《Zenith》10 - Back to the Beginning
Advertisement
For the next few days, I grinned with Mahzino and rose all the way to lvl 15 making me the 1st in the city rankings. Mahzino was lvl 14 and just behind me, being 2nd in the city ranking. Lemonade and others seemed to have dissapeared as their levels had stopped increasing. I had an uneasy feeling about this but since i was with Mahzino, i decided to ignore it. More than 500 players had already appeared in the city in these days.
Today, I was going with Mahzino to slay a black tier open world boss Mahzino found yesterday. Mahzino had noticed it going inside a cave. We entered the cave and found that the cave was a bit different from other caves. First of all, even though the entrance was small, the inside of the cave was huge, maybe even able to fit a dragon inside it. The walls were damp and water was constantly flowing in both the sides of the cave. Since the opening was small, the inside of the cave was very dark. Fortunately, we had bought torches and used them immediately. The walls of the cave were grey in colour making it look like a haunted basement. We continued to move forward. After walking for 15 minutes, we still hadn't faced with any monster and the length of the cave looked never-ending. Suddenly, the sound of the flowing water stopped. Something was wrong. I looked around and found that the water had frozen. The frozen water started to rise and formed into square minecraft-like monsters.
Ice Cube Monsters
HP: 1000
Damage: 100
Special abilities: None
These monsters were vey basic and posed no threat to me and Mahzino. Mahzino quickly summoned some skeletons while i drew my [Pandora's Sword] which changed into a gold tier sword and slashed these skeletons instantly killing them. Mahzino looked at me and said, "Ive been wanting to ask this but why does your sword look different everytime you draw it?"

I figured there was no harm in letting him know and said, "My sword is called the [Pandora's sword]. The sword changes everytime i draw it and resets after every 3 minutes. Obviously, the chance of getting a higher tier sword is significantly lower."
He replied, "Oh" and went back to killing these ice monsters. After about 5 minutes, we had slayed over 100 of them and none of them remained. We continued proceeding towards the end of the cave. Various different types of water monsters came in our way. Steam monsters were quite troublesome. They moved very fast and did high damage but their HP was very low. In the end, Mahzino used an AOE(Area of Effect) skill to get rid of their already low HP. None of the monsters remained after the skill was used. The temperature of the cave was slowly decreasing as we proceeded further into the cave. After a while, we reached the end of the cave.
However, as I looked forward, the boss had already been slain. The boss was a orc type of monster whose head had been seperated from its body. I tried to move forward but i could'nt move. I looked down and saw a dark green plant wrapped around my leg. I looked behind and saw Mahzino looking at me with an evil leer on his face. With a wicked smile on his face, he said, " You really think you can be the top here? Dont joke around. Today you will be put in your place, where you belong!"
Mahzino had betrayed me? Everything from his talk with Lemonade till now was all planned? And i stepped right into the trap?
I raged and cut down the plant. I charged towards Mahzino with a gold tier sword on my hand. As i was about slash him, I was hit with a stun by an assasin. It was "Sorrow". I saw lemonade on the other side casting a skill. In this condition, even if i wanted to, i could not use [Glory of sword]. A blue dragon made of lightning came up from Lemonade's hands. It came straight to me and hit me.

I was insta-killed. Not only that, I saw a system notification in front of my eyes.
Back to the beginning? ARE YOU F*CKIN KIIDING ME?
As a white flash appeared and i was slowly dissapearing, i looked into Lemonde's eyes and said, "Just you wait, I will definitely show you what hell looks like."
So, this is how powerfull original skills can be. Im going to f*ck each and every one of them up.
Having tasted a brutal betrayal, I spawned in the graveyard next to the city, becoming the last in the rankings of the entire server. But, i was determined. Even though i lost all my levels, i still had my luck, my skills, my [Pandora's sword] and most importantly, my in-game experience with me. I had understood how lowly humans were and was not going to fall into traps anymore. My faith and trust in people was lost and from then, i decided that i am going to become a legendary solo player.
