Chapter 507 The Raid Begins (II)
The talks were short but basically, we are gonna begin to explore the depths of the Frozen Region. Since the underground world has proven many times that something is happening there, plus the undoubtful presence of King Arthur\'s artifacts is enough for the initiation of the mission. Although I am not sure whether King Arthur is still there alive and kicking, it is clear he left his legacy down there and since we don\'t know why he did, the only thing we can do is to know why he would leave behind them down there rather than leaving it to the next king of his kingdom, and also to retrieve them so that monsters don\'t use his relics in battle which will result to extreme devastation of this place especially since some of them are powerful enough to wipe out something in an instant.
To make sure that we are refreshed for the upcoming battle, we are allowed to have a single day of rest as this will be an arduous battle and after that, another no logout event again will occur. It is getting kind of troublesome now but that is the nature of this game\'s story events and I can\'t stop it in any way so the only thing we can do is to finish the event or fail the event, that is all there is to it,
Since the others wanted to farm before the event will start, I decided to log out for the day. It\'s been a while since I logged out of the game I think I already broke my first habit of not overexerting myself in the game. I know I am earning money and I can still do fine without logging out but I don\'t want to make my body in big trouble in the future so I should do that first.
...
...
Returning to the real world, my whole body felt like it has gotten really heavy all of a sudden and it isn\'t just random heaviness but the same heaviness I felt in the past after I was overloaded with mana in my body. The pain in my body is also quite unbearable to the point that I almost thought I had invisible wounds in my body.
Because of this, I didn\'t leave my bed and just lie down there while trying to calm my body out. Perhaps this was the consequence of not stabilizing my body lately since I am stuck in the game for a long time. And with my body\'s prolonged exposure to the Alternate World bottled up all the mana that my body earned.
It only happened before because, in the past timeline, I am not diligent in managing my mana but I learned of the consequences so I know what to do now to avoid hurting myself more.
Instead of circulating my mana, I slowly release the mana in the air by expelling it like sweat in my body. That way, it wouldn\'t explode in my body which would end up being fatal to me. Thankfully, I am quite familiar with doing it, allowing me to properly mitigate the situation to my advantage.
Once all of the excess mana in my body has been expelled, I started to control the mana in my body and made it part of my body. It was a bit painful at first but it didn\'t last long and the pain that I felt earlier disappeared and now my body is refreshed.
"Damn, that is why I hated staying in the game for too long, my body gets into this state always."
As for the excess mana, I just let it dissipate in the air. The more mana in the air, the better it is for everyone staying here. That would also help a lot with the mana training in their body and allow them to learn magic much faster.
Since I have a one-day rest, I decided to just have a good time to go and sleep. I also cooked food for everyone else before I took a bath to refresh my body more.
I returned to my room and check my emails to see if there are anything worth looking for and saw the notice that next week would be the time we will resume classes again. They sure took the time to increase the security after the hostage-taking took place. But the safer it is for us, the better. At least we got a few more times to complete the quest before the classes resume.
Next, I checked out the community of players in Alternate World. Aside from the time that I teamed up with the four newbie players, I never interacted with other players that much after I am more on focus to the current quest line.
I checked out the various popular players and my name has finally been dragged down to the lower rankings after I have gone silent. It was natural as there are other players out there trying to catch the attention of the people.
Just like what I expected, Kazuki has finally recovered from my sabotage against him which allowed him to rise back up from the ashes. He is still doing the same thing as before but he is now more active and trying to raise his level, speed runs on dungeons, and get better loot.
As much as I want to hinder his progress a lot more, I can\'t do that right now and I definitely won\'t be doing that at the moment. I know I needed to ruin his gaming life but I have to make sure he didn\'t know who sabotage him that would end up in big failure for his future. For now, I will let him bask in the glory but that won\'t last for long and I am sure of it.
The other piece of news that made me get intrigued is the new event that is involving Aquagius. After completing the exclusive quest in Aquagius, the Aquagius is unlocked for everyone to travel into. Since there was no expedition to the Aquagius like what happened in Sandurk, the event that was supposed to happen ended up being replaced by something else.
I checked the event and I admit that it was fun, but it wasn\'t as fun as the original expedition that Titania usually does and this quest doesn\'t have much chaos involved so even if I was there, I think I would give it a big pass.
The other thing that caught my attention is some of the big shots in the first timeline have finally resurfaced and started doing their rise. Not only that but the game is becoming popular around the world now that a new surge of players is expected to come in once the sale of the Reality Verse cabin is about to be implemented.
I also remembered that during that time, I planned to save up money to buy my own cabin in the past timeline which ultimately end up failing after I keep losing what I earned from sh*tty guild members. It\'s not happening to me right now but it still hurts that my life has been almost ruined due to that.
There are more things that seem interesting too like trying to beat my records in some of the dungeons, posting some hidden quests, and other stuff. It was interesting but not as entertaining to me now. Then, an announcement from the auction house that I sold the guild tokens appeared, and this time, they are planning to sell some of the goods that they are trying to collect for the past few days.
They even show some of the items that they will be featuring in the next auction and I was surprised to see that there are already a few weapons that are already Legendary tiers being sold in the auction house. I didn\'t expect it to be this early but I guess it is a bit normal right now, especially with all the changes that have occurred due to the changes I have done.
But seeing legendary tiered weapons means that there is also a good possibility some good materials are also gonna be sold here. Of course, those materials won\'t look cheap either and I can already assume some craftsmen are gonna participate too.
As for the new weapon itself, I can see some people gonna start whaling harder to obtain the legendary tier weapons and other sets that will be sold here for later on. It will be very chaotic once things get serious especially if it involves great weapons and gears that have the potential of overturning the game and making it easy. Well, that isn\'t my problem.
Just as I was planning to log off and go to sleep for the rest of the day, someone posted another photo, and this time, they spotted a frozen woman in the middle of the forest. They post the photo and I almost cursed when I saw it. Not because I have known this in the past timeline but because some memories in my head suddenly reappeared and now my head hurts.
The woman in the photo is none other than the woman clad in white kimono, the woman who is said to be the guardian of Yggdrassil
