《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 62. Just Do Whatever You Want!

"An Elite tier dungeon? That's not a bad idea actually. At the very least it'll give us a challenge." Hearing Fearless' suggestion, the others nodded in agreement.
Honestly the only people who would have agreed to this suggestion were the idiots in the Quan Zhen Sect. If it was another group, they would have already been cursing Fearless.
Dungeons in
Monsters inside the dungeons were also very difficult to deal with. Even the ordinary monsters in a normal tier dungeon were already elite monsters! This meant that they were much stronger than other normal monsters at the same level.
Hence, even if it was a normal dungeon, players still needed to try a few times before they could form a strategy and clear it! Much less an Elite tier dungeon.
One key difference between virtual reality and traditional computer games was that players had to personally face the monsters. Not only were their reaction speed and decision making important, their courage and fighting skills played a huge role too!
In such a situation, people who knew how to fight would naturally have an advantage.
However, there weren't many people who knew how to fight anyway so most players were still struggling to adapt. Since most of the players were nerds who hid in their parents basements, they would hardly be able to do more in real life than run away. This was one of the biggest reasons there were so little Pugilists.
One inch longer, one inch stronger. This was a very common saying. People without any fighting experience wouldn't be able to fight against other humans, let alone monsters!
Fearing that the game would be too difficult and players would lose interest, the designers reduced the strength of monsters in the wild to give players some room to adjust.
However, even though they did this, during beta testing the experts off traditional computer games still destroyed by the monsters in the dungeon. Hence, the level 10 dungeon, Blood-Soaked Church had been changed to a level 15 dungeon to lower the difficulty.
In the eyes of the general population, the Elite Version of this dungeon should only be done after level 20.

Of course to this group of monsters who could complete a Headquarters Defense Quest, challenging an Elite tier dungeon wasn't much. If they had enough people then they would have challenged the Hell tier!
Since the Blood-Soaked Church was the first dungeon in
Elite tier was for five to ten players and abyss was for at least ten players.
When the eight of them arrived at the Blood-Soaked Church, there were already a few level 15 teams gathered outside.
Seeing the Quan Zhen Sect approach, many players silently thought: "How is a eight man team going to enter a five man dungeon?"
"Could they be entering an Elite tier dungeon…" Someone suggested.
"Are you kidding? You're father almost got team wiped in Normal tier yesterday! Trying Elite is just asking for death!"
"Pffft! Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't either!"
"F**k your mother! This lord is an elite member of the Sanguine Alliance!"
"Then why don't you see what guild the guys are from!"
When the crowd stopped arguing and observed this group, they noticed that all eight of them had the emblem of ying yang fish. Furthermore, the one on one of the Pugilists even gave of a lifelike feeling!
"F**k me! It's the Quan Zhen Sect!"
When the spectators realised that it was the Quan Zhen Sect, they didn't have any other suspicions.
Since these madmen were able to complete a Headquarters Defense quest, clearing an Elite Dungeon was pretty reasonable as well.
"Hpmh! What a bunch of posers. With that cheap way of defending the headquarters they're nothing more than the biggest jokes in the game! Dungeons don't have any bottlenecks for them to abuse!" The member of the Sanguine Alliance mocked.
"No matter what you say, strategy is a part of your strength you know."
"Hmph! Under the suppression of absolute strength, all strategies are useless! Just wait and see!"
...…
"We've all already cleared this dungeon so I'm sure everyone has a basic understanding of it. As long as everyone does their jobs well and doesn't run amok we can clear this understand?" Fearless nagged in the guild chat.

"Yes yes we know… you don't need to talk so much nonsense man! It's not like we're beginners!" The rest impatiently grumbled.
"Reporting to guild leader! I've never entered a dungeon! What should I do later?" Wang Yu raised his hand and asked.
"..." Everyone had nearly forgotten that they had a beginner with them. He might have been insanely monstrous, but he was still a beginner…
"You…" Fearless scratched his head. "Just do whatever you want! As long as you don't get everyone killed or get in our way anything's fine!"
For this demon, Fearless didn't think that any special plans were necessary.
"Ok!" Wang Yu nodded.
"Let's go!"
With a flash of light, the eight of them entered the Blood-Soaked Church.
Clear conditions: Kill Fallen Nun -- Andrea
Failure conditions: All members are killed
After entering the Blood-Soaked Church, the sky gradually changed from day to night.
The setting sun in the sky slowly morphed into a blood red moon.
The red moonlight that shone on the forest around the church added an atmosphere of mystery and dread. The place where they had spawned was the courtyard of the church. In the courtyard as well were four grey skeletons holding sabers and patrolling the grounds. At a corner of the wall, there were four large dogs sleeping.
From the quest description, Wang Yu had learnt that this church was originally known as the Twilight Church. It was the largest Church in the entire city and many citizens would come to worship.
After the darkness spread, the nun in charge of the church had been corrupted while hundreds of citizens were worshipping. Using the power of darkness, she collected their souls and sacrificed their bodies! Ever since that incident, this once holy place of worship had become a cursed forbidden ground.
"Frost Blade, quickly go open the door!" fearless commanded.
When they were challenging the dungeon yesterday, Fearless had realised that using [Lockpick] to open the church's doors wouldn't alert the sleeping Dark Demon Hounds.
Fearless and Boson had both played the beta and knew that the Blood-Soaked Church was split into three areas, the courtyard, the halls and the inner sanctum.
Each area had its own boss.
The first boss was the one in the courtyard, Hell Hound Gasol. Luckily this stupid dog only knew how to sleep. The condition to summon it was to kill the four Dark Demon Hounds.
Gasol was a dexterity type boss with high attack and speed. Furthermore, being an animal shaped boss, he had 80% resistance to crowd control and 30% resistance to magic attacks.
Because of this, physical attacks were the most effective. However the Quan Zhen Sect didn't have any archers. Since Spring Halo and Crotch Lord couldn't control it the team had been wiped out!
To the Quan Zhen Sect, this Gasol was even harder to deal with than Andrea. If they could avoid fighting him then they would save more than half the effort!
"Ok!" Acknowledging Fearless' command, Frost Blade took out a small tool and pushed it into the lock.
"Ka-cha!" The door opened without any effort…
Thief passive skill-[Lockpick]! If a Thief couldn't even pick a lock then what kind of Thief was he?
The moment the door opened, the four skeletons immediately turned towards them and ran over.
"Attack!" With a shout from Fearless the rest immediately formed up and attacked the skeletons.
There wasn't a person in the Quan Zhen Sect who wasn't an expert in his own right. Coupled with their top grade equipment and Wang Yu on their side, a few skeletons weren't even considered an appetizer!
In the blink of an eye the four skeletons were ground to dust.
Wang Yu felt as thought something was still lacking so he looked around and realised that there were still the Dark Demon Hounds in the corner and excitedly shouted: "There's still some here!"
Before Fearless could even reply, Wang Yu already jumped forward and kicked one of them in the jaw! With a yelp all of the Dark Demon Hounds jumped up and growled.
"Iron Bull! F**k your mother!"

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.
8 190Reborn as a Magic Firefly, Help?
A rural farmer's boy is unknowingly reincarnated into a world of magic and monsters as just a wee little larva, not even considered a monster at all. But through grit and a passion for surviving, he will eventually evolve into something truly powerful and maybe, just maybe, find a way home. If that means defeating powerful foes and becoming a powerful monster himself, maybe, just maybe, that's what he needs to do. Popcorn easy-going typical "reincarnated as a monster" fic. Expect evolution trees, rare evolutions, small twists, a generally unaccepted main character who just wants to meet a human, the works. In this story, the main character is reincarnated as a larva, but his evolution will lead him down a path to become a will 'o wisp firefly hybrid, since that is what the fellows over on light novel amino requested, and it sounded cool. I'm just writing this to keep my fingers moving, so it won't have too much effort in it, but if you like stories like the beginning of the (good) reincarnated-as-a-dragon light novel, I'm sure you'll like this one. Popcorn isekai fic. The cover, drawn by yours truly, will reflect the current evolution of the main character. Also, he'll be pretty weak-to-strong, since, well, maggots are kind-of-really weak.
