Chapter 7

The sea looks calm tonight. The moon was shining so beautifully; Keenan sat on the ship's stern while enjoying the calm night breeze.

"Hey, Wicky, do you understand the Dark Lady?"

"I'm sorry, Keenan. I don't know anything about the Dark Lady. I'm just your assistant to help show you the journey from each stage.”

“This game is bizarre. They should have told a clear purpose and story, not just to win and--.”

Keenan's sentence stopped when the night sky suddenly turned dark purple with a dim light that made it look even more gloomy.

"4 players died - 94 players left - 1000 citizens killed."

“What? 1000 citizens? Will every player die, the number of citizens killed will also increase? This is not fair! I’m really curious about my mom."

The moon shone brightly again; Keenan's expression was filled with anger and disappointment. Never in his life had he hated a game.

"Calm down, Keenan. If you succeed, then all will be safe. You need to win this game,” said Wicky.

Keenan clenched his fist and hit the side of the bench. He then opened his bag and selected a map scroll stored in one of the slots.

“Ah, that's the map from Capt. Jack Lou!”

"Yeah, we need to check it out. Something may help us find out something about the Dark Lady. I believe the Dark Lady is a goal we must defeat.”

The map gave off such a bright light when the scroll was unrolled. The light slowly faded, and on the map was written a message, 'esum yɛ wo kwan a wobɛfa so asɔre – areciann.'

"What does it mean?" muttered Keenan.

The writing disappeared and was replaced with an image of an island with many crosses, skulls and chests filled with gold. Surprisingly, the map doesn't say the name of the area. The map contains only pictures with no cardinal signs or other clues.

“The moonlight is coming

Stars collide

In the long dark

I hide from fear….”

A melodious voice was heard; Keenan followed the direction of the sound, which then brought it to the front of the ship. Three mermaids are seen following the movement of the ship and singing. The source of the sound came from them.

Strangely, Keenan felt that the song gave him peace. He was fixated on the beauty of the mermaid.

“Keenan, will you accompany us?”

"Sure, how do I get down there?" Keenan was under the influence of the mermaids; he lost control. He didn't even notice Wicky's voice screaming to stop him.

“You just need to jump, and we'll have fun. Oh, don't forget the map you left behind, Keenan.”

“Anything for you!”

“Run, achieve what you want

Come, happiness is waiting for you

I have lots of love here…”

Keenan ran along with the songs given by the mermaids. He picked up the map and returned to the front of the ship. Keenan was ready to jump when the cabin crew restrained her legs, and the shot shattered the mermaid's head.

Their blood was blue and hit Keenan's face a little. Instantly, he realized, and the cabin crew successfully pulled his body.

“I forgot to tell you not to open or take out the map before you've found the location of the secret island. Please keep it in your bag; every creature in Enderthon wants it. Something stored on that island contains many things that can defeat it.”

Capt. Jake Lo and the cabin crew left Keenan. The map in his hand still gave off the light then he immediately rolled it up and put it back into the bag.

Keenan's ears caught the song again. This time it came from the back of the ship. However, Keenan didn't approach him. He decided to spend the night sleeping.

**

At precisely eight o'clock, the ship Brz 909 pulled over to Long Beach Island. The sky on this island is different, not blue but orange. The atmosphere looks like twilight.

“This is the most beautiful island in Enderthon. You will enjoy a lot here!”

"Thank you, Capt. Jake Lo and all the cabin crew who have driven me."

“Adios, Keenan!”

The black wooden ship departed again, leaving Keenan, who was now approached by a man with shoulder-length hair who looked at him cynically.

-STAGE 2 – SOLO PLAYER – THE UNKNOWN CREATURE-

"You need 3 grenades and 5000 gold to enter this island," said the man.

"Great, I have prepared for you."

Keenan opened his bag and gave grenades and money as requested by the man before him.

“Welcome to the Long Beach Island.”

<Quests;

- Explore the island and collect 30 green gems

- Meet Gandha

- Destroy the Red Palace

- Kill 1000 monsters

- Defeat Lil Ebazy >

“Lots of quests. What should we do first, Wicky?”

“Explore the island is the right thing. You can increase your level and power by fighting small monsters we can meet on our way.”

“Great Idea!”

Keenan began to explore the island. The people here are much freer; even in terms of clothing, they are open. They were getting drunk on the side of the road, even making love in public.

“I didn't find the beautiful side of this island like the crew said earlier. The inhabitants and the beauty of this island are very contradictory," said Keenan.

A green glow was seen on a small cart under a coconut tree.

“That looks like a green gem! You better take a look, Keenan.”

Keenan's smile widened when he saw a green gemstone in the haystacks.

"This is very beautiful. To think, I will find it easily.”

“Keenan, get out of the way!”

“AKH!”

Keenan fell without a chance to dodge. Keenan's hands and feet seemed to be locked by a weapon like a fork. Dozens of bare-chested dwarves surrounded Keenan. Some jumped from the coconut tree's top and stood on Keenan's stomach.

“Silly human, you think you can take this green gem? You're trapped, son of a bitch! Ha ha ha!" shrieked the dwarf on Keenan's stomach while holding the green jewel. The other dwarves followed his laughter.

[Land dwarves]

[Power: 15000]

[Physical Defense: 3000 + 30% Power]

The power of the dwarves, who were far more significant than himself, made Keenan be careful and hold back his anger.

"So, what should I do to get the green gem?"

“If you want this green gem, you must bring us 100 bottles of dark beer, 200 fish and 30000 gold. Instead, we'll hold your bag. You can take it when you have everything you want! Ha ha ha ha! You agree?"

<Side quest: fight the dwarves – reward; green gem, 50000 gold, 1 sword wrap, 20 medicines. You can use the secret weapon.>

"Yes, I accept your offer."

"Great, we wait until 10 pm tomorrow. Meet us at the north hill," the dwarf jumped from Keenan's belly, "let him go!"

Keenan's hands and feet were freed from the weapons holding him down. Their movement was swift; some were already in the trees, and some left with the cart.

"Let's go, Keenan. We have to make secret weapons at Boyle's shop.”

Wicky started flying westward. A group of black-fanged creatures seemed to be crowding and attacking each other in a field.

[Minions]

[Powers: 4000]

[Increase power and gold]

“Smash them, Keenan!”

Keenan took out his sword and attacked them. Even though it was pretty easy to finish them off, their numbers continued to increase a lot, so Keenan felt a little overwhelmed.

“Shit! When are you guys going to stop showing up?!”

[King Minions]

[Power: 8500]

[Increase power and health]

"Keenan, you have to be careful. Their king appears, and his strength is equal to yours! Concentrate!”

Sharp teeth protruded from the minion king, whose body was as high as Keenan's waist. He accelerated swiftly and used his claws as a weapon.

“Shit!”

Its claws hit Keenan's thigh, blood flowing in a long scar. Keenan had difficulty cutting his sword because the minion's movements were very agile. They just circled each other for almost two minutes until, Keenan saw a grenade among the piles of minion bodies that had been defeated.

Keenan rolled toward the grenade and threw it at the minion king.

"Yeah!" The grenade managed to make the minion king fall. Keenan didn't waste time getting up and stabbing his sword into his body.

The minion king's body and the other minions were destroyed.

<You have successfully reached level 4!>

“Great, Keenan! Now check their tents for items you can use.”

Keenan then entered a relatively large green tent. He searched every corner of the room, but all he found was an empty box.

"I don't think there's anything here. We'd better--”

Keenan's eyes accidentally caught a green glint in the corner of the tent, similar to what he had found in the dwarves' cart.

“Green gem! You managed to get 1 green gem, Keenan!” Wicky flew to the corner of the tent and let out a green light that scanned the object.

Keenan took the green gem and put it in his trouser pocket.

<Green gem; 1 of 30>

A strange sound, like a dog snarling, then rang out. Keenan stepped out and found that a dog-like creature with the head of a dragon seemed to be standing looking at him. The beast has many hands and sharp teeth.

[PROBAXTON – GOD OF MINIONS]

[POWER – 30000]

Keenan was wide-eyed; just when he was about to take his sword, the terrible creature had already attacked Keenan with hundreds of hands. Keenan fell with his head off his body.
