After A few Minutes of talking with his chat Apollo Finally Ended his tutorial and Picked the Western Continent to spawn on.
Once He Arrived Western Continent He was in some forest with a bunch of magical creatures. Seeing no roads or hint of where he was. He traveled till he finds a node.
After Two or Three days in game hiking in a dense forest of Magical Creatures. He killed a bunch but avoiding A few that was too high leveled. Getting His Adventurer Class to Level 15.
He was Finally able to Use the class skill
After Couple of hours of walking and talking with his chat. He Finally Arrived at The Kingdom of Ferris. Where his Legendary Class was taking him to meet The Seer there.
Once Arrived He saw The Kingdom from a cliff and he looked at the buildings Noticed they was all stone, brick, and wood. The Stone walls were pretty high there was at least three layers of these walls with each layer being more spacious than the last. and Their was A large Stone Castle in the middle of the Kingdom.
Noticing The large Crowd of people going in and out of the Kingdom. He went towards it, Right when he got closer to the gate Apollo saw almost like A King's welcome towards the Gate and in front of the Gate Two people stood there waiting with large smiles on their face.
They dressed like royalties. Cheers burst out once he gotten close enough to the line of people being blocked of by the guards. All shouting out his name and going crazy. Apollo instantly knew those people was his chat. He Finally Arrived in front of the two people dressed like royalty.
"Hello Traveler Apollo, I am King Jigglesprout! and this is Queen Yola." The king introduced himself and his queen.
The king was a very short man possibly standing 4ft, He had the face of a bulldog like BeastKin. The Queen Like a white she-wolf beast kin with piercing grey eyes.
Apollo looked at the queen with a blush as she greeted him as well.
"So uh..I can guess why the other travelers are out here...but I don't understand why the king and queen of this kingdom would grace such a traveler like me to meet at their gates instead of me coming to your humble castle?" Apollo says with politeness in his voice while wiggling his eyebrows that made the queen giggle with a blush.
"OH ho! not just handsome but wise as well." The king says with a wink and amused look.
The king cough. "But to the real concerns of the matter why such royalties as us are here?...is because of thy quest that was given by the gods! Your Seer is none other than the Queen." The king says as Apollo looked at her with a dropped jaw.
Before Apollo could speak he was cut off by the king. "We can finish this talk at the Castle...Don't worry all your questions will be answered there." The king says with a smile Apollo nodding with agreement.
They Past by the different layers of the kingdom Apollo notices that its just like any old classic Medieval kingdom in the history books and movies.
The carriage finally arrived at The castle. Apollo looked impressed by The castle which was singled out by itself in the middle of a Lake The only way in or out was by boat or the one and only giant bridge they was traveling on towards it.
After Departing The carriage Knights were everywhere around the castle. Using the Royal Guards to escort them into the throne Room where Familiar Figures was standing in front of The throne waiting with Wide grins.
"Look what we have here Chat." Apollo says wiggling his eyebrows with a joyful look.
Even Though it's a different game Apollo will always recognize his core Guildmates of Paragon. The Chat goes Crazy Spamming the different names of the members like they was celebrities.
"Took ya damn time huh? Tough Guy!" A man With Red Short Hair, Heavy Plated armor with Sliver and blue mixed colors. A Large Great Axe that match his Armor, Average human male height, Average looking face, With a medium size red color beard like his hair, Says with a smirk.
"Spicy bruh...what are you and the guild doing here??" Apollo says as The chat was already saying his name and going crazy with emotes.
"Dude We are just as lost as You...The Queen and king Sent a messenger to us a few days ago in game Right when you got out of your tutorial telling us come here to the castle." Spicy says with confusion on his face.
"Its because of you and your Guild fate to meet here today Master Apollo and his comrades." The Queen says walking by Along with the king who helped her up the steps towards the two chairs sitting down in their seats The king and Queen look at the travelers.
"Your Here because of this man and now both destines are entwine forever.... Bring Him in!" The Queen yells out as the guards open The large doors to The Throne Room.
A very Tall man With Black long spiky Hair, Built like an Ancient Greek statue, Wearing Red and black Scaled Armor that fits perfectly on him. With A two handed great sword on his back that was Bone colored metal with A Golden Hilt and grip.
The closer he Got Apollo chat was going crazy As they all was repeating His name.
"Master Apollo I would like to introduce you to The one who made it possible for your destiny to be revealed The Legendary Dragon Knight Ryu!"The Queen say in a excited Voice.
Apollo Looked up at The mountain of a man and was jaw dropped by Ryu's Character. Ryu looking down at Apollo With piercing Golden Dragon like eyes. Apollo Felt like he was in front of an actual dragon as invisible sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Uh...Yo bruh! It's awesome to finally meet you Ryu." Apollo says towards a Ryu who just looked at him like he was a piece of meat to chew.
"Uh...Ryu You okay there dood??" Apollo says while swallowing spit with a nervous look.
"BROOOOOOO!!!!! HOLY SHITTTT I CANT BELIEVE ITS ACTUALLY Y-Y-YOU." Ryu yells out with A deafening loud voice as the whole throne Room covered their ears.
"Uh Jesus Dood! that was loud and scary." Apollo says as he recovered from the out burst along with everyone else.
"OH shit sorry Dawg! Sometimes I forget where im at and spaz out." Ryu says while chuckling awkwardly.
The king coughs to get the travelers attention. "Now that you two are now aquintent with one another. The real reason You both have been summoned here is because of an Ancient tale told to the children of this world." The king says with a serious expression as he looked towards the queen who nodded with approval.
"Long Ago....A time Where All the races of [Euphoria] Was Peaceful and all the Continents Were once Just One Super Continent. No Good or No Evil just Life....In Till one Unfaithful day it all Changed. A portal Appeared in the capital city With Demons Stepping out of the portal and Destruction followed.... Killing, Raping, Pillaging, And Torturing the ones they captured. That day changed us Euphorians life's forever. The demons were hellbent on Taking anything and devouring anything as well.
Till one day we decided to fight back...and take back what was ours..... but no matter how much we tried to rebel the demons invasion us Euphorians never could really fight back such power of demons. All we ever could do was pray and finally our prayers were answered.... Angels came down from the heavens clad in white Silver and Golden armor Pure white wings, Along with Dragons that were Fighting along side the Angels.
Fighting back the Demon invasion The war with the Angels and demons continue for years on [Euphoria]. The Angels and dragons Teaching us Euphorians Magic and combat to help fight back The demons. Than Finally the day came for the war to end. The Leader of The Angels and The King Of Dragons had cornered The Demon King With all His Generals Imprisoned or dead. Together They Sealed The Demon King back in his realm.
Before our Saviors left this world and went back to their own...The Leader of the Angels Left us A powerful Sword. That if Evil has returned To Euphoria This Sword Will Choose A Hero and give that hero the power to Vanquish All evil that comes from the darkness. The King of Dragons Stayed along with his Kin Becoming The official Protectors of Life on Euphoria.
Euphoria Was never the same after The Demon invasion. Slowly But surely The Evil That plaque Euphoria wasn't gone... not by a long shot.
The Sins left by The demons had corrupted most of the Races Causing them to become Savages or Worse than the demons that invaded. Wars were started, and the Magic that was taught to us by our Saviors became corrupted Bringing in an Era of different Calamities. With Chaos and Corruption Brought Something That Devours all of Life...Death.
When there is Light...There is also Darkness. To balance The Universal Law. The Time has Finally come For the Sword to be unleashed and Vanquish this Evil on our beloved World. This Sword Has called out to you Master Apollo." The king says towards Apollo Who was looking dumbfounded.
"W-Wait One damn minute how do you even know this sword choose me and where is it??" Apollo says looking confused.
"Its because of my Vision that I had of you pulling the Legendary Sword out of the stone Three nights ago....and Where is the Sword well that's why he is here." The Queen points at a Ryu Who was spaced out humming something as he finally notice everyone looking at him.
"Um... yes? I-I mean Ma'am...S-Sir Majesty???" He asked in a studdering confusion since he wasn't paying attention to none of the dialogue the king and queen was saying. Apollo chat went crazy with laughter and Apollo sighs at the Giant dragon knight along with the paragon Guild face palming.
"Is he seriously apart of our guild?" Apollo asked Spice as he shake his head with a sigh.
"Even though the man acts like this He's actually More than good enough to be on the core raiding team....but we haven't promoted him up yet." Spice Says with a nervous glance at Ryu who was getting scolded by the king and queen like a child.
Before Apollo Could say something else to spice he was cut off by the king's cough.
"Like I was saying before... Ryu Here knows exactly Where the Location of the Legendary Sword Master Apollo." The Queen says with a smile.
"Yeah its located in
"Okay so I'm guessing now that the dragon is gone....I must hurry and secure this powerful weapon before any one else does?" Apollo ask the Queen and king.
"I doubt Any one could pull the thing out other than you...it's called out to you Master Apollo Only you can Wield The Legendary Sword Of power! [Excalibur]." The king Says as Everyone in the throne Room jaws dropped except the king and queen who looked amused at the Travelers.
"Excalibur!!! Holy Shiit Dood!!!" Apollo Yells out while his chat was going crazy with emotes.
"Hahaha! That's right my boy! So it seems even in your world the Sword is known and oh the irony! fact that the Sword Has chosen an outsider of this world to be our Savior!." The king says with A joyful smile and chuckle.
After Few more minutes of talking to the king and queen Apollo and his guild finally left the castle and Now outside of the kingdom making preparation to travel towards
The guild and Apollo was camped outside the kingdom inside a Tent Apollo Sigh Looking towards Live stream screen.
"Chat Even though...I was awarded A Legendary Class Quest...Im still a stupid ass adventurer class noob....But its okay it's only for a little while boys!!! Soon we about to be slaying with a godly weapon." Apollo says talking to his chat and answering questions.
Than all of sudden Spice came through his tent and ask him to come outside its urgent. Apollo ran out behind Spice looking worried but than his facial expression change with a look of surprise.
All his Guildmates at least over A thousand players were waiting on him to come out. Than he saw Spice and his core member standing around A suit of platinum like Armor mixed With White dye. pure White fur around its neck, White long Cape on the back. With A Letter P Engraved in the chest piece.
After looking at the Armor in shock The chat and Guildmates told him to put it on.

[You Have Equipped 1x Platinum armor Gauntlets]
There was no helmet but the armor fit me well.The Rating on the armor was Rare With Each pieces of armor giving Constitution, Endurance, and Strength stats boost by 125. Than Another Guildmate arrived with a Red and golden case holding it as if it was a priceless treasure.
Spice took the case from the Guildmate and handed it to Apollo. Apollo opens the case What he saw in it was nothing short of a master piece.
Apollo Analyze the object in the case.

It was a Giant White silver two handed sword With A platinum Hilt and grip. The sword matches perfect with his Armor making him look bad ass.
"they waiting on you to raise your sword Bro." Spice whisper to Apollo ear as he nodded and raise his sword with a funny battle cry as the Guildmates and viewers in his live stream went crazy.
A few days went by in game as the guild travel towards The forest of Dutch Veil and finally arrived. The guild was more than a thousand strong as players were randomly joining the March.
Once after stopping The ground started to Shake and a world wide system messages went out.
[The Guild
After The system Announcement Another deep Ghostly voice boomed in the background.
"YOU TRAVELERS SHALL RULE THE DAY YOU ATTACK MY DOMAIN!!! FOR DEATH SHALL COME TO ALL THAT TRESPASSES THROUGH MY FOREST!!!" Dutch Veil voice could be heard throughout the Area.
After hearing this Apollo look towards his core Guildmates. That were all standing on a hill looking over The large encampment of players in front of the forest.
"Well Boys....It is Time!" Apollo says with A wide grin and wiggling eyebrows.
