Richard's Point Of View
Go after the summoner. that was my objective, and sure enough I did, but when I got there, I saw Sachi on the ground unmoving in a Hells Prison spell that prevents movement / existence, Sachi shouldn't have ran off ahead like she was as invincible here as she is outside the game, I turn to the left, I was brought to an abandoned building on the edge of the city that was torn apart and giving off a very ominous glow. sure enough I saw 1 opponent inside the building, I thought it would be simple, it was just a single summoner.
"why did you do this? what was there to gain?" I asked while walking towards the summoner with a slow but cautious pace and he smiled at me with a twisted smile that brought discomfort to look at.
"I did it because I could, we did it because of the 500G reward" he said with an even more twisted smile....
"wait... 'we'?" I said but it was to late, 2 summoners were either side of me and their power was nothing to laugh at. I was bound with Mana and a summoned creature called a Ruined Hellhound which was about to chew my head off, lucky for me I was not the only one who found this place, this being a big online game I guess I should have expected more, the Mana binding me was broken as a arrow had embedded itself in the head of one of the summoners causing it to explode with a fire enchantment power shot combo, the Hellhound was not known for vitality and especially not a ruined Hellhound. 5 quick punches to the jaw and it was dead and I stood side by side with bowman who fights to close to be sane. he should be located at least 30 meters away but nope he shot the summoner from 5 feet away. I like him already.
"well we are stopping you for the experience points and I am doing it to test my new bow" said the bowman who was literally called Bowman. a elf with no hair and green leather gear. this comment seemed to annoy the summoners. I still don't see how they summoned the giant, maybe it was using an item? but they are normally heavily restricted to either players or story missions
(Round 1: Fight!!!)
I used my super human speeds to get behind one of the damn identical twins summoners and kicked his ass... figuratively and literally. he was dead in 23 hits. mages never have good vitality do they? to be fair my movement speed made it much easier to kick his ass.
I turn to the mage to my left and he has an arrow stuck in his head, the mage to my right has . that was easier then I thought... why isn't there a message to say we did it? to say we won? I saw another mage running away in the distance, I was not about to let him get away so I ran up to him faster then he could move and went to punch him, that would have been it. but then it finally hit me what could have been going on.
"Fire Cutter" I heard someone say from behind me, I then felt me health drop like a stone, I looked down at the sword embedded in my chest, turning my head I saw 5 people, each of them much stronger then I am. confirmed this was someone's quest. that damn giant and these damn mages were apart of a quest. why else would a giant be summoned into the the capital?

I woke up in a hospital room with 5 people standing in front of me all wearing full knights gear with a different coloured sword differing depending on which one it is. each one of them giving off a menacing aura except for River Styx. I wonder how a level 1 like him hangs out around the others being so much stronger then him?
"you are finnaly awake, we are hear to say you are a fool, you interrupted our quest so now we have to do it again and hope to get the right drop from the giant and GROOoo..." Heat Death said but was interrupted by being elbowed in the gut by Great Oak.
"Enough of that, we are here to say sorry, it was are first run through the mission and we assumed you were an enemy NPC, we did not account for you players or the town so we are sorry" Great Oak said to me in a female voice, of course I can't tell the difference between them as they all have thick metal plated armour covering their entire body.
"thats ok, next time though just be sure to warn everyone with a World Message" I said before getting up, they looked at me weirdly... wait, how did a player get that strong already?
"I am sorry but we are not that familiar with the terminology of you players" said Great Oak causing me to look at all 5 of them again and then I had to ask the question.
"so who are you?" I asked in a curious tone and then got the feeling I would regret asking.
"Introductions!!!" River Styx said and all of them got into a line and all got into a strange pose. while saying their name. watching was just embarrassing to be around but considering 4 out of 5 of them could flick me and kill me I don't wish to push my luck stat.
"so?" I ask and Styx looked at me with what I am guessing is confusion. can't tell through his helmet that only had a gap for the eyes but even then it was all blacked out so nothing could be seen.
"we are the greatest fighters around. the 5 champions of the Tower Of Hero's. if you beat all 5 of us in a row with a team consisting of 5 members or less your names will be remembered for an eternity and you will become the new champions" River Styx said to me with a tone hoping I would know of them.
"never heard of you but I am guessing you are the final boss battle" I said simply and they gave off an aura of confusion. however if what he said is true I will have to fight all of them. the I will have to defend that position from those who would challenge it.
"oh yea, didn't they up the prise money you get for beating us from 90,000,000,000,000G to 100,000,000,000G?" Night Blade said with the voice of a child. I am now really curious about what is under that armour. before I could continue they all glowed brightly in a mixture of colours before vanishing.
"*sigh* I thought they would never leave" I hear someone's voice from behind me, turning around it was the archer I met earlier. "they already gave that entire dance to me but I didn't think they would do it again. also, did you see that guy's name, it was BallsDeep69!! I almost died from laughter" Bowman said with a smile.
"your that archer that assisted me" I said with a smile and he got frustrated.
"assist you? I took down 2 of them, you only got 1. if anything you assisted me with your slow ass speed" the archer said with a now mocking smile.
"my slow ass speed? compared to your arrows that couldn't even go all the way through the target, and they had such low vitality" I said with a smile and I then started laughing, this guy was going to be a fun companion, however him being able to keep up with me is another matter.
