"Okay what the fuck!? This single battle gave me 50 levels? But it wasn't even hard... Himmelmez what the hell did I stop? Surt is not a fire giant from Muspelheim?" I'm really surprised by the amount of levels I got, I can level up all 200 levels of my job easily but even that amount of experience only brings me up a normal level or two.
Not only that, 6 million gold bars and every one cost 100,000! If I already had money and didn't know what to spend it on... now I couldn't even think of a way to spend it. I still don't want to use my MVP cards, I don't feel like I'm lucky enough... Rank points are welcome with this amount of points I'm already over the rank of a Count and I can almost become an Earl, although I have to go to Geffen to obtain it so I better pass....
Now I got another 3 castles and another region that I practically don't know what to do with more territories, according to the system the region is rich in minerals but I don't even have a population to exploit them... with the castles it is better to continue concentrating on Britoniah which is where the girls are, although I have to visit those other castles you never know when they will be useful.
'Status'
[Name: Leonhard Hausner Age: 25 Title: Grand Master of Britoniah, Explorer of Death.
Rank: Viscount [1,212/5,000] [Points: 1,079,400/100,000] - (Count [1,212/10,000] [Points: 979,400/1,000,000])

[Count: The position of count was regarded as an administrative official dependent on the king not hereditary, The word count came from Latin comes—in its accusative comitem—meaning "companion", and later "companion of the emperor, delegate of the emperor".]
To tell the truth, I don't think anything can harm me anymore... maybe only Ophis and Great Red, so I have to get my anti-dragon weapons and armor... even so there are many special powers in that world, so I must not let down my guard and if I come into conflict with any of them I must finish it quickly to not have any surprises.
Without more to do and observing my status and my MPVs loots I entered Morroc again from the south entrance (that have no guards) as a normal adventurer, the city... is abandoned well I don't blame them if I were a normal person I would do it too, so without I head to the north entrance and leave the city.
'I guess the best thing to do would be to raise my archer level... I don't like the archer job, I've never been good at with them, but I guess it's better level it up and finish this quickly.' There are no guards at the north city gates either so I easily get out and continue walking aimlessly after changing my job to archer, though with only about 5 minutes walking and still with the city wall in sight, the ground start to shake.
"Could you not throw me some type of shit... for only 5 MINUTES!!" I turn to the sky and scream with all my might, but apparently the world, gods or those administrators enjoy seeing me suffer and they don't plan to let me rest, but unlike before, it's deserted here so I don't give a shit what happens.
Despite only having 20% of my status, it doesn't matter much, I have 2k and some INT for magical attacks... in the distance I see my enemies an army of ants, so Maya sent them to avenge her partner? It's time to unleash the beast so I prepare my attack against them, I use the champion's body relocation skill, which unlike in the game I can move as far as my sight can reach, so I appear abode the ants.
"Apocalypse is NOW bitches!! [COMET]!" I can finally use Warlock magic without worrying about my surroundings, besides I want to know what is the difference between this and Meteor Storm.
[Comet Lv: 10/10 Skill Form: Damage / Special Type: Magic on ground
Description Inflicts Neutral property Magic Damage to all enemies in the area around the targeted location, leaving them magic poisoned that reduces resistance to all property by 50%. Damage increases based on BaseLv.
[Level 10] : MATK 13,000% ~ 15,800%]
Around me dozens of meteors appear, and unlike the Meteor Storm, these are real stones, they start to fall from the sky, with a range that I did not think was possible, reducing everything in the area to ashes without problem. Maxing out my job experience in the process, I change my job to Hunter and continue to level up.
I notice movement in the ground, apparently the ants are smarter than I thought trying to get to where I'm underground, I'm still receiving experience so no MVP is in the area for now, well the last time I faced them I was on rocky ground so they really couldn't appear below me, but they are very wrong if they think that I cannot do anything to them. [Earth Strain]
[Earth Strain Lv: 10/10 Skill Form: Active / Damage Type: Magic on caster's line of sight.
Description: Earth Strain uplift a huge mass of earth from the ground and pushes it away from the caster, striking all enemies in its path. The shaking caused by the skill can cause the enemies to lose their weapon, helm, armor, shield and accessory.
[Level 10] : MATK 7,000% Success Strip 100%]
In front of where I am standing the sand begins to move and stones begin to come out from below making a real wave of stones, sand and earth rising from the ground covering an area of about 50 meters in front of me, apparently destroying everything that was below the surface and again leveling up my job completely.
How many ants are there really? After completing my Hunter job I quickly switched to Sniper and continued to level up for some minutes and now I finally switched to Ranger, but I've easily killed out a few million of them in the span of some minutes. After almost 10 minutes I finally complete my Ranger job and switch to Bard to finish off the archer class quickly, luckily the system doesn't force me to be a Dancer, just imagining it makes me shudder...
Even so, there are still ants and I've almost reached Ant Hell, which is where they come from, apparently I'm going to have to go in to kill Maya, who is doing this. After 1 more hour and changing jobs two more times going through Clown and then Minstrel I finally arrived to Ant Hell and without further ado I enter but what I find inside is something that I did not expect at all.....
"Kill... me..." Near the entrance and apparently merged with the wall? Or at least a reddish stone thing is holding her to the wall is Maya a nude woman with lower body of an ant, giving birth to more and more eggs that fall into a pool of blood? Or at least reddish water, from which the ants are born in a psychopathic state to later be controlled by something and start leaving the anthill completely ignoring me.
[Maya (Cursed) LVL: 81 HP 169,000/ 1,615,400 MP: 230/14,730 Race: Insect/Undead Element: Earth 4 Undead 1
Maya is the Queen Ant with fantastic power that most people dare not face. She prefers to live undisturbed in dark damp places, but will come out from time to time to punish those that would invade her nest.]
"What the hell is going on here?!" From what I see Maya is slowly dying... She is turning into a Undead? And what can they gain by doing it? That is to say, the army of ants only... serves to attack Morroc? More specifically the pyramids and awakening the monsters within....?
"Stop... Zenobia... save MirdgaaAAAAHH!" While she was talking, an electric current seems to pass through her and accelerates the process of laying eggs and the ants start attacking me, surely because they discovered that I'm here and killed all the ants that I came across. I don't like this at all but I don't like seeing a woman suffer and it has nothing to do with her being beautiful with big breasts.
So I proceed to end her life, trying to be as kind as possible so as not to increase her suffering by using several tranquilizers that I bought in my store. In the end, she dies, I wait peacefully, at least at the end of everything, she thanked me for killing her... but what the hell am I getting myself into?

'Another valkyrie? What the hell is happening? Why are so many characters appearing who seem to want to destroy the world?' I'm starting to feel the headache that this is, but without further ado I proceed to eliminate everything in the Ant Hell.
'Does that mean that if the MVP does not control it's subordinates in a 'conscious' way, they are not classified as 'his/her/it' and therefore I do not gain extra experience?' Without more than being able to do, I continue thinking about the meaning of what I have seen, at no time did the ants stop giving me experience when killing them. And even when I killed Maya, I didn't get any experience bonuses.
I try my best not to think too much about what's I had to do, I'm getting into shit and I'm getting deeper and deeper into it and I don't like it at all, I have to decide whether to participate or just watch events unfold and to know was the hell is this thing.
[Mother's Nightmare: A mother's nightmares that have been given physical form. Price: 10]
'I suppose the best thing would be to talk to Kirkena, who is the only one with the necessary knowledge to consult.' So Leonhard uses teleport and departs from the area
*****
Unknown to Leonhard, a pair of crows were observing him, then they land in the ground and transform on a pair of women, one tall with long brown hair covering her brown left eye and covered almost entirely in a green cloak including her face. the other a slightly shorter woman with short silver hair and yellow eyes who, unlike her partner, is only covered by a pair of belts around her waist and a feather pelt on hers shoulders that does not cover her body at all.
"This is strange... no, more than strange it is unheard of..." The smaller woman begins to speak, with a face that seems to say that she doesn't understand what is happening. For her part, the tallest woman says nothing and just looked at her companion.
"I don't know what his path is... Is this what the Norns predicted? Another candidate for the new master of Midgard?" The smaller woman answers even though the other didn't say anything, it seems that their bond is so close that they don't need words to talk to each other or maybe they talk between each other in another form. At that moment, the eyes of the taller woman open and she shows an astonished face.
"He's not part of the plan? Wait the Norns don't know who he is...!? What do you mean, Huginn, what did the Norns tell you!!?" the smaller woman yell to the other, while Huggin, now visibly shaken, just watches her.
"A being that has no past... can't have a future... so the only one who can see something about it is Verdandi? She told you what she sees? Who is he!?" the short woman asks again to Huggin as Huggin just stares at her with beads of sweat on her face and clenching her hand nervously.
"Nothing.... Nothing... How the hell can that being be NOTHING!!" the smaller woman starts screaming and throwing rocks and ant corpses while Huggin watches.
"Our only job is to search for Sakray and advance destiny! By coincidence we decided to pass through here on our way to Alberta and they say that by pure coincidence we ran into a being that turns out to be NOGTHING!" The woman continues to scream and kick things, while both of them try to understand the situation, when suddenly both show a surprised expression and turn to the sky.
"Your wish will come true Allfather, Huginn and Muninn the Beholders are the instruments at your disposal." Both women lean in and lower their heads as the short woman speak towards nothing.
"So Huggin you will look for our new player and I will look for Sakray, be careful that guy is too powerful make sure you don't get close to him, as soon as I'm done here I'll go with you." the small woman apparently called Muninn talks to the other woman who just nods and they both transform into crows again and fly in different directions.
Huginn and Muninn also known as the Beholders, The Eyes of Odin. After running into Leonhard, though, both of them begin to remember some events that happened lately, which probably have to do with this person, but the Allfather Odin gave them a mission and they are going to fulfill it.
Even if it means that when that day comes, they shall be welcome in Valhalla no more.
