Chapter 125: Enter The Trials Frostherus

A thousand years ago when the age of magi craft arts, was at its finest age, would slowly fall to become another victim known as death by mana illnesses. Many would die from the plague, and once infected the player will be subjected to endure countless struggles, having their mana circuits torn apart

Until their bodies deteriorate and explode, leaving not a single part of their body to be seen. A sad fate of the people that lived within this age, was now the great labyrinth. How did they survive for so long? Typical as long as they acquire a powerful treasure and applied tons of mana in a single day a Trial will form and thus they were spared from the fate that took the other races from their time

Leaving them the only surviving race to hold onto hope until this very important day has arrived

[System: Frostherus race has been added as a player, the system has now injected its influence within the Frost guard]

A day had passed and yet countless players were now within the reach of the true biome on the ancient ruins. A place filled with ice along with a new surprising message about a long-forgotten race that was said to be extinct, accompanied by their newly gained ability to access the system. They became the talk of the town while the surroundings were affected, a great example was the temperature that weakened over time

“Thank you so much for reporting our discovery to the system with haste. Now that we’re able to level up the ones that weren’t able to augment their body can now grow,” The Elder was overjoyed by the news that he received while he browses the library located at the back of his room

[All this time they were using augmentation within their bodies? That explains how they’re able to fight you even though they haven’t leveled up ever since]

“More importantly have you forgotten about our deal? I think I’ve done what I promised,” Apart from the tokens that were placed on his side of the table he even personally handed him a scroll. That contains the following for one to acquire the function of augmentation

[Guide to the world of augmenting – A book that contains a step by step instructions to achieve the ability to augment one’s body

Item: Book

Rarity: Epic

Price: 50,000 tokens]

“I never thought I’d give you our race’s greatest accomplishments that were recorded within the system, I would’ve loved if I could give you the manual to learn magic craft arts. Due to the fact that you’ve been helping us even before the arrival of these players, I heard that forsaken one that’s been a victim to the curse he inherited was walking happily around the street. Im sorry if this isn’t enough for the saint-like person that you are, it’s that when the monsters that attacked our neighboring shelter that contains the only copy of the book,” The Elder bowed to his front after he wasn’t able to reward him that was comparable with his feat

’I already took a lot of things from this city, for them these tokens are useless but they have a higher price than what they could imagine. Plus the sealing of Gaust’s curse was only a job that a parent must be obligated to do, considering that I haven’t found an ice attribute spell I’ll just ask for that so we can make it quits,’

“Please elder stand up, what you gave me is already enough but may I request for you to give me a book or spell relating to ice? I happen to have a hard time finding most of it in the library due to it being mixed with a bunch of fairy tales (That I enjoyed reading),” With haste, the elder browse his library for any book that contains any spells related to his request

[I can’t believe that you’ve got a ton of things without even having to do anything. You just beat up a cursed player… Whatever it’s like they see you as a saint or something]

“Im not pretending to be one I am one, knowledgeable, kind-hearted even forgiving did you see me kill the ones that fired a bolt of arrows on me?” He exited the elder’s room and opened the door that showed a lot of players that roamed the village. That was once deserted and quiet the thing that he can’t bring back to the world once the players heard of the true biome hidden within the ancient ruins

’By now I think Gaust is being accompanied by Morgan and the two cats that were clinging to her side, it’s not a bad idea grouping those four together. Morgan is underdeveloped compared to the two, she needs to earn a lot of experience points that also apply to Gaust even though he used augmentation to maintain his body. He needs to level up as soon as possible there’s only so much time for the story quest to start, we have some time left before it’s officially opened. However, we can activate it earlier than anyone would predict using the trigger they found within their investigations,’

Beneath his pocket lies the key for one to enter the story quest without heeding the words of the system. In the appearance of a key, this trigger was dropped by the monsters that carried the cages filled with countless Frostherian races that were sent to the castle. Unknown of their fate the ones that were able to escape only told the things they saw a pack of monsters that were coordinated like a bunch of players. The monster was knowledgeable in both tactics and strategy even forming a blockade that caught most of the people that were able to flee

[Frostguard Keystone – A keystone that’s able to open the large durable ice gate that was said to be unbreakable. Home to the relic that formed this whole trial that originated from the mana of the frostherus race it rises once more and was even thought about being its savior. Until a horde of monsters would one day come to their homes and kill those that would resist and cage the ones that were seen as a useful tools, dragged back to the castle without knowing of their fate to come]

[Story quest: The travelers from a different era found that there are a few mysterious races that were alive and well. With their families and communities, they bowed to aid the foreign travelers to battle that would lead them to the unbreakable ice fat that was later known to open once 15 days and nights have passed

Requirements: This is only the prologue of the story quest the players are given a few days to prepare for the worse to come. Before they enter the ice gate that would lead them to the first floor of the gigantic ice kingdom

Days left: 14]

“I wonder what kind of mystery I’ll find within that place,” He took a stroll around the crowded village after he saw his mysterious system react to the message that was given by the GM a while ago

([Rewrite system: Abnormality detected

Location: The Frostguard kingdom

Risk: No information is provided, not a single clue what type of monsters resides within the area, concluding it to be life threatening])

’Life-threatening huh? For now, let’s enjoy my time before it comes down to a horrible crisis give me your best shot. I fought a mad scientist before I came here and I came out the winner so make sure to try your best at killing me,’

Unbeknownst to him, there was a crisis arising after waking up from its deep and tiring slumber, that was a mystery to the monsters that reside within its walls. A figure would come to prepare for its movement to come when the doors that locked this entity has been destroyed. And his wrath would engulf the world once more until none of the race that was called to the world would remain in the realms of the living

“Hahahahaha rejoice for I have finally returned… What’s this? The candidate is near..? Hahahahahahaha truly what a wonderful time to awaken from my slumber… How will you fair to my power, the one that seeks the mysteries within this place… The candidate is known by his title as the seeker of truth,”
