I woke up face-first on the dirt, and stood up while complaining "What the heck was that about? Dropping me in a random ass field when I go through the portal for no reason. This is freaking annoying, how am I supposed to have my wish granted if all that moron did is throw me into a random field, and why is it so damn windy, my clothes are blowing all over the place. Wait, my clothes? My clothes! Wheres my armour! MY 25 MILLION GOLD ROBE OF UNDYING LIGHT! ALSO WHAT ABOUT MY BOOTS OF THE SPIRIT KING! THAT SHIT TOOK ME WEEKS TO GRIND FOR! Oi, you damn conman of an Immortal, Gimmie my shit back! I demand compensation!" I continued to rant and scream for a couple of minutes in the empty field as the grass swayed in the wind.
After I finished venting my anger I noticed that a couple of undead were wandering near me, probably attracted due to my excessive yelling. I sigh and brush the dirt off of my blue shirt and gray pants, and move my hand towards the undead and cast Greater Holy Banishment but I was interrupted by a little blue box popping up in front of my face.
Unknown spell
"Hah? what happened? Did my spells glitch out or something? Whatever, lemmie get a mana potion from my inventory so I can cast some fireballs at the very least". I opened my inventory to find it empty, save for a few items. There was a newbie starter gift box but nothing else. "Wheres all of my gear..why isn't it here...Oi oi oi What did you do to my inventory, you shitty Immortal! First, you steal my equipment and now my inventory?! What kind of lame prank is this!" It was then that I noticed that the undead was very close by, almost within striking range, so I stepped back and said "Fireball!".
...
...
...
Nothing but a teeny tiny pea-sized ball of fire came flying out, going in a wobbly line towards the undead before popping when it hit the undead in its face, startling it. I repeatedly shouted the same spell again, thinking something was wrong with the spell "Fireball! Fireball! Fire-"
Insufficient Mana
2 more tiny pea-sized fireballs flew haphazardly towards the undead before harmlessly popping against its chest before I was prompted with the insufficient mana menu. "What the hell is wrong with my spells.. and why is my mana so damn little, even at near 0 mana I should be able to cast a few hundred fireballs." I open my status menu and nearly died of shock as my eyes figuratively shot out of their sockets.

I stare in shock as my brain stopped functioning due to the big fat 1 sitting next to my levels section. "My...my levels...my gear...everything, gone! 9 years of hard work are all poofed away because of a stupid portal I walked through..." I collapsed to my knees before staring at the sky while screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!". The undead that was nearby simply tilted its head sideways and gave me a look of confusion as if it didn't know what was going on.
After I screamed until my throat hurt, and the tears stopped falling, I got up and blew my nose on the undeads sleeve before going "Thanks for the napkin dude." and patted the human-shaped figure before receiving a sharp pain in my hand. "Ow what the hell dude! Why you bite- oh right your an undead." I say as I realized I blew my nose on the undead's sleeve, and he didn't look too happy about it either. It seems its brain started to function again my screaming ended. I quickly backed up after punching it in the face to free my hand. "What should I do, I don't have any mana and I have no weapon. Oh right, the starter gift box!"I opened my inventory and quickly tried to use the item. what appeared in my inventory was some old leather armour with several holes in it, a few days worth of food, some daily necessities as well as a rusty iron sword that looked like it was left in the rain for a few months. "A swords better than nothing I guess, eat this ya shitty zombie!" Clank
...
The sword snapped in half, leaving me with the handle and half of the sword, while the other half flew off into the distance before embedding itself into the ground. "That's uhh, some nice armour you have there. Real strong too." I give it a few raps with my knuckles before smiling and saying "Well it was fun chatting with you, but I gotta run so, Cya!" I punch the undead as hard as I can in the face before booking it. I started sprinting but was annoyed I wasn't sprinting 200mph anymore. Man, that was so useful, I would accidentally kill dragons while travelling and gain free exp. It made levelling up a whole lot easier, it's going to take me forever to get all those levels back, damn that Immortal for stealing my levels. I hear the zombie growling and screaming as it starts sprinting towards me. The thing about this game is that the undead aren't slow like other games, they sprint like Olympic athletes to chase you, it's very scary when 50 Olympic athlete zombies are sprinting at you ready to rip your face off.

I turn around and curse saying "Why are you still chasing me?! Go break a leg somewhere! I really need to increase my levels and fast because I hate being this slow and weak." I search my inventory for something I can use and notice 2 butter knives that come with the starter pack. "These will do I guess," I say while turning around and swinging the butter knives at the zombie. To my surprise, the tiny things cut off his arm and cut straight through the iron armour covering the zombie's arms. The very same armour that broke my iron sword. "Oh come on! Why are butter knives sharper than a sword?! This is bull!". I kept swinging my butter knives of doom and stab the zombie in the neck and sever its head from its body. The thing gave one last groan before blood went spraying in a fountain and the body collapsed. [+ 50 exp for slaying a lesser zombie]. "Haah, haah, god damn zombie chasing me for a whole 2 miles just to kill me...but what the hell is this butter knife made of? it cut straight through the bone." I inspect the butter knives using Appraisal and got a rather large surprise. "WHY ARE MY BUTTER KNIVES MADE OF ORICHALCUM?! WHO MADE THESE?!" I then noticed that the knives had a description attached when I appraised them.
Knives made by an Immortal to use when eating. Made from Orichalcum. Can only be used in combat a total of 10 times before they destroy themselves and get replaced by Iron utensils. Combat usages left: 9
It seems that the items made by the immortal are rather op, but the damn combat usage limit is annoying. "I'll have to be careful from now on, I don't want to waste the remaining 9 combat usages on random mobs. That would be a complete waste. Better save these for later". I stow away the items into my inventory and pull out the broken iron sword. "Guess you'll have to do for now. How come the body isn't disappearing and turning into loot yet? That's weird, it doesn't take this long usually. Is the game glitched because of me completing that event? I don't think the devs expected someone to actually reach level 10,000 and finish that event. Also, I feel like I'm missing some very crucial fact that would explain this whole situation, is there some big sign staring me in the face somewhere that would tell me the answer? Whatever I'll just pull up the map and see where the hell I am". I use the map function and a holographic map appears in front of me telling me where I am. "The field of lost souls? Where the hell is that? Oh there's a dungeon to the west, guess I'll head there for now. I wonder if there's anyone there that can tell me what the shits going on with my missing levels. Oh right, why don't I just message a GM? Where the hells the GM contact button? Wheres most of the menu features like the logout button, settings, and other stuff? Weird, the game must be pretty borked if the logout feature isn't showing up. Man, this blows." I scratch my head while searching the various menu's to see what else is missing. "Guess I got no choice but to head to that dungeon for now, The neurobay will automatically log me out after my session expires anyway so no biggie." I started running to where the dungeon was located, following my maps directions.
After 2 hours of constant running and stabbing undeads that got in my way, I stop to take a break. "Why am I not getting to the dungeon already, it said its like 5 minutes away. What's the map say, let's see..display route I walked for last hour, hmm...I'VE BEEN WALKING IN CIRCLES THIS WHOLE TIME?!" I scream in frustration while flopping onto my back. "Y'know what, imma just stare at the map and keep looking at where I'm going so I don't do a repeat of the past 2 hours.
I did exactly that and watched the map while walking, which turned out to be a very good idea as I got turned around completely in the wrong direction more times than I can count. Eventually I made it to the dungeon, which looked like someone scooped out the dirt from a hill and made the entrance that way. It had stairs leading downwards into it with crystals that emitted light, as well as some moss that glowed in the dark, growing in the darker areas of the dungeon. "Well it doesn't look like anyone's parked outside of this dungeon, so I might as well head on in. Looks like its a weak dungeon, judging by its looks but I might as well put on this leather armour from the starter pack. Cant be careless and die because I got cocky and made a dumb mistake". I opened my inventory and equipped the leather armour that was in the starter pack. The armour itself was very old and had a couple of tears and small holes here and there. After suiting up I head into the dungeon and decided to appraise the glowing moss out of boredom. Turns out the moss was rather useful, even though it looked weird. "Medici Moss? That's new. What does it do? Hmm, oh it's used in low-level healing potions and other medicines. No wonder I haven't seen this before, Its just low-level stuff I stopped using after level 50. Seeing as I have about 0 gold to my name I might as well collect some to sell". While grabbing the moss and stuffing it into my inventory I hear a Boing Plop Boing Plop coming from the hallway connecting to the next room. I looked over and saw a massive shadow bouncing over to me, about the size of a dumpster. "Seriously?! A greater slime?! Shouldn't this be a lower level dungeon? How am I supposed to deal with that at level 1?!" I abandon the moss and pull out my Orichalcum butter knives while prepping a ball of ice, all the while the thing kept Boinging over in my direction. Eventually, the slime went around the corner and what I saw made me feel stupid. It wasn't a Greater slime...it was just a regular slime that had its shadow enlarged due to the positioning of the light crystals. "You little annoying piece of crap. Imma beat the ever-living crap out of you for scaring me like that!". I put away the butter knives and grabbed my trusty broken iron sword and swung it at the slimes core. The slime dodged the attack and jumped at my head. I tried dodging but tripped on the moss I threw away earlier. It latched onto my head and started to drown me after wrapping around my head completely. I shot the ball of ice at the slime and froze its exterior a bit, and then proceeded to punch that and try to yank the slime off. I managed to free myself and before it could react I stabbed its core with my sword while gasping for air.
"I really hate slimes...they're little devils I tell ya. I don't know why girls all love to hug these hellspawns, but they do. It baffles me." I shake my head and put the slime jelly into my inventory as it could be sold for money as well. After finishing my moss collection, I headed towards the area the slime came from and entered the second room of the dungeon. The room had 3 slimes and 6 goblins that were roasting a horned rabbit over a fire. "Looks like this dungeon has horned rabbits. Sorry you ugly green freaks, but I'm going to have to confiscate your lunch, I say as I crack my knuckles with a wicked grin. Looks like this dungeon was going to be a good one, even if it was a low level one.
