Insects Breeding Grounds I (Page 75)

~~~(Location: Traveling to Insects Breeding Grounds, Termal Empire)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:30 PM)~~~

I've spent the whole day walking, and I'm only a few more miles from the entrance of the Dungeon. The problem is it's already nightfall, and I'm not in the mood to keep traveling in the dark. The Players that I killed earlier this morning didn't drop anything worthwhile, and that happens. What you drop on death is random. It could be good, or it could be the opposite.

I've killed monsters getting to this point while traveling here, and the only thing I've gotten from them is 10 EXP towards my Player Level and 10 EXP towards Dark Burst. Since the monsters near Bovire are so weak, I get very little EXP. But any amount of EXP is still EXP in the end. So I'm not going to complain about it.

I was hoping to reach the Dungeon before night, but it's perfectly okay that I didn't. I don't have any camping gear on me, which means I'll have to keep walking, or I can find a spot under a tree. "I'd rather get to the Dungeon first before I rest for the night..." I've played through entire nights before, and it's not something I'm fond of.

Once I reach the Dungeon, I'll sleep outside until sunrise and then hit it hard in the morning. "Speaking of sleep, I wonder how the rest of the Player base is handling the game without a Gaming Pod like mine?" Only certain Players can sleep in-game, and that's if you have a special Gaming Pod for it, like the one I have.

Something that I really enjoy about this walk to the Dungeon is how quiet and isolated it is. It's relaxing out here in the woods. Usually, people would be afraid of the woods at night. But I'm not. Why would I be? I'm not weak compared to the things in these woods. I clear my head and take a deep breath. Finding a peaceful center as I walk.

~~~(Time: 10:45 PM)~~~

I close the book that I've been reading, and it's an interesting one, to be sure. It's a book of old prophecies and legends. Some of them are pretty cool, and others are disturbing. One of my favorites is the Hero of Light. A Player is said to inherit a Class that allows wielding the power of Holy Light Magic, and weapons. But no one has popped up, not yet.

It's not determined if this individual is a male or female, which I like since it adds to the mystery of the prophecy. "Hmm... Lyatt is very powerful for someone his level... His Class Grade is definitely high... But I don't know how high..." The highest known Grade is Legendary, and I'm Exotic Grade myself. It took years to get here.

But the feeling and vibe I get from Lyatt is very dark and very powerful. The most stand-out feeling is something ancient. I don't know if it's him that feels ancient or the power within him... Maybe it's both... It sucks that he's leaving Kedwein after he's done with Von Jaric Larids Raid and my quest. I was hoping to seduce him and teach him so much more about Alchemy.

Some parts of life won't happen, and despite how attractive Lyatt is, I won't be able to partake in him. It frustrates me that I can't get a single reaction using my body... All I get in return are cold stares. "He's got a will stronger than anything I've seen..." I don't know if I've ever met someone so young and strong-willed before. It's impressive.

Before he leaves, I want to know his secrets. The biggest one being his Class. If I can know why he feels so powerful, I'll be able to satisfy one of my desires regarding Lyatt. "He's an irresistible temptation... He's going to give women everywhere around Libertas hell..." I chuckle a bit... Women find mystery and power very alluring, and Lyatt is both of those.
