章 22: 21: The Other Ones (4)

"Ohh my gosh what the hell is this..

Talk about bathing in riches"

Words escaped Artius's mouth as he looked at the stats in his status window.

Even though Artius from his memory or from the game never pushed himself, he easily made it to top fighters with least effect.

'If only not for the madness that he had, he would have cleared the game with this character.

But maybe... he could survive this world with this specific character'

A thought came in his mind while he turned around in his bed.

In the game's storyline Alwenzer's played quite an important role. However the second son of Alwanzer and the playable character from one of the Ruling families had a big flaw in it.

'He will become a villain if you don't play with his character'

This was a major flaw as no matter what players worldwide would tried to do, it always ended up happening.

Due to this even a petition was started, which was started and funded by Artius himself secretly as he too was not happy with the character that he modeled for.

In the game there were 9 great families and 7 Rulers of lands, each and every one of them combined together form the power of human species and the association.

Every one of them holds the balance, even while holding grudges with each other, Just in order to battle out with demons, devils and the unknown phenomenon called dungeons.

Artius knew about most of them as somehow somewhere they played a part in the game depending on the character you chose to play.

However even among all, Alwenzer had power on a completely different level, clearly they were strongest in the Ranking.

Many things contributed to their power, the first and foremost reason was they being the sole Ruler of the entire continent of Olympus.

Hence, the highest capital and no competition.

Secondly they had a 5 star Mana art and SSS rank Artifact from the Hidden dungeon that their ancestor cleared a long time ago.

And lastly there is the Generis, which was their bloodline specific means everyone awakened the same generis if they got the chance to awoke it.

The power it contained was not to be scoffed of after all the clearance of the hidden dungeon and the ruling of the whole continent was a byproduct of this power.

Alongside these major three reasons there were many more like kindness of each ruler, a good ruling head, wise choices, the weapon arts, etc but they all were minor ones.

'Haa.. i am bored… lets go to the library'

Artius felt bored lying in the bed and decided to went library to study some books on spellcraft and other major topics.

However his mind was still thinking about many things like information from the game, in order to recall every little bit of information that he could remember and about the girl that took his virginity.

'Wait a second, was she a virgin?'

Artius stopped in his step, as a question arose in his mind. He was a two life's virgin and was a first timer so he was unsure how he performed on his first night. thus if someone with experience was his partner, he was unsure if his performance clears the bench mark or not.

'I am kinda sure there were blood stains on the bed sheet so there's a highly likely chance that she too was a virgin'

After rummaging his memories for quite a time, he finally got the answer and a big smile formed on his face.

He once again made his way towards the library but now not engrossed in his thought with serious face, in contrary he was smiling and whistling from his mouth.

Arclyn who was also making his way towards the library saw his little brother doing weird things in the hallway and decided to train a little and then came back to the library.

He was sure Artius wouldn't have liked him seeing this scene, thus he just secretly recorded it in his phone before going to the training area.

"So people really do go crazy in love…..

Alas, What does a person like me knows

After all i am just getting betrayals instead of love?"

***

In the world many things have happened in the last 2 years. This was a result of something that shakes the whole world, the diminishment of one of the great families.

The impact was huge both for the world and for Alec.

The day when Gravewalker's were completely wiped out, those people also tried to erase the remnant or any hope of their bloodlines surviving.

They destroyed every single person in the Kezan region leaving none behind.

On that specific day, 7 dungeon spikes and 4 dungeon outbreaks happened, erasing the traces of the perpetrators of the incident.

However there was a survivor who lived by a miracle, Alec, a village boy from the Deu village in the Kezan region.

On the night when the Gravewalker family was wiped out, the monster waves hit their nearby villages; many powerful men and women fought at the front line and stopped it.

They suffered casualties that wouldn't have happened if the Grave guild was there to support but their lives were short lived as their carriers of death arrived in every location where outbreaks were happening.

Black demonic winged people came and they easily massacred all of the powerful fighters with few attack of theirs while leaving the others to die by monster's hand as painfully as possible while they observed the situation from above with great ecstasy.

Only after achieving their goals and confirming that no human life was alive, they left the place while removing the trace of their presence.

Gravewalker was once one of the prominent families among the 10 great families with their history going back to as far as more than 2000 years.

It wasn't a fluke that a powerful family like theirs which ran a successful guild goes down this easily, however it was many unlucky encounters and careful planning of their enemies of theirs that used their bad times to their advantage.

With the second son of Gravewalker getting trapped inside a hidden dungeon gate for more than 50 years ago and the head of the family dying in a raid of an SS rank dungeon just few years later, the whole responsibility came on the shoulders of the elder son of Gravewalker.

He tried to shoulder the burden and recover the downfall of their family, however with no good young buds and plumping worth of family, the situation got worse year by year.

Sadly, the imminent end that they were trying to avoid with great effort finally came as the organization, 'KURLT' of devilkins came into the equation.
