SKILLS Swordmaster Lv 1 INVENTORY --------------- William had played a little bit of videogames at local game shops in the past, thus he was familiar with the meaning and function of several basic components of the system. However, there were a few elements he could not grasp, so he inquired immediately. [ Legacy Order: A unique grading system among legacies. The first level up in this grading system is obtained at level 50. A special set of rewards comes with Order ] "Hmm, I wonder what mine might be. What about the one regarding Blessing?" [ Blessings: Win the grace of a divine being through your actions and receive a blessing, temporary or permanent. These blessings include unique stats, buffs, affinity, skills..ETC ] "Understood." William concluded, yet he remained troubled by his uneven stats. "My agility is twenty percent above the average human and my strength and defense are average, but why the fuck is my luck just 3 points?" Was this the reason why his entire life on earth had been so miserable thus far? Could this be why he always moved from one trouble to another immediately after sorting out the previous one? "That explains it." William sighed. "Doesn't matter now. I can level up and improve my stats gradually." Allowing negativity at this stage of his mission would only hamper his overall planning, so he resolved to think positively about everything. He lay down on the bed and stared at the ceiling as his mind began to wander through a myriad of thoughts. Half an hour after he had laid down, two soldiers knocked on his tent and delivered three scrolls containing the written reports he had requested. William took the scrolls inside, placed them on the desk, sat down, and proceeded to study them with serious focus. The texts on the scrolls were different from any script he had ever set his eyes on, they almost appeared as enigmatic symbols. Normally, he would have been unable to decipher the meaning of these texts, but thanks to Glossa Arcanum, he found that he could read and understand them with ease and without difficulty. While studying the first scroll, his eyes widened slightly. "Grim market day of Muzez Kingdom; the day the evil cults appeared in the most popular market, slaughtered hundreds of people and abducted several dozens. Wow, I never expected the kill count to be this high, those cultists are truly evil." William muttered under his breath as he scanned through the first scroll. It primarily detailed the cult's activities in Muzez Kingdom and specified that the exact number of abducted people reached two thousand. From the information on the first scroll, he also learned that Muzez Kingdom was not the only target of the cult, other territories surrounding the kingdom had likewise faced the same grim fate. The first scroll provided him with all the essential details concerning the kingdom and the abduction. The second scroll contained all the information that the True Wizard organization had gathered concerning Dark Island and the cult group known as Gravemind Orders. According to the scroll, the Gravemind Order is an ancient group that existed for centuries, they had operated silently in the past without incurring the wrath or attention of major kingdoms and military forces. However, everything changed two years ago when they made their first move on Muzez Kingdom and several neighbouring kingdoms. Based on the wizards’ gathered intelligence, the cult was working on a dark project that required living sacrifices, the project could make them stronger, which is why they were unafraid of drawing attention to themselves. The scroll further noted that the cult primarily practiced necromancy, blood magic, demonic magic, and curse magic. "Well, that is strange," William whispered as he continued on to the last scroll, which detailed the journey they had undertaken and the dangers they faced along the way. "Corrupted humans and beast?" was underlined and rendered in larger text than the rest of the page, instantly capturing William's attention. He wondered what exactly these corrupted humans and beast were. But fate was about to grant him a more vivid understanding. He was just about to begin studying the final scroll when loud shouts erupted from outside, a commotion was brewing. "Alert! Those corrupted bastards are attacking again!" "Everyone, brace yourselves! You there, you, and you—protect the king tent." "Someone tell the hero!" "Hey, they're approaching fast!" "Fuck!" The voices rang out loudly. They carried an unmistakable note of terror and deep worry. Before William could fully comprehend what was unfolding, a holographic window suddenly appeared. --------- URGENT QUEST OBJECTIVE: The encampment is under attack, slay the enemies and protect the king. REWARD: 250 EXP PENALTY: -60% likability amongst the soldiers. ------------- "An urgent quest?" He wasn’t expecting it. "Hero, hero! Please come help us!" One soldier dashed into the tent without knocking. William turned toward the intruder with a calm expression, even though he strongly resented the fact that the soldier had entered without knocking. Realizing his error, the soldier offered a small bow and apologized before reiterating the information. "Corrupt humans are attacking the camp, we seek your assistance, please." "I will be outside in a minute," William replied. The soldier bowed his head before dashing out of the tent. "Inventory" William opened his inventory and equipped his sword. [ Basic sword equipped, +2 STRENGTH ] [ Swordmaster Lv1 activated ] A peculiar surge of strength enveloped his body the moment he equipped the sword. "This is my chance to test my strength and prove myself useful." William stepped outside the tent and was immediately met by a heated scene of soldiers brandishing their weapons against what appeared to be other humans. Or rather, creatures bearing a human resemblance. "What the fuck!" William felt genuine terror as his eyes met the appearance of the enemies.

Early morning had already arrived over the dark island. The sun shone brightly over the evil island, radiating a strong golden glow and heat.The sun easily permeated the small confinement of the room which only comprised of a few wooden chairs, a bed and a tall wooden cupboard where the previous owner of the room kept their wands and attires.Inside a spacious, dimly-lit room at the dark island, the core members of the two groups could be seen standing around a small desk.Melissa and Peterson brought out a more detailed ancient map of the place and described it to William and Theobald who represented their group. Only two members were allowed to attend the meeting thus both of them were sent."The first three floors are very easy to clear, they comprise mostly of mid-level apprentice wizards with barely enough mana in their mana reserve to cast powerful spells. While they are a little bit stronger than the wizards guarding the fences, they are not that much trouble for a well-traine

The crew ended up spending more than half an hour discussing about the plans to infiltrate the dark tower, how to act within it, how to avoid suspicions, path to follow, and where to find certain important people inside the tower.Most of the explanation was done by Peterson, the trustworthy assassin of Melissa's squad. His information and description were clear and vivid—better than reading it from a map.Melissa and a few members of her squad also added to the information available. As they had been around the tower for several days, their understanding of the place was an important lesson to William and the others.During their discussions, they had to halt several times—either when the surveillance light flashed in their direction or when actual members of the cult walked by.They were able to finish their discussion without drawing that much attention to themselves.After they were done discussing, they began preparing to act on the plans they had just finalized."Here."Melissa

William and the crew, now under disguise, were strolling around. From ahead, a group of Gravemind cultist strolled in their direction.They were about fifteen of them in numbers, each of them stood tall with heights above six feets. A few of them had huge muscular builds similar to Theobald's.Their strides were filled with arrogance, something the other cultist William had slayed lacked.William was the first to notice the oddity of the group marching in their direction, and he couldn't help but frown. Why were they so different from the others? he asked himself.William kept his eyes on the small group as they closed in on each other. His eyes was fixed on that of the biggest one in the ground who, coincidentally, also had his eyes locked with his. William could sense weird emotions from his eyes as they jammed; it was something between hatred and disgust.The two groups were just a few meters away from walking past each other. The silence between them stronger than ever, almost as

A few men adorning dark robes and masks could be seen patrolling the mighty fence that enclosed the evil gathering of Gravemind cult. They walked in separate groups, each of them moving in different directions, ensuring that all the perimeter of the fence was covered at all times.A small group of three cultists could be seen strolling together while discussing amongst themselves, unaware of the arrival of an unstoppable opponent."I heard the great leader would be arriving tonight," one of them brought up a new conversation."Frederico told me about that a few hours ago, I thought he was lying. So you guys heard the same thing?" The one in the middle replied."Frederico wasn't lying, I overheard two of our superiors discussing about his arrival.""I suspect something important would go down in a few days. The great leader never visits the tower unless for a very important event, could it be that the preparing of the grand ritual has been completed and he is here to finalize it?"The

William and the crew could be seen strolling towards the vast water body with silent and cautious step. At the moment, each of them had a long black fabric covering their head. The black fabric served as a camouflage each time the beam of the light rotated in their direction.As the land was plain and filled with dark sand and skeletal remains, covering themselves in black clothings made them more difficult to detect from afar.Thankfully, this barren land had no sort of abnormalities, not even corrupted creatures that usually raided the night.If there were unlucky enough to have faced anyone, their location would be revealed to the cult once and their entire plan would be ruined."Walk faster! We need to be at the island before morning arrives!"Theobald announced to the others while strolling beside the hero. Both of them took long strides forward, their eyes cautiously scanning their surroundings from time to time.King Julian and the others increased their pace and soon caught up

After the peculiar sensation of passing through the portal faded, William found himself standing in a strange, unfamiliar location."Wow!"The scene before him prompted the hero to exclaim in genuine astonishment.Spread before his eyes was a vast, barren land plunged into darkness and gloom. Only the faint crescent light of the full moon hanging in the sky battled the intense blackness.Not far from his current position, William’s gaze fell on a truly vast, large water body that stretched over a long distance, seemingly unending from his perspective. The hero needed no geography expert to tell him this was Dark Island, the sacred landmark and hideout of the most terrifying dark wizard cult in this dark world.The sound of water calmly flowing could be heard clearly, and the waters were almost visible as they softly reflected the moon."What is that?"A surprised voice muttered behind the hero as its owner’s eyes suddenly and instantly fell upon a mysterious, silhouetted structure ris
