”You…I don’t have time, I just have to visualize releasing the energy” Alex closed his eyes as he focused, “Shit nothing is happening”

“Match point” the mage smirked as the boar crashed into Alex.

The boat slammed into Alex and sent him flying across the arena, with the way the boar attacked him everyone was sure his spinal cord would probably be broken.

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ The dark binds used to trap him were torn as the boar hit Alex, Alex was sent flying and rolled on the ground before stopping himself.

[-50HP]

“Ouch…” Alex shouted as he held his back, he was in pain but not like the mage expected, Alex stood up after a few seconds and the crowds were stunned.

Even though the boar wasn’t as strong as the evolved wolf, the boar was powerful enough to break Alex’s bones but none of his bones were broken and he only lost 50HP.

“At least you saved yourself, you would have died for sure, good thing your brain is a little quick” the voice spoke again.

“I didn’t do anything, I tried but it didn’t work” Alex replied.

“You still need more practice but the flame energy you absorbed earlier was what saved you from the boar’s attack just now, instead of releasing the energy you used it to wrap your entire body for protection”

“I did that, I just tried visualizing it and then the boar hit me, wait who are you?” Alex whispered.

“Now that you are alive you can talk, we’ll speak later for now try to dodge another attack,” the voice said and the boar was looking at Alex while brushing its foot against the ground.

Seeing that its first attack did nothing to him the boar was furious and looking to end Alex’s life with the next attack, Alex was far from the mage so he couldn’t use his dark blinds to trap him this time, if the mage move a little closer he wasn’t sure what the boar would do so he maintained his distance.

The mage knew Alex lost HP from the first attack and two more of those attacks would probably kill him so he just had to wait, Alex on the other hand was preparing himself so he could dodge the boar’s attack.

Alex knew boars weren’t as fast as wolves so he would be able to dodge the attack but it would solve nothing, the boar would keep attacking till he was dead or unconscious.

Now that the energy he absorbed from the flame spell was gone the next attack would be fatal and now his HP was down to 170.

Alex turned to the mage and ran towards him, now that the energy he absorbed was gone he wanted the mage to shoot him with another fireball spell so he could absorb it.

Immediately Alex began to run the boar charged toward him and Alex ran toward the mage.

Due to the agility boost the mage was much faster than Alex and as soon as he saw Alex running toward him with the boar behind, he turned around and also ran.

He thought Alex was leading the boar towards him so the boar would attack him but Alex had a different plan. The arena was circular so the three of them ended up circling the arena but everything changed when the cage opened again.

[Fanged Boar]

[Level 15]

[HP: 170]

The mage was the closest person to the new beast that stepped in, and as soon as the boar saw the mage it charged towards him without thinking.

The mage use the magic boost potion so if he used his [Dark binds] he would be able to trapped the boar running towards him for some seconds but that would give Alex enough time to close the distance between them.

“Damn it’s cold here” a man mumbled to himself as he quickly sat on an empty chair, he looked at the rest of the people seating and they were all shivering.

A large table was placed in the middle of the room and six figures were already seated around the large table before Aaron and Aurora stepped in.

As soon as he stepped in all six of them stood up and remained standing till he sat, Aurora stood beside him holding a paper and a pen.

“*Clear throat* I’m sorry for taking your time, you all know why you are here right” Aaron spoke.

“I’m sorry sir but can we turn off the AC, it’s quite cold here” a female spoke as she tried to use her coat to cover her body.

“I’m sorry, Aurora please turn off the AC,” Aaron said and Aurora simply nodded and head towards the switch.

The people seated were a few of the most important structures of Future company, they were heads of teams that monitor, test, develop, design, and bring new ideas for Nova Online.

“Can we continue?” Aaron said.

“Yes sir…My team and I worked on the appearance of the demon and we improved it a little, though it’s the same as the one you created but we added few changes should I show it to you” a man spoke, he was the head of the designing team.

Each team was divided into smaller groups for better efficiency, the designing team for example, one team is responsible for characters and NPC design, another team is responsible for building designs, and so on.

“You don’t need to show it to me, I know you did a good job” Aaron spoke and a smile curved from the corner of the man’s face.

“The rest of the teams are ready to work on the update but one question remains, how should we add an entire race to the game, should we create a demon kingdom or a dungeon?” the female who spoke earlier asked.

“That’s one of the reasons why I called you here so I can ask your opinions,” Aaron said.

“Creating a demon army isn’t the problem, starting a war would be the problem, after the update the players would be informed about the latest updates and if a demon kingdom is mentioned all the players would probably gang up and attack there, how the top 8 players cleared a Mythical dungeon” one of them spoke.

“You are right, but what if we don’t actually mention the demons”

“Or we mention the demon but we don’t say anything about them, we can also mention the war, so the players would know a war is coming but they’ll have no idea when, where, or what demons are,” one of them said.

“Hmmm…I like that idea, let’s go with that” Aaron spoke.

“I also have another idea, though it’s not related to the demons” the female spoke.

“Go on we’re listening”

“Now that we increased the number of beasts, we should add a feature where the players are told if a city or a village is in danger, players closest to the location, maybe a band of goblins attack a small village, all the players around would be able to help the villagers and gain XP and fighting experience” she spoke and Aaron nodded his head.

“We’ll also add that to the update, good work,” Aaron said to her and she smiled.

“The demons would be the next big conflict in Nova Online so of course, we’re going to create a demon kingdom and a demon king,” Aaron said.

“What if we use an existing kingdom, we’ll just make the demons take over a small city then from there news would spread to other larger cities about demons and more attacks would follow and when the world feels threatened, a peace treaty would be signed by kingdoms who are at war and all the kingdoms would focus on killing the demons first” Wilfred spoke.

“That’s a good idea, it’s almost realistic so it would probably work in our favor,” the head of the design team said.

“We’ll go with that, have each team work on what we discussed and show me the progress then we’ll see what to add or remove, that’s all,” Aaron said and stood up.
