《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 504. Zeus' Challenge Again
Advertisement
"Yes, we do…" Wang Yu nodded but hearing the Zeus' tone, Wang Yu would rather they didn't know each other.
Hearing this, Hidden Lurker was a little anxious as he pulled Nian Liuyun in to reprimand him, "I told you not to tell him about Zeus. See? He is closer to Zeus than we are to Zeus…"
In every online game, the more the NPC liked the gamer, the easier the quest. This was a common logic across all games.
For the same quest reward, gamers with favourable impression would only be required to slaughter a small monster at the entrance of a village. Gamers with no favourable impression could be forced to kill a BOSS. This was how drastic impression points could be.
Hidden Lurker entered the house so enthusiastically but Zeus didn't even look at him once. Instead, he greeted Wang Yu as Master Dragon Slayer first… From the greeting alone, Hidden Lurker could tell how close the two of them were.
Nian Liuyun scratched his head as he said, "Aiya, I didn't know Brother Bull will know him."
"Alright, alright, alright. Don't worry too much, you are fortunate that I am here to help you." After saying that, Hidden Lurker took out a huge bag of gold and handed it to Nian Liuyun. Afterwards, he signalled Nian Liuyun.
Nian Liuyun walked over to Zeus awkwardly, "Master Zeus, I hope you do not mind this small gift on our first meeting." Nian Liuyun handed the big bag of gold over.
"You have great potential." Zeus chuckled as he kept the gold and looked at Nian Liuyun with a totally different mood.
This was a prime example of an NPC in >. Every single one of them was exceedingly shameless and their attitude would change completely as long as enough gold was offered.
"Kid, why are you here? Do you need anything from me?" Zeus received the money and immediately disregarded the 'Master Dragon Slayer' as he smiled at Nian Liuyun.

"I wish to go to Lorraine Kaji Mountain to pick the Sacred Snow Lotus." Nian Liuyun answered with honesty.
"You want to go to the holy mountain?" Zeus suddenly looked stern and serious, "The holy mountain is the holy land of my clan. Only those who pass the test can enter."
"I am willing to accept the test."
"Alright! Recently, Great Elder Alex is slightly troubled. Go and find him." Zeus waved his hand and instructed Nian Liuyun.
"Alright…" Nian Liuyun accepted the quest and headed out together with Hidden Lurker and co. to find Great Elder Alex.
After dismissing Nian Liuyun, Zeus turned back to Wang Yu and asked, "Master Dragon Slayer, how may I help you?"
"I want to pick Sacred Snow Lotus from the Lorraine Kaji Mountain too. Give me the test too." Wang Yu replied.
Zeus laughed as he replied, "No wonder you are Master Dragon Slayer. I admire your courage so as long as you can defeat me, you can head to the holy mountain."
"F*ck!" Wang Yu almost vomited blood. Indeed, Zeus still hates him after all these while. For such a huge NPC, he sure was extremely petty. To think that he was still trying to salvage some reputation.
"How is this appropriate? You are clearly favouring him!" Wang Yu muttered in distress.
Zeus was an ultimate BOSS on the same level as Hero and Apostle. In fact, he was slightly more powerful than them. A level 50 clone of the Apostle was already so powerful, let alone a level 200 god grade BOSS. Wang Yu was not confident of his strengths to that extent.
"Master Dragon Slayer is naturally not comparable to those small characters. How? If you refuse to accept my challenge, your quest will be considered a failure…" Zeus was evidently trying to use public office to avenge private wrongs. To think that he would make it sound so dignified when he was just another shameless NPC.

"Hold on…" Wang Yu answered, "I can fight you but are you sure a god grade BOSS like you want to bully a level 40 player like me?"
The personal mount quest could only allow for one attempt. If he failed this one, he would never be able to use Qinggong so Wang Yu was definitely not going to give up just like that.
Zeus replied, "Don't worry, I am not one of those shameless NPC. I will decrease my strength to the same level as you."
As Zeus spoke, he set up the battle boundary which enveloped both Wang Yu and himself.
After entering the boundary, Zeus' body shrunk to become as small as Wang Yu and he was able to see the attributes of the weakened Zeus.
King of Titan, Zeus (LV40) (Obsidian) (Ancient)
HP: 300000
MP: 50000
Skill: Thunderbolt Shadow, Thunder Smash, Lightning Sparkle, Lightning Sweep
With the previous experience, Zeus became smarter than before. From the skills, one could tell that this fella wasn't increasing his offensive power but increasing the speed of his attacks.
It seemed like Wang Yu left quite a nightmare for Zeus during the previous encounter.
Wang Yu touched his Adrenaline Pill but chose to put it back to his bag. Facing Zeus in this state, Wang Yu really wanted to challenge his own strength.
After all, it wasn't as though Wang Yu hadn't improved after all this while. As compared to when he challenged Zeus back then, Wang Yu doubled his level.
Even though a player improved from level 20 to level 40, his attributes would double. The measure of a player's strength was not merely based on attributes. It was also dependent on equipment and skills. As compared to when he was level 20, Wang Yu was more than three times stronger than before. If he still needed the Adrenaline Pill to go against a BOSS he defeated before, it would be too embarrassing especially for Wang Yu.
"Master Dragon Slayer, I will not be as careless as I was previously. Watch me!" Zeus knew that Wang Yu was difficult to handle so he decided to act first and act fast. As he spoke, he formed a blue lightning bolt which was sent flying towards Wang Yu.
"F*ck!"
Looking at Zeus' speed, Wang Yu was inevitably shocked.
He was truly a god grade BOSS. Even though he weakened himself, his speed was frightening. Even with Wang Yu's judgement, he only managed to catch his shadow.
In the next moment, Zeus appeared behind Wang Yu. With his lightning hammer, he was going to smash Wang Yu's head from above.
"Bang!"
Wang Yu's figure was destroyed as his afterimage exploded and it stunned Zeus for a short moment.
Following that, Zeus came back to his senses and as he pointed the lightning hammer forward, he instantly appeared in front.
"Boom!"
Zeus landed and everywhere within 5 metres of him was flooded with explosive lightning bolts. Concurrently, Wang Yu, who wasn't very far away from Zeus was struck by this lightning bolts and sent into a flying state.
Wang Yu complained in his heart, "F*ck! He can do that? I should have run away from the start…"
"Hahaha! Master Dragon Slayer, you are going to lose this time!" Zeus laughed out loud as he appeared right in front of Wang Yu again. He swung his lightning hammer towards Wang Yu's head.

The Aesir took her peace, they took her parents, and then they took her wife. Three years after her wife’s murder, she’s found a new life light years away from Earth. A happy one, most days, with a best friend and captain who understands her, and a shared mission to undo some of the damage the Aesir have done to the Universe and offer relief to anyone who needs it. But the past has a way of rising again. A surprise rescue mission brings Brenn face to face with her wife; delirious, ill, and scarred from the bullets Brenn thought had killed her, but very much alive with a newborn at her breast. A newborn whose very existence could mean intergalactic war. Now Brenn must balance her wife’s delicate mental health, new motherhood, and her own complicated feelings while working with her Captain and their odd bunch of friends and allies to protect her tiny family from a small, but influential group within the Aesir government who will stop at nothing to take back Brenn’s wife and child. All the while, there are whispers of a greater and more ancient power coming to life. A power Brenn’s wife knows more about than she wants to let on. It’s a good thing Brenn is used to fighting. CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark and distinctly dystopian in lighter shades of Margaret Atwood, though where there is darkness there is always hope and light. On Hiatus Until September When the School Year Begins and Mom This story takes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to complete. I thought I had enough backlog and time to post it as a serial while COVID kept my child home from school, but it turns out while I can quickly write other pieces, I cannot produce the quality I need with this one at an acceptable rate. We'll resume in September when my days are much freer. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for a different storytelling romp more suited for a serial platform in the meantime.

The Discarded
The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again. But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close? The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace. Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit? Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra.
