《Pantheon Online 》Chapter 78: Treasure Of The Deep
Advertisement
When the group finally reached the end of the staircase, they found a wide-open room. There were statues that were identical to the one that guarded the entrance to the stairs dotted along the walls. All of them were staring at what stood in the centre.
"What is that?" Clay asked as he looked at the strange sphere that was held above a gaping hold in the ground.
"No idea..." Exile hummed as he moved towards it.
However, after a few steps, a piece of the metal that made up the sphere parted. Showing that there were a dozen seats inside. This caused Exile to frown as he glanced around the room for what could have triggered the change. However, nothing caught his eye.

Seeing that nothing else seemed to be reacting to their presence, he took the opportunity to move closer to inspect it better. 'Hmm, it seems to be two different spheres. One on the outside while the interior one has room for people to sit inside... Is it some kind of transportation?' Exile glanced into the abyss of the hole that was beneath the sphere.
'It could probably gain a lot of speed if it was dropped down this... But where would it lead to?' He was feeling troubled that this could potentially be what Old Un's power pointed to be their way out. They had no idea where it would take them. With their current HP and DP, there was no way that they could survive a long journey across the wilds either.

'There are a lot of questions about these ruins. But I don't think we're capable of unearthing its secrets quite yet...' Exile let out a sigh. At least they knew what to expect if they were to return here. 'It's not all bad. We learned about an important mechanism of the game and we can be certain there is treasure to be found down here. We'll come back once we're strong enough...'
"Ok, everyone. Let's get in. Looks like this is our ticket out of here and we don't have any other options..." Exile sighed as he shook his head.
"You're kidding, right? I'm not good with rollercoasters, never mind whatever that is!" Leggy yelped as he realised that Exile was serious.
"No, unless you want to go back up there and definitely lose some stats fighting those mobs? You know there's no way we'll be able to recover any of our orbs with them around. It's a miracle we even made it here without suffering a loss." Exile shrugged his shoulders as he stared at Leggy. "It's time to cut our losses and get out... Who agrees?"
There was no discussion as everyone but Leggy nodded in agreement. He flashed a look at the others that basically accused them of being traitors, but he did not want to be left behind. It was with a reluctant expression that he allowed the others to help him climb inside the sphere. As soon as everyone had sat down, they looked at each other with awkward expressions.
"Does anyone know how to use this thing?" Burri chuckled at the awkward air between them.
Exile flashed a look at Old Un. After all, he was the one who led them to the device. So if anyone would have an idea, it would most likely be him. Old Un sighed as everyone turned to look at him. He activated one of his spells, and a frown crossed his face.

"I'm just getting a vague feeling that it should be working already..." Old Un's frown deepened as he struggled to understand what was wrong.
"Great... It's a dud. Looks like we'll just have..." Leggy's delight was cut off as he yelped. The metal suddenly slid back into place and sealed them inside.
[You have been granted the Quest: Autosphere]
[Quest: Autosphere]
[Description: The Autosphere is a marvel left behind by the Dwarven Gods during the War with the Fallen. Discover its secrets and bring the entire network back online. (Current Progress: 2/100)]
[Rewards: Unknown]
Exile frowned when he read through the Quest description. 'We have to find 100 different locations? This is clearly something that can't be done in a short time...' Exile sighed, but became elated a moment later. 'Wait... This means we have a monopoly over a fast travel system! If we can keep this hidden...'
Exile laughed out loud when he realised how useful this network would be. It would allow a Pantheon to quickly reinforce its territories if there was an Autosphere station nearby. 'We have to keep this secret, no matter what! This is the real treasure down here!'
Moments later, a map appeared like a kind of hologram in the space between their chairs. There were two dots on the map. One white and one green. When Exile studied it, he realised the green dot should be somewhere in Valheim. While the white one must be the current location. 'It's a shame it does not have red dots or something to indicate where the other locations are. But why is there an active one in Valheim?'
A sickening thought crossed his mind at that moment. 'Has someone else found an Autosphere in the city? But they couldn't use it because no other location had been found yet!' A deep frown crossed his face as he wondered if this was a sort of social Quest that was completed by the player base as a whole. 'That'll make it harder to keep this place on lockdown... We'll have to find a way to guard this location... maybe charge people for using this station or something... I'm sure the other Pantheons who find one will have the same idea.'
It made sense since it had the potential to be a massive moneymaker in the game. However, before he could discuss his thoughts with the others, Clay reached out and tapped on the green dot! A girlish squeal filled the sphere as everyone felt that they had suddenly been dropped down the hole! However, there was only one person that everyone was looking at. Leggy! He was the source of the squeal and his face turned bright red under their gazes!

8 1956Nine-to-Five Villainy
Once upon a time, a man that flew through the skies as easily as any bird changed everything. Decades have passed since then, yet life remains depressingly normal for most.

Perfectly normal stuff.
8 117Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown. Release Schedule The schedule is subject to change, particularly if enough readers end up loving it. All chapters are already written, thus there is enough freedom to modify them.

8 181The Boy With Rabies
It was supposed to be a normal day for 17-year-old Theodore "Theo" Williams. He was an animal-loving teenager. One day, he was in the woods when he saw a raccoon. It approached him and he thought it wanted to be pet. When it bit him, little did he know that the bite will soon have him fighting for his life. DISCLAIMER: I got this idea based on a documentary I watched a few years ago. I apologize if any information is not accurate. I tried to use the stuff I remembered from the documentary. This story is also on my WattPad account: @SparklingSnazzer Update: I did go back and edit some more so I hope it looks a bit better now. :)
