You are the first person to dicover Cave of truth
Everyday for one week double EXP and double item drops. The rarest items will drop from killing the first monster of each type. Subsequent kills will drop common items.
The cave appeared pretty normal to Cynthia as she ventured further. The only thing weird about it was the absence of monster of any kind. The cave looked like it went on pretty deep and there were no traces of light to be seen. The only source of light in the cave was what little light leaked in from the entrance of the cave. After some thought she decided to check if her dragon eye is capable of seeing in the dark.
She activated it partial form on her head and was delighted to see that it worked.
Night vision (passive)
-automatically activates when its dark
-partial form must affect the eyes for this skill to activate
She continued walking into the cave with her tail still out and her head in partial form. The night vision worked like a charm as she looked around the cave and noticed the cave had weird markings on the side of the wall. She suddenly remembered she has yet to check what stats her tail provides. She called out her stats.
[quart=Character Name:,Alignment]Dragonica,Neutral[/quart][quart=Level:,Race:]91,Dragon of Darkness[/quart][quart=Profession:,Title:]none,none[/quart][quart=Health:,Mana:]11000,11000[/quart][quart=Strength:,Agility:]1100,1100[/quart][quart=Vitality:,BloodLust:]1100,1000[/quart][quart=Wisdom:,Intellect:]1500,1500[/quart][quart=Luck:,Leadership:]950,950[/quart]
She had leveled up by another 5 lv from her killing spree outside the cave. Her tail had a rather long range of attack which allowed her to easily kill multiple demons earlier outside of the cave so the fact it only boosted the strength, agility and vitality by 100 was really surprising she was expecting the boost to be less than that. Closing her stat window she continued onwards.
-Drake POV-
Back in the city of artist Drake and the other 3 survivors were surrounded by users who weren’t allowed out yet as they questioned them about what it was like. Drake wasn’t too keen on explaining it so he decided to leave the explaining to the other 3 people who survived 2guys and 1 girl. As he slipped away.
The girl explained to the players that the demons were worth a lot of experience but a single hit could kill them if they didin’t have a shield. The other 2 guys said the same thing but with much less detail. Drake went to blacksmith and went up to the guy behind the counter asking how much he can sell the loot he obtain from his hunt. He got a rather good amount of gold for it that he used to buy better equipments more suited to his current lv. It was rather overpriced so he had only a couple of silver left after his purchase.
Leaving the shop he saw 3 familiar faces. It was the survivors of the demon hunt. The girl came out first and introduced herself as Selena. The 2 guys followed suit and introduced themselves as Arc and Terose
“We decided to team up for tomorrow demon hunt and were wondering if you would like to form a temporary alliance with us.”
“Sure” Drake quickly replied thinking of the advantages a party would provide.
Selena invited you to join her party
members in party 367
members alive 3
will you accept
Yes No
You have joined the party
Drake said goodbye to them and went to a noble to accept the quest since he was now in a party with more than 100 members.
In the other Kingdoms survivors which usually range between 1-5 players were busy giving advice to the lv 1 players who could exit the town the next day.
-Cynthia POV-
The deeper she went into the cave the bigger the cave looked and eventually she came up to a huge door. The door had a seal on it. She decided to try out a skill she learned from her reading spree
Identify beginner lv 1(0%)
-identify items or objects
“Identify”
Seal of strength
-only players with more than 100 stats in all stats you have are allowed to open the door-
Cynthia then attempted to open it and true enough the door easily opened. She walked into the room behind the door which was basically a huge hall with torches on the many pillars that lined the hall. She walked a little further into the hall when a horde of harpy like monster flew down from the sealing surrounding her. Thanks to the light from the torches she didn’t need night vision so she deactivated partial form on her head and proceded to activate it on her wings and kept her tail on. She flew up and did a turn in the air using her tail with dragon impact hitting all the harpies instantly killing them as they flew in different directions and fell to the ground. From the ceiling more harpies flew down and launched themselves towards Cynthia who quickly used her tail to block their attacks and used her fist to punch them away. Due to her insanely high strength even a unarmed punch was capable of killing the harpy in a single hit. She continued killing the harpies that were pouring down. After killing all the harpies she had leveled up another 9 times and was now lv 100. A message popped up.

After carefully reading the skill Cynthia decided to not use it on anyone except maybe someone she knows. David came to her mind but she quickly shaked the though of it away as she procceded to go further down the hall. The hall started to shake a little and from the roof came a huge crow like monster. It had only one leg but on that leg it had claws big and sharp enough to easily grab and pulverise the pillars in the hall. It had huge black wings accompanied with some spike like growth protruding from the top of the wings. Its beak and eyes were covered in some kind of metal.
Cynthia deactivated her tail activated it one her head and breathed out her black flames towards the crow monster. The crow monster dodged the attack and procedded to grab a pillar pull it out and throw it at Cynthia. She deactivated partial form on her head activated her arm and punched the pillar with dragon impact obliterating it into tiny sharpnels of rocks. The crow monster was suddenly right in front of her and it used its leg to grab Cynthia and proceeded to throw her to the ground with all its strength.

Cynthia reactivated her partial form on her head and deactivated it on her hands and breathed black fire out that hit the crow monster instantly killing it. She checked what the crow dropped

She took the mask and equipped it. She decided to log out for the day and continue on Monday because of her rule of no playing on Sunday.
After logging off she checked the royal road forum and wasn’t that surprise to see the only topic being actively discussed was some tips and tricks on how to kill the demons.
-Drake POV-
The next day on Sunday Drake and all the other players got ready to attempt to kill the demons a second time. The players who are gonna attempt it for the first time quickly seeked out players who tried it before for protection. Some parties decided to team up. Drake ,Selena, Arc and Terose got ready to go out together with the rest of the party Selena being the leader.
As soon as everyone in Drakes party was ready they charged out of the city ready
to fight the demons. Looking at the scene immediately made some of the players panic. The demons they fought yesterday were still there but there was something none of them expected. In the field stood a gigantic minotaur . The players immediately tried to get some distance from the minotaur. The minotaur noticing their presence came charging. The minotaur rammed into a group of players instantly killing everything it touched.
Drake, Arc, Selena and Telrose decided to avoid the minotaur for now and target the demons first. Drake shield charge into a demon knocking it down. The demon was then killed with the combine attacks of 20 players hitting it. Drake immediately turn around and shield charge to another demon knocking it down and then he procedded to power slash it as players swarmed the demon he knocked down killing it. This went on till Drake and the players following him Lv up by a considerable sum.
The minotaur was still claiming hundreds of lives as the players fighthing it fell one after another. Drake decided it was time to fight the minotaur as he charged in with shield charge. Hitting the minotaur with it, following his charge was a slash from his sword. The minotaur immediately tried to hit Drake with its arms. Drake dodged it. Then proceeded to slash at the minotaur again. All the other players who were still there joined in. After one really long battle, they won.
The casualties the minotaur inflicted was tremendous as there was only about 24 people still alive. Drake was among the survivors and with the Levels he gained from the minotaur he had more confident in his chances against the demons.

The surviving 24 players spent the rest of the day hunting the demons together.
-Demon king POV-
“How long can it take to find one girl” The demon king shouted at his secretery clearly enraged
“My apologies sir but the creatures there are trying to kill the demons we sent there.”She calmly replied .
-Cynthia POV-
On Monday Cynthia went to school like every other day guys stopped approaching her to ask her to join their party but David still talks to her. He invited her to lunch again and she accepted since she saw no reason to refuse the offer. After school she went back home did her normal routine and logged back in.
In the hall Cynthia continued walking forward to see what the place had at the end of it. There was a pedestal and on the pedestal there was a single orb with a very realistic looking eye on it that covered ½ of the orb. She went closer to check what it was.
The orb of Truth
-Anything that stares at the eye of the orb for 10seconds will be forced to transform to their true form.
-works on NPC, Players and monster.
-Things forcibly transformed can’t transform back for 1 hour. Players can’t log out in that time frame.
Cynthia quickly turned away but it was too late. She started transforming into her dragon form. As her body grew larger it eventually reached the ceiling of the place and continued to grow even further destroying the ceiling. Cynthia immediately tried to use her wings to get out and she succeeded crashing through the roof of the ceiling and breaking out of the place in her full dragon form.
-Drake POV-
Drake and all the other players who were fighting the demons stopped fighthing for a while and stared at the huge black dragon breaking out from the ground quite far away. The distance was pretty far but the titanic dragon was impossible to miss.
