I can finally sleep!, since the last night that I lack sleep, playing Martial Era can be thought sometimes.
"This feels so surreal, the whole thing, the summons, the walk, the appraisal, this beautiful ornamented room, this body too"
But it is not, actually, this can be said to be one of the most thrilling moments in the life of any teenager student, but I am very calm.
"Maybe is this body, I used to be a hardcore player and Jin Chen already saw carnage and destruction, but that’s impossible Minesh said that she created her and not that she created the whole world with her story attached to her"

"So if I want to play with my character again, I need to do an agreement with you?, I will do then"
"First, what I will do is something that will change my world for good or evil, so I need to make things clear, you will be my envoy, whatever I order you, you will do, if I say, go kill, you kill, go protect, you protect, if I say become a bitch, you become a bitch"
"That’s, harsh you know?"
“Believe me, the reward is worth it......for some......Anyway I will make sure the orders are something that you could do and I will give you opportunities so you could avoid becoming the breed doll of an almost extinct race, another thing you will let me have is complete access to your body, so I could talk in the mortal plane, in exchange you will have the opportunity to enjoy your character, I am clear?"
"YES!"
"First let me see what is all this fuss...HOLY MOTHER OF ME!, that’s a hell of a character, is like a demigod!”
When I heard the words of Minesh I couldn’t contain my pride and started to talk about how I made my character this powerful and how I ended up so involved in the game.

Flashback
This addiction started when I started creating my first game character in Martial Era, by the name one could say is an oriental myth based game, were one could be a martial artist in the world where serpent-like dragons, tigers bigger than a mountain, turtles with unbreakable shell and birds that emanated fire can be challenged.
The main story is of a simple kid with a tragic past, he becomes an orphan because an evil sect, were given to him/her the opportunity to hold a cultivation manual, then he mastered the first stage, who is the most simple of the cultivation, the “awakening”, this made you take notice of your own meridians and with that you are now able to go and join any sect to continue your journey of vengeance in this martial world, you can also discover this world secrets and making you in one of the most prominent cultivators of your time.
As the story says, the game have a certain amount of sects that were available to play, the sects where one decided the style to play, Ninja sect, for assassins style, Imperial Guards sect for the tank style, Scholars sect for Fighters style, Onmyoji sect for mages style, Samurai sect for the warriors style, and the gender-exclusive sects, the Taoist sect for males this is a combination of a warrior and a mage style and the Deadly feather sect for females that were like a sword dancer.
But in the beginning of the game there was one more sect, it was called the Sacred Beasts sect, it was an opening exclusive sect that was only available for the first month of Martial Era, I regretted choosing this sect the first time I played it, all the sects have their own descriptions, so the player could have an idea of what style he will to play, for the Sacred Beast's sect it was the solo style and the description was something that could be say that called attention.
[It is the only sect that decided to not go against the heavens and earth, but decided to go with them, since this Sect was founded for the four sacred beasts, the warriors of all world tried to learn their techniques, but now, no one wanted to even see of this sect. (For masochists only)]
The last words fit the experience in that meaning of the world, first, the characters that come of this sect have a great de-buff, the amount of experience needed to level up grow to the insane, a normal character could max his level in half a year, my character needed at least more than 2 years to max his level, the other characters only need to master one weapon, mine needed to master four.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
I mentioned that the mastery of the weapons is linked to the level too?, then it comes to the meridians, I said it before, but this is an oriental based fantasy game, the meridians can be said to be an important part for the game, they are power-ups or pluses that the character could gain, they are also linked to the levels if you want to know, and lastly all classes have their own exclusive quests to do.
Apart that the quests also have their own weapon mastery quests, the important ones are to unlock the crest, the crest is a tattoo in the body of your character in a certain part of the body that gives special characteristic to your character, the special characteristics are of each sect, so all players can have it, for example, for the Samurai sect, his crest is a tattoo of a sword in the sword hand that increase the power, dexterity, speed and precision of his attack if he uses a sword.
My character tattoo is the symbol of the four sacred beasts under the yin-yang symbol in the back of my character, they increase Dexterity, Defense, Speed and Constitution a little, like 10 points and elemental damage depending on what symbol of the sacred beasts I activated, when I find out about it I decided to make my character be based on strength.
The real question is if the players could unlock the special characteristics, when it comes to these quests, my character have the worst, normally the player only need to clear a dungeon to complete the quest, fast, simple and easy, but mine no, I needed to harvest exclusive items that only I can obtain of certain monsters with 10% of probability to drop, it was the same quest, over and over again, the only change was the amount I needed of that item increased, then it came with the weapons quests, all of them representing the four sacred beasts.
Seiryu a katana, Byakko a pair of claws, Susaku were a pair of fans and Genbu it was to train with gauntlets style, I needed them to be in a certain level to have the final quest, and last but not less is the final quest, that is to win to the four sacred beasts, Suzaku, Genbu, Seiryuu and Byakko.
Maybe one will think, but separated not?, no, the one versus one was before the final, the final is the four sacred beasts at the same time, as one can understand this is a raid quest, mean to be completed by a big group of players, but I was not that popular with the other players and for me to hire them I need to give them cash items and money, so much that the month before the raid I was almost without a thing to eat, so I can save money, it was harsh, but I complete the quest.
It was at this moment when all my hopes come true when I report the completion of my quest it appeared cinematic where the four sacred beasts transport me to their cave, then an epic speech of how I made it through all the challenges, and they want me to become their child.
I don’t know if this part could be different but since I decided to complete all quests, have the mastery of all the weapons to max and have my crest almost complete, I was given the option to become the four sacred beast's child at the same time, I will never know I was the first in my server and maybe of the world!......naah the world no, there are persons like me or worst that will do the things I did.
Since then, I can have the form of a small and blue oriental dragon, a red phoenix, a white tiger and a black turtle with a serpent in the tail, to make things better I have complete control of the four elements, Water, fire, wind and earth, or in-game standards, I can put elemental damage to my attacks and the cost of all original elemental skills halved.
Oh I almost forgot, when I receive my reward of the four sacred beasts my character meridians opened, another handicap was that the meridians of my character were in a semi blocked state, I could power up my character but it was less than a quarter the normal amount, to tell the truth, I forgot of this when I saw that it was not worth to take care of it, and it was less worth when the incident that gave me the cheat that now I enjoy so much happened.
The last thing I got was four sets of gears for the four styles I have, that were when my joy was to the point that I could die happy, then I fainted for exhaustion after an hour of celebrating.
The morning came and it was school day, so still with great difficulty I go to class, when I reach my desk I check my items ring, yep you heard it, the game has the spatial ring item instead of the item bag, I bought all the expansions that only were a change of color in the ring, and now I have enough space to hold 99 times 9999 things.
Sadly when I was going to enjoy beating the other players in the pvp arena I was summoned to become a hero with my class and now here I am.
End of the flashback
----------------------------------------
"You were a hyperactive boy, now I feel tired of just listening to you, and that character of yours is broken, to have so much power"
"Well then that’s all you need to know"
"Whatever, give me a minute"
I waited and in the end, the goddess Minesh give me one last chance to take back my words.
"Are you sure you want this?, this can be heart breaking in some cases"
----------------------------------------
End of the flashback
A flashback inside a flashback, that could be a good idea if you know how to make a joke about it.
"Well, apparently I was wrong Minesh never say that the story so far will not affect my mind, this could be a problem if I meet a person with the same appearance as the villain in Martial Era, good thing is that the chance is 1 against a number so big that it will need to be invented of chances to happen"
While I was almost going to arrive in the dreamland I hear a familiar goddess voice.
[Enjoying your body I hope]
