Laced in the pain he felt a void, thoughts untouched by the emanating waves of shredding power, just out of reach from his conciousness like nuggets of gold hidden in the spark of sunlight on a rushing stream.
"I don't have all day" a heavily armored gryphon riding woman cut the chatter, "my name is Rose and I suggest we start this quest".
The group looked at her asserting command but most of them were experienced enough not to bother arguing about who took point before even getting the quest brief.
"Why should we listen to you?" A man chirped from her left.
"You can stay here if you like" she cut him before he could say anything else and started walking towards the house.
Allen was waiting by the door and when they came up the hill he started narrating from the quest script.
"Yeah sure, but who the hell are you?" Rose asked when he finished.

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
"That is a personal question' do you really like me that much?" He answered from the shuffled list.
"Are you a fucking npc?" She was getting mad from being surrounded by fools.

"Do you know who I am?", her jaw clamped audibally and she was ready to kill that clown before calming down.
"Fine" she said from clenched teeth, "take us to your stupid basement"
He turned and opened the door, to their left was a downward staircase lit by magical orbs that shifted colors when a player moved below them.
"These are god damned appraisal orbs" one of the mages called from the back, "each is worth a fortune", looking around at the walls and ceiling he was shocked, "who builds a house from fucking null bricks?"
The group started chattering up their finds, the house was built from rare and costly materials, stairs decorated with monster tusks, walls made of magical grade materials, it was like some lunatic developer with too much time on his hands macroed out the most expensive construction site possible.
As they descended the stairs one of the players pushed forward until he reached Allen.
"I will pay you 500 gold for a tour of the house after this quest", he said pulling out a small sack of jingling coins.
[System: notice AllenP would you like to show your house to players for <500> gold? YN]
"I will give you a thousand if you take me first" a woman cried from behind.
The auction was raised up to 5800 gold with the system correcting the amount before Allen could reply, before it came to blows the parties stopped and negotiated coming up with the sum of 7500 gold which allen accepted.
They reached the place where the construction tools were left but no bodies could be seen, deciding to split up and check the 3 entrances while leaving one group as backup for anyone that came into trouble.
The ship rose with the tide and was soon moving slowly towards it's destination under the starlit sky.
