[Are you thinking what I'm thinking?]
"No, I cannot do that. That would tarnish my reputation," Atlas firmly refuted Kelsey, more like she was convincing herself.
[Just think of about all the crystal shards we can make off it.]
"Then what should I tell them happened to the weapons they bought an hour ago?" She pointed out.
[Who cares about what they think, if they have a problem then they should openly challenge you, then maybe we could go over and settle it 'amicably'.]
"That's just evil," she laughed out in amusement.
KaelStorm, from his cozy wraps, stared in discomfort at Atlas' as she kept talking and laughing to herself like she were interacting with someone. The worst part being she didn't look in a certain direction while conversing, but was all over the place. At times in a daze, scribbling on the dirt with a stick, or facing the wall—like right now. So, it couldn't be a spirit of some sort he couldn't see.
'The revered GoblinQueen is a Psycho.'
He tilted himself just enough to look in the direction of his subordinates, now reduced to a mere two, sitting close to a bonfire with the warrior whispering things to caster's ear that made her giggle and blush from time to time.
Pfft! He would've vomited blood, only if they weren't all in his head now.
Sigh. With a mind command, he pulled up his profile status.

He was dumbstruck at the pending objectives which wanted him dead for losing his domain, which made him wonder if he wouldn't be respawning if he were to die again.
Cold sweats began forming on his forehead, and he looked to GoblinQueen who was now on a tree branch, but seemed to catch a glimpse of something and turned in his direction, their gaze locking for a moment, before she looked down on her exposed thighs—wearing only an oversized t-shirt—and looking back at him in disbelief.
Karl quickly looked away in embarrassment, when he realised he wasn't actually looking at her thighs, but was thinking what his fate would be in her hands. That embarrassed him more, and he turned to look again. To proof he wasn't a pervert.
But as he turned, his eyes first landed on the said smooth thighs, before quickly looking up to her face to see she had caught him staring now, her middle finger pointed to him as she mouthed the words, 'Fucking pervert,' and pulled the hem of the shirt lower to cover her exposed skin.
He quickly looked away, coughed in embarrassment, and began scrolling up and down his profile status like he was in the middle of something serious.
[Ding! You have received a direct message.]
He hurriedly launched the friends list icon which was empty except for the one he'd just received from a player 'DarkLord'.
He hesitated a bit, before opening the message and reading the single line of text which read:
We can help you take down GoblinQueen and reclaim your domain.
"…"
[So, what are your plans for the dungeon? You do know It'll be free-for-all once the barriers are down.]
"I know, but what could I possibly do about it? I can't go in there without a healer—" Atlas was saying, when—
[NOTICE]: Lord Seo-ah has achieved the First Dungeon Clear!
"Huh…"
[NOTICE]: Lord Seo-ah has achieved the First Solo Dungeon Clear!
"What the hell!" She blurted in shock. "An Asian?"
[Why? Do you have a problem with these… Asians?]
"No. But she's an Asian," Atlas exclaimed in a state of shock, "No one uses their real names around here."
[Okay, you're not making any sense right now. You're in a state of shock, breath.]
"How did she do it?" She screamed, her eyes darting from one corner to the other.
[Calm down! It might be a Grade-E or even F dungeon—]
[NOTICE]: Lord Seo-ah has cleared the C-Rank Dungeon, 'Desert Temple'!
"Fuck!" She screamed again.
[Okay, that might be weird, but maybe she's a healer—]
"Hey, you," Atlas called out to her skeleton guard, "Assemble yourselves! For we conquer the Tomb of Al'zarr at dawn!" She roared in a rush of adrenaline pumping through her veins.
Clang! Clang!
The entire domain was instantly filled with the sound of metal clashing against metal as the skeletons slammed the side of their blades onto their chest plates.
"Milady," the caster quickly ran up to Atlas, "Our prisoner has a healing ability, he will be of great help if we were to carry him along." She suggested wisely.
Karl who, by the way, was as shocked as Atlas on hearing the aced global notice, became curious on who this prisoner with a healing ability his subordinate had mentioned, was, when he saw them both looking in his direction, and the realization hit him.
Pfft! His second time of attempting to vomit blood in a day, only if he had any left—as he was extremely famished.
[Ding! You have received a direct message.]
Atlas paused, as the notification floated on her vision.
She wasn't used to receiving direct messages, as she knew Kelsey filtered them out—as they were irrelevant like the majority hating or asking for friendship, some even her hand in marriage.
She went to her friends list and saw the latest message being from a Lord named 'Seo-ah' and the line of text which read.
I need your help.
