Shadow_Magus

Luke, an average player, and fan of the popular fully-immersive MMORPG 'Ultimatum' and is just about to log out and leave the game after it's shut-down had been announced. 
However, as soon as he pressed down on the illusory button, a sharp pain attacked his mind, causing him to lose consciousness.
When he woke up, he finds himself in the body of Lucas, a slave in the outskirts of the capital of the Leon Kingdom, Sozra.
The catch is, that the Leon Kingdom was said to have been destroyed a long time ago in-game.  Also, within Luke's status, there is a notification;
[Beta testing begins in 92 days, 02 hours, 39 minutes, 12 seconds]
Beta Testing? Does this mean that he was brought to the time before the game was released, and even before the open betas?
Lastly, his status is slightly different to normal player's. It says [NPC status]
...
Discover, explore and grow together with Luke, as he tries to find the truth behind his appearance in Ultimatum, 23 years back in time than the moment he was going to log off.
What will happen? Will he be able to survive in a game world? Read it to find out!

The Supreme Sage

Luke had been given a total of two drops of baby dragon blood, and 1 drop of juvenile Sea God turtle blood from the exchange with the council. His main aim was to use the Sea God turtle blood to make a defence type Grade 2 magic array for protection, while using the other two Dragon blood drops for improved versions of [Power-up], at least reaching the second Grade, later on.


For now, he was finally done completing the basic structure and preparing all materials for the magic array using the Sea God turtle blood.


Now, he would really begin his seclusion, and it might last longer than when he was crafting the Grade 1 Power up, since he wanted to make a Grade 2 array.


And just like that, 10 months had passed when he successfully placed the defensive magic array onto his back.


New Magic Array has been created, please give it a name


Description- An array made with a precise intention crafted using acceptable materials and equipment with uniform construction methods as well as using mythical Sea God Turtle Blood.


-Increase in Magic Damage Resistance by 300


-Increase in Physical Damage Resistance 500


'Huhu! I guess the luck stat does not actually affect luck? Maybe it is only limited to the exp-holes and system related benefits that do not exist within this game. Power up was only Grade 1 but is was already giving benefits equal to a Grade 2 magic array, and now this is a Grade 2 magic array, but had benefits equal to that of a Grade 3 array!'


'Now than, time to make two Grade 2 [Power ups!]' Again, Luke dove back into making two new magic arrays.


While Luke was starting again, he did not forget to continuously send out missions to the players and to the rest of CoD.


It was now winter, and the war was reaching a stalemate since none of the nations wanted to expose their winter technology this early in a war that might last a decade.


While the top executes of the continent were playing a delicate and strategic game of chess, Luke kept on appearing with random things. Luke was similar to an annoying pigeon that could not affect the game itself, but was continuously shitting on the board itself, ruining the game every now and then. 


He was also submitting certain offerings to the Leon kingdom's side in the form of certain technologies out of the 15 new technologies he had used within these 10 months to maintain relations while forcing both sides to speed up the war.


'Haha, I will be the shit-stirrer for the sake of finishing off the war faster!' Were Luke's thoughts for a long time since he first began releasing technologies at random.


By now, out of the 5000 or so players who had joined CoD from Leon, and the nearly 2000 who left Roland, Islesat and other nations they spawned in to join CoD, nearly 4000 players had already joined into the war, which was an astonishing number of suicide members for a single organisation other than the troops of the kingdoms themselves.


Luke snuck a look at the faction page before smiling and returning to his delicate work with the two drops of Dragon blood.
