3.7% The Ancients World / Chapter 18: Last night in Blue Grass

Kapitel 18: Last night in Blue Grass

Now that all I am ready to leave and go to Vedersfall I should go visit Amelia since this is going to be the last time I am around for awhile. She is the one that gave me my divine class, I owe her more than I could describe. Walking around the beautiful city you can tell that it has had an up flow in money since the players are grinding beyond the needs of the NPC's of this world. Lots of stores have opened up and new people are coming and going even during this time of day.

The sun is setting beyond the walls of the city and mountains in the distance. I make my way to the poverty district and see the road that leads to the orphanage. I walk up the road and I knock on the front door. "Just a minute!" I hear her from the other side as kids yell and play. Must be chaos in there. After a few seconds it stops and I hear her come to the door. "Oh! This is a lovely surprise!" She looks to be much happier and seems to be full of energy. I'm glad that I have come here today, looking around I can see this place is in rougher shape than last time I was here.

She invites me in and we sit at the table. "So what have you been up to lately?" Now that the kids have settled down and are in there beds talking to each other, we have time. I wonder if she would be okay with the stories I have to tell. I have been on quite the adventure the last few days.

I contemplate what I should tell her first. Starting at the Plague cave sounds like a good idea. "The day after we meet I went into the wilds to train and get stronger." The NPC's don't understand the concept of experience. That's why they grow cautious of us in a few years from our rapid growth and power. Amelia gives me a look of worry, if it was up to her I would have stayed here with her.

She looks like she is about to say something, but I interrupt her with the continuation of my story. "After going a few miles into the wilds I came across an old cave and fought an undead scholar." As soon as I said that she gets up slamming the table in protest at just the beginning of my story.

She has a serious expression and is preparing a response. "You better have turned back like a good boy...." The way she says that sends chills up and down my spine. Talk about a scary woman. I should just rip the bandage off quick.

After she calms down and I remain silent I continue with my story. "I'm sure you heard some of the updates from the church while I was at the Kingdom of the fairies and the Ancient ruins of the Dryads. Before I took care of those I killed an Elemental in an old house out in the forest." She looks ready to explode. I stop her by raising my hands like you would for the cops. She cools down after that. "After I took care of the Elemental I went to the kingdom of the fairies and fought a Demon Guardian. That was a close call if I have anything to say about it." She gets up and smacks the side of my head.

She looks like she is about to cry and has a quivering lip. "How could you just fight a Demon and joke about almost dying!!" I can see some tears welling up in the corner of her eye's. I think the only reason she doesn't smack me more is because I revived the fairy kingdom with the defeat of the Demon Guardian. "I swear if you did anything else as stupid as that I won't let you leave this house!!" I can easily tell she cares about me a lot. Reminds me of my mother from my world.

I rub the side of my head, I didn't lose any health. It still hurt though, I should just give an abbreviation of the rest of my journey as to not worry her. "Long story short, I went on a big adventure and met a Grandmaster Magician as well as a dragon princess named Nelmorphius. She likes Nelli for short." She heard most of my big accomplishments through the churches announcements.

Amelia looks like she's ready to hit me again, maybe I should have been more tactful with my explanation. It is getting really late and I want to do one more thing for her. "Here, this is for you to help with anything you need." I take out the gold reward I got from yesterday and give her 3500 gold of the 4000 I got. I won't need this much gold this early in the game. As I say that I get a system notification.

[Amelia is extremely moved my what you have just done]

[Arch-Angel Michael and The Almighty Father are proud of your kind full and selfless act]

I look at Amelia and she is weeping almost as much as my mom did when I told her about the millions we will have. "My sweet boy..." I can feel myself getting choked up as well. This will undoubtedly help with everything she needs to make this a better home. It's more important to me that the ones I care about are taken care of.

She leaps onto me and squeezes the life out of me. I am glad that I can bring happiness to people who really need it. "If you need anything I'll do my best to make it happen." She can go to the local church and pay them to contact me via magic. It works similarly to the mail the players get to use. "Is it alright if I stay here for the night. I'll be heading to Vedersfall tomorrow to continue to get stronger." She finishes hugging me and wipes her tears away.

She smiles and leads me to a room I can sleep in. "Don't forget to say goodbye to me before you leave tomorrow. I want to at least feed you before you head out." She is a great person for these kids to have. They need someone that cares as much as Amelia does.

I lay down on the bed and think about the things I need to do in Vedersfall. I know there is an epic grade trial quest that rewards you based on your performance. I remember all the details from the forums posts and I know for a fact that I will undoubtedly use the reward for a very long time. It will be a long journey to Vedersfall. 3000 square miles and plus another 800 once I am out of the wilds is a big task without a mount. This is just what us players have to deal with till we are high enough levels to purchase a mount.

I know the general path and roads to take, but it would be wise of me to get a map so I don't get lost on accident. 2 days from now the auction house will open world wide and I can sell this guild token. One of the best features of the guild house is that if you pay a flat rate you can auction from anywhere in the world without actually going to the house. I am glad that it keeps the sellers identity hidden and safe. People could probably connect the dots and find out who I am other wise.

I can now use two swords at the same time and they are both great against certain tough enemies. Once I get to Vedersfall I should talk to the Hermit Flint. He has some pretty good unique quests that will help me keep my lead on everyone. Most hardcore players are pushing level 11 and are preparing to leave. Right now they level twice as fast as me thanks to my half exp class debuff. I have an advantage though. I know where a lot of great gear and weapons are for the early levels. My sap armor should last me till 30 or 35, but I should still keep my eye out for good gear that I have no knowledge of.

I think now is a good time to log off and go hang out with my family. I missed dinner tonight, but I do want to spend time with the family that I lost. I won't waste any moment I have with them. I get out of my gaming pod and head to the bathroom and take a shower. I have plans for tomorrow and I should leave that for the tomorrow me. I head downstairs and hang out with my family. Now that I think about it, the post-launch interviews are the same day as the release of the auction house. I wonder how much they are going to talk about it.


Kapitel 19: The adventure to Vedersfall I

I am sitting on the couch with my family going though the channels and I can feel intense tension between my mom and sister. I don't know why, I thought the news about my item would make them stop fighting. I was wrong though, they seem to be having a silent war of looks and body language. My sister rolls her eye's at mom and I know for a fact that doing that to mom is signing your death warrant. "DON'T YOU ROLL YOUR EYE'S AT ME YOUNG LADY!!!!" Mom is over come with anger and rage. Mom gets up from her chair to yell at her some more. "JUST BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE MONEY DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN KEEP ACTING THIS WAY!!!" Mom is on a roll right now and nobody is going to step up and stop her.

Finally dad gets up and gets between mom and Hailey so the fight doesn't get physical. "Okay honey, I think she understands your point." Mom turned her fury from Hailey onto dad. I witness something I have never seen in my life.

Mom raises her hand and slaps dad across the face hard. I am stuck in my spot and frozen. Everyone one else is too, dad has no idea what to say. This is the first time this has ever happened before. Even in the future this didn't happen, another thing that has changed with my actions. "I AM TIRED OF YOU SPOILING HER ROTTEN!!! EITHER SHE GETS HER ACT TOGETHER OR SHE IS OUT OF THE HOUSE!!! IF YOU TRY AND INTERFERE IN ANYWAY YOU WILL BE JOINING HER!!!" As mom finishes yelling she storms off upstairs and goes into her room. Hailey is very shaken right now, I don't know what she is thinking. It might be fear of getting kicked out and not getting saved by dad. I look over to Marcus and he is ready to cry.

I walk over to him and lean down in front of him. "Lets go and give some privacy for dad and sis." I pick him up and head upstairs as I hear Hailey and dad start talking. I don't want Marcus seeing stuff like this. I take him to his room and set him down, I go to my room and grab my laptop. I place it on the bed so he can watch T.V. I use this opportunity to go to my parents room and knock on the door.

I don't hear anything except for silent sobbing. "It's Cera, I just wanted to make sure that your doing okay...." I hear silence and no sign of the door being opened for me. "Dad is talking to Hailey downstairs. Marcus is using my laptop to watch his cartoons, if you need anything I'll be in my room." I walk away from the door and head to my bedroom. I lay on my bed and pull out my phone. I scroll through social media platforms and watch some video feeds of players clearing dungeons on the forums. I love how you can record your gameplay and post it so others can see your fights from your perspective.

It really helped the DDVR market when is was first invented 40 years ago. It was pretty bare bones back then, but the foundation for this global market was laid in those days. Now everyone with an internet connection is trying to play this game. In a year or so Ancients World will be the most valuable thing on the planet, and the highest level players and strongest guilds will be worth trillions.

I know for a fact that the corporations and guilds that make livings off games like Ancients World are worth tens if not hundreds of billions, you can see the hard work of building the guilds throughout the history of DDVR's. The biggest titans in this industry started when the first DDVR's came out and haven't looked back. I am starting to fall asleep with my phone in my hand. That is a clear sign it is night night time.

I get in my pajama's and get in my sheets. I sleep throughout the night like I usually do, and now is the time to get to grinding. No breakfast for me today and I am excited for this new adventure. I hop in my gaming pod and load into the world. I wake up in the same bed I fell asleep in and the sun is rising just like it would in the real world. I can hear kids already up and making noise.

I walk out of my room and walk into the kitchen. I can smell the delicious food and see that Amelia is making a meat stew with vegetables. I know for a fact food taste real like my world, you can eat it and not go hungry. Another cool thing about Ancients World is food and water are important. They won't kill you, but there are heavy debuffs. I can see the table is already set and ready for us. I sit down and eat my food while telling the kids stories of my adventures.

Pretty soon I am done and I am ready to head off. Amelia walks me down the road and is crying again at having to see me go. "Promise that you will be careful and always reply to my messages and visit when you can." She sounds like a mom would if there kid was leaving for college.

I bring her in a hug and make sure I put love into it, I have grown to really care for the woman. "I promise, I have to go now. Tell the kids I'll bring them back presents the next time I come back." We say our goodbyes and she watches me walk away. Pretty soon I am almost back to the commercial district. I know the things I need to take with me, first things first is a map so I don't get lost.

I make it to the cartographers shop and enter. I talk to the nice old man and I get a great quality map and pay 5 gold. This would be an impossible price for most players right now, I kept 500 gold so I can pay for expenses. Now I need to make sure my equipment is good and repaired. My swords don't need any work so I sell my steel sword back for some bronze pieces.

Now all I got to do is head out and make my way to Vedersfall. I make my way to the gate and notice some players coming and going. I can see the main road packed with carts and merchants. I can't wait till the teleportation network is open to the players at level 50. It will make traveling to discovered places easier. Until then its walking for us, I walk down the road and make my way deep into the wilds. Pretty soon I see only stray carts here and there. Monsters are smart by not going to the main road.

Monsters prefer weaker targets that are alone, and carts always travel together with an escort. Now that I am on my way I can really plan my next moves with all this free time. My first goal for when I reach Vedersfall is doing the epic trial quest for its unique reward. Once that is done I talk to the old Hermit Flint and finally grind my way to level 30. The dungeons out near Vedersfall have lots of enemies within them. It's one of the best places on the continent to grind.

I could run at my top speed and get there in half the time, but that would cause hunger, water, and a fatigue debuff. Things you don't want when traveling long distances. Conserving energy and food is the smart thing to do. I check my stats so I can see where I will stand against the higher leveled creatures.

[Slayer (Zern) Lvl.19]

[Exp: 1450/21,000]

[Title: The Son of Arch-Angel Michael (Hidden),+1 more]

[Stats]

[Strength - 395]

[Endurance - 345]

[Dexterity - 350]

[Speed - 345]

[Focus - 345]

[Mana: 3450/3450]

[Health: 2960/2960]

[Stat Points: 150]

[Armor rating: 475]

[Inventory]

[Skills/Perks]

[Inheritor of the sword (Passive) - Son of Heaven (Passive) - Heavens light Lvl.3 150/300 (Active) - Protected by Heaven Lvl.3 25/300 (Active) - Slash Lvl.8 500/800 (Active) Slayer of Evil (Passive) - Holy Willow Trees savior (Passive) - Parry Lvl.1 80/100 (Active) - Finder of Legends (Passive) - The divine who has legend (Passive)]

I should look for more active skills when I reach Vedersfall. The passive perks are wonderful, but all they are is passive. I'll save up my skill points till I get in a fight that requires them. I'll be the first player in Vedersfall. I might even be the first player to enter another city period. Others are probably looking to leave there starter cities, but don't have a map. That 5 gold is a boon to most players. The major guilds have probably scrounged enough together and are preparing as well. Then I hear a wonderful system announcement. It actually isn't about me this time, it will spill trouble for the players however.

[World-wide Announcement: The armies of Zenith are amassing in force for war! The kingdom's involved are now preparing the war council earlier than expected and players are welcomed to go to there choice of sides war council! Players must be at least level 50 tier 1 to participate!]

I guess the war is going to be happening. I got out of Blue Grass at the right time. I won't worry about Amelia because Baron Jackson is helping and a head figure in the rebellion. The Enemy kingdoms will surely spare it for the aid it can provide. I hope that they find a person who can use that horn. If they can this war will be over quickly.
