As I was sleeping I woke up in a palace for some reason. I was in a huge bedroom but I had no idea how I got here. I exit the bedroom and starting heading out, what I saw was twin doors close shut. When I touched the door it took a small drop of my blood and then the door open.
When I walked through I found a beautiful girl sitting on the throne. She had long black hair with red eyes just like me. She was about my height in 5, 8. The thing that was the weirdest was that Ophis appeared to right next to her.
Mysterious Girl: “So you finally come.”
Deadman: “Yeah I guess coming is one way, some people call it kidnapping though.”
Mysterious Girl: “Sorry you can call me the Phantom Goddess; I called you here because I needed to speak with you.”
Deadman: “I see.”
Phantom Goddess: “You don’t have to be suspicious of me, I came to help you. You are the Maou of the Phantoms and Death with the sin Laziness. It’s only natural that I help my husband.”
Deadman: “I’m sorry say what? “
Phantom Goddess: “I don’t get what you mean, but I see that your mark is forming and I came to help you by giving you information and something else to.”
Deadman: “Ok then I have a question why did you summon me now?”
Phantom Goddess: “Your pet was the reason I’m able to talk to you. It was the pet of the last person with similar attribute but you’re rare. You became the successor of the phantom gods which actually became extinct millions of years ago. What is remarkable is you also became the successor of death.”
Deadman: “I see, will this happen to my friends to?”
Phantom Goddess: Yes each one of you is successors of certain gods, titans or omnipotent beings. They will be talked to when they find their pet. Even though you are all Maous you can still receive blessings or inheritance. 7 omnipotent pets which go to the 7 successors.”
Deadman: “You said that I’m the successor of death but I don’t have any blessings or skills from him.”
Phantom Goddess: “That’s what I called you here for I came to give you the inheritance of death. Once your friends find their pets they will get their inheritance from their associated beings
I will grant you the passive skill [Foresight] it will be max out.
You will be immune to hidden attribute Spirit.
Every level up most of your stats will go up by 10.
Lastly you get to pick 2 skills and I will level them up by 1.”
I only have 3 skills that are able to level up the rest are max out. Here blessing weren’t all that helpful but I guess it’s better than nothing.
Deadman: “Ok [support drones] and [phantom].”
Phantom Goddess: “Ok you will see the results when you wake up I also applied the stats to the two levels you went up yesterday .Do you have any more questions?”
Now that she said that I was curious on hidden attribute.
Deadman: “You said hidden attribute, what are they specially?”
Phantom Goddess: “Ok, hidden attribute are special. They can only be encounter if you experience pain that have that attribute. Some can be combination of elements or something entirely different. The attribute I gave you is Spirit which mean ghosts or anything related to spirit damage can’t affect you.
You can also find codex books to be immune to certain hidden attributes but you can’t find it for the regular attributes or stats.”
Deadman: “Ok thank you, one more thing. Why did you call me husband?”
Phantom Goddess: “That easy because our powers are the same and we are destined lovers.”
Deadman: “…”
Phantom Goddess: “Oh I almost forgot, I will grant your mistresses with unique classes that will serve under you. They will receive the class when they swear loyalty to you. They will never be able to hurt you ever. ”
Deadman: “Ok thank you for the help.”
Phantom Goddess: “Wait I have a question for you.”
Deadman: “What?”
Phantom Goddess: “You’re not going to kill yourself to save the others are you?”
Deadman: “I have a question for you; since the moderator knows my life do you know as well?”
Phantom Goddess: “Yes, the device links your brain so I seen your whole life since birth.”
Deadman: “Ok then this will be simple; I’m not going to kill myself so that players can leave, they will have to earn it. My whole life has been crap and now I can make others feel how I felt in the past, who wouldn’t want that. I’m pretty sure I can speak for the rest of my friends in that players are going to have to kill us before we kill them. That’s the only way for them to leave.
As soon as I said that I woke up. I equip the barrette I got from Berserker with the extended mag I got from Crimson and decided to look at my stats.

Deadman: “This is gamer’s dream, why I would ever want to leave.”
I was about to leave the inn but I saw Transient Ocean at the door way.
Transient Ocean: “Hey Deadman are you about to leave?”
Deadman: “Yeah why are you standing there?”
Transient Ocean: “Crimson said we everybody should party up in 2s so I picked you.”
Deadman: “Your class is Elementalist with Monk right?”
Transient Ocean: “That’s right, where’s your little fox pet?”
Deadman: “Ophis sleeps during the day and only comes out when it’s dark.”
Transient Ocean: “I see, should we get some quests?”
Deadman: “Alright.”
I don’t know her stats but we should be able to handle the simple quests. What I notice though was people gave her 5 quest with monster subjugation but when I wanted quest I didn’t get 1, I had to go to the bulletin board. Discrimination is clearly seen in this encampment. I wonder if I should go to the cybernetic cities or towns to get better quests.
We headed out and the closest monster we seen was level 3 goblins. Transient was looking at me but I didn’t notice her and I sent out two phantoms. Both were side by side waiting for my orders next I used pulse
Goblin LVL: 3 (Rarity: Grey)
HP: 300
MP: 0
Physical Attack Strength: 35
Magic Attack Strength: 2
Gun Attack Strength: 0
Physical Defense: 20 Magic Defense: 15 Gun Defense: 0
These were weak goblins with their gun defense being 0 my damage should be around the 600s. Transient didn’t say anything and I sent out an order for my Phantoms to shoot the other two when I shoot.
1…..2….3
*bang *
-592
*bang *
*bang *
-592
-592
Interesting it wasn’t in the 600s; oh I forgot to send out the drones. They should of move by their own. Maybe I might have to be in combat first.
Transient Ocean: “So powerful.”
Oh crap I forgot she was there. Oh well not like she could do anything yet. From the looks of it she still had the basic weapon for a monk.
Deadman: “My bad totally forgot.”
Transient Ocean: “Its ok our exp is link so whatever exp you get I also get the same amount since where in a party.”
Deadman: “Oh, I didn’t know that is that the same way for bosses?”
Transient Ocean: “Yes and No, if a person get the last hit they get 50% more exp while everyone else get the exp that was required for beating the boss.”
That was some good information, but there has to be a catch. There’s no way that the game will allow that with no penalties.
Transient Ocean: “You’re thinking about the penalties right? Well the more players you have in a party the more the gear will less likely drop. So if a gear has a 25% drop rate, a party of 2 will now have 20% drop rate.” It decreases by 5% for every additional party member.
Damn that’s brutal, well it seems soloing is better but with the monsters high health and the benefits of respawning in a party. It would seem likely that people will party up.
Transient Ocean: “Also did you get any titles?”
Deadman: “Oh so you can get titles, no I haven’t got any lets continue, how many goblins do we need to complete this quest?”
Transient Ocean: “About 16 more they should be near a village”
I used pulse and found 2 villages north and west about 250 meters of us however no hostiles were sense. I decided to send out both drones to the villages sense we both see the same thing. The drone in the north spotted the goblins heading to the north there’s a problem though so I recalled the drones and told Transient Ocean the report.
Deadman: “The goblins are heading to the north village but there’s about 100 of them.
Transient Ocean: “What do you think we should do?”
I know what I should do but I don’t know her stats. The village is about 250 meters away. If we run we can get there in 40 minutes by running. The goblins will be there in an hour so we have 20 minutes to prepare when we get there.
Deadman: “Transient let me see your stats real quick.”
Transient Ocean: “Ok”

Damn I have to comment, I do know that this class could be very powerful in the future but as of right now she’s useless, her physical strength and magic is impressive but the problem is the amount of goblins.
Transient Ocean: “It’s bad right?”
Deadman: “You said it not me”
Transient Ocean: “Don’t worry; I do know how to defend myself so I won’t be dead weight.”
Deadman: “Alright lets head out, judging by the size of the group they must have a leader so we have to be prepare.”
Transient Ocean: “Wait how did you know about the number of goblins and direction there coming from.”
Deadman: “Oh I forgot to tell you these 2 drones are also my eyes, whatever they see I also see. I can send them about 600 meters away from me now. Also the phantom do the same damage I do so it’s like its 3 of me.
Transient Ocean: “Ok that makes sense now and I didn’t want to spoil the mood earlier but I can see the stats of enemies when you used your skill.”
I see so party members can see my pulse, that can be helpful in the future.
Deadman: “Ok let’s head out we should warn the village ASAP.
Transient Ocean: “Ok”
We headed out to the village but one thing bugged me. How the hell is this quest rank grey with this difficulty? Well it’s no point in arguing over spilled milk. This quest should be easy with my plan camping.
