Fun Adventures by me and my fellow campaigners.

Chapter 2434 - Ascending to Heaven
When they heard the Grand Elder's exclamation, everyone stared at the scroll Phoenix Rain held, astonished.
"Zero Wing is actually selling such an item?"
Magic Barrier Scrolls were insanely rare on the market. The various powers even hoarded Basic Magic Barrier Scrolls, only allowing their main forces access to the tools. 

Level 100-plus Grand Lords were simply too difficult to deal with for current players. If one of these Grand Lords possessed special Skills, not even Tier 3 MTs would be able to tank it, let alone Tier 2 MTs.
To help their main forces explore Level 100 neutral maps, the various powers relied on magic barriers to defeat these Level 100-plus Grand Lords.
Unfortunately, due to how scarce these scrolls were, the various powers didn't even have enough to arm their main forces sufficiently. As a result, the teams' exploration speed was still quite slow.
The best Magic Barrier Scrolls on the market were only Intermediate rank. There were practically never Advanced Magic Barrier Scrolls available. Although the various superpowers had even offered to trade Level 100 Dark-Gold Equipment for the Advanced ranked scrolls, no one was willing to sell what they had.
And yet, not only had Shi Feng revealed an Advanced Magic Barrier Scroll, but it was also an Ancient Barrier Scroll.
In God's Domain, Intermediate Magic Arrays could only affect Level 100-plus Grand Lords; they were nearly useless against Level 100 Mythics. Only Advanced Magic Arrays would prove effective against such high-ranked monsters.
With a complete set of Advanced Magic Barrier Scrolls, one could even slay a Level 100-plus Mythic monster. It was easy to imagine how much a set of those scrolls was worth.
Ancient Magic Arrays were generally stronger than ordinary magic arrays of the same rank, and fewer players were required to channel the magic arrays. This allowed more of the team to participate in the actual fight.
If a team used an Advanced Magic Barrier, they'd still need around 30 Tier 3 experts to take down a Level 100-plus Mythic monster. However, if the team had an Advanced Ancient Barrier, they'd be more than capable of slaying a Level 100-plus Mythic monster as long as they had a Tier 3 MT.
Advanced Ancient Barrier Scrolls?
The revelation even surprised Cold Shadow. She had never thought Shi Feng would be capable of obtaining such a treasure.
If what Shi Feng had suggested were true, and Zero Wing could sell large quantities of the Twelve Elemental Pillars, the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion would easily be able to dominate the Hill of Ruins. No superpower in the Apocalypse Empire would be able to contend with the Pavilion.
All of the various superpowers were nursing headaches over the issue Level 100-plus Mythic monsters presented, including Mythology.
Although the Tier 3 Combat Rune was powerful, it could only help players exhibit more of their combat power; it didn't offer a boost to players' Basic Attributes. Unless players met the minimum Basic Attribute requirements to raid Level 100-plus Mythic monsters, the Tier 3 Combat Rune wouldn't be particularly useful.
Advanced Magic Barriers, on the other hand, would be. They might not increase players' combat power or Basic Attributes, but they could limit a monster's strength. With a set of such scrolls, a team that normally wouldn't have a chance against a Level 100-plus Mythic monster would have hope of defeating it.
With an Advanced Ancient Barrier like the Twelve Elemental Pillars, even a Tier 2 team could raid Level 100-plus Mythic monsters. Those scrolls were well worth several times more than ordinary Advanced Magic Barriers.
At this stage of the game, superpowers still didn't have enough Tier 3 players to form a full team, but forming a Tier 2 team was a piece of cake.
Of course, not only was Level 100-plus Mythic monsters' loot bountiful, but it was also the foundation necessary to raid Level 100 Team Dungeons. If even Tier 2 expert teams could slay Level 100-plus Mythic monsters, their power could prepare to raid Level 100 Team Dungeons much sooner than others.
If the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion could secure a large stock of Twelve Elemental Pillars Scrolls, its development speed regarding Tier 3 players and equipment standards would reach new highs. The Pavilion would easily be able to surpass the Apocalypse Empire's various superpowers.
Meanwhile, Phoenix Rain stared at the scroll in her hands, dazed.
Nine Dragons Emperor broke the silence with a laugh, saying, "Guild Leader Black Flame, this is an Advanced Ancient Barrier Scroll we're talking about, yet you're suggesting that you can sell them in bulk? Do you take us for fools?"
Nine Dragons Emperor instinctively denied Shi Feng's claim. The Swordsman must've gone to great lengths to secure a single Twelve Elemental Pillars Scroll and was lying about Zero Wing's interest in selling Phoenix Rain a bulk order just to make her look good in front of the Pavilion's Grand Elders.
The strongest magic barriers the various superpowers could craft were Intermediate rank. Furthermore, not only were the required materials incredibly valuable, but no more than five superpowers were actually capable of crafting Intermediate Magic Barrier Scrolls.
How, exactly, was Zero Wing supposedly capable of mass-producing Advanced Ancient Barrier Scroll?
"Is that so?" Shi Feng chuckled, pulling 10 sets of Twelve Elemental Pillars, the scrolls he had found in the Magic Temple, from his bag.
Shi Feng tossed one scroll after another on the ground, quickly forming a small mound. As he did, everyone sensed the Mana density around them increase considerably…
Nine Dragons Emperor had been prepared to mock Shi Feng further, but seeing the Magic Array Scrolls, he turned deathly pale and couldn't bring himself to utter a single word.
Everyone in the plaza fell silent, and the Pavilion's members gazed at Shi Feng with admiration.
Nine Dragons Emperor was a true hero in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion. Not only was he individually powerful, but he was also an excellent commander. He had even led the Pavilion's Branch Guild in the Black Dragon Empire to prosper, despite the various Otherworld powers' invasion.
But the moment he had accused Shi Feng of lying, the Swordsman had revealed 10 sets of the Twelve Elemental Pillars. Moreover, Zero Wing's Guild Leader tossed them on the ground as if they were worthless pebbles. This was a slap in the face to Nine Dragons Emperor and had been done before the Pavilion's members. To top it off, Nine Dragons Emperor couldn't find anything kind of rebuttal. He wouldn't dare. The only thing coming out of his mouth should be compliments for Shi Feng. If he said anything else, he might even lose his position as a Pavilion Master, not to mention his chance to become the Great Pavilion Master.
Not even superpowers' Guild Leaders could subject Nine Dragons Emperor to such humiliation.
"So, that's the case." Cold Shadow grit her teeth. When Nine Dragons Emperor said nothing more, she knew that the situation was no longer in her favor. She then turned to look at Phoenix Rain and said, "Phoenix Pavilion Master, your insight truly is impressive. Since it seems that a partnership between our Guilds is no longer possible, I won't interrupt your discussions with Guild Leader Black Flame. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
Cold Shadow decisively led her subordinates away from the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion's Residence. She didn't show the slightest hint of anger or disappointment as if her negotiations with the Pavilion had meant nothing to her.
Meanwhile, none of the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion's members were surprised by the outcome. It was clear that Zero Wing had more to offer than Mythology, which was based on the western continent. Even a fool would recognize the stronger potential ally. Cold Shadow wouldn't linger to suffer further embarrassment.
"Rain, Guild Leader Black Flame has taken time out of his busy schedule to visit our main headquarters! As a Pavilion Master, how can you leave him standing out here for so long? You are being impolite!" a white-haired Grand Elder berated Phoenix Rain after Cold Shadow had left the Guild Residence.
The old man had been loud, but everyone could tell that he wasn't angry in the least. Rather, his tone contained joy and excitement. He had obviously chosen to support Phoenix Rain's side.
The Grand Elder's comments shook Phoenix Rain from her daze, and she addressed Shi Feng, "My mistake. Guild Leader Black Flame, please come in."
Phoenix Rain had never dreamed that Shi Feng would be so powerful as to reveal one trump card after another. Not only had he sent Mythology's Cold Shadow packing, but he had also managed to drag the entire Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion to her side. The situation had developed so quickly that she was at a loss.
Once Phoenix Rain led Shi Feng and his entourage into the Guild Hall, the Grand Elders in the plaza shot Nine Dragons Emperor piteous looks. After expressing their helplessness, they, too, returned to the Guild Hall, dismissing the other Pavilion Master.
"We're in trouble now, Pavilion Master. Thanks to Black Flame, the Grand Elders now support Phoenix Rain," Martial Dragon said, frowning as he watched the Grand Elders walk away without a word. After today, Nine Dragons Emperor's chances of becoming the next Great Pavilion Master were non-existent.
"Trouble?" Nine Dragons Emperor shot back with a sinister sneer. "Wrong! This is our chance! Phoenix Rain might've ascended to heaven thanks to Zero Wing's potential and foundations, but possessing wealth without the strength to protect it is a crime! Zero Wing shouldn't have revealed its Flying Ships and Advanced Ancient Barrier Scrolls so early. What do you think the various superpowers will do if they find this out?"
"Approach Zero Wing in hopes of cooperation?" Martial Dragon guessed after considering the question.
"And if that fails?" Nine Dragons Emperor asked, smiling at Shi Feng's departing figure.
"They'll do everything in their power to destroy Zero Wing!" Martial Dragon exclaimed as realization dawned on him. He also realized why Cold Shadow had left so quickly.
Zero Wing might be fine with its Flying Ships, but the Advanced Ancient Barrier Scrolls could change the status quo in God's Domain. If the various superpowers couldn't get their hands on the Twelve Elemental Pillars Scrolls, they wouldn't be content to let a pseudo-superpower like Zero Wing hold on to them. Today's events would certainly reach the various superpowers, and once it did, they would take action.
Even if Zero Wing allied with a few superpowers, they couldn't protect the Guild. The Twelve Elemental Pillars Scrolls touched on the foundations and futures of every superpower. Unless the various superpowers were willing to bow to Zero Wing in the future, they would try to destroy the smaller Guild now, ensuring that the status quo remained the same.
While Nine Dragons Emperor and Martial Dragon whispered amongst themselves, news of Zero Wing's three Flying Ships and its ability to mass-produce Advanced Ancient Barrier Scrolls spread like wildfire, soon reaching the various superpowers' upper echelons.


Starting over once more, he has entered this “living game” again in order to control his own fate.

This time, he will not be controlled by others.

Previously the Level 200 Sword King, he will rise to a higher peak in this life.

Methods to earn money! Dungeon conquering strategies! Legendary Quests! Equipment drop locations! Undiscovered battle techniques!

Even the secrets Beta Testers were unknowledgeable of, he knows of them all.

Massive wars, life advancement, entering Godhood, sword reaching to the peak; a legend of a man becoming a Sword God has begun.

                                    Ryan already imagined that since Gustavo and his friends had tanned skins, but their base really was at Rio de Janeiro. Although in the U.S. at that time of the year, things were pretty cold in some regions, that city was as hot as hell. That being said, people were living their lives normally. Some were even taking sunbaths at the beach. Obviously, a good part of the city was walled and was protected by many survivors…
"Things are much better here than I thought…" Ryan frowned.
"Well, we worked pretty hard to save as many people as we could when the monsters appeared," Gustavo explained. "After that, we stole all the weapons of the militiamen and gave them to the survivors. One of those tier three dungeons that you mentioned, we got control over one of them pretty early thanks to it. Those classes are amazing, so it helped us a lot."
                      For the better or the worse, Gustavo was a chatterbox, and since Ryan gave him some useful pieces of information, he gladly told Ryan the location of the tier three dungeons in Brazil. They had three of them… no wonder they had so many survivors and walled cities.
"Wouldn't it be more convenient to move all your survivors to a single city?" Ryan asked.
"Yeah, but many of us don't want to abandon our hometowns," Gustavo replied. "Besides, we need to keep some advanced posts to keep an eye on things. There are too many dungeons in our country, and we are having a hard time monitoring them and relaying information across the country thanks to it."
                      Despite that, things were much better in there than in comparison to things back home. Ryan never stopped the number of survivors working with Mark and the others, but they probably didn't have more than five thousand. Moreover, only one-fifth of them could properly fight.
                      A few hundreds of meters away from the beach, Gustavo and his friends had built their headquarters. It was a place in which the soldiers could sleep in and even communicate with the other camps. Since they had the backing of some dragons, they had several tricks to communicate and move around. When Gustavo tried to explain how they worked, the blonde girl, Fernanda, kicked his right leg.
"Ouch… Sorry about that. The people here don't like to talk about these," Gustavo said. "I don't understand the reason why we should hide this from you, though. You are going to make a pact with a dragon, right eventually?"
"I won't," Ryan replied.
"You won't?" Gustavo frowned. "Why? I only see advantages."
"I want to follow my own goals and make my own decisions," Ryan said. "Besides, I don't want power for free."
"Well, that is admirable… and quite reckless," Gustavo said. "You would be able to help a lot of people with the backing of a dragon. I know that some of them destroyed our society, but we can't show prejudice to all of them."
"I think I have been doing well, so far," Ryan said.
"I see," Gustavo said. "You really are the exact archetype of a lone wolf. It is weird to say that when you have a wolf as your partner."
                              Although Gustavo could understand the reason behind Ryan's actions to some extent, accept them so readily was another matter. He was someone who survived thus far by fighting alongside others, after all. Fernanda and Bianca were his friends from college. Paulo was his cousin, and Carlos had once been his P.E. teacher. Now they are his brother in arms that he could trust with his life.
                              When they arrived at their headquarters' meeting room, Gustavo asked everyone to sit down while he grabbed a single map. Things weren't that high-tech like it was in the secret base, but it was good enough.
"The dungeons that you are looking for can be found here, here, and the closest is the center of this city," Gustavo explained. "You will have to travel for quite a bit since the other two are near our old capital, and the other is in the center of the Amazon forest."
                            Ryan nodded when he saw the marks on the map. He would have to travel for a few days, but the real problem was to find the dungeon in the forest. Even if he flies high and has some directions, Ryan's chances of finding it easily would be pretty low.
"We can offer you some assistance in getting a class in the dungeon that we have here," Gustavo added. "Although only a certain number of people can obtain classes every day, we can help you with that since you are going to give us some information as well. We can even help you get a class in the dungeon near Brasilia, but we can only do that much. As of late, we are facing some problems with some individuals, so we can't leave our HQ often."
"I can clear the dungeons on my own," Ryan said. "Still, despite saying that didn't you left behind this city to find me?"
"Yes, and that was a mistake on our part. We thought you were one of them," Gustavo said. "Your presence is weird since you have a dragon inside you, but you didn't make a pact. Adding to the fact that you are pretty strong considering human's standards."
"Who are they?" Ryan asked. "Dragons, megalodons?"
"It is no surprise you didn't meet them until now, but they will eventually start to hunt you since you smell like the dragons now," Gustavo said. "We call them the 'Dragon Slayers'… they are the main reason why the number of dragons decreased in the last few months. They are like dungeon bosses, but most of them are humans… to some extent, more or less."
"Humans? Aren't you talking about Cerberus and other creatures like them?" Ryan frowned in confusion.  
"So, those are back too, huh…" Gustavo sighed. "I imagined that… no, I wasn't talking about them. I talked about this guy that now and then approaches our coast in a ship and attacks us with some weird magic… he is a pirate very famous in the past. His name is Edward Teach… the black beard."


After losing his parents in a car accident, Ryan immediately caught his fiancee cheating on him with his best friend. In just a few days, he lost everything he loved, so Ryan decided to buy a house in the mountains to process all those events. However, something happened before he could even enter his new home: the end of the world.

Monsters began to appear out of nowhere, and dragons began to dominate the skies. After losing everything, Ryan, who had lost his sense of reality, found new goals with the world in that state: survive and get stronger. Dungeons, classes, monsters, skills, the chance to obtain the DNA of other monsters... Ryan was decided to use them all because he no longer would become a spectator in his own life. Maybe with power, he won't lose anything anymore.

Sky was in a little better mood today. He had learned about Artha's past and how mischievous she was. She was his sun in this dark place.

When the werewolf found Sky still holding his reason, his expression changed. Sky's mind had almost gone crazy yesterday, but he was alright today.

The werewolf walked towards him and squatted down to take a look at his face. "Hmm! Nothing unusual." He muttered after looking into Sky's eyes for a long time.

Sky found some strength and spat on the werewolf as he was getting up. The werewolf merely chuckled and dodged to the side.

Sky being angry at him was a good thing for the Werewolf. The more Sky hates him, the more easier it was to break Sky.

This afternoon was also spent with a new group of female monsters. But Sky did not close his eyes this time. He started observing the werewolf.

There were two reasons Sky did not close his eyes. The first reason was the illusions. Sky was scared that he would see the illusions again. The second was to collect enough information.

He had understood how important information was when he was caught by the werewolf. Now, he wanted enough information to let him make a plan to escape from the werewolf.

Since he knew nothing about the werewolf before. He started with the WereWolf's interests. He watched as the werewolf changed from one female to another.

He noted down the amount of time the werewolf spent on each one of the female and which female took most of his time.

By the end of the afternoon, the werewolf had used all the females. He also raped five female monsters to their deaths. This did not seem to affect the other monsters.

The five females who were raped to death were the ones who looked the worst in the group. Even though they were the worst in this group, in the outside world, they would have been top beauties.

Sky also noted down what the females requested of the werewolf. Some had requested for more food for their territory while others asked for resources that would let them level up.

The werewolf had nodded to the most beautiful females, while he ignored the others. Those who he nodded to looked happy, while others looked dejected.

But none of them opposed the werewolf, after all he was a level seven monster.

The werewolf looked at Sky one last time before he left the hall. As soon as the wolf left, Artha started making a conversation. She did not want Sky to think about anything unnecessary.

They first discussed the werewolf's behaviour with the females. They have also noted the time he left. Both of them made sure that they have not left out anything. After all, this might just be their ticket to escape from the werewolf.

The four tailed fox then initiated a conversation about the history of the monsters to keep Sky busy.

"The Red Dungeon and Purple Dungeon are special out of the seven Dungeons. This is because of two monsters, or rather two Gods." She started with the Dungeons as they were the most symbolic existences in history.

"Our Red Dungeon is special due to how advanced it is in conquering the floors. The highest floor we have conquered is ninety fifth, while the highest in other Dungeons is just eight third of the Green Dungeon."

"We were able to conquer the ninety fifth floor due to the effort of one single entity, The Zombie Queen. She is said to be unrivalled in the monsters and said to be a level nine God."

"Zombie Queen?" Sky was confused. Zombie was a term he was unfamiliar with. He only knew about a bunch of monsters, but he was clueless about most of them.

The four tailed fox noticed Sky's lack of knowledge and started explaining. "Zombie is a type of undead monster that appeared recently. No body knows who their first God was, or who started this race, but they are classified as strong monsters."

"The Zombie Queen appeared for the first time when the Red Dragons conquered the eightieth floor of the Red Dungeon."

"The Red Dragons found legions of zombies on the eightieth floor instead of the Heaveners. Later, the Red Dragons found out that the Zombie Queen had already conquered the eightieth floor of the Red Dungeon."

"Dragons were said to rulers of monsters, so how could they be beaten by another?They challenged the Zombie Queen to a direct duel and the Old Red Dragon,their strongest fought against her."

"The match ended with the Old Dragon being heavily injured by the Zombie Queen's spear. The Old Dragon declared that the Zombie Queen would be the ruler of the Red Dungeon and went into seclusion to heal his wounds."

"This was how the Red Dungeon came to be ruled by the Zombie Queen." Sky finally understood who the Zombies were. But it still shocked him to find a monster race stronger than the Dragons.

"The Purple Dungeon is special because of the Vampires, or mainly due to their Vampire Queen. She is a level seven God, having the same cultivation as the Old Purple Dragon who rules the Purple Dungeon."

"There is famous saying in the Purple Dungeon. The Queen in the lower floors and the King in the higher floors. This sentence represents the Vampire Queen and the Old Dragon."

"Vampires are strong monsters, but their weakness was the sunlight. They would feel a burning sensation every time their body was exposed to sunlight."

"This was the reason, that the Vampire Queen and her Vampires stay in the lower floors which do not contain any artificial sun, unlike the higher floors."

"The most interesting thing about the Vampire Queen is that she is said to be their 'Progenitor'."

"It was said that all the Vampire monsters came from her. She is the starter of their race. This, along with her strength equaling to that of the Old Purple Dragon make the Purple Dungeon special along with our Red Dungeon."

......

Everything ends at the end of an era. And a new era starts before meeting the same fate as its predecessor.

There was no way to stop the end, all we can try was to survive this end.

The end of the era is started when the seven dungeons appear.

Monsters shall run around the grounds of earth and they shall eat everything else they see.

But these monsters are also not spared at the end, they are also killed at the end.

And it was time again,

The whole of earth’s land masses combined to form one huge continent with oceans surrounding it all around. They called this new continent Indiana.

Old mountain ranges were destroyed and new ones were formed, but the strangest part was seven tall towers that appeared when Indiana was formed.

The Seven dungeons appeared again and the monsters inside started their war on humanity.

Humans went to the brink of extinction only to avoid this calamity, since they had some use to the higher level monsters.

The higher level monsters vowed to protect humanity while the humans agreed to send sacrifices to the monsters regularly for their protection.

Now,

An eighteen year old boy with an arm which was immortal and indestructible vowed to the heavens to eradicate every monster he sees until she comes out of her dungeon and marries him.

The next day Leo and Nova went to the shopping district in the kingdom to meet up with Vajra. See after the tournament Leo agreed to be under his wing. Which Leo didn't have a problem with once he found out that Vajra was one of the three legendary XX Rank adventurer. While he was only a E Rank adventurer he would have to clear 10 different dungeons to be considered an E rank. Unless he does 5 F Rank dungeons or 2 D Rank dungeons. Leo really didn't care how many Dungeons he had to clear he just wanted to be a S so he could have his own Nation if he becomes a SS class he can register to have his nation be considered a kingdom. With there being so much unexplored land it's there for the picking as long as you get rid of all the Beast and claim the land you can have it. But if someone else wants it you have to battle for it. The winner of a nation battle always gets the losing nations land that's why there is always war going on. For there to only be 5 kingdoms known to the world it isn't an easy feat to run a kingdom. Your kingdom is always at war with another kingdom or a bunch of nations or nations get over run by a ton of villages. In terms to explain for every village there is at least 5,000 people. For every nation there is 1,000 villages and for every kingdom is 10,000 nations sometimes more. Currently the Kingdom of Jewel hold 16,000 nations as the kingdom of Fulmar has 12,000 nations within its kingdom. 

The ~Forgotten Continent~ is a enormous landscape it is at least 3x the size  of this one. Currently there are 7 continents The ~Forgotten Continent~ a jungle continent with all types of unknown treasures and history. The strongest kingdom came from there it was the only continent that King ruled the whole continent, ~Alazvar~ the Advanced continent. Here for some reason the people that live there don't rely on  any magic or aura . Instead they infuse their energy into machines and weapons that do amazing things like fly or even moving in a machine goes Mach 2 speed without your body moving. They are at the apex of Technology in the world. Then there's ~ Slaa Deeb~ Contains low mountains and deserts. The North has wide valleys near the rivers and deserts to the east and west. North of Zebnu, the Capital Nation, is the overpopulated trading Nation Numza. The fertile land is covered with farms.~ Thermitra~ There's a reason why it's called the Sun-Zero plains the continent is literally covered with a thick ice sheet that reaches up to an average of 2,500m. The extreme cold, strong winds and dryness in ~Thermitra~ has created one of the most severe natural environments in the world. There is also ~Sahul~ is a Continent made up of small islands which  is a commonwealth land. Here the whole continent only focus on aura. They have an Associations on the continent similar to the adventurers but they are called hunters. They also go by the same ranking system as ~Lavendale~, ~Ekoria~ the savage continent. Here the continent is split up of about 30 states with ~Dahm~ being the largest state in ~Ekoria~. This continent is on the verge of war everyday due to so many different races living here. They all have different ideals and traditions. But none want to converge to the other. It was eventually nicknamed the Savage plains there are currently 3 races right now on this continent that are at the peak of savagery they are the Dragons,The Fairies and The Orcs. Then as last but not least our lovely Continent ~Lavendale.~ A sort of beacon of hope the only continent that every race can live without worrying about war over one species.this continent doesn't focus on anything in particular it's more of a Paradise if you will. 


Leo and Nova could be seen in the market going shopping as they were walking to meet Vajra. Nova never had any sweets before so he wanted to try them for the first time. Noah was still a baby technically and still needed to learn about the world. 


'Here nova taste this one it's peanutcrum wrapped in coco.' Leo said passing some candy to Nova. 

'MMMMMMMMMMM thank you papa this is so good can we eat this everyday.' Nova said sweetly. 

'Only if you train hard and become stronger than the big dragons.' Leo replied patting Novas head making her smile and giggle.

'Ok papa I'll do my best.' Nova said giggling. 


Vajra was sitting on top of one of the buildings watching Leo and a child go around the market laughing and joking. Seeing them like this Vajra had to give them enough time to enjoy it. Because now that they are adventurers they will constantly be chasing Knowledge, Power and Treasures. 

             A few moments later...

' I see you two are Just as  energetic as ever.' Vajra said appearing behind Leo and Nova. 


'Hmmmph hey Vajra me and Nova were wondering when you was going to come down and join us.' Leo said to Vajra while putting the stuff he got from the market inside his Storage ring.

' mmmmmmm you look strong.' Nova said with a confused look on her face. She couldn't seem to figure out what it was but this man wasn't human nor beast but some far far stronger. 


' you do time Little one you will know everything there is to know Nova.' Vajra said look around himself. 

' Ok Leo and Nova today we will be going to a dungeon so I want you to pay attention to everything I tell you ok. I will not repeat anything I say so listen and store this information in your mind it will help you survive.' Saying to both children as they all started walking. 

Leo and Nova didn't say anything but focused on everything Vajra told them I mean he was a XX Rank adventurer. There isn't many of them either. 


' First of in this world there are these things called dungeons.  For some reason thousands of years ago dungeons started popping up out of nowhere at first the world was in shock and terrified of the unknown . Until a group actually walked into one but when they came out  they were ten times stronger thus the age of dungeon hunting began. At first it was to get rid of them and find out what they were. Over time civilization forgot why they even went into dungeons. The real reason dungeons started popping up was to balance the worlds power. Seems like it didn't work because the world is as crazy as ever. Leo this of utmost importance always think before you act this isn't the exams  your opponent will not hesitate to kill you.' Vajra said seriously. 

'Understood.' Leo replied with determination in his eyes. 

' mmmmmhmm.' Nova just kept eating sweets she just agreed.



    'Where here The E Rank goblin dungeon'

No Headphones 
His hands flew on the keyboard, playing an unending melody. At times it was slow and culling as a requiem, steady as a sniper's breath, at others it was fierce and violent, tearing through as a tiger's claws. 
His right hand was just a blur. It was moving so fast between keyboard and mouse that it would have put to shame the greatest pianists. Looking attentively, you could have noticed the left rising its rhythm from times to times to fill in for the right, which was riding the wind. 
How can you fight a war just moving fingers? And should that kind of speed bring glory only to a pianist? 
Years ago, it should have. 
But now, 2038, 29th season of Royalest, things had changed.
29 years ago a game was created,  annihilating competition. From alchemy, herbalism, and even linguistics or blacksmithing... You could be whatever you wanted in the game, whoever you might be.
A group of mathematicians and game designers, blessed with investors who made money rain on them, so much money they got even investigated from the antitrust services, developed game-changing, world-class algorithms for a new AI. 
Processing power needed to have this technology functioning superseded any current hardware. But an engineer from Riche, the company who made Royalest, developed a processor never seen before. 
Powerful was all but an insult. It was simply too much, capable of power only God should have had. 
Royalest servers had a technology even military could only dream about. Many nations got close to the company to collaborate, but Riche was impossible to convince. 
Icarus, the revolutionary processor, that made  Royalest reality, wasn't for sale. 
To safeguard their research, the HQ had its own army and defence system. Riche was so rich and advanced that they had a military power that made Russia look like stupid vodka-fueled babies.
A window appeared in front of the player.
[Poisounous Hydras Cove: completed ] 
[1/20 people] 
[Evaluation : SSS+] 
[Drop Bonus: 2000%] 
Clicking rhythmically on space, he looked at the display in front of him; he was reading the new patch notes, while relieving his stress on the space bar. 
"Players needed for Lv 85 and 90 Dungeons lowered to a minumum of 2. @your admins kindly agreed to lower the requirement of people due to people complaining they couldn't scout the Dungeon in pairs. Do not try completing them in two, your favorite social media manager think you'll die horribly, otherwise. XD"
"Some minor bug fixed. @lol I do not know what that means. It's just an habit to put it in."
"Equilibrium system updates now daily for new classes discovered by mighty frontliners and luckers."
"Next week the max level will be raised to 100 subsequently to new zone discovered yesterday from Tha_Supreme_Pimps"
"That's all, have fun with the new Equilibrium changes, but do not engage in muss murder! XD"
Equilibrium made possible to two teams with a different amount of players to face each other without problems. In a normal game, four vs five would be an handicap match. Instead, in Royalest four people would have inflicted more damage in front of five: thanks to this it was called Equilibrium.
The first seasons, the system just performed simple mathematical operations to even the odds on attack and defense; but thid rapidly created imbalances with more offensive-oriented Classes. Later on, the AI started to create subjective fixes, based on metadatas and experimentation. 
Riche thus permitted the ascension of a new pvp. 
It was spectacular. 
Even though the best combination was a 5 people's group, due to the perfect mix of utility, defense and offense, some absurd seasons saw 3-4 people crowned and ruling the competition. 
And now, with the death of the majority of the football-baseball generation, Royalest became the most famous sport in the world. Pros had contracts in the tens of millions and benefitted from a world-spread fame. 
... 
Two players minimum, really? That was his only thought. He always played alone and had never faced level 85 and 90 Dungeons; in fact, he bought his equipment with money earned grinding in Dungeon for level 80 players. 
So, he never had the chance to put his hands on the famous "Legendary Junks"; setting aside the not-so-kind nickname, it grouped under its banner all not-wearables necessary for crafting Legendary Items. 
Damn developers and their "no Legendary Junk for 80s" antics. Did they not love Micheal J. Fox, maybe? 
Anyway, craft! What a wonderful sonata for the ears was that word! 
Crafting combinations were possibly infinite, as the map extension. Only the AI was the limit, as people loved to say nowadays. 
Some people even became full-time artisans in the game, some alchimists and others discovered brand new professions, as stone-mason or architect.
Royalest had no borders. 
At first, only one zone was given to the first players. The rest of the world had to be discovered by frontliners. People created armies and empires to conquer the wilderness, re-enacting politics and economic laws in the game. 
It was so realistic that in-game corruption became an actual skill. Damn humans and their greedy muzzle.
Some people juggled through politics, others through science and in-game technologies. Some people just liked to swing fists and cleared Dungeons, or simply concentrated on the e-sport part.
The game had adventurers, drunk bards, hookers and stupid government taxes all along. 
What could be more realistic? 
Pioneers were given bonuses and awards. 
Their names were branded on techniques, abilities and recipes they discovered.
It was far-west 2.0.
Just this time with less guns and more dragons. 
The game evolved alongside players and this, THIS made it the best game of all time. The limit was what your hand could reach, what your feet could stomp, what your Purple Bow of the Undead God could shoot in the knee. 
From construction workers to PhDs, a lot of people now relied on gaming for a new life. 
Who would strike it rich next? 
Game currency was traded as if it was Euros or Dollars. Not really Yuan, currency couldn't be manipulated in-game and outside.
 Royalest was today and tomorrow dream job. 
Front liners currently faced undeads, dragons, stone-goblins, dark elfs and many more. 
New Dungeons popped out of thin air every day and Legendary Junk was the currency among very strong players. 
I need just one person, how difficult can it be? He thought to himself. 
It wasn't the first time looking for a group, but he always had the same issues. Even while trying to go pro, always the same story.

The hunger that was rising deep within me was quickly pushed down as I sat near my little sister. 
My dear little Adelaide. How much longer do you think you will scurry around from my grasp? My face couldn't help but change when I recalled the cute fight you put up for the control of Frozen Paradise
You thought you had control over our little brother and could rope him to stand with you against me? Haha, naive, naive, naive!
The exhilaration I felt while looking at that face that was normally frozen be filled with anger that day kept me up at night!
Yes. That face. I want to see that same fucking face again. 
Furious emotions erupted out and occupied my mind. My fondness of this bitch was quickly replaced with hatred. She was the only one standing against me. Did she not know the things I was doing to keep the people of this kingdom safe?
What gave her the courage to put up defenses against me? Even someone as powerful as an EPIC ranked adventure heeled under me. I looked to the dark haired woman that was releasing a powerful aura as the anger receded within me. 
The matches happening below us were inconsequential to me as my eyes kept trying to pierce the veiled figure of my pitiful little sister. No matter how many guards you add. No matter how smart you think you are. Under absolute power, what can you do but falter?
Just like this EPIC ranked adventurer behind me. Just like the many that have kneeled before me. So will you. When that time comes...I will see just how much longer that frozen expression can remain on your face.
I retained my calm as I thought about the brand new strength I would be gaining with the possible deals being made in closed doors. People feared the advent of demons in this world, but I see it as an opportunity. 
There were too many fools with rigid thinking running around, and this would cause the death of all of us. Things that were never possible could now be seen before me. Grand aspirations of domination would not just be fleeting dreams. As for those that stood in the way of my dreams? Hmph. 
I sensed the uncomfortable figure besides me as a smile returned on my face. Keep on squirming, little lamb. For I will have you in my grasp soon enough.
---
The fights were spectacular to look at, but it wasn't the thing that grabbed most of my attention. It was the demeanor of the prince that stood near the princess. The facial movements were imperceptible, but I continued to see him shift from glee, to happiness, to anger all in a span of a few minutes
My guard was fully up against this new figure as I continued to observe the matches. The strength of the combatants going head to head was great to look at, and it made me admire the way adventurers and mercenaries rose their strength in this world
The adventurers of this world began at rank F like many of the hunters in my world, and gradually increased their strength overtime. You had adventurers who were blessed with powerful and unique skills early on, with some that would most likely rise to become exceptional adventurers that could even earn the title of Hero.
The strength of the beings in this world rose at a much slower rate than the awakened in my world, but they honed their strength through constant accumulation and experience. A low ranking hunter would start their adventuring in small dungeons and spend months in there obtaining cores and increasing their strength
The skills they had would grow with them as they spent years using and learning them. The damage of an adventurer's C ranked skill could be trained to be powerful enough to the level above if they continued to get stronger. 
This wasn't even mentioning the beasts that were the majority of beings in this world. There were many different bloodlines of beasts, and depending on your birth, you could quickly become strong or remain weak.
An example was the race of Mythical Dragons that had control of and used to reside in the center of the continent. A newly born dragon had much more mana than many other beings, and as they aged they received innate skills of their species while also learning how to utilize essence to form other destructive skills.
They were geniuses when it came to mana, and exceeded many other species in strength. This was also why their downfall shocked so many lesser races and made them treat the threat of demons as a possible world ending calamity. But the dragons weren't the only mythical races in this world.
Another source of their strength was the dungeons that lay all over the world. They were established for a long time with some new ones rarely appearing over time. One of the amazing things I found out about the dungeons in this world is that they granted a random skill to those that cleared it for the first time. So adventurers spent their lives travelling all over the world to amass more strength by clearing different types of dungeons to gain more skills on top of the ones they innately have and train themselves
Higher ranked dungeons rarely granted skills of the same rank though, where a very low percentage existed of a party clearing an EPIC ranked dungeon to actually get an EPIC ranked skill. The established norm after hundreds of years was that the more people you delved into a dungeon with, it caused the reward to be split across everyone. So powerful Heroes who could take on dungeons alone would be the ones to find themselves getting powerful skills of the same rank of dungeons they were clearing
But how could someone of rank S clear an equivalent dungeon alone? Even the most powerful EPIC ranked figures could rarely pull off taking down an EPIC ranked dungeon by themselves, and those that tried spent days to barely make it out with their lives. Thus, figures that could do this were very rare in history. 
A few matches went by as the people around the elevated platforms ate and drank, with the platform where the two siblings were sitting continuing to be an uncomfortable area of palpable tension and silence
I watched as Captain Ryner advanced forward valiantly, defeating two opponents without breaking a sweat. He wasn't joking when he said he was a peak rank S power house. I was probably looking at the future guard that would be following the princess around in the future
I continued to combine skills while the matches were going, gaining new additions of rank A skills, and could even foresee the appearence of the first rank S+ skill. After spamming [Saint's Phantom] consecutively every single second for the entire past night, the skill neared 100 proficiency, and I wanted to combine it with [All Element Resistance] that had also been repetitively spammed and nearly reached 100 proficiency, both turning out to be compatible. These skills were relatively easy to raise as they didn't come with world shattering effects when casted.
Aside from this possible rank S+ skill, covert skills of lower rank like [Dark Assassin] were combined together to produce 3 new covert rank A skills, [Shadow Escape], [Illusory], and [Chameleon's Skin]. These skills were also quickly activated, giving me increased confidence of even those at the EPIC rank not noticing me. 
The process of combination was only becoming faster and faster as I chose more skills that I could passively activate which were compatible with one another. My dream of overlapping myself with multiple powerful defensive skills was slowly coming to fruition as multiple rank B+ skills were combined. This provided me with new rank A defensive and support skills that were [Steeled Muscles],[Hardened Bones],[Wind Armor], [Metal Scales], [Tanzanite Skin], [Yeti's Fur], and finally [Frigid Armament]
Almost all of the rank B skills I collected the week that I spent in the Empire before coming here and ones gained from the Skypeak Nest were spent to produce this many compatible defense and support skills. There were so many that even I had trouble keeping track of all of them, and just continued to keep them active so that I could continue creating combinations of the next rank.
Obtaining an EPIC ranked skill through [Skill Combination] might happen faster than I thought with how efficient I was when I put my nearly endless mana to full use with constant activation of skills. 
The only other skills that didn't really fit into a category but I had plans for nonetheless were [Regal Archer's Eyes] which rose from [Eagle Eyes] and a previously learnt rank B skill called [Enhanced Acuity].
I was enhancing my skills in such a systematic way that it almost seemed foreign to me, with this type of progress even giving me an excited scare. I wanted to grind my active offensive skills similar to the defense, covert, and support skills that I will just refer to as passive skills from now on since they act that way with my nearly endless mana. 
The memory of me grinding [Fireball] in a dungeon as I watched the proficiency numbers go up passed through my mind, and I shifted the plans to visit the dungeons of this world as my next plan of action. I could see an EPIC ranked skill being born in this pathway in at most two weeks, and it would be much less dangerous than battling an EPIC ranked beast while not fully prepared.


Mana. 

A precious and limited resource that moves the very order of the world!

Others have a small amount of it while I have an unlimited amount. 

Have you seen countless fireballs the size of suns rain down? Have you seen entire stars endlessly conjured and thrown to your enemies? 

With Infinite Mana, anything is possible!

The discovery of dungeons has been the task of all civilised races that live above the ground ever since the first dungeon was discovered.
Nevertheless, it has proven impossible to facilitate a unified approach and free sharing of information. All empires, kingdoms, churches, organisations or aristocratic families that spent time and effort revealing the depth and secrets beneath their feet kept their own piece of information hidden from common perception. Holding onto snippets of information like family treasure.

Although public information about the world below has been confirmed much, enough is known for everyone to have an understanding of the dangers and opportunities that may exist.
A key discussion is the various grades of dungeons, according to the depth and amount of mana they contain.
The highest level of dungeon ever conquered by the Civilization was of disaster grade, with 60 S-class warriors deployed and 200 A-class. This had a mortifying outcome, as more than half of the warriors deployed perished. It was not expected that the dungeon would be home to not only one, but two epic rank creatures, the Death Knight and the Doom Knight.

The empires and civilizations that followed have not attempted to conquer dungeons of disaster rank or higher, thinking the reward did not outweigh the risk.

The first Disaster level dungeon appeared about 200 years after the first one. A dungeon of Disaster level was then no longer attainable by any empire or race. Thus, there exists The Island of Abyss.
Formed following the dungeon break of that gigantic island, which destroyed every civilisation that once lived there. The place has become an unexplored area where sightings of legendary dragons have been recorded.

It wasn't until the first Human monarch used a rite to invoke higher beings from another realm that they were spared the threat of Epic creatures. Despite clearing the disaster rank dungeon, which brought peace and glory to the world, a much more frightening foe was yet to emerge.

The Demonic race.

.........…..
[Minion Gnoll has evolved to Gnoll Dreadnought]

[Hidden Quest: Evolve one summon -complete]
[Reward-Summon Capacity increased by 1]

POG!

A ravenous howl emanated from Gnoll's throat before I even had a chance to look at my rewards. His eyes were alive with a hunger for food and battle. With a desire to test his newly acquired strength and muscle, he dives straight into the deep forest.

A huge axe stood in one hand as he carried a spiked shell over his shoulder. His face was covered in metal. It is unclear how this works, but the system provided him with a weapon and armour during evolution.
What if the axe was part of him? This cannot possibly be. Where does a monster get the ability to grow an axe and armour made out of metal?

While I know this isn't Earth, isn't it a little unrealistic?

Well, whatever as long as he's getting stronger it's fine by me.
Oi! Come here!

Zoom!
In an instant, he appeared before me, displaying his speed and agility.
Aside from the fact that his new body made him excited, he seemed grateful that I helped him achieve it.
Yes indeed, it was all because of me! Hehe! I'll drop you if you don't impress me more!

It didn't occur to me that he was twice the height of me?!
Check his status again, let me see.

Is it strange for a summon to be stronger than its summoner?
No, right?
My summons is evolving quicker than I am...if this continues, I won't be able to show my face anymore.
Okay, don't shake your smug face at me, you bastard!
Gnoll's status is looking great as hell. Advanced great ace mastery... although some skills were removed, new and better ones were added.
[Gnoll Rampage- Enhance all stats of entire group, boosting INT, STR, AGI, DEX by 50 for 5 mins]
It's a skill of the support type...huh
A skill of this sort should belong to the summoner, not the summon.
What is the purpose of Gnoll's ability?
Dungeons...the dungeons that I conquered will spawn monsters that follow my instructions but they aren't my summons...
Does the system allow summons to have their own armies?
Yes, that makes sense. There is no way I can command such a large number of monsters once the dungeons begin to sprout, so I have to give their commands to each of my summons.
My demon army is slowly but surely taking shape...how exciting!
The five of you watch out for monsters creeping in this area. I wish to practice mana and aura after I get the mana core.
It is fairly straightforward to train mana shaping. Instead of activating a skill, I hold the mana within myself and then try to purely release it as it is by drawing it out of my core.
Through mana manipulation, I was able to gain a skill that was not part of my status.
Sounds simple.
However, the exercises are mentally exhausting, even more so than manipulating aura.
My mental state would be completely drained by the time I have the chance to hunt if I had to do this every day.
I will definitely embark on another path that enhances my mental capacity during my next evolution.
Since I'd like to try using elements, a separate elemental path would be great. Fire spark, however, is just too disappointing.
The experience reminded me of lighting a match stick. It is not magic!
I drag myself out for the next part of my day after exhausting myself in mana manipulation and not seeing any progress. 
Seeing the three minions still the same as when they were summoned, I feel sad for them, so I must search for more desirable creatures. They must be in pain as they watch their other two brothers become terrific monsters.
The closer we got to the middle of the forest, the more I saw a hill in the open space.
After we reach the foothills and emerge into the open space, I take a second to quickly scan my surroundings using Ghost's ability.
Near the hill, out of the trees, I can spot two massive, dragon-like animals, their powerful tails flicking in the air behind them. They seem to be watching the much smaller creatures with greed in their eyes.
Somehow these guys feel familiar to me, most probably an evolved version of a monster I encountered on the second floor. Comparing these guys to smaller versions, they are easily twice as big, with fangs and claws that are significantly larger, not to mention their strongest weapon, a muscular tail.
When I examine the two creatures more closely, I can see that the tail of one is significantly larger than the others. The scales also seem to have some type of element infused in them.
Could this be a mutation? I'll have to watch out.
Mutated monsters and named monsters... I still haven't found everything.
But it's strange that these two appeared here, I hadn't seen them around the forest all this time.
Perhaps they came here for the monster's nest on the hill?
Huh. If they make an attempt to raid this hill, they will only invite death. The nest has been on my radar for the past few days and no one can steal it from me.
I might even be able to get a level out of these two, and I might even be able to use the mutated monster for fusion.
Once the thought gets inside my head, it is impossible to shake.
Do not let greed lead you to unreasonable actions! I have zero chance of avoiding getting in trouble if I attack here because the monsters of the nest may get involved. That would mean I'd have to fight both mutated monsters and a nest of monsters.
Does that mean I let these two monsters go?
Not at all!
My approach begins in stealth as I creep through the underbrush, finally sneaking up behind the monsters.
Sure enough, they are still sitting on the nest's edge, pacing back and forth as they observe the nest.
Taking a piece of the nest, eh?
Would you mind if I took a bite out of you?
With a chuckle, I look around until I can find a position that will allow me to see a better view. A giant boulder caught my eye, so I climbed it and looked around.
Yes, there are no obstructions to my view from here. Not only a  clear view but also a clear shot.
It was time to lead these monsters away from the nest and take them to where my summons was lying in wait. They just needed a dose of their own medicine.

A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A system, classes, magic, skills and monsters. Sounds exciting? But for Jin it didn't go quite as he expected nor was there a princess or a Goddess to welcome him to this new world, his only hope was the system he received.
Left alone in the darkness of the Great Dungeon will Jin survive or perish?

7 chapters every week/1 chapter a day.
First work, hope everyone finds it fun to read!

His first form: https://i.redd.it/01wk1g5tvke31.jpg

Jack logged in a little bit later than the other employees, since he just fell on his bed and ate dochitos lifelessly for half an hour. 

It wasn't until Elicia barged in and drove him inside the tube that he finally saw himself in the well-known Dragon King Volcanic Island. 

Except, as soon as he re-spawned, hundreds of oil bombs bombarded his whole body. 

"I knew this would happen! Shit!"

The oil bombs wouldn't amount to much in order to hinder or stop him given his dragon senses, but those were magically-enhanced oil bombs. 

What's more, there were even proficiency-level 80 enchantments on some of those!

His sight was the first thing he lose, as soon as he entered the game - and then, the magical fire launched on top of the enchanted oil took care of both his sense of smell and heat perception. He could only taste oily smoke on his mouth as well. 

His Mana Perception would have been fine, but the level 70 magical formation runes under him lit up immediately, jamming his magical means of perception. 

Of course, a Dragon King had many more and much more sophisticated senses than that. His Divine Intent alone was impossible to be hindered by the current generation items and players, except maybe for a few like the Game Mods and the Demon King. 

Still, Jack just didn't have it in him to endure the awful tastes, smells and confusion all around!

He never cared to battle or develop his Skill Trees and level up (besides what he got when killing this and that while digging), so things like a Mages' [Mental Fortitude] and a Warriors' [Blind Fighting] skills were foreign for him when using his Dragon King avatar. 

If it wasn't for his incredibly sturdy Dragon King body, he wouldn't even know how he died in the first place. 

But one shouldn't underestimate a dragons' longing for his gold!

[- ENOUGH!]

With a mighty roar, jack unfolded his wings and took to the skies. Swarms of Volcanic Vultures tried to puncture his eyes, but even a dragoness could barely hurt them, what to say about simple, plain creatures such as those?!

The binding runes tried their best to stop him, but they broke, just like that. 

Jack had reddened eyes and a fire-dripping body, like a demonic apparition from hell. 

That was, of course, one of the bonuses Marcus expected from his actions - making that worthless of a Dragon King a scary and mighty enemy in order to have a good show wasn't something easy at all!

Jack breathed in and unleashed a terrible white fire-like light from his mouth. 

Most dragons breathed elemental fire according to their race, like burning water for blue dragons or lava breath for earth dragons, but as a Dragon King, Jack's breath had all elements in it. 

It was normally impossible to defend against such a thing, but one shouldn't underestimate the might of the Goblin Empire! 

Hundreds of advanced-level mages made use of their level 80 or 90 defensive spells, while level 70 defensive formations lit up one after the other. 

Mercenaries, Guilds and Kingdoms all across Another World were amongst the military ranks - some had joined in for the fun, others because goods and loot were promised. While some just wanted to bury alive this damn Dragon King. 

Jacks' breath shattered the defensive formations and protective barriers all at once, even when the mages and formation masters had expended all of their mana to maintain them. 
Then, it was the time of warriors, paladins, knights, holy knights, griffin mounted warriors and dragon riders to take the role of defending. As the breath descended, hundreds of defensive abilities were activated, but they also fell, one by one. 

In a single moment, hundreds of top-level defensive classes died. And then… the fire consumed the Empires' ranks. 

The game didn't have the concept of "ignoring defense", except with the use of some skills and only when the main and skill level differences were too big, so Jacks' attack had indeed been greatly nerfed by the heroic sacrifice of players and NPCs'. Still, it was just that powerful!

Thousand of NPCs and hundreds of mid and low-level players were instantaneously consumed, but that didn't matter - the high-mid level and high-level players soon began their own counter-attack, while the advanced healing classes such as popes, Great Shamans, Witch Doctors and Great Bishops began resurrecting the dead. 

Not only that, the Empire had distributed a huge number of premium items all across the battlefield, so hundreds of killed high-mid and high-level players came back to life immediately, while others recovered all of their mana and the formations on the ground began shinning again - recovered as if they had never been broken in the first place. 

[ - HEY! THAT'S CHEATING!... I´m out of here.]

Jack, of course, wasn't interested in battle. Rather, he just wanted to secure his treasure! 

Everything else could wait until he did that! 

Of course, since his Spatial Magic skill tree was only at level 10, he couldn't carry all of it at once, but he would figure something out once he found his treasure vault. 

Maybe collapse the main tunnel and wait until the hype dies? - Jack thought. 

- BIND HIM!

The Goblin Emperor shouted at the top of his lungs and dozens of binding formations, as well as meat shields, that is, valiant knights and paladins riding their impressive aerial mounts, tried to block, bind or even body-block the Dragon King. 

The game could have given this Overpowered MOB a lot of power, but the binding formations, the body slams of dragons, griffons and other such big creatures, the binding magic and sorceries, as well as all kinds of restriction skills managed to stop its efforts for a little bit. 

In fact, Jack fell to the ground were, in a few moments, large hordes of NPCs and players swarmed all over his body, attempting to bind and hurt him. 

A certain half-orc passionately hit his right leg while screaming:

- THIS IS FOR MY MOTHER! AND THIS IS FOR MY FATHER! AND THIS IS FOR MY SISTER! 

Lets' ignore the fact that by "mother" he meant "mothers' blessing cape", for father he meant "fathers' protection armor" and by sister "sisters' affection shield" - all items he had grinded through lots of effort and lost when a certain dragon kept collapsing dungeons on his head…

[- Release me… Common guys, just… Get out…. GET OUT, COMMON, GET OUT!]

Jack struggled and, with every movement, dozens would be sent flying. Not only that, his hide was so thick that even being hit by high-level spells and skills, nothing more than a few dents were made on his scales. It wouldn't be until much later, when extremely high-level players managed to Max-Level their main level, that someone would have it in then to cause some meaningful injuries on him.

Swinging his legs and paws as if he was a trapped fish, Jack managed to finally free himself. However, it was too late already. 

A little bit before being tossing Jack to the ground, the Goblin Emperor had already ripped a teleportation scroll and taken control of the Mountain Dungeon Core. 

Even he couldn't expect the things he would find there. 

"Summon Demon [King Guardian Dragon] - The Dragon King Jack has lived many years on these mountains, and his divinity awoke a demon in deep slumber underground. With your powers and by exhausting the mana in the dungeon, it is possible to summon the Demon [King Guardian Dragon] to fight off a mighty intruder on your stead. 

Warning: Summoning the Demon King Guardian Dragon will upset the Balance of The World!"

Marcus couldn't help but grim from one ear to another as he looked at the Dragon-King shaped demon in front of him. 

This thing. This thing was an almost perfect fit for what he wanted to do. 

Of course, in the Devs room, Joe grinned as well.

A story about lazyness and the true NEET life.

Lux faints on the ground after warping the space and reflecting the attack back to the hellhound. The hellhound quickly falls and its body dissipates after taking it's own fierce attacks. One Crystal drops on the ground as it's body dissipates.
It was bright orange in colour and one look at it could already say it was not a normal mana crystal. Everyone rushed towards Lux who had fallen to the ground after reflecting on the hound's attack. 
While this was happening in the outer world, Lux's consciousness was present in his soul realm. He realizes that he has fainted by using a very large scale spell in the heat of the moment in the battle. He had forgotten that he was not in his previous legend ranked body but was in the body of a beginner rank.
So, when he used the spell 'Space Warp' in this battle, he had fainted from his body not being capable of handling the consequence of using such a spell. He cursed himself for forgetting his own identity in the heat of the battle.
If he was in his previous life then, he could use this spell to warp even larger areas without even a strain of fatigue on his body. With this mistake, he realized that he was still in a beginner body and he had to cultivate being more focused to grow stronger. This mistake made him realize his own capabilities right now.
'I should not do things out of my reach right now until it is really necessary.' Lux thought.
He cultivated to regain some of his lost mana for a while in his soul realm and before long, he had woken up in the real world. Time moved slowly in his soul realm then it did in the real world so, in terms of mind Lux was already more than 300 years old.
Just about 10 minutes had gone since he had fainted. When he woke up, everyone was resting while Alice and Crystal were looking at him with a worried expression on their faces. When he woke up, their worried faces changed to a relieved one.
"Thank god you are okay. You had me worried for a while there." Alice says as Lux opens his eyes.
"If you had not woken up then I would have kicked your butt." Crystal also adds up as Lux analyzes his surroundings.
"Is it that you were worried ?" Lux's eyebrows raise upwards as he asks Crystal with a curious look.
Crystal, unable to answer him, looks away and says "Of course I was worried" in a small voice.
"What ?" Lux becomes shocked hearing her answer.
"Nothing!!" Crystal shouts as she kicks him and goes away.
When this was taking place, Alice who was watching by the side couldn't help but just give an awkward smile. She was not confident enough to joke around with Lux like Crystal. When situations like this occurred, she couldn't help thinking on how much they cared for each other.
"Look Lux we have got hold of a really precious mana crystal here." Killian quickly rushes to him after he knows that Lux has woken up. He had already realized that Lux needed some of these mana crystals from the beginning.
Lux becomes surprised looking at the mana crystal in Killian's hand. More than anything, this was not a simple mana crystal and if one would sell this, they would be rich overnight. 
"Okay then I will sell this crystal after we get out and we will divide the money." Lux says as he puts the crystal in his spatial ring.
"No we can't take the money we really don't even need it. Just take it thinking as a gift from us." Gilbert quickly adds up after hearing Lux sharing the money.
"Yeah you take it" Everyone agrees with Gilbert on this topic.
They basically had no use of money and even though it would be a large amount, they would willingly give it to Lux who had helped them so much. Lux looks at them and realizes that declining this offer would not be good as they were eager for him to take it and he also required the money.
So, he just smiled and went on to other topics.
After a while of instructing everyone on their fights with the hounds, Lux goes and opens up the chest which was in the middle of the whole area. Inside there was nothing more than a piece of stone. 
This stone was their ticket to get outside of the dungeon. But, as Lux's target of gaining the Sword of Hell Flames was not complete yet, they went even deeper in the dungeon.
They continued their journey to the other regions of the rock-lava terrain they were in. Along the way, they defeated many hellhounds, even some occasional hellhounds and other monsters like the lower tier fire spirits and some fire bats. 
It had already been half a day since they had entered the dungeon and according to Lux's calculations, they should already be in the inner parts of the cave. He didn't know how powerful the boss monster that was present in the cave was, so he was only planning to have a look. 
Considering the monsters they had fought until now, he was more than 80% sure that it should not be anything powerful. But still, he was on his guard all the time. With the help of his instructions, his group members quickly learned new techniques to deal with the monsters and also improved their battle experience and knowledge.
They were also learning at a really frightening rate. No one would believe they had only started fighting the monsters from today if they looked at their battle skills. After a while of walking, they suddenly reached another area. 
This area was completely different then the ones they had seen until now. The whole area was surrounded by flames making it look like someone had used Flame Field to surround it. But, these flames were even more fierce and dangerous than a field that even an advanced rank mage would cast.
In the middle of the area was a big structure. They went near the structure to see that it was the statue of a great dragon. While everyone was in awe looking at such a great statue. It looked like a live dragon that was covered by white stone. 
Lux was totally surprised when he looked at the statue. It felt like he had seen the statute somewhere before. He tried to remember where he had seen such a statue before. 
Then Lux remembered where he had seen it before. It was in the file of the 6 monster Dragon Kings. This dragon statue before them was the Hell Dragon who ranked number 5 in the 6 monster dragon king.
Before he could tell the others, the whole area started shaking and the flames surrounding them got even more fierce every second. They looked like they could burn them to ashes before even a second passed. This was not the only problem as the statue before them started cracking.
Suddenly, the whole area was hot as hell and everyone was feeling it's effects. Alice quickly casted Water protection on them and enclosed them in a ball while Lux also supported her using "Blessing of Fire" on them.
The extreme burning sensation they had before was gone but they still were affected by the heat of the area. Even Lux was frightened by such a temperature.
After a moment, the whole area stops shaking and the fierce flames also clam down. They all think that the restlessness of the dungeon has finally stopped when Lux spots the real disaster.
The Hell Dragon statue which was there was no more. Instead, there was a Drake version of the Hell dragon present there. Lux didn't have any idea where this dragon had appeared from. But, he had some vague idea on what had happened.
Among the different races of monsters and humans, there was one creature that was at the peak of the world. It's powers were truly frightening and destruction was the only thing that followed it everywhere it went. It was the mighty Black Dragon God "Olethros".
It had killed all the other dragons that once were present on the earth with only some who followed it. The some dragon's who followed it were the 6 monster Dragon Kings. Only some dragons survived and ran away while forming a group that could destroy Olethros.
After a long wait, the 10 gods came to rise and they all together sealed the black dragon Olethros in the heavenly realm and made dungeons which sealed the other monsters too as they would cause problems for humans if kept together. The 6 Dragon Kings were also sealed in some dungeons and this dungeon "The Hell's Gate" was clearly one of them. It was actually as the name suggested a gate to hell.
These dungeons had been scattered in the whole continent and nobody knew where the dungeons containing the dragons were. Lux was actually the first one to spot such a dungeon. Even in his previous life, there was no one who had spotted such a dungeon and also those people who found this dungeon had not reported the nation about the whereabouts of the Hell Dragon.
Although, the one present before them was a drake version of the Hell Dragon, it was powerful enough to beat even a 20 legend ranks. Unless 2 nations formed an alliance, they could not fight this dragon. If Lux was in the form of his previous life's body, he would have no problems beating this dragon. He could have also battled on equal heights with the continent Dragon Acadia.
The only thing left for him was to break through and nothing more. HE could have already been considered on a rank between the legend rank and the god rank. The Pseudo-God rank.
Lux, knowing this, quickly tried to activate the stone that he had got from the chest to get out of the dungeon. But, to his surprise the stone was not working. Just from the presence of this mighty drake, the stone had stopped functioning. 
All the other group members were terrified looking at the hell dragon. If not even a 20 legend rank mages could beat it, them fighting against it would be as easy as blinking its eyes. 
"Quickly run towards the other area we came from." Lux commanded them as he too started running away. 
All of them, unable to comprehend this situation, followed Lux without asking anything. They were near to the exit of this area when the flames completely blocked their way. Lux looked back to see where the drake went but, to his surprise it was completely roaring as flames came out of its mouth.
It saw Lux and his group and started rushing towards them at a really frightening speed. Although it was smaller than it's Dragon form, it was still a Drake which was only half of the size of its dragon form. But, even with such a large form, it had a truly frightening speed. It quickly caught up to them.
Lux, knowing that they couldn't escape if it chased them, handed the escaping stone to his group members and told them to run away. He then turned back ready to face the Drake which was charging towards them.

The continent of Acadia which is named after its continent dragon has 7 major nations represented by 7 dragons. The conflict between these nations have exceeded more than a thousand years with many wars breaking out between them. These wars are fought by the Magic Casters (Also known as Mages) that are regarded as the warriors or the protectors of the nation. When the nation of Wyvern was about to fall, one man defeated all the other Magic Casters and protected the nation of Wyvern alone. Seeing the powers of this Mage, the continent dragon Acadia gave him the title of #1 Mage. He was a legend who alone defended Wyvern and tried to resolve the conflict between these nations. But, he was unable to resolve the conflict and was brutally murdered while attending a banquet for peace negotiations. He has been reincarnated as his younger 14 year old self due to the powers of the God's ring that he possessed. Will he be able to resolve this conflict after being reincarnated or will he fail?
