Chapter 9: End of Prologue

Tyr will have to wait for several patches before he can see his pristine bodies value in-game. For now thou he is happy with getting one. In his past life, the real effects of Odyessy were both on people and the member worlds. Scratching his head as a throb overcomes him. With the increased synchronization rate in his implant. He is starting to experience a backlash so he decides to leave those unaccessible memories alone.

It takes him less than an hour to reach the rest of his team. They are sitting together on the sixth floor. The team like Tyr is enjoying the benefits of having a pristine body. This is especially true for Frey and Styx. As spirits, they have tiny health pools. At level zero using Tyr as average. He currently has one hundred health. For each stat point in strength, he will one hundred more health. Styx gets seventy health per point since he is thirty per cent corporeal on top of being twenty per cent Purifier and fifty per cent Guider. Frey is a full spirit who only get fifty points of health per point. Races like Orcana and Giants who live in extreme condition tend to higher points.

Tyr gives his team a once over. They have all done brilliantly he wishes that he could just tell them he is a reincarnator and that they haven’t suffered for nothing. Alas, some things are just not possible. The team all follow ready to get the trial over with.

Frey says, ” After waiting for you. For so long we think the purpose of this tower is to teach.”

Styx says, “It’s the only reason I haven’t quit it yet. Five floors all filled with nothing but pendejos! If not for those other Guiders combat techniques I would have left.”

SKY Ocean Hunter says, ” Don’t forget the history I learnt a lot about my Sunken Ocean.” SKY Ocean Hunter has found many clues to help with his ascendency to Royal Reef lord. The amount of knowledge they have gain has made this trip far more worthwhile than any of them could have imagined. Tyr is pleased that they have taken all this in. Most players would just want to kill monsters and level up

On the outskirts of the sixth floor. A group of twenty humans walk into the grassland. The gentle blowing of a fresh summer breeze. Stings their cuts and agitates their bruises. Thousand Styles Miles and his crew have fought tooth and nail to reach this floor.

He could have never imagined that it would be this difficult to acquire the War God Oberths’ sword. If he had none he would be eaten by flesh-eating moths. Have to swim in bone-chilling, leech-infested waters. Crawl through piss and shit since they were all too weak to fight the giant bats that were on the third floor. It even got into place he didn’t think should be.

Seeing an average human male, talk to his Naga leader pisses him off. The two spiritual beings are basically frolicking in the sun. Without a care in the world. Why did he have to pay a small fortune to torture a living component of Odyessy just to access this information? How did these people even make it here. He mashes his needing someone to release his frustration on.

His ass is still itchy from the poisonous mist that killed him three times just to get here. He directs his team towards the carefree party. As he is approaching

A tornado appears accompanied by a golden light. Seven Triangular portals gather as one star. Ramata wearing a moving metal heavy armour suit. With a massive magic pulsing spear steps out of the tornado.

Ramata says, “Step forward those who would be tested! The testing of those who are worthy will begin. Be warned, be alert, be prepared life is cheap by the tornado.’

Thousand Styles Miles is about to lose it. He just completed five floors of hell. What else could they possibly be testing? He doesn’t even care anymore about the Pristine Body. It is not worth the suffering. Arrving in front of Ramata he manages to control his temper. Before he can say anything to Ramata she vanishes.

SKY Ocean Hunter says, ” Ramata is so cool. What kind of armour do you think she is wearing.”

Styx says, “Armour, are you blind look at the magic coming off that weapon. What level do you think she is?”

Frey says, “Calm down boys we still have a ways to go before we’re done.”

Thousand Styles Miles has had enough. He clinches his butt cheeks trying to scratch the itch. He points at the party of oddly matching people. “You will not be going any further! This towers’ treasure is mine.”

“Haha!” Everyone in Tyrs party bursts out laughing. To think they would already meet a hunger hippo. John sends a message in their group chat.

SKY: ‘Who wants to teach these guy a lesson?’

Tatiana: ‘Too weak for me plus they smell.’ another round of laugh Styx even points at a few of guys. Frey is moving her shuriken like weapon behind her. She is focused on the Syphon she can see his evil white aura. Nineth Immortal being a higher being can also pick out SoulStealer as a neutral fiend.

Styx: ‘ I’m more suited to strike from behind, lady fire?’

Lux: ‘ Nope! PVP is no fun if you already know you are going to win.’

SKY Ocean Hunter: ‘ Two minutes is all. I’m giving so please be quick oh fearless leader.’

Tyr looks at his team pretending to not care but each and every one of them is ready. Tyr has already told how the difference between the unlimited system and the normal control system. So that’s why there are all rightfully confident even though these players are level fours for the most part.

Tyr wants to give Thousand Styles Miles a way out. He doesn’t feel like he is meeting his idol. Thousand Styles Miles has always been surrounded by controversy but Tyr in his past life nobody reach the top by being nice. Tyr walks forward placing himself between SKY Ocean Hunter and Thousand Styles Miles.

Tyr says, “NO! This place is not yours but we can work together that way you will reach a higher at least.” Though vailed as an insult Tyr is using his memories. No one has ever passed the eighth floor using the limited system under level one hundred. They simply don’t have enough skills to versatile enough to pass.

SoulStealer see eyes on him and feels oddly pressured by the human of all things. Even though he stands in a relaxed manner every time Tyr’s gaze passes over him. Something inside him shrinks.

Thousand Styles Miles brow raises in anger. He won’t allow these nobodies to steal his treasure. with a little heat in his voice, he says, ” Give this father a little respect and stay here…I will allow you to play after I am done.”

The group of twenty humans all agree with their leader. It is clear these fools who they are messing with after all. Thousand Styles Miles is about to sign with an Internationally Ranked Guild.

Tyr shakes his head and says, “Son this is your last chance.” Throwing back the insult. Ramata doesn’t do anything the Trial ground is a combat area. If anything it will help her determine which group to support. Players will only find out later that NPCs have their reasons for doing things. It is how the game generates dynamic quests.

Thousand Styles Miles light up like a firecracker and yells ” Kill them all.” Two short swords are thrown from behind Sky Ocean Hunter. Hitting two robe-wearing humans in their necks. their blood stands returning the blades. Lux lets the swords fall to the ground she is using her innate talent at tier zero. She can only make take it shape. Her hands glow as the blood become swords.

From the crowd of Miles a few bowman notch arrows. The problem is that this supposed relaxed group of players is in formation behind the Naga making it hard to spot them. Also Since they have never worked together they are not sure if the melee fighters are going to go in or not. The chat explodes confusing their ranks.

Thousand Styles Miles moves out at SoulStealer who is a former national rank guild fighter should be able to stand his ground. SoulStealer is a dagger-wielding Syphon, while Thousand Styles Miles is using a European style long sword.

Thousand Styles Miles sends SKY Ocean Hunter a conditional duel request. A rather simple system for PVP. The condition is that whoever losses will be sent back to the first floor. SKY Ocean Hunter Accepts only having added to repeat all the trail floor. Thousand Styles accepts. Their is no way his twenty man squad can loss

The squad stand behind SKY Ocean Hunter as the system says, “Three! Two! One! Fight!!!”
