It has extremely high stats and even has an armor covering its body.) (And third! It has a range attack?!) (Why?!) (Who the hell designed this boss?!) (For crying out loud. Its huge stats alone makes it extremely dangerous, but it also has an invisibility skill and the long range attack with huge knockback?!) The boss monster bit into the wolf chimera side, grabbed it and the forcefully detached it from its body before then tossing the wolf monster aside, freeing itself from it. "." (For fuck sake. What next?) (Will it next summon a bunch of monsters to its side? Or maybe it will fuking clone itself?!) (.) (Hm... Well, I say that this bastard is broken and everything... But he sustained a lot of damage already.) (It didn''t bothered blocking or anything like that, it probably heavily relied on its natural defenses for that.) (That is good at least.) (The wolf chimera did suffered some damage, but the big guy is still in good conditions to continue fighting.) (So unless he pulls any random bullshit, I should be able to kill it.) "." (And now I kind of feel like it will pull out some random bullshit that will make me suffer a lot. Please tell me I was wrong times time.) Chapter 72 - Dread Predator – Part 3. The boss monster alongside the pseudo werewolf chimera were shing with each other, exchanging blows and wounding each other. The boss monster tried to overpower the chimera, but the chimera solid line of defense was not letting up and in fact, the boss monster had forgotten for the moment about the other enemies. Phantasiaunched his hammer fist on the chain from the side while the wolf chimera rushed form the other side alongside the werewolf chimera attack from front. All 3 attacks connected, dealing some proper damage, but also angering the boss monster once again. The boss monster released a shockwave from its fur again, pushing back all enemies. The monster then tried going invisible, but Phantasiaunched his hammer fist at the enemy, hitting it, but not stopping it from going invisible. (Damn!) (Just hitting alone isn''t enough? You need to deal enough damage to chancel this thing.) Phantasia began swinging his weapon around himself in order to hit the monster if it dared to approach him. And unfortunately for him, the boss monster this time chose him as target. The swinged hammer fist hit the monster, revealing its location, but not giving enough time for Phantasia to put proper defense or dodge, meaning that all he could do was to raise his metallic arm as shield and have it take the hit. The giant w hit Phantasia entire body and send him flying and rolling on the ground. The boss monster rushed towards Phantasia, trying to finish him off, but before the boss monster could do that, Phantasia fired [Poison Blow] at the monster, hitting him right in the face with poison smoke projectile that spread out as soon as it collided with monster face, blinding the monster vision for moment and allowing Phantasia to roll to the side, barely dodging the monster pounce. (SHIT!) The monster looked at Phantasia. "No?" The monster rushed towards Phantasia, this time catching up to him and trying to bite him. Phantasia used his left arm as a shield, making the boss monster bite it, but also severely damage it nonstop. "FUCKER!" "[Power Kick]!" Phantasia kicked the monster in the throat. But the monster did not let go and instead put even more force it its bite. (SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!) C though Phantasia while panicking and kicking the monster in the throat over and over again. Phantasia metallic arm was sustaining more and more damage, but then the werewolf chimera rushed in and stabbed the monster right in the side with its sword, making the monster scream in pain and let go of Phantasia arm. After quickly taking out his arm from the monster mouth, Phantasia fired [Acid de] at point nk range, hit the monster right in its mouth before then getting up and moving away as the wolf monster rushed in and joined the werewolf to fight against the boss monster (Shit! Quicky!) Phantasia quickly took out potion and began drinking it while his chimeras were keeping the boss monster upied. "?" (Oh, god dammed.) Phantasia left arm that was taking many hits through the entire battle and that rampaging bite attaches ended up severely damaging the arm. The entire arm waspletely crushed and the hand was barely hanging by the chain Scratch that, the chain broken and Phantasia hand just fallen on the ground broken. (Shit.) (In this game you can lose an limb and stuff, so it''s no surprise that I can my cyborg body parts as well.) (Well, it''s not like I will permanently lose the limb or anything and my cyborg body even if it was torn apart I wouldn''t lose it, I tested it out since I was quiet curios and scared.) (But right now I cannot properly use that arm.) (Honestly if my arm was just flesh and blood it would have gotten crushed long time ago.) (But again, this arm cannot be even used as weapon. I can probably just smack once or twice before it snaps.) (. FUKING PERFECT!) C though Phantasia while taking out another potion from his inventory. (.) (Huh I wonder if I can make something like arms I can rece like equipment? But then the joints would be-) (WAIT THAT ISN''T THE POINT RIGHT NOW!) The werewolf monster was hitting the boss monster over and over with its weapons while the wolf chimera was on top of the boss monster and biting into the monster back. Find exclusive stories on empire The boss monster straight up ignored the wolf monster and instead focused on the werewolf. The chimera swinged its de, but then it was catched by the monster mouth. The boss monster tried to push the werewolf back, but then a crossbow bolt flew out of nowhere and pierced right in the monster right eye, making it let go of the de and scream in pain, allowing the werewolf to retract its sword before then swinging it andnding a devasting blow on the monster neck. (Well, I was hoping that crossbow bolt would have finished it off, but fuck it.) C though Phantasia while tossing aside the crossbow he had prepared beforehand. Phantasia detached his right hand and began swinging it by chain before thenunching it at the werewolf sword, hitting it and making the de sink deeper into monster neck and making the boss monster caught out blood. "FROM THE OTHER SIDE PRINCESSS!" C shouted Phantasia. The chimera wolf got off the boss monster back and rushed towards the boss monster neck, biting it from the other side while other side the deerwolf was putting all of its strength to sink its de even further. Phantasia pulled back his hand before then starting to spin it, but then the boss monster roared, sending a shockwave in his direction and hitting him dead on. The boss monster then began releasing the ck smoke from his fur once again before then unleashing the shockwave around itself, trying to get rid of the monsters trying to decapitate it and sessfully pushing them away, but leaving the werewolf sword that was already deep into the monster neck. The boss monster then prepared to go invisible, but before it could do that, Phantasia rushed towards the boss monster and used skill [Battle Step] to close the distance and increase his next basic body type attack power before then using skill [Jab] tounch a quick fist attack with his right arm. Phantasia hand straight up hit the monster right in its remaining eye, making the monster squall in agony and stop it from turning invisible. "YOU SHOULD HAVE SHOT ME AFTER YOU KNOCKEDBACK THESE TWO YOU FUKING IDIOT!" The monster with now both of its eyes heavily injured was now blinded and was aggressively attacking everything around itself in total panic. However, this moment of panic gave the chimera werewolf chance to rush in and grab the de that was stuck in the monster neck, pushing it further in with the force of the charge. The beast tried resisting the chimera assault, but again Phantasia detached his hand and swinged it around, hitting the de and making go even deeper and giving the werewolf chimera enough support for its de to sink deep enough to make beast bleed out drastically. The monster pushed away the werewolf chimera away, but it was toote. The de was sinked way too deep into the monster neck, the lost of both eyes, the total umted damager over the course of the entire fight. All of it was too much and so, the monster finally fallen dead on the ground. "." (He won''te back to life-) [You have in: Dread Predator] "Oh, thank fuking god." C said Phantasia after finally rxing. (If that guy would straight up turn into undead and have some sort of form, I swear to god!) [You have hunted down the apex predator of the undead mountain single handily.] [You have obtained title: Dread Predator yer] C [B] [+200 stat points.] "." "Wait I got title from that?" (Jezus. So that boss was some sort of special boss then, huh? And B rank title as well?) (. Well, it does seems fair for them to give me B rank title for this bullshit and everything.) (But I think this is first time I got title for killing a boss monster? Huh. So, there are bosses out there that gives you titles if you kill them?) (That is quite interesting to know But that only focuses on boss monsters? What if I kill some important NPC? Would it also give me a title? This is quite interesting. Oh well, time will tell or maybe some idiot already revealed that information to the public and people already knew about it.) "" (Still. WTF.) (I got shit tons of EXP from it. I even leveled up multiple times myself after it died.) (I do know it was not normal monster now thanks to the title and also because of the fact that it straight up mauled me! Jezus that thing was strong like hell. Fuck me. Even with chimeras it was hard like hell. And one of my arms have beenpletely destroyed. It straight up crushed steel with its jaws... Oh my lord if I didn''t blocked any of those bites back then I would get instantly killed, wouldn''t I?) (...) (Em. Let''s focus on something else right now. And something very important.) "What should I do with this thing?" "." (Should I take items? Or use that bastard corpse for the chimera?) (Both options sound extremely solid.) (Honestly Defense, offensive and all other stuff. It would be extremely worth it... IT would make an exceled body for the chimera creation, BUT there is problem called my current mission.) (The dread hunters does provide the necessary materials for the research of the unliving heart... And this guy will provide materials if not KEY materials needed to finish the unliving heart) (But then again, it could be used to create a perfect chimera!) (If I were to make monster using THAT body, I could create something so strong that would straight up bring carnage with it.) (But again. What if that monster won''t respawn? Not all monsters respawn and everything ording to the game guide.) (What if he was one of those "One life only" just like NPCs?) "."N?v(el)B\\jnn "FUCK!" (I need the materials from that guy and I cannot wait any longer!) (If that guy is also one of those monsters that does not respawn after time, then I would be in quiet picky situation if I were to harvest its corpse for body parts instead of collecting drop items.) (Better not risk it.) [You have obtained: -Dread Predator Mana Crystal. -Dread Predator Heart. -Dread Predator Fangs. -Dread Predator ws. -Dread Predator Hide. -Dread Predator Bones.] (It better be fuking worth.) (. Honestly, I want to hunt bit more and look for more materials. But with my current state and the fact that my normal beats are already exhausted, it straight up impossible to continue.) (I will make short stop in the city before going to meet up with that necromancer.) (And I swear to god, if he needs any stronger stuff, I''m straight up killing!) Chapter 73 – The creation of Unliving Heart. After recovering a bit and organizing my stuff, I as nned ended up heading straight towards necromancer base in order to show him the stuff I had obtained recently. "?!" "The hell are those things?!" C said the necromancer while inspecting items drops obtained from the Dread Predator. "I ran into some strong monster like hell that almost killed me. It even destroyed my metal gear and everything with ease and was also covered in bone armor." C said doctor. "It looked simr to the monster known as Dread Hunter and that guy I hunted was also called Dread Predator." "That guy wasn''t undead, but its materials does possess necrotic element." Discover stories at empire "Yea I can see that. And a lot of it as well." "." "Dwarf. Did you knew about that creature?" C asked doctor while turning towards the dwarf. ". No...Yes. Don''t know." "I heard about some weird monster hunting undeads. But I never saw it myself or anything like that." C said dwarf. "But this? Well You confirmed that monster did existed." "." "Question." C said doctor. "This bastard was strong like hell and it almost killed me." "Its probably the strongest monster out there, specifically in that undead mountain." "So, I will ask you two straight." "Is it possible to use those materials to create the unliving heart?" "And don''t you even try to lie or do any bullshit dwarf." "Remember that the entire city is still being held hostage and I can detonate the gue bombs remotely from here." "And that also means failure, since we don''t know if you did that intentionally or not. So, give us the answer." "." "It. It is possible... Maybe." "However we need to more tests and experiments, since." ". Fine." C said necromancer. "I will also help out since I did secured some other materials beside those from the Dread Predator." C said doctor. "Just a reminder, we may not have a lot of time left." "We need to be careful while making stuff, but we also need to finish the heart soon before get fucked up." "Agree." C replied necromancer. "Well then, lets go to the work already." With the usation of the necessary materials for the experiments as well as confirming that the materials from the Dread Predator can maybe be used for the creation of the unliving heart, we straight up got to the work. While I was focused on gathering materials, the dwarf as well as the necromancer did their research as well as created few experiment heart that did gave us some interesting data. They were notzing around at all while I was on the material hunt. Anyway, the test and research regarding the unliving heart continues smoothly. I did needed to leave the base few times to gather materials and even had to start using my own money for some materials I had brough from the city, since that fuking necromancer didn''t had enough money in the end. Well, at least I didn''t had any stupid encounter with another super boss again. I hope. Honestly speaking I think I got somewhat lucky when I beat that catst time...Yea, maybe I shouldn''t try fight the next one until I get some upgrades. Anyway, the research was going well. Days went by and we had a lot of progress. Not only that, but thanks to these two I ended up learning a lot from them yet again. As for the patrols going around? It seems they had calmed down. I guess they believe that the dwarf is nowhere near the city right now This is good for me, but the atmosphere in the city is quite bad. Not only that, the dwarf rivals and enemies are trying to rece him. Honestly, the city in bad state. Even dwarf is straight up surprised how much the city had changed after he got kidnapped. Honestly, he doesn''t even knows if it safe for him to return there. Yea I''m not ming him. Anyway, the tests continues for days. We had some break throughs as well as big flops, but overall, the research was going well. At first many skeletons were dying from just activating the heart, but then each of them stopped dying. Then we changed to the elite skeletons and the results were also improving with them. In the end, the heart was no longer destroying or damaging undeads, but instead strengthening them. Well There was sometimes explosion. We had some other problems that did took us some time to deal with, but we did not stopped. And if anything, we could tell that we were slowly approaching our goal. "." "The energy output is stable and there is no problem whatsoever." C said the necromancer. "The undead is alsopletely fine and there is no damage anywhere in its body." C said doctor while inspecting the bones of the skeleton. "This heart was also capable of functioning like the real heart and the energy movement seems to bepletely fine." "." "We are close." C said doctor. "FINALY!" C said extremely excited necromancer. "Calm down." C said the dwarf while taking off the heart off the undead body. "We are still not done yet." "The heart can function and it can strengthen your necrotic ability, but it''s not finished." "The mutation process isn''t perfected yet and we also need to make a lot of changes and adjustments, since we will be using quiet different materials for finished product." "Dwarf is right." C said doctor. "I didn''t encounter another Dread Predator so far, so there is chance that we may not be able to obtain more materials like this." "If we screw it, then you can kiss your unborn unliving heart goodbye before you met it." "..." ''Sigh'' "Yea You right." C said necromancer. (Thanks to the doctor providing materials for us and the skills of that dwarf, it is possible to create the unliving heart.) C though the necromancer. (But if we screw up something, the heart may end up bing unstable and kills me.) (The special metal we are creating right now should be able to somewhat fit well for the creation of the unliving heart prototype, but the finally product we would need use those bones from that beast.) "." "Hegan." C said doctor. "Hm?" "I know that you are excited, but also scared not to fuck up, but you need to rx." "Focus at the task at hand and only at it." C said doctor while poking at the dark elf forehead.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Rx, but also focus." "If you won''t do that, then we will never finish the heart." "Not only that, the city may have reduced the number of the search parties around the city, but that doesn''t mean we are safe yet." "What if they discover this ce? What if we kill them in response? Won''t it make things look too suspicions?" "We need to hurry up, but we are also close." "Just look." C said doctor while showing the necromancer the data records. "We are so close, so its not like we need to spend a month anymore or anything like that." "So calm down and focus." "And if you do that, then the heart will be finished before we get end up being discovered." "." "You are right I was panicking Sorry." C said necromancer. "." "Rest for now and m yourself. In your current state it will only get in our way." "As soon as you calm down and regain your focus, we shall resume our research." C said doctor while picking up chair and giving it to the necromancer. ". Yea Thanks." C said necromancer while sitting down on the chair. "." (Not yet. The timing isn''t right yet.) C though Phantasia while looking at the necromancer. (But soon it will be all over.) After the necromancer somewhat calmed down and regained his focus, we restarted our research. Right now, we were focusing on the mutation. For the unliving heart to truly work as intended, we need to give it ability to mutate the host and evolve it in the way. The task won''t be easy at all. But we have already a lot of necessary data. The modified heart that can both function as the normal heart and can work with necrotic element. And the necromancer research data when he used the heart on the living beings. That research data was essential for our future experiments and we saw that ourselves while we were conducting experiments on the undeads. The undeads were showing the mutations we were hoping for. More and more. The mutations we were aiming were showing themselves. Thanks to the necromancer notes, we know that the unliving heart will have specific mutation for undeads and living beings and as soon as we gets the undead mutations right, the mutation for the living being. Its all thanks to the bizarre nature of the unliving heart that it works perfectly for both the living and undead. The necromancer only experimented on vermins, but his experiments had indeed proven that the unliving heart can work for the living and dead. The problem however was the fact that the humans and other races are much differentpare to rats and pigeons, meaning that we needed to do a lot of changes. Still, the undead humans that the necromancer had in reserve were excellent test subjects. Their bodies was showing a lot of mutations and even new mutations that even necromancer didn''t knew about. Probably because of the fact that the target is humanoid species. But these new mutations are extent, since it will definitely change the living being the way we want it. Fuck it! I though it would take a month to finish it, but I was wrong! The research is speeding up so much to the point we don''t have to wait much longer. We almost have all the necessary things to start the creation of the real thing! The Unliving Heart shall be created soon. Chapter 74 – The creation of Unliving Heart – Part 2. "" "The stabilization is functioning." C said doctor. "And so are the mutations. They are perfect!" C said extremely excited necromancer. "Yea But the best part is that the undead is still doing well. "C said doctor while inspecting the body of the undead. "Dwarf." "What about the heart? Is it working properly like heart?" "." "Yes." "It is. However, the problem is the necrotic energy and the mutation. If we don''t deal with it, then it won''t work properly and it will kill the user and or undead." "This is obvious But the metal we had created should do the trick, right?" C asked necromancer. "" "It should." "We had prepared all the necessary parts for the heart creation, ranging from the metals that were made using alchemybining various metals, dread predator bones." "As for the veins and the energy bank, they are both finished as well." "The only thing lefts seems to be assemble and beside that we also need to do the jump start like we discussed in order to make the heart activate." "Well, it was obvious." "The heart need to be able to beat before we will have an ability to be put inside somebody." C said necromancer. "But now we secured thest remaining data we needed to create the unliving heart." C said doctor. "We should be ready now to create it." "?!" "Wait! Really?! We have enough data?!" C said excited necromancer. "Yea But we need to check few things, adjust some parts and also check everything twice to make sure that the heart will seed." C said doctor. ". Yea, you are right." C said necromancer who calmed down. After checking that everything was fine and everything enough time, we started preparing for the unliving heart creation. The all necessary things are in ce. The data we had obtained from out experiments. And the materials. If somebody is wonder, no. The dread predator materials are not enough to create. We needed to use the dread predator materials as well as some other materials like metals and used advance alchemy and cksmithing to create special materials. But that was also not enough. So, the necromancer pulled out this thing. [Eye Ruby] [Rarity: Legendary] [An extremely rare natural formed mana gem that resembles the eye. It can only be found in areas containing extremely rich necrotic element.] [The gem itself possess extremely high purity of the necrotic energy and just holding it in your hands for long time may end up affecting you.] . Okay. WOW. I wasn''t expecting that guy to pull out legendary rarity mana gem! He didn''t even told us about it until recently and I can kind of see why. This isn''t some random item or anything like that. I honestly wonder how did he get hands on this thing Well probably illegally since he is a criminal and terrorist. Oh, I looked into him. Hegan Bi''bio''ro. He came from the house Bi''bio''ro, one of the oldest families in the entire kingdom. However, few years ago his entire family ended up beingpletely destroyed and their noble status revoke. Reason? Treason. Apparently, his family was nning on rebellion, but by the look of things this wasn''t correct. "Hey." "I just fuking dare you- " "Okay. I dare." "Now will you tell me what is going on? Since it seems that there is more to this story that it seems." "." ''Sigh'' "I had enough." "?" "You had enough?" "Yea. I had fuking enough." "I did everything for this kingdom and everything!" "But. BUT!" "My stupid brother who was the current head of the house had ruined it all!" "Illegal ve trading." "ves are illegal in this kingdom expect for the criminal ves." "I tried to look into it, prove his innocents, but all evidence was against him. I did even some illegal things to look into it, but as it turns out my brother was really the scumbag." "And this wasn''t small illegal ve marketing, but big one to the point where he straight up end costing his and mine noble status." "And afterwords everything went downhill. My own status My station. Everything I worked for. It was taken from me since I was also suspected of being his partner in crime, even though there was 0 evidence." "They just used an excuse to get rid of me since I was embarrassment and my position held some power." "It wasn''t even my fault YET I''M THE ONE MOST SUFFERING?! WHY?!" "." "I had fuking enough of this stupid kingdom." "The kingdom that does to forgive and judges people only for their own gain." "I will destroy this treacherous kingdom with my own two hands!" "." (Stupid.) C though Phantasia. (His back story IS STRAIGH UP STUPID!)

(Just look how he was nervous during the experiments and whenever we had problems.) (There could be a chance he was so scared and cautions to the point he wanted to make absolutely perfect in order not to fuck up. He wanted to minimize amount of risk or maybe straight up have a possible to not have any.) (If possible, I would like to reveal that to me But there is not much time left.) Discover exclusive tales on empire I don''t know if that guy is somebody pawn or not yet, but sooner orter I will find out about it. For now, all of focused on the unliving heart. All the necessary materials have been prepared, nowes the real challenges. We now need to assemble the unliving heart. It may sound easy, but there are few problems. Right now, the unliving heart isn''t a real thing, but instead scraps. If we fuck up even a little bit before the heart is fully created and empowered, the heart will be destroyed. "." "Are you all ready?" C asked doctor. "Yea Everything is ready." C said dwarf. "About time. But I fuking dare you to fuck up." C said necromancer. "Don''t worry. We won''t." C replied doctor. "Well then Shall we?" The unliving heart creation: Start. I won''t lie, as soon as we started making this thing, I got extremely nervous. But also excited. It was like assembling a pocked watch But kind of also a living organ? I mean it is a pseudo living organ and everything that should work like heart. Anyway, it was both stressful, but also interesting. It did took us sometime since we trying to be extremely careful, but the heart was assembled. "." "Huh. It doesn''t look like a heart now that we had assembled it." C said the dwarf while looking at the not living unliving heart. "YeaI though it would look somewhat simr to a normal heart, but more mechanical. But this? It''s a sphere." C said Doctor. On the table lied an assemble Unliving Heart. However, despise its name, it did not looked remotely like a heart. If anything, it was a metallic sphere that looked like it was made out of some sort of artificial skin. Beside the heart looking like the sphere, there was four bulges sticking out from different directions. "Yea I mean It worked when we tested in on undeads So even though its not really heart shaped, it should work like heart." C said necromancer. "True. We did tested it." C said dwarf. "But you know They were experimental version. I though we would make it look somewhat simr to the normal heart at least." "Well, does it matter? I mean how it look on outside?" C said doctor. "The insides of this things are quiteplicated and everything." "True. It should work the way we want it to... Even though its not really shaped like heart." C said necromancer. "Oh well. We still that to do." ". Nowes the real test." C said the necromancer while pointing at the device hanging from the ceiling. "Yea We need to jump start this thing and make it beat." C said dwarf.N?v(el)B\\jnn "And if we don''t do this correctly or we assembled the heart in incorrect way, then we are screwed." C said doctor. ". Fuck. Let''s just do it." "Yea." The trio carefully took out the unactive unliving heart to the table that was right beneath the device that was filled with rough necrotic element before then detaching tubes like devices from it and attaching it to the sticking out bulges. "." "That was thest one." C said dwarf while backing away. "" (It took us So much effort and time.) C though the necromancer while holding a lever. (.) (Please. I beg you! WORK!) Necromancer pulled the lever and momentster the necrotic mana began pumping into the heart. Few secondster, the heart began having a faint beating. "." "I-its. Its working!" C said dwarf. The necromancer pulled the lever bit lower, making more necrotic mana pump into the heat and making it now more visible beat. "." "Slowly." C said doctor. Necromancer lowered the lever bit more, then again, then again and once again. The heart was beating more and more each time the lever was pulled down. And now, the lever was pulled at the lowest point and the maximal amount of necrotic mana was now being pumped into the heart. The heart itself began beating at rapid rate, expanding and shrinking with each bit just like real heart. Doctor alongside dwarf backed away from the heart for their own safety as the parts of the heart began changing color from silver to dark green. Before long all of the stored energy entered the heart and the rapid beat of the heart was slowing down more and more as the trio looked extremely nervously. Before long the heart beatpletely stopped... However few secondster it began beating again, now on its own. "?!" "D-did it worked?" C asked dwarf. "." Doctor approached the heart and looked at it. "." "?!" "YES! IT DID WORKED! LOOK!" C said doctor while turning around. "?!" The necromancer quickly run towards the table and saw unliving heart now fully activated. [Unliving Heart] [Rarity: Unknown [An artificial heart created by the 3 craftsman who had came together to create this unknown masterpiece.] [A heart that either living or nonliving being can put inside their body, fusing themselves with it.] [Upon fusion, the heart will mutate its host body, evolving them in the sense and allowing them to handle pure necrotic element while also enchanting their own power.] [This heart power will grow alongside the user and its power will also change depending on the user.] [The mutation will depend on the target and one of the most important factors is if the target is alive or not.] "." "Finaly. Itspleted..." C said necromancer while on brink of crying. "Itspleted. ITS COMPLETED!" "HAHAHAHAHAH!" "WITH THIS! I WILL DESTORY THIS FUKING KINGDOM THAT ROBBED ME OF EVERYTHING!" "WITH THIS! EVERBODY WILL KNOW MY NAME!" "AND IT IS- " ''Click'' Suddenly the necromancer top half of his back of his head waspletely blowed up with a loud bang as if a gun was fired. The necromancer fallen on the ground, barely moving before then Phantasia raised his foot above necromancer head and used skill [Power Kick] before then stepping on the necromancer head, crushing it. This was so sudden to the point that the dwarf could only starepletely confused, but few secondster he regained himself and looked down, realized what just happened in this short span of time The necromancer was just killed by the doctor without warning. "" "Shouldn''t let your guard down, buddy." C said Phantasia while looking now at the remains of the necromancer dead body. Chapter 75 – Letting your guard down. The necromancer who had held the dwarf captive for a long time and had just finished his awaited dream of creating the [Unliving Heart] was suddenly assassinated by the Doctor and killed on the spot right in front of the dwarf who just watched in horror and confusion, not knowing what just had happened. "Ah There we go." C said Phantasia while picking the unliving heart from necromancer dead hand. "." (W-what just happened?!) C though the shocked dwarf who looked at the dead corpse of the necromancer. (He put his hand behind the necromancer head and the next thing I heard was a loud bang of a gun firing as well as sh from his palm before then necromancer dropped on the ground and then that guy used some skill before then crushing his head, making sure he died.) (He betrayed him?!) (Wait! Then his goal was the heart?! Then what will happened to me? The only use for them was my skills needed to create the heart. But now that my job is over DOES THAT MEAN HE WILL NOW GET RID OFF ME?!) Phantasia looked towards the dwarf, scaring him and making him back away in order to keep safe distance. "" "Calm down." "The necromancer is dead." "And by the way, your disciplines were never kidnaped and the gue bombs never existed. It was all the lie to keep you on the leash." "?!" "Wait What?" "Well By the look of things allow me to exin." C said Phantasia before putting his hands on the mask and taking it off. "My name is Phantasia, but I''m mostly known as Wood Mask." "I''m your rescue." "." Stay connected with empire "Wait. You are saying that you came here to rescue me?" "Bullshit! You worked with the necromancer! You even threaten my life!" "You aim was the heart! Wasn''t it?!" "." "Yes and no." "I honestly didn''t knew exitance of this heart, but I will take." "And besides, if my goal was the heart, then why would I reveal my face to you or straight up let you speak with me? I could have killed you as soon as I obtained the heart." "." "I want exnation." C said scared dwarf. ". Well, you do deserve it." "First thing first." "I''m not the real terrorist known as "Doctor". "I just pretended to be one by having simr looking mask to him." "And honestly, thank god that the necromancer was total idiot and didn''t asked me to show those things." "?" "Those "THINGS"?" C asked dwarf. "." "The real doctor is an adventure like me, but for some weird reason he became terrorist." "Nobody really knows what his goal or motive is, but he is known as quiet strong bastard." "He can use some sort of gues as well as use some sort of chimera monsters." "He went on the total rampage and evenpletely wrecked the Min city, an major spot for the new adventures to start their adventure." "Honestly, I even got killed by that bastard twice." "First time when I was trying to rescue people from the gue, but ended up encountering the culprit himself since he did not wanted anybody to help out in dealing with the gue and the second when his chimeras ripped me apart." "If I wasn''t adventures, then you wouldn''t probably meet me." "Anyway, this stupid necromancer didn''t tried to even confirm my identity by having me use the gue or chimera monsters." "As for the veil? Its just weak poison." C said Phantasia while showing the veil of poison that he used before to threaten the dwarf. ". So, wait, you are not the real doctor, but you used his identity to fool the necromancer?" "Pretty much." "I originally wanted to fight him head on. But that bastard was way stronger than I though." "And to make matters worse, he was aware of the fact that the adventures can revive." "So, if he would have killed me, then he would definitely run away with you since I would report the situation." "But, if we were to capture him using guards, he still had you, a hostage. So, there is no way we could have made any move and if we did, you would probably bit the dust." "So yea Even if we found you, we couldn''t make any proper move." "And you realize how the city was desperate for your rescue, right? I did not lied anything about it. Well, I kind of wish I was." "But anyway." "The necromancer was way stronger than I had expected and to secure his trust and have him drop his guard down, I decided to work with him." "I honestly didn''t knew about the heart at first, but it was a perfect opportunity." "The moment of joy was when his guard was at the lowest and I was able to kill him." "And there you have it The necromancer let his guard down and I didn''t even wasted a second and got rid of him." "Sorry that it took so long, but hey. You are alive and everything, so the n worked, didn''t it?" "." "So. Are you really here to rescue me or...?" ". For fuck sake. Again. If I wanted you dead, I would have already killed you." "Anyway, with the necromancer gone, his undeads should also bit the dust." "I should be able to bring you back to the safety to the city. However, I have question to you." "?" "What is it?" C asked dwarf. "Well Your kidnapping It was bit strange." "Did by any chance the necromancer was working with something INSDE the city? Or maybe he said he had some sort of friends or something?" "I tried looking into the city just in case if he indeed had allies or something, but nothing came out of it." "He even said himself that he cannot get materials legally, but there was possibility of somebody stealing some for him." "I didn''t managed him to talk, but it''s better to ask." "Did he worked alone? Or by any chance he bbed something that may prove that we are still in danger?" "." "S-sorry. I don''t know anything." "." ''Sigh'' "Well If there are really anybody left on the necromancer side, they may came for you." "And now What do we do with those things?" C said Phantasia while grabbing the notes regarding the unliving heart research. "." "Hm." "You should take it... Wait no." C said Phantasia after trying to give the notes to the dwarf but then retreating his thoughts. "If the necromancer worked with somebody, then those notes may end up making you even bigger target Can I take them or do you want to me to hold onto them for now?" "." "Hm Okay. You take them." C said dwarf. "If you are right and the necromancer really did not worked alone, then those notes will be target." "But if that is the case, why not burn them down?" "That is the problem." "We can''t." "They are too valuable." "And honestly speaking, if I have it, then possible enemies will go after me instead of you. I cane back to life, but not you." "Hm. True." "Are you also taking the heart with you?" "Yeb. You don''t mind that?" "." "No." "Keep it. You earned it and you had also put a lot of effort in creating it anyway." "Thanks." "Anyway, we should get going. You probably want to rest as well as after all this." "OBVIOUSLY!" After looting any valuable remains in the necromancer base, I took the dwarf and escorted him back to the city while protecting him from the monsters along the way with my own magic and also my beasts. "Excuse me. Could you please call the person in charge of the guards?" C asked Phantasia after arriving at the city gate while wearing his wood mask. "Em I don''t think I can. He is- " Phantasia pointed at the dwarf. "Well, isn''t this guy you have been looking for?" "?!" "W-wait! Are you- " "Yes I''m Evilin." C said the dwarf. "I''m back. Call that Rnd guy now and tell him I''m back." "!?" "Y-yes!" C said the guard before running away. "." "Say. You remember how I told how the city was reacting with your disappearance. Won''t making that kind of scene be annoying to you?" C asked Phantasia. "." "Oh... oh shit." C said dwarf, realizing his mistake. Few momentster a crowd of people gathered near the dwarf, wanting to confirm if the dwarf in question was really the missing dwarf Evilin and that kind of made even more problems since as soon as people realized he was the real one, people began asking non stop what happed to him as well as me, wondering who am I. "." "Maybe you should had- " "I fuking know." C said dwarf. "Everybody! Please move out of the way!" C said the loud voice. "!" The crowd of people moved aside as the group of dark elves approached the dwarf and Phantasia. "!" "Its really you!" C said the dark elf guard. "Hey. Rnd." C said Evilin. "I''m home." "!" "Em. I know- " "Questioning. I got it, I got it. Lead the way." C said the dwarf while walking towards the dark elf alongside the Phantasia. "?" "Excuse, but he is?" C asked dark elf named Rnd. "He is the guy that rescued me. You will probably want him for questioning as well, won''t you?" "Y-yes." The dark elves guards took Phantasia/Wood Mask as well as the dwarf to their barracks for the questioning regarding the situation. "So Let me get this straight." C said the dark elf, Rnd. "This guy, pretended to be the necromancer ally, waited for him to drop the guard and the killed him instantly." "And the reason why you haven''t informed anybody about the necromancer was to make sure that the necromancer wouldn''t kill him or if there was a chance that the necromancer was not working alone?" "That is correct." C said wood mask. "However, even while investigating in secret, I did not found anything regarding his allies or they even existed. I even tried asking him, but he did not said anything." "Hm. But still The theory of somebody inside the city helping the necromancer does sound usible. There is a chance that there may be still a chance they maye after you." "By the way, what happened to that research? The unliving heart, yes?" "We burned it and destroyed everything." C said Wood Mask. "We don''t want anybody to use that research to do the thing the necromancer did." "Besides, the necromancer needed special data before he even kidnaped this guy, so without that research data, its impossible to create another heart or research it for a long time." "I see." "" [Few moments ago while the pair was on their way to the city.] "We should lie about the data and the heart?" C asked Evilin. "Yea. If there was really working for the necromancer inside the city, then its better to keep quiet about the research data and the heart and just said we destroyed it all." "What if the traitor is a guard? Then what?" "But we should probably talk about the important of the research and how it was needed to create the heart." "Hm True. Without necromancer notes the research would have been impossible." - said the dwarf. "Okay. Let''s do it." [Back to the present.] "Hm I understand." "Anyway, thank you mister Wood Mask for rescue of the Evilin." "The Dawn city is grateful for your deed." "No problem." C said Phantasia. "Anyway, is there anything else to do? Do you need me to sign some paperster on or something? Or maybe go for another questioning?" "Em No. You are free to go." "But Evilin, I will need to speak with you bit moreter on." ''Sigh'' "I get it, but can I rest up first? At least for today." "O-of course Evilin." C said the dark elf guard. "Then, I should get going. My disciples are probably worried like hell as well and thest thing I need them to do is cry like babies." "Okay, take care." Phantasia alongside Evilin used the back entrance of the barracks to leave the building unnoticed and not encounter the group of worried people. ". Jezz... That was good idea to use back entrance." C said dwarf while noticing a huge group of people outside the barracks. "Yea Do you have some sort of fan club or something?" C said Phantasia while walking alongside the dwarf. "Well I do know I have fans But this is too much. ''Sigh''." ''There are also those fuckers in the mix as well who wants to take care of me right now." "Competition?" "Yea Annoying." "." "Anyway, do you need something from me?" "" "Well. Honestly speaking, I''m a craftsman myself and honestly, I originally came to this ce because of the rich materials this ce had." "But then you went and straight up disappeared, making the whole city go in panic and straight up hindering my own research and training." "I honestly didn''t even knew your existed. But now well" "." "You want to make me your disciple?" "Well, kind of? Honestly, I''m fine with the heart and the research data, but you know If possible, for saving you and everything." "." "Okay. Fuck it. I do own you big time." "!" "Wait! Really?!" "Yea, yea. Sure. I already seen you in action when crafting and you weren''t half bad either, so it won''t be exactly waste of time." "Yes!" "But not now. Honestly, I want to recover a bit and rest up. Come few dayster." "Okay. Thanks." "No problem. Just don''t disappoint me." C said dwarf while walking away. "." (PERFECT!)

(The mutation process still seem not finished, I was kind of expecting it to be instance Oh well, it doesn''t really look like it will take that long.) (But overall, it was all worth!) (I had worked my ass for how fuking long, but worth it.) (I had managed to learn a lot of things from the necromancer and not only that, I even obtained his notes and data!) (It will be extremely crucial for my cyborg experiments and I can already see a lot of different ways how I can abuse it!) (Not only that, I had managed to kill that necromancer with the "Surprise".) (Honestly, I originally thought about putting a one shot crossbow in my w hand, but I went with the short range power shotgun, since it would be like ast resort type of weapon in case of danger. I patronized only rough power andpletely ignored any option of reloading during battle and stuff.) (It did damaged my hand quiet badly, but it did extremely huge damage at point nk range.) (Hepletely dropped his guard in thest moment, allowing me to st him right in the head.) (Honestly, I was nning him on killing as soon as possible, the moment he would show his first weakness, I would have killed him.) (Back then, the shotgun surprise was already in my arm back then. I original nned on killing him right then, but I decided to gather information first and it was worth it, since not only I gained that bastard trust my bing his servant, but I also gained his teaching, skills, data and even the heart he waited so long to create.) (But oh well, good time came to pass. I even made the surprise shotgun even stronger just in case, even by cost of damaging myself in the process, but it turns out that it was worth it.) (Honestly, I would have shitted myself if he would have somehow survived that And I mean it, I would straight up question how.) (I mean, maybe it would have been under statable if he was warrior or something, since this is a world of magic and everything where people use straight up magic bombs or just guns.) (Oh well, he is dead and it''s all good.) (Not only that, thanks to manipting him to notmit any crimes managed to get me the dwarf trust AND he epted me as his discipline!) (I honestly was ready for him to say no, since I already took the heart and the data, but fuck me he agreed?! How good of a guy is he?!) (How much an improved I can get from him?!) (From one hand, the necromancer knowledge.)n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om (From the other the dwarf knowledge.) (If Ibine those things and use them for my cyborg research. Oh boy. This will be interesting!) "." "Huh." (Now that I think about, when was thest time I yed the role of the viin?) (Hm. A lot of time had passed already. I mean I was somewhat evil, but I only this time pretended to be evil.) (.) (Oh well, it can wait even longer.) (Right now I should focus on learning things from the dwarf and be a good boy. For now.) (Hm. I also should about the chimeras and as for gue. Yea there is no way I can deal with that.) (I also should think about my future n of action.) (A lot of yers started appearing here and everything. Hm. I will definitelyg again in terms of leveling up. Meh. Fuck it.) (I will just get strong enough to catch to all of this mothefucker.) (And maybe. I don''t know I will set this entire city on fire?) (Oh. It will be fun.) (But for now let''s y the waiting game once again, since I need time right now and get along with my new "Teacher".) Chapter 76 – Dwarf welcoming test. The news of the Evilin rescue as well as the whole truth of the incident spread wide and far though the city in the single day. Many people calmed down and everything, but they also wanted to know who did that. Yea, I asked the guards not to disclose the informations too much since I don''t want to deal with random people, but still a lot of people saw me escorting the dwarf to the city and everything, so I was still bothered a lot. So, I tried staying hidden a bit at least. As for the dwarf, he was recovering. He wasn''t tortured or abused since the necromancer did needed him to be at top shape at all the time. But still, he did needed to take a break since he was working nonstop each day. But he did not forgotten about the deal made with me. "Allow me to introduce this guy. He is the guy who had saved me as well as my new disciple. Wood Mask." C said the Evilin, introducing Phantasia to his apprentices. "Hello. Hope we get along." C said Phantasia. "You don''t need to worry about this bastard over here." C said dwarf. "I didn''t just epted him because he saved me, but he is also a skilled craftsman and I seen him work first handedly." "But if you don''t like it, you can watch him in action and then judge him. I''m not saying to ept him instantly or anything like that, since he is a total stranger and everything to you all." "Hm Nah. I guess its fine, since he is the one who rescued you boss." C said the young male dark elf. "True. We do own him for saving the master." C said the tall female orc. "But its also true that you should prove yourself to us, so we wouldn''tin or anything like that." "Don''t worry, I will try not to disappoint you all." C said Phantasia. "Good." C said dwarf. "Anyway, I know you are good and everything kiddo, but I would like you to see bit more of your skills and then see where we should start for real." "As you wish." "Good." "Then the first test is simple, just make some different type of weapons or armors and just let me see them." [You have received quest.] [Evilin test.] [Evilin, the legendary cksmith of the Dawn city has decided to take you as his apprentice. However, you have yet to prove how much you are actually worth in terms of crafting.] [To see what you got, create different items to see what kind of creations you can make.] [Armor set type items that consist at least of 3 pieces.] [Weapon.] [The extra slot item (Ring, bracelet, ne or earrings.)] [You are not allowed to use any materials with [Umon] rarity and above.] [Reward: Depends] [Failure: Depends] (Hm Seems simple enough.) "So, I cannot use any special materials or anything like that?" "Yes, just a simple ones." "Materials are not the things that determines the cksmith skills and often person own skills allows them to create something good enough, even without any high ranking materials." C said the dwarf. "Hm Understand." "You can use this ce workshop if you like as well as materials since we have a lot, but don''t use too many since you are not yet the official disciple." "Got it." (The test seems pretty simple. I can use any materials as long as they are not [Umon] rarity and above.) "Question. Do I have a total freedom when creating the equipment? For example, does the equipment need to have specific weigh limit?"N?v(el)B\\jnn "For example a heavy armor that is good for knights, but too heavy for the mages will be no go?" "Nope." "As long as they are useable, it doesn''t matter how heavy they are as long they are good and useable." "Hm Okay." Phantasia fallowed one of the apprentices and arrived at the smith room. "The materials are over there if you are wondering. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." C said the female orc before walking away. "." (Iron. Cooper. Beast fur, monster fur, huh. They have a lot ofmon rarity items? Wasn''t expecting this.) (Anyway, what should I create. The quest stated that the armor set needs to be at least made out of 3 items, but there is no upper limit.) (Hm. Should I make an equipment set that also works with the weapon I make?) (He said that there is no weigh limit, but it need to be usable. Should I go with a simple design?) (Overplicated design doesn''t make things necessary good.) (But ifplicated stuff make good equipment than its fine.) (. Hm Should I aim for bit hard, but not too hard to use equipment?) (.) (Hm. Let''s keep it a simple, but try to make it as effective as possible at its job.) After decided what to create, I go straight to the work. The design is both simple and bit special. As for the extra slot item, I went and created an [Agility Ne]. I honestly even made good one as well. Anyway, after finishing my items, I headed straight to the dwarf and showed off my equipment. "So What exactly is that? An armor?" [Wild Pugilist Armor] [Rarity: Umon] "Yes. It''s a light armor, but with some proper defense." "Boots, pants, chest and arms." "As for the extra item, I went with ne enchanting agility. I did made it pretty solid as well." "I see But where are the weapons?" "There are gauntlets." "Specifically the brass knuckles type weapon with sharp edge." "I had also reinforced the back parts of the arms, since I though about making it be used as an shield." "I was thinking of making something moreplicated like for example an de that can extended and then hidden, but for the martial artist and anybody who uses their fists it would instead get in their way." "It would make their attacks bit predictable, but it would make it effective." "However, for the brawler I think it was better idea to instead turn the back parts of the arms armor into shields, allowing brawler to block or counter attacks." "Hm. True." "Martial artist and brawlers don''t carry anything like shield, so instead of having part of the armor that cat act like shield." C said the dwarf while inspecting the armor. "A simple design, but quite effective. And the reason for the agility type ne?" "Two reason. Movement speed and the arms speed." "The faster you can move your arms, the higher chance you have to block the attack." "Vitality was also good option, but having an ability to block instead of taking hit head on is a better option, isn''t it?" ". True True." "Very clever you bastard. And the armor was not made half assed or anything. It''s a proper made armor and everything." "Very well." "This passes the test." "Congrattion." [You havepleted quest: Evilin test.] [You have obtained: 10 ck iron / Your cksmithing type sses receive ss points.] (Oh? That is a nice reward. 10 ck C WAIT A FUKING SECOND?!) (I got ss points?!) (You can get ss points from quests?! HOW?!) (Wait. They are only for cksmith ss ones, BUT STILL! WTF!?) (I didn''t obtained arge amount, but instead very small amount, BUT STILL I GOT SOME!?) (I only though the titles were alternative method of obtaining ss and stat points, but you are telling me the quests can also give you some?!) "Anyway, now that you have proven that you have skills of the cksmith and is not some nobody who rys only materials, it''s time for training." "The training is simple. Well. Just be simple." "?" "Em Simple?" "Yeb." "Simple." "Like basic knowledge and stuff." "Simple and basic crafting methods." "I know, I know. You probably know about basic knowledge, but sometimes knowing basic "Basic" is not enough." "You will often encounter problems that may not requite some overplicated or extremely special answers, but a simple ones. But what if you are unable to give that simple answer?" "Not only that, but the better you are at the core basics, the better your overall crafting skill will be and this is the fact." "Honestly, I can talk over and over again like old geezer why the basics are so important for many good reasons, but just fuck it." "I will just say this. The basics and the simple methods are extremely important and should not be forgotten or left behind. There will oftene time and need for them and so you should learn about them as well as develop them." "It''s better to do it now before you start encounter any stupid problemster on that may halt youpletely." "After the training, I will give you the second test where you will have to create some simple equipment. Like for example, create simple armor and sword with only basic and simple knowledge, but only at the core." "Create simple and basic, but good equipment." "The second test will be quite easy, but you can easily fuck it up, if you know what I mean And if you don''t then you will get bitch pped by reality." "And don''t you even think to say or think that this is waste of time." "Trust me, don''t do it. I did and he straight up humiliated me afterworlds." C said the dark elf disciple passing by. "Yea, he is one of the guys who forgotten about basic and got humiliated by reality when I gave him that damned second test. Honestly, even I failed that test when my teacher gave it to me for the first time." "By the way, I''m not taking no for an answer." "Everybody who wants to be my disciple and work for me shall do that basic training and test. And don''t even think about taking it easy, got it?" "Hm." (Well, he isn''t wrong.) (Basic are important, 100% sure. I even encounter some problems of my own where the simplest answers was often the right answers. And I meant that in terms of crafting, for example when I was trying to create that power crossbow for the first time. I overplicated things to the point it could not work where I just had to do simple changes instead.) (And he probably means it about some future problems. HE did proven his skills right in front of me when we were making the Unliving Heart AND during experiments. He indeed proven with his own actions that he is not some randomly skilled bastard, but a really hard working talented bastard.) (So listening to him about basic doesn''t seem like bad idea. Not only that, but the quest he gave me did provided me with special ss points for cksmithing skills.) (This was. Completely unexpected situation and something I was even expected to be real and I''m still extremely shocked and confused about that whole situation.) (I mean. I never knew that the quest can give you skill points if not also stat points. But this?) (If I stay by this guy side and learn from him and doing quest for him will end giving me more ss points, then I have now even more reasons to stay by his side and learn from him at all cost!) (Not only for his cksmithing skills and knowledge, but also for the ss points.) (The higher ranking sses are now consuming way more ss points, making their growth much slowerpare to the before.) (However if by staying right next to this guy will prove me with ss points Then is 100%. I won''t have need to spend any of my own ss points on the cksmith sses, allowing me to save up points and upgrade my other sses.) (Heck. I was not expecting to gain that kind of power boost form it all, but I will dly take it and if anything, I want MORE!) "." (Oh. Oh fuck. Yea. I kind of now realized some problems as well Especially concerning that dwarf "Okay. I will do it." C said Phantasia. "Good." "Fallow me. I will show you what will need to do." "Coming." C said Phantasia while walking towards the dwarf. (Well, there maybe a lot of problems and questions right now, but I guess I need to ignore it.) (And for now instead focus on getting as much benefits as possible from being this guy pupil.) Chapter 77 – To become dwarf apprentice. After starting my training under the Evilin, I listen to each and every of hismands in order to learn any crafting skills as well as possible obtain ss point I could possible obtained. The first dwarf was about basics and simple craft. After training waspleted, the dwarf gave me his second test. [Evilin Second Test] [Create equipment using only basic and simple methods.] The test seemed simple But it was kind of not? Simply put, I cannot use any special crafting methods or anything. At first, I thought it would be easy and everything, but then I realized that it will be bit harder. The first de I created was simple yes, but the de that dwarf created with simple methods was much better. Apparently, I need to focus on the basics and maximize some of its aspects so I can understand them and then use that knowledge to improve different form of craftingter on. Honestly, it does sounds like bullshit in some way. But unfortunately, that weird advice that the dwarf gave me seems to be real. So I focuses on basics and trying to make as simple as possible, simply put mass producing des until I got it right. It was quiet annoying quest but I got it. [You havepleted quest: [Evilin Second Test].] It took few tries but I finally got it. It was bit annoying, but interesting quest as well. And not only that, I also got small amount of cksmith rted ss points again. Damn. I''m happy and everything, but this is also a problem. I honestly only focused on myself and on my own evil, but you are telling if I focused on the others andpleted their quest, I may have obtained some ss points or stat points? How much did I missed by any chance? Or. Maybe I did not? The titles are about telling the story of the user, yes? I got a lot of titles and everything by embracing my "Story", but if I focus on the others story will I also gain something? If so, maybe it''s like branched paths I can take where each path have different benefits and oues? . Ah fuck. I will focus onpleting other people quests from now on to see if that is true or not. But for now, dwarf and his lessons. "Hm. Nah. You will just focus on learning. No tests for now." C said the dwarf. ". Wait, really?" C asked extremely confused Phantasia. "B-but don''t I need to prove myself bit more or something?" (GIVME YOUR QUEST DAMN YOU!) "Well, you do have to in a way." "But not in the terms of basic stuff." "I saw how you craft stuff as well as saw some of your creations you made before bing my apprentice." "So, we will just skip right through it all and instead give you final test." (. Wait. So did I missed few quests because I was TOO GOOD?! Please tell me the final quest does give me rewards from previous quest at least or I will. Em I really can''t do anything about it. Shit.) "Anyway, the test is simple." "You will be given variant materials and your job is to create many different weapons, armors and other sort of equipment''s." "One of the most important part when ites to crafting is creativity." "This final test." "It will also show me what kind of craftsman you are as well." [Evilin Final Test (Modified)] [You have shown your worth and skills as craftsman and now it''s time to show your real poetical to the Evilin.] [Evilin will give you a list of materials you are allowed to use and using those materials you will need to create various items that can different from another or maybe have simr purpose. It''s all up to you as long as the items are useable.] [Reward from this quest get upgrade ording to the tests you have skipped. However, the overall reward from it all will depend only you.] (Oh, thank god, it seems I will get the rewards from skipping the quest.) (Still. Not basics nor effectiveness, but now just show my real skills, huh?) (So, no holding back?) "Question." "How many items should I make?" "Few." "Like few different armor sets." "Few different weapons." "And some trinkets and other stuff." "Just show me what you go." ". No holding back or any big restriction?" C asked Phantasia. "Only not some extremely expensive materials and stuff, only stuff from the list is allowed and if you want to use something that is not on the list, you will have to first talk with me." C said the dwarf while taking out a scroll and handing to the Phantasia. Phantasia took the scroll from the man and rolled it open, inspecting what is written on it. "." (Hm There are quiet few good materials I can use on this list. There shouldn''t be any extremely big problems or anything like that.) C though Phantasia while looking at the list of materials written on the list. "." "Fine. I got it." "About the materials, do I have to use my own or I have to use workshop materials?" C asked Phantasia. "This time you will have to use your own materials unfortunately." "Many of my connections needed to change their clients to other crafters since they need to keep their own business active." "I''m currently restoring those connecting." "It shouldn''t take too long, but now there are few problems here and there." "Hm Make sense. There are probably some of yourpetitions in the mix as well who may try not let you recover." C said Phantasia. "Yea And that is the annoying truth." C said the dwarf who sounded exhausted. "Anyway, there is no time limit or anything, so just take your time." "." "Hm. Fine. Then I will get going." C said Phantasia before waving to the dwarf and then leaving his room. (The quests seems simple. Nor there will be any major problems with getting materials myself. Even if some of the dwarf enemies would pick fight with me, I can just take off and on my mask as well as change equipment.) (There is also ore merchant Mario who is good guy I had made connections with through my stay in the city.) (So honestly, there won''t be any problems at all with getting materials.) (Honestly speaking. It''s just straight up simple and easy quest at the first nce... But it''s not.) (The dwarf want to see me at my current 100%, in terms of crafting.) (He wants to see what I got on my own and what short of things I can create without holding back.) (Expectation or something.) (So, I cannot fuck this up.) (Not only that. But the rewards from the previous quest were now put together with the final quest. So, if I fuck up, I may end up losing a lot and I mean it.) (Not only that, but this is [FINAL] test, right? Does that mean that there would be a huge reward at the end and depending how well I performed I could obtain something extremely rare or something?) (This quest is not simple at all and maybe instead it''s extremely important for my future growth.) Phantasia left the workshop and headed to his own home located in the city. "." "Hm." C Phantasia picked a hammer on the table and looked at it. (Question. How much time? How much time I would need to spend before I can finally take the actions for real?) (For my future ns I need learn from the cksmith. But there are yers.) (I know and I did predicted for the yers to out level me, but considering current circumstances I cannot even start preparing my ns.) (I tried replicating the dwarf skills and techniques while I was working with them at the [Unliving Heart], but the results weren''t what I hoped for. I don''t necessarily need a lot, but I do need some skills and knowledge from this guy.) (And without enough skills and knowledge from that guy, I cannot truly start.) "." "No I cannot rush it." C though Phantasia while putting the hammer on his anvil. (The rewards I could obtain from that quest could be extremely big. And if they are rted to cksmithing then I have more than one reason not to take easy.) (Depending how big of a reward I can get from this, I will improve my own power by a lot.) (Well. My current stats are quite high already.) "[Status: Open]." [Phantasia] [Level 254] [Race: Undead / Zombie [Sub Race 1: Human Undead] [Sub Race 2: Cyborg] [Stats] [Health:707] [Mana:1162] [Stamina:707] [Strengh:733] [Agility:732] [Inteligent:982] [Vitality:612] [Extra Stat(s)] [Necromancy Mastery:940] [Tamin Mastery: 620] [Unspent stat points:0] [sses] [Rarity: Common] [Alchemist] [cksmith] [Poison Mage] [Necromancer] [Summoner] [Tamer] [Monster Tamer] [Brawler] [Chaos Researcher: First Research C [gue] [Rarity: Umon] [Alchemist cksmith] [Advance cksmith] [Advance Alchemist] [High Poison Mage] [Advance Necromancer] [Elemental Summoner: Poison] [Elemental Summoner: Necrotic] [Ring Brawler] [Chaos Research: Second Research C [Chimera] [Rarity: Rare] [Chaos Research: Third Research C [Modification/Cyborg] [Special effects] [Unliving Heart C Process [Unfinished] C 32%] [Titles special effects] [Poison - Tier 4] [Title Rank: D (Grow) [Increase the damage done by the poison type attacks (Not including items) done by you 4%] (My current stats are extremely high AND I had amassed a huge amount of ss points.) (However those umon rarity sses eat way more points thanmon rarity sses and that is bit problematic.) (And especially the third research, [Modification/Cyborg] eats extremely lot and I mean like the average gab in ss point consumption between themon and umon sses is nothing alike to the third research.) (Is it because I created powerful research that I need to pay shit tons of points to raise this ss, beside the fact that I need to also invest ss points into the sses that are directly linked with those sses?) (But the [Advance cksmith] beside ss points also needs time since I need to level up the [Advance cksmithing] in order to have ability to level up this ss.) "." "Still, its not really that bad." C said Phantasia to himself after sitting down on the chair. (I don''t know about the average yer strength, but I got to say that I''m strong. But I also have some problems.) (Chimera, gue and cyborg need modification, preparation and all other stuff.) (My current chimeras need to level up and I also need to create some new chimeras.) (I cannot research or develop any gues right now with the current environment, meaning that even if do create some gue, it should not be OP in any way.) (And the cyborg modification are still on the bottom since I only focused on making it stronger since I didn''t really had time.) "But that will soon all change." C said Phantasia while looking at his mechanical hand. "Unliving Heart research." "Necromancer knowledge and skills." "The dwarf teachings." (If Ibine all of those 3 things and create a perfect link between all of them just like the dwarf and necromancerbined their knowledge and skills to create Unliving Heart, I will be able to turn myself into a REAL MONSTER!) (But the problem is the dwarf.) (I read though some of the notes and research regarding the Unliving Heart.) (I can use some of that knowledge, but not the full thing.)N?v(el)B\\jnn (Unfortunately, I need the dwarf teachings even for that. Not only to improve my own crafting skills, but also use his teachings andbine it with other stuff in order to turn myself into the monster.) (But as soon as I learn what I needed from him and use his knowledge to fill out the gabs in my own research, then there won''t be any more reason to hold back.) (Its just matter of sweet time before the "Doctor" returns and wreak havoc once again.) "." "Well, first I need to be the official dwarf apprentice first, so I guess I should get to the work already." C said Phantasia to himself before getting up and picking his hammer. "Let''s not disappoint that bastard now." Chapter 78 – What to create? "Hm." C Phantasia stared at his anvil as well as hammer and piece of metal. Phantasia lifted his hammer, but then quickly slowed down, retracting his current though and putting the hammer down. "What the hell should I make for that dwarf to judge. I cannot make anything weak, since I need to show off." C said Phantasia after walking away from his anvil and then taking out the list of the materials from the list that he is allowed the use. ". I can easily create rare rarity item with those materials. But again, what should I make?" "Making rare rarity item is one thing, but it cannot be some trash or anything like that. I need to think. And by it, I mean a lot." (The dwarf wants to see my creativity and poetical... So, I shouldn''t try to make any items that are way too simr to each other I have option.) (.) (Should I make the upgraded version of the armor I made before? The one for brawlers?) (The armor DOES have good design with the arms having thicker defense on the back of the arms that could be used as shields. It''s a very good design if I say so and I can definitely improve it by a lot since I''m not restrained by any big conditions.) (For example, I could add an extra weapon that would be a hidden de that can extend from below or above hand that could be used for assassination or parry. But should I really use that armor design as base?) (I think it would been way better idea if I make something different. But the problem is that I need to create several items...) "." "Should I explode my strongest points?" (So far, one of my most notable things about me is my magical mechanical skills.) (They are still not somewhat high rank, and there is also the fact that I still didn''t obtained ss [Mechanic] that specializes in dealing with [Mechanical] items and structure. I need to max level my [cksmith] to get it, but fortune all I need to do is to raise the [Advance cksmithing] and that it.) (However, since I was running a lot of errands for that necromancer, I didn''t had a lot of time to practice and use cksmithing.) (It would have been perfect if I had it already.) (But still, I do know some means of making some mechanical magical things.) (But the problem is power source.) (When I''m doing any transformation of my own body I''m using my own energy, for example MP. And also depending how I make it, the amount of MP consumed will change.) (There is also the fact that the mechanical parts of my body are parts of ME! Meaning that I have way better control over them, allowing me to do different stuff.) "." "Hm..." "That bastard. He wants me to get creative as possible and even force me to improve myself on my own if I don''t want to disappoint him. I kind of feels like he knew about it all along with that whole quest." C said annoyed Phantasia. (I don''t know if I should be extremely annoyed or impressed.) (Either way, what should I make?) (.) Phantasia opened his inventory and took out one of his own notebooks and opened it, revealing a blueprint of a crossbow like weapon. "I was nning on making that sooner orter. But I guess I could use it to impress the dwarf." "It does have major problems, but its doing its job excellently well." [Power Shot Ballista Crossbow] (But what should I do about other weapons?) (He said that the trinkets are OK too. So, I can try making tricky weapon.) (...) "I could maybe try recreating a weapon version of my chained mace as a normal weapon But the weight would be bit problematic." "Some strong bastards would be able to use it. But the crossbow ballistas will be also heavy weapon." "Hm.!" "Oh! How about instead of face I would make it into a small one handed axe?" "But wait I would need to add special engine to make the weapon chain quickly retract. Can I make it?" (I mean, it did worked with my own body since I was the one paying directly the cost. But there will be definitely few problems.) (Its worth trying. But there is also option it will fail.) (So far, all magic items with trigger effects were rted to crafting But I didn''t really made them but instead repaired them. I''m talking about the scapegoat elf guy who had been poisoned with the memory wiping poison.) (I repaired his equipment that was destroyed by him when he forgotten who he was and went frenzy.) (I should be somewhat make some mechanical magic items No. I can do it.) (But the question is: Can I make them the way I want it to with my current abilities?) "." "Hm...Well, the only way to find is to try and do it." "." "But again, should I go with that approach?" "It would be just axe attached by chain, but with addition of being able to quickly be retrieved." "Would that really impress the dwarf?" "." "It could. If I made the weapon have quiet fast retrieving effect." "But there is also problem with the main part of the weapon, the axe." Read exclusive content at empire "I could change the chape of the de a bit, making it wider so the attacks wouldnd easier. But the weapon itself need to weight a bit as well as need to have some power of its own." "." Phantasia took out a piece of paper and began writing down his idea. (I don''t know how long it would take with researching this thing, so maybe I should put it onter if not just make it emergency idea, depending on the circumstances.) (As for the third weapon... Should I go with something simple?) (Like a sword or shield?) (Simple base design may do the trick in some way and it would show off my ability to create something different.) (.) "Should I try making magic sword?" "I could maybe try and add a necrotic element using the necrotic mana crystal Hm" "This could also work. And bit easily. But I need to made a solid one." "." ''Sigh'' "FUCK ME!" C shouted ClownFrog in his house. (I really and I mean really don''t want to make anything pathetic and disappoint the dwarf and make the reward I would obtain end up bing way weaker.) (I have few ideas, but I don''t know what to pick.) (And its not also the god dammed weapons I have to worry about, but also armor sets and pieces.) (Should I maybe make an armor and weaponbination?) (For example have a de that can stick out from top or the bottom of the arm that can be used to stab people?) (However, simple armors that just focuses on its primally task such as stat boost or armor will also be good, if I made them correctly.) (But the problem is showing off.) (I need to show off as much as possible with my crafting skills.) (The best course of action would be to at least make 1 simple armor set and 1 simple weapon while also making 1 bit weird armor set and 1 bit weird weapon.) (The crossbow is good idea, but it''s both weirdplex, but also extremely simple when it woulde to using it.) "It is a good choice But what should be my remaining creations be?" Magic weapon in weapon. Mechanical Weapon. Magic gear. in gear. Mechanical gear. Magic weapon / armor. in weapon / armor. Mechanical weapon / armor. Gadget type trinkets (For example throwing weapon or maybe special tools). (There is also option of trying to make mechanical magical items But can I make it? I mean I kind of did with my body, but making it into item version ispletely different thing.) (Honestly, I don''t think I have ability to create item like that. I can use mana somewhat to maybe turn some parts magical to give it a specific ability But I don''t think of-) "." "Wait... Hm." "Not that I think about Isn''t there anything from the Unliving Heart research of the necromancer knowledge I can use?" (But what I could use?) (No No. It wouldn''t work with the Unliving Hear research. I stillck the dwarf teachings and everything.) (I don''t think I could create anything big and if anything, if I would try to create something big, then it would have definitely in the failure...Wait.) "Failure?" ".Wasn''t there. Wait But that." "Would that. Would that really work?" "When we did experimenters with. Maybe I can somewhat weaponize "That" effect?" "But what sort of form would I gave it? An simple one? But would that work. Wait What if?" "." "A gun." (Not a normal gun, but a gun that would fire magic? Simple put anplicated weapon but easy to use. No. Wait YES! It could work!) Upon realizing something, Phantasia quickly took out the research notes regarding the Unliving Heart creation and experiments and began reading them. (When we were making the Unliving Heart where we couldn''t keep energy too stable, the energy would leave the heart and fire a unstable beam of necrotic energy. IT IS POSSIBLE to fire an energy like that, but we did that by ident.) (However it still proves that the energy can be "Shot".) (If I somewhat stabilize the beam of magic and make it more powerful. Then I could very possible turn into an functional weapon! An gun that can fire magic!) "I think I should be somewhat recreate the incident on my own.. But there are few missing parts of informations.. And also other annoying stuff." "" "I need to ask the dwarf regarding this." "I know it may spoil the element of surprise a bit, but with his knowledge he may know if that kind of weapons exist in this world or not and that information alone may end up revealing an possible of me being able to create the magic gun." Phantasia quickly left his home and ran straight to the workshop and managed to have a short private talk with the dwarf. "A magic gun?" C asked confused dwarf. "Yea. I''ve been wondering if there exist something in this world already. A gun that can use user mana as ammunition to fire or. You know." C said Phantasia. "Hm. Well, there exist weapons like for example magic bows that are also knows as mana bows or energy bows. Anyway, those weapons have an ability to manifest an arrows using caster mana or other form of energy as well as the magic crossbows that works in simr way, but the guns... I maybe consider by many as an extremely talented and well known cksmithing in this city, but that does not mean I know every single weapon type in existence or materials. I''m not some all-knowing sage and stuff. I''m just a guy." C said the dwarf while wondering in his thoughts. "I DID made guns before. Rifles and pistoles. I even made some magical ones, but energy pistoles that can fire using the user mana? Sorry, never made any mana guns in my life unfortunately..."C said the dwarf while grabbing his chin. ". Maybe... Maybe it is possible to create a magic guns if not somebody already made, the mana bows and mana crossbows does exists, so why shouldn''t mana guns exits?" "But the weapons like the mana bow or mana crossbow needs a lot a materials, especially the mana gems or mana crystals that would act like the catalyst." "The mana bows and mana crossbows can be technically be consider like the mage catalyst weapons such as staffs, wands, magic books, magic conductors and some other mage weapons." "If one were to try to make either mana bow or mana crossbow, they would need both knowledge and experience regarding mage catalyst weapons." ". BUT it is possible to make mana bows and mana crossbows, since there are people who had made, right?" C said Phantasia. "Yea. Its no secret that they can be made, but they do requite some effort." C said the dwarf. "And regarding the mana gun. I think they exist, but I''m not really sure as well?" " I can maybe look into them. But considering your expression I think you are already thinking of making one, aren''t you?" C said the dwarf while observing Phantasia unmasked face. ". Yea You got me extremely motivated with that whole mana bow and mana crossbow stuff." C said Phantasia while smiling excitedly. "." "Heh." "Well, I won''t be forcing you or anything. Honestly, you don''t really need to make that mana gun or magic gun or what ever you want to call it." "The test is only about making good and functioning items." "So, if that mana gun situation won''t work out, don''t worry." "I never even though that something like that existence in the first ce, so I don''t really know what I would expect or how I would rate it." "The items only need to be good and useable. The test is about showing me your creativity and poetical, so don''t forget about it." "I understand... Thanks for the informations." C said the Phantasia. "No problem. Honestly that idea of yours did got me interested, but I really don''t have time right now to experiment about it myself since I''m still busy with restoring piece in my workshop." C said the dwarf while getting up. "Anyway, I already talked enough. I need to get going already and get back to the work. See yater Wood Mask." C said the dwarf before leaving the room. "." "So It may be possible." (Honestly, I didn''t knew that there are weapons like mana bow or mana crossbow. But now? They somewhat confirmed the existence of the mana guns!) (They may existed or may not, but if they really do exist and I can really make them, then this is extremely huge for me!) (Now I need to research it at all cost!) "." "Wait a second... If I...." "." "Pfffff!" C Phantasia tried to stop himself fromughing by covering his mouth with his hand. (Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man.)N?v(el)B\\jnn (I thought about something extremely nasty. But unfortunately, I don''t think I would be able to make something like that right now. "Right now,".) (But I wonder if it will be possible to create it in the FUTURE?!) C though Phantasia while having an evil smile on his face. Chapter 79 – Mana gun – Research. {{Note from author.}} {{I realized I was quiet stupid and didn''t realized this obvious mistake. So, I''m going to just say andugh at me if you want.}} {{The ranking system of titles have been changed from E/D/C/B/A/S tomon/umon/rare/epic/unique/Legendary.}} {{There was straight up no need to do the letter ranking.}} {{Sorry for my extremely stupid mistake that had not realized that.}} {{From now new chapters will have this new ranking instead.}} After having that talk with the dwarf I instantly went around the market and tried to look for any mana bow or mana crossbows. I wanted to buy some in order to study them and maybe use that knowledge from them in order to create the mana gun. I know, I know. It''s way better idea to ask the dwarf for assistance. He may posses a lot of key informations and knowledge that could help me out. Especially the information regarding the mana bow and mana crossbow. I could use those two items for the research of the mana gun. HOWEVER! This is a test that dwarf gave me. He wants to see what can I do without having any big restriction or anything like that. I cannot ry too much on the dwarf with this and if would to do that, it may end up hindering the final score from the quest and this is something I don''t want at all! I want to. The possible reward from this quest could be extremely big and I need the highest score possible. Anyway, I decided to only ry on myself I possible. But then I ran into annoying problem. Nobody was selling mana bows or mana crossbows here. There goes my n straight out of the window. SHIT. (I guess I have to do everything from the scratch, huh?) C though Phantasia while reading the notes in his house. (Well, I do have the notes regarding the incident how and why exactly it happened I should be able to recreate the incident somewhat.) (But the problems will definitelye after that, since I have to somehow weaponize that effect.) And so, I began trying and recreate the incident where the magic power was shout out by ident.) And so, I began experimenting, trying to recreate the incident where the energy st went flying from the prototype Unliving Heart. It took quiet few tries, but after ending up taking some more risker approach, I ended up obtaining the results I wanted. The device I created was able to fire those rampaging beams of energy. But unfortunately, there are several problems. The first problem was the energy was unstable and not very strong. I idently shot the wall while making it, but the wall sustained barely any damage. Yea. I mean that waspletely random shot in random direction, but the power output is straight upughable... This will definitely take time. I managed to assemble the prototype mana gun into a form of pistole. The first prototype. Em... It did shot the magic wave. But it straight up did no damage at all. Like nothing. Not only that, the energy itself waspletely unstable and was changing directions when fired and sometimes the energy would straight disperse when flying. There was also the range of the pistole not being really that far. (Damn I encounter arge problem from get go, huh?) C though Phantasia while holding the mana gun in his hand. "I know how to make it fire those magic shots, but I don''t know how to stabilize them Shit." (Should I try and increase the power output?) "." "No It won''t solve it and instead it may end up casing the gun to explode. I first have to find a way to stabilize it." "." (Should I do something about the gun barrel?) (Guns usually have a spiral inside that gives the gun a spin as well as makes sure that they goes in straight line as well as other stuff. I looked up information about the guns on the interested.) (But would that work with the mana gun?) (I mean, I will be firing an energy st instead of actual bullets. I can try and everything. But should I instead and try and understand how to make a magic ammunition just how mana bows and mana crossbows do?) (But I have zero knowledge regarding that ammunition creation stuff... Dammit.) (The best course of action would be to find a way to stabilize the magic shot as well as find out how can I increase its power.) "Dammit. The dwarf knowledge would have been perfect for this... Should I just fuck it and make something different instead? He said that he won''t mind not making the mana gun at all." "." (But it''s also a perfect opportunity to show off. The dwarf himself never made mana gun before and he also knows that I never made anything like that.) (If I manage to make properly working one, it could impress the dwarf by a lot.) "." "Fuck it." "I''m still doing it for now." (There is no time limit what so ever, so I can take my time researching and stuff.) (But it would be idea not to waste too much time.) (However, what should I do exactly.) "." Phantasia took out the prototype mana gun blueberry that he created before and put it on the table. "So What should I do?" (Power is one thing, but if I don''t do anything about that range and disability, the gun will be worthless. I need to deal with all 3 problems.) (Should I try to change the gun from for example to the rifle?) (I don''t really need to stick with handgun model until I start trying to make real one and I may end up changing the end model from handgun to a different form of gun.) "But again. Stability and power." "I need to do something with the gun barrel as well as try and somewhat increase the power output." "I may need to try out making the different parts of the gun with different materials." "This will cost a lot of money, but it will also take a lot of time. Well, lets hope it will be worth." And so, the real start of the mana gun starts. Honestly, the research was quite interesting. And I mean like a lot. I did failed over and over again for days, but I was getting more and more results. I won''t really talk or exin each and every day and night of the research, since all I was doing was the research and hunting, over and over again each day. But instead, I will only talk about most important details and discoveries I made. For my first objective was to do something with that unstable energy. Even if I make the gun barrel somewhat able to make the energy go in straight line, the unstable wild energy will just a bit in straight line before curving, stopping or just straight up dispersing. Before I do anything about the gun barrel and power output, I need to do something about the energy going unstable and going wild. The mana gun that I had created had something I called [MGG] (Magic Gun Gear). Simple put, this thing is behind firing the energy. It uses the energy and then fires it. But s, so far most of my attempts resulted in unstable shots. I even had idents where the guns straight up blowed up. Finding the problem was. EXTREMLY ANNOYING. But, after so many FUKING trial and errors, I managed to stabilize it. And I don''t want to talk exactly how many times I screwed up big time, okay?n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om However, it''s not over yet since I have to do something regarding the magic shot as the whole, but fortunately I have obtained gist of what to do. While trying to deal with the unstable, I discovered something interesting? By giving MGG specific form and modification, the nature of the magic shot changes. After fixing the instability I was able to adjust the form the magic shot Well, it did requite some changes to whole MGG in whole, since there would be new instability. But I managed to fix them up. The next part was about the power and the energy the weapon would posses since it would be directly linked to MGG. Honestly, at first, I tried adding just mana gems and mana stones, but that really didn''t do the trick. So, I changed up the things and created a magazine. Well to be put more precisely I used the mana stones and mana gems alongside the alchemy to create a magazine that I call [MGM] (Magic gun magazine). This bad boy did the trick, but it wasn''t all. I used necrotic crystals I had obtained from the monsters before and what would you know? IT WORKED! I changed the attribute of the magic shots from normal to necrotic element. This is huge discovery! With this I can make the gun have more specific damage type and stuff. And thest but not least, the gun barrel. The gun barrel part may have seemed simple, but as it turned out I can influence the magic bullet in someways with the barrel and the gun muzzle. Simply put, if I add that spiral form inside the gun barrel, the magic shot will gain some piercing effect, but if I add a straight gun barrel and make a little dents on four sides from insides, giving it an X shape, I can increase the gun range. And this is not all. There was a lot of things I could do with the gun barrel and that resulted me discovering that the gun barrel of the mana gun is the third most important part of the mana gun... Well, the gun barrel of the regr gun is also extremely important and everything, but with the mana gun barrel you can do some weird and interesting shit that could affect the magic shot performance in different ways. I also got to test if different of materials would affect the magic shot performance and stuff, for example: Is there an ideal material that should be used for making gun barrel? Honestly, this was an interesting discovery and it will take some time to research it more. I only messed around a bit with gun barrels but I had already saw few different and interesting results and I can definitely say that the gun barrels of the mana guns will be special. Not only that, but besides the MGG, MGM and the barrel, there are other parts that made the rest of the gun. They are less important then those 3, but still, they are extremely important Well, pretty much all guns needs to have a different parts besides the trigger, firing mechanism, ammunition and barrel, so that was quite obvious. However, lets stop talking about and focus on the reality right in front of me. MGG, MGM and the barrel. I have finally understanded and know how to fuking produce them! And finally, with all the three main parts of the gun now finished means that it''s time to finally try and create the first ever mana gun! I instantly got to the work and created everything from the scratch and before long, the mana gun waspleted. Enjoy exclusive content from empire [Handy Mana Gun] [Rarity: Common] [Attack: 100-150] [Ammunition: 1 shot C Cost per attack: 100 MP C Recharge after each shot.] "Hm." "Nice." C said Phantasia while looking at his gun." "Its not really strong or anything like that and it needs time to recharge before it can fire another shot. Pretty much this gun sucks and can only be useful for beginners." "But I MADE IT BITCHES!" [You are the first ever yer to create special type of weapon called [MANA GUN].] [You have obtained title: Mana Gun Crafter] C [Epic] [Increase attack power of the gun type weapons you using directly by 3%.] "!" "Oh? A title? This is a nice bonus!" "Wait. THE FUCK IS THIS EFFECT?! 3% increase in weapon attack?!" (This is quite busted if I say so myself.) (There are titles that can directly affect the weapons attack power? I though only sses could do something like that. Jezus.) (Its only attack increase and only 10%.... But this is still a lot.) (I wasn''t expecting to obtain something like THAT! This is quiet crazy... Well, it''s only 10% right now so the increase won''t be that big, but the higher my level would be and the stronger items I would use, that 10% increase would be way more visible as more time would went by.) (Wait. GUN?! Not mana gun?! Does that mean this title works with regr guns as well?! Jezus!) (Okay. Fuck it. I''m changing from crossbow to guns.) "But unfortunately, I''m not finished yet." C said Phantasia while smiling. (This gun is only the first ever properly functioning mana gun I had made and that was the goal. To not create the most powerful mana gun from get go, but instead create an mana gun that can be first used.) (And now that I have this guy, I will use him as an true base of my research and start developing my skills in terms of handling those guys while also understanding more and more about them.) (It will take time again, since if I want to do any big modification or straight up change the base concept or purpose, it will take time, but now I posses the basic necessary knowledge to research and develop those things! Meaning that this is the real start of my research regarding "Mana Guns".) "I spend fuking days, even weeks in this world. But it was all worth it!" (Honestly, I don''t think it wouldn''t have been possible without the Unliving Heart research, I guess I got extremely luck by obtaining them since its all thanks to them that I knew about that energy discharges idents.) (I guess the luck was on my side without me knowing it.) "Either way, I like this this development." "And soon the dwarf will also like what I made." "I will make sure that his jaw will drop." (And I will also use this research for my own goal in the near future!) Chapter 80 – Dwarf final test. After sessfully making my first ever mana gun, I instantly got into the action and spend almost all of my time researching and improving the mana gun. I made quiet few new discoveries and improvement. And after long enough time passed, I had returned back to the Evilin workshop in order to meet up with the dwarf in order to finally let him judge me for the final test. "Huh You were good for quiet long time. And I mean like very long time. Honestly, I started to think that something happened to you or something." C said Evilin. "Sorry that it took so long, but I was researching something for a long time." C said Phantasia while taking off his mask after making sure that he and the dwarf were alone in the room. "Oh?" C dwarf looked bit excited. "Then, with you being here means that you are finally ready to show me what you got?" "Of course." C said Phantasia while giving a cheeky smile. "Well then." C said the dwarf while getting up from his chair. "Fallow me." Dwarf took Phantasia to his own private testing room where the dwarf test out his creations in secrets. The room looked worn out and damaged in many ces, but it had all sorts of equipment as well as training dummies that can be used to see an equipment efficiency. "Nobody will bother us here. This my own private room where I test out some of my things." "By the way, don''t worry about the state of this room. I usually repair it whole once in the while." "So. Show me what you got." "As you wish boss." C said Phantasia before starting to take out his creations and putting them on the table. Phantasia created several pieces of the equipment. A heavy armor ck armor covered that had fur sticking out from it, The second set of armor was a light armored armor with two noticeable sticking out gullets that had bulkier parts around the wrist. The third armor was a ropes with few reinforced parts as well as witches hat. "Firstly, armors sets." C said Phantasia. [Mountain Brute Armor] C [Rare] "The first armor set has as simple purpose and everything."N?v(el)B\\jnn "Its main goal is the defense, but not entirely." "I used some of the beast pelts as reced for some of the parts to reduce the number of metal in order not to decrees mobility too much." "However you have made sure that the defense of this thing is still pretty high." C said the dwarf while inspecting the pieces of the armor. ". Good." C said the dwarf while putting down the helmet of the armor. "Its simple armor, but very effective one. You didn''t went too oveplicated with this armor and instead focused on the main thing while also making sure it wasn''t too heavy." "What about the next armor set? This one''s gloves looks interesting." [Mountain Rouge Armor] C [Rare] "This one is a light armor." "Its not really that tough like the previous one, but it still has some defense while also not weight much." "However, this thing has a secret weapon." Phantasia took the gloves from the table before putting them. After putting them and moving his hand to make sure that his hand could freely, Phantasia then extended his hand towards target dummy before momentster changing the form of the gauntlet and revealing a crossbow gun that instantly fired a bolt at the dummy and hit perfectly dummy. "Oh? A hidden crossbow?" C said the dwarf. "Yeb." "It does have some problems, for example with reload." C said Phantasia. "However, I made sure it was somewhat well conclude and had also made sure that the crossbow itself has enough power to do some damage." "It did came at the cost of the reloading speed being even much slower, but this is a surprise weapon and everything." "True." C said the dwarf while inspecting the damage on the dummy. "Its good idea to have it like this instead of having it focus on the reload speed." "I got to say. This armor is also pretty interesting." "Good. Good. Next." [Wandering Mage Armor] C [Rare] "I though about making this armor overplicated, but it would instead got in the mage way." C said Phantasia. "True. That kind of crossbow gauntlets wouldn''t really fit with the mage, since you would know they would try something if they start pointing at you." C said the dwarf. "However, I see that bits of ropes are reinforced bit and there Specifically the vital areas." "And the hat. It has some reinforcements inside. Not much, but it will protect the head somewhat" "The ropes are bit heavier than normal ropes. But not too heavy or extremely heavy. The spellcasters shouldn''t have any problem using it." "So, instead of choosing anyplicated stuff, you focused again on the basics, but also made sure that the ropes will have enough defense as well, yes?" C asked the dwarf. "Yes." C replied Phantasia. "Hm Good." "All three of those armors are not bad at all. They don''t really have any big downsides, but each does their job well as well as bit more in different areas." "Weight reduction." "Hidden and effective weapon." "And reinforced of the vital areas." "Not bad. Not bad at all." C said the dwarf. "Well, those are armor sets." "Now, what is the next thing you want to show me?" "Well, those things." Phantasia began taking out several different extra slot items (rings, nes, bracelets and earrings) as well as few different items. "I want to you see those things first before I go to the main course: The weapons." ". Understandable." C said the dwarf before approaching the table and inspecting the items. "." "Oh?" "This is quite nice as well." C said the dwarf while inspecting the jewelry up close. "You have refined this stuff pretty good." "This thing is pretty good as well." C said the dwarf while holding a germless bracelet. "Thanks. Honestly, I did had quiet problem with this shit and when I was doing my research I kind of realized I do need some knowable from making extra items. So, yea I did had some hard time learning this for some reason, but hey. I can make somewhat good ones, yes?" C said Phantasia. "True." C said the dwarf while he continues inspecting the items. "I see you had also made few interesting throwing weapons Throwing knifes. Tomahawks." Dwarf picked the tomahawk and threw it at the dummy, hitting the dummy right in the head and making the tomahawk stuck. "Nice." "Honestly speaking right now. I was thinking of adding a chain to the tomahawk as well as a device that would allow the user to quickly retract the chain, but there were some problems with that." C said Phantasia suddenly. "I didn''t had a strong enough mana crystal or gem. I could do it even without it, but then the overall build of the pulling device would get increased alongside the weight." "There was also the case regarding the chain durability and also the axe weight and everything." "So honestly speaking, I decided to scrab that idea for now, since I would need more specific materials to create that special chained tomahawk thing." "Well, that said. You can still attach the chain to this tomahawks." C said Phantasia while attaching the chain to the tomahawk handle. "Hm. Yea The chain seem pretty durable, but also heavy." C said the dwarf while inspecting the chain. Dwarf threw the chained mohawk from above at the second training dummy, hitting the dummy in the head before momentster dwarf began pulling back the chain and making the dummy heade off alongside the axe. "Hm. I get the gist. But why don''t use some rope instead?" "I mean, ropes are much lighter than tomahawks." "." "Well, that is the problem." C said Phantasia. "I needed tough enough rope to not get cut by the enemy and everything or it would lead you to being disarmed." "True. But still, the rope would allow you to retract the tomahawk much faster since its much lighter." "You could probably make some stronger rope using either of those two materials." C said the dwarf while holding the list of the materials that Phantasia was allowed to use. "?" C Phantasia walked towards the cksmith and looked at his list. "Wait. They would have worked?" C said Phantasia while looking at the materials pointed by the dwarf. "Pretty much. I had used them few times before and I knew they would have made way better rope than average one." C said the dwarf. "If you had made a rope out of this thing, it would have been much better than regr rope in terms of defense and endurance." "It would have much better reced for that chain of yours for many good reasons." "Hm. Welp, shit. I didn''t knew about it. But thanks for info. I will probably use it to rece those chains with those ropes." C said Phantasia. "Don''t worry. You made a valid point why you wanted to have chain instead of ropes and you didn''t knew that you had much better option than that." C said the dwarf. "Still, you should have did some research at least to see if there was really no other option than chains. So, you are at fault here. Make sure not to repeat that mistake in the future when you are researching and nning what to make. Understand?" ". I understand. I will make sure that it won''t happened again." C said Phantasia while bowing his head. (Tch. Maybe I shouldn''t have bringed those tomahawks in the end. It may end up damaging my score.) C though Phantasia. "As for the knifes." C said the dwarf while approaching the table. Dwarf picked one of the throwing knifes and threw it at the dummy." "They fly well somewhat." "They have quite simple design. But you had made sure that the edges are sharp enough for them cut the target." "You could." "Honestly, everything is great, expect for those chains." "Honestly speaking, those tomahawks would be way better without any in the first ce. Well, you did include option of attaching them and detaching them from the chain, so at least they can be used without the chains holding them back." "But, over all the score is pretty high." "." "Well then." "I guess I''m done with those things, unless you have anything more to show me." C said the dwarf while turning around towards Phantasia. "Nope. This is everything besides the weapons." C said Phantasia. "Good." "Then show me." "Show me the weapons you made right now." "As you wish boss." C said Phantasia. (This will be the real start.) C though stressed Phantasia. (Depending on the results from the weapons he sees, it could either improve score overall or end up disappointing the dwarf big time.) (And I don''t think so I will get a second chance after this.) (I fuking swear to the fuking god.) (Please don''t fail me now my creations!) Chapter 81 - Dwarf final test – Part 2. After the dwarf had judged all of the trinkets and armor sets made by Phantasia, it had now became time for the dwarf to judge the final items made by Phantasia: Weapons. Phantasia first took out a massive crossbow like weapon with four limb sticking out from the weapon. [Devastation Crossbow] "Oh?" "This looks quite interesting." C said dwarf. "Its some sort of mix between crossbow and ballista?" "Yes." "It''s ballista crossbow weapon." C said Phantasia while holding the giant crossbow.N?v(el)B\\jnn "It''s a crossbow type weapon that only specializes in the destructive power and range." "Huh. Then wait a moment." Dwarf quickly took out new training dummy and set it across the entire before then moving away from the dummy. "Okay. I want you to hit it all the way from over there! You got it?!" C shouted the dwarf across the room. "Understand!" - replied Phantasia by shouting. Phantasia took position before then starting to aim with his crossbow bast with a use of the sight he had installed onto the weapon. "." Phantasia pulled the trigger and the massive crossbow fired the giant crossbow bolt at astonishing speed before quickly hitting and piercing the dummy chest, sending the dummy flying alongside the crossbow bolt until both of them hit the wall. ". Nice." C said the dwarf. Dwarf approached the dummy in order to assess the damage it had sustained. "." "Huh This is really deadly weapon, huh?" C said the dwarf while trying to pull out the bolt from the from the training dummy chest. "It really pierced right through with ease..." "But it has some problems, doesn''t it?" C asked the dwarf while walking towards Phantasia. "Yea. A few to be exactly." "This crossbow specialty is a long range and destructive power, but the crossbow itself weights a bit." "Not only that, you also need to know how to handle this thing or the recoil will make things annoying." "As for the reload. It isn''t fast and you also need some strength to prepare the crossbow to shot." "However, the tradeoff is worth it." "Oh? How so?" C asked the dwarf. "Like said before, this crossbow specialty is devastating power and RANGE." C said Phantasia. "In order worlds, you can keep a lot of distance between yourself and your opponent thanks to this thing." ". True. This thing is extremely nasty in terms of traveling midair." C said the dwarf. "Hm..." "." C dwarf did not said a world for few moments, wondering about something. "Okay. Screw it. It''s well made." "It does have some problems. But its intentional so you can maximize the range and the power. Not all archers would be able to use it, but some that would be, would have a deadly advantage." ". Okay. I got to admit it. You are crafty bastard." "But the test is not over yet." "Show me the next weapon you had made." "As you wish." The second weapon that the Phantasia made was long sword with simple design. The third weapon was a mage staff that can handles necrotic element pretty well. "Hm." C dwarf inspected all new weapons bringed out by Phantasia. "..." "Well. They don''t really have any bad sides. And they are focused on doing their job." C said the dwarf to himself while inspecting the staff and the sword. "Hey. Kiddo." C said dwarf while turning around towards Phantasia. "" (Is everything alright?) C though Phantasia. After few moments of inspecting the weapons, the dwarf had returned each and every weapon on the table. "Simple, but good weapons. Good job." (Oh, thank god.) C though Phantasia while sighing in relief. "However, I have question right now." C said the dwarf while turning towards Phantasia. "There is one thing that I have been wondering for some time now and I need to ask it." "You said something about that whole "Mana gun" idea of yours, but I don''t see any mana guns or anything like that. Were you able to make that thing in the end or not?" "Oh. Well. I did seeded in my research and experiments and had sessfully made mana gun." C said Phantasia. "In fact. I had made few different ones." "?!" "Wait. Really?" C asked the shocked yet interested dwarf. "Yeb. Let me show you." Phantasia took out two different guns from his inventory and put them on the table. ". Huh. So those are mana guns?" C said the dwarf while looking at the guns on the table. (They do have somewhat gun like appearance, but also not exactly.) C though the dwarf. "Hm?" Dwarf picked a hand like gun and looked at its barrel. "This barrel look bit weird. Is it supposed to be like this?" C asked the dwarf, noticing the end of the gun had a circle shaped end alongside four bumps sticking out from four different directions. "This is because of the magic gun special characterizes." "Magic gun has three special parts." "This part. I call it MGG. This one I call MGM. And this part is the gun barrel, you can just call it barrel or MGB." C said Phantasia while pointing at the different parts of the gun. "Honestly, when I originally started researching the mana gun, I didn''t realized how important the barrel of the gun would turn out to be." "I mean, not like barrel of the usual gun and stuff, but instead something different." "Simple put, the all three main parts of the gun gives the gun its characteristic as well as different forms of power." "I see. So, question. How does that pistole works?" C said the dwarf while holding the pistole in his hand and inspecting it. "Its uses the user mana to fire and shots of energy." C said Phantasia. "It doesn''t really manifest ammunition just like mana bow or mana crossbow, but it''s also as affective." "The gun has short cooldown between each shots, but it does have some power and range." "Its simple to use." C Phantasia exined how to use the gun to the dwarf. "Huh Easy in use." Dwarf carefully aimed with the gun at the dummy before then pulling the trigger and releasing a wave of energy from the barrel of the gun that flew straight towards the dummy before colliding with it and dispersing upon impact as well as visible damaging the training dummy. "!" "Huh. It really works?!" C said the interested dwarf. "But. The power doesn''t look really that high?" "Well, this was designed as a simple weapon." "I could have made somewhat stronger pistole type magic gun, but it would consume bit more mana and it would have bit longer cooldown. There are also other reason why this is so weak, but I will exin about just in moment." "However, this gun does its job. It''s simple in use. This mana gun is about being a support weapon or emergency weapon." "As for the other reason, its simple honestly, its research." "I''m still researching the mana guns as well, so it''s not like I can make an extremely overpower weapon from get go. However my research is improving each day and everything, but this is still pretty good weapon even though I could have made it better." "True. It did not ate too much mana. And its easy to use What about the other gun?" C asked while inspecting the pistoled. "Here." C said Phantasia while carrying a gun with long barrel. "This one is also a prototype, but for now it''s a short range power shot." Phantasia approached the training dummy before then aiming with his shotgun and firing it at it, shooting out a fan shaped st out of the gun barrel that hit the dummy. "This gun is also prototype and not finished product, but as you can see it does have some power and it had fan shaped attack. It firedpletely different attack than the pistole did." "But again, there are problem with this gun." "However, you can see what kind of poetical this gun has once I continues my research of my mana guns and improve it." "." (He isn''t wrong.) C though the dwarf while grabbing his beard. (This gun has too short range. But if somehow deals with the range problems, then this gun would be more deadly.) "Question. Do you have any more of those guns? Like different types and stuff?" C asked the dwarf with curios look on his face. "Yes, I do." C replied Phantasia. "However, each gun has some problems of their own and honestly I only bringed two best performing guns so far." "I could have waited another month, but I didn''t wanted you to wait for me too long. I didn''t wanted to disrespectful or anything like that, since I did already wentpletely silent for long time already." "However, the reason why I brough those two guns to you are the as the proofs." "Proofs that the mana guns do exist and that they can be made as well as the fact that they possess their own usefulness. I wanted to show it all to you." "They are quite hard to make and everything as well as the research regarding them takes a lot of time and effort, but it is possible. I''m not talking from my guts, but from the research I had conducted." "I CAN make it much stronger and better." "." Dwarf looked at the mana gun in his hand with serios expression. Phantasia saw that and instantly got nervous as he waited for the dwarf to speak up. Before long, the dwarf turned towards Phantasia and looked directly at his face before then suddenly starting tough. "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" "??????" C Phantasia stared confused. "You motherfucker. You actual, did it?!" C said the dwarf while stillughing. "Em...What?" C said still confused Phantasia. "Ah... Sorry Sorry." C said the dwarf after finally stoppingughing. "Honestly speaking, you bastard impressed me and I mean by a lot." "I was really not expecting you to make it, since you randomly though about it, but here you are." "You had made 2 different and functioning mana guns. You bastard! You did it." "Not only that, you are saying you can improve those things?" "I got to say, nice work you bastard." "Congrattion. You had passed with 100 score!" "!" [You havepleted the quest: Evilin Final Test (Modified)] [You havepleted the quest with the highest possible score.] [You had received multiple rewards.] [Your favorability with the Evilin Anvil had significantly increased!] "!" "YES!" C shouted Phantasia after reading the system window notice. (I FUKNG DID IT!) "Well then. I now wee you not as a friend, but instead as my official discipline Phantasia." C said the dwarf while extending his hand towards Phantasia. "Don''t disappoint me." C said the dwarf while giving cheeky smile. "Don''t worry. I won''t "Master"." C said Phantasia while grabbing the dwarf hand and shaking it. "." (FINALY!) C though Phantasia. (Thanks "Master" for epting me as your apprentice!) (And now thanks to you, the first step needed for my n had been finally taken!) (The clock is now moving and when it reaches zero, this ce will no longer exists!) (And it will be all thanks to you. My dear "Master"!) Chapter 82 – Resting up a bit. "Okay boy. I know that I just epted you and everything as my real apprentice, but for now you should rest up a bit." C said Evilin. "Comeback after you rest up a bit and everything, since I did noticed you stressing out a lot." "Thanks. But I will try to recover as soon as possible." C replied Phantasia. "Yea, yea. But I''m serios. Rest is also important. Recover first and then wee here." " Understand." Phantasia alongside the dwarf had left dwarf private testing ground before then splitting up and going their own separated ways. After sometime, Phantasia had managed to arrive back at his house. "." ''Phew'' "Today was stressful like hell." C said Phantasia after sitting down on his chair. (Honestly, I was kind of expecting him to be disappointed with the mana guns, since they are not really finished products.) (But by the look of things he understand the whole thing and instead got incredible impressed.) (Not only that, I got a perfect score from that?!) (What kind of rewards I got from the quest then?!) Phantasia opened his menu in order to see what reward he had obtained from the quest. "." "Materials. Nice." "?!" "Oh! He had also gave me a lot of cksmith ss rted ss points! Perfect!" "There is also the favorability increase! And massive one at that!" (It will make things goes much smoother with the dwarf if not help me with him teaching me bit better. If that is the case, then my n will move forward way faster than I had originally nned.) "Hm?" "." "Wait what?" [You had proven yourself cksmith Evilin.] [You had obtained the highest score possible in Evilin quest to the point that Evilin himself was surprised.] [The Evilin has a high hopes for you and your future achievements.] [You had obtained title: Evilin True Apprentice] C [Rarity: Epic]n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om [Effect] Stay updated via empire [Increase the EXP gain for your crafting rted skills.] [Increase EXP gained from crafting by 30%] ". Holy shit." "HOLY SHIT!" (Epic?!) (Like for real?!) (Jezus!) (I wasn''t expecting title at all, and if I would have expected one it would be at very best rare, not epic!) (Not only that, what kind of effect are those?!) (Those are not stat boost, but instead t up boost in growth.) (EXP gain increase from making items as well as boost in exp fain for crafting rted skills?! This title is perfect for me!) (I was just epted and I got that kind of reward?) (. Wait.) (If I can get that kind of stuff from get go. Then what can I get from himter on?!) (Jezus! This guy may have been way better jackpot than I had originally though!) (.NO WAIT!) (YOU CAN GET TITLES FROM THE QUEST AS WELL?! WTF?!) (Jezus! I''m find out more and more stuff nonstop recently.) "." "Okay. Things were bit more surprising than I thought But still, one of my main goals have been fulfilled." (With the dwarf now having me epting as his official discipline, I will be able to learn directly from him as well as his teachings and skills.) (I will use his knowledge to fill out the missing gabs in my research.) (Right now my ns had finally started moving and its now matter of time before all preparation are finished.) (Honestly, I also have to do way more research with mana guns.) (Especially the reload speed and fire rate, the gabs between each shots is too long.) (Not only that, both the pistole and the shotgun powers are too weak to be used in currentbat.) (However, if I were to somewhat perfected this research as well as attach those mana guns to myself, the guns performance would get much higher.) "." "Unliving Heart is still not ready, huh?" C said ClownFrog to himself while checking out the Unliving Heart mutation process. (I honestly was expecting for the heart to mutate in just few hours or days, just like we hypothesized and stuff. But the mutation is much slower than expected.) (Is it because I''m undead?) (Either way, I don''t feel any changes at all.) (I don''t feel stronger or have any special powers and stuff.) (Does the changes only happened when the mutation reaches 100%?) (Will all the changes happen all at once or something?) (Or maybe the mutation are so slow because they are meant to protect the user? The heart was also designed to be used by a living being, so maybe the reason why the mutation are not instant is so the user would suffer any real harm?) (Still, I''m quiet curios what sort of thing will happened to me after this heart reaches 100%?) (The heart objective was for the user to be able to handle and posses a necrotic mana, necrotic elemental and stuff.) (Honestly, I''m quiet looking forward to it to see how much I would change.) (However, I still wonder about one more thing.) (The Unliving Heart rarity was [Unknown] and I had even obtained title rted to crafting [Unknown] rarity item.) (However, the [cksmith] title did not ranked up.) (Are unknown rarity items some sort of special rarities? Like maybe above legendary?) (.) (Or maybe the rarity of those items depends on the user? For example, one yer can make a use of the item so much that I can be a legendary rarity weapon in their hands, while in some nobody hands it would be some trashmon rarity item?) (.) "Well, I guess the only way to find out something is wait until its finishes its job and stuff." (But for now I should log off. I''m tired.) [You have logged off.] "." C the man took off his gear and stood up from the capsule. "Hm. Fuck it. I want to eat some pizza. I really didn''t had any pizza for quiet long time already and I think I earned one." The man quickly left the capsule before then dressing up and then leaving his apartment. Sometimeter, the waster found out in the nearby pizzeria where he was already a pizza he had ordered. "." C the man hold his phone in his hand while using his other hand to eat slice of pizza. "Hm." (The ie from the game I had has been going bit down recently. Probably because I have been more focused on my research and stuff) (I still have a lot of money, so it''s no panic right now, but it''s better if I do something about it for the safer side in case I will really need to spend my real money or something.) (I got way better at crafting and thanks to the dwarf I will became way better crafter.) (I can sell the improved and better equipment in the city since there are way more yers now present in the city.) (If not the city, then the auction house will sell my things.) (But what should I do with mana guns and their research?) (Should I start selling mana guns?) (.) (Nah.) (I cannot do that yet.) (I need to research mana guns bit more and stuff as well as the fact that selling them to the public may end up hindering my own ns.) (I can sell them, but not now.) (So that leaves other items instead. It will slow down the research a bit, but it''s better if I do this way.) (.) (Now that I think about, are there any news about me?) (I mean as me as "Doctor"?) "." "." (There are few articles. But not many really) (However people seem to be asking question "where is the doctor?" and "who is the doctor?") (. But besides me there are few other interesting posts.) (Some interesting guilds seems to be popping up here and there.?) (Oh? This is interesting.) (Some big guilds are now trying to get their own production ss users.) (Hm... Well, I don''t want to get bothered by them, so its a good thing I''m wearing a mask and everything.) "." "There are few people that stand out. But I shouldn''t care about that for now." (Honestly speaking, the situation about the game right now is still progressing and it''s also chaotic.) (Apparently the game centers where you can y the game if you don''t own your own capsule are right now kind of always full. There are some people saying that they are nning on expanding them as well.) C though the man while reading thements attached to the post. (The number of the yers ying this game is keep increasing with each day... I wonder what would had happened if I had stared ying from this point? How hard it would be to straight up leave the starting area?) "." "?" (Game Game. Game. Jezus.) (There are only news about this game? Really?) (Wow. This game really became extremely big hit through the world, huh?) (What next? Some sort of tournament?) "." (Huh Now that I think about it, the tournament isn''t that bad idea?) (I mean, they could use it to promote the game even more and stuff as well as give opportunity for the yers to show off.) (Oh!) (If there would be a tournament than I could go berserk as doctor and release gues around!) (Yea! I couldpletely ruin the event this way!) (.) (But s, nobody announced anything like that.) (And honestly speaking, what if they would require yers to show their nicknames? FUCK THAT!) (They would know that the "Doctor" and Phantasia are both same people and that would turn my situation into living hell!) (But if you could go there without revealing your nickname. Nah. They wouldn''t do it. They would need something to address the winner by.) () (Well, there is also the fact that I''m terrorist and everything, so people may end up targeting me. Yea. On the second though, tournament happening about now would bepletely bad for me since I would have no choice but not to enter.) (As for now, lets focus on recovering and then visiting the dwarf so he can start finally teaching me as well as for my n to finally move.) Chapter 83 – Unliving Heart awakening. After resting up a bit and checking out stuff online about the game, I logged back into the game and meet up with the dwarf in order to finally start working and training for the dwarf as an official apprentice. The dwarf teaching were quite harsh and everything, but I just focused on learning. For my ns, I need to learn as much as possible from the dwarf. While I was learning from the dwarf, I had also focused on producing stuff as well as continue my own researches. Honestly, I pretty much spend days either in the dwarf workshop or in my own house just crafting and researching. I did went hunting few times, but not many times really. I also spend a lot of time producing items that I wouldter on sell to the people for some cash. Then I would go to the dwarf and work for him while also learning stuff from him, then I would go home and do my own research, then I go hunting, then I make and sell some times. Again, and again. Pretty much each day was like this. However, it''s not like I was not making progress. With each day my crafting skills were improving and not only that but my research was progressing more and more. Not only that, thanks to the dwarf teaching I was able to fix out many holes in research that focuses on developing special items using the Unliving Heart data, necromancer teachings and the dwarf teachings. I''m not trying to create another Unliving Heart, no. What I''m trying to do is research and crafting. Simple put I''m trying to create items somewhat simr to the Unliving Heart crafting method that the necromancer and the dwarf had developed. I was with them when I was crafting that, but I didn''t fully understood what was going on nor some parts of the data. So, that''s why I need the dwarf teaching. I will use his knowledge to fill out the gabs and try to understand the crafting method. Now here is the question. Why? Why I need this specific crafting method? The answer: I''m cyborg. If I understand this crafting method and create special body parts for myself. The Unliving Heart isn''t only mechanical organ, but its also magical. Abination of magic and machine. Abination I was looking for. I knowbination between magic and machine, but not on this level and this kind ofbination. If my theory is correct and everything else, then I will have a knowledge how to upgrade my body to way higher level in terms of power. As for the magic guns? They are still being researched. I''m making progress with them, however for any big progress I need to use higher ranking mana gems as well as mana crystals, and obviously they are not cheap. Still, thanks to the dwarf teaching I''m now able to create way better items and thanks to that, I''m earning way more money than before. People are also talking about me, the "Wood Mask". Honestly, it''s no surprise since I''m selling high quality stuff as an "yer" and not as NPC. I can already see again people harassing me to join them or something. Well, thanks to the dwarf connections I won''t have to worry about some annoying people going after me. Still, I should be bit carefully when wearing my wood mask, since they are looking for "Wood Mask" and not just some zombie yer. However, the situation is also very favorable to me. It''s like before. The more famous the "Wood Mask" gets, the more smother and better the business will go. So, it''s not really that bad about people wanting to meet me and everything. Not only that, since a lot of yers areing to this city now, the number of the possible clients are increasing. So yay, ie.N?v(el)B\\jnn . Hm. Did I mentioned everything? Dwarf. Every day repeat. I think I mentioned everything. [Unliving Heart] C [Mutation had reached 100%] "." "Oh." C Phantasia stared at the message inside his house. "Right. I kind of forgotten about it since the progress was so slow each- " "?!" Phantasia suddenly grabbed in his as his sudden surprised looked changed to look of pain and confusion. "Oh! This isn''t nice!" (Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew!) (It kind of feels like there are worms crawling inside my veins! WTF is this?!) "?!" Phantasia looked at his hands and noticed the weird glow growing through his veins before his own eyes began glowing with green glow while his vision began getting weirdly greenly blurry for a one second before then returning to normal. [The [Unliving Heart] had been fully bonded with you and had be part of you.] [The mutation process had been finished.] ". Okay. That catched mepletely of surprise and was quite weird. WHY?! Why the hell it felt that way?!" C said Phantasia after returningpletely to normal. (Honestly, I don''t think having a glowing veins in the middle of the daylight would be a good thing. I mean, I would stand out WAY TOO MUCH!) (Good thing I was inside my house of all things.) "." "Anyway I don''t fell any. Different? Did it really worked?" [The [Unliving Heart] has now became a part of your current existence.] [You have obtained new characteristic trait: [Elemental Being C Partial C Necrotic].] [By the influence of the [Unliving Heart], you had obtained a special growth effect. For each level you possess, increase your [Necromancy Mastery] stat by 5 points.] "?!" "Oh! I got multiple stuff... Wait. What with that effect?!" (5 points increase of the [Necromancy Mastery] stat per level?! This is crazy!) (I''m over level 200 already, so I''m getting a 1000 from get go?!) (Jezus! And it can still grows?!) (No wonder that fuking necromancer wanted something like that!) Enjoy new tales from empire "Hm?" "Characteristic Trait? What the hell is this?" [Elemental Being C Partial C Necrotic] [An being that is particrly a being of the necrotic element itself, but is not an elemental being.] [Effect] [Noticeable Increase resistance against necrotic elemental negative effects.] [Increase base defense against necrotic element by 50%] [Increase performance of the necrotic elemental rted or the necromancy skills, abilities, attacks as well as other rted stuff by by 50%] [Decrees resistance against light elemental negative effects.] [Decrees base defense against light element by 25%] [Decrees performance of the light elemental rted skills, abilities, attacks as well as other rted by 25%] [Counts as a necrotic being (Partial).] "Oh. Shit." (This fuking necromancer!) (No fuking wondered he wanted to get that heart at any cost!) (The effects of this thing are massive and I mean it!) (The first effect alone boost my necromancer ss power by boosting [Necromancy Mastery].) (AND!) (The number of undeads, including chimeras just straight up skyrocket!) (.) (Wait, the heart should have two different mutation depending on the user being either alive or dead. What kind of effect would that have on that necromancer if he instead took it?) (MEH! WHO CARES!?) (What matter is that heart is now fully part of me and I''m reaping all the benefits from it!) (But seriously speaking right now, this is OP!) (Screw the downsides, it''s still OP!) (.) (My race didn''t seem to have changed?) (Huh.) (I though it would change or something, but nope?) (I mean, I though because of that characteristic trait thing.) (Still, this is an interesting thing anyway.) (My appearance did not seemed to have changed a lot or anything like that.) Phantasia picked the mirror and looked at it. (.) "Nothing wrong with my face. No glowing veins or other stuff." "My chest also lookspletely normal." (I guess I can continue working without any problems or anything like that, since I lookpletely normal and stuff.) (Butter on I should look bit more what exactly happened to me.) (For example, did the change that had happened to me had affected my cyborg modification in any way? Does it now get in the way? Or it does something unexpected?) "." ''SIGH'' "I''m really interested about it all, but it''s also giving way more job to do. For fuck sake." "I have already busy schedule and everything and now I have to research even more stuff?" (And it''s not like I "Can''t" do it, since I have to do it considering that there maybe some effects that may end up affecting me in the ways I have yet to notice.) "." "There are also other problems." "For example, now I have ton of new questions that I really want to have answers to." "I also need to test out few things out and see if everything is okay and stuff as well." "." (Things are finally starting interesting, but also unknown as well as annoying.. Why the hell can''t it be simple?!) (I need some information regarding the elemental beings as well as characteristic traits.) (Should I ask the dwarf? He would definitely know something...But...) (. Nah. It''s better if he doesn''t know about my current state.) (The other good person I could ask would be.... Necromancer that I killed...Yea. Fuck.) (So I guess I have to find out things on my own and let''s hope it won''t too long to find out the answers I''m looking for.) Chapter 84 – Phantasia “Leaving” Dawn city. "Hey. Did you heard about the Wood Mask?" C asked the dark elf yer. "Yea. I honestly though he was just some NPC, but when I saw him, I found out he was a yer." C said the other dark elf yer. "I mean, damn." "He is mass producing items, but each and every one of them are quite good." "Yea man, but what to hear something interesting? I looked a bit into the Wood Mask and apparently, he was only selling potions before. And not some low quality ones, but the ones with very high quality." C said the second dark elf yer. "Wait, really?" C asked the other yer. "Yea. So not only he is pretty good guy when ites to crafting armor and weapons, but also good when ites to crafting potions?" "Say. Do you think we should recruit him?" C asked the first dark elf yer. "Nah. Forget it. There is no way our small guild would be recruit somebody like that." "But I heard some rumors about some bigger guilds trying to recruit him. We can straight up give up since we have no chancespare to them." ". Yea You are right." "." (Huh. So, there are that kind of rumors going around about me?) C though Phantasia while walking around without his mask. A lot of time had passed after I ended up bing the dwarf apprentice as well as started to sell my products. The product I was selling most of the time were mass produced goods, however even those were quite popr since they were both good and not overall pricy. Honestly, people were asking me to join them or were asking if I could make costume made equipment for them as soon as I started getting famous again, but I decided to say no. Costume made equipment does cost a lot and I could end up earning a lot of money, but my schedule was already busy as it is. However, I was sometimes creating some better equipment here and there for two reason: Experiments and experience. I sold the good weapons among those experiments, since they were indeed pretty solid weapons that was quiet usefully. As for the n? It was working extremely well. The dwarf had taught me a lot and had corrected some mistakes I didn''t even knew I was making. Find more chapters on empire I really didn''t knew that learning on your own while learning under somebody could have THAT big of effect. I mean, sure. When somebody teaches you, they will exin things, give you information and all sort of things. But DAMN! That dwarf teaching did the work I didn''t knew was possible! I didn''t knew if that was because I now had a teacher or because of the fact that guy was so skilled in terms of crafting. But either way, I can say this thing for sure: It was fuking worth it. It was worth bing that guy apprentice! As for my own research and ns? They had progressed by a lot! Not only that, my understanding of the Unliving Heart research as well as refining bit of the necromancer knowledge alongside the dwarf teaching came extremely handy. As for mana guns. Yea they are still problematic. I researched different ways to upgrade the mana as well as researched different type of add on or modification to the gun. For example, I added a revolver like cylinder that allows you to fire mana shots way faster with each cylinder having its own cooldown between attacks. This is a quiet nice thing, since if I add a type of MGG that focuses on the quick fire, I''m able to fire at fast pace between the shots. Somewhat like machine gun if you look at it in some way as well. However sometimes there are few problems with that still need to be fixed. I also researched other stuff useful stuff. But obviously there are problems. A way more than I had originally though. One of the problem being that some guns requires a lot of different materials. This don''t really sound that bad, right? But what if I started making even stronger guns? What if one ce cannot provide me with enough specific materials? This is the problem. For example, the necrotic gun. I need necrotic element mana stones or mana crystals, but what if the ce I''m currently in doesn''t have either of those? I''m trying on making the guns using materials I can use from this ce, but what if I end upcking the key materials? Especially the mana crystals and mana gems. They are one of the key materials for the creation of the mana gun. I had also run into few other problems, but I won''t be exining all of them. And if somebody is wonder, no. I''m not selling my mana guns yet, nor anybody is researching them beside me, expect for the dwarf. Honestly, I asked the dwarf to keep the existence of the mana guns a secret a bit, since I want to make a big appearance with them in the future. I managed to convince the dwarf to keep the existence of the mana guns a secret, but in exchange I gave him some of my data as well as prototype mana guns, since he himself want to experiment a bit and see what they do. He got interested by them the same way I did and honestly, I cannot me him, the mana guns are extremely interesting! And not only that, but the research from mana guns had also helped me with some other researches that weren''t about the mana guns. I''m honestly interested what he coulde up with and stuff, but from what he told me he was quiet too busy to try anything himself, expect for checking out bits of my data. Well, I''m not reallyining, since he was paying me some money for that data. As for cyborg modification? There were also going pretty well. Especially the Unliving Heart researched notes helped me out improving my cyborg body by a lot. Many errors or problems I have been dealing with nonstop had disappeared and I had made some interesting discoveries and stuff. Not only that, but other "Stuff" was also getting ready. And with that I was now able to finally start moving "Things" as well as my n. [Current Location: Evilin workshop.] "I got to say mate. You surprised me." C said Evilin. "I wasn''t expecting for all of your original skills to be self-taught, but I guess I was wrong." "But not only that, but after I polished you enough, you straight up became a monster in terms of crafting! Hahahaha!" C the dwarfughed. ". Is this apliment?" C asked Phantasia. "Yea! And the interesting part is that you can keep growing!" C replied the dwarf. "Anyway, what did you wanted to talk about? Is it about lesson regarding the mage items?" "No. Well. There is the thing." - said Phantasia. "." "Fuck it. I will be straight." "I will need to leave the city." "?" "Wait, what?" C said surprised dwarf. "Like. You are going out somewhere for some time?" "No. Fuck it!" C said Phantasia with annoyed voice.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Okay. It''s quiteplicated and quiet private matter that I shouldn''t talk about at all, even with you. But let me give you somewhat short version or exnation thing." A friend of mine, a close friend of mine ended up fucking up big time." "And now I have no choice but to go to him and help him out." "And the annoying part is, I maybe gone for quiet long time, if not fuking few months, I don''t know how long I will be gone. I have no even choice but to even move out my things and head to him." "?" "Wait, isn''t this. You know Kind of big? What the hell is happening to make you straight up move out suddenly? Is it really that important?" C asked the confused dwarf. "." "Well. Sorry. I cannot tell you. It''s very private matter. I wish I could, but I straight up cannot." C said Phantasia. "All I can say is that I will be going and helping out my STUPID FUKING friend who got himself in big mess. And now he suddenly remembers me as well as the whole debt situation and asked me to rescue his ass." "If I didn''t own him, a big time at that, I would straight up say "Fuck you" to him. But the problem is I really own him that kind of big debt." "Tch." "That bastard really got himself into really annoying trouble. Well, I''m an idiot for being friend with that stupid guy and even owning him that kind of big debt in the first ce." "Anyway, helping him out will also give me some nice benefits as well, so it''s not like I wille out empty handed form this. I will get something out of this while also cleaning up that whole debt we had between us." "So with that being said, I don''t really know how long it will take. It may take not that long, or it may even take few months." "." "Well. Wow. This is quite sudden and all. So, like what? Are we saying goodbyes for now or something?" C asked confused dwarf. "Well. I don''t know But I guess we should? I maybe be gone for quiet long time and I even have to pack all of things." "." ''Sigh'' "Well, this is all so sudden and everything, but I honestly hope that everything will goes well for you." C said the dwarf. "Yea. Let''s hope so." C said Phantasia. After saying my goodbyes to the Evilin as well as other people I knew such as the other disciplines, Mario the merchant and some other people I knew, I then packed up my things and left the city. After spending so long much time and having so many different situation, I was finally done with that city... On the surface that was. While nobody was watching or even noticed me, I moved all of my stuff into the old necromancer base. Yeb. I DID NOT LEFT THIS PLACE! In fact, after this ce was inspected by the city guards and then left abandoned, I ended up slowly moving and taking over this ce. And now, this ce had been fully taken over by me and turned into my own base! (This is straight up perfect!) C though Phantasia while putting down an boxes of materials down. (Nobody really knows about this ce, expect for the dwarf as well as the head of the guards and some of his trusted men, since we needed to keep the matter regarding the necromancer base a secret and everything.) (AND I WAS THE ONE WHO SUGGESTED THAT!) (The reason why they agreed to my proposal was simple. They didn''t wanted any trouble.) (I gave several reason why we should keep the existence of the necromancer base hidden.) (For example: There could be somebody who would want to get their hands on the necromancer research, in order worlds, we would provoke some greedy people toe here that would bring nothing but trouble.) (Or I also gave the other reason being that the people that may have been connected to the necromancer may end up asking some things about his base. There was a chance that they were working together, but did not knew his base location.) (Simple put, I manipted them into believing the fact that the revealing necromancer hideout location and stuff to the public was a bad idea until we confirm if the necromancer was really working alone or not.) (And thanks to that, I have now my very own base that the guards don''t even check on, in order not to give any leads to the possible mad up "Friends" of the necromancers.) (Gosh. I really have knack for manipting people, eh?) (Either way, it all worked out.) (And now I have my own base where I can conduct any shady stuff without worrying about anybody spotting me!) (Not only that, but I got what I wanted from the dwarf alongside the fact that I had obtained a lot of materials.) "After so FUKING long!" (I have prepared a LOT of stuff!) (Now its just time to use it all without holding back at all!) "Its time to let lose." "And it''s time, for the "Doctor" to go on the rampage once again." Chapter 85 – “Doctor” return. [Several dayster after Phantasia had left the Dawn city.] "What? The Wood Mask had left the city?!" C asked the orc yer. "Yea. I looked bit into it and apparently, he left around the time where all of his items were sold." C said the goblin yer. "He took a caravan and left the city and nobody now knows where he is right now." "Really? Huh Wait, there was a rumor that he was training under some well-known craftsman here. I think it was dwarf What was his name again?" C said orc yer. "Evilin." C said goblin yer. "Yea! That guy!" "Isn''t he some sort of big deal in the city?" "Yea, and apparently, he was kidnapped sometime ago, before thening back alongside the masked figure. People think it was Wood Mask that rescued the dwarf andter on was epted as the dwarf disciple." C exined the goblin yer. "Oh. So maybe he was done with his training or something?" C asked the orc yer. "Meh. Who knows." C said the gobbling yer while walking on the streets alongside the orc yer. While the two yers continues discussing things between themselves, the orc yer suddenly ended up bumping into somebody who was much taller and bigger than them. The orc looked up before then seeing the hooded figure head. The hooded figure calmly gave a gesture that he was sorry before then walking away. "Huh?" - orc yer stood in ce. "What is it?" C asked the goblin yer. "N-no. I think it''s nothing? That weird looking guy in the mask walked past us." "Meh. There are all sort of wierdos in this world. We did encounter few weird people ourselves, both NPCs and yers." C said goblin yer. "Anyway, we should hurry to the hunting ground before too many yers get there." "Yea, you right." C said the orc yer before catching up to the goblin yer. As the two yers continues walking, there was a situation happening inside the workshop. "Master. We have problem with the supplies." C said the orc discipline of Evilin. "What?" C asked Evilin while taking a piece of paper from his discipline. "." "Really? For fuck sake, they messed up my order?" C said annoyed Evilin. "Hey. Go and take Michel and go out to buy few boxes of white iron, we are running low on it." "On it." C said the discipline before leaving the room, leaving behind Evilin all alone in his own room. The female orc discipline walked around the workshop before then meeting up with a dark elf discipline who was hammering a steel. After exining the situation to the dark elf, the duo quickly prepared before then leaving the workshop through the back exit. "Hm?" ". What?" As soon as the pair out of their workshop back entrance, they walked onto something they did not expected. Several guards were lying dead on the ground, with some of the guards having their body cut in two or more. And among all these corpse stood a tall giant person that waspletely covered in cloak. The two disciplines tried to do anything, but the hooded figure quickly rushed at the two. "Hey! Michel! The boss forgot to ask you to also buy some..." The goblin discipline opened the door, only to see the corpse of the dark elf body on the ground while the female orc body ended up copsing right in front of the goblin feet. The goblin looked up and saw the hooded figure right in front of him and without even bothering to think for a moment, goblin tried to shut the doors instantly, but before the doors could fully close, some of the de fingers quickly got in between the door and door frame, stopping the door from shutting itself. The door then got instantly knocked open before then the de came flying towards the goblin and impaled him. The goblin screamed in agony, rming other people inside the workshop as well as the other guards outside the workshop heard the scream. Some of the disciplines run towards the scene, only to see the goblin dead body on the floor alongside the hooded figure closing the backdoor. Your journey continues at empire Before long, more screams could be heard that ended up rming the dwarf who was in his room, drawing blueprints. The dwarf senses that something was wrong and quickly grabbed an axe alongside the gun. The dwarf quickly kicked open his door before then aiming with his double barreled gun and instantly spotted the hooded figure that was holding the guard in the air with some sort of giant long de. The hooded figure turned around towards the dwarf that instantly fired his shotgun, releasing a st of bullets that hit the man. However, the st did not knocked the man away and instead the sound of bullets hitting the metal could be heard. The dwarf fired again with his shotgun but the results were the same. "." "Evilin." C said the hooded figure. "." "Who the fuck are you?" C said the angry dwarf while pointing his shotgun at the hooded figure. "Me?" "Well, people do call me the "Doctor" and that is my name to many." C said the hooded figure while sticking out a giant hand from his cloak with long de like fingers before then taking off his hood and revealing a gue doctor like mask. "?!" (Wait!) C though the shocked dwarf. (The doctor?!) (As the one Phantasia pretended to be one?!) (He said that he was an extremely dangerous terrorist who uses some weird chimera like creatures and gues. He even destroyed multiple settlements and even a city in the past.) (Is that guy really a doctor?) (The mask looks simr to the fake mask Phantasia was wearing before...) (Wait.) (Is he by any chance working with that necromancer?!) (Was the real doctor working with the necromancer all along?!) (.) (Is he nning on kidnapping me again?) (NOT HAPPENING!) "[Power Bullet]!" Dwarf fired his shotgun at the man who quickly covered himself with the de fingers to block the shots before then rushing towards the dwarf and trying to sh him with his de fingers, forcing the dwarf to use his axe to block the attack barely in time, but resulted in the dwarf getting pushed back. "?!" (W-what the?!) C though the shocked dwarf. (That guy didn''t held back?! He went straight for the kill?!) Doctor rushed at the dwarf, trying to swipe at him again and again with his giant ws, forcing the dwarf to each time using either of his weapons to block since he did not had time to dodge. The dwarf tried counter attacking by shooting the doctor in the body, but again, it did not bothered the doctor when he was shot and instead the second arm emerged from the cloak, the same as his other one with giant and long de like fingers. The second hand flew towards the dwarf, catching him off guard and shing him across the chest before then having the first arm fallow up with and stabbing the dwarf with two of the de fingers right in his chest. "?!" C the doctor stared confused for some reason. The dwarf aimed with his shotgun before then firing with it as well as using skill [Wrecking Shot] that hit and pushed back the doctor and his w. "." "I see." C said the doctor while looking at his fingers. "You are wearing something underneath your clothes? Armor?" "." C dwarf noticed some of his disciplines right behind the doctor, realizing that they were still alive and were trying to get away, without letting the doctor notice them. "" "Why." C said dwarf. "Why are you trying to kill me?" "Aren''t you partner with that necromancer we killed?" "Hm? Necromancer?" C said the doctor. "Oh No, no, no, no." "I heard and know about what happened with you. About how some necromancer guy kidnapped you." "But honestly, I never ever met that guy." "And I don''t care." "." "What?" C said confused dwarf. "You see, my goal is simple." C said the doctor. "I want to destroy this city." "And I want to murder as many people as possible in this ce." "As well as to make sure that you, you of all people would die." "?!" The dwarf tried saying something, but then the doctor rushed at the dwarf. The dwarf swinged his axe at the doctor, but he knocked the axe away with his giant mechanical hand before then grabbing the dwarf by his neck with his other hand. The dwarf tried to remove the finger des that were sinking in his neck, but then the doctor stabbed the dwarf right in the guts with his other hand, lifting the dwarf by his neck and stomach. The dwarf tried desperately doing anything until the sound of something snapping could be heard fallowed by the dwarf body falling on the ground dead. The legendary smith of the Dawn city, Evilin was killed just like that. "." "Sorry buddy, but you were too important to be left unchecked." C though the doctor. The person that killed the smith of the Dawn city, Evilin was the doctor. But it wasn''t some imposter pretending to be him. No. It was Phantasia himself who had killed the Evilin.N?v(el)B\\jnn However, he looked different? His body was notable taller and bigger. Not only that, he had a pair of big inhuman looking arms that had some sort of weird and long de fingers. As for his mask? It was also way bigger than before and its appearance was also much different. It still had a gue doctor design as a base. The mask size was much bigger as well as the fact it was also noticeable much longer. The color of the mask was pitch ck, but it had pair of two giant green glowing eyes as well as two smaller ones on the sides. On top of it all, the "Evil" top hat was still there. As for the rest of Phantasia body, it was still covered in the unknown cloak, hiding its appearance. "Now then..." (I think its time for me to destroy this entire city.) Chapter 86 – Doctor in Dawn city. "Are you sure about this?!" C asked the guard who was running through the streets alongside few other guards. "Yea! Somebody had broken into the Evilin workshop and people even saw the unknown person just killing the guards before then entering the smith!" C said the panicking guard. "Shit! They are after Evilin again?!" "We need to hurry!" The guards of the city had been rmed by the unknown assant who murdered people near the back entrance, alongside the workshop guards, straight up in broad daylight, as if the culprit did not cared if somebody saw him or not. The guards began rushing straight towards the workshop and as soon as some of them arrived near the workshop, they realized something was wrong. The guards working for the Evilin workshop were nowhere to be seen and that rmed the guards extremely, considering the fact that the Evilin himself had boosted up his own workshop defenses. However, before long the guards would start hearing screamsing from workshop. "!" "Go! We need to- "n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om The guards entered through the main gate of the workshop, but before they could reach the main door of the workshop, it was suddenly burseted open by the explosion that ended up shocking the guards and making them stop in their ce. The guards wondered what just happened, but momentter one of the workshop guards end uping out flying workshop before then hitting the ground and rolling on it until then stopping at the feet of the guards, revealing a weird green wound across the guard chest. As for the workshop guard himself? Dead. The city guards stared at the corpse of the workshop guard, confused what just happened to him, but momentster they could hear somethinging from the workshop before momentster a tall figure walked had walked out from the workshop front door. The guards raised their weapons as the giant figured had fully walked out the door, revealing itself to be some sort of giant man with de like fingers as well as bird like head mask. The unknown person dragged something out of the workshop and noticed bunch of guards starting at him. "!" "Who are you?! Identify yourself immediately!" C shouted the guard while pointing his spear at the unknown individual. "Me?" "Oh. Greeting." C said the bird masked man. "Greetings to you all." "I''m the bastard who many knowns me by the name of "Doctor"." "You are probably wondering what I have done with Evilin, right?" C asked the doctor while putting down the device. "Unfortunately, you were toote. I killed him. I killed everybody inside the workshop." "And no, I didn''t kidnaped him or anything like that, my goal was to kill him." "As for the rest of you, well. I will destroy this entire city as well and murder every single person in this city." "!" The guards got instantly rmed by the man statement. "Evilin Is dead?!" C said one of the civilians that heard Doctor speech. "Wait, that can''t be right. Right?" "What''s going on?!" "Who is he?!" The panicked crowd who had heard everything were in panic, not knowing what to do. "EVERBODY! STAND BACK!" C shouted one of the guards towards the civilians as the more guards arrived at the scene. "Ah, more spectators. Good. Good." C said the doctor while pping his giant metallic ws like hands, scaring the guards as they saw his inhuman arms. "The more the marrier." "And that is the good reason for more than one!" C said Phantasia while putting his hand on the weird device next to him. While the guards were gathering at the Evilin workshop, somewhere in the dark ce was a weird clock like device and around that device were many eyes looking at the device. "When this device here rings and make a lot of noise, it''s a signal." C said Phantasia unknown when. "And once you hears it, go to the city and destroy it and kill anybody who you see." "Devour and destroy." The arm of the clock suddenly pointed to the top before then ringing a loud noise. "Hm?" "Hey, do you hear that?" C asked the miner who was pushing contain crates of ores. "?" "." "Yea. It hears like. Ringing?" C said the merchant who was inspecting the goods. ". Wait. What is "That" sound?" C asked the merchant after hearing new sounds, nowing from the underground path. The merchants and the guards looked towards the direction of the sound as the sounds became somewhat more disquotable. Foots steps... A sound of something running. A sound of something clicking their teethes. The sound of something snarling. And before long the people saw what was the source of themotion. It was chimeras. The chimeras were running through the path that was located inside the mountain connected to the Dawn city. The path that was used by the miners and the merchants for dealing and transporting the ores were being attacked by the chimeras and anybody that had been spotted by the chimeras were hunted down. The chimeras were heading straight towards Dawn city. As for Phantasia? Or more specifically the Doctor, he was getting surrounded more and more as the guards gathered. "." "I think this is enough." C said Doctor suddenly. Doctor grabbed the top part of the device handle before twisting it and extending it, revealing a weird ssyponent with some sort of liquid inside before then putting the extendedponent back inside. Phantasia then grabbed the device with both hands, swinged it and threw it towards the guards as the bigntern like device began releasing yellowish green smoke before then device ended up falling among the guards. "?!" "What the fuck is that?!" C said the guard while backing away from the smoke as it builds up and spreads. The guards tried to keep their distance from the device as more and more smoke was getting released from it. However, while everybody was paying attention to the smoke and device, nobody had realized that Doctor had taken off his cloak, revealing his body. His body looked now. Different. It looks like its just some fully body armor at the first ce, but that is not the case. That armor was part of his own body. Phantasia then extended both of his giant arms forward towards the guards before then having the giant fingers bend backwards and reveal a two gatling like guns inside his arms that began spinning. When one of the guards looked back and tried to rm the others, it was toote. The barrels of the guns began spinning at rapid rate before then firing mana shots at the guards. It wasn''t one or two shots; it was a barrage of shots that came flying towards the guards. The guards were still confused and shocked with the mysterious device and the smoke, and so they ended up letting their guard down in the worst possible timing as the hail of mana shots began hitting and dealing massive amount of damage to the guards. The guards werepletely catched in the trap. In one hand, the weird device continues spreading the unknown smoke, while on the other hand, the mad man continues firing at them from afar. And to add even more trouble, while everybody was focused on Doctor rampage at the Evilin workshop, nobody was paying attention to the huge group of chimeras that were making their way towards the city through the path located inside the mountain. "Hm?" "!" "Hey! Something is wrong!" C said the guard in the underground passage. "I hear screams!" "?!" "What the hell are those things?!" C said the other guard, noticing and seeing the chimeras running towards them. "Shit!" "Everybody! Inside! We need to close gate! Now!" The guards quickly run to other side of the gate before then starting to close the gate as the monsters finally got near the gate. The guards sighted in relief, but momentter the gate began shacking and trembling with each time growing stronger. "." "Call for help." C said the guard. Experience more on empire "What?" "CALL FOR FUKING HELP! NOW!" "ALARM THE- " Before the guard could finish speaking, the sound of the rm could be heard. ". What?" C said the confused and yet scared guard who was about to ask for the rm to be raised. "What. What is going on?" While the chimeras were trying to break the gate to get inside the city, the Doctor continues his own rampage. Gunning down any guards or civilians he saw, causing panic and chaos. Guards tried approaching Doctor, but the mysterious smoke was scaring them, not knowing if they even should get near or not. There was also the fact that the mad man was firing with his guns nonstop at them. However undenounced to them, the gas was already doing its work. It was a gue. The reason why Doctor waited until a lot of guards gathered was for the gue to spread again, just like it did he same way with Min city. gue. Chimeras. And now for something new, the madman who turned himself into monster. It was like before with Min city. But not exactly the same. The question is: Will this city survive? Or will it face the same end as Min city, or maybe even far worse? Chapter 87 – Dawn city and Doctor rampage. "Shit! Don''t get near that smoke! We don''t know what the hell this is?!" C shouted the guard. "Everybody! Evacuate this instance! This is an order! EVERBODY OUT!" C shouted the guard the civilians who were still at the scene. "?!" "Wait!" C shouted the orc guard. "Where the fuck is that guy?!" "?!" The guards looked around, only to realized that the Phantasia was nowhere in sight. "Shit!" "He must have escaped the moment we were focused on civilians!" C said one of the guards. "Look around! He cannot be too far away!" Somehow without even realizing this, Phantasia hadpletely disappeared and was currently on the run. (Idiots.) C though Phantasia while watching the guards from top of the building. (Still, they somewhat hold off my gatling guns?) (Well, they are really not that strong. And they also overhead, so I need to have short break after firing nonstop.) (Honestly, its just not matter of time, but more about resources. I need more specific resources for this gatling gun thing. There is also the fact that its only good when its rapid fires mana shots, but it also eats bit of my mana nonstop.) (But, even without the guns, I still have my ws that can tear people apart.) Phantasia jumped from the building, onto the streets that had been filled with people. "Huh?" C said the confused elf. Before could ask any question or anything like that, Phantasia went on rampage with his ws, ughtering and cutting people to pieces. "" "M- " "MURDER!" "RUN AWAY!" In the instant people realized the danger and began screaming, rming the guards that were searching for Phantasia as well as some yers nearby. "Huh? What going on?" C asked the orc yer. "?" Suddenly people began running past the group of yers, confusing the yers in the process. However as soon as they looked what they were running away from, it was an mistakes sine all they saw was a giant wing towards the orc yer before then impaling him and then having the second w hand cut off the man head off. "EH?" The yers could only stare as one of their friends was suddenly killed. But as soon as one of them regained themselves, it was toote since there were then torn to shreds. The other yers regained themselves and tried attacking the madman, but there was no chance. Each and every of those yers were easily torn to shreds by the monster like ws. "!" "Found him!" C shouted the guard from behind. "Tch." Phantasia rushed at the guard that had discovered it and began attacking him. The guard tried to defend himself, but he got also torn to shreds by the ws. However, his shout ended up rming the other guards and revealing Phantasia location. The guards rushed to the scene, but Phantasia began firing poison magic at them, forcing the guards to block and keep their distance. "[Poison Smoke]." Phantasia fired a smoke of poison towards the guards, blocking their vision and path before then turning around and running away. However, while he was running away, he was assaulting and murdering any civilians in his way, causing multiple to die while also using this entire situation to spread chaos around. The guards tried giving chase, but Phantasia fired necrotic magic shots at them, straight up not letting get near them while also the panicking crowd was also hindering the guards movement. After that, Phantasia just fired [Poison Blow], firing a projectile of poison smoke that exploded upon contact and created small cloud of poison that again had hinder the guards again before then Phantasia went on rampage again, killing civilians before then going to the back alley. "He went this way!" C shouted the guard that was chasing after Phantasia. The guards tried running after Phantasia, but as soon as they entered the back alley, the spell trap that was ced by Phantasia activated, releasing a poison gas that straight up spread panic among the guards who tried to get away, but the guards from the back were blocking their way in the narrow alley way. "Catch." C said Phantasia before throwing something towards guards. The guards looked up and saw sphere like object that flew above them before it began glowing. Momentter, the sphere blew up, creating arge explosion that catched the multiple guards in it. Phantasia then took out a second grenade and threw it towards the guards, blowing them up again. "SHIT! RETREAT!" C shouted the guard. "It''s a trap! Get the fuck out of here!" The guards began rushing out of the alley way, but then Phantasia himself rushed out of the alley way, fallowing them, before then shing few guards right in the back while they were trying to run away. "COMMON!" "This bastard Doctor have yet to finish his experiments!" C shouted Phantasia. "." "Wait Did he said "Doctor"?" C said the yer nearby who sees Phantasia and had also heard him say name "Doctor". While the doctor continues spreading chaos around the city, it was also creating huge distraction. And that distraction straight up made people not so aware about the chimeras banging on the city gate. "SHIT!" - shouted the muscr guard. "Where the fuck are reinforcements?! The gates won''t hold for much longer!" "Sir! We have a problem!" C said the soldier that just ran to the scene. "Reinforcements?!" C asked muscr guard. Explore more stories with empire "N-NO!" C replied regr soldier. "There is an fuking terrorist in our city right now! And he apparently killed Evilin!" "?!" "Wait, WH- " Before the guard could finish speaking, the gate that had been holding back chimeras began breaking down. The guards began panicking as more and more parts of the gate began falling off before then the gate could not endure it any longer and ended up getting brute force opened by chimeras that were being led by the pseudo werewolf chimera. The chimeras have officially broken into the city. And now, the city have another big problem that they need to deal with at all cost. The moment chimeras got inside the city, they began attacking and ughtering the guards that were trying to block the chimeras from entering the city. The muscr dark elf guard tried to lead the guards, but before he had realized that, he was shed with the giant sword wielded by the pseudo werewolf before. The heavy wounded elf pushed the pseudo werewolf away from its body, but it wasn''t over. The dark elf guard was not targeted by one chimera, but also by Princess (horned wolf chimera) as well as the rabbit beat chimera. The chances of the muscr dark elf surviving this were. Quite grim for him to the point even he realized that. And while the chimeras had finally managed to break into the city, Phantasia continues his rampage. As for what he did right now? He killed all the guards that were chasing him. "." (Good.) C though Phantasia while looking at the corpse of the guards. (Well, also not good.) (I mean, there is no way I had killed just half of the guards protecting this city and stuff. I mean, it wouldn''t be surprising at all if I didn''t even killed 1/3 or less than 1/4.) (Still, I did managed to bait a lot of them and had killed a lot of them in one go. So, I-) Suddenly something hit Phantasia right in the head, making it bent to his right. "." Phantasia calmly looked to his left. "The fuck?! That was head shot!? Is he wearing some thick helmet or something?!" C said the dark elf carrying the bow. "." C Phantasia spotted several people nearby that looked as if they were ready to fight at any moment. (Wait. yers.) C though Phantasia after finding out that the people right in front of him. (Well, it was quiet extremely obvious that I will run into some yers that will want to fight me, but this is quiet too early.)N?v(el)B\\jnn "The fuck do you want?" C said Doctor while turning around towards the yers. "." "You are the fuking doctor?" C asked the orc yer with an axe. "Yea, and?" C replied Doctor. "!" C the yers got rmed by that response. "And what about it? Huh? Piss off." C said Doctor while giving a hand gesture to the yers to leave him. "!" "Oh no you fucker!" C said the goblin yer. "I don''t fuking know if you are an fuking real doctor or not, but you are fuking going around making a mess out of the fuking city!" "Oh, you heard about me? What honor!" C said Doctor while pping his hands. "But." C Doctor stopped pping his hands. "What will you do about it?" "What its matter if I''m real or some fake, what will you do about it?" "Are you going to pretend to be some sort of hero of justice and try to stop me froming "Evil acts"?" Dark elf yer fired an arrow at Phantasia, but he just raised his hand up and used it to deflect to arrow. "?!" "The fuck?!" C said the dark elf yer. "." ''Sigh'' "That was so rude, you know?" C said Doctor. "You know, you should let the viins finish their evil speeches or transformation and stuff, if you were and gentlemen." "But nope. Fuck it." "I thought I would y with you all a little by letting you go, only to kill you sometimeter and destroy your hope." "But screw it." "You fuking just signed your own fuking death certificates." "And you all should thank that archer for that." C said Doctor while pointing at the confused and scared dark elf archer. "As for your previous question you had been wondering about." "Unfortunately, I''m real fuking deal." "I ain''t some pretender. I''m the real fuking Doctor." "So, without further ado, struggler or not, either way you will all fuking die." Chapter 88 – Dawn city and Doctor rampage – part 2. "." "." The yers stared at the Doctor with mixed expressions. Some of the yers were scared, while some of them were confident. "." (5 yers.) C though Phantasia while observing the yers. (This isn''t Min city filled with newbies, but instead Dawn city filled with somewhat high level yers.) (Well, high level or not, if they are weak, what does that matter in the end?) "" "GET HIM!" C shouted the goblin yer. The goblin, human and the orc yer rushed towards Doctor, but as soon as they tried to do so, Phantasia lifted both of his arms and revealed his gatling guns. The yers were confused and catched off guard as they saw Doctor arm suddenly changing shape as well as having now some sort of gun barrels sticking out from them. Momentster the gun barrels began spinning before then starting to fire a hail of mana shots at the yers that were rushing towards. The three yers ended up getting hit with the barrage of the bullets, however the goblin yer used his movement skill to quickly get away. But for the other two yers? They weren''t lucky and ended up receiving the nonstop barrage of the necrotic mana shots, over and over as they screamed while the others watched in confusion and horror. "!" "STOP IT!" C shouted the goblin yer as he rushed towards Phantasia. The goblin leaped towards Phantasia and swinged his knife at him, trying to stab him in the neck, however Phantasia did not cared and continue firing with his gatling guns, even after noticing the goblin yer. The goblin knife flew towards Phantasia neck and hit it. But did not pierced it. "?!" (Wait what?!) C though goblin yer. Golbin yer began attacking Phantasia over and over with his knifes, trying to make him stop attacking the two yers. "!" "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO WAITING FOR?! HELP ME OUT!" C shouted the goblin yer to the two stunned yers in the back. The guns suddenly stopped firing. "[Necro Bomb]." Phantasia fired a magic skill from his gun barrel as if it was his hand. The ball of necrotic energy flew towards the two yers, hitting them and blowing them up that lead to them being easily finished off. The other yers could only stared confused and two of theirrades were killed like nothing. However, while they were focused on that, the goblin yer didn''t realized that Phantasia had restored his arms to the previous state and grabbed the goblin with his giant knife fingers. The goblin yer tried to resist, but then the second hand grabbed the goblin by his head. "!" "LET HIM GO!" C shouted the archer yer. Archer yer fired with their bow at the Doctor, but because the archer shouted before shooting like a total idiot, Phantasia saw him preparing to attack and quickly moved the goblin to his side and had him took the shot for him. "?!" C the archer realized he hit the goblin yer by ident. "[Acid de]." Phantasia fired the de of acid right in the goblin face as the goblin continues screaming. The archer prepared to shot again with his bow, but he was too scared to fire an arrow, thinking that the goblin will be used as the shield again. But there was no need to worry since Phantasia finished the goblin off soon after and had his corpse fall on the ground. "." "AAAAAAAAA!" The panicking dark elf archer and the dark elf mage began firing arrows and spells at the Doctor. However, in response to that, Doctor began dodging and blocking the attacks with his de fingers as well as the using skill [Bone Shield] to manifest a barrier of bones around himself that blocked the attacks. After getting closed enough, Phantasia put his hands on the ground before then quickly rushed on all fours and getting to the mage. The mage tried firing magic at him, but Phantasia smacked their arm with the staff away before then impaling them with his de fingers before then going for the finisher. The next thing the archer saw was the mage headless corpse fall on the ground. "." The archer straight up gave up fighting and instead tried to run away, but before they could do, they ended up getting hit with [Acid Ball] right in the back before then rolling the ground. The dark elf tried to get up in panic, but it was toote as his leg was grabbed by the Doctor. The yer screamed, but not for long as he was killed momentster after getting captured. "." (Huh. They were much weaker than I had expected?) C though bit confused Phantasia. (Or maybe I had be much stronger?) (I mean, I did some solid changed to my body.) (Straight to the point where my own race changed.) [Main race: Undead / Zombie] - [Sub race 1: Human undead] [Sub race 2: Cyborg] [Race change] [Main race 1: Undead / Zombie] - [Sub race 1: Human undead] [Main race 2: Cyborg Being] (I didn''t even knew that my sub race will change and became second main race? How the hell does that work?) (Well, its not like-) "FOUND HIM!" "?" Phantasia spotted several guardsing his way. "." "Nah." Phantasia took out a grenade from his inventory before throwing it towards the guards. The grenade exploded near the guards, blocking their way with explosion as Phantasia quickly began running away. (Common! Chase me around you fuckers!) (I had infected good amount of you with the gue already and you idiots will do exact same mistake the Min city guards did.) C though Phantasia before turning around and firing bunch of long range spell attacks at the guards to slow them down as well as to provoke them. (However, this ce has probably more advance healers that may have an ability to deal with the gue somewhat.) (So, its better to distract those idiots and have them chase me around in order to spread gue enough to the point healers will have somewhat hard time dealing with it.) "!" In front of Phantasia stood a group of yers alongside the civilians. "!?" "Who the fuck is that?!" C shouted the yer that led to other people noting Phantasia running towards them. "Nice." C said Phantasia. Phantasia ran towards people in front of him while having his ws ready to ughter his unlucky victims. However, while guards were still chasing after the Doctor, nobody had realized that there were two problems. The first was that Phantasia was using his tactic from Min city where he had infected the guards with the gue and had them run around, trying to find as well as protecting the citizens, while not realizing that they were spreading the infection around. And the second problem was the gate used by miners and the merchants. It was broken open and the chimera army had gotten inside the city. The chimeras had killed all the guards and civilians near gate and now, nothing was stopping them anymore. Stay connected through empire As soon as the chimeras murdered anything near the gate, they split up, with each chimera going in random directions. Their goal? Destroy and murder. "Hm?" The guard turned around, only to get suddenly attacked a pinned against the ground by the mountain panther chimera. The guard tried struggling until somebody rushed with the shield and knocked the chimera away. "Hey!? What the fuck is going on?!" C said the yer that saved the guard. "?!" The yer looked towards the direction of the chimera and realized it was not normal monster. "THE FUCK IS THAT?!" - shouted confused yer.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "?!" C While the yer was looking at the chimera right in front of him, he suddenly noticed something in the distance that instantly made him confused as well as scared. The yer gaze suddenly changed from the panther chimera, to the group of chimeras running towards him and the guard. "Run... RUN NOW!" C shouted the guard after getting up. The chimeras were now lose in the city and had started hunting anybody who they had spotted. There weren''t really that many chimeras, but presence of those bizarre monsters along the fact that they were suddenly running amok ended up causing one thing. CHAOS. It was just like Min city all over again. The chaos was rapidly spreading across the city and while it was spreading, so was the gue that had already infected several people. (But things obviously aren''t easy.) C though Phantasia while hiding inside the building that was filled with corpse and was looking through the window. (This ce isn''t Min city and the yers here CAN fight back.) (Not only that, this ce is also far more important than Min city, meaning that its way heavier defended.) (I did catched thempletely off guard, but I have problems with my build.) (The first problem is that I was forced to became all-rounder in terms of stat build, with main focus being [Mana] as well as either [Necromancy Mastery] or [Taming Mastery].) "!" Phantasia quickly moved away from the window as a group of guards run by before then looking outside the window to make sure that they were gone. (I did increased my [Necromancy Mastery] and [Taming Mastery] as much as possible, but because of the other stats now bing too important for me to ignore, I was forced to depress the number of points those two stats get.) (And because of that, the number of my chimeras isn''t that high. There is also the fact that stronger chimeras eat way more points and I had used some strong monsters to create those chimeras) (I did focused more on numbers than strength, so I have some numbers, but again, I didn''t increase my points that much.) (But the question is, how long they willst?) (The three of my best chimeras did leveled up and everything, so they are somewhat stronger. But even they have their limits. Sooner orter the chimeras will be dealt with, just how they had dealt with the chimeras in Min city. There is also huge possibility of them beating my chimeras way faster than I had possible nned, so I need to be extra careful as well) (Still, I have advantage.) (The gue that I had spread around is only good at spreading and having some nasty effects.) (It will hinder them all and make things much more difficult for them, but I still need to keep them distracted and focus on me and chimeras in order for the gue to spread further before they start using healers to deal with it.) (And I''m a perfect target for them, since I''m the bastard spreading most chaos around here, and that will make them somewhat confused, that will result in them somewhat ignoring the chimeras, since they will be focused on me.) (Speaking of myself.) (I have still a lot of potions in stock as well as food, I have means of recovering and I need to use those things whenever I have a chance. But I also need to be careful with my MP, since my cyborg body special function and weapons do eat some amount of it. And I have yet to use "That" mode.) (And if I use that, it will results in huge amount of MP lose, depending for how long I would use it for.) "." (And about the possible destruction of this city?) (Yea It is still possible. I''m confided that I have a chance to destroy this ce.) (And even if I fail, I did archived some of my goals already.) (The city is infected and will suffer damage from the gue.) (And the legendary cksmith and my master is dead. This will straight up depressing those bastards even worse,pare to when dwarf was kidnapped.) (So even if I won''t manage to destroy this city on the first try, the second and possible third tries will became much smother.) (But who the fuck says I should stop here?) (I will fuking make sure that this ce is destroyed, just to test out some of my experiment and have fun while at it!) Chapter 89 – Dawn city and Doctor rampage – part 3. "Everybody! Move for crying out loud! We need to find that guy before he kills any more people!" C shouted the guard that was looking. "" C one of the guards stayed behind, trying to catch their breath. "Hey! What are you waiting for!?" C shouted the guard that ran ahead. "S-sorry! I needed to catch a breath for moment." C said the guard that started running in order to catch up the to the others, however beware to him or the other guards, this guard was already infected with the gue. Phantasia was still on the run, killing people and spreading his gue around. The city was in total panic and had raised all of their rms, warning people about the madman who was running around and killing people. However, to add even more problem was the fact that the madman in question was still on the loose. "Shit! He is here!" - shouted the guard. "?!" "NO DON''T!" C shouted the other guard, realizing that something was off. The guard run towards the corner, only to get dragged into the corner and having his screams be heard momentster. The guards only stared confused and scared, wondering what just happened, before momentster the chimeras began walking out of the alley way. "?!" "What the fuck are those things?!" C shouted the confused guard after spotting the bizarre creatures. It was matter of time, but now is official. The city knows about the chimeras that were going on the rampage. But not all hope was lost. The yers had joined in and had started helping out in dealing with the problems. Why they suddenly joined? Well, the first reason is obvious: They want to survive. And the second reason is this: [Quest has been generated.] [Unknown assailed in the Dawn city.] [An unknown person had suddenly appeared in the city and had started ughtering people left and right.] [Not only that, but that unknown assant had murdered had murdered the most well known person in the city: Evilin.] [Deal with the culprit and quell down the chaos.] [Objective: Capture or defeat the unknown culprit or culprits and/or restore order in the city.] [Failure: Unknown penalty.] A quest had manifested and that ended up rming people, realizing that the current situation isn''t normal, since the quest was straight up created to deal with the Doctor. The yers had now officially started hunting the Doctor, and that was obviously not gone unnoticed by Phantasia. "." (Yeb They are looking for me.) C though Phantasia while observing the yers from top of the building. (But it shouldn''t-) "I FOUND HIM!" "?" "?!" Phantasia turned to his right and saw a yer on top of the building. "He is hiding on the roof of the building! He- " Before the yer could finish speaking, Phantasia fried barrage of the projectiles and blew the man up, before then sending him flying and knocking him off the building roof. However, his shouts had already rmed both yers and the guards. "Tch." Phantasia took out some of his grenades and threw them down towards the ground and blowing some of pursuers up who had gathered around. However, it wasn''t enough as some of the people began heading towards some of the building while others began climbing buildings. Phantasia saw it all and instantly jumped from his current building towards the another, trying to gain some distance. However, people still chased him and in response Phantasia began firing magic at them, but he wasn''t the only one using range attacks. yer were also firing attacks at him from the distance, forcing him to cover himself with his de hands in order to somewhat block the projectiles. (Shit! My current position is bad. I need to quickly change it.) Phantasia quickly turned around and jumped down from the building he was on to the bit smaller building right next to his. Phantasia flew andnded on top of the building. However. "?!" The roof of the build broke down and Phantasia fall down inside the building. "Shit?!" C said surprised and shocked Phantasia. "!" "He is down there! He fall down!" C shouted the voice from above. "?!" (Already?! They are already catching up?!) "" C Phantasia looked around. Phantasia saw a stairs and quickly ran towards them, before then jumping down from his current floor onto the lower on, however not reaching the ground floor since he was in the multiple floor building. "?!" "Who are you?!" C asked the confused civilian. "Tch." Phantasia rushed at the noble and quickly shed him to bits with his ws. Phantasia run towards the second stairs, but then he saw through the window nearby as a group of yers were looking around for him right outside the building. "Hended in that building!" C shouted the yer from above. "Quickly! Bash that door and get inside!" C shouted the orc yer that was leading the yers on the ground. The yers alongside the guards were slowly arriving at the scene with some yers already trying to break down the building door. After few tries, the door got finally broken down. However. As soon as the first yer got inside the building, he suddenly tripped on something. "?!" "Hey! Watch it you idiot!" C said the yer that was trying to enter the building. "S-shut up!" C said the yer that tripped. "?" The yer looked on the ground to see what exactly he tripped on, only to see a round object beneath his feet that momentster would explode, blowing up several yers that were trying to get inside the house. "!?" "What the hell just happened?!" C shouted the confused guard. The surprise bomb attack ended up catching people off guard, but not stopping thempletely as multiple yers quickly rushed inside the building. "Shit! Look around! He couldn''t get away far enough!" C shouted the guard. "Hey! Is he on top again?!" C shouted the yer. "No! We don''t see him up here!" C replied the yer that was on top of building. "Fuck! Where the hell did, he disappeared?!" "Wait! This building has second entrance there! And the doors are already busted right open!?" C shouted the yer that spotted the back door entrance that was wrecked open. "This way!" The yers and the guards began running through the house in order to use the building back entrance. However, that was a trick. He didn''t used that door. He was hiding. As for where he was hiding? Well, he was hiding in the random room located inside the building he was just in. "." (FUCK ME THAT WAS CLOSE!) C though panicking Phantasia. (A way too many people had managed to gather up. I don''t think they had worked together or something I just got incredible unlucky for fuck sake.) "." (Okay Let them split up a bit while having them try and find me, then I will go on rampage again.) (But This isn''t also that bad.) C though Phantasia while taking out potions from his inventory and starting to drink them in hurry. (With so many people on the move and everything, the gue will spread at rming rate.) (Some people may have realized that they had been infected with the gue, but considering the current chaos and everything, their efforts to rm people may be not some fruitful right now, meaning I still have some time.) (Still. The gue should have spread around the whole city in many different areas already, meaning that I''m getting advantage right now.) (But again.) (Chimeras.) (People may realize that the gue is spreading around the city, sincest time those bizarre monsters appeared, there was also gue spreading around the city.) (So honestly, I don''t know how much time I have left...) "." "Shit." (How long will the chimerasst? That is the good question.) (They are right now focused on me But before long they will also focus on chimeras and the gue.) "." Stay connected with empire "Ah. I really wanted to wait bit more, but fuck it." "If I don''t do it, then it will hinder my ns... Fuck..." Meanwhile, right outside the building. "Hey, are you sure he went this way?" C asked the guard right outside the building. "Yea, there was no other way out." C replied yer. "People on top said that he didn''t climbed back on top of the building, so he must have taken the back entrance." "Hm." "You two, take some of the adventures and try getting around. We can maybe be able to cut him off." C said the supposals high ranking guard who wasmanding other guards around. ". Wait. Did any of you checked if everybody was fine inside the building?" "." "YOU FUKING IDIOTS!" C shouted the guard leader. "Why the fuck nobody checked it?!" C said the guard while starting to run. "Fuck! Quickly get- " The high ranking guard rushed to the building and quickly climbed on top of the stairs. But as soon as he climbed on top of the stairs, his voice was suddenly got cut off. "?" C the people who tried fallowing the high ranking guard suddenly stopped, right before they could start climbing the stairs. "Marcel?" C asked one of the guards who slowly approached the stairs. "?" "AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" "?!" The people outside the building suddenly heard screaminging from inside of it. "Hey! What happened?!" C asked the yer that was running towards the building. The yer ran towards the building, but as soon as he tried to enter it, he suddenly stopped. "Eh?" yer looked down and saw multiple des pierce ring right through his body.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om The other people saw this as well before then yer body was lifted up and then throwed away like the trash to the side. "?!" "Hey wait! That guy is still here?!" C said the yer who was still in area. "Shit! Call everybody! Call- " Phantasia quickly rushed towards the yer that was trying to said something and quickly decapitated the poor bastard. "Sorry, but I can''t have you call anybody for help." C said Doctor while walking out of the building. "You all going to die here!" Chapter 90 – Dawn city and Doctor rampage – part 4. The sudden appearance of the Doctor from the building he had supposals "left", had ended up surprising and confusing the yers and guards, realizing the fact that bastard had tricked them all. However, this wasn''t the main problem. The people did not waited around and instant gave chase, after the Doctor who had supposals used the back entrance of the building to ran away. But still, there were few guards and yers in the area. "" "Shit!" C shouted the yer suddenly. "What the fuck are you scared for?! We outnumber him and everything!" "He is just one guy!" "!" The yers and the guards quickly got their grips back after hearing this simple fact. One enemy. There was just one enemy in front of them. Some of yers were confided, thinking that it will be easy. But then Phantasia arms changed shape again and showing off the gatling guns. "Eh?" C said the surprised yer. "What is that?" Phantasia gun barrels began spinning before then he started firing mana shots at the yers. "?!" "DODGE!" C shouted the guard. Phantasia began firing the barrage of the mana shots towards each and every yer, gunning down several guards and yers with ease. "He has an fuking miniguns?! What the fuck is that?!" C shouted the confused yer while taking cover behind a building. Some of the weaker guards as well as yers were easily killed by the barrage of the mana shots. This scene straight up terrified people. They did had numbers, yes. But the madman was way stronger than they had though. The confided smiles some of the yers had instantly had disappeared. But then, the shots had stopped being fired. "?" "D-did he run out of am- " Before the yer could finish speaking, Phantasia quickly run towards the yer that was hiding behind building. "[Body Weapon]." [Fighter Skill] [Body Weapon] [Temporarily boost performance of the body type attack skills.] [Using specific skills rted to the non-bodybat skills will instantly chancel this skill. (Things like sword rted skill or [Fire Ball] skill.)] Phantasia rushed at the man and quickly shed him to pieces with his ws. After killing the unlucky yer, Phantasia then rushed at the guards who was hiding behind the building alongside that unlucky victim and quickly began murdering the guard. However, the other people on the scene did not stood idle and rushed towards Phantasia while he was dealing with the guards. But Phantasia noticed that and extended his left hand towards them. "!" "DODGE!" The people instantly got away, thinking that Phantasia would again transform his hand into a gun once more and began firing with. "" "?" But no shots were fired and instead the guard Phantasia was fighting got killed. "." "MOTHERFUCKER!" C shouted the yer after realizing that he and the others were tricked. The angry yers rushed towards Phantasia and tried attacking them with axes and swords, but Phantasia used skill [Body Block] and blocked the yers attack with ease with his w hands. "?!" C the yers stared surprised as their attacks were easily blocked. "My turn." C said Phantasia before lifting his arms up and knocking away weapons away. "[Jab]." [Power and attack speed of the next [Arm] have been increased.] Phantasia swinged his w across every single yer chest, cutting it and dealing massive amount to each yer. "[Power Kick]!" Phantasia swinged his right leg around, kicking two of the yers with it and sending them flying, before then rushing towards the two nearest yers that weren''t kicked and quickly impale them. The impaled yers stared scared at Phantasia, not knowing what to do and honestly before they could do anything, they were quickly torn to shreds with ws. "You son of a bitch!" C shouted the orc yer that ran towards Phantasia. The orc yed swinged their giant axe and in response to that, Phantasia quickly stepped to the side, dodging the attack. "!?" C the orc yer panicked. After dodging the attack Phantasia quickly stabbed the orc yer right through his face with his de fingers, before then having the orc yer corpse fall on the ground. The guards that were on the scene were just watching. They were scared. The madman didn''t just killed some random civils, but adventures that can fight as well as the guards with such ease as well as short amount of time. And they were next as Phantasia straight up run towards them. Momentster, only the guards as well as the remaining yers dying screams could be heard in the distance. However, thismotion obvious did not went unnoticed. "I heard something this way! Quickly!" C shouted the voice from around the corner. "" C Phantasia heard the voice of the personing from the corner. "" "Quick! That ba- " As soon guard turned around, he found himself face to face with Doctor who was waiting. The guard was instantly impaled with de ws before then getting cut to shreds with them. The other guards who were at the scene were confused and catched off guard by that surprise attack, but it wasn''t over. Phantasia rushed at the guards and began tearing, smashing and shredding them, killing them one by one as their horrific screams. However, this action again ended up getting people attention as more guards and yers arrived at the scene, but this time not spotting the Doctor anywhere, but only the mess he made. "?!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "J-JEZUS!?" C said scared yer. "Oh my god. What the hell happened here?! W-why they are like that?!" C said confused yer who was backing away. "." (Good.) C though Phantasia who was hiding nearby, observing the yers. (The situation is turning perfectly more and more chaotic.) C though Phantasia while drinking mana recovery potions. (This will confuse them a bit as well, with that whole bamboozle thing.) (Not only that, they are now looking for me even more desperately, AND THANKS TO THOSE IDIOTS THE PLAUGE SHOULD ALREADY TOOK OVER THIS PLACE!) (Well, maybe But It should have done its job.) "Hm?" Find exclusive stories on empire "Hey! What the fuck is that?!" C shouted the yer suddenly, catching attention of the other yers on the scene. The yers turned around and some the bizarre chimera monstersing their way. And among the chimeras that were running towards them was the pseudo werewolf monster carrying a shield and a sword. "?!" "W-what the hell are those?!" "I don''t know. But they are definitely not friendly!" "Get ready!" "We- " The yers quickly prepared themselves to face the chimeras. But while they were not looking, Phantasia had already left his hiding spot and was already standing behind the staff carrying yer. "?!" Before the staff carrying yer realized that, he impaled with the w des from behind, right through his chest and before he could even say a world, he was quickly decapitated. "Hey! Cast buffs on us!" C said the human yer. "." "Hey! Can''t you hear me?! Cast- " The human yer turned around and saw the staff wielding yer dead on the ground. "Hi." C said Doctor. "?!" "BEHIND US!" C shouted the human yer. "?" "?!" C yers turned around and saw the Doctor right behind them. "Shit! He got Deez!" C said the goblin yer. "?" "Deez?" C asked Doctor. "." "No. Don''t you fuking dare and say it." "?" "!" "Oh, no, no! That was that guy name." C said goblin yer while pointing at the corpse. "He didn''t even made his nickname based on that and that is the weird part!" "." "Really?" C asked suspicious Doctor. "Really." C replied goblin yer. "." "You know, one thing is that one guy is his nickname of choosing, and the other is the fact that you maybe shouldn''t have forgotten what was happening right behind you." C said Doctor while pointing at something behind the yers. "Eh?" Goblin yer looked behind him and the next thing he saw a giant swording his way before then getting crushed by it. "?!" "No!" C said the human yer who rushed towards goblin side. "And again, idiots." C said Doctor from behind. "?!" Human yer was impaled with the de fingers. "Why the fuck you are keep turning around like that?! How stupid are you?!" C said Phantasia before then quickly and brutally murdering the human yer. The remaining party members were both confused and scared. From one side, the Doctor. And from the other, chimeras. So, what did those yers did? They died. They straight up couldn''t do anything and ended up dying. "." (It doesn''t seem like they are any more people around I have a moment to breath by the look of things.) C though Phantasia while looking around and trying to spot anybody. "Still, I wasn''t expecting you to live that long." C said Phantasia while petting his werewolf chimera. (Well, its not like he is in good state anyway.) (He suffered a lot of damage and those other chimeras are at death door already.) (Well, those were expendable chimeras that once they die, they die for good.) (.) (Meh. Who cares about them?) (Any good chimeras I like got registered, so even if they die, they will have ability to respawn after specific amount of time passes.) (I don''t care about those chimeras anyway, since their goal is to just cause chaos, destruction, confusion and help the gue spread.) (I had also killed way more yers than I though.) (Honestly, I thought I would be. Well Weaker?) (I though there would be few strong bastards among the yers that would give me some big problems and stuff, but nope so far?) (Huh...Am I really that strong?) (Well, I wasn''t necessary holding back and all. I still have my ACEs, but I was taking it serios. I already used a lot of skills, items and potions.) (And on top of all this bullshit, this ce is massive. This ce is way bigger than Min city, meaning that the number of the guards here is also way higher. There was also that whole necromancer incident that ended somewhat forcing them to boost their security.) (Still, the gue should have sessful spread around the city.) (Its not 100% infection, but it should have somewhat had infected people be around in different ces.) (But not enough.) (I wouldn''t be surprised if I got a sudden boss fight or something like that at any moment, just like how I fought "Him" back then. He beat the shit out of me that time.) "[Taming Art: Recovery]." "[Corpse Restoration]." Phantasia healed his pseudo werewolf monsters. "Go. In that direction and continue your rampage." C said Doctor while pointing in random direction. "Try to go in single direction as much as possible or something and continue going on rampage, got it?" (This isn''t enough.) (I need to make things even more chaotic.) (I need to make them more scared!) (I need them be more confused!) (I need them to think too much.) (I need them try and safe everybody.) (And once that chaos spread enough and too much for them to handle, then it will be a perfect opportunity to destroy this entire ce!) Chapter 91 - Dawn city and Doctor rampage – part 5. "I found some of those bastards here!" C shouted the yer. "Here! Its another one of those bizarre monsters!" A group of yers were currently hunting around city, looking for the rampaging chimeras. "There! And its injured one at that!" C said the yer that had managed to corner the injured chimera. "We- " Before the yer could say anything, a st of poison magic began falling down on yers from above, injuring them severely before then Doctor jumped down and began attacking yers. "!" "Hey! That guys is here!" C shouted the yer that had spotted the doctor on the rampage. "!" Doctor threw a grenade towards the yers, blowing them up, before then starting to st them with magic. "Guards! To me!" C shouted the guard that was charging towards the Doctor alongside the other guards. "." (Shit. I can''t fire gatling gun yet.) C though Phantasia. "Go." Suddenly, the Princess split head wolf chimera burseted out of the destroyed shop, towards the guards and quickly pounded at one of the guards, pinning him against the ground before then opening its head into four different parts and starting try and tear off the guard head. The other guards tried to rush towards the man to save him, but Phantasia threw a grenade at them that blew them up and allowed the chimera to finish off the guard. "Shit! Don''t wait! Just get him!" C shouted the yer that run past the guards. The yer leaped into the air and tried to sh Doctor with his sword like some sort of hero, but Phantasia used skill [Jab] before then impaling the yer with his de fingers. "Eh?" Phantasia quickly removed the yer from his ws before then swinging them and cutting the man head off. However, as soon as the man head was cut off, Phantasia ended up getting hit several times with arrows and magic spells. "Keep your distance! Those ws of his are way too dangerous!" C shouted the archer yer. yers were now keeping their distance, trying not get to close to the Doctor and forcing him to put up his guard while trying to somewhat deal with the attacks. "Princess!" - shouted Phantasia. The split head wolf chimera head its mastermand and rushed towards the yers, attacking them and forcing them to stop their barrage of attacks for moment and focus on the chimera. However as soon as they did that, Phantasia instantly threw a grenade to the yers that were furthers away from the chimera and blew them up with explosion. (Tch.) (I only have few grenades left. Not good.) (I''m using way more resources than I though and chimeras are almost wiped out!) C though the doctor. "[Summon: Skeleton Servant]!" Phantasia began summoning undead monsters to his side, before then began turning some of the guards corpse into zombies and skeletons. "?!" "He can use necromancy?!" C said the confused guard. "." (I literally am using [Necromancer] and [High Necromancer] ss attack skills. How the hell you did not realized I''m a necromancer?!) C though confused Phantasia. "Go." Phantasia send out his monsters to confront the city defenders, while he himself quickly took out a potion and drank it. "Shit!" "First those weird monsters and now undeads?!" C said the annoyed yer. "What next? A- " (Wait. The guards said he released some sort of gas before.) "?!" "EVERBODY!" C shouted a yer suddenly. "DON''T STICK TOGETHER!" "That bastard is a real Doctor!" "And he had spread the gue around!" "If you stick together, you will get infected!" "?!" "Wait, what? What the hell are you talking about?!" C asked confused yer. "!" "WAIT! HE IS RIGHT!" "The Doctor was using those weird mix monsters and he was wearing the gue doctor mask!" C said the female orc yer. "But he was also using a gues besides those two things!" "." (Tch.) (They realized that.) C though Phantasia. (Well, I had already distracted them long enough and stuff for them not to realize that.) (Still, there are probably few healers and this ce is filled with all sort of crap, like weapons, armors AND POTIONS!)N?v(el)B\\jnn (So it''s not like the gue will deal with this ce.) (Well, the only reason I ran around this ce and made all that chaos was for the gue to spread. Honestly, I''m surprised they have not realized that bit earlier, considering I LITERLY DID THE SAME THING IN MIN CITY WITH ME RUNNING AROUND SO THE PLAUGE CAN SPRED.) (Am I really not that popr? But some of those guys know about "Doctor" and the weird monsters and gues. Hm. Oh well, fuck it.) yers and the guards were much easier dealing with the undeads than expected and had already killed few of them. To add even more problems, themotion ended up drawing a lot of people, to be more specific a lot "LOT". Reason why so many people were getting here? The chimera distraction was almost wiped out with only very few chimeras left. "." "Nope." C said Doctor. Doctor began running away from big group of people that were dealing with the "Princess" chimera as well as newly created undeads. Some of the people tried to gave stop him by blocking his path, but they were quickly either shed to pieces with ws or get knocked away. "!" "He is desperate! Don''t let him go away!" C shouted a yer. This time, there was not enough time to escape as the yers were right behind the Doctor. This time there was no escape for the Doctor as the yers were straight up breathing on his neck. However, for some reason Phantasia stopped suddenly running and turned around. The location? It was just another part of the city. It wasn''t closed off part or anything like that, but instead a wide two way road. yers and the guards then catched up to the guard, but then the Doctor turned around and shouted. "HEY FUCKERS!" C shouted Doctor suddenly after finishing drinking his potion. Explore more adventures at empire "?" C the worried people looked towards the Doctor. "Do you know most of well-made boss enemies have?" "Obviously its something strong, but also difficult to beat." "But there is one of most quietmon gimmick that many bosses share." Phantasia suddenly began twitching and bending weirdly, catching the yers and guards off guard. Some of the people tried to get closer, but then Phantasia arms began acting weirdly. However, suddenly Phantasia stopped twitching and bending and just stood straight and looked towards the crowd of people. And exactly momentter, his mask opened, revealing something weird. That mask. It was like part of its head. "Every. Remembered boss. Have almost one thing inmon." "They have more than one phase." Phantasia eyes began glowing with weird green light like smoke before momentster his body began expanding. His torso grew and also became longer. His legs had also grew bigger, but that wasn''t the main point, their shape changed and became more animalistic with even ws now sticking out of it. His spine opened up, revealing multiple different source of the weird light that were hiding inside. As for his arms, they changedpletely They split up. The gatling guns and the ws ended up splitting up, with gatling arms going below his should while the giant w arms changed shape and ending up bing longer des. As for the Doctor head? His mask, or more specific his head changed as well. The beak of the mask opened up as green puff of smoke escaped it as it opens, revealing a set of metallic des teeth''s insides. Phantasia body hadpletely changed. Before, you could tell he was supposed to be a humanoid creature. But now? He is a straight up monster that did not looked human at all. "." "Okay." "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!" C shouted the confused and shocked yer. The people at the scenes werepletely stunned and scared after seeing the Doctor suddenly abandon his humanoid appearance and straight up turning into a monster. However, the most shocked of all were the yers. "Hey! What the fuck is going on?!" "Was that a yable race or something?" "No! If that was a thing everybody would have known about it!" "That isn''t the main question you idiots! Just look at this body! It''s. Mechanical?" The yers werepletely bewildered and not knowing what to do. They knew that the Doctor was a yer and wasn''t some NPC. But again, "What the hell is he?!". This question was asked by everybody present. His appearance was that of an inhuman monster, but there was no race among the avable races that the yers could pick that would look like "THAT". Not only that, but everybody could tell that his body was mechanical. Not an armor and weapons, but everything being part of him. He was a monster "Machine" in the eyes of the people. But he was also the yer. Those two facts shouldn''t be possible and there was no instance of the yers straight up turning into "THAT" thing. The yers were... Confused. First the weird and unknown monsters that looked like mishmash of different things. Then the revtion that the gue had spread around the city. And now this "Thing"? A yer like them turned into mechanical monster? People were already confused and scared by the "Doctor" And unfortunately for them, this transformation main purpose wasn''t to scare them, but to kill them. Chapter 92 - Dawn city and Doctor rampage – part 6. The people were still confused with the bizarre transformation of the "Doctor", but the madman did not cared. His gatling guns began spinning before then firing at closes group of people near him. The barrage of the attacks hit the people and ended up snapping back the yers to reality. The yers began attacking the Doctor once again with range attacks. However, this time Doctor wasn''t trying to dodge and instead began running on all fours towards the yers before then quickly leaping towards them. "[Power Punch]!" Phantasia swinged his w around that was empowered by the body attack skill and quickly shed multiple people with his w before then swiping again and again, dealing massive damage to the crowd of people. Some people tried attacking him at close range, but as soon as they approached, the gatling guns were aimed at them and began firing, killing the unlucky people. "SHIT!" "He suddenly turned himself into some sort of raid boss!? The fuck is going on?!" C said confused yer. "Then threat him like a boss monster!" C shouted another yer. "But how the hell do we get close!? Those ws and those guns are way too problematic!" C shouted the warrior yer that was too scared to get near Doctor. "Then distract him or something! Have tanks block his movement or something!" The yers and the guards began trying to surround Doctor, but he wasn''t some mindless monster and had also heard them straight up talking about their ns out loud. That was quiet stupid. However, its not like the Doctor wasn''t suffering any damage. He was getting hit non stop by the barrage of different attacks, both long range and close range attacks. His metallic body was protecting it like armor, but even that wasn''t enough to not make his HP drop down. However, so were the yers. His bigger body made him much easier target, but after changing his form, his attack range increased and he was now also able to use both gatling and ws at the same time unlike before.N?v(el)B\\jnn Not only that, but even though he became monster, he could still use his [Fighter] skills without problem as well as his magic. yers and guards were getting killed by Phantasia, but so was Doctor as his HP was dropping non stop alongside the damage sustained by his mechanical body. "." "No." C said Doctor. Phantasia suddenly screamed on top of his lungs, releasing a hellish scream that suddenly catched off guard everybody at the scene. The sudden scream confused people, however some people got confided, thinking that the Doctor is dying. The fight continues on with the Doctor and the yers and the guards exchanging blows between themselves, continuing the fight like just moments before. People started to think that weird cry was some sort of cry of desperation. But that wasn''t a scream of pain. It was a call. "?!" "What the shit?!" C shouted a yer from behind. "?" The people turned around and saw the pseudo werewolf chimera alongside some other remaining chimeras arriving at the scene, with some of the chimera being covered in wounds and being at the death door. "?!" "He called for reinforcements?!" C shouted the confused yer that turned around. The reinforced that the Doctor had called were his remaining chimeras, however as stated before, they were heavily wounded and would not reallyst long. However, those chimeras were only called over as distraction. "?!" As soon as the yers near Phantasia were suddenly distracted by the appearance of the chimeras, the Doctor used this opportunity to sh, impale and smashed the yers near him, quickly getting rid off them. And as soon as he killed them, he began using necromancy and began turning guards into the undeads once again, gaining some numbers. "?!" "HEY! STOP HIM!" C shouted the yer who had realized what was happening. "Toote." C replied Doctor. "Go." Once again, the undeads began swarming towards the yers, but this time there was bit more than before. There were two reason why the number of undeads were now much greater. The first reason is obvious, there were just way more guards here. But the second is rted to the chimeras. To control chimera, Phantasia either need [Taming Mastery] or/and [Necromancy Master]. Both of those stats give [Taming Control] and [Undead Control] points that are used to control the monsters. And obviously, since a lot of chimeras have died already means that a lot of his [Undead Control] points to be regained, allowing him to use those restored points to now create an army of the undeads. But those undeads are obviously not very strong, but they are indeed keeping the yers and guards upied, allowing Phantasia to quickly take out potions and pour them inside this bird like mask. (Shit. I''m almost out of potions!) C though panicking Phantasia that looked at his inventory. (Well, I was drinking them non stop and everything, to make sure that my points would be as closes to 100% as possible.) "!?" "HEY! THAT FUCKER IS HEALING!" C shouted a yer that saw Doctor drinking potions. "STOP HIM!" The yers quickly joined forces and managed to overpower the undeads standing in their way before then trying to reach the Doctor. However, even though Phantasia was using both of his hands right now to drink potions like the madman, his gatling gun were still free as they began spinning around and firing the mana shots at the yers, stopping them from getting anywhere near the doctor while also killing some of them. "." Read new chapters at empire *Burb* "Sorry. You failed." C said Phantasia as he looked towards yers that tried to stop him, after finishing drinking potions. "[Bone Barrage]!" Phantasia gatling guns began spinning once again and not only that, but Phantasia had as well manifested a magic circle before then starting to fire from both his gatling gun as well as magic circle, shooting out a barrage of bones and the necrotic mana elemental shots towards the yers. The barrage of shot straight up gun down several people to the death as other people watched in terror. Things suddenly got a turn to the worse. yers knew that the Doctor posses his twin gatling gun, but once he began firing them alongside the magic? Things instantly got way worse. Several people were suddenly killed almost instantly and to add even more problems, the Doctor had enough time to drink potions and somewhat recover. The morals of the people ended up hitting a big hit and do add even more trouble, fear began spreading. "" "I-I don''t want to die!" C shouted the guard that suddenly began running away. "Fuck this! This isn''t fair!" C said the panicking yer. (Is that thing even a yer?!) The fear and panic began spreading among the people. And that fear and chaos ended up making the people having much harder time cooperating with each other. And that was the opportunity that Phantasia was waiting for it and realized it as soon as he saw how people were acting. Phantasia rushed at the people, shed, stabbed and crushed them with his ws over and over again, killing them. Because of how chaotic became their ranks, the people that ended uping face to face with Phantasia were easy targets. However, people did not gave up and still tried to attack him. A group of warriors rushed at him, but he unleashed [Poison Smoke] and ended uppletely surrounding them in the cloud of poison. The yers realized the danger and tried to run away from the smoke, but it was toote as Phantasia leaped into the smoke and began ughtering the warriors insides of it while their screams could be heard outside. The people were straight up scared. The NPCs were no longer seeing the Doctor as a person, but instead as a monster that only seeks to kill and destroy. As for the yers? They maybe able to revive ande back to life, but that did not meant that they are unable to feel fear. And if anything, some of the yers just now realized how scary this world can really be with that kind of fuckersNo. A monsters. In the eyes of some yers, the Doctor wasn''t a yer but a monster. And that monster did not stopped rampaging. A barrage of the poison shots suddenly came out of the poison smoke and flew towards the healers that were helping out injured, hitting both the healers and the injured people. And momentter, three grenades were being thrown in different directions that ended up blowing areas around the poison smoke, hitting and killing several people. But this wasn''t the end as the Doctor jumped out of the poison smoke and began running on all fours towards the healers. "!?" "STOP HIM! HE IS AIMING FOR THE HEALERS!" C shouted the yer. The yers realized the danger and quickly banded together and formed the defensive wall to stop the Doctor from getting towards the healers and the injured yers that were just done finishing off the chimeras. However, Phantasia did not cared and continue running straight towards them like a beast. But then suddenly, Phantasia unleashed skill [Poison Bomb], hitting and blowing up people with ball of explosive poison, before then unleashing his gatling guns on the defenders as he continue running towards them. The yers line of the defense got severely damaged and that allowed Phantasia to use skill [Battle Step] to rush in for short distance and then quickly hit some of the yers, not killing them, but just knocking them out of his way, allowing him to run past the defenders. "!" "NO!" C shouted the yer that let Doctor run past him. "?!" C the healers noticed the Doctor who was running straight towards them. "R-raise barriers! Now!" C shouted the priest yer. Some of the healers deployed their shields and blocked the iing w attacks, making them relief that the barrier did not got broken. "" "[Reckless Attack]." [Ring Brawler] skill. [Reckless Attack] [Effect] [Increase body rted attacks as well as slightly boost defense. Using any other attack type skills will instantly chancel this skill.] Doctor began swiping over and over with his ws at the barrier of the healers before then breaking the barriers finally and instantly making the healers realize, that they are fucked. "NO! NO! WA- " The healers and the injured yers were getting shed and cut to shred with the ws. The yers and the guards tried going and stopping the Doctor, but it was toote as the majority of the healers and the injured yers ended up being killed. "." "COMMON!" C shouted Phantasia suddenly while lifting his arms up. "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" "I''m here going on the rampage, ughtering innocents and everything, but nobody has yet sessfully stopped me yet?!" "Every single one of you are nothing more than disappointment!" "I though there would be one or two guys who would at least give me solid problems, but no!" "." "You know what? Fuck it." "If I were you, I would start running now." "Be if you don''t." "THEN I WILL HUNT DOWN EVERSINGLE ONE OF YOU BASTARDS UNTIL THERE IS NOT A SINGLE PERSON LEFT IN THIS CITY!" Chapter 93 - Dawn city and Doctor rampage – part 7. The stated made just by the Doctor, about him hunting everybody down and destroying this ce. Everybody on the scene, both yers and NPCs understood that he wasn''t kidding at all. The Doctor aim was to really destroy this ce. His action. Him releasing a gue in the city. Him releasing those monsters in the city. And now him transforming into the monster andmitting the genocide. There was no lie and everybody knew that. Not only that, multiple healers that were working diligently were suddenly killed, lowering the chances of beating this "Monster" in their eyes. The fear once again began spreading among everybody. And now, the panic had began taking even deeper roots into everybody. As for the Doctor? He did not cared. He just waited few seconds after making his announcement before then starting going on the rampage again, killing anybody near him. People tried fighting back, but their current form were not the best. They were scared, disorganized and were panicking. Every single one of them were easy targets, allowing Phantasia to kill some of the people without using his gatling guns or skills. "." "No." C said the guard. "?" "!?" "HEY! COME BACK HERE!" C shouted the guard as he saw the other guard running away. "F-fuck this job!" C shouted the guard. "I FUKING FOUGH MONSTERS AND ALL OTHER SHIT! BUT THAT THING IS STRAIGH UP TOO MUCH!" - shouted the guard that did not even turned around and continue running away. "." "Nope! I''m also out of here!" C said the orc yer. "Sorry, but I don''t want to get death penalty!" Some of the yers and guards began running away and that was the stupid decision. Phantasia may have turned himself into the monster, but that doesn''t make him immortal. He was taking damage over and over again and he does not have much consumable items left like grenades or potions. So, what did he did in order to deal with that? Yeb. The answer was FEAR. He went on that rampage, killed the people mercilessly and straight up acted like big scary monster, all in order to spread the fear. And that FEAR have taken effect on the people, confusing them and scaring them, resulting in people either starting to run away or attackingpletely recklessly towards Phantasia. "Fuck!" "You idiots! Hold the fuking line! We need to fuking regroup and attack him with range attacks again!" C shouted the yer. "Fuck you! He is ripping people apart with those giant ws of his!" C replied the goblin yer. Explore more stories at empire "If you want to stall him, do it yourself! I''m not going anywhere near that fucker!" "Tch!" (Dammit!) C though the mage yer. (We need to hit him with barrage of long range attacks in order to deal with that fucker and make sure he won''t be able to protect himself or dodge it!)N?v(el)B\\jnn (But he is moving way too much and people are not blocking his movement at all!) "Just fire what ever you can at him!" "There is no way this guy is Immortal!" The mages and the archers began firing their attacks towards the Doctor, without carrying one bit if they hit other yers that were fighting him. The attacks hit the Doctor over and over, but it had also resulted in him looking towards the long range attacks. "!" "Keep shooting! Don''t stop!" (Shit!) C though Phantasia while using his ws as the shield as well as using other yers as cover. (They straight up gave up on everything and only want to kill me at all cost.) "!" Phantasia saw a ball of fireing his way and quickly rolled to the side, managing to dodge the attack before it could hit him. After dodging the attack, he quickly got up and began running on all fours once again, this time running away from the yers. "!?" "Quick! That fucker is trying to recover again! Don''t let him or we will never kill that bastard!" C shouted the mage yer. "Tch!" (That guy So, there was some leader type of guys among the yers.) C though Doctor while running away as projectiles were still flying towards him. Phantasia quickly entered the alley way, making the yers lose the sight of him. "Chase him! We can''t let him recover!" The yers gave chase after the Doctor and began entering the alleyway, but as soon as the yers took got to the first corner, they ended up blowing up. (Shit.) (I only have 1 grenade left. But that won''t be enough for anything.) C though Phantasia. (No.) (Don''t panic yet.) (I had already killed a lot of guards and yers and there is honestly not that many left.) (I need to quickly get away, use my remaining potions and then go for the kill!) Doctor managed to gain some distance using explosives and managed to run away from the yers. (. They don''t have time, even with range attacks.) (I should stop and use my remaining-) However, as soon as Phantasia let his guard down, from the store right next to him, somebody burseted out of the building with a giant hammer. "?!" Phantasia saw the hammering, but was unable to dodge as the giant hammer hit him right in the chest and send him flying, hitting the wall of the building. "?!" (I was send flying?!) C though confused Phantasia. "Well, well, well." C said the deep voice. "So, you are the bastard that had killed my clients, huh?" "!" Phantasia looked towards the attacker and saw a green skinned orc with eye missing and a giant hammer. (Shit?!) (I thought I would run into him sooner orter, but now wasn''t the best timing!) "Ogun." C said Doctor while getting up. "?" "Oh? You know about me?" C asked the orc. Ogun. He is an old orc mercenary that has his own mercenarypany working in the Dawn city and has contracts with several merchants and workshops, where he and his mercenaries are hired for protection, whenever somebody tries to dig out anything of importance, like high rarity ores from the mountains that are infested with monsters. When I was still being teached by the Evilin, I was using my free time to either experiment on my body in secret OR gather informations. One of the most important bits of informations I had gathered was about the strongest people in this city. And the two strongest bastards in here is the Ogun, the owner of the mercenarypany. And the other strongest person here is a guy in charge of the guards here, young dark elf Rnd. (I knew and I nned to fight both of themter on or something before then killing them.) (But how the hell did he knew where I was?! He straight up lied an ambush for me, as if he knew I was in-) "!" (Oh my fuking god, I''m stupid.) (People that had ran away could have told him.) (But that fucker!) (He has some strength!) (He hit me and straight up made me fly towards the wall!) (Not only that, but that hit hurt quite a bit!) (Bastard maybe old, but he can pack a fuking punch!) (But what do I do now?) (Should I fight him?) (The yers are looking for me in order to stop me from recovering, knowing the fact that if I recover, they will be 100% screwed.) (Not only that, I''m still quite injured. And that bastard isn''t scared at all and if anything, he is definitely strong.) (I can''t fight him now.) (The current situation puts me in way too much disadvantage.) (I will have to-) "There you are Ogun." C said the loud voice. "!" (Oh fuck. I know this voice.) Phantasia looked to his right and saw an armored young dark elf approaching him and the orc. (OH, YOU GOT TO BE FUKING KIDDING ME!) [Guards capitan in charge of Dawn city C Rnd] "Hey. What took you so long?" C said the orc in mocking tone. "Shut up." C said the dark elf while walking towards the orc. "I had to deal with some bunny like chimera on my way." "!" (He have dealt with Mianrool?!) C though Phantasia. "." C the dark elf stopped walking and looked towards the Doctor. "So. Is that "Thing", the Doctor?" C asked the elf. "Yea. ording to those cowardly adventures, they said that he transformed into some sort of monster." C replied the orc. "He does not look remotely close to those other weird monsters and if anything, he looks like some sort of machine." "So, there is no mistaking it, he is the guy that is responsible for evert thing." "." "Then let''s kill him already." C said the dark elf while unsheathing his sword. "!" (SHIT!) C though panicking Phantasia. (This is the worst case scenario I was trying to avoid by spreading the chaos and confusion around!) (I cannot take yers and those two together at the same time, while also being injured like that!) (I need to run away from here, NOW!) (I NEED TO GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THEM AND THEN RECOVER!) (But if I don''t do it, then I will 100% die.) (But how the hell I will get away from them in this situation?!) Chapter 94 - Dawn city and Doctor rampage – part 8. [Current situation.] [Phantasia who was going on the rampage had to make a temporarily escape in order to quickly recover and then go back and finish the remaining yers standing in his way.] [However, he ended up being ambushed by the orc mercenary Ogun before then the guard capitan Rndo joined in as well.] "" C Phantasia looked at both man, thinking of the way to get away from them, while also looking for either of the two men making their first move. "." "Heh." The first one to make the move was the mercenary Ogun who quickly rushed towards Phantasia with his hammer in hand. However, this resulted in Phantasia aiming with his mini guns to the orc, but- "?!" (OH SHIT!) (They are still overheated!) C though Phantasia, realizing he cannot use his mini guns yet. The man rushed towards Phantasia and swinged his hammer at him, forcing Phantasia to quickly raise his guard up using his arms to block the attack. "?!" (Shit! Even when blocking, it still hits hard!) Phantasia prepared to strike the orc with his w, but then the dark elf guard capitan began rushing towards him, forcing Phantasia to instead of attacking the orc, try and swipe the dark elf with his ws, but the dark elf quickly backed away, dodging the w and giving the orc an opening to quickly retract his hammer before then trying to swing it again at Phantasia. "!" "[Rush Hit]!" Phantasia rushed towards the elf, dodging the orc attack, before then trying to the dark elf with his ws. [Pit Fighter] Skill. [Rush Hit] Your next journey awaits at empire [Launch forward and increase the power of your next body rted attack.] The dark elf raised its sword and blocked the Phantasia ws, but ended up being somewhat pushed back, however not suffering any big injuries. "Where are you going?!" C shouted the orc as he rushed towards Phantasia. "!" (Shit!) (Minigun isn''t ready yet!) Phantasia quickly turned around and fired [Acid de] at the orc, catching the orc off guard and forcing him to guard himself. However, in that instance, the dark elf rushed in and shed Phantasia right in his left shoulder with his de. "?!" Phantasia swinged his fist around, but not managing to hit the dark elf who quickly leaped away, dodging the attack. (Shit!) (This will be annoying!) (One can hit hard, while the other one is nimble fucker!) (Both are extremely annoying!) "He needs to be somewhere near here!" C shouted the voice from the alleyway. "?!" (Oh god dammit! yers are catching up!) "[Summon: Poison Ches Pawn]! [Summon: Necro Ches Pawn]!" Phantasia manifested a magic circle, before then summoning a goat legged axe wielding monster with mosquito head alongside the bone made humanoid creature with short sword and small shield. In total, he summoned over 4 of those creatures and their size was around 1.4 meter tall. "Go!" Phantasia send both of his monsters towards orc, but one of the monsters were quickly smashed beneath the orc hammer. While the orc was focused on the summoned monsters, Phantasia quickly aimed with his hands towards the dark elf and then firing an [Acid Spray] towards the dark elf, forcing the dark elf to quickly move away in order not to get hit. However as soon as the dark elf moved away to dodge the spray attack, Phantasia put both of his arms on the ground before then running on all fours, away from the two. "?!" "Hey!" C shouted the dark elf as he began running after running away Phantasia. The yers found the orc killing the Phantasia monsters, while the Doctor alongside the guard capitan Rndo were now moving away from them all. (.) (God dammit.) (That guy will catch me at this rate!) "There won''t be any escape for you!" C shouted the dark elf while running after the Doctor. The elf was slowly catching to the Doctor and it was just matter of time before he gets to him. However right before he could do it, a round like object suddenly appeared in front of the dark elf, rming him and making him put his guard up before momentster the object exploded, hitting and sending dark elf and making him stumble on the ground. Phantasia had a perfect opportunity to attack, but he didn''t do that and instead continue running away. (Shit! That was myst grenade!) (Lets better hope it was at least worth it or something!) "!" C Phantasia noticed something. "Shit!" C said the dark elf. "A bomb?! He is throwing bombs?!" "." "Fuck. He used the bomb to stop me, so he could run away?" (Should I wait for Ogun?) () (No.) (This bastard is panicking.) (I need to catch him now!) The dark elf recovered and began in the direction where he saw Phantasia going before the explosion happened. However, while giving the chase after the madman, the dark elf was suddenly blocked by skeletons and undeads that were once just civilians. "!" "This bastard!" C said angry dark elf. (He fuking turned his victims into undeads!) (He probably wants them to block me...Shit! I cannot see way past them! There is straight up way too many undeads!) "You bastard! I will kill you! Doctor!" C shouted the furious dark elf that rushed at the undeads and began putting them to rest. While the dark elf guard capitan was now dealing with the undead, the Doctor had made his escape and quickly inside one of the ruined buildings that had been destroyed by chimeras and after finding a perfect hiding spot, he began taking out his potions and drinking them. "." "Fuck me." C said Phantasia while holding the empty bottle. (I prepared so many potions and grenades, but now I''m running empty!) (I had used every single explosive grenades I had and I''m running out of potions I won''t be able to do any big recovery.) (But fuck me!) (I know these two would be problematic, but having to encounter both of them at the same time was extremely shitty!) (That orc with that hammer can hit hard, while that guard capitan is fast as fuck.) (There are also those remaining yers.) (Unlike the other yers who had lost their will to fight, they are still trying and I need to get rid of them.) (There are 3 opponents I need to deal with.) (Orc mercenary.) (Guard capitan dark elf.) (And the remaining yers.) C though Phantasia while taking out food from his inventory and starting to eat it in order to activate his zombie race special trait. (Honestly, I maybe an monster, but there is an fact that I had to invested a LOT of points into [Mana], [Taming Mastery] and [Necromancy Mastery].) (There is also the fact that this body isn''t something almighty or something, it has ws, if anything, it has multiple ws.) (The monster form does gives me an power up in terms of offensive power of my ws and gatling, but that it''s that.) (This form have some problems, a problems I couldn''t deal with right now since Ick more specific and way better materials as well as the fact that the cyborg form also heavily relies on my current stats.) (I maybe an fuking monster looking person right now, but it''s not like unkible!) (And like said before, this form isn''t something like an "Overpower transformation" bullshit, its just some power up. Not overpowered one, but a simple one, despise how much appearance had changed. And if anything, its quiet bad power up.) (Honestly, I may as well scrap this entire form after this entire thing is over and try to recreate it. But first I would need some better materials and everything.) (The ws are perfect But those fuking gatling guns. They deal somewhat decent damage, but they are midrange weapon, not only that, but they overheat way too easily and they would have been way worse if it wasn''t for the fact that they were part of my body..No. I shouldn''t have went with that whole transformation thing.) (I needed to add several restriction and downsides to this form to even use it, like MP use of very small amount of MP every time I make some big moves, small amount MP used doesn''t sounds too bad, but the problem is when I''m moving so much and using my ws and gatling guns nonstop!) (Or like how the transformation isn''t instant and need few seconds to transform.) (The whole transformation thing was mistake!) (I need better materials and even higher agility and strength stat!) "." "FuckThe transformation does it job somewhat, so you shouldn''tin too much and you can think about the body modification and all bullshitter, for now focus on what is going on right now." (The city, its fucked.) (The gue has infected this ce and a lot of civilians had died, including yers and the guards.) (Once the remaining defenders are dealt with, this city is finished.)N?v(el)B\\jnn (But how the hell do I do it?) "." (The best approach would be to deal with the yers. They are the weakest, but they have numbers and can hit together hard.) (Not only that, but if they would work together with those two NPCs, they can work as rms for them, rming them and everything, and if I end up encountering both of those guys again at the same time, they won''t let me escape and I maybe fucked somewhat.) (But what if they are already working with those two? The yers WERE chasing after me.) (They could have regrouped with the two and are now searching for me.) (And there are still people in the city. Some are hiding, while some are running away.) (Those people could maybe discover me without knowing and tell them where I''m, just how those two had managed to find me that way.) (Should I try to sneak around and find the situation?) (But that body is quite big. They would have easier time noticing me. But then again, there is a time needed to transform and if they were to discover me while I''m in my human form, they would get some upper hand.) (Dammit!) (Things were all going WAY to smoothly and now I have all the problems alling together in order to beat up my ass!) "Perfect...Just. FUKING PERFECT!" Chapter 95 - Dawn city and Doctor rampage – part 9. "Hey! Rndo!" C shouted the orc mercenary as he ran towards the dark elf. "Hm?" C said Rndo surrounded by undead corpse. "!" "Yesh." C said orc as he finally got near the dark elf and stopped in ce. "What the hell happened here?" "Tch." "That bastard blew me up with explosion before then using corpse of the civilians to straight uppletely block the road." C said annoyed dark elf. "That bastard by the look of things is somewhat good when ites to necromancy and I hate to admit it." "" "So You- " "Yea! I fuking lost him!" "Dammit!" C said the dark elf as he punched the wall of the nearby building. "." "I met up with the adventures that guy was fighting." C said the orc. "They said that he was injured and was trying to run away to quickly recover." "!" "So that is why that bastard didn''t tried attacking me back then! Shit." C said the dark elf. "But isn''t this good news?" C asked the orc. "This guy is clearly worn out and isn''t some unbeatable monster." "Even if he recovers, he had just proven the fact that he can be killed and hurt." "Yours and mine attacks did some damage to that mechanical freak." "!" "Wait, you are right!" C said the dark elf. "But what if he aims to run away from the city? We don''t even know where he is or anything like that." "True. But ording to those adventures, that guy stated that he ns to murder everybody in here as well as destroy this city." C said the orc. "He won''t run away." "We may have a lot of soldiers, guards and mercenaries, but that guy had lost all of those bizarre monsters AND we have those annoying important adventures that can return to life after a lot of time had passed." "Not only that, but he had infected the city with that whole gue thing of his, but our healers are somewhat dealing with it." "I don''t know how long it will take to deal with that gue, but the more that guy wait, the weaker the gue hold over the city will be." "This guy won''t run away." "He will definitely try to destroy this ce." "And he is definitely still in here." ". You sound confined." -said the dark elf. "Well, that is what I would do in his situation." C replied the old orc. Discover more content at empire "But where the fuck we will find him?" C asked the dark elf. "So many people had died or had to run away from the city." "Not only that, but a majority of the guards are either dead or terrified." *Sigh* "What about yourpany? The mercenaries?" "Not good either." C replied the orc. "They are currently busy with keeping the civilians and my clients families safe as well as some of my still living clients." "So yea, there is only few of my guys in the city." "..." "Great. Fuking! Great!" C said the dark elf. "." "!" "Wait, what about the adventures? How many are left?" "There are few left. And there are few still in the city scattered around." C said orc mercenary. "But I don''t know if we can use them. The ones that pointed towards the direction where that Doctor was fighting before were running away with tail between tier legs." "But. Maybe we can use them as bait." "?!" "Are you- " "Hey, do you have any other ideas?" "We don''t know where that bastard is." "So, our best approach would be to use those adventures to flush him out and then get a jump on him." "And let me remind you this." "They can revive." "I know sending people to their obvious death is straight up fucked up, but those bastards cane back to life!" "I don''t care how many of "Them" die, but OUR people are the ones that really need protection." "So shut up and listen up." "I told those adventures to gather up and rally the other adventures, saying that we should team up and everything." "I showed off my strength and they listen, they are still skeptical, but that guy leading them understood that we better had worked together." "So, we will use those gathered adventures to walk around the city and be our bait, while we ourselves will be watching from the hidden spot and as soon as that guys appears, we will get a drop on him." "We already knows that uses explosives and the necromancy, and we will be ready for that, so he wouldn''t be able to escape again." "I know you don''t like this n." "But if you want to save innocent fuking people, then shut the fuck up and just fuking fallow my FUKING PLAN!" "Got it?" ".."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Tch." "Fine." C said dark elf who sounded defeated. "Good." "Then lets quickly meet up with those adventures and just tell them a thing that they will be our bait, got it?!" "Fuck. I get it, I get it. You fuking bastard." C whispered dark elf to himself. The orc mercenary alongside dark elf capitan began quickly running towards the location where the adventures had supposals gathered up. However, when the two men arrive at the location there was nothing more than corpse. "." "Hey. Where are those adventures?!" C asked the dark elf. "They. They are dead. Shit." C said the orc. All the yers that were fighting Phantasia before, we now dead, including the mage yer who was leading yers before. And the two men had saw all of their corpse slowly disappearing bit by bit into nothingness. "B-but where the fuck is that guy?! Is he still around here or something?!" C said the panicking orc while looking around. "There is no fuking way he could have found them immediately, kill them and then disappear!" "That fucker!" "He is definitely still somewhere!" The orc ran towards the scene of the crime, but while running, he ended up running right next to the dark alley way before momentster a pair of giant finger ws emerged from the dark. "!" "LEFT!" C shouted the dark elf. "?!" C the orc looked to the left and saw the two sets of wsing his way. The orc swinged his hammer around, knocking away one of the ws, but not stopping the second w at it came towards it and straight up stabbed him in the side. After stabbing the orc in the side, the Doctor straight up stepped out of the shadows and open his beak mouth that had de teethes sticking out. The orc could only watch as the mouth of that mechanical monster wasing towards his face, but before his head could have been bitte, the dark elf rushed in and shed Doctor right in the face, moving away his head and stopping his bite. "!" Orc quickly swinged the hammer with his one arm, hitting the doctor in his side. "Fuck! Let got of me!" C said the orc as he tries to remove himself from the Doctor monster like ws. The dark elf rushed in for attack once again, but this time the attack was blocked by Phantasia free w hand. "!" The orc saw that as an opportunity and tried to strike again with his hammer, but then he saw the two miniguns moving and then aiming at him, making the orc panic before momentster both of the miniguns began firing at point nk range at the orc, making him scream in pain. "!" "NO!" C shouted the dark elf as he prepared to strike again. "[Over Cut sh]!" C dark elf activated his skill. "[Guard Up]!" Phantasia activated his defense skill belong to [Pit Fighter] ss, enchanting his arms and using his w arm to defend himself from the dark elf attack, but feeling the impact from the dark elf attack as its dig into the Doctor metallic arm. While all of that was happening, the orc was still getting shot at, making both of the gatling guns overheat a bit. However, the orc did not gave up and swinged again with his hammer, but Phantasia rushed in, closing the distance between him and orc as well as causing his ws to dig deeper into the orc body, causing the hammer attack to miss as well. After closing the distance, Phantasia quickly opened his mouth once again and quickly bit into the orc head as he continues screaming in agony. The dark elf tried stopping him by attacking the Doctor and hitting him again and again, but the Doctor did not cared at all. Phantasia was fully focuses on murdering the orc. And before long, the orc body went numb, straight up making the orc stop lifting his hammer and having it hit the ground while still holding onto it. Phantasia stopped his gatling guns and opened his mouth before then retracting his ws, making the orc body fall on the ground. The dark elf still tried attacking the Doctor, but after retracting his w from the orc body, he was able to swing his metallic arm around and sessfully counter the dark elf sword attack before then trying to sh the dark elf with his second w, but failing as the dark elf quickly backed away, dodging the attack. "!" "Ogun!" C shouted the dark elf. ''Don''t worry." "This guy is dead, so you don''t need to scream." C said Phantasia as he turned around towards the shocked dark elf. "You know?" "I was fuking scared." "I was scared that I would lose." "But then it fuking hit me." "Why the fuck I''m thinking too much? You know that I''m schemer and everything and I was showing it off nonstop." "And the more time passes, the more fucked I will be." "So I decided to stop thinking somewhat and actpletely recklessly." "And hey!" "Hehehe. IT WORKED?! DIDN''T IT?!" Cughed Phantasia, mocking the dark elf. "!" "You bastard!" C shouted the dark elf. "Ah..." "But you know what? That was very mean of you, shouting and warning that guy when I was about give him quick death." "All you did was made him suffer." (Well, I say that, but that n did consisted of me taking a huge punishment and everything. And that guy straight up dig into my w arm with that sword of his.) C though Doctor. (However, that stupid reckless n worked, since it would have been thest thing they would expect from the schemer.) (The reckless n that nobody smart would take, since it seems way too risky.) (A stupid n that could be easily though that it would have not happened.) (And those bastard had fallen for it.) (But honestly speaking.) (I mean, I did came up with the n to screw everything and go wild, but I was quiet scared as well, so it''s not like I was overconfident.) (There was a good chance that those two would have already regrouped with the yers before I would have found them.) (But that gamble was worth by the look of things.) (But then again, I ended up getting hit by both of them right now as well as by yers when I was killing them before they got here. Since I all cared about was killing them as fast as possible, without carrying if I got hit or not. And obviously as expected, I did got few times by them. With some of them hitting somewhat hard.) (But, it was all worth it.) (I ended up suffering some damage, but the yers and one of the most dangerous people in the city are now dead!) (However now this guy is left and fighting him head on and in my current condition will be bit challenging.) (But this is thest challenge.) (Once this guy "." "You are dead." C said angry dark elf. "YOU HEAR ME?! YOU ARE FUKING DEAD!" "Thene at me you fucker!" C shouted Doctor. "You already failed your people!" "Your city!" "Yourpanions!" "And now Ogun as you failed to save him from me!" "You are nothing more than a trash and I will make sure you will get turn into literally trash!" "Come at me you fucker and die already a pathetic death you deserve!" Chapter 96 - Dawn city and Doctor rampage – part 10. (That reckless tactic I used did it job.) C though Doctor. (However, that n resulted me taking some massive damage.) (I can''t fight reckless anymore, or I will die for real now.) (I managed to deal with the hard hitting orc mercenary, but it did cost me to sustain some annoying wounds.) (And there is also the fact that this guy is also strong.) (He is quite fast and can also hit somewhat hard. He even managed to dig his de into my metallic arm with that attack of his, even when I used defense skill.) (Not only that, he recognizes the danger and knows when to back off in order not to get hit too badly.) (I somewhat overheated the gatling guns just now with that non stop close range barrage of mine, so I can either shot a bit now, or let it rest so I can shoot bit more.) (But there is also the problem with their durability.) (I was overheating them way too much, too many times. If that guy attacks them, they maybe will break and goodbye miniguns.) The dark elf did not wanted the Doctor to make any more and quickly rushed at him, rming the Doctor and forcing him to use his right w arm to block the attack, before then trying to use his left arm to attack the dark elf, forcing him to quickly retreat. After backing away, Phantasia fired [Poison Ball] towards the dark elf, forcing him to quickly dodge again. However, Phantasia did not gave up and began firing a barrage of [Poison Shots] towards the dark elf, forcing the dark elf to either dodge or block the attacks with his swords, as he ran towards the Doctor. The dark elf quickly jumped to the wall of the building, before then bouncing off of it and heading towards the Doctor, quickly getting to him and shing him in the arm as he barely managed to block the dark elf attack. After attacking the Doctor, the dark elfnded on the ground and got behind the Doctor. The dark elf prepared to strike, but then the Doctor put both of his hands on the ground andunched himself backwards as the dark elf was trying to strike. The metallic back of the Doctor hit the dark elf body, knocking him and making him lose his bnce, before then falling on his back. "!" The dark elf tried to get up, be he then saw the giant metallic wing towards his leg. The dark elf managed to quickly move his leg out of the way, but as soon as the dark elf tried to get up again, the second arm grabbed his leg. "?!" Phantasia prepared to strike with his other w, but the dark elf swinged his sword, unleashing skill [Flying Sword sh] that hit Phantasia right in his right eye. "Fuck?!" C said Phantasia as he was catched off guard. For moment Phantasia grip lose and the dark elf instantly noticed that and tried to get away, but Phantasia quickly realized that and grabbed the dark elf leg again as soon as he removed his hand from his hand, thinking his grip even more to the point the de fingers dig into the dark elf leg and make him scream in pain. "Die." C said Doctor as he got ready to strike with his other arm once again. This time, the dark elf knew he couldn''t defend himself, but as soon as he was about to strike, the Doctor was suddenly send flying onto the building, crashing into it. "?!" Doctor quickly got up, only to see the mortally wounded orc mercenary barely standing on his legs while holding his hammer. "?!" "You?! How?!" C said shocked Doctor. "Heh. You have no idea what sort of beasts and monsters I encounter in my long life." C said orc mercenary while cracking up the smile. "." The dark elf in panic quickly got up and quickly looked at the orc condition with a look of disbelief and confusion before then turning towards the Doctor.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "." (Shit.) (I though for sure that would have killed him.) (I was too busy to even look at messenges and not have realized that I didn''t killed him.) (But, it''s not that bad.) (His body is in pathetic state and he is at the death doors right now.) (Killing him should be easy... SHOULD HAVE BEEN.) (But that guy straight up saved that dark elf in thest moment when I was about to maul him to death.) (Should I aim for the orc and try to finish him off?) (But then, that dark elf would use that opportunity to attack and maybe would have saved him again.) (However, I cannot obviously ignore the orc mercenary since he is also a big threat to me.) C though Phantasia while taking something out from his inventory. "[Acid de]!"
