No One stepped away from the game pod.
He took a deep breath and stretched his back.
The sound of bones crackling echoed.
His room was moderately sized. An entire wall where the window was flickered, as if detecting No One's departure from the simulator. It began to display the outside scenery, like a transparent pane of glass.
A high-tech city. Now it was nighttime.
Red, blue, and purple lights made the city look quite exquisite.
Countless cars were speeding on the highway, swarming like ants.
The view was beautiful.
It was already dark. A little past 7 o'clock.
He picked up his phone to start ordering food.
After placing the order, he conveniently opened up the news pages of the First World.
There would be a guild meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
Most of the current news was about the new classes.
Ring ring
A call notification appeared.
It was Lady Lam.He answered the call.
"I'm here.”
He was immediately brought into a meeting with other guild members.
More specifically, it was the raid team for tomorrow's dungeon.
Hana, Lady Lam, Sword of Love, No One, and two others were part of it.
Each person's name came with notes written by Lady Lam.
【NEW - Hana - Musician/Bard/Priest】
【Lady Lam - Paladin/Warrior/Priest】
【Sword of Love - Phantom Blade/Swordsman/Sword Cultivator】
【No 11 - Blade Dancer/Bard/Sword Cultivator】
【Cherished Dream - Onmyoji/Taoist/Mage】
【TwinBird - Falconer/Archer/Assassin】
The dungeon they planned to tackle tomorrow was the Tomb of The Immortal Blade. The current difficulty level was Pioneer.
The usual difficulty levels for the dungeon are Easy - Normal - Hard - Hell.
However, newly released dungeons only come with two difficulty levels, Pioneer and Godlike.
Among these, the monsters are even stronger compared to the Hell difficulty.
In particular, Godlike only becomes available after clearing Pioneer once.
The distinction with the Godlike difficulty is that only four players can enter the dungeon instead of six.
However, the monsters are designed to be even harder than in Pioneer.
This is essentially a "game for dogs to play" level difficulty.
After the Pioneer difficulty is beaten, a week later the dungeon will incorporate the other four difficulties.
Meaning, only within that one week can players risk challenging the Godlike difficulty.
This is the ultimate difficulty level. The game does not force players to complete it.
The rewards displayed for this difficulty are amazing.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
But until now, more than a year since the game was released.Over the last three major updates.
No one has ever conquered the Godlike difficulty.
Up to this point, the community is buzzing. It's being speculated that to unlock the Main Storyline, players must overcome the Godlike difficulty.
The game developers have not answered any questions about this. This only adds to the mystery.
The dungeon will open three days after the update announcement.
Tomorrow, No One's party will first experience the Pioneer difficulty.
They use the term "experience" because the entire team is not certain they can conquer this difficulty.
"I have some bad news." Lady Lam sighed, attaching a link.
No One clicked it directly.
It was a teaser introducing the new dungeon. These are usually posted the day before the dungeon opens.
"I've waited long enough."
A voice, resembling a roar, echoed, sounding like that of a dragon or a large monster commonly heard in the game.
"Foolish humans."
"It's time to awaken from this illusion."
From the darkness, a gigantic monster gradually emerged.
No One was startled.
Its fur was pure white, with a metallic sheen.
Fierce fangs.
It was it.
The monster from the stone wall at the Society In Black.
The White Beast.
"Cool, anything interesting?" Sword of Love asked while watching.
"Read the last part," Lady Lam said, pulling her hair in frustration.
At the end of the teaser, only one line of text appeared.
No One was shocked.
Except for Hana, who hadn't grasped the situation yet, the entire chat room seemed to scream in unison.
"WHAT!?"
『Only Godlike Difficulty Available.』
"What is this?"
"What does it mean?"
"Quick, call customer support! Ask for clarification!"
All the expert players eagerly awaiting tomorrow's dungeon were caught off guard by this news.
No Pioneer difficulty? Only the Godlike difficulty, which no one has ever conquered???
The whole chat room was in a frenzy, discussing among themselves.
Only No One stared at that line of text without looking away.
He smiled.
Could such a good thing be true?
No One had "tried to persuade" the guild to tackle Godlike many times, but it was always rejected due to its difficulty.
This time, he didn't expect the group to agree to attempt Godlike.
Who would have thought the difficulty would skip straight to Godlike, bypassing Pioneer?
It's beyond his wildest dreams.The forum nearly exploded. Countless posts questioned the developers' choice.
A brief status update on the official game's social media account further alarmed everyone.
"Once the Tomb of The Immortal Blade dungeon at Godlike difficulty is conquered, a new level cap of 79 will be unlocked.
At the same time, many new functions and systems will be introduced in the game. We hope everyone will join together to open a new chapter in the history of the First World."
The entire community was even more excited!
What is this!?
Level 79!
Players have been stuck at level 69 for nearly a year. Since the game's release, the level cap hasn't been unlocked.
Is this dungeon event going to unlock it?
This update is just too much!
Worth the 6 months the entire community has been waiting for!
And there are new features???
Even now, data-miners are more productive than ever, digging into the game files.
Someone even posted on social media but had to delete it soon after, seemingly due to pressure from the game developers.
"Here's a list of some things I found:
Immortal Cultivation System
Many new maps, larger than the current First World map.
7 new BOSSES.
Over 300 new gear and weapons, with more than 10 red weapons.
An item to transform all class weapons into red weapons."
Oh my god!!!
Red weapons! Divine Tier Weapons!!
The stats of Divine Tier Weapons are about 20% higher than Epic weapons.
However, the terrifying aspect is their special effects and abilities.
Currently, across all servers, only 3 red weapons—or Divine Tier weapons—are known.
However, only one of them is a true Divine Tier weapon, while the other two are merely symbolic gifts.
One is a symbolic weapon for last year's World PVP Champion, Zui. It only has the stats of a gold weapon, but it includes special animated effects.
Another is a symbolic weapon given to the Pioneer of the first instance in the First World, the Guild Leader of the Eastern Joy Club, MaGold. Its stats are only equal to the gold weapon from that instance, but it has additional animated effects, without affecting damage or anything else.
The last one, the true red weapon.
It's the Blade of the Moonchaser!
The weapon of the Immortal Blade!
Even though the Immortal Blade doesn't carry the weapon, standing in the City of Azure Flames.
Mages with 【Appraisal】 can inspect the equipment of the Immortal Blade.
The weapon of the Immortal Blade is marked in red!
✧【Blade of the Moonchaser 】✧
✧【The stats of the Blade of the Moonchaser depend on the user's level.】✧
✧【Legend has it that long ago, the Immortal Blade, in a drunken state, chased after the moon across the night sky. When morning came and the moon had vanished, at the edge of the world, there was a sword floating between heaven and earth.】✧
✧【Effect [Moonchaser]: When health is low, attacks from the wielder are true damage, unavoidable, and guaranteed to be critical hits.】✧
✧【Effect [Blessing of the Immortal Blade]: Damage dealt is doubled.】✧
✧【Effect [Starshifter]: Every 5 seconds, allows a short-range teleport around the wielder. If in critical health, this teleport can return directly to the nearest city.】✧
✧【"Choose the destiny of this world..." - Immortal Blade】✧
Three effects, each more potent than the last!
Someone once asked if players could obtain the Blade of the Moonchaser.
The game developer replied, "Yes!"
This response further excited the players.
The dungeon this time is called the Tomb of The Immortal Blade.
The final boss has been confirmed as the Immortal Blade.
This implies that if someone defeats the final boss, could they actually obtain the Blade of the Moonchaser!?
