James looked at Captain Aurum standing not too far from him. He quickly implemented a little routine into her so she would not be standing around all the time. Walking around the ship, sitting in chairs with a few cheap books he bought from the normal player store, even going to bed.

He gave her a bow then a salute, all with a wink and a smile. James backed up to the edge of the ship and did a backflip off the ship. A second later he soured into the sky towards the stairs up to the second floor.

James now had to prepare for what would certainly be his greatest trial yet. The Job Obtainment quest. James took out the job quest key from his inventory and examined it.

Job Obtainment Quest Key

Take to the Northern outer gate of your base.

This administrator was being rather simple and straight forward here as it always seemed they were. That or she was being lazy. Either way it meant that he did not have to go far. James stowed the key back into his inventory.

It was then that he saw it, the icon of a simple spear. Longinus had returned to his inventory. He pulled both Longinus and Fenrir’s Howl from his inventory. Most players that ever-had world items on them, only had one.

It was not that the items conflicted, it was simply that they were so rare and hard to obtain that hardly anyone ever held two or more on their person at any one time. He quickly stowed the spear and draped the horns strap over his neck so it could hang by his side.

James reviewed his grand plans for this realm and then the other eight realms. For his plan to go as smoothly as possible, he had to get stronger. No, he had to be the strongest!

For his plan to work he had to slay the gods, as many as he could! They were too dangerous to bring to the New World. He could allow it if he killed them and then raised them as his shadows, otherwise he could not trust them.

He wanted to bring the nine worlds, the nine leaves of Yggdrasil, to the New world with him. There were great risks with this plan, but he had time to prepare for them.

12 years to prepare.

James flew out and over the cities walls only stopping for a moment to look down upon the Northern gate. He turned north and flew to the forest.

James spent the next several hours being a menace to nature as he continued to deforest the area surrounding Mistra. He used his bag of holding to move vast amounts of wood every trip.

He made sure to leave small groups of trees here and there. He even earned a title.

Congratulations, you have felled 10,000 trees!

You have earned the Hidden title, “Lumber Jack”

Lumber Jack- You are an expert in the art of felling trees. Wood from trees that you fell, are raised in quality. Every tree you fell has a small chance to produce a loot chest.

(Several titles previously mentioned would be considered hidden, this is a mistake on my part.)

It was only as the sun drew near the horizon that he decided to stop.

James smiled as he was greeted by a long-awaited notification.

Make it a good show. -Admin

The admin was at least being a little creative. ‘She multiplied the normal daily by ten. Technically it is harder, but I don’t know.’ James looked at the new icon that had appeared in the corner of his vision, a small green clock.

He pondered what the second notice meant. He had an idea, but he would have to test it.

James thought of the things he would need for the quest. There were no potions allowed to be used in the dungeon. Potions? James thought he was about to make himself feel like an idiot, but he had to be certain.

“System Store” James said as he stopped and hovered in the air. A large blue panel appearing in front of him with a mechanical, sound.

*DING*

He tapped on the potions tab and there they were, mana potions. James face palmed.

“I am the only player in Yggdrasil with access to mana potions, and I forgot about it! What the fuck is wrong with me?!” James looked at their prices. They were priced based on the amount of mana they gave there was even a potion that simply gave you back all your mana. It reminded him of Skyrim.

James turned his attention back to the Weekly quest.

He wanted to see what would happen if he failed the weekly quest. What kinds of monsters would he have to fight? Would it be the same creatures from the manga, or would it be something more interesting?

He knew that it was not possible to fail the quest at this time, as he had just been given the weekly quest series.

James stood outside the walls of his base and looked outward. Maybe he could expand the city? He would have to talk to the admins about that.

James turned to the large gate that was a slab of Adamantine. He would have to upgrade the material later when he had the resources. James pressed the key to the metal, and it passed through it like a hot knife through butter.

There were arcs of lightning as the purple gate seemed to tear itself into existence, consuming the key in the process. James pulled out the only two weapons he had, Longinus and the All-purpose farming tool.

"If i don't activate it, it acts like a normal spear." James reviewed Longinus' stats, "Probably the best spear in the game!" James smiled. He changed the tool in his left hand into a shield. As he looked upon this shield knowing it was unbreakable, it reminded him of the legendery shield from "Rising of the Shield Hero". Damn, he had to make them! He shook his head, "Another time. Focus on what is ahead of you now." James said collecting his thoughts.

James stepped through the gate.

You cannot leave this dungeon until you clear it. In this area, your potion and shop ability is restricted. On level up you do not receive status healing.
