Zen looked up and saw a well built man, he noticed his hands were in shackles he then heard someone yelling saying that he royalty he had the scythe another after saying anyone can probably hold it.
Zen said no I am the holder of the shadow scythe on instinct. A few minutes later he heard he was going to be executed for stealing the shadow scythe. He then got a mission from Silva.
______________
Destroy the town and kill everyone
Reward teleport back to novice village
Special skill for shadow scythe
Reward half ice and fire mystical wolf egg
_______________
Zen know had a reason to kill everyone he was level 40 somehow getting captured must Hebrew gave him a lot of xp his stats were also increased.
He knew he could break out of his chains so he did he then disappeared from everyone sights. He appeared in front of them and killed the king with once slice of his scythe he then proceeded to kill everyone there. When he was done he saw a little half red and blue wolf in front of him.
He assumed that this was the wolf he gained from the quest. He checked his stats and saw the new skill, it said shadow tornado.
Shadow tornado level:1 cool down 10 seconds
The user spins around and create a tornado made of shadow decays and destroy opponent body's no matter the level
His mind was racing he could kill a max boss with just this one move he didn't need to level up he could just one shot every boss but he realized he spent 5 days in the game and 5 days in real life.
Silva then said I have to update that skill it's the most powerful this early I must be glitching out. Zen sighed a overpowered ability that would be nerfed. Silva said check it know it should be more accurate for your level.
Shadow tornado last 30 seconds 5 uses a day
Level:40
Tyler then logged out as today was the day he would apply to Splice the company that created Splice they were going to put him in the programmer division since he wasn't fit for negotiation for the new weapons branch.
He had already gotten the job he was a lead programmer and he was going too control the updates. He thought about making some secret changes to benefit him but that would be found out everyone could see his stats.
He had received a call about his shadow scythe and title he said he had no clue they were not in the game code so they assumed it was a glitch.
****
Silva was walking to the coffin of the god of all the one she loved it was his birthday and she loved that she had became something to help him become a fox again he helped us so much he defeated the tyrant didn't even try to become a king and he loved me only if he wasn't killed by that spy. Arthur his best friend will have to replace me I am going to be replaced, Arthur will have to become the new god of time.
*****
Tyler heard a male voice in his head rather than Silva voice he asked who he was and he responded Arthur a person who was close to someone like him and that he would not remember anytime soon. He then asked Arthur did he have the same abilities as Silva and he said he was stronger than her by leagues. Tyler believed him he sounded about 15-16. Tyler was working his butt off and not slacking after all he was working on next update coming out tomorrow on his first day.
Tyler then heard what he was waiting for yesterday at work he put in a code that would give him ten levels.

He then got a notification from Arthur splice available. He didn't know what a splice was he just knew that it was the game name. He asked Art his new nickname what it was he explained that is would level up his demon form and give him new strength and it happens every 50 levels. He then agreed and clicked accept. A immense pain filled his body and his veins flashed red and black. He clutched his chest a his heart felt like it was going to explode. He heard a beating sound and then the pain stopped he then got a notification from Art.

He say new stats and thought he had not checked his stats since level one a Art must have taken the ect off. He then realized something that had been the reason he killed everyone here. To teleport to novice village. He then saw the area around him shut down and saw 2 well built men and 2 fine woman and they wore robs made of shadow. In their presence Zen immediately saw another shadow cloak appeared on him it was shadows but it looked more pure than the others. The group in front of him said their names the women and then the man Artemis, Zariah, and Fuht, and Oroan.
They said the the test was what he was in to see if he was the true successor of their king Xylem. He almost forget that Silva said a king will rise but he needed to be a prince first. Then are we in the palace they nodded in response. It was time for the people to see their new prince. Zen asked Art if This was being broadcasted and he found some sort of vision magic but very powerful to last a few minutes.
He saw a door and walked out saw the people of the Demon palace and in the distance he saw a barrier and a few small town he realized this must be the towns of the the shadow warriors they each had their own kingdom. He also knew that the 4 people next to him were shadow monarchs the 4 most powerful people, they were even with the prince but below the Emperor since they were not at Emperor level.
He then heard the female shadow monarch whisper to him say "Hello my people I am your new king and the successor of Xylem" he said exactly that the crowd cheered as they saw their king die in battle 2 years ago and his disciple had arrived. Zen then said do I have a room which Artemis showed him to. He also met the maids and the head made Salxt a rare name for maids since it meant great fortune. He noticed that he had spent the whole weekend in Splice and he would be late to work if he didn't log out.
He logged out and got ready for work the update was coming out tomorrow so he had to work a 48 hour shift and shut the game down he could make a few tweaks to help other players. He remembered that he had a date planned on Thursday so he needed to sleep off Wednesday to be able to look healthy and he had a job that paid a lot.
When he got to work he let out a manual shutdown in 1 hour message so people could log off. After that ended he started tweaking the last checks such as class chains. This was something they added a year from today to make the game more interesting so he just did it early to make a good impression and up his social status.
He finished the update early and set a time to Wednesday for it to come out he dragged himself out of his chair and remembered on Friday the stock market would crash since he made the update he had a high reputation he told the stock department to stay alert as buyers of been disappearing left and right.
He dragged himself to his car it was a sports car that had great mileage something that wasn't rare these days. He went straight to sleep when he got home since by the time he got home it was 6 am on Wednesday he went straight to sleep and woke up on Thursday morning refreshed he took a shower put on some cologne. He headed to the sage spot which was a fancy restaurant and meet his girlfriend, Kai she was a very nice don't go out or do anything expensive since they moved on last week she was telling her friends her new address.
And she didn't want to much pressure on Tyler. She said in a grim tone so you know how much money this will cost? He replied I finished the update for Splice I got a pretty big paycheck form that. She agreed the debts they had had suddenly disappeared and she suspected Tyler's new job had something to do with it. They both ordered stake and they talked about their Spice characters and how Tyler became a prince and how she was his bride to be in the kingdom. They also joked how they would be living together after becoming best Friends and dating for 4 years.
Author note: I tried to make this as long as I could without dragging things out I tried😌
