City Inn, Doveria,
The day had begun. The sun shined brightly in the sky. Small patches of clouds were floating in the sky which looked like cotton candy. Kai woke up when the sunlight softly touched his face. He looked around the place and saw Arnold snoring loudly. He broke into a smile but immediately became serious.
"Yesterday, when he found out who I am, he just started asking too many questions. Why I hid it from him? How did I become a God? Yesterday I just ignored his questions by saying that we would talk about this tomorrow. but, how am I going to tackle this situation?..."
"What happened to you, dude?" interrupted Arnold looking directly in his eyes.
"Woah...nothing... It's nothing," assured Kai.
"Ok, now tell me why did you hid it from me and how you became a God?" questioned Arnold.
"Well, I didn't want to tell this to anyone because I believe it's not necessary to know it. As for how I became a God, I did a legendary quest called
<
"Never heard of it..." doubted Arnold.
"Well, because there are only a few quests that grant a player the status like <
"You mean the system that lets you decrease your current level to match a person's?" asked Arnold
"Yeah, that one. By the way, The players referred to me as
'THE ASTRAL GOD' as you know. But, I don't remember how exactly I did that quest. I even received a few moves or spells by completing the quest <
<
"That explains, how you get that move for me,
<
"Yes, that move I gifted you was also a reward to me when I completed the quest. If you want to see my real stats then..." said Kai as he slid his left hand in the air.
"What! YOU ARE AT LEVEL 110?" blurted Arnold"
"Yes, You see in the third update the Level Cap went all the way up to 200. So, I just drank <
(Heavens Fluid is a potion which is a legendary rank item which can be obtained by doing Epic Quests. It can level up a player by 10 Levels.)
"Ok, that explains everything you said," said Arnold
" To tell you, I am not the only God that is in existence, There must be two more. They are more powerful than me," said Kai.
"What! Is this some kind of joke?" blurted Arnold
"Listen, when I completed the legendary quest known as
<
The other two must be related to TIME and DESTRUCTION or CHAOS." explained Kai.
"How can you be so sure about that?" questioned Arnold.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"See, There are three main elements that control the working and balance of a universe, Space, Time and Chaos. If space and time regulate and decides the living period of a living being, Chaos or Destruction regulates the balance between Space and Time. When I contacted the makers of this game, 'WarCraft Online', they didn't provide me with a satisfactory reply and wrote that this function is a glitch and they couldn't fix it. They told me to not use that ring because they didn't know the side effects of it. Also, they denied the existence of a legendary quest, " explained Kai.
"Yeah, I too haven't heard of any legendary quests." agreed Arnold with the game developers.
"But as the current situation explains, something or someone from inside the game is controlling the quests and to make it worse the game is our only reality. If I am right the other two will surely show up sooner or later, just pray that they won't turn out to be evil."
"Yeah, if one of them turns out to be evil then this world will surely become a battleground and the first one to burn would be the Players," said Arnold.
"I can't say accurately but I guess the other two rings had been
discovered." said Kai.
"Well, how can you say that the other rings had been already discovered?" questioned Arnold.
"It is... it is because I am able to sense the presence of another energy, just like mine, " answered Kai.
"Ok, so can I ask something?"
"Yeah, sure."
"First, can we eat something I am really hungry and Second, Can you show me your true strength?"
"Yes, but for that, we have to go to the woods."
"I have a better plan, "
"What plan?" asked Kai.
"Let's take a quest from the NPCs and then fight the monsters," replied Arnold.
"Nice plan, let's find an NPC who could give us a quest," suggested Kai.
"Ok, as you wish, Astral God, Kai." teased Arnold.
*******
Outside City Gates, Doveria
"At last we got a quest each." panted Arnold
"Yeah, luckily we got an epic quest. For completion of these quests, we need a raiding party."
(Raiding party consists of four parties of eight members each and then combined into a larger group known as Raiding Party. A total number of players in a raiding party is 32. Raiding Parties are specialized in raids and fight in front lines to defeat monsters.)
"So, how do we get one?" asked Arnold
"There's no need of one. My true strength is equal to a whole party. So, we just need to contact some of our old friends and plan a raid." explained Kai.
"I think we should contact, Mia, Richard, Jason and Chris," suggested Arnold.
"You were always slow, Kai already called us, " interrupted a voice.
"Woah, Kai you really are
something" said Arnold and punched Kai on his forearm.
"Ouch, Arnold stop teasing me and it's time to reveal it to them, "
"You mean that thing," asked Arnold.
"Tell us what you two are
discussing." said a guy in a Black Leather Tunic.
"Kai will tell you, Jason, Kai it's time," said Arnold.
"Guys, today I will reveal my biggest secret but, promise that you won't tell anyone," announced Kai.
"Yeah, we promise that we won't tell anyone," assured Jason on behalf of everyone.
Kai hesitated a bit but Arnold calmed him down.
"So, guys the one everyone knows as <
"What!!!" everyone said in unison, not believing their ears and what they heard right now.
"Is it really true?" asked a guy in a hooded cloak
"Don't joke around Kai." warned a girl in a kimono.
"I will kick your butt off if it's a joke." warned another girl who wore shorts and a jacket.
"Chris and Mia, he is not joking. I already witnessed half of his strength yesterday," informed Arnold.
"Besides, Kai is a guy who rarely cracks a joke but, not this time... look in his eyes, that depth and seriousness, he is speaking the
truth" added Jason.
"Let's get moving, we have a long way to travel, " said Kai.
"Oh ok, let's do it together," said Jason.
"We have to go to the Juniper Hills, just west of here," told Kai and took out a scroll from his bag that hung loosely beside him. He unfolded it and a map of the whole Glacia Islands came into view.
"We are here, at Doveria and we need to go here, " said Kai pointing to a place in the map.
"It's near the capital city of the Gracian Empire," said Jason observing the map carefully.
"It will take at least 12 days to reach there and God knows how much the fight will take and then return trip will take another 12 days." clarified Mia.
Kai, Arnold and Jason looked at each other and broke into laughter.
"What happened, did I crackled a joke?" asked Mia annoyingly
"Nope but, I will just say wait and watch," said Kai.
The three of them took out a flute and blew it.
Riii.... Riii... Riii...
Three creatures came flying at great speed towards them. They glowed in the sunlight.
"Are... Are..."
"Yes, They are Pegasus"...
