《The Worst》Chapter 24 - Ghosts of the Past

Simon's POV
Simon and Emy were sunbathing, Emy had regulated so that there was no way of sunburning so it was like a warm and gentle summer sun, with a gentle breeze that didn't feel cold at all.
"Emy, I'm really Jealous of you, your roof garden is quite good and you even have a swimming pool"
Simon said suddenly out of the blue.
"Don't call me Emy, my friends call me Green and who are you to say that, you are probably the first person who can boast about going with two of the ten Divas at the same time"
She said, making Simon's face change colors.
"Don't be afraid, I'm sure that Purple won't hold any bad will against you after all she has been sucking on your dick for days now"
Emy/Green said with a wicked smile that made Simon gulp heavily as the one he called Ameth was sucking on his now failing penis.
'I can always just turn them into sex toys'
He thought to calm himself down but his situation was rather bad, the reason was that he wasn't confident enough to take on the Empress yet.
"Emy, Em...Green how did you become Divas?"
Simon asked somewhat puzzled, after all information about Divas was scarce and he had nothing on them.
"Why ask, don't you like our company?"
Green said somewhat mockingly but in a rather sexy voice, if not for her youthful appearance he would have been all over her.
"Little Green don't play with me, at least I'm not the one who was moaning the other day"
He said somewhat trying to mock her.
"But weren't you moaning today and yesterday from excitement, although I really didn't know that Purple was so good at it"
Green said with a rather mocking expression that spelled danger to him. If he ever released Purple it might result in some really bad aftermath.
'Well no rush, I can always think about what to do another time'
He thought as he closed his eyes and his penis erected once more.
Green really couldn't figure out what he was thinking, after all in her opinion he was just a somewhat special hacker, she didn't know how he did it but she was sure that there were plenty of ways to win against him. Even now she was thinking new ways to counter his skill.
========================================================================================
Lidie's POV
Lidie respawned once more somewhere in the third floor, it was the last place they had camped.
It was a rather bad situation since she didn't know where the boss chamber was and she was asleep when they had travelled there.
-Mary can you send me the map with how to reach you?-
Lidie send the message and awaited, but in just a second Mary appeared next to her.
"I think there won't be a need for that"
Mary said, she had died just a minute after her and their penalty was no experience gained from the boss fight, a harsh punishment but they didn't care, after all they would advance to the next floor, where new loot awaited.
It took them half an hour to reach the boss chamber, Mary knew the way so it was rather easy to reach it, their only problem was avoiding the Ice skeletons and mages on their way there.
"Lidie do you think that Galie will wait for us in the chamber?"
Mary asked somewhat nervous after all Galie was a littly light-headed at times.
"The better I want of her that she stays put"
Lidie said, she had already sent her a message, the worst thing that could happen was getting seperated in this huge dungeon.

when they reached the snow plains where the the Ice lich was, inside they saw countless snowmen.
Kitty was sitting on Galie's head instructing her on how to make snowmen, the first few looked rather plain, missing any features but at some point they became more laborious, they begun having strange arms made of Ice crystal and facial features made of the same material.
"Galie, we are back!"
Lidie shouted, Galie was far away at the moment and looked rather preocupied trying to make a giant snowman or something, as she was rolling a large ball of snow.
Meow!
Came the command and Galie begun crushing the snowball into snow, afterwards she begun making a door and went further inside it.
Mary and Lidie didn't understand what she was doing but as they approached the entrance small snowballs shot for their faces, missing big time however.
Galie probably wanted a snowball fight but a few moments afterwards they were forcefully teleported to the floor bellow, probably someone else was going to challenge the boss.
"Boo! why did they kick us out?"
Galie complained, she came to like the snow there although she was getting somewhat uncomfortable with her mage robe and high-heel shoes.
"By the way, it seems that your special hellfire combo will not be very usefull here"
Lidie said, the corridor they were in was rather hot and they could see a skeleton warrior who was on fire some distance away, they could see him mostly because of the flames.
"It's a burning skeleton warrior"
Mary said somewhat afraid, the monster should be level 140 but for some reason Mary who was nearing 200 was still afraid of it.
"Lidie, Galie when you kill them make sure not to be near their corpse, they tend to explode sometimes healing thir allies and attacking their enemies at the same time"
Mary explained, it was true that if they found many skeletons it would become bothersome to defeat them.
"Lidie, how do we fight them?"
Galie asked, she only had the metal spheres as pyrokinesis and fireballs were useless against them.
"Just use your shield to absorb damage and the balls to smash them to pieces"
Lidie said as calm as snow, she didn't see any danger in fighting skeletons that didn't even reach her own level, after all they were all above level 150.
"Lidie, there's a good reason as to why these skeletons are dangerous"
Mary said, trying to disuade them from taking any rush actions.
"Mary, why are you so afraid of these burning bones"
Lidie asked.
'it can't be that she's afraid of them exploding'
She thought inside, after all it couldn't be that dangerous.
"Truth is that I have fough simple burning skeletons before, their level wasn't above 50 but their explosions were enough to kill me even without them being able to hit me"
Truth was that the heat from the explosion did some splash damage even if the explosion didn't hit you directly, some flames would still jump at you doing a minimum damage.
"Come on it's just one skeleton"
Lidie said, it was rather simple to kill him by her regards.
Bang!
The metal ball was reflected to the side, the skeleton was rather good at it, reflecting the metalic sphere was no little matter.
However there was another matter which Lidie and Galie couldn't have predicted, the metalic sphere after a few minutes begun to deform from the heat, it didn't change it's attack force but it reduced it's speed making it somewhat easier for the skeleton to deflect.

"Lidie, I think that we need to change tactics"
Galie said nervously, she could see the sphere dripping liquid metal with each blow from the skeleton's burning sword and shield.
"Why do I have to do everything myself"
Lidie said as she took out the axe she had planed to use on the Ice Lich and begun attacking the skeleton.
With her attacks and the two spheres the skeleton had no time to fight back and easily crumbled into nothing but bones. The burning skeletons had a 50% chance to explode and with Lidie's luck, explode it did. Lidie appeared once more in their prior camping sight on floor three.
'At least I know the way'
She said to herself as she headed towards the boss room, after all they didn't wait to set a new spawn-point, so it was rather far away.
-Lidie, we just saw the other team descending, we are going to the boss room to play snowball fights, it's just too hot on the fourth floor-
Mary sent her a message making her feel somewhat releaved, at least they wouldn't advance without her.
It took her half an hour to reach them, this time they camped on the fourth floor's entrance in order to set a checkpoint, they didn't want to wait again for so long just for one of them to respawn.
"Lidie what you are doing there?"
Galie asked somewhat puzzled and a Meow came to her answer.
"I'm trying to raise my skill as a trader, you know we traders can pack some different items together in a bundle so that it takes less space in our inventory"
Lidie said as she showed her a strange present box, Galie opened it and saw the bone golem's core, the bone staff and the frozen heart from the ice mage.
"Do you gain anything from doing so?"
Galie asked somewhat puzzled after all they had 100 slots for Items, it was impossible to use them all up without overburdening themselves.
"Galie, for traders packing valuables is a must, you see if I don't pack those Items, although they are light, they will take too much space"
Lidie said, of course it was bullshit, most merchants only trained the skill to gain enough skillpoints to raise their profession higher, but Lidie wasn't like them she would probably at some point fill her inventrory full of junk.
"Oh, but doesn't it drain your stamina or magic?"
Galie asked, after all they would have to advance in 20minutes, advancing with low stamina was stupid so they would probably have to rest for a little longer.
"Lidie she has some right"
Mary said, she too was a little concerned but Lidie couldn't just wait there and do nothing.
"Do we log out after setting a spawn point?"
Mary said, she really wanted to log out right now but she had to wait to establish the spawn point not that it was essential but doing it after she logs in again was out of the question.
Now they all begun grinding their skills to their outmost, using up all their magic and stamina, it was the last thing they would do before they stopped playing for now, although Lidie and Galie might camp for a while longer as they had done before.
========================================================================================
Time's POV
Time was sitting in his desk, he was rather anxious about the mission he had given Demons, after all framing Galaxia was rather hard after all she only had a level 1 clearance, he had tried to track their capsules but it was impossible to find their location, so he decided to try and kill them inside the game, Demons with his clearance level had the ability to kill others but he was too uncontrolable, all top notch people were such.
It was a pity that he could only communicate with him through letters, the reason was that the system didn't record what's on a letter so they can write whatever they want on the paper.
'Will they trully survive Demons, or do I need to send someone else to PK them, all I need is three or four PKs and I can get their ID'
Time though anxiously, after all Lidie had the revs card and could be found at any time at his convenience, Mary was in his guild so she too was a good tracking device if Lidie ever got rid of the revs card.
Time looked through a catalogue he had in front of him, in it was a list of guardians, they weren't even high clearance ones, those were all the guardians whom he himself sent over the years.
Time remembered long ago when he played FSK and later W6, In W6 he became a captain of a ship transfering metals from one country to another and with his foresight he made the best deals possible, there was no sea disaster that could stop him, but all that changed after countless oracles appeared, he no longer could foresee the future as well as he could before and good deals became harder to come by .
Of course he was still a merchant god for some years with his real life skills, after all he had already acquired gold beyond count, but when everyone became his equals he was a no one, he could no longer foresee the future acurately and his psychic powers were trash if they didn't work at all, his predictions were flawed and his riches dwindled with time, at that time he cursed the creators of W6, he wanted them to die.
There was only one reason why he survived the massacre of the elderly, he had forseen it. Normaly all elderly were killed, of course there were some exceptions but all of them had one point in common, they all hated Chris, the one also known as Darknym. Of course his appearance and name faded from their memories but their grudges would never dissapear, there were probably hundrends of people that cursed him for turning them into psychics or for awakening some people that were better off without powers.
"Paper, paper, where's the paper?"
Time looked around the desk for an empty sheet of paper, he wanted to write something he remembered a name that he had engraved deep in his mind but had forgoten all about it.
'Darknym'
He used to know that despicable fellow, he even had him in his friend list in FSK but in W6 he hadn't met him even once, although there were rumors that wanted him also playing the game.
'Galaxia Darknym'
That last name, what did it mean. Only now did he begin making a connection, if what he thought was correct then he dreaded even the Idea of what it could mean. But Darknym was long dead, there was simply no way for him to be alive unless he was a demon or a ghost.
The secretary came in bearing a letter from Demons.
Time took the letter rather rushly as if it was something on which all his life hung on.
Time could only curse his bad luck, Demons took his orders as a joke and nothing more. Time couldn't condemn him after all the orders were hastly made and they had almost no info on Galaxia Darknym, even her counterpart Lidie was a rather eccentic person, she had too few people she called friends and most of them were already dead. Time could feel her loss, he too, long ago, was hotblooded and in a moment of madness created the revs, if not for his hatred for Darknym that time he wouldn't have had such a good deal with Merry.
All he had to do was recruit those discontent with the system and have them become Guardians or simply die, in exchange he became successful and respected by all, even centurions had to show him some respect. His only problem was that he couldn't leave Allastar, he was sort of an administrator in Allastar, here he was akin to god, although he still tried to keep low profile, otherwise it would be dificult to call himself a rev.
Time begun writing letter after letter, there were too many things that he didn't know and in reality he was somewhat angry at the moment with Demons.
'he could at least kill them and ask later'
He thought with anger as he was writting letter after letter.
Fourty letters were written, thirty of which were burned, they were written with too much emotion to his liking, as a leader he had to be objective, his letters had to be devoid of personal feeling, all had to be for the revolution. A deceit that he played for years now.
"Ten letters, ten individuals, If I can't get information this way I will give up on Galaxia and report to the empress"
Time said to himself, he wasn't crazy enough to risk everything just to gather information.
The letters were sent and now he awaited in his desk drinking expensive cognac, glass after glass, he was rather impatient, after all he had just moved all his forces, asked favours of old acquaintances and even offered some rewards to a bounty hunter or two, all this just to decide whether Galaxia was dangerous or not, all that to ensure his own safety.
========================================================================================
Max's POV
Max was riding a ship to the Isleplains, if all went well in a week or so they would reach the Isle of Offshore, it was the closest Island to the dungeon.
"Why did we have to take them with us?"
Max asked rather angry.
The ones he talked about were the Valkyries, the famous transvestite unit of the Helllion guild. They looked like women but some of them had dicks, it was of course their decision to make but it made him feel uneasy around them.
The Valkyries were of course really strong, there was no denial of that fact but they weren't the best to hung with, they were too how to say it heterophobic. They hated females and looked at them with disdain, after all there weren't many women who were better at fighting than them, the reason was mostly because they had breasts and liked to look after their appearance more than effectiveness, not that there weren't guys that did the same but not to such an extend as to match the color of their boots with the color of their hair.
Max's problem was that the three elite groups that were sent weren't too happy about him being there.
The Valkyries called him homophobic, the Dark flame called him daddy's boy and the Red Hell didn't even talk to him, they were too highstruck, they thought of themselves as the real elites of the guild and in a way they were, they were all veterans who only played in Allastar and in contrast to the Dark flame group they fought head on, not by assassinating their oponents making them more likable to the public opinion, after all no one likes backstabbers.
Dark flame after all had strange strategies, they would first send a player to the oposing team to scout and then if they let him join they are dead, if not he will just silently observe and act accordingly but the worst they had ever done was infiltrate other guilds and steal their stuff, the only problem was that they couldn't change names so they had to come up with different strategies each time, their leader is an expert in assassinations and the members were rather strange, in a way they ate up most of Helllion's budget to create traps and gadgets, although there were lots of failures.
"Max you must understand that having powerful allies is already half way to be victorious, the other half is to be strong yourself"
Ben said, the man was rather friendly but his phylosophical mumbo jumbo could drive anyone crazy.
"Max, my boy don't fight it go with the flow"
Dublin said as he put his face in between a pair of large tits, earning a slap.
"It was so worth it"
He said as he earned a second slap.
Dublin was the prunkster of the Helllion guild, if someone said that he was an elite player, not only would the people from the Helllion guild laugh they would even joke about it for weeks to come. In contrast Benjamin was an elite by himself, he was a great swordsman but Dublin, Dublin was something sort of a joker, he just made them laugh, although many of his jokes were cruel in nature.
Dublin liked to trick newbies wasting their characters away, making them select professions that were utterly useless. But if there was one thing that Dublin was good it was acting. Dublin had hundreds of disguises that he used to wear, making people think that he was an NPC, he had even given a few quest to some unsuspected noobs, a pity they couldn't succesfully complete his quests, after all they were lairs for level 100 players and quests he had gained himself.
If there was one thing about Dublin that was elite was his stealing abilities, he was a master thief, well with a few bad moments attached but he was good at it. Pickpocketing in Allastar was rather tedious, so too few practiced it professionaly, first of all you had to put a hand in the other's pockets, which to Dublin was quite natural.
In real life he used to be a pickpocket as well, although there he had better tools for the job.
In Allastar he had to try harder just to get a few coppers out of someone's pockets, while items were even more difficult to steal, unless the oponent is under a special condition there was no way to steal an Item from his inventory.
Equiped items were unstealable but there were still ways to attain one, by simply killing the person, although there was low probability of an equiped item falling, but it was a lot faster and less stressfull.
The stealing process went like that, you had to put your hand in his/her pockets and after a small cooldown take it out, the problem was that the time was regulated by the price of the item, some items needed hours to steal and those only cost silver, imagine how long gold items needed. Of course that was only for beginner thieves, afterwards you gained plenty of abilities that reduced the time by a couple of minutes each.
"Relax Maxie, life is too long now, you have all the time in the world"
Dublin said, in part it was true since they would never age after the age of 18, it was set by the system and children were an uncommon existence only seen as npcs.
In truth there were hundreds of Npcs that were after Max, but he didn't want his special someone to be a system made woman, he wanted her to be real. Of course he wasn't a guardian and probably wouldn't be able to have real children, but they could still have Npc children in Allastar or another world.
Max looked into the distance at two other ships that were also travelling the seas, he wasn't sure why but he had a bad premonition as he saw a ship without a flag heading their way.
One cry made his heart pump in excitement.
"Pirates!"

Dauntless: Origins
Snow white hair, blue eyes, pale. Devil, monster, mutt, failure.This story follows one Tyr Faeron, crown prince, heir primus and mass murderer. A wrathful, angry, and lost young man that has made it his goal to hunt down the men that killed his mother - and he is on the cusp of finishing the promise he'd made before her cairn stones so many years ago. On the surface he is duplicitous, whimsical, and base of cunning - but within the depths beyond the many masks he wears, something is waiting. Waiting for an end, the end he'd come to long for, whether it be to himself or any possible threats in his vicinity. After that long labor of vengeance is completed... Nobody knows, not even him - an arrogant and otherwise solitary individual with nothing in the way of friends - only the brothers of the blackguard who follow him through life as he pursues this mission. He was born a prince, but he'd be called a disappointment - failing to manifest the great power that he was born to before being summarily discarded by his father, a 250 year old 'primus'. That word again... Men who can shatter mountains and level cities, that's what he was supposed to be. Some call them demi-gods, all Tyr sees is a poor excuse for a parent. Time had made him bitter, cruel, and arguably psychotic - seeing only enemies wherever he looks. They'd come for him, too, one day - to wipe the slate clean and make room for another - and it's his conviction to ensure that he dies while taking as many of those rats with him. This is a story about finding acceptance, growth, and understanding - from the point of view of a cold and brutal individual who wears many masks. Of someone who was born to be the greatest emperor the eastern continent has ever seen - but he failed in that. Strong, yes, but only in the context of a man - Tyr's magic is weak. His convictions are weak. He has been made a beast of instinct by loss and a constant confronting of his own impotency in the face of his father. A mythos that stretches across planes, of magic, a pantheon of cruel gods. Of someone who's dedicated his entire mind to the art of killing a man, and none to living a normal childhood or coming to understand friendship, empathy, or compassion. The first five years of his life a mystery, a hole none have ever been willing to fill, leaving him warped and twisted. His formative years gone and what must've been most of his humanity along with it. Now 17, he is on the cusp of leaving the city he'd never been permitted to leave for what might be the first time in his life. Always searching, though he won't know what for, for some time. An episodic that follows experience and symbolism rather than a never ending series of battles - where the conflict lay in constantly searching for wholeness in lieu of great villains or heroes. This is where it all started, the origin, the tale told a million times - and yet it hadn't been, 'reality' is tricky like that. The greatest lie ever told by the tongue that speaks is that any of this was real at all.
