The Providence team collected all the loot dropped by the Boss’s defeat. [ Boss Drops ][ Giant Horn x 6 ][ Dungeon Ore x 30 ][ Gatekeeper’s Helm x 1 ][ Gatekeeper’s Armor x 1 ][ Gatekeeper’s Shoes x 1 ]Most of the equipment was too high level to be equipped by the players. Noah refused to accept any of them. Therefore, they were stored in inventory.The credit rewards were plenty and were distributed evenly among the team members."1 million?!" Piper exclaimed in disbelief. Killing the boss got us 1 million credits?!" "It makes sense," Blade explained. "This is an S-class dungeon, after all. Though we are mainly targeting the loot and the boss drops." "The God-tier weapon, you mean? Where do you think it could be hidden?""Well, most likely, it would be a reward for killing the final boss. But you never know. S-class dungeons could be completely different from regular ones.""I wonder if there is other good equipment here. The Giant equipment is obviously useless. The best p

"So… dark elves live in volcanic areas," Alice read from her HUD. "They are immune to fire attacks." She was going through the World Trinity Network Database on monsters."What else?" Edmund asked."They have ice, water, earth, and lightning resistance.""Any vulnerabilities? I'm sure our agents had encountered the species before and figured out its weaknesses."The Bridge-1 team was huddled at the entrance of the bridge. Edmund refused to let the team move forward until they had a battle plan ready.Alice pursed her lips. "Hmm. That's strange. They have no weaknesses. None whatsoever." "What? That's not possible. Every species has a weakness.""Intelligent species can selectively procreate and eliminate genetic defects and vulnerabilities," the Assistant Director explained. "That's why the outland monsters are so leveled up and dangerous. They've been consciously tweaking natural selection and evolution.""But these are monsters, aren't they?" Elektra asked. "How the hell do they kno

Alexa walked briskly ahead of the others on the team. Her muscles were tense, and she spat every now and then in anger. Her fingers twitched, generating fire sparks."She looks like a ticking bomb. Shouldn't somebody go and talk to her?" Skylar suggested to the rest of the group."Let her be, kid." Blade offered, shaking his head. "I know her better than most. Alexa and I went to training together, you see? She was this popular, cheerful girl who fell in love with one of our batchmates, Dom Faust. They were like prom queen and king." "What does that have to do with her present mood?""You see… Alexa and Dom were posted to Goldibad after we graduated.""Oh? Were they teammates? Where is Dom now?"Blade sighed. "They ran a campaign against a hybrid space pirates gang called the MANEATERS. One of their double agents betrayed them. He had them walk into a trap laid by the pirates." Skylar raised her eyebrows. "What happened?""The entire squad was wip

"Eve!" Alexa exclaimed. "Did Edmund get our call for help?""Where are the rest?" Piper asked, straining his eyes to see beyond the fog.Eve shook her head. "They have their own big fish to fry. The Commander is facing an army of dark elves, most likely led by another special class.""Oh," Skylar replied. "Then he should not have spared you. We could have handled this situation.""Oh really? The situation doesn't look handled."The girls giggled nervously. "Someone, give me a rundown."Blade spoke up. "What you see is a special class cavern demon called the Jokesmith. I think centuries of evolution have metamorphosed a mindless monster into a sentient god class. Its intelligence and raw power are off the charts, comparable to the Gandrgator King before evolution. Armors, shields, and magical attacks mean nothing to him in battle. Our last resort, the anti matter gun, barely gave him a burn. I don't know how we are going to fight this force of nature!"Eve nodded and tightened her gras

Noah ran like the wind. There was only one thing on his mind. The love of his life, Eve. The nightmare about King Jorm taking her away haunted him all the time.What if the nightmare was a premonition for these events? What if another god class abducted her or, worse, killed her? Noah could not imagine where his mind would go if such a thing happened.Of course, he cared about other people, including his best friend, Piper, and his Trinity girls, Skylar and Alice. He also did not want Jack Chrysalis and Providence members to die. However, he'd be shattered if something were to happen to Eve.Noah passed by Bridge 2's exit but did not even pause to look into the passage. He soldiered on and, in a few minutes, reached Bridge 3. A small group of players was gathered there."Oh, thank God!" Noah said in relief. "You guys are alright! What happened?"Captain Edmund spoke up. "Crazy things happened, Lovelord. We encountered an entire army of dark elves. Along with them were a few overpowere
