A few words...

Thanks for the commends and sorry for my inadequacy as a writer, I hope with practice I will be able to become better, sorry if some chapters become boring in some parts or too bothersome to read, like some of the monologues where he gives commands but I thinks that's how the protagonist is and how I think someone who becomes high struck becomes just loves to hear his own voice.

==========================================================================

He logged in sometime in the middle of the night after a short nap in the afternoon after work.

He had five hours to play and he decided to finish what he had started in Destros.

==========================================================================

Destros

The professor was waiting for him outside the open prison door.

"You have ten hours of torturing pain ahead of you if you survive it you will gain the X gene in the healing factor but you must know from now that it will be Insanely painful"

"Can't we wait for three days, I haven't got ten hours today"

"Then lets begin with something less time consuming"

he said and let a small laugh escape the mechanic speaker on the center of his robotic body.

The mechanic limb dragged a corpse to his location and the professor said.

"This gene is a strange one as it's powers destabilize the body producing a teleportation effect, I want you to Try using it as a death triggered mutation, this experiment is a bit risky but if my Research is right then it will teleport you back to your HQ the moment you die without creating an Abomination "

"Wouldn't it be better to make it something like a self healing gene"

"Bad Idea do you want to wait for ages for your body to Repair itself"

"By the way what's the Omnipresence thingy"

"Well it's strange gene that creates spectral Images of yourself that will attack with you, It has been tried on death trigger but creating more Abominations than one isn't as helpful as it sounds"

"what about Decomposition and Negative force what do those do"

"Ahh, okay but this is your last question, Decomposition is a strange power that distorts the bonds among atoms and genes making them into anti-matter and then forces them to disappear, while Negative energy is a strange force that sucks energy from surrounding sources"

"Isn't decomposition better?"

"Never ask for it from me, it's one of the most dangerous genes and believe me you don't want to destroy everything around you as a mindless abomination"

"Last question why don't your data have anything on the Joker and Questionable gene"

"Because they are as they say, the joker is a joke of a gene that has random functions from other genes while questionable is a strange gene that has strange abilities that make no sense most of the time"

Darknym took the copse and assimilated it and a message popped out.

-Chose one of your three Mutation slots-

He put it into the Abomination slot and one death triggered ability was generated.

Genebomb gene - T-gene(t1)

You will respawn Immediately at your designated spawn point,

losing all your equipped items and maybe a few of your Inventory will be lost.

He didn't really care about it, the gene would be able to be upgraded when he reached level 10, probably making the penalties less severe.

"Next take this gene's corpse"

The professor said as he threw another corpse his way.

"This is?"

"A surprise, this one will become your special gene, you will understand how to use it when you see which gene it is"

Darknym reluctantly absorbed the gene and a special gene skill try was created.

Special gene - Y-gene(Y1)

The gene of youth and rebirth.

Darknym laughed a little and said

"Well it will be useful but can I ask one thing about the rebirth thingy?"

"Aren't you dying from pain right now?"

The professor asked surprised

"You mean the pesky headache, it's not even worth mentioning"

"Then absorb this as well"

The professor said bringing a third corpse inside.

Darknym absorbed it and felt an irritating sensation around his body, he had gained the X-gene but the Itchy sensation wouldn't leave him, he just Ignored it.

"So when is the pain supposed to start?"

The professor took out a mirror and showed Darknym his appearance. He had become a strange thing that looked like a ghost, his skin had turned black and strange participles of something black traveled all around him.

"Is this supposed to be my new form,not bad at all, does has any other abilities other than stealth?"

"Just look at your skills"

Darknym opened his skill tree for the gene and saw that he only had one skill unlocked.

(Temporary partial shape-shift)

can change a part of you into something different.

He tried it out but all that he could do was change his arm into a human hand or a lizard hand. The two genes he had assimilated before, both being useless but his second experiment, he liked it a lot.

He turned his ghastly head into a lizard head in front of the mirror, that would become helpful.Only problem being that he had to wait for the head to change into its original ghastly form.

"Not bad at all"

Darknym said with his lizard head.

"I can't understand what you are saying, wait a bit until your head returns to normal"

Darknym laughed making a hissing sound non comprehensible by humans.

It took 10minutes for the head to return to normal.

"This is perfect, why exactly is it supposed to be unstable?"

"Well first of all you just used a small amount of gene Integrity so you won't live for long but the real problem is that till level 100 you will constantly feel whatever you call headaches"

The professor said a little Irritated.

"Is there a way to gain the other mutation genes as well?"

"I almost forgot, the follow me I have modified the machine to enhance you further into an Omega mutant, it will give you all the mutation possible but it will lock your body inside the capsule for another week, will you do it, why am I even asking , just get inside"

The machine had more pipes now and had become double its size. He didn't know that it needed so much just to give him the last gene slot he hadn't yet, the virus gene.

He had spent only an hour in Destros before being back in the World selection screen.

He entered Allastar just to use up his Mp and went strait for Altgaia. He had four hours in front of him which he wanted to use to their fullest.

========================================

Altgaia

He appeared into a training room that looked like the ones used at a karate dojo, although it had some out of place things like a boxing bag and some gymnastic gear.

"So you came back at last"

Luther the team leader said

"Today you will become a real agent"

He said and gave him a strange disc like object.

"This is a learning disk, it will unlock your first profession"

Darknym took it without any care in the world he didn't really care about Altgaia anyway, he was just a bit curious how this world's mechanics worked.

He gained the Agent profession just by touching the disk and as he saw all basic skills were already unlocked. It made him feel cheated from Destros's hours of reading.

"Next chose your four secondary professions from the racks in the library"

He pointed him towards a room with lots of those strange disks. Darknym spent the rest of the four hours browsing through the collection of professions and after selecting four of which he liked the name he logged out.

He was now an Agent, nanomechanic, Bionic engineer, researcher and a Rocket scientist. The last was a bit of a last resource as most of the other professions seemed ordinary.

The day passed as usual at work and tomorrow he had no work, a pity he could only enter either Allastar where he was waiting for his town to be build or Altgaia where only the tutorial awaited him.

Once more he used all his Mp in Allastar and entered Altgaia.

"Now for the real training, take these and training till you think you are ready to step it up a bit"

Luther said as he passed Darknym a pair boxing gloves, a strange gun and some sort of device.

"What's this?"

Darknym said as he showed the device to Luthor.

"That's an automated stamina recharger, it will allow you to train without any breaks"

"Good to know"

Darknym said with a smile putting the heavy device down.

Darknym didn't even look at his skills as he begun punching the sack with all his strength. He didn't even spent half an hour before his stamina had ran out, just from punching the bag.

He was no boxer or even trained at how to punch the right way so it was predictable, it even reminded him his first time at the training hall and the basic training there, which he hadn't completed yet.

Blow after blow he exhausted himself and then replenished his stamina as if nothing happened with the help of the device, it was perfect for low level players but on higher level it would fall short as it recharged ten stamina per second, while high level players would have millions of stamina by then.

Next he begun jogging around the training room, at first he got exhausted after a few laps but after a while he found a tempo that was just perfect for a long time.

His thoughts went to other matters and before he knew it he had been jogging for a stunning two hours.

Next he went for the gun and begun some target practice nearby. The gun shot a beam of red light whenever he pulled the trigger and even kicked like a real pistol would, only thing it lacked was the sound of a gunshot.

He liked the target practice but it was somewhat lacking in some regards, like the targets being static and the gun not making noise at all making him unsure if he had shot or not.

I was time to sleep but for today he could afford a little extra two hours of training or more.

He was now exhausted but his training was satisfactory, at least by his regards. Tomorrow he would grind the rest of the day till he was satisfied with his stats.

His regime was one hour shooting practice, an hour boxing and then a few runs around the room.

Shooting boosted his reflexes, sandbag boxing boosted his strength and agility, while running boosted his speed.

His Altgaia character was probably the only warrior type character he had, not that it would be helpful in a world where guns were used.

==========================================================================

Allastar

Each day he entered Allastar he expanded his Magic powers to a great degree, his latest magic training was on Component spells, spells that required Items to cast, most times some herb but there were also those that needed sacrificing creatures or some of his Max Mp or Hp to work. He only used herbs for some spell that cures any decease or curse,the power of which depends on his abilities.

He spend the most of the day In Allastar trying to cast as many of these spells as possible and by using up his now Tremendous amount of Magic power which reached 6billion points.

(6million rocks)

He was closer to a Top level mage than a level 7 noob mage, The only things that were restricted by level inside the game were quests and some Incredible Items, which could be considered as broken by some.

===========================================================================

Real world

At work, inside the TV station he heard that there were rumors about a great Megapolis being built at the Dragon cliffs. He laughed inside, as he knew more about it than the reporters themselves. His job was plain and simple just adjust the sound levels, switch sound channels and other stuff he was by now used to. He had worked three years at the station so he was experienced in it, until today he was brought a new "apprentice".

He had just taken his diploma and just needed the experience. His name was George and while he might not be a greater sound engineer than him, he was more sociable and quickly made lots of connections inside the station. As Days passed Chris begun feeling more and more the gallows of him getting fired but he mostly worked out his stress in Altgaia's boxing sandbag, knowing that he could do nothing about the matter. George was younger, well looking and a really social guy, he was a little more loose but he made up for it with his friendly character and hard to get mad at behavior.

Chris was the absolute opposite, he was hard working but really antisocial, he did his work flawlessly but it made no difference if he was there or not, he was like a robot that only cared about doing his task and going back home. People in the station called him "the phantom of the tV station", probably because he walked so silently sometimes people simply bumped into him without knowing he was walking nearby.

Now as Darknym, Chris was punching the sandbag with all his fury Imagining it being a politician or his boss, George was not someone he hated since he too was a victim of the cruel society.

One hour had passed like nothing as he punched the sandbag boiling with rage. He then entered Allastar and Just used up his Mp, blew the casino with just two poker games and went to the training hall to train his fists on a training dummy till he made it bleed with his own blood

(only took him an hour to bleed).

Last thing he knew his eyes were shining with a red glow as he had been hitting the dummy for till it got dark outside. He had played four extra hours into the night. In a hurry he logged out and went to sleep.

The next day he was a corpse, at work not many saw it but George asked him if he was alright. He didn't give it much attention and continued doing his job normally.

It was today that his Destros avatar was finally unlocked. He first logged into Allastar, using up his Mp had become a real hustle as he now had 15 billion Mp to use.

After an hour and a half of multicasting highly draining spells he now entered Destros.

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

Well he still felt the itchy feeling but other than that he still looked like a ghost.

'Was it always so dark here?'

He thought as there were almost no lights around, the tubes of the machine, had no juice running through them anymore and he had lost his scavenger traits, other than the scavenge skill. He was now a 100% mutant and a monster by all means. He looked around and saw a note on the table, the white paper on a black background made it eye catching. He took the paper and went into the main room of the lab to read it.

To his surprise the lab's main floor was empty, other than some dead bodies on the floor, there was nothing else. All the machines and the screen had disappeared, no spider drones running around no sound at all.

Only a few sources of light remained, a lamp here and there that shone faintly. He sought answers from the not left on the table.

==========================================================================

Dear Darknym

I have given you the power you so much wanted but don't see any more

reason to stay in the lab. Now that my daughter is healed and

you have your power out paths must part, don't seek us or I will kill

you. Even Ellie thinks you are too dangerous to leave alive but since

I still have a use of you alive I leave you a few gifts, the lab

Itself and these, all the failed experiments of creating a mutant

but to you, they are precious gene samples to absorb.

Hope I don't see you again

Richard White

P.S.

Please don't get caught

too fast by the New order or your character will be deleted.

=========================================================================

'Just perfect, At least I have the teleportation thingy if I die'

He thought, for a moment relaxing and looking at the corpses. They were numerous and all were decomposing rather fast. He begun trying to Identify each gene with his genemage skill.

(Gene Identification)

Can Identify a creature's dominant gene.

After many failed attempts he gathered the genes he deemed worthy out of the pile of dead failed experiments. There were 18 corpses and he only chose six from the mix.

Lightning for the Virus gene In hopes to create some paralyzing effect or a anti-robot power.

King gene for the Mind gene, king gene had a hypnotic effect, normally it was useless in battle as it offers no damage potential to a biodemon but for resistance it would be Ideal.

For the physique gene he used the Ultravision gene, it offered different types of vision although he didn't see any difference, his level being bellow 10.

Berserk gene he wanted to use the teleportation for this one but there wasn't a corpse with that gene anywhere. He could have waited to create the gene but he was too much in a rush so he chose the Reflex gene. A gene that heightened the movements of the body making it move faster.

The program gene he gave the speed gene that allows for super human speed when moving.

Last was the Inheritance gene which he left blank for now. He didn't even know why anyone would need the gene, since it was non usable.

He didn't know yet but in FSK descendants were called the remade characters after a deleted character. It was made so since a lot of characters were deleted daily due to players doing risky or bad things. The newly made character Inherited 10% of his former character's stats, Items,money and skills, but all land property remained his.

Some players even had their characters deleted on purpose so that they could create a more powerful descendant character or try a different race. Deleting your character yourself didn't count to the rule unless it was done with some in-game spell or skill.

Darknym had now gained great powers and a base of operations, but his joy didn't last long as some bug-like monsters begun coming into the room crawling down the walls. They were small but looked really disgusting, having many eyes that shone an aerie red light, it was as if the walls had grown eyes of their own.

The tide begun descending upon the room, at first he thought that it was some event of the game but with the first point of damage he understood it was not so.

He could feel no pain from their attacks but the feeling of something crawling all over your skin was driving him crazy. You would think he would die from hundreds of attacks but it wasn't he who was dying, his rapid gene assimilation was something extraordinary. Thousands of insects that had climbed on him now lay dead or had been turned into gene Integrity, so fast that not even a minute had passed. Of course there were more of them but they didn't approach him, they were too preoccupied eating the rotting corpses.

He didn't think of it at first but he wanted to try it for a week now.He turned his head into one of those Insects and begun speaking.

"Who are you and how did you get In here?"

he talked but any human would only hear a buzzing sound.

"eat"

"food"

"food"

Was all he heard them say, it was strange but it seamed he could understand them, although they were plainly stupid.

He had reached level 25 and now he could unlock further gene powers, his problem was that he couldn't upgrade his genes, leaving him in a hard spot.

When the bugs finished eating the corpses they looked at him and left, crawling up the walls making disgusting sounds as they left in a wave of red lights.

With the Insect's head he could see in the dark but that was almost all the bonuses it gave him.

He looked around the lab some more to assess his situation. The library had no books and he saw that his inventory also lacked all books in it.

The second floor was in ruins, the room with the strange machines had stopped working and the living quarters had been turned into a mess by the Insects.

The room where Ellie was and which was used as his prison had nothing inside as usual lastly he went to the hangar only to see a large insect and thousands of eggs.

The lab had become a dungeon now but he didn't mind since for him they were nothing more than easy XP, maybe for a scavenger they would be a problem but his rapid assimilation skill could kill hundreds of them in mere seconds.

The rest of the time he just sat next to the brood mother and killed all the small Insects that charged at him, the mother Insect couldn't cope up with his killing spree, It was just too fast.

Truth be told for at least up to level 10 monsters his assimilation skill was an instant kill skill, and every one of these small Insects was only level 1.

Together they were deadly of course since 1000 of these insects could mount a person at a time doing 1 point of damage per second each.

He had almost reached level 450 before he had to log out and go to sleep, for he had to go to work tomorrow. His only thoughts now were to wake up on time for work, he always did think only of things that he deemed significant and at the moment the game was not for the time being.

For days to come he did his work, gridded his magic in Allastar, did a light 2hours training in Altgaia and in Destros he appeared in the prison room inside the Lab and went level grinding in the hangar until it was time to sleep.

He did so until the day his city was Built. He gathered his companions who were living at the Inn under his reservation although three were still missing from his group, they were Verial the dancer, Glurb the prince of thieves and Golem the gladiator.

"Any one of you knows where Verial lives?"

Darknym asked the seven who were now sitting at the same table.

"I think she lives in the city of Redsand in Ashrad"

Vin the merchant said.

Darknym cast a Clairvoyance spell and with his magic pool he went as far as travel through the Aquantic see, farther to the reaches of the desert kingdom and even farther reaching the City of Redsand.

He had come prepared having a map helped him find the city, but now he had to look for around a huge city for some sort of luxurious building, he first went into the first most luxurious building he found, it was by sheer luck or fate that he found her lying on a sofa, eating fruits from a small round table and a muscular slave making air for her, she hadn't all those extravagant jewelry on but he did recognize her.

With a second spell he teleported her to his location, satisfied at her surprised face as she fell on the filthy floor of the Inn.

"Now we only lack Golem and Glurb"

He said seeing that Verial didn't even raise any complains after being summoned without a notice, she even seemed rather terrified not knowing where she was but recognized the other seven without much difficulty.

Darknym's Mp pool was now one trillion Mp and he raised it by multicasting highly draining spells, one of which was Clairvoyance.

Clairvoyance made the world still while he moved the view and resumed time as he stopped moving the view. It was hard at first but he got a hang of it in no time, he could even peep at other people but he could not use it inside his royal suite since it had some strange enchantment that blocked him from activating it.

The teleportation he had used had drained him almost half of his Mp but he didn't care since tomorrow he would get it full once more.

Without him knowing it he actually could be called the most powerful player mage in Allastar, since few can cast difficult spells successfully and even less can successfully control them but for him it was all luck. Luck that allowed him to gain the spells, luck that allowed him to cast them and luck that mage was his main profession making it raise at a quicker pace than other mages who started with a fighting profession or a crafting one.

"Now does anyone knows where Golem is?"

Darknym asked

The eight of them were a little reluctant to say knowing that he was a gladiator, he would probably be somewhere in Drogan where all the Arenas were.

"I know"

Came a young voice from behind. It was Despina, the Innkeeper's daughter.

"Oh, although I would love to know where he is, I would also want to know how is it that you know where a Gladiator is?"

Darknym said while looking at her father.

"You see we used to live in Drogan, the capital of the Drogan kingdom I happen to hear there, that there was a gladiator with that name who did quite well in the arena"

She said quite proud about herself

"Well Information is gold so catch"

he said and threw her a gold coin.

Next he used clairvoyance and went straight for the capital, finding Golem would be a hustle since he didn't know his face but again luck was at his side as he saw Golem fighting in the arena, he wasn't sure if it was him but he had the same armor as the other time he saw him only thing was he lacked an arm now. Nonetheless he still tried to summon him there but a strange force Interrupted him from taking him away, it was as if the arena had a will of its own. Darknym however was lucky one more time as through a small hole in its defenses he took Golem away in front of hundreds of viewers Golem was teleported away.

"This was harder than I thought"

Darknym said before a strong arm

went for his neck

"Why did you take me away from the Arena mage"

He said in an angry voice, but that was definitely Golem's voice.

"Is your memory so short!"

Darknym said as he twisted Golem's arm behind his back and made him crawl on the floor.

"Do you want me to break your last moving arm Golem?"

Darknym continued saying.

Only then did Golem seeing the people at the table remember something that happened some time in the past. He had totally forgotten about his promise to meet them at Rubrick, not that he knew how to reach it.

'Now how to find Glurb?'

He thought for a bit but could come with nothing. but to his surprise from the shadows of the Inn came Glurb, or so he would like to think.

"Are you Glurb?"

Darknym asked the cloaked dwarf

"Me be so"

Said a smooth unnatural voice like that of a monster from the movies.

"Then we are ready we will leave in two days so you should stay in the rooms prepared for you at this Inn if anything is dissatisfied keep it for later, first I need to Inform all of you of your new responsibilities, you will see that some of you have more than some others but don't think too much into it since all decisions for the city starting from laws will be made by you, your houses inside the city will be paid by me, so make sure to create the most extravagant and expensive residence you can create cause It will be your home away from home and in the future your own Palace since you will be known as the Nobles of Dragon cliff"

The ten of them looked somewhat surprised and anxious at the same time they really weren't prepared for it.

"Could I have some of my servants as well?"

Asked Verial

"Well If you can describe to me what they look like and where to find them tomorrow morning you will have them here, I'm a little week from fighting with some stupid arena barrier"

Four of the Ten who knew that there was only one arena with a barrier looked like fish out of water, their mouths forming a perfect circle.

The Arena of the Drogan capital has the best Anti-magic circle and only creatures like dragons that have Magic powers beyond mere mortals can use spells in it, making what he said sound like empty boasting but seeing that he had just teleported Verial from the other side of the Aquantic sea and lastly brought a gladiator it made a believable lie at most.

"Now follow me to my room and where I'll explain to you the ins and outs of the city as well as tips of what can and cannot be touched"

Darknym said and nodded them to follow.

At first Verial had a shady expression on her face but when she saw his room, her mouth opened in amazement, making her wonder how an old filthy Inn could hold inside such a luxurious room.

"Your rooms are all designed like this one inside the Inn you can use your service bell to ask the servants for anything you like"

Darknym said seeing the face of Verial and Golem who were dumfound.

"Now I want you to know that the running of my businesses will be done by you, I don't care if you gain profit, because the real reason for my business is my own amusement"

The expression on everyone's faces changed color after hearing his statement. Theo who was already inside the room was already a bit frightened from the infamous minotaur slave hunter but after hearing his statement became pale, she had no Idea of what his true wealth was or of his guild's property, that now engulfed the entire mountain called Dragon Ledge, stretching towards the sea and even some ground near Rubrick, all belong to him, it took for the system a long time to reproduce his planned city,towns,castles,villages and outposts. But the real headache for the Programmers and the system must have been his crazily meticulous micromanagement. He spent a fortune in editing every aspect he wanted to exist in the city, the two towns, the four castles and even put some small farm villages and minor trading posts.

"This is a map of the domain you will be managing, my domain"

He said taking out a map and laying it on the table.

"Isn't this the map of the whole mountain and here and there it's wrong"

Said Theo while sneaking a look at the map out of curiosity.

"This is the new map of that area, it took a long time to reshape the mountain it seems but the map is a hundred percent accurate"

He said and took out twelve more maps out of his chest.

"These two are the maps of the City and it's underground, these four are the maps of the four castles located here, here, here and here"

He said and pointed out some squares on the map.

"The two towns and villages are all Indicated with black dots, the larger ones being the Megapolis Dragoncliff"

"Isn't Dragoncliff just a village?"

Theo said in an attempt to discredit him.

Darknym moved his hand and cast a spell on her called "Silence", normally used to stop wizards from spellcasting, but Darknym's chanting was done in such a low voice and speed that they could only see him moving his hand.

"Now be a little silent Theo, we are talking about serious business here"

Darknym said as she tried to say something but no sound came as she moved her mouth.

"The four castles will go to you four, Girdan, Golem, Robin and Joto but you will also have an Estate at the center of the city and be responsible for the warrior sector of the city"

He gave each of them a map of their respective castle and added.

"I want you to make any changes you like to the castles but remember that the four spires must be inside the plans of your castle"

The four spires were automated magic towers that shot death beams, he saw them being used in Anchora by the undead and they signaled the borders of the human and the undead territory. Killing any human foolish enough to enter their radius, of course stealth and wits could overcome the death spires but not without a small sacrifice. He spent thousands of gold on setting those atop the enchanted walls of the four castles.

"I only have four rules that you four will have to follow, first don't lose the castle without a fight worth my money to see, second you will never attack first but must always take revenge after being provoked, third you must not slaughter but just raid and loot, so that the orcs or other clans understand our might, last rule you must offer at least one captured prisoner per month, preferably female but males are okay as well"

Darknym said making the four of them smile a little before leaving for their rooms.

"Now the Two towns will be given to Verial, Vin and Marv, I give the second town to both of you brothers because I don't trust both of you, both as people and as merchants, but Since I need ordinary people like you two I will give you a city and two estates, one for each of you inside the city, Verial You will have the Town next to the sea while you two will have the one nearby"

He gave the one map to Verial and the second to Vin, the smart looking of the two twin.

"You can change the town schematics but know that three buildings are to not be deleted, first being a guild hall of my guild, second being the rebel headquarters and the third being the Lady of fortune bank building"

He said while showing three small buildings which were set as red on the map of the town.

"For you the rules are simple, all criminals are to be given to me for judgement, even petty thieves, second you are not to destroy the rebels unless they become too pesky but know that you are free to raid their place but they are not considered criminal unless they steal, rape or kill someone, third if you want a loan from me you have to simply offer me a bribe worth my time, last rule you will create your own armies that will listen only to yourselves and will protect the city until the real army arrives"

Darknym said and as they were about to leave he added.

"Ah and also you will be responsible for the Industrial section of the city so I would prefer it if it didn't blow up"

He said with a small smirk on his face while everyone looked at Marv at the moment.

"Irma you will be responsible for the Magic sector and will have an estate and servants of your own, I only hope you can cope with the responsibilities, from you I want to see you becoming a mage You have time till you become an Adult"

He said and sent her to her room.

Only two of the ten remained in the room and Darknym continued.

"Glurb and Barccas, you two are responsible for the Thief section of the city, known as slums and the Expensive district"

The two didn't understand but Darknym continued.

"Glurb you will be the Phantom leader of the guild, while Barccas you will be the spokesman of the Guild, but know that if any of your subordinates decides to enter some noble's house they will be in deep shit and the guild will be raided until the culprit is caught and handed over to me, but know that I have ways to determine if you handed the real one or if it's a fake, last thing I want you two to talk with Joto and tell him to establish a crime syndicate in the Expensive section of the city, offering protection for money but not by crushing things but by using thievery as the threat, In other words any shop that doesn't pay for protection is a potential target of yours understood?"

The both were about to leave but Darknym stopped them.

"Wait a little more, there are two more rules that I want you to follow, I want a tribute each month from the guild and it must have something to do with magic, some ancient artifact,magic item or some forgotten tome of magic but jewelry and such are also acceptable, one from each of you, You Glurb I presume will take it by yourself while you Barccas will use the guild, it's a challenge of you two to see who is better"

Darknym said with a smile that made Barccas a bit stiff but he didn't talk at all.

"Last rule, Barccas you will be in charge of finding any orphan or homeless inside the city Adventurers aside and either make them join the guild or send them to me, that is for your own good and theirs, also take the two maps of the city because you will need them in the future"

"Why is there in the central of the city a large blank?"

Asked Barccas a bit reluctantly.

"There are two blanks to be accurate, one is for your estates and the other is for my tower, until you finish building your estates you will be staying at my Tower as Guests, I might even give you a tour of all its fifteen levels"

Darknym said with a small laugh knowing that it would take at least a day to tour just one of them, since they could house a whole town Inside.

The ten of them had now left and Theo's voice had returned. Theo looked a bit down at the moment looking at the empty table which was once full of maps, Darknym seeing that took the opportunity to act.

"Would you also like a town of your own, or an estate in the city?"

He could see desire and greed in her eyes but she quickly answered

"I want nothing from the likes of you"

"Well I did see that coming but until your knight in shining armor comes you will have to keep up with my hospitality, since we will be leaving soon, you have one day free to inform him of where we are going but know that in a year he will lose even more easily than he lost before"

The last words hit on thin air as Theo had already left the room in search of her prince.

He used his clairvoyance to stalk her movements and when he saw her trying to fall into his open hands he cast an invisible wall between them, seeing them both trying to figure out what had happened as they crushed on the Invisible wall. He couldn't hear them but he could nearly Imagine from their faces what they were saying.

"What did just happen?"

Said Fayte holding his nose as if he feels pain from the crash, it's only a 2% and he makes it like it's real pain, he must be a real pushover in real life.

"It's that bastard again he must have cast some barrier between us"

Fayte's face was twisted with an unbelieving tone but also tiny traces of terror almost invisible to an untrained eye.

"Is he also here?"

Fayte said full of worry.

"He sent me to inform you that in two days we are leaving for the city of Dragoncliff and say our last goodbye since the whole city of Dragoncliff belongs to him"

Theo said with tears in her eyes while touching the invisible wall.

"Don't cry I will become strong, I have already begun training in the mage profession so that I can have fair chances against his magic, In one year we will be together once more and forever"

He said while touching the wall exactly where her hand was and then full of rage hit with his sword onto the wall.

He was hitting the wall for a long time before he understood that the damage of his bronze sword was nowhere near the real power of Darknym's magic. He couldn't see the durability of the wall but after two minutes of hitting it he was disheartened.

Theo facepalmed herself seeing Fayte trying to destroy the wall and just sidestepped until she could feel there was no wall in front of her and while Fayte was still hitting the wall she tapped him on the shoulder.

"You know there are smarter ways to overcome magic than bump into them, blade dancers also know how to evade don't forget about that"

She gave him a kiss on the cheek and just passed through the now dissipated invisible wall. The reason it had dissipated was nor Fayte's strikes nor duration of the spell, it was because Darknym desired it so. He wanted to reel up Fayte even more, to make him accept his challenge even if six months pass them by and the kiss he allowed as a goodbye.

'I should have become a scenarist'

Darknym thought seeing his play role so perfectly even if he didn't know what they were saying.

Darknym had passed a lot of time on all this and had only one hour left before going to sleep. He left Allastar only after confirming that Theo had returned to the Inn and entered Destros once more to level up for an hour's worth, the days before he had leveled up so much he was now level 3000 but his only inflated stats were the endurance and Wisdom stats, which he gained by the attacks of the bugs and by using skills.

His favorite skills were.

(Planning ahead)

An ability that slows time's

passing allowing you to think

ahead and plan your next move.

(max 50% time slowing)

(Time theory)

Boosts all your time slowing

skills effect by a small amount.

(passive)

(Peaceful thoughts)

raises the chance to avoid

monster attacking first.

(passive)

From the researcher profession which he could use for hours now.

The greatest boon the skill gave was not the time it gave but that he could use observation and Identification skills while using it, making his researcher, genetist and Genemage skills advance even more. Enabling him to unlock more skills in the process.

The only profession he couldn't grind was the gene engineer cause it required a fully equipped lab or specific tools to use the skills.

Genetist could Identify a creatures skills, stats and other things about it, while genemage could Identify genes both just with the naked eye. But those he had already mastered by using the Planning ahead skill numerous times.

In the past few days the net was booming with news of a player who had reached the unreachable level 2000, guilds searched through heaven and earth to find him, but as days passed from the level 2000 notice and not a single clue of the player's location was found things cooled down, only to make them more erratic as the level 3000 notice appeared. Rumors about it being a glitch or some error begun circulating while others said that he must be meditating in some secret cave while hunting like crazy, guilds were still frantic in recruiting him but none could find him, even the Administrators could not since they hadn't thought of a way a player could hack his avatar without their notice, even hackers could not edit stats or levels, they only inserted items into the game that corrupted some data and created many problems for the Company, but now someone had done it, he had found a way to add levels to his character, otherwise it was impossible to get past level 3000 which is practically like saying he does nothing but hunt or PK all the time in-game, which was the truth by the way.

If the administrators knew of this bug they would have no doubt worked on it, he killed 1000bugs per minute although normally it would be per second but he had to use his skill as well so it went slower. He would have continued level grinding till level 10000 if he hadn't a life at all but work was in order, Chris wasn't even aware that Hundreds of guilds at the moment would pay millions just to have him join their guild.

If someone said he was a monster then he would probably be right because his Hp by now far overcame most bosses in the game not to talk about his Tp that although could not rival his Hp were such that allowed to use skills all the time. He also vowed to kill anyone who would harm them other than himself probably.

With his new found powers than wasn't so hard. Truth was he had become a little obsessed with the little creatures his precious XP goose the Brood queen, he hadn't killed her even once as she was the source of all the small bugs. All she said was "breed, must breed more" and "Help, help" when he shape-shifted his head into an Insect's well her program was surely lacking.

He had already seen her stats.

He didn't care since they were just a little bigger than the common buglings around the size of his palm.

It was a pity that monsters didn't level up in FSK and Destros' pet system was mostly about robots, since monsters get killed and then it's over while robots can be repaired. Darknym would have given everything for a beast tamer profession right now, taming monsters in the dunes of Destros to fight would be perfect but time was up and he had work tomorrow as usual.
