[1st Week of October 2018 — National Association — Morning — Tuesday]
After the the 4 months of lectures and the individual assessment, Accel decided to concentrate on his leveling up and class job promotion, to become much stronger. Thanks to his "Stats Concealment (Advanced-Tier Skill)" the people and the association can see his stats by 50% to 75%. Except for the players who specialized in Appraisal Class Jobs, because they can see through even with the Stats Concealment Skill.
Accel is looking around the mission holographic board and sees a "Rank (E) Exploration Mission" for Solo Players that is recommended for Level 100 Players. As Accel considers this, he takes the mission and lets the receptionist accept the mission he wants. The mission is to explore an unexplored gate dungeon, the reason why it was designated as a Rank (E) was because it was not at the threat level.
Before he set off to the gate dungeon, he went to the armory to enhance his sets of equipment. With a success rate of 100% enhancement, his sets of equipment are much more durable and better, the "Composite Leather-Iron Equipment". He increases the enhancement by +3, including his shield and sword. After that, he heads over to the Alchemy Store to buy a set of health potions (+250) and a set of mana potions (+250).
With the complete preparation, Accel heads out to the unexplored gate dungeon. He rides the magical carriage and goes near the Southern Fortress, where the designated gate dungeon was found by low-rank players like him. While Accel is resting on the magical carriage, let's talk about the new changes.
[New Changes] — [Mindala -> Mindanao] — [Authority: Marquis]
1. Mindala Northern Fortress (Large-Province Type) is located at Misamis Oriental
2. Mindala Southern Fortress (Large-Province Type) is located at South Cotabato
3. Mindala Eastern Fortress (Large-Province Type) is located at Agusan del Sur
4. Mindala Western Fortress (Large-Province Type) is located at Zamboanga del Sur
The Misty Forest Threat Level ranges from Rank (A-) to Rank (SS+) because the Misty Forest expands almost near the 4 Mindala Fortress like a 5km distance to the entrance of the Misty Forest. The reason it was designated to a Rank (SS+) was because an Unknown Dragon is sleeping in the middle of the Misty Forest, it has been slumbering for a few decades and hasn't moved yet.
To prevent the threats from happening, not only in the Philippian Empire but throughout other nations and empires, the "Global Council of Luminants" from the "Sanctuary of the Luminescent Faith" sends their followers who wield holy and divine power throughout the globe. This religion is now recognized by the world due to its hope and protection of humanity and their existence, with the guidance of the Supreme Pope and the Saintess of Luminescent Faith, they created the skill called "Divinity Shield" that surrounds a dangerous entity without harming nor disturbing the enemy.
One of the religious branches led by the National Luminary cast the Divinity Shield around the Unknown Dragon, because of that those who come near the Divinity Shield will either push back or randomly teleported away from the Shield about 1km. So, enemies who want to wake up the Unknown Dragon can't do it anymore, especially people who want to destroy humanity itself.
Due to this new religion's appearance, many other religions came to its appearance but 50% to 65% of them are not yet recognized by the world, but few from other nations recognized it. The World Association, the Global Concord Alliance (GCA), and the Worldwide Alliance of Nations (WAN) allowed anyone or a group of people whether they are small or large can create their religion as long as it helps the hope and the humanity, except those bad ones. If they do not follow, they will be sentenced to death according to other religious groups like the Sanctuary of the Luminescent Faith.
The Global Concord Alliance is under the leadership of the United Federation of America (UFA) and the World Alliance of Nations is under the leadership of the European Coalition of Nations (ECN). These 2 new alliances were former members of the United Nations, ever since the SOD (Sovereign Order of Dominion) was created under the 2 leadership of the Celestial Dragon of China (CDC) and the Russian Dominion (RD), these 2 newly created alliance needs to start moving instead of staying put.
UFA, ECN, and the World Association supports the Freedom Fraction and the Neutral Fraction, while the SOD supports the Military Fraction and the Nobility/Royalty Fractions...
[End of the Changes... Maybe]
[Between the Southern Fortress and Misty Forest — Afternoon — Tuesday]
Accel wakes up with a strange dream talking about the world and religion for some reason. The magical carriage stops and drops off Accel near the cave where the unexplored gate dungeon will be. After organizing his things and ready for exploration, he sets off toward the cave as the magical carriage leaves the designated area.
As Accel enters the cave, the cave is already explored except for the human-size gate stated that is recommended for Level 100 Player Solo. After what it says, Accel enters the gate dungeon and things don't go well and Accel is unaware of what happened after he enters the gate dungeon...
After passing through the gate dungeon... The gate dungeon suddenly gave a deep and ominous hum that started to resonate. It starts softly, unnoticed by Accel, who is already making his way deeper into the gate dungeon. The hum grows louder, accompanied by crackling energy that arcs across the surface of the gate. Blue sparks dance wildly, illuminating the cave clearing in a flickering, eerie light.
Right now, Accel is unaware of what's happening because he is inside the gate dungeon and has no idea that something big will happen that might cause the world to panic. The hum reaches a crescendo, the vibrations from the gate making the ground tremble. Leaves quiver and small stones rattle as the power builds to a peak.
[National Association — Threat Level Management Center (TLMC)]
Executive 2nd Officer Andrew of the TLMC: "Hm? What's this... The energy level is increasing... Director Matthew, I think you need to check about this..."
Director Matthew of the TLMC: [Looks to the System] "What the hell is this?? The level is increasing from Rank (E) to Rank (D)... No, it's increasing again from Rank (D) to Rank (C-), (C), and (C+), wait no, it's increasing again!"
Executive 1st Officer Christoper of TLMC: [Worried] "Director, look at the holographic screen. The energy level is expanding!"
Director Matthew: "What!"
Executive 2nd Officer Andrew: "Director, the energy level is increasing from Rank (C+) to Rank (B-, B, B+) and now increasing to Rank (A-, A, and A+)!"
Director Matthew: "I want everyone to contact every guild and alliance from the Southern Fortress to head towards the strong energy level and check what's going on! Now!
[While that is going on... Accel right now is...]
After walking for quite a while now, he saw an old abandoned church it the very outskirts of a huge grassland. What is strange about this is, that no animals are flying and animals that are from the ground, only a small single, and old abandoned church...
[While Accel is seeing this on the outside of the gate, something huge occurs...]
Executive 1st Officer Christoper: [Shock] "Director! The Unknown Dragon from the Misty Forest has started moving!!!"
Director Matthew: [Even More Shock] "What did you say!!!"
[At the Center of the Misty Forest]
Unknown Dragon???: [Dragon Language] "I see... So, the Goddess of ??? has chosen her successor... Hahaha!!!"
