Chapter 29: The ruins of Bandit Lord Husk III
Walking down this path I can feel a powerful monster at the end of wherever this leads. While walking I pass door after door. I believe they are bedrooms or cells, but I'm not opening them to find out. I finally make it to the end and I am met by a single door, I lean my ear against it and listen for anything. I can hear deep breathing coming from the other side of the door. This is definitely the boss, and it sounds big.
I kick open the door as I draw my 2 swords. I am met by a truly powerful boss creature. I inspect it to see if its the real deal or not.
[Earth Elemental Lvl.15 dungeon boss]
225,000/225,000 HP
It has already noticed me and is preparing to attack. It's already throwing rocks and rumble at me, trying to get any type of hit. The monster is getting pissed at my ability to dodge its attacks, it comes down to personal skill when dodging and I am great at it. An Earth Elemental is special in that is doesn't have 100% critical spots on its body and it lacks a heart. It won't go into a tired debuff state since it has no heart. If I want to land any hits it will have to be when protected by heaven is activated or I find a way to trip it.
I see no way to bring its sturdy legs out from under it without a blunt type weapon, I only have blade type. So that leaves one option left, I activate protected by heaven and heavens light so I can kill this guy as fast as possible.

This guy is tough enough to block around half the damage I deal. Slash stacked with heavens light would have already killed this guy if his defense wasn't so high. I hit him with another slash combo on top of heavens light, I would be dead right now if I didn't have protected by heaven.

Now that slash has reached level 10 it will do more damage now.
[Slash - Active]
[Description: You can add 85% more damage to you attack]
A 10 percent increase in damage is amazing for my divine class. I look at the spread rubble of the fallen earth Elemental and I see a purple glowing drop. I rush to it and pick it up and I inspect it.
[Chunk of adamantine metal]
[Description: The highest grade metal you can find on the world of Gaia, its rarity and innate magical properties can craft armor or weapons of legendary quality.]
[Special requirements: Only a legendary blacksmith can use this metal]
Damn, I don't know if there is a legendary blacksmith even alive. I can hold on to this until I find a better use for it. Now that the dungeon boss is beat I can check out the main chamber and see if there are any rewards or quests. I approach the door leading to the back and I open it. I am met by a room filled with gold and trinkets. I am not touching any of this stuff because I can sense it is enchanted with magic, I instead head further back into the room and I find another door.
I push it open and I am now looking at a office space. This must have been the leaders room, I look around the old and dusty room and see old documents. I walk up to the desk and sit down in it, I play around with it and I am met with some hidden levers and dials. I spend 4 hours solving this damn puzzle desk and once I do a hidden compartment opens. I pick up the paper within it and I get a system notification.
[Quest: The lost treasure of Bandit Lord Husk]
[Description: This is a clue to find the treasure that Husk hid long ago]
[Objective 1: Locate the tomb of Nermo]
[Objective 2: Get the clue from the tomb]
[Quality: Legacy]
[Do you want to accept this quest? Y/N
I never heard of this from the forums in the future. Someone decided to keep it a secret it seems. This is just another quest to the growing pile that I have. I think yes and accept the quest, I don't know where this tomb is, but I am sure that I could find it in the future after I get to tier 2. I make my way out of the under ground chambers and make my way to the exit. As soon as I leave I get a system notification.
[You are the first player to complete a solo dungeon and not die a single time]
[Do you wish to accept the rewards? Y/N]
I think yes and I get a new perk.
[Dungeon Diver - Passive]
[Description: Even the most complex and tricky dungeons are no match for you. +1500 focus]
This is going to be a helpful perk for when I get more and more active skills. I look at my player stats for the last time today.

I have satisfied my curiosity and checked out the ruins, I make my way down the little hill and start my path to eclipse city. I travel the plains and forest for another 3 hours following the directions on the map to perfection. Nightfall has come and that means its time to get off. I set up my camp and lay down in my tent. I log off and hop out of my gaming pod, I can smell delicious food coming from downstairs and I quickly rush to the dinner table.
I can see the massive dinner mom cooked and see the smiles on my families faces. I take a seat between Marcus and mom and start to chow down. Mom and dad look at each other and I can tell that they are having a silent conversation. Suddenly dad speaks with really good news. "Kids, your mom and I have decided on a house we are getting and we will be moving in a couple of days. We will have movers do all the work so just be ready the day of, all right?" I give my parents the biggest smile I could. They are already spending the money for things they want and need. I know for a fact that their wisdom with money is going to be the best thing I ever invested in.
I finish my dinner and sit at the couch and turn on the T.V. I go to my favorite channel that reports anything that happens in Ancients World. A reporter is doing a take on the mass migration of players from there starting cities. "Players are moving in mass and are leaving there starting cities. With the average players level rising more and more, people are looking at Ancients World as a new frontier for money." I can agree with that statement. The amount of money you can make from Ancients World is unbelievable. I am soon joined in the living room with the rest of my family and we all watch the updates from Ancients World.
