Chapter 5: Chapter 5

Moving to the quest location I use observe. The last quest was hard so why wouldn't this one be difficult as well?

Success!

Ancient Demon Tree- Was once a gifted treant. Corruption from the war has led to this demonic state. Hp-5000

Defense-High Magical Defense. Abilities-Poison cloud- emits a cloud around itself that poisons the target, dealing XX damage over 10 seconds. Lash-. Controls vines to whip or constrict target. Minions- will sprout elite level 7 saprolings with a weakness to fire. Leech- both the saprolings and the tree have the ability to suck the life force from their target, transferring it to demon tree.

I stayed in human form and quickly approached it. Once within range it's forehead glowed green for a millisecond. This prompted its lash ability, causing vines near me to lash out.

With my forward momentum, I decided to test the limits of my body, and did a casual front flip, easily dodging the lash. Lash sends more vines into the air above but I easily roll out of the way. Still continuing forward I use my momentum to spring into an uppercut with my staff aimed at the bottom of his jawline.

Critical!

200 🗡️

I saw the damage numbers pop up, and yet the monsters health didn't go down. So where did the damage go.?

The trees fore-head continues to emit a green light as it uses its poison cloud. Sensing the danger I shift into my snake form, granting me immunity to poison attacks. Coiling around the base of it's "neck" I constrict with all my might.

Looking at the combat logs I see that my damage went to a gemstone-800/1000hp.

I didn't see a gemstone but with the location of the green flash I assumed that it was in the forehead.

My snake form is about 12ft long and 3-inch n diameter. Like a python ,size wise.

Ding!

Target has failed strength check, stunned for two seconds.

Wasting no time I attacked.

Quick strike- Critical!

400 🗡️ 400/1000hp

Biting at its forehead with my strong jaws I could feel my mouth close around something hard. Before I realized what was happening the snakes instincts kicked in and I swallowed the object.

A series of notification windows pop up.

Ding!

Ding!

As soon as I ingested the stone I lost control of my body. The corrupted stone had taken over. Pain...intense pain assaulted me...

My body began to shift, contort, stretch and bulge. I was turning into a monster of nightmares, made of fleshly parts that made no sense. I could no longer see, and moments later my consciousness faded to darkness.

*****

I awoke with a start as a series of notifications rang out in my ears.

What happened...

How did I black out in a game?

Ding!

Your Corrupted Status has been purified!

Ding!

You are now marked by the moon goddess.

Ding!

You are now one of the moon goddesses chosen warriors! (1/10)

Suddenly the memory of what had just happened came rushing back to me. The horror of what I was becoming scared the mess out of me.

In a panic I reached down and felt my body. I sighed in relief, thankful that I was back to normal. Sitting up, I looked around.

I was now in the middle of a large magic circle inscribed into a circular stone, in the center of one of those hollowed out ancient trees I had seen earlier. There was one section where the magic circle was broken, stopping its power. Laying atop this section was the Treant that I had removed the corrupted stone from...

"Thank you...for...saving...me...", the Treant gasped with difficulty.

"No, it seems you have saved me...what happened?" I responded.

"I..am named Loriel...I was once the guardian of this forest...Marvin...his true form is that of a powerful demon...you cannot trust him...he used a corrupted dragon stone to trap me...in my own body...forcing me to destroy all those he thought had potential...as he hid among my brethren!! You removed the Dragon stone... and took the corruption upon yourself...I brought you here...this circle helped to purify you...but Marvin replaced the Mana stone with a fake...I didn't realize until it was to late...the circle drew mana from me instead...in my weakened state...it was to much...I...." The treant's voice abruptly stopped.


Chapter 6: Chapter 6

********

Loriel was dying and it was my fault. I got up from the circle and approached the Treant. I wanted to do something to help, so I cast healing breeze on her. Sadly, even the hidden effect did nothing.

Suddenly a bright light shone through the giant tree from the moon above. A shining, iridescent, beautiful woman floated from the sky. Her pale skin glowed with the color of moonlight. Her beauty entranced me, the moment I saw her.

I remembered the notification I had just gotten, The mark of the moon goddess....

Time seemed to stop as the Moon Goddess casually hovered above the ground before me. Her voice was indescribably enticing as she spoke "I have been watching you Myth. You interest me, so I have chosen you to be my first warrior. The demons have grown in number and power, so I can no longer ignore them. It is time for me to take action. For that, you must grow strong. To help guarantee this, I have chosen my second warrior, Miss InfiniteBloom to join you, since her contract requires her to protect you. " The girl from earlier was suddenly right beside me. She could have been there the whole time though and I wouldn't have noticed with the goddess before me.

The Moon Goddess continued talking, " You have absorbed an Ancient Green Dragon Stone, which is a very unusual problem. The stone has now fully bonded with you and cannot be removed. The Nature dragon that was once my favorite creation is now fully combined with your soul. You are now one, and all of your shifted forms will be stronger. Your magic will also become stronger. The Green Dragon has many unique abilities and talents. This is why you are so important. You alone have the power to purify the magic circles and cleanse the corruption. A power that has been lost for centuries has finally returned to the light."

The goddess turned to bloom and waved her hand. Moonlight bathed her from above and Bloom began to glow.

"InfiniteBloom, I have been watching you as well. You will help this man on his quest to purify the demon's corrupt invasion. You are blessed with new powers, use them wisely and protect him well. " The goddess said as she turned to face the Treant. "Loriel has spent her life to save you and now you have an opportunity to save her. Upon the Moonlit Isle, there is a mana stone. If you retrieve it in time, Loriel may yet live. I will transport you to the isle. This will help you return if you succeed. Good Luck. Do not disappoint me. "

🛎️! 4 triple XP scrolls added to special storage. Lasts 4 hours.

🛎️

You have received Seed of Yggdrasil. Infinite use- Will return the user to Loriel through teleportation.

Ding!

You have gained Blessing of Moon Goddess-(Permanent)-Mana Regeneration +50%, Can now cast spells in shifted form. Can take the shape of any absorbed soul. Shifting is now instant cast and has no mana cost.

Moonlight filled the room, becoming brighter and brighter until I had to close my eyes.

I opened my eyes and I was standing on a beach with the sound of the ocean waves crashing against the sand.

I could see a line of trees with ancient ruins rising up, over and throughout the center of the island. The sound of ghostly moans could be heard coming from these ruins.

InfiniteBloom was amazed by her new class. Elemental Druid!

"How did this happen?! What did you do!" she exclaimed.

I explained what had happened as quickly as I could.

"I can't believe you stumbled on something like this. I was supposed to keep you out of trouble!" She yelled at me. "And look! All of my spells are gone! Have they been replaced? "

She shared the details with me. Four schools,

Fire- Damage buff/debuff- (-)(+)10%physical damage.

Wind- speed buff-/debuff-(-)(+) 10%attack/movement speed

Earth - health/armor buff/debuff-. (-)(+) %10 HP and armor.

Water- low heal/direct damage water jet(-)(+) heals 10%health per second, channeled.

Large heal/ice blast- heals 200 hp deals 200 base ice damage. 3 second cast.

"I'm pretty sure those are skills that weaken enemies and buff allies depending on the target of the skill. " I guessed.

" Oh well, that makes sense I guess. Let's try them out! Wait what about you? Didn't she say you were a dragon? And aren't you freaking out even a little about the MOON goddess picking us as her warriors!?! How are you so calm! "

I smiled at bloom and shrugged, "I don't know. Maybe that's why she picked me. "

She laughed, "I doubt it. You just seem to be lucky. By the way have you noticed. Its been an hour and your not laying on the floor. "

I had been so busy that I hadn't realized. I was so overcome with happiness I couldn't help but do a little jig.
