The Ancients World Chapter 21
Advertisement
With the war council going on there is also panic coming from the church. The Pope is talking to the rulers present about the things that are happening. "With this war commencing we are now free to search the lands of Zenith for The Son of Arch-Angel Michael. There is a major problem though, we have been getting reports of these new people leaving the places they showed up at. There is a good chance that the one we are looking for is also leaving Blue Grass. I want all the kingdoms to be on high alert and have checkpoints for people coming and going." The Pope is determined to find the son. As this meeting goes on, Cera is also at the crossroad that cuts through the wilds or goes around it.
I close my map and move into the wilds, I can't sense anything dangerous in the immediate area. I am sure the deeper I get the more monsters there will be. Hopefully they kill each other and I can just avoid any combat. Monsters are territorial in Ancients World, wolves will defend there area from a bear. If I happen to come across such an event they wont stop what there doing just to attack me. It is a nice mechanic that takes some of the danger away.
After I get deep into the wilds I can feel the temperature drop along with the sun. I have felt an extreme power to my east, I don't know what it is. I have never felt something like ths, not even when I meet Nelli. I will steer clear of whatever it is hopefully. My path doesn't come close to it, I should really set up camp and log off for the night. It's probably 8 or 9 right now. I get to a safe place on high ground and when I finish setting up my camp I take a few to look at the starry sky.
Without the pollution blocking out the stars you can see an entire universe. I will never see something like this in my world. I have a lot of miles to cut through in the wilds, but taking this moment isn't irresponsible. I can't really seem to take my eye's off the sights. The stars almost light up the ground under the cliff I am on. I go into my tent and log off. I come out of my gaming pod and see that I missed dinner once again. I come downstairs and I can feel the tension in the room.

Mom on one side and Hailey on the other, dad is in the middle right now and has no intention of interfering this time. He must have talked to mom or something. I come and sit on the couch and watch T.V. with everyone. I try to focus on the news report about Ancients World, but I can't help the feeling of being stuck between a rock and a hard place. "There has been plenty of news from Ancients World and the top headline today is, 'A Legendary Class has Emerged, The Abyss Walker!!!' This is now the second class to be discovered above Legacy." I know for a fact that Stubbed Toe hid his identity for a long time, but he was exposed by a team of players he helped in a dungeon. They stabbed him in the back for money and rewards.
That's why I intend to do everything solo. I listen to the news some more as the reporter talks. "In other news a roaming world boss has been spotted in the kingdom of salamander. Many guilds are preparing to pursue the boss monster in hopes of valuable items." Well looks like I am not the only one making moves anymore. I am glad that the focus is being divided to new things now.
I don't know much about roaming world bosses, but I know they are powerful and are one of a kind. Some can be talked to like dragons, others don't want anything to do with humans. "I wonder who is going to be the first to succeed." I say quietly to myself. Marcus looks at me and he seems to want to ask a question, but is unsure on how to word it. "What Marcus, if its anything about the game I can probably answer it." He smiles at me since I nailed his problem right on his head.
He gets up and runs upstairs and brings my laptop down. He puts it on his lap while he sits next to me. He pulls up a page that is filled with gaming pods and prices. I think I know what he is trying to ask me. "If you want to get a gaming pod you will have to ask mom and dad. You still have a full and busy school schedule." His smile drops a little bit, but that doesn't mean no. Now isn't the best time to ask them though and he is smart enough to know that. He starts watching cartoons again, I let him use my stuff because I know he will take care of it.

I look at Hailey and give her a side ways smile that says 'Sorry this is happening to you.'. She lowers her head and sighs. As soon as she did that I can feel moms anger rise, I turn towards her and her eye's haven't left Hailey's. Mom is determined to get Hailey off her butt and do something with her life. I am sad that there is a conflict going on between the 2 of them, but Hailey really does need the reality check.
I turn my head back to the reporter as she continues on todays news. "Tomorrow the Auction house will open and this is expected to bring up the value of Ancients World a considerable amount. It will soon be a week since the official launch and many are excited for the post-launch press conference." I wonder how many people will actually watch it. I won't be since I'll be playing, I have a lot of ground to cover tomorrow and no way to speed myself up.
I get off the couch since I cant take the tension anymore and head back up to my room. I am to tired to do anything else and I know that this will be my toughest test of patience yet. As Cera falls asleep, the Ancients World is going through it's own changes. A system announcement rings throughout the world.
[World-wide announcement: A Divine Roaming World boss has Awoken!! The God Eater Fenrir has returned from his slumber!! Fenrir isn't an ordinary boss and can give quests as well as rewards if spoken to without the intention to harm!!]
[World-wide Announcement: The church of light has issued a magnitude 10 disaster level to Fenrir. Stay away at all cost. Do not engage Fenrir. It could anger the God Eater and cause him to go on a rampage.]
[World-wide Announcement: The church of the dark ones is offering a legendary weapon and a Legendary class for the heart of Fenrir.]
[World-wide Announcement: The king of dragons Vendris is looking for Fenrir to challenge him to a battle on who is stronger.]
The entire player base went totally nuts. Forums are blowing up and going crazy. The NPC's are doing a similar thing. The history and lore of Fenrir is that he is a giant wolf. This wolf is a son of loki and he ate the evil Norse God Odin. In the Ancients world Fenrir is a god class creature, therefore he is now the strongest thing on the planet Gaia.
Existences like Fenrir are classified from 1 to 10 of disaster potential by the church. 1 being able to killed thousand of strong players and NPC's before dying, 10 being impossible to kill without the help of multiple gods descending from overworld to battle. The reason this is happening is because of the return of the fairies. Fenrir and the fairy kingdom are allies, the Holy Willow Tree saved Fenrir's son Skoll after he nearly died in a battle against some powerful demons.
After that day the Holy Willow Tree has been linked to Fenrir and his 2 children, now that the fairy kingdom is back and the Holy Willow Tree is almost at full power Fenrir has awoken. This is another butterfly effect that has been caused by Cera and his actions. This never happened in the future that Cera came from, and now a new series of quests and world events will follow with Fenrir's awakening. Fenrir has the potential of giving you quests and becoming your ally or killing you and destroying where you come from. Fenrir is a creature of nobility and high character, but does not show mercy to his enemies or his friends enemies.
The church was just finishing up there meeting when this message came. There is outrage and chaos in the meeting, Saintess Lucy had to use her power to calm everyone down. The first to speak is The Pope. "I get why you are all panicking. This is a dangerous event that has occurred, but Fenrir doesn't seek to harm or destroy people and cities. The disaster level of 10 is to ward off any people who think its a good idea to hunt and attack Fenrir. The church has been allies with Fenrir for many centuries." As The Pope finishes speaking the rest of the meeting calms down. The kings and queens are right to be afraid.

The Great War: Saturn's Factory
The Great War has ended. But the bloodshed has only just begun. The largest conflict in all of human history has just ended, with Europe at the center of the carnage. For fifty long and hard years, billions of men died each month for no gain. Not even the slightest of centimeters had been gained for some nations. While others struggle to hold on to their hard-fought victories. In the midst of all of this is The Second Roman Empire. At the center of the Middle Eastern world, the empire finds itself struggling to keep Eastern neighbors at bay while old enemies stir up trouble from within. When documents pertaining to the identities of the many men working to undermine the empire show themselves in domestic waters. The Empire readies itself to slice off the many parasites draining the government of both wealth and unity. If only the documents didn't also happen to end up on The Dotted Isles. Dozens of man-made islands, some even hundreds of miles large. And currently one of the most unstable areas of the entire empire. As Roman agents rush to the document, Italian forces move in tandem to set up Insurgencies to wrestle control away from the Romans. And as all this goes down, the common citizen remains, either Vat-Born or Birthed. As it turns out, sometimes the greatest players of these conflicts happen to be the men and women who know least about them. The Image is not mine and comes from the Alternative History Channel Monsieur Z, I'll take it down the moment I can make an image of my own.
