Chapter 3: Mission 2: Don't Die! /Hidden Mission: Cursed Elven's Tunnel

He blissfully walked towards the hidden mission but suddenly paused. He has a normal mission to accomplish first. The hidden mission is almost a kilometer away from the distance so he decided to do the normal mission. He stopped and accepted the mission given by the system.

After reading the mission content, he decided to do the two mission at once. After all, the missions are in the same area. He continued to walk towards while deeply understand his item and skills.

[Celestial Ring(Mythical Item)- a mythical item that contains the power of the cosmos. This ring grants the user to summon the Cosmic Ancient Guardian Ardox as his ally to fight. The user can only summon the guardian for 2 hours a day.]

This is a great item! The only problem here is Ardox. According to what I've read on the IPN Game Facts, most of the players are really scared of him. He took down many organizations and killed countless of players. He's a psychopathic killer guardian! I can't risk to summon him. He might kill me.

[Creation Magic (Mythical Skill)- A god-like skill that ables the user to create anything out of different materials. Imagination of the user must be exemplified. The higher the level of the skill, the higher proficiency of product would be. This skill is not applicable on creating living things. This skill is can be use only three times a day.]

'It's not surprising to be within the mythical skills. It can create new things out of other things, almost like crafting skills but only needs imagination which made the skill more efficient.'

[Dimension Magic (Mythical Skill)- It enables the user travel to other places he/she desires. He/she can go to the place he had been but if the the user can imagine exact details of the area then the skill will be automatically activated. This skill can be use three times a day.]

'This is an awesome skill!'

[Astral Magic (Mythical Skill)- Light from the stars can be sensed everywhere. Thus, this can made the user bend the light of the stars on his own will. Proficient imagination of the user is required to use the skill at will. This skill can be use for only three times a day.]

A sudden thought came to him after reading the details of the skills which made a terrible smirk on his face. All the skills requires imagination. That's what he's really good at! He can't wait to try the skills in use.

After half an hour of walking, he heard some footsteps walking towards him. He hide behind a big tree near him and stood silently not trying to make any noise.

'Hey, the mission will start soon. Where in hell that camp was located?'

'Easy buddy. We're almost there. Just don't let your guards down. Some players here are killing others to steal weapon's and radan.'

'Right, let's hurry'

Soon, the two players walked again deep the forest. Wyvon began to think after hearing those conversations. He suddenly feel nervous and terrified knowing that there could be some players everywhere right now. He continued the journey to the hidden mission. Even if its night time already, the forest is not too dark after all. Some bugs and leaves are illuminating dim lights enough for his eyes to see what's ahead.

His nervousness began to wear off when a strange plant with a fruit of bluish marbles came in sight. This is the trigger to the hidden mission. When he's about to pick the fruit, the ground began to shake. Cracks in the ground can be found everywhere and the trees began to fall. The mission is about to start.

[The mission will start in 3, 2, 1.]

[Good luck players!]

[Survival Countdown: 11:59:58]

He rapidly grabbed the fruit and ate three pieces.

Monsters began to rise from the cracks and glances at Wyvon's place. He panicked while still waiting for the systems notification. Finally, it arrived.

[You have discovered a hidden mission!]

[Accept the mission?]

"Accept!"

He shouted with his breath as the creatures slowly surrounding him.

[You will be teleported somewhere in the forest]

[Teleportation in 3, 2, 1]

"Ahhh!" He shouted covering his face as the creatures jumped together towards his location with an open mouth, ready to bite.

He waited a second later but he can't feel any pain. That's when he decided to look around. He is inside a cave and theres a dark tunnel ahead. A strange feeling began to wrap his whole body and gives him chills.

[You have now entered a hidden mission.]

[Hidden Mission: Cursed Elven's Tunnel

Intel Data: Cursed elves are deformed creatures, together with the forest beast has received an evil curse from the from the Dryad. Help them lift the curse.

Probability of Difficulty: 100%

Rewards:?

Time limit: 12:00:00

Penalty: ?]

"That's why the creatures from the forest are so scary! I have to finish this as soon as possible. I have a class tommorow."

He decided to make some preparations before proceeding the mission.

"Creation Magic: Invisible Cloak"

[Creation of Invisible Cloak successful.]

His ragged clothes turned into a ragged cloak. It may be ragged but the quality of the cloak is better.

[Ragged Cloak (Master Item)- The user's presence can be concealed in 4 hours time. It may unconceal if the user accidentally received an attack or your body vitality becomes unstable. Concealment can be cancelled at will.]

"This is enough for now. I'll catch the flow later." he thought and began to walk silently in the tunnel. Just like the forest, this tunnel have glittering gems that makes the surrounding dim in light enough for his eyes to see the way. If other players enter the tunnel, it will take them forever to solve the mission. First, the tunnel is like a root of a tree. It has bunch of interconnected passages that would take months or years for you to see a dead end unless you know already the right path to enter. Second, the Intel Data from the mission doesn't describe how to lift the curse and this lack of information will lead to anyone's death.

He suddenly made a stop and hide behind a big rock when shadows of unidentified creatures run towards his direction. He carefully sneak his head at the side of the rock to see the creature behind it. They are black in colors wearing white silk clothes. They have a huge built and their hands have long claws. The ears of the creatures are pointed and traces of blood can be seen in their body. They are elves. Wyvon feels terrified right now because they might kill him if they discovered his place.

"Quick! The intruder might run in the other way!"

The elves run again finding someone they called an 'intruder'.

He continued again to walk while thinking that he might be the intruder they're after. He needs to find first a small cave in the deep tunnel where a certain item is located. It is one of the three key ingredients for lifting the curse.

Half an hour later when he reached the cave where the item could be found. He entered the cave and same glittering lights can be found everywhere. But thats not the time for him to be fascinated. He quickly run towards the numerous compiled rocks to find the highest one. Finally, he found it at the most secluded part of the cave. He started to remove the piled rocks one at a time. He deactivated his Ragged Cloak because no one seems to be in that place.

"Goodness! This is too heavy. It would be great if someone would help me."

"I could help you."

"Oh come on. Please help me lifting this.... Who are you?!" He became aware of the situation. A girl speak earlier. He grabbed the stone and turn around to see the person but piled stones nearby reached his sight.

"Whe...Where are you hiding?! Come out now!" He nervously shouted thinking that it's a ghost. Aside from real death, ghost is one of his weakness. He really hate ghost, even ghost stories. Realization came to his thoughts. 'Fuck, this place is a cemetery!'. He finally concluded.

A sudden rustling movement from the nearby rocks can be heard and a huge black girl in white silk clothes with claws came out. Wyvon was shocked for a moment and his eyes began to travel from foot to head. A big black foot with long sharp nail, a muscular body like an olympic maniac, a pair of sharp hand claws and a very disturbing face. A big black head, long curly hair with a swollen cheeks and big sharp teeth with a pointed ears smiling infront of him.

"Hi, intruder! The guards are right. You're so ugly!"

What the... Ugly? Me?

"You're ugly too! The most horrible look I've ever seen!"

"I know right! But you'll get shock when the c.."

"Who are you? Why are you here? Speak!"

"Do you know that I'm not finished to talk..."

"Answer my questions first"

"Fine, I'm Princess Angelica Tohmia of the Elven Clan. I'm 2056 year's old and.."

"You're a princess?! Really? The name 'Angelica' really doesn't suits you. Being honest, you seriously look like a trash. Besides your age compliments your looks anyways. Now, answer the next question." Wyvon smiles as if he concluded an intriguing idea. He realized that the mission will be done earlier than he thought.

"You son of a bitch! I'm here to help you!"

"How will you help me?" He continued to move the rocks while listening to the black girl.

"A prophecy has been announced after the Dryad cursed us. She said that an intruder will lift the curse. Well, you're the first too intrude this place! You will lift the curse right? Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"You talk too much. You're here too help right? Come here and do your job!"

"Ok! What should I call you?"

"Call me 'Oppa'. In a sweet tone only. Dig into the rocks."

"Yes, Oppa!"

Wyvon almost burst into laughters when she said 'Oppa' because it sounds scary than being sweet.

Angelica did all the job while Wyvon rested thinking of his lessons for the class tommorow.

"Oppa, look! I found it!" Angelica run towards him holding a bone in her left hand.

[You have obtained an Ordinary Item!]

[Last bone of Hero Riq(Ordinary Item)- Riq is a late hero of the Eleven Clan. He sacrificed his life saving the whole clan. This item may be used as a life sacrifice to save the Elven Clan once more.]

"Good job, Angelica! Let's head towards the next item."
