An average life
Lex tapped frequently on the buttons, his eyes pale red , absolutely lost in the application form. His gaze shifted to the coffee cup that was laid beside the laptop. He grabbed the handle, taking a sip, then used the opportunity to stare at the other empty seats in the open office. He was the only one left there; he'd meant to have left work over an hour ago, but thought to stay a while since he had absolutely nothing important to do back in his apartment.Even in his mid-twenties, Lex could be said to be the perfect definition of an average human. He stared at the coffee cup – it was empty. He had to refill it now, he thought to himself. He stood, walking towards the coffee machine, using the controller to pour more of the averagely tasty liquid into the cup.As the coffee was being refilled, Lex peered at the television attached to the wall, not so distant from where he stood. The news channel was on. He grinned as he glanced at the female news caster's slightly revealing curve
A boring Death
A few minutes later, Lex arrived at the market. The place bustled with noise and activities. Even at this time of the night, it was densely packed with people. Stalls lined side by side; sellers shouted over each other, advertising their goods. The air was thick with the smell of spice and sweat. Meat sizzled in oily pans, and fried chicken brought a satisfying aroma.Lex joyfully walked into the market, merging with the dense crowd. His shoulders brushed the pedestrians as he walked by. A few minutes later, he arrived at a food stall, tucked tightly between two closed boutique shops. A bunch of tables were laid around the stall. Seating at a particular table was a bunch of high school students, chattering endlessly. A high school was not too far from the market, so it was usually filled with final-year students who were allowed to roam free at night."Lex!" "Long time no see," a woman who was around her mid-fifties spoke, a warm smile crossing her face. The warmth matched that of the
Aetheria
Lex jolted awake, sitting up as he yelled, "Please don't kill me!" "Not yet!" His eyes were heavy; he was drenched in an ocean of sweat from top to bottom. Something was definitely strange; he was sure he was dead a few moments ago.He opened his eyes; around him was an unending white mist, in which he floated amidst. "What is this place?" "Am I dead or alive?" Lex muttered to himself. He was so engrossed in the mist he barely noticed the stray hair dangling down towards his forehead. It was blonde.Lex was shocked; the last time he saw his hair, he remembered it was pitch black, no less. "Where am I?" He felt a sudden ache in his head and around his body. He tried to scream but couldn't, as a severe pain coursed through his entire being. Strange memories began forcing their way into his head – foreign memories. He muttered through the pain, "What's going on?"About thirty minutes later, Lex could move again. He felt absolutely different. He took a stare at his hands; there were var
First Quest
For thousands of years, the magical world of Aetheria stood strong, its land vast in an unending expanse could be varied as dozens of Earth joined together. It was ruled solely by the immortal emperor Gregor, who remained on the throne for centuries.During his reign, the world of Aetheria was invaded by evil magic beasts who arose from dungeons through portals, seeking only destruction and chaos. The death of Gregor in the peak of battle and sorrowful cry of the inhabitants of the land awoke the great primordial dragon, Zordon.Zordon empowered them to fight back, resorting in the awakening of mages, magical knights, and adventurers. It also created an onyx core with the ability to seal the portals immediately they appeared. Only if the seal was totally broken or the dungeon within cleared, there was no way out. After these, Zordon then went back to sleep.Since then, the world of Aetheria was ruled by various nobles who comprised the great three sets of warriors awakened by the dr
A Daughter's Favor
In the small city of Greyl, there is only one noble, A knight, sire Barristan who is one out of many nobles in the world of Aetheria, he only punishes his offenders in three ways."Either they become his servants or maidens or he sells them as servants or maidens or uses them to gather resources in the advent of a raid. It's only very rare for him to execute a slave," Kate enlightened Lex.A thoughtful look appeared on Lex's face, he absolutely knew all that she had said but wasn't going to miss the slightest opportunity of engaging her in a conversation."So sire Barristan's declaring my execution was merely a bluff to show to the other noble's who had attended his daughter's party.""Yes," confirmed Kate, a warm smile forming on her face."Looks like we'll get to pick up dungeon resources together then," Lex spoke, smiling sheepishly."Not really," female slaves are usually rarely allowed to participate in dungeon works.She then murmured, "I'll likely be sold to a tavern or used as
A Daughter's Request
I have a request of mine too, Elle continued."A request?" Lex thought to himself, "what could it possibly be?"'Ask on, your highness," Lex spoke as he stole a glance of the noble's daughter; she was even more perfect than he had described in the story, she seemed stunned as she also got a clear look of his face.Elle then cleared her throat as she spoke, "I would like you to join the ongoing lower hand quest in the city of Greyl."Lex's face went blank; that was the least of his expectations.The noble's daughter had just indirectly asked him on what he would have called an earthly date, but through strenuous and dangerous means.The lower hand quest was a quest which could be tried by every man in the city or even beyond the city of Greyl, whether with the ability of a knight or not; that included servants like Lex.The competition involved going on various raids to dangerous dungeons and surviving in each; after the last raid, which would be the most dangerous, each of the knights
Dungeon Raid
Dane walked up to Nox. "I've been sent by the noble's daughter to escort the slaves into the dungeon.""Escort?" Nox asked, surprised, glancing at the prisoners who were now beaming with joy; he proceeded to ask Dane more questions.Lex knew the noble's daughter had some interest in him, but sending Dane, a gifted knight, to watch over him was more than expected.He pondered for a while but didn't come up with any form of answer; it was probably her using him as some sort of pawn.He, along with Dane and the others, proceeded into the dungeon through the rope, landing directly on muddy ground.Lex glanced around; the dungeon was dimly lit, with a bunch of crystalline rocks; the prisoners immediately rushed and began picking them.Lex was about to join in when Kate stopped him with her hand."What's wrong, Kate? We're going to fall behind. Let's go deeper; there should be more down there."Lex nodded his head as he followed; after a few steps of walking further, Kate stopped in her tra
Slaying goblins
They were three large holes, dug through the ragged wall, a faint glimmer reflecting from each.Kate closed her eyes, sniffing through the holes."What do you sense, Kate?" Asked Lex."They're all filled with various crystalline rocks along with other treasures. Which should we go then?""None are safe; they are all teeming with monsters.""Wait here," interrupted Dane, "I'll go through the one on the left; when I'm done slaying the remaining goblins, you can all join, and mine."Each of the prisoners accepted.Except Elle, who had a mischievous smirk attached to her face.Lex watched the green armoured knight enter into the hole on the left.From the decision Dane took, it was obvious he didn't have a lot of experience with dungeons; if a dungeon never collapsed, it meant somewhere within, the boss of the dungeon was still alive."System?" Echoed Lex in his mind.{Yes host} The mechanical voice of the system answered."I know it's not a total part of your programming, but in order f
Dungeon Boss
There was a loud rumbling sound from the pond behind her; she shifted, turned; bubbles floated from the pond continuously.Slowly emerging from the midst of the bubbles was a large red Qalupalik; its eyes, blood shot, sent tremors of fear into Kate's body as she gazed at it.It was larger than the others they had fought with earlier; the edges of its scales were red, it had four large elastic fins, each pierced with a red bracelet, barely fitting the pond area.It shot a fin at Kate; she leapt, twirling on air as she landed steadily, further towards the back, purring loudly.She then summoned her beast form; her body restructured at a quick rate.There was an instant release of energy from the Red Qalupalik; it dazed Kate for a few seconds; her transformation paused along with her movement; she no longer had control of her body.The Qalupalik immediately used the opportunity to lunge another fin at her.It wrapped the dazed Kate tightly, hurling her towards the pond; Kate used all of
Kate
Lex slowly got out of the pond with the help of the green armoured knight; he hit the ground, shivering; his body stained with blood from top to bottom; an evil darting smile carved across his well-shaped face; he defeated the boss.{Congratulations!}{You defeated the blood lust Qalupalik!}{Job change quest accomplished}{Job change in procedure...}Lex turned to the side, shocked to see Kate laid directly beside him."What happened?" He asked Dane, quite agitated."She's gone," Dane spoke, shaking his head to and fro."That's all you ever do!" Snarled Lex as he positioned Kate well on his laps.He then felt her chest; Dane wasn't wrong about her being dead; he couldn't feel her heartbeat again!"This cannot be possible," thought Lex in his mind; "system, is there any way you could help me?""System?" Dane asked, confused.The system was silent for a second, then.. {Donate mana stones for an elixir of restoration.} The mechanical voice of the system answered plainly."How many do I
