Well I hope some of you have cooled down a little. I want to say that your imaginations are running a little too wild and forgetting about other possibilities. Anyways feel free to have imagination on whats going to happen but I never agreed on any of these points. Thus I hope you can continue to follow the story until you find out. I can say that 90% of it is wrong. Anyways heres your chapter no chapter tomorrow sorry forgive me.

At this moment, Landon was bursting in joy running down the street back to his house. On the way people were giving him strange stares but he couldn’t be bothered and kept running as fast as he could. A few minutes turned into a dozen and Landon’s hype started to die down. Although he was still just as happy, he soon realized that finding his parents was not going to be as easy as he would like, and while his pace slowed he muttered under his breath.

“Now that I think about it more clearly, there’s no telling if my parents are alive in the game. Not only that, where they live and what their names are in the game I don’t even know!”

It was then that Landon fully realized the difficulty of finding the NPC version of his parents. Although it was unrealistic to call them his parents, at the very least he only wanted to meet them to see what kind of people they were. Not to join as a family, he already experienced some motherly love from Laxiss, and even though she was gone it was enough to last a lifetime. But how could Landon not be curious about such news? Thus he decided for now his current goal would be to get the kids through school, and then travel the world of [Second Saga] looking for his parents. If that didn’t work maybe he could find the information from Phoenix Enterprises, after all apparently his parents worked for them.

So he couldn’t help but think it wasn’t impossible to ask them. With a refreshed mind, Landon went straight back home and passed out. His heart was still in pain, however he found out that cherishing those moments was the most important thing.

“Aah! Why, get away from me!”

“Oh my Lady Haras! How I love it when you talk to me like that!”

“No! Go away!”

At this moment Haras was running on some unknown plains. She was simply following the directions of the four tigermen she was with. However after she had farmed with them normally, a certain situation occurred that she would never have thought was possible. Under the [Tamer] class it was possible to buff allies through the use of her whip, of course as the class for becoming an empress of the [Beast Clans] it had to be a beastman. Thus when she hit them, they felt an unimaginable sensation that ran through their bodies!

Although the pain was still there, they felt a tingling electric current that gave them goosebumps throughout their bodies. From then on, the tigermen would beg Haras to use her whip on them before and after every single fight. Luckily, Haras hadn’t gone insane yet. Under normal circumstances she was the type who liked to be in power of the fellow male. Although this was only for someone like Landon for instance.

As she had a crush on him, she could only dream of taking advantage of him and enjoying his embarrassed face. However as Haras herself would be too embarrassed to do so, she was unable to ever make that first step with Landon. Which was why her crush forever remained a crush. The difference now was she was being forced to be ‘rough’ with these tigermen, an action she did not enjoy in the slightest however if she didn’t fulfil their pleas, they would continue to beg for hours. At this Haras sighed to herself and opened up the information for the whip buff.

[Whip of Love]☆☆☆☆☆ lvl 4 52%

Some love just can’t be obtained the normal way. As such the empress of the beast clan decided that a new tough love that incited the hearts of her people needed to be created. Thus when a [Tamer] uses a whip on an ally beast clan member they will feel a surge of power and the beloved touch of their queen.

Buffs: Strength+20%, Intelligence -4%,Agility+8%, Health regen 20/s, Mana regen 4/s. Lasts for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes.

“Why me!”

Haras shook her head and pleaded for someone to save her mind. She was definitely in a weird situation one she couldn’t really figure out how to get out of. Unfortunately for Haras, she didn’t realize there was a way to change classes, or by now she might have. Then again, knowing Haras kind heart deep down she might as well give up and help her new weird friends.

“Here we are!”

Goliath shouted out towards his three other companions. Although the shout was full of enthusiasm, the fatigue could be seen in his eyes, and the clothes perfectly represented how difficult of a journey it was for them. On the way they met countless monsters above their levels and each time they had nearly been wiped out and sent back to the capital. This was because on the way there was no cities or towns, not even a small village on their way.

They were headed to an isolated area that no longer had humanoids present. Goliath looked towards his friends and somewhat smiled at their appearances almost as if showing a hint smugness behind it. For some reason he was definitely happy seeing his own friends in such a pitiful state. After all Goliath was usually the only one who encounter such hardships, and now that everyone was a sense of satisfaction ran through his entire body.

‘Ah this feeling is wonderful!’

“You bastard! I know what you’re thinking, and that smile gives it away even more so! Keep it up and I;ll find your red pig friend to mess you up!”

Lila roared in anger towards Goliath. As a lady who cared more about her looks than the stats of her equipment, it was no wonder she was in such a foul mood. However Goliath didn’t mind until he heard about the red pig, at these words a hint of fear rushed over his face and he decided not to say anything else to incite Lila’s fury. On the other hand Rina and Lockon didn’t care as they both shrugged their shoulders. The journey to here had been hard for all four them however now that they were here it was worth it. At this moment Lockon stared at the sight in front of him.

“The forgotten river country sure lives up to its name.”

With these words, they all stared at the thousands of rivers in front of them. All separated by individual islands. Although the greenery was lively, it was impossible to hide the sheer amount blue snakes slithering their way down the horizon. This was the place they needed to be and the reason they were here was all due to the book that Lockon deciphered in the capital’s library.

After looking through the book, Lockon found out that there was an ancient temple here. One that arose when the gods had just arrived. It wasn’t a temple made from the people to worship the gods, but instead a temple that allowed them to forever have a place remaining on [Tsula]. One could imagine the amount of untold secrets hidden deep within. Even if it was all fake, at this moment the four of them realized how happy they were to explore a world in a video game for the first time. Usually the [Shadow Lurkers] took everything seriously to the point of insanity. Now after meeting up with Hydra they no longer felt that this world was simply a game.

They wanted to travel, enjoy themselves, and to find secrets that others could not. Although their goal of becoming the strongest guild was a priority, they first wanted to increase their own strength. Thus on this journey they all leveled up not only in the game but in their fighting sense as well! For them, it could be said that they already had benefited greatly from this journey. And even if the temple didn’t exist they wouldn’t be too sad about it. However, if it was true they wouldn’t be just normal players anymore. They would hold the advantage of their experience in their games, and rare loot, classes or other treasures that would help them immensely! With a burning determination they all quickly stepped forward to path in front of them.

----------------------

The next day Hydra had woken up and immediately logged in. He didn’t even eat or shower and went straight to the BOX unit. After logging in the day had already begun simply because Hydra wasn’t going to sleep the full time as his brain would get enough rest while playing. Thus he only slept a minimal amount of 2 hours. A slight nap one could say.

However his previous depressed mood was no longer visible, and after rushing out the door, he noticed all his companions were waiting on him. They all had worried looks on their faces, and seeing Hydra barge out, they were shocked! They had clearly see the mood he was in last night and now all of a sudden it was a complete reversal. Cline had already prepared to step forward to ask what was wrong, and Valeria was already holding Pan petting him patiently waiting to show Hydra how much she groomed him throughout the entire night. Falcon had even worked out his biceps to impress Hydra in attempts to cheer him up, but no seeing their leader so cheerful they were unable to even move a step forward! It was then that Hydra spoke out with a clear voice full of energy.

“Get ready, we depart for the capital now!”

He then walked off in the direction of Irina’s home.

------

At this point Irina, was busy roaming about preparing herself for her journey with Hydra. She had yet to tell him she was travelling with him, but regardless if he said she had her responsibilities as she figured he would, she chose to follow him regardless. Specially with Aspa telling her to go, she no longer had any worries and hurriedly prepared. It was at this moment that she heard a knock on the door followed by a familiar voice.

“Sister, may I come in?”

“Brother Taye please do.”

At this moment Taye entered. His expression was filled with exhaustion like his sister. However they both knew of this along time ago, and after a night of crying or reminiscing they were able to get over their pain and move forward for the sake of their responsibilities and goals. Seeing his sister pack up so enthusiastically he asked her a question.

“Did Lady Aspa tell you to go?”

After all, although only a woman could inherit Aspa’s inheritance, he knew as much about her as his mother or sister. Seeing her leave without a hint of worry made it feel like she wasn’t burdened at all. He couldn’t help but ask noticing this.

“Yes, I do not know why however even if she didn’t I would still follow him!”

“Good! That is how my sister should be, make sure by the time you come back I have a niece or nephew to see!”

“Brother!”

Although Taye was usually overly serious, in front of his sister he could act normal and kind. In the last moments he could see for who knows how long, he couldn’t help but tease her in a similar manner to his mother. With that he left. Soon after another knock and another voice followed.

“Irina? Can I come in?”

“Yeah come in.”

“Irina about-”

“Don’t say anything! I’m coming with you!”

“Bu-”

“I’m. Coming. With. You. Do you have a problem with that?”

“....No Rin Rin!”

“Why you!”

Just as she was about to chase after him Hydra immediately disappeared out the door. Naturally Hydra came to persuade her to stay for her kin. Although he wanted to travel with her and she wanted to travel with him. He did not want her to forsake her kin, although on the way out he couldn’t help but smile. At this time Irina was also showing a similar smile on her face.
