女神归来的夏天

~~~(Location: Main Road to Capital City Rosalia, The Fallen Kingdom of Rosalia)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:02 AM)~~~

Getting through this last City without major battles worked out. I've leveled up a couple more times as well. I'm not completely exhausted, and there is still plenty of time to reach Capital City Rosalia. If I move at the fastest speed I can go, I should get there by 8:15 to 8:20 AM. "Live and learn, and I'm proud to say that I've done that." I have learned something getting to Rosalia.

Sometimes it's better to take things slow and easy. To spend as much time as you need getting something done the easy way so you won't be forced to do something the hard. "I was not going to fight every monster in that city, and I didn't have to." I didn't kill everything in the City. But I did kill enough to get a couple more levels.

I'm already moving at top speed down the main road, and nothing is in front of me except for Capital City Rosalia. "Cera said that I'm going to die a few times trying to beat the boss alone, but there is a good chance that I'll die trying to get to the boss as well." Based on the strength of the enemies so far, that's a real possibility in the Capital.

Marcus and Cera are probably having a hard time themselves, and I'm not the only one. "I need to stop getting distracted. Think about what the rest of this quest entails..." I don't know enough about The Fallen Kingdom Rosalia to entertain this train of thought, but I can ask Cera since he'll know. I open my Friends Tab, and I click on his name.

[Do you mind telling me all you know about The Fallen Kingdom of Rosalia and what I'm to face in the Capital City? All the information I can get would be greatly appreciated. While I'm talking to you, can you also give me more information you have on the enemies I'll be fighting in the Raid? I'm walking in blind here, and since you have knowledge of the future, I don't have to do that.]

I hit send, and it heads straight for him, and I'm left waiting for a response as I keep on moving. It shouldn't take Cera long to get back to me. He's already up and is likely traveling by air to reach wherever his next quest is. After a couple of minutes, I get a notification from the system saying I've got a message. I open it, and it's Cera.

[The Fallen Kingdom of Rosalia was once a thriving metropolis, and an economic powerhouse compared to the rest of Gaia during its time. But by the time the fourth Queen was born, things started to go downhill. Mainly due to that fourth Queen. She was greedy and only cared for her own power. Many damn her to this day for her transgressions hundreds of years ago.]

[She sold the souls of her people and herself for tremendous power to the Sin of Pride, Lucifer. Also known as Samael. She then sold the empty husks that were once people to the Sin of Wrath, Satan. Having a powerful army at her fingertips, but in time she lost her mind and control over her power and authority. Suffering the same way her subjects do.]

[The enemies you'll be facing in Rosalia City are those subjects, and they're all going to rivel you in every statistic. You'll have no advantage against them. They'll heavily outnumber you, and when one sees you, all of them will come running. You can avoid them by using the sewers, but doing so will make you face a hidden boss. It is faster to get to the Palace this way, though.]

[The boss herself, Consumed Queen Rosalia, is another fight entirely. As the Raid boss, you'll find yourself overpowered by her in every statistical value you can think of. She has a fatal flaw. She's incredibly dumb since she's lost her mind. When I said you'd die a few times, I wasn't lying, but once you learn all her fighting and attack patterns, it should be easy.]

I read the long and detailed messages, and I can understand why Cera loves reading Lore so much. Learning about the world we're in. While the story is tragic and horrid, it's a fascinating tale. "His knowledge of the future has come in handy far more than I thought it could... I wonder what else he knows..." I can't help being curious. He must have so many secrets in that head of his.

[Thanks for all the help, Cera. I'll be sure to use this. Mind telling me where I can find this sewer and information on the hidden boss down there? I'd prefer not to fight through the whole City against monsters and creatures as strong as I am. I won't bug you for a while after this, so get back to me soon. I'm supposed to be there before 8:30 AM]

I send the message back to him, and now it's the waiting game again. If there is a way I can avoid all the fighting and monsters inside the City, I'll be taking it. While going through sewers isn't ideal, if it's somewhat easier, I'll take it any day of the week. I wonder if Cera and Marcus have to challenge a Raid at some point? If I have to, good chance, they have to. A notification goes off.

[The sewer entrance is on the Western side of the City, and it's not hard to get to. A run-down sewage treatment plant is your way in. But I have to warn you. The hidden boss is no joke. There is a good chance you could die to that freak too. Remember, there is a good chance you'll be afflicted with powerful poisons and debuffs due to the environment of the sewer.]

[For the hidden boss itself, you'll want to use your strongest attacks as soon as you engage. The longer the fight goes on, the stronger the boss will become. I don't remember its name at the moment, but you'll know when you see it. That's everything I have that can help you, Hailey. Good luck, and let me know how it goes. I'm rooting for you.]

Cera is the most valuable resource in all of Gaia and among the Players. This Raid will be far harder than anything I've ever been against before. "I'm a little bitter about the difficulty of all this... I don't want to know what I'm up against after this quest is over..." I don't know where my next tier-up quest will take me. All I can hope is it's not as difficult as this.

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Flying towards The City of Leekes inside The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:30 AM)~~~

Hailey is making a lot of progress, and I'm glad that she's reached out to me for help regarding her tier-up quest. I've never done the Raid on Capital City Rosalia or done anything within The Fallen Kingdom of Rosalia. All I know about it are from forum posts that I've read in the past. It was all valuable information, but I didn't think it would come in handy.

Who knows what Hailey has to take on after this tier-up quest, and I have no clue what I'm up against for my third tier-up quest. I don't know yet since I haven't reached Leekes yet, and talked to whoever I need to talk to. Finding the person will be a bitch, but I know how to find people. It's one of the things that I'm good at.

A/N: Below this line, I'll be keeping Cera's player information. That way, I won't have to place it into the story above anymore. It takes about 180 words up.
