Bad Apple

With an extravagant start to our crusade, my bullets ripped through the air... the unsuspecting healers that were accompanying the Raid party quickly had their heads popped off from their torsos.

5 Killed. 40 to go. The rest are Carriers and miners. No threat I assume.

Hopefully.

- Stealth -

Me - " Hahaha... it's punishment time! "

A few DPS players engage me, but it seems most are having a hard time tracking me with my new stealth.

| Stealth • Passive / Active |

| Passive : Decreases noise made by 30%, Naturally decreases visibility. |

| Active : Become invisible to players with lower wisdom than half your dex. Lasts 2 minutes per Stamina used. No cooldown |

I'm glad that no DPS player puts stats into wisdom haha, except maybe archers... but its... well, not rare but... whatever...

Since they can't see me for the most part, I can pick off anyone I want. This Mini boss here seems to be watching this too. Like not engaging? Why?

Whatever.

Arch and his buddies are working together to take on their leader. And I'm picking off anyone that gets close to interrupt. A tank will find it difficult to deal with 5 players at once when alone, despite the steep level difference. Tanks aren't meant to do much damage you know?

| Race unlocked : Crystoid Human |

What?

Dice... what are you doing?

I have slaughtered thousands of crystal creatures with my new subordinates. I've evolved once as well!

I'm now an Arch Insectoid!

Is that where Arch's name comes from? If so that's kinda pretentious. He would basically be calling him the Highest of Players... I think.

Obviously, master is superior than him.

All my subordinates agree too! I can't wait to meet master again!

Shits going down. Hell has been raised!

Turns out Tungston was pretty strong, despite her being average on level she has some pretty strong items. Even ones that use magic tech. Like my cars but weaponized. I guess she really is a fan.

She also... has her weapon named after me...

Honestly, I don't want to elaborate further on what she has.

But, just like the word before pong in the popular tabletop sport.

* Ping *

That's another one down, the DPS and Support are dropping like flies and the boss hasn't moved yet. In fact... I think the only guy le -

* Crack *

That's the sound of my bones cracking... fuck that hurts. What bitch decided to fuck with me! Don't you know I'm the son of the wealthiest family!

Haha, jokes aside I'm in a crater right now. In the wall.

I don't even know what hit me...

Something fast though, and it could obviously see through my stealth.

??? - " Magic Missile! "

Magic missile? At this level? Is he a spell dedicationist? Of magic missile?

History lesson, when you level up as a primary caster class you can learn new spells or power up others.

Assuming that's what hit me, then the caster must be focusing on that spell only.

Removing myself from the crater, I disable my stealth and peer out to the source. I'll be taking revenge... if you can call it that.

System, play my theme song.

| Confirmed |

Target spotted, I'll be executing this as fast as possible... assuming by the casters items I assume he is a ridiculously strong opponent.

I can appraise him...

He's a caster that looks straight outta FF... belts and such covering most of him, most likey a pure caster and pure caster mix. Maybe a wizard and warlock mix based on his clothes.

I could be ridiculously wrong though.

I took out my Crimson Saber, and loaded one of my Believer rounds... good advice for anyone fighting a caster is to not let them have space. A good way to do that is AoE for the most part. Rushing them is also an option.

I opted to do both. Keeping my body frame low to the ground as possible, I fired a few rounds at the mage... to Wich he responded by pushing up a blue barrier.

Ah, so he isn't a specialist... maybe an item effect then? Not unlikely... crafting in this game is ridiculous.

Magic craft weaponry is a good example of that. Speaking of Wich... I fired off two more believer rounds at him. I have a limited amount that I won't disclose for plot reasons, but if he keeps blocking all of them I'm going to run out.

Speaking of Wich, a few more barriers were created before impact, the rounds exploding out with rage at not being able to Peirce their target. A few other mages are attempting to fire at me too, but Asi quickly shuts them up for me.

This is the power of my build, nothing will stop me from killing you.

I've decided against using more believer rounds, deciding to take my rifle out again won't be a bad decision... he will still die from one bullet from this.

Unfortunately, the barriers don't get destroyed in one round like it did when using my Believer rounds. But it seems he's trying into do something else while protecting himself.

A multi caster? Kinda rare to find... most people can't focus on muitple spells at one. Unless he is a sorcerer with auto casting... but the strength of the shields tell me otherwise.

Looking out of the corner of my eye, I see that the Mini boss still hasn't moved... and Arch's team is still taking on the leader... now with Tungston to join them.

That means this is the last guy I have to worry about. Assuming Asi is also done taking out the rest of the... goons I guess? The Miner and Carrier players are all gathered into a corner... it looks like their trying to escape the rampage that's taking over the battlefield quickly.

I hope they dont run... they can be a good source of XP for me... haha!

...

Ah shit, my old habits are returning haha. ha... I should see a therapist like Arch said.

I am not fast... despite my high dex.

Dex actually doesn't actually increase your speed, but it does increase it if your using a skill like sprint. Despite not telling players that. It was found out quite the bit ago, but it was really kept under wraps untill... " Hell Blade " of the top 5 players let it be known to everyone. He showed off quite a bit... and saying his name makes me puke.

He tried to PK me tons of times... and always failed.

Anyways... ugh I said it again... for the most part, I'm approaching this mage without resistance. But that spell he is creating is getting quite complicated... and I can hear him mumbling something.

Is he using both Chanting and Magic circle for his spell? I never thought of that... guess I'll test it out.

Cast me a spell big man, I want to see the effect it can bring!

Hit me with it!

Actually, don't though.

- Stealth -

- Sprint -

Despite not being completely invisible to him, it doesn't negate the effect of stealth... instead it makes me blurry and semi transparent, but of a lesser degree. I can assume that his Wisdom is about that level... unless he is min maxing towards wisdom.

However, it doesn't seem like it. From what I can see, he is having a harder time tracking me down... but it looks like something he has is bringing attention too me... I don't know what though.

- Party member Cav has died

- Party member Luriel has died -

- Party member Melody has died -

- Party member Tungston has died -

- Party member Horizon has died -

Oh shit lol, looks like Arch got himself a reversal on his hands. That leader guy had a Trump card... but so does Arch.

Do you think he's been sitting around picking his nose between the few days we were apart? And do you think I didn't give him advice on improving his build?

Well I haven't given him advise, but he told me he bought something cool. I can't wait to see what it is.

Oh, he's doing a cool pose and he's talking about his friends... he is totally an MC!

Let's hear what's he saying while I stall with this guy over here...

Arch - " You've done it... now I'll be serious now that were alone."

??? - " What have you got there boy... a foolish low level like you can't do anything to harm me! "

Arch pulled out a small medallion, is silver and blue seemingly... I think it might be a Form Token I think...

Arch - " I'm not strong now, but I will be the strongest eventually! Have a taste of what I will become! Medallion! Hear my call! "

| WARNING : USER " Arch " IS ATTEMPTING TO FORCE EVOLVE HIMSELF, NEARBY MONSTERS WILL BE STRENGTHENED |

Ow ow Ow... that's loud as shit!

A force evolution? Aren't those used for summons though? That's crazy... is that a new tech? Awesome... I'm totally going to copy it if it works well.

Oh... oh Shit! He's upgrading his race! Usually you swap them out... but if you evolve it... what happens? I'm so excited!

| Evolution successful, User " Arch " has evolved into an " Arch Human ". |

Haha, it's like his name!

That's kinda ironic... Arch the Arch human.

Haha. Let's see him kick ass now.

Speaking of kick ass...
