Chapter 8: 8)The Continent of Garcia
[New information unlocked: 'The one who stood at the beginning of creation']
After he was done talking to Hermes, he set out in search of more answers, according to Hermes, Night was to level up and get stronger before anything and should absolutely stay away from the Imperial Kingdom or any other Kingdom surrounding them. It was mainly due to the fact that all of the kingdoms had forces that were already past their 2nd ascension and even slightly offending them would be a death sentence to any of the players.
The Imperial Kingdom, a force stronger than all of the other surrounding kingdoms put together.
It was simply due to their Falcon order. The Falcon order were elite soldiers who were numbered, meaning each Falcon had a number assigned to them, and the lower the number, the stronger they were. As of now, any single digit could wreak havoc or destroy an entire kingdom, which is why the other kingdoms including Aeternum remained under their rule. Though the Imperial Kingdom never issued any specific orders to carry, they would often take advantage of their position. Especially the Falcons, most of the single-digit treated other kings like dirt on the side, after all their loyalty was only to the Imperial kingdom.
However, there were two other forces that rivaled the Imperial Kingdom, The Norse Kingdom and The Kingdom of Beasts.
The Norse were a proud race and usually kept to themselves, they valued power and might over everything else, and this often caused issues between the Imperials and them. Just like how the Imperials had the Falcons, the Norse had their own Einjerhar who were said to be just as strong as the Falcons.
Out of the Three major Kingdoms that resided in the Continent of Garcia, The Beasts were the only ones that were peaceful and had people from different origins co-existing peacefully. However, this was only possible due to the fact that their leader was said to be the child of a Mythical Beast, one of the beings of the continent that protected the vast lands.

Night continued his own path, determined to become the strongest, not just amongst players but throughout the Lands, he wanted to best every single being and rise to the top.
'well I guess for starters it would be better to hunt alone' he thought as he checked to see if Nate was online. He sent Nate a text saying that he would be hunting solo for a while and proceeded to hunt nearby beasts. Since the number of people even remotely close to Night's level were very few, he was soon alone as he stepped into the 'level 25-40' mob zone.
Before he could enter he hid behind a tree to scout the area ahead.
It was surprising to see such a wide-opening in the forest, especially with goblins freely walking around, most of the goblin's seemed to be around 4'feet but there were a few Hobgoblins which were around 6'feet as well. However, there was one being that stood out, a muscular 7'feet Elite Goblin sitting on a throne surrounded by Hobgoblins.
Without delaying he used 'Inspect' on the Elite Goblin as it was the only being there that would be a possible threat to him. Unfortunately, the skill had a specific range he needed to be within to use it successfully but that didn't bother him too much, not only because most of them were level 25 excluding the HobGoblins and the Elite Goblin, which were nearing 30.
There were 20 goblins in total, 15 normal ones, 4 Hobgoblins, and one Elite Goblin.
Even if the Elite Goblin would prove to be stronger than him, he could kill the remaining goblins as they only had 200Hp and the Hobgoblins had 400Hp.
He got into position and began launching his attacks, starting with 'rapid shot', which drained a goblin of half of its health. Not knowing what hit them they began to panic.
After sniping them away, he soon switched to his spear and began killing the goblins and Hobgoblins, until only the Elite Goblin was left, he noticed that the Elite Goblin never joined the others to help take Night down.
The EliteGoblin then stood up and picked up its huge broad-sword and stood right in front of Night, looking down at him, little did the Elite Goblin know that Night was only spamming his skills and didn't bother putting in too much energy.
He then used Inspect and started smiling, which enraged the leader of the goblins. The Elite Goblin had only 1000Hp and its damage was only half of the reanimated boar that Night fought.
It took him 6 seconds. That's all the time he took to finish the leader and a total of 2 minutes to finish the entire camp. After the battle, he went ahead and sat on the throne the Elite Goblin sat on and then checked how many levels he had grown.
He was now level 30, at first, he wasn't too happy about the exponential increase in the XP required to level up but he realized he was 'luckier' than the others, atleast when it came to leveling.
[+20stat points and VIT-STR-DEX-INT +20]
(50stat points available)
VIT:61 Hp;Def:3050;122
DEX:71 Spd;Eva:135.5; 0.355%
STR:61 PhyDmg:305/2=152.5
INT:61 MagDmg;Mp:(305/2=152.5);6100
He was happy with how much he leveled up today and decided to log out.
Time flowed differently inside the game. Time in the game flowed almost 3 times faster. Meaning it had been only 20mins actually but he spent an hour in the game but he decided to call it a day as he felt exhausted.

Meanwhile, in Genesis.
In the region of Tokihiko, an NPC could be seen walking through the dense forest.
The reason Tokihiko is almost always vacant was due to the extreme temperatures and ice storms there. Even the citizens there never dared to step out, especially into the forest which was infested with demons
The NPC had a katana hanging around his waist as he calmly faced the storm head-on as if it was nothing. He closed his eyes and could sense 2 targets up ahead.
Realizing that they were discovered the demon halflings decided to attack him.
"Void Style: Still Infinity"
As if cutting the very space that existed there, he walked past the halflings not caring to even look back.
*𝘒𝘙𝘜𝘊𝘒*
The entire area within a 1-mile radius was now experiencing sunlight for the first time. He cut through the weather and all the trees ahead of him along with the demons which were now cut in half.
"Man, I should've held back"
