After forming their party, Jake and Sweet Angle 93 were preparing for conquering the dungeon.
'Is that a rare item' thought Jake, looking at the equipment of his party member.
Rare equipment where never seen since this was the beginning of the game, most players had stuff that were similar to Jake. Seeing this item, Jake was starting jealous.
"Hey, where did you get this rare magic wand" asked Jake, truly curious. Since he did not know of any quest in the [Beginner's Village] that would give a piece of rare equipment.
"Umm… I don't know, if I can tell you. But it was quite weird if I'm being honest."
This statement of her's piqued the interest of Jake even more, did a strong NPC give an item to a newbie player. He needed to know just how did she got it.
"Can you tell me, I will even give you… a favor from me which you can use at anytime" said Jake
"Well, alright then. It started like this, I was walking in an alley in the city which was dark, I couldn't even see one meter in front of me. When, all of a sudden I hear a cry for help near me. Being a good person, I went to where I heard the noise. Imagine the shock I had when I found an old man on his last breath, bleeding."
'Wait could it be Merlin, the master of magic' thought Jake, trying to figure out who that man was.
"He asked me to go get him some ingredients from nearby stores to cure him, but I didn't know that they would cost all the money I had on me. But still I decided to get those things. When I got back to where he was and gave him the ingredients, he chanted some weird words like an incantation or something. After, his weird chanting he told me in a big voice, thank you I will never forget you, and he gave me this wand just before disappearing right in front of my eyes." said the girl
'It's got to be Merlin, only he would be able to do such a thing with so little' thought Jake, sure of the person she helped.
"What an interesting story" said Jake, trying to play it cool
"What's your class?" asked Jake, changing the subject
"I'm a mage, if the wand didn't give it away already." said the girl
"Oh okay, and what is your real name or nickname If you prefer." asked Jake
"It's Emily."
"No last name?"
"No." she said with an icy tone. Changing the atmosphere present in the room.
'Look like I should avoid her personal life.' thought Jake
"Well, shall we enter the dungeon?" asked Jake in front of the dungeon, still shocked by her changes in her behaviour.
"Yes, let's go"
While they were in process of entering, some players were still making fun of Jake for saying he would carry anyone without their help. But they would be in for a surprise when Jake came out unscathed.
[Entering the Dungeon]
When they arrived in the dungeon, Jake decided to be the leader since he already knew the inside out of this place and In the first place Emily wasn't really a leader, she looked quite shy even after speaking to him for a long time.
"Let's advance, follow me. There should goblins coming for us soon, just don't go too far away from me. I will try to protect you the best I can." said Jake
"Okay… I'll try"
"Don't be scared, don't worry" said Jake, trying to recomfort Emily
Kiki! Kiki!
Sounds of goblins were starting to be heard near them as they advanced into the dungeon.
One group of goblins started to swarm them on the right side of the dark corridor.
But Jake was already prepared and he decided to dash at them, dagger in his hands.
"Don't worry, I will kill them all." said Jake without any doubts in his mind.
Jake having put his unassigned ATP in his agility and strength. He was, now, faster than the goblins, they looked like they were in slow motion from his point of view. Since killing them wasn't a problem, Jake wanted to get as much Exp as possible before fighting the boss.
[Level Up!]
-All mana and health are restored
+1 ATP
'Oh I leveled up. Nice I'll try to farm as much as possible here. It's a gold mine for exp' thought Jake, feeling happy.
'I'll try to get level 4 before going into the boss room.'
After killing the goblins, Jake called Emily
"Come here! I have something to tell you. When we are going to fight the boss, here is the strategy…" said Jake
After this discussion, Jake continued killing everything that was in his way and Emily just stayed in the back observing the ability her leader had.
'How is he able to make those moves with such confidence when the game came out so recently' thought Emily, intrigued by what this man was hiding.
"Are you perhaps, a beta tester? It would explain why you are so strong." asked Emily, trying to figure just what was his secret
"Hum… not exactly, but I guess say that" said Jake, trying to change the subject since saying he came back in time would be unbelievable to anyone who heard it
30 minutes later, in front of the boss room which could be spotted by literally anyone since it was the biggest door known to man. It was massive, it was at least 200 meter in height and Jake had difficulty seeing the top of it.
What was behind this door was even more scary. But it didn't change the fact that Jake was still getting chills from those doors even if he was used to it.
"You remember what you have to do right?"
"Yes but are you sure that will work?" asked Emily
"100%, don't doubt me. I know what I'm doing." said Jake, proudly
