“What are we going to do Master Udon?” We had been hiding out at the top of the volcanic mountain for the past three days, the only upside to this was that our Low Heat Resistance had grown to mastery level 7. I had Vnaa and Umi unlock the Low Heat Resistance skill, it only cost them 5 SP so no real damage.

“They don’t seem they are willing to adventure past a certain part of the volcano, it must be to hot for them, but they’ll most likely get some players to deal with it” I told Miko sitting back down after looking out from the small cavern we were in

“Would the dungeon put out a quest in hunting us down?” Umi asked

“I have no idea, if The Creator is the one to put the quests out than I highly doubt it, but the towns people might just pay some players that are passing by to hunt us down, a sort of off the records quest” I was sure black market quests like that existed, it seemed that was majority of the slave trading in this dungeon, paying people to kidnap innocent kids and woman and then selling them for a profit.

“I think we should try and get down from this mountain, like you said Hero Udon, players will be coming here soon” Serena looked out and pointed to the stationed people half way down the mountain.

“Hmm, I think if we go at night we might be able to go across the volcano towards to snowy mountain, there we should make our way to the desert” I still didn’t know how we were going to get back down a floor unless I teleported with my Gem, honestly I didn’t see what in the world we could do, no matter what floor we went to we would be hunted, we can’t take on the boss as well.

“Damn it!”

“Master Udon, please calm down”

“No! This is bullshit! I can’t believe I’ve been framed again! I got framed for bullshit in the last world and now this world as well! What the hell is wrong with people!” I couldn’t hold it in, I was beyond pissed, I had just found the slightest bit of joy with this group and now I get framed!

“In the last world?” Umi tilted her head confused

“Master Udon, did something like this happen before?” Miko said softly, she was the only one that knew I wasn’t from this world in this group, she had been told I came from a horrible life but she didn’t know any of the details, and I plan to keep it that way, I don’t need pity.

“I’m going to kill Neptune”

“WHAT!” The four girls shouted out, even Vnaa knew how ridicules that sounded, to kill a God, it sounds so stupid and impossible

“Gods are only high level players, if I can get the quick attack on him, I’ll be able to kill him” I was thinking of poisoning him with one of my seeds

“Sir Udon…”

*Bang Boom Kaboom!

“What the hell was that!?” I ran out of the cavern and looked towards the town, it was on fire, smoke was coming from the whole town, it looked like a massive explosion

“Its the criminal, he has attacked the town!” One of the man posted on the watch shouted out…

“Oi! Dick head! I’m still up here!” I shouted out waving my hands side to side above my head.

“Huh?” The group fo man stood there dumbfounded, they couldn’t comprehend what was going on, they were probably told I had been the one responsible for blowing up their town somehow but had now seen me right in front of them, the only thing that they should be thinking is they’ve been lied to. How are they even communicating? Is it some type of skill? Mind chat or whatever it was called maybe

“What do we do?” I heard their voices travel up the mountain with the wind, thanks to Miko’s enhanced senses she could hear them clearly and was translating for me.

“They are going to leave the post and check on their town, apparently Neptune had met with the God Nino and than right after he left the explosion happened, he is blaming it on you Master Udon” Surly the towns people aren’t that stupid? I mean, come on, really.

“Come on, nows our chance to get moving” I picked up the backpack and started making my way down the volcano towards the snowy mountain

“We aren’t going to help them?” Miko asked

“Why should we? They not only threatened us and are trying to kill us, they bullied Vnaa and called her a monster, to me, this is what they deserve” I had no patience for people like this, in all honesty I was thinking of coming back here and ending every last one of them, make sure karma hit them hard.

“Rival Miko, we must look after ourselves before anyone else, these people wish to harm us, would it not be idiotic to go and help them?” Umi was starting to see my way in a lot of aspects now, I don’t know if that was a good thing or a bad thing though?

“I suppose you have a point, come on Vnaa” Miko held Vnaa’s hand and headed out the cavern, we made out way down to the base of the volcano and were now just at the edge of the snowy mountain

“We have been here before right?” Serena looked around a little scared. This was the place we came when we set out to rescue Miko from the overgrown squid, Serena doesn’t like the water so it’s understandable she wouldn’t want to be back here.

“I told you they’d be over here!” A loud voice came echoing through the mountains. We looked over where the voice came from and saw a familiar face, but I couldn’t remember where from

“It is I, the allegiant and dashing Sword Weapon Hero, Laimus” Laimus flipped his blonde hair back and gave us a wink

“Eww” Shivers were sent up my spine, that was disturbing

“Did you just say eww, to me? You just said eww to me? Do you not know beauty when you see it? You might not be so bad yourself but, you do not hold a candle to me” Laimus gave another hair flip

“What do you want” I replied in an aggressive tone, the angry reply made Laimus back off a little, is this dude seriously a hero weapon

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

“I have come to take you in, your criminal ways shall not continue, but do not worry, you have the honour of being captured by the allegiant and dashing Sword Weapon Hero” Laimus held out his weapon, the hilt of the sword. The hilt started to shake and than a blinding shinning silver sword erected from the hilt

“I promise to not kill you, I may break some of those gorgeous bones though” Laimus licked his lips and charged towards us. What the hell! Is everyone in this world a freak!?

*Clang

Umi grabbed her Sea Trident and blocked Laimus’s sword

“I see, a beauty as yourself would be of no surprise to me in your strong ability’s, but your beauty is nothing in comparison to me, you filthy demi-human” So his a racist as well

“Umi get back” Serena let her claws out and swiped at Laimus causing him to jump back

“You bitch! You dare cause an imperfection on my magnificent skin” Serena’s claws managed to scratch the side of his left cheek

“What kind of freak are you? To surround yourself by demi-humans, do you not know how to attract the female human? These girls maybe of some beauty, but that does not mask the disgusting scent of their Demi-Human ways”

“Freak? What the hell is wrong with you!? You are nothing but a pretty boy obsessed with his looks! You are nothing but a shallow little boy!” Calling me a freak? I know he was luny but really

“How dare you! Shallow? Me? Ha! You make me laugh! I might just make you my own personal slave, yes, I quite like that idea, and when I am done with you, I’ll cut off your skin and use it to improve my own” What the flipping hell did he just say!

“Master Udon, his to strong for us, the other players behind him seem to be closing in as well” Miko pointed out the group of 20 players inching closer to us, damn it!

“This might buy us some time” I managed to throw a Grenade Seed at Laimus, the seed exploded sending a couple of the players back, but when the smoke cleared Laimus and the other players held up their shields and were unaffected

“Papa Udon” Vnaa stood in front of me ready to fight

“We just need to make an opening for us to run away, be cautious of your surroundings, and don’t try and be a hero” I ordered the girls, we were ready to fight

“Ha! Just give up already” Laimus charged forward, I managed to step around his weapon and gave him a hard elbow into the guts. I felt the chain mail armour he was wearing, but I could hear him gasp for air.

*Clang

Umi had charged and jumped into another player taking him down, she blocked the attack of a swordsman and swang the hilt of her Sea Trident into another face knocking them out.

“Hiyah!” Vnaa managed to run low and fast slicing at two players knees, they fell down and rolled around in pain, she then jumped up and gave a clean uppercut to another player, she was knocked out immediately.

“Heh, we aren’t so bad” I mumbled to myself

“Master Udon, please stay focus” Miko called out, she was taking four players on, parrying and dodging their sword swings, she managed to slice the side of one and then kick another pushing them back, she smashed the flat side of her dagger into the girls head and gave a hard backhand with the hilt of her dagger into the last player.

“Useless! You are all useless! I supposed their is no one to blame but me, this is what cheap services get you” Laimus stood up straight getting his breath back, so he had hired a bunch of players for this task, it would explain why they were so weak

“I do apologies, my normal party would not be as weak, you see, I came down here looking to kill some Ancient Floor Monsters, I left my party on the higher floors. I assure you, they are not only strong but extremely beautiful, I will introduce you to Mike, he is a strong, muscular warrior, I’m sure he will enjoy you, my girls might also want to take a turn” Laimus licked his lips again, I could see the saliva dripping from his mouth, it was enough to make me want to vomit

“That is enough!”

“Huh?” I turned to see a piece of bread getting thrown in between Laimus and my group

“What is that?” Laimus cocked his head confused

“Over here” A voice whispered behind me, I turned to see no one and than turned back to the bread, it had let out a hissing sound and not to long after, black smoke emerged from it and covered the area in a thick black cloud

“Lets go” A hand grabbed me and forcefully pulled me away I managed to grab Miko’s hand and Umi held on to Vnaa’s and Serena’s following us

“That was a close one wasn’t it” The person who had grabbed my hand had taken us half way through the bottom of the snowy mountain, we were resting inside another small cavern by the lake

“Who are you?” Sitting across from me was a small child boy, in a white cloth robe with a red cape, he had blue hair and wore a brown Montana Peak hat, in other words a rangers hat with a white feather, he had hazel eyes and eye brows and fair porcelain skin, next to him was his a staff with a drinking gourd and a basket full of bread.

“You do not know who I am?” He spoke in a small boyish tone, you know, before his jewels have dropped, he had a slight high pitch voice.

“No clue” I replied to him

“That is fine, I am known as the God Nino De Atocha but you can just call me Nino” I stared at him, emotionless, he can’t be serious, this is a God

“Hero Udon, are you quite all right?” Serena asked

“Look kid, thanks for the assist, but we can take it from here, go play Hero some where else” I got up and looked out the cavern, it was night time already

“Master Udon, please don’t be so rude”

“It is quite all right, I understand where he is coming from, I do not look like the other Gods, despite my young looks, I am rather skilful and powerful” Nino grabbed his staff and held it at me

“What are you doing?” I moved the staff to the side and stared at him

“I-I am challenging you? Is that not what you wanted” He looked a me a little confused

“Challenge? Why would I want to challenge you? I don’t have any issue with you” He just looked at me utterly confused, is this what people first thought of when they came to a disagreement, just fight it out?

“I am the God Nino, is there no way for me to convince you?”

“Would it come up under your stats?”

“I can allow that” Allow that? Is there a way to manipulate stats? That just makes me question his claim to being a God even more

Nino De Atocha:

Level: 60

Species: Faction God

Guild: Adventurers Guild

Faction: Nino De Atocha Faction

Guild Rank: God Leader

“Hmm, your stats does say you are a God”

“You still don’t seem convinced” Nino looked at me a little defeated

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a God or not, why did you help us back there?”

“I assume you are the one that is being blamed for setting that town on fire and killing Aquarus?” Nino squinted his eyes at me, was he trying to capture me himself

“I did kill that piece of shit overgrown squid, but I did not set fire to that town” I gripped my sword ready to block

“I know, please calm down, I am not here to harm you, I know that Aquarus was the true culprit behind the town getting burnt down, I also know Neptune was the one what ordered him to do it and gave him the Cursed Fish Spear. When I felt it’s presence on my floor I came to destroy it but when I arrived at the place I sensed it, I found the dead body of Aquarus along with a completely destroyed section of the forest.” Yeah, that was my bad. I looked away and rubbed the back of my head

“Hmph, I supposed it could have been worse, I went to face Neptune about what had transpired but he arrived at my home before I had the chance, he denied ever doing such things and asked me to relinquish this floor to him, I of course refused and he left in a fuss, that was when my building exploded and I came to find the ones he asked me to capture for him” Neptune was trying to take control of this floor, assassinating a fellow God and Faction Leader, surly there is repercussions for such actions.

“So what do you want with us?”

“I want to help you” Nino smiled at me walking next to me and glancing across the calm peaceful lake

“Why would you help us?” This all seemed a little to convenient

“That’s simple, I believe I am a fair God, if someone is getting falsely accused I need to help, it also doesn’t hurt to get revenge on the God who was trying to kill me” Nino’s sincere smile turned a little wicked one as he turned back around to face me

“What do you plan on doing than?” I asked, if he wanted to help than I wasn’t going to stop him, we really need all the help we could get

“I think we should…”

“Found you!”

“Argh!” A Golden Trident impaled Nino’s chest and pinned him up against the ice wall

“What the!” I turned from the bloody spatter that had been created from Nino, to see Neptune standing on massive demonic looking sea horse.
