'Wait by the fountain, I don't like my class, but my appearance would be the same.'

Lena logged out before Elisea could speak, she made her way back in the middle of the town, and stared in the water of the fountain.

'Aesile!'

Zayde called as they approached. Elisea eyes darted in the direction upon hearing her name. Beside Zayde's was his friend and a guildmate Kian, his navy cloak was well-tailored shifting around his large frame, beneath it was the glimmered of mail coat with a heavy greatsword strapped behind of him.

'Do you want to come with us? We're going to a dungeon.'

Zayde asked.

'She's with me.'

A boy with large round glass, was sitting on his aether-powered machine shoulder, cut across Zayde's words.

'I'm Len, her brother.'

Lena glanced irritably at Zayde as she introduced herself, and walked with her golem in front of Elisea, blocking her entire figure.

'Oh, my apologies. my name is—'

'Not interested. Let's go, Aesile.'

Elisea couldn't say anymore words. Zayde watched them turn, and walked away quickly.

'You shouldn't talk to strangers, this is a game Elisea, people here are not trust worthy.'

'Zayde is different, he helped me yesterday.'

Elisea responded, steeling herself from Lena's stare.

'Let's just enjoy our time together, alright?'

Lena smiled.

Lena was a fast-learner, her levels caught with Elisea, they even has the same quests, and they decided to form a party.

'We're level fifteen, we can do small dungeons. But first, we need to buy and upgrade our amors.'

Elisea said.

'I knew it'd come to this point. This is why I changed my class to Mechanic.'

Lena crouched over, and opened her interface, a set of tools appeared before her, and she opened her inventory. She took out the cotton wool, silk, crystals hides of wolves, and scraps of metals she gathered then began crafting for a short minutes.

-Success:

•Acquired: Armored Silk Robe

•Acquired: Armored Leather Shoes

•Acquired: Armored Leather Gloves

•Acquired: Level 2 Weapon Crystal(Magic Amplification)

'Let's trade.'

Lena rose from her knees.

'How did you know all this stuff?'

Elisea asked as she accepted the items and equipped it.

'I spent some time watching players live stream, searching, reading, and I reviewed all of the charaters.'

Lena replied.

'I can only craft restorative potions.'

Elisea let out a sighed.

'What level? I have empty flasks, herbs and moonflowers!'

Lena glanced back at her.

'I'm apprentice eight.'

Elisea opened her interface to check her status.

'We can save more silvers! Let's trade! Wait, why am I getting excited?'

Elisea crafted potions, and increased her crafting into 'Skilled' status. They checked gears, upgraded their weapons and armors. They headed north and left The town of Velia to proceed on their quest.

They'd reach the cave entrance for their dungeon quest. Inside, the light of the crystals illuminated their surroundings. On the stillness, a fierce shout and hideous roar echoed. The sound came again, Elisea and Lena followed it, as they approached closer, they saw Zayde laying motionless, heaving air back into his lungs before pushing himself up. His friend swung his greatsword round to defend himself as a creature came for an attack, the one on their quest list called 'Venom Drake'. Its claws were gray, pale red eyes blazing, and the fangs from its jaws were coated in corrosive slime. It spread its bat-like wings, took a breath then spat acid to Zayde.

'Force Shield!'

Elisea reacted quickly, and an invisible force shrouded Zayde, protecting him form the acid.

'Shell calling. Mecha-Freed!'

From thin air Lena's golem appeared. She climbed to pilot the machine. Lena was now in control, the golem charged towards the Drake as she pushed the levers with both of hands. Concentrated jet of flames from its back pushed the giant mid-air as it prepare for a strike. As the Lena fought, drops of the drake's acid splattered on her golem, smoldering its metal arms.

'I need help here!'

Lena shouted.

The drake's attention was focused on Lena. Zayde leaped through the air and drove his sword into the creature's body. Its tail lashed him across his armored chest, and left his weapon on the back of the drake.

'Kian, Go!'

Zayde roared, and Kian skidded below the drake's belly. Two-handed, he thrust up his greatsword through the scales, making a long incision, and flung himself clear.

Eaten away by the acid, the right arm of Lena's golem broke in two. She pulled the levers and the golem jumped back, avoiding another attack.

'Detach.'

Lena's golem vanished as she say the word.

'Shell calling, Ray Cannon!'

Lena's arm turned into a ranged weapon, and aimed.

'Buy me some time while I charged aether energy!'

Elisea recited a spell, she placed her hands on the ground, and a dark glowing circle appeared beneath the drake. The creature dropped on its stomach , the magic pulled the creature restraining it from making another movement.

'Demoliton.'

Lena murmured as she enters a stance, and her arm cannon increased its size. It charged for a short moment, and it launched a single blue and white light. The ray from her cannon pierced through the drake's scales, receiving a critical damage.
