Estora, a land of fantasy and infinite worlds. You can be anything here a Hero or a Villain, just a simple merchant or the greatest blacksmith. The world is your playground. This place is where many call home including myself. Most are low level and do simple tasks and work as merchants. Then there the front liners who do raids and level up to take on even bigger bosses. The scariest are the loners as they are really fucking high level as they don't have parties. One of the most famous is the Demon King MG, a monstrous player who is rarely seen. He earned his title because of his race, a Cambion, which is a hard race to play. There is unfortunately a ranking system, there are two parts: the Angel cast and the Demon casts. Each has different criteria. People in the Angel cast paid for the rank and gear, they're generally looked down upon because of the pay to win they pulled most don't even know how the low-level areas work because they get VIP access to lounges and cities. Whereas the Demon cast worked there to get their ranks, most fall into the demon cast if they can work to get in, most don't have a cast because of how hard it is to get into either one. Those who don't have a cast are called the Casteless which are either working toward one or the other. I'm part of the demon cast which has different ranks. Imp, Scion, Devil, Pit Fiend, and finally Demon General. Each rank has its own perks and is hard to get to, the hardest is Demon General, there are only eight who hold the title. One of them is the Demon King, MG. The others call themselves the Seven Sins. There used to be more but, that's a story for another time. Sorry if I'm rambling let's just get to it.
"Hey MG, wake up. We got shit to do."
"Alright I'm up, what do you want Brytos"
"Dude, It's time we moved on from this town"
"You can, I mean your an Angel Account why are you done here"
"To check up on your ass, I mean for god's sake why haven't you converted to an angel account? You get resurrection magic and would progress far faster and I wouldn't have to come down here to make sure you're still alive. You're a Combion do you know the risks you take by playing that race as a Demon Cast. Your Mana is stupid high but your damage reduction is way lower."
"Yet I'm still alive at level 472"
"Don't give me that shit you know the risk, I'm going to head out. Good luck, Demon King…"
"You to angel"
Man, where the hell did I wake up this time. Looks like the Plains of Lio. I should head to town. There is no point in being in low-level plains. Granted the weather is great but Brytos had a point. I need to be careful still, I might be a high level in the area but I have to look out for a guild looking to make a quick buck by killing a General. Who knows what bounty The angel accounts placed on my head.
Let me explain, because of my rank as Demon General The angel account wants me dead. I pose a threat to them because supposedly they should rule over the lower-level players. They are at higher levels and have more power. The general population could give two shits though because they paid for their ranks, whereas I and the Sins earned ours. I'm not in leagues with the Sin but they have saved my ass a couple of times because I was almost found out. Angels can't kill me or the sins tho because of the devs placing a lock on Casts on being able to kill in their cast, so imps and scoins looking to convert can get paid big bucks for taking Demon general out. So the Sins and I Stick to towns or high-level zones to avoid being ambushed by large groups. We can take down anyone in one fight; it's the big groups that pose the real danger. Really High-level Angel accounts will go out of their way to offer whole guild angel accounts if they can kill us. It's pretty risky to be a Demon General rank because of this. Three of us have died. And had to reset because of it. They will be missed.
Ok, where should I go, Hmmmm. I got it! I will go to the town where everyone starts. It's a safe zone plus its chock-full of merchants and shops where I can sell my high-tier loot for some good cash. I need to get paid my rent coming up. I mean granted I live in the town in the Sky Latin mountains but it's really expensive, that's what I get for living out in the middle of nowhere. Let's see here. "World map open", alright so I'm in the plains of Lio near the shore… so I need to go to the City there. Alright, I'm going to head northwest.
The map is pretty big here in-game, most live in the early towns such as Grandzum and Lily. The town I'm heading to has a teleport gate, which is fast travel points. If you have been there before you go to any other town with a gate as long as you have been there. I've been to most on the mainland, I've never been to the Island waste off the east side of the main and it's a really high-level area that usually is crawling with low-level angel accounts. The place I live in is in the center of the mainland The Sky Latin mountains, a high-level area that stops most low-level players from passing into the Desert of Pyron, a nasty place for anyone. The Desert is a wasteland that even angel accounts avoid due to its high-level monsters and bosses. I have been there. It's actually where I used to live before the fall of Nazaric. When the angel account took over the port city on the shore near the Island wastes the spread of bounty hunters started to get worse and most accounts stayed away not only because of monsters but the players looking to convert by taking out a Frontliner guild or one of the Demon Generals. So I moved to an out-there location in the Sky Latin mountains. I don't get any visitors because it's next to the lair of a high-level boss, Astrum Draconis. This boss kicks ass I can barely take it myself, I've only seen one or two angel accounts attempt it that were looking to level up. So it's been my safe house for about 4 years.
Damn, That sun is beating down on me. How much further is the town, I can see it on the horizon but the render distance seems a little off. Oh whatever I'm going to waste some mana but it's worth it. "Spell generate, Haste level 6" sweet my speed is now increased to six-time what it normally is. I will get there in no time.
Bounding across the Plains is pretty fun. I haven't done this in a while. Spells can be pretty helpful but they cost mana resources that take time to regenerate. So if you're in the field it's not usually a good idea to waste your mana outside of combat, I'm a high level so I have a large mana pool but even I have to watch it sometimes. This is not something I would do in the Desert or in the Mountains. Here in the plains, it is ok because of its lower level. Still need to move quickly because if I'm caught out here it could be the end of me. When I travel using spells it's to get around faster either because I'm impatient or I'm running from something.
My God this has taken a while, but thankfully I got here without getting caught out on the Plains there not really a good place to hide from would-be Bounty Hunters. Now where is the Teleport gate, it's probably near the center of town.
"Fish for sale, Fish for sale. Get your Rare Fish here."
"No Thanks, Do you happen to know where the teleport gate is?"
"Teleport Gate? Sir, I don't know what you mean"
"The fast travel point, to get from town to town faster?"
"What do you mean sir, You sound like a mad man"
"Never mind, You are of no use. I'll find it myself"
It's strange that the Fishmonger didn't know where the town's gate was. Looks like I'm on my own. You have to love people who get too into the roleplay aspect of the game. I don't like casting spells in town because Bounty hunter may follow me out but seeing as it will be a pian to ask around.
"Locate Object, teleport gate"
There you are, you cheeky bugger. It's on an edge weird place but as long as I can get home that's all I care about. My approach does seem off though. It's not like people to stare at me in town. Most just ignore Camboins cause there not that rare in low-level towns maybe it's my gear it is high-class stuff but my world-class item is hidden? Think nothing of it remember the more you feed something the bigger it gets just go to the gate and get back to base. Your almost at the gate just a few more blocks.
"Hey sir, where do you think you're going?"
"Just to the Teleport Gate, that's all"
"Whats a Teleport gate? Sir…"
"You know the fast Travel points from town to town"
"No I don't sir, You're going to have to come with me"
"Might I ask why?"
"Sir Camboins are banned In this town"
"I'm trying to leave town, can't you see that"
" We still have to check that you haven't Stolen any goods demon spawn."
"Then I have one question for you? What's the sound of a bird flying…"
"Um sir what the hell are you talking about"
"Fly"
"What the hell! Get me down from here you scum"
I'm going to have to bolt out of here quickly that was new. Normally I'm not threatened by guards or players. The gate right there. Oh, shit the guards are right behind me aren't they.
"Stop, Your under arrest"
"You have to catch me dick heads"
Welp, I'm wanted now but the gate is right there
" Teleport, the Sanctuary "
