《Pantheon Online 》Chapter 88: Paving the Road
Advertisement
Exile sighed as his consciousness returned to his body in the bar. Seated around the table were the others. Their eyes had turned cloudy. Exile let out a small smile as he hoped that they would be able to finish the Quest without him. However, he was certain that Old Un would be able to lead them through the sandstorm. For now, all he could do was wait for the results.
His mind turned to Parthus as a complicated expression crossed his face. He was unsure if declaring a Holy War would lead him to fight Parthus again. However, he knew that he had to become stronger before they met again.
This Quest had knocked his growing ego down a few pegs again. Just as he thought he was climbing the ranks, he came across someone who was still stronger than himself. 'I have to assume that I haven't moved up a single rank. But this at least showed me that the gaps between ranks may not be as big as I thought.'
Exile drummed his fingers on the wooden table as he thought about the encounter. 'Fully specialising in one stat is a bad idea. It'll leave me open to being exploited with the way combat works here. But I do need to start focusing on one more than the others...'
He opened his stats to take a look. Currently, his endurance had the highest base amount, followed by speed. Overall, his authority was actually in second place, but this was due to his bonuses. 'The problem with authority is the cost of spells and how much DP I have. It isn't sustainable over longer battles. But it's the only way to counter the authority and Miracles of other Gods.'
Knowing that Camelot was in the game just made his decision harder. He was almost certain that Arthur would favour Speed and Endurance due to his play style. At the same time, he could pretty much guess that Merlin would focus on Authority. Although Mordread had been his vice-captain, he was unsure what path he would take in Pantheon Online.

The only thing he was certain of was that they were sure to clash at some point. Which was something he was happy to see happen, but only when he was ready. 'Camelot, Kaleidoscope and now Mirage... The list is growing...' These three Pantheons were now his top concern. But Kaleidoscope had to be his priority.
It was the only one he shared territory with for now. So they were the proverbial wolves at his door. 'I have to find out where their territory is in Skardia. If we target them... We're more likely to succeed if we attack on two fronts. Guerilla warfare here and let the NPCs shed blood and pressure them in the Mortal Realms.
Exile nodded at his plans for the immediate future. The goal was to bring down Kaleidoscope before they could raise the Tier of their Pantheon. Thereby allowing them to bring more of their players into the fold and increasing Aeri's strength in the game in the process.
'We have to act fast... We have to let the Oracles know to listen out for Aeri's name so we can pinpoint their location.' Exile's expression turned into a savage grin. 'I'm done with taking things slow. I need to have a talk with Ania... Bjorn as well. If Harik and the others manage to return, it will be the best time to strike.'
[Quest: The Doomed Raid! Completed...]
[Rewards: +100 Gold, +10 Stat Points]
Exile's eyes went wide at the lavish rewards. '10 Stat Points? That's a full level!' Before he could get two excited about it, another notification entered his mind.
[Quest: The Man Who Would Be King]
[Description: Due to your actions and events in the Mortal Realm, Harik Eraldsen no longer agrees with King Balmir's policy of banning worship to the Gods. The seed of rebellion has sprouted in his heart, but it begins with a single step. Help Harik Eraldsen become the Jarl of Yugrund.]

[Rewards: +10 Stat Points, Inhabitants of the territory of Yugrund will be more likely to worship you and/or your Pantheon.]
Exile's eyes went wide as he examined the new Quest. 'This opportunity probably would not have appeared if Harik died on that raid.' Exile hummed as he considered how timely this Quest was. 'It's a good step in preparing to deal with Kaleidoscope...'
Naturally, he was not going to let this chance slip through his fingers. In his own mind, this Quest may even be a prerequisite to having his Pantheon take the majority of the control for the whole of Skardia. 'But that means it's likely other players can get a similar Quest. The race is on...'
His attention turned to his stats and the ten new points he had just received. His mind had finally settled on the path he was going to take. He placed seven points directly into Authority. Bringing its base amount up to the same as his Endurance. A single point was allocated to his Speed while the remaining two were placed into Strength as it was the lowest of his stats.
[Congratulations! More than 60 points of Divinity detected! You have reached Level 7!]
A smile crossed Exile's face as he reviewed his stats. 'I wonder what will happen when I reach Level 10?'

8 170Dungeon Crawler Katia
The aliens killed everyone on Earth...almost. Every structure, from the Taj Mahal to the lowliest lobster trap, vanished into the earth, killing everyone inside. The survivors were given a choice: Endure on the surface without food or shelter or tools, or descend into a world-spanning nightmare dungeon that is also a reality TV show. Katia, an art professor from Iceland who has given up her humanity to transform into a shapeshifting doppelganger, meets up with Carl and his cat, Donut. Together, the three fight to survive in a dungeon filled with Clarketech goblin murderdozers and pyramid-scheme fairy moonshine-makers. The above is, of course, describing Dungeon Crawler Carl. With DoctorHepa's (the author) permission I'm posting some fanfic to expand on Katia, one of the secondary characters who started off not getting as much exploration as I would have preferred. I started off writing chapters that matched up to canon except from her POV instead of Carl's; that lasted a couple of chapters before going off the rails and spinning off into a completely new story, which suggests I should really go back and renumber all the chapters as soon as I find some tuits.
