Quest
Numerous small green wisps float endlessly around a young man in lotus position, the wind nearby continuously heading towards him causing his short hair to flap in the wind.
With a tensed expression and a grunt, the green wisps flowed towards him at an even faster rate!
Swoosh!
Boom!
A small muffled explosion sounded as he slowly exhaled, a satisfied smile playing upon his lips as he slowly stood up, this is none other than Ren, who spent three days cultivating nonstop.
"Three days huh… It's almost time for the quest" Ren smiled silently clenching his fist and feeling the inhumane-strength contained within him! He felt an urge to throw a punch, and without any hesitation he set his eyes on the distant training dummy!
Swiftly he made an upward slashing motion with his hand!
Swoosh!
Immediately a powerful green blade materialized out of thin air and at almost blink-eye speed, it shoots forward towards the dummy!
Shiick!
The green blade cut deep into the sword leaving a log gash on it with smaller wooden splinters fallen down, grinded to near dust state.
"Such power" He smiled to himself full of excitement, the 9th level of the Qi condensation realm!
Witnessing Jw's breakthrough to the foundation establishment a few days ago, he felt a crazy urge to grow stronger and since then, he locked himself in seclusion, training nonstop and learning skills all the time!
And now, this is the fruit of his labor!
Suddenly the smile on his face vanished, its nearing one day in real life yet all he has is 80 bronze coins, 100 bronze coins is equal to 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coin is equal to 1 gold coin!
Gold coin is what he need at the moment!
"Dammit..."He cursed and immediately headed for the door.
Creak!
With a creaking sound, he opened the door and walked out, yet at this moment, group of four appeared before him with one of them being jwhbsrinvfriygrf, the others seemed familiar too but he couldn't remember where he saw them.
"Yo, why are you in such a hurry?" Jwhbsrinvfriygrf asked.
"I'm in dire need of coins, I can't laze around here anymore" Ren went straight to the point.
"Well, dungeons and quests are the best way to gather coins" Jwhbsrinvfriygrf casually suggested.
"Who are they?" Ren asked, referring to the group nearby.
Jwhbsrinvfriygrf sighed before answering, "Didn't you want revenge?" He stared at the silent Ren, despite being silent, the intense look in his eyes is more than an ordinary verbal answer.
"This is a team I've formed, even though some of them are new to these types of games, I can guaranteed that each and every one of them is a unique player full of potential" He assured with a slight smile.
Ding! Player Jwhbsrinvfriygrf invited you to a party! Accept?
Note: Accepting the team invite, the player will automatically accept the "Investigate the strange happenings of the Blackwater Town" Quest.
[Yes/No]
"Yes" He said softly and immediately the interface of the others showed up before his face.
Jwhbsrinvfriygrf.
Mask
Sword Monarch
Elf_lover.
His pupils contracted upon seeing the last name and he shakily raised his head to take a look at the last and only member of their team, she wore an all-black robe with a hood covering her face leaving only her lips for him to glimpse.
"She might be a different individual just the same name…" He thought, trying to give himself some self-assurance but his heart still beat unsteadily.
But those red lips though… blood red lips.
He shook the thoughts of his mind and turned to jwhbsrinvfriygrf, "Lead the way"
Jwhbsrinvfriygrf gave him a weird look and gesture for them to follow after him, which they did.
Their group of five consists of jwhbsrinvfriygrf, Ren, a handsome man with a bored face carrying a sword on his back, the lady in all black and lastly a man exuding a cold and detached aura wearing a simple white expressionless mask.
Swiftly they exited the city through the front gate, the journey was uneventful with mostly Jwhbsrinvfriygrf having some catching up moments with the Sword Monarch while the lady and the eerie man stayed silent.
Along the way, Jwhbsrinvfriygrf started to brief them about the quest, "It's in an old deserted city, the bandits, with each and every member being a cultivator and having two foundation realm establishment realm powerhouses and having the backing of the Shadowheart clan, they dared to slaughter whomever stood in their way"
"The city was quickly taken down, the men either flee or they were killed, the women were err…" He stopped midsentence, seeing the look on his companions face, he knew they understood what he is trying to imply, "The children were also held captive, the Shadowhand clan members left the city a few days ago, our mission is to slay the bandit king and free the captives" Jwhbsrinvfriygrf said, to which everyone nodded.
"Good…"
Ren with his heart in turmoil obviously stayed out of the conversation, just silently listening, slowly but surely, they arrived before a small village with wooden fence and a broken gate, a grey mist flowed around the village and a chilly wind seemed to be ever-present, making one's hair stood on end.
"A deserted town…" The Sword Monarch spoke, his voice deep but casual, as if not taking the gloomy area seriously.
"Indeed, as I've said earlier, this is a bandit hideout and according to the quest info, the highest level fighter is their leader, a being at the second level of the foundation establishment, there is also a single first level foundation establishment realm expert and about fifteen Qi absorption realm experts" jwhbsrinvfriygrf reminded them.
"I'll take on the leader when he appear and the other foundation realm expert-"Before he could finish speaking, that deep and casual voice interrupted, "Leave it to me, he shall fall under this great one's blade" Sword Monarch proudly declared as if his words alone are enough to seal the fate of that powerful bandit.
Jwhbsrinvfriygrf shook his with a smile, "Alright let's go" With that he walked away from the door making the Sword Monarch frown but he didn't questioned his actions and silently followed together with the young lady closely behind him.
As much as he'd like to storm into the stronghold with swords blazing, he knew that with his current strength, it'll only lead to an unfortunate end, thus, he tacitly approved of the team-leader's decision.
Ren clenched his fist as he stared at their departing figures, his eyes cold as he gritted his teeth and followed after them with a ferocious expression.
