MMORPG : Ancient WORLD

‘I will be dead in a few minutes if the fight continues at this rate.’ Alex thought as he dodged one icy spear covered in thunder while praying the second one with his sword.

“Clang”

Alex’s plan to enrage the Yeti to force him to use his berserk skill failed as even though his nasty remarks pissed the creature off, but it didn’t achieve the desired result he wanted and only made the Yeti attack him attack more violently.

‘All my stats are boosted by 35%, and with the bonuses from my equipment’s, they are all up by 70%, but even then, he is stronger than me.’ Alex thought as he swung his sword to meet the flamed-covered fist of the Yeti.

In the last fifteen minutes, Alex had burned through 70% of his mana and had lost 60% of his Hp, and the Yeti still had 68% of Hp left, and with each passing second, his attacks were becoming faster and unpredictable, making it difficult to defend.

‘I am getting slower with every passing second.’ Alex thought, feeling his arms getting heavier every time his sword clashed with the freak of nature because his stamina was at rock bottom.

‘I guess this is my current limit without using the Rage Embodiment skill.’ Alex thought as he used the stored hundred points of Resentment Energy to get the best stat boost he could get and go all out.

‘I missed this feeling.’ Alex thought as he felt his stats triple instantly with newfound strength and vitality flowing through his body.

“Clang”

“You are Dead,” Alex said with a wide grin as he easily parried the flaming fist with his sword.

“Four Fold Thrust,” Alex mumbled as he executed one of the moves he learned from Darrien in his sword training session.

After contracting the muscle in his right arm to their limit, Alex moved his sword at a lighting pace four times, each strike aimed at the heart of the Yeti with great precision.

“You look scared,” Alex said, seeing the Yeti jumping back like a scared cat.

‘I might as well just end this fight before he goes into the berserk state.’ Alex thought as he covered his sword in a vast amount of darkness mana that made it look like the blade was on fire.

Alex sprinted toward the retreating Yeti, and after reaching optimal distance, he jumped high into the air while positioning his sword over his head as he descended toward the Yeti.

“Weight Manipulation” 4.8_KG….200 KG.

“Darkness Slash”

“SWIIINNNNGGG”

[-260000_HP](Critical Hit]

“BOOOMMMMMM”

“ROOOAAAAAARRRRRRR”

‘The bastard survived my trump card.’ Alex thought, seeing the Yeti roaring at the top of his lungs as a fountain of blood gushed out of his cleanly sliced right shoulder.

The Yeti’s right shoulder and arm were gone cleanly cut off, leaving a massive injury that was bleeding a tremendous amount of blood, making the creature roared in pain and agony, but Alex still didn’t feel satisfied as he was unable to execute the strike flawlessly.

Alex had used the darkness slash skill, which did 600% physical damage with added damage from the darkness element, and combined the sword attack with his sword weight manipulation skill at the last moment before clashing to vastly increase the damage.

Alex had learned the Darkness Slash skill manually, and after perfecting it, he combined it with his sword weight manipulation skill, knowing the boost it could provide.

Alex’s target was Yeti’s head, but because of the creature’s superior instinct, he was able to tilt his body to the side, making it to save his life by losing his right arm and taking significant damage.

“Let’s end this battle,” Alex said as he pulled his sword out of the destroyed ground.

“ROOOOAAARRRRRRR”

The Yeti roared with red eyes as he entered the Berserk state while his bleeding was already stopped by burning his flesh using the elemental flames.

“BOOOM”

Alex swung his sword massively weighted sword without issue, meeting the thunder cover claws of the Yeti.

After staying on the defensive for one minute, Alex created the opportunity he was waiting for by using the Chains Of Darkness.

“It was a good fight (Darkness Slash),” Alex said as he slashed his sword at the Yeti’s neck, cleanly decapitating him and ending his life.

[???????] Alex’s head went blank as a vast amount of information entered his brain, and after a few moments, he lost consciousness.

(9 Hours Later)

“Domain Ruler, Do you feel anything wrong.” Lady Margaret asked in a worried voice.

“I am alright,” Alex said as he looked at the remaining time of the promotion quest.

[Remaining Time: 16 Hours 33 Minutes]

‘I lost Nine hours, but what the hell happened that made me lose consciousness.’ Alex thought as he opened the system log to check all recent notifications.

[System Notification]

[Skill: Minor Chaos Manipulation] Gained

‘What Minor Chaos Manipulation?’ Alex thought, shocked by the domain mission reward.

??????????

Name: Minor Chaos Manipulation

Quality: Mythical Unique

Rank: Mortal Rank [Growth Type]

Mystery: 0/100%

Description: Allow the user to learn and manipulate the primal energy of Chaos, a superior element of the universe known for its destructive power.

??????????

‘This is… AWESOME.’ Alex thought with a broad smile as he looked at the genre’s reward from the domain mission.

‘I didn’t know the domain would be this generous.’ Alex thought, smiling from ear to ear.

Alex was so thrilled because Elemental Manipulation was a skill that every Elemental Ruler had, and even though it was possible for an individual with Sixth Rank or lower strength to acquire it but the chances were beyond low.

The only way to acquire an Elemental Manipulation was through Ancient Elemental Chambers, but unlike the extremely rare legacy tombs, the Elemental chambers were beyond rare.

In Alex’s previous life, only One Ancient Elemental Chamber of Wind Element was found by the Asgardian Guild, and in three years, only seven players were successful in gaining the Minor Wind Manipulation, with the best player having the Epic quality manipulation.

The Ancient Elemental Chambers were unlike the Legacy tombs and could be used without limits, but the chances of someone acquiring the Manipulation were beyond abysmal.

‘Now that I have protection from my shadow guardian, shouldn’t I monopolize the Elemental Chamber of Wind and sell its entry for a fee like the Asgardian Guild did and become rich through it.’ Alex thought, remembering the money-printing Elemental Chamber.

‘I have about six months before the Asgardian Guild gains the first piece of the Ancient Winds token, and for me to collect it and the other pieces, I need to be at the peak of Third Rank.’ Alex thought.

“Domain Ruler, Something of concern?” Lady Margaret asked, seeing Alex in deep thought.

“I was just surprised that I received Minor Chaos Manipulation as a reward from the Domain mission,” Alex said, reveling about the Manipulation.

Alex knew that learning to use Manipulation would be extremely difficult, and if he wanted to make significant progress in a short period, he needed help from the Malefis Domain.

(Four hours Later)

‘The only two people who could help me learn about the Chaos element are the Elder Dragon and the Bone Emperor [patriarch of the Undead clan], but as the Elder Dragon is not in the condition to teach, the only option left is the Bone Emperor.’

‘The Bone Emperor will not help me for free, but if the refinement skill of the Red gem could cure the Devourer Curse, then I wouldn’t be facing any problem in gaining his help.’ Alex thought as he stepped to the side, avoiding the thick tree vine.

“You should enjoy while I am letting you live,” Alex said as he sliced the next tree branch thrown at him.

“Darkness Slash” Alex stepped forward and sliced the monstrous tree in half.

[The designated rewards for the hard difficulty won’t be changed in any way, even if the user ends the promotion quest at the last second.]

—————-

‘There is no hidden condition like the regular Promotion quest, but this open condition is just the worse as I have no clue how many monsters I need to kill to acquire the best reward.’ Alex thought, pissed by the open condition.
