2026-01-12 05:11:02(Alfonso's pov)
How long has it been since I met another living being stepped into my lab, I have been trapped here for so long trying to break through and become a true mage. After all my years of research and experiments, I can finally feel that I'm on the verge of breakthrough, yet these pests dare to barge into my lab disrupting my moment of enlightenment.
Rage… that is all I feel at this moment, I can't be at peace of I don't draw out their souls and use it as fuel for my lanterns.
Who dares disturb my research?!!. This wasn't directed as a question because I did not need an answer, I can see the culprits standing in my laboratory.
An unassuming male with no notable features except his demeanour, he had the look of someone who got swindled and on the verge of crying.
The young lady beside was also average, her green eyes were something normal in this realm anyways.
Seeing no reason to waste time with them, I flung my hand forward sending a wave of mana bolts towards the intruders, this basic spell is usually enough to deal with pests below awakening.
Crash!!!!
Tilting my head to the left, a conical flask wisked past where my head was a few seconds ago. How dare they fight back, even using my own tools as projecti…. Crashhh!!!.
A table flew towards me from across the room, It crashed into my mana shield doing nothing but fueling my rage.
The male figure pushed off of his feet bolting towards me with speed I didn't expect, within a second he was already in front of me throwing his fist out.
With a click of my fingers, the mana around me exploded sending him flying back towards the entrance of the room. Before he could hit the ground his female partner caught him.
Preparing a spell to wipe out then both out, something was thrown towards me again. It was a….. human??, that blasted fool of a woman, she actually hurled her partner right back to me using him as a projectile.
Bam!!
The male figure crashed into my mana barrier, not that I wasn't prepared for the idiot who had an even more idiotic partner.
Flicking my wrist, a paper scroll appeared in left hand. Pouring my mana into the scroll I could see the sigils on it light up with a blue colour, and then i tossed the scroll towards the girl.
Midflight the scroll transformed into a Ragin ball of fire causing an explosion to go off in the lab. When the flames touched my chemicals they would ignite and explode thereby leading even more explosions.
That's should have dealt with that foolish woman for sure. The damage to lab was massive, but I was gonna abandon this place soon anyways.
Aahhhhhhh!!!!, fuck it hurts like hell!!
I could hear a miserable scream originating from the ever growing flames. It was good to hear suffering.
One down.
Looking to feet I failed to find her male counterpart, he was passed out on the ground just a few seconds ago.
Just then a chill crept up my spine as I sensed something ominous behind me.
In haste I turned around only to find yet another projectile flying towards me. Another one of my many flasks almost no different from the others, but I could tell right away that I could not let it touch by any means.
The blood of an adult corrosive salamander wasnt something I could deal with at my level. It meant certain death.
With fear visible on my face I erected another mana barrier while tossing out another scroll simultaneously, a third barrier was created by my scroll but it did not help much as it was destroyed in a matter of milliseconds.
My second barrier…
My third and last barrier…
As my final line of defence i swung my robe upwards In one fluid motion in a useless attempt to slow the blood. It was as I said useless as the robe was corroded instantly, but the barriers weren't set up to protect me anyways, it was simply a means to stall for time and Charge my final resort.
With a black flash of light of the ring on my left thumb exploded as I dissapeared from the lab, my destination unknown.
(Rejoice pov).
Urrgghhh!!!! Aahhhh!!
Everything hurt like hell and I had it much better than Athena-sama. She crawled her way out of the fire that quickly spreading everywhere save for the alter, rushing to her I helped her up to the altar where the fire couldn't reach for some reason.
She looked horrible.
She almost naked with second degree burns all over her body, most players would have logged out by now from the pain after all it was just a game, there was no need to torture one's self.
Why dont you relog? I suggested, you will reappear here so don't worry about finding this place again. I was honestly worried about her.
“ Nah I can take this much, this shitty game is quite realistic tho, I almost went into shock from the pain but I guess thats the thrill”.
Are you a pervert?
“You wanna die?“
Ahem….. never mind.
“So what now?, will that wierdo be back?, he sort of just dissapeared on us…. Quite rude actually”
Would you have preferred his company over mine, I can always tell him that when next we run into him.
“I'm good, I prefer you”
Oh really? im proud to have a loyal partn…
“You make a great throwing weapon” she added with a smirk.
I now officially hate women, don't ask why.
Anyways about that mage guy, I think he used a teleportation talisman of sorts. Those things should only work in a one way direction so I don't think he is coming back.
“Thats a relief cause I can't take anymore of this”.
We got beat up pretty badly huh?
[ Congratulations on….. chasing the mage away… I guess, oh well at least you didn't die.
Your party has managed to secure Alfonso's lair… even though it's ablaze.
You have gained 300rc..
You have acquired Alfonso's magic tome..
You have acquired sacrificial dagger..
Remark: Alfonso is alive and well, better grow stronger before he seeks you out.]
That was very helpful I guess.
“Where the fuck are the health potions?“.
Language lady.
Athena-sama shot me a glare, not that I cared anyways, the fruits from the tree has the regeneration property. Thats why Alfonso chose this place as his base.
By the way why didn't you use that metal rod from before?, I asked with genuine curiosity.
“I lost it when I fell the ground during the stat assimilation thingy. I guess I just didn't bother picking it up right after”.
I sighed to myself, this lady was really unreliable when it counted.

Avatar001 immediately tossed a syringe to rogue josh, who caught it mid air, injecting himself in a a heart beat.The trio fought off the nether beasts but we're inching closer to the edge of the settlement.Before the twenty second countdown was up all three of them were already at their designated spot.Avatar001 gave the Command, promting all three of them to simultaneously jump of the floating settlement. Those who saw this scene were astonished, thinking the trio had given up on fighting and decided to kill themselves. But they couldn't have been more wrong.The trio fell hand in hand in a sort of triangular formation. They fell freely through the air, the night wind caressing their exposed skins.Avatar001: little mate were almost at ground level, prepare to use your skill.Rogue josh: yes sir.The ground became more vivid the longer they fell, all the palm sized houses expanded rapidly in thier visions.The different street lamps that illuminated the territory became more obvio
threat of extinction
The group ran at their top speed towards the exit of the floating settlement, but they weren't alone, every living being on that levitating piece of land had felt the dread, and even those beyond that settlement had felt it.Hundreds of people were all running at the same time, most disregarding their properties and belonging, even loved ones.By the time the trio got to the designated spot for aircrafts, tons of people were already boarding the available ones and descending at an astonishing speed.Rogue josh even spotted a driver get directly thrown of their hot air balloon, many more were being threatened.It was clear these guys wouldn't be getting any Payment for their services.The number of aircrafts available reduced rapidly, the trio were in a dilemma right now, they were much stronger than these people so robbing these regular humans of a spot to the ground was easy but just evil.But at the same time since they were stronger than most people on the settlement, they could at
Rift break
A few minutes before the rift break.Rogue Josh stood over the body of his now deceased opponent, he stared blankly into the night with his vision focused on nothing in particular. He was reading the notifications he had gotten after his victory.[You have slain Orora timfel, lvl14You have gained expYou have leveled upYour have created a new skill, [dagger barrage]dagger barrage: overwhelm your foes with a flurry of fast attacks.Mana cost: 10Cooldown: 120s“New skill huh?, classic”, he said with a relived sigh, that fight had almost ended him and even now he had no more stamina to engage in another battle.Rogue Josh thought back to the battle with the woman the system had called Orora, she was skilled, very much so and it had been thanks to his mana core and intense training in the past few days that he had triumphed.In the last part of the battle he had used some trickery to create an opening so he could finish her off with backstab, the skill had a strict condition of gettin
Warm welcome
Dreamweaver stood in front of his opponent completely speechless, he had crashed into the building earlier through the roof. There were only five people alive at this point but the reason Dreamweaver was surprised was for a different reason.He had forgotten about this fellow to be honest, thinking back to his first day on the island he had actually come a long way.“Long time no see Alfonso”, Dreamweaver greeted the older man with a friendly wave.Alfonso grimaced at the sight of the familiar face, this idiot had once put a hole in all his plans. Probably by pure coincidence too.“Where is that female companion of yours, I do hope she is in the realm of souls”, Alfonso cursed.“That's too harsh, seeing me after so long don't you think a warm welcome would be more deserving”, dreamweaver remarked playfully, his smile was genuine too, like a someone who saw a friend after a very long time.Alfonso's face twisted in rage as his hands tightened around his staff, “oh do expect a warm welc
A hard fought battle
Rogue josh promptly covered his face with his hood.[Obsidian hide set effective has been activated,Movement speed +30%]The familiar sensation of stats increasing came swiftly, he still went on to reinforce his his blades with mana. He only had 190mp left so he had to be frugal on this fight.The woman's robes fluttered as the wind caressed her figure, her eyes locked onto Rogue Josh as her lips curled in mockery, ”I'll sacrifice your essence to the almighty Lord Imphal and he shall grant me greater power in turn”.Her voice was still being carried by the wind when she blurred, crossing the distance between her and rogue josh in an instant.But this time he was prepared.Her hands that had been coated In sharp and deadly wind blades, cleaved the air aimed at rogue Josh's neck.Clang!!Clang!! Clang!!Multiple sounds of metal striking metal rang out, sparks flew as Rogue Josh deflected every blow just at the last second .This could have been a risky thing to do, especially since the
Massacre
Rogue Josh: whoa i didn't know you had a buff skill, are you a paladin or something?Dreamweaver: ye, sort of.Avatar001: focus, i suggest we make a disturbance at the front door, the amount of enemies who can stand in the hallway should not be much. That way we don't get overwhelmed.Rogue josh: that's boring.Dreamweaver: I know right?Avatar001: fine then I'll solo the bloody hallway, you two cause chaos on the inside.Rogue Josh: now that's a plan, attack once you see my signal.Dreamweaver: what signal?Rogue josh: you'll know it when you see it.Avatar001: I knew you would say something like that, bloody cliche.A few minutes later, the sound of shouting reached the duo from where they were hiding. A massive ball of scorching flames crashed out of the building, setting parts of the roof ablaze.The duo looked at each other with tacit understanding, “that's the signal alright”, they both thought.Without any other words Dreamweaver ran out from hiding, peeling off his cloak in on
