”I want the staff.” The moment the kind people who gave them stuff were gone, the elemental mage spoke up. ”Didn’t you already swipe the loot from that asshole earlier?” the shadow assassin said with an accusatory tone, adding on. ”Also, could I perhaps see that mask one more time?” ”The guy didn’t have much, man, just a big fucking rock collection. Shiny rocks, sure, but ya ain’t gonna take an old man’s rocks, are ya?” the elemental mage guilt-tripped the rogue. ”Unless ya…-

The dark ball of mist hung above the valley with mana swirling around it in a spiral. Bolts of arcane mana were condensed by the dozen every single second, falling on the many people around the valley as they tried to attack the person hidden by the mist. Jake, who stood within, had his aim set. Arcane Powershot had been charged to the maximum, and the three bolts hanging above him ready. He released the three bolts down towards the healer and leader of the ambush, these three far more powerful than those…

While Jake was the first to notice what was happening, everyone naturally became aware when a huge magic barrier surrounded them, and people suddenly appeared on all sides. ”What the fuck?” the elemental mage asked as he readied himself. Jake’s first course of action was not to answer but took a step towards where the cube had been as he quickly swiped all the loot. This did earn him a few glances, but he was happy to see there was nothing accusatory in them from the rogue, the assassin, or the…

The valley looked near-unrecognizable from what it had only a bit less than a day ago. Several ice cubes were spread throughout, a few models of stone were carved, and the environment changed with many symbols arranged into potential magic circles carved onto the ground. ”Ya can’t fucking do that; it fucks over the fourth side,” the ice and fire mage commented. ”Not if we turn it in this way, then the circle will be restored again,” the shadow assassin countered as he manipulated the large…

Four people stood starring at the massive cube. The bearded man had truly just taken off, not bothering to stay and try to solve it. The earth mage, the rogue, the gunman, and Jake were the only ones left, and from the looks of it, the gunman and rogue were also close to leaving. Jake wasn’t sure if the earth mage actually had a clue about the puzzle or if he was just staying out of pride. The puzzle itself was very much a Rubik’s Cube, but not the kind with colors or easy symbols. There weren’t…

The second phase of the Treasure Hunt started out as a mad dash for the closest Vaults. The Risen had a headstart and had already located and mapped out the location of several before the phase began and had looted everything in and around these Vaults. Other factions simply rushed for them. For most, it would be a half-a-day journey or more to the closest Vault and included much combat and challenges along the way, making it potentially take even longer. One had to remember that someone like Jake had a…

With the wand in his inventory, he moved on to some of the other stuff. The next item of interest was a white crown sitting on top of a pillow. The crown had a relatively simple design and was made out of some kind of white metal, reminding him a bit of white gold. In the center of the crown was a small red gem that looked to almost be glowing. It also gave off an impressive aura, reminding him a bit of the Nalkar vampires, and it became clear why upon identifying it. He also wasn’t going to ask about…

Treants, oh treants. It was a creature type that was present in so many video games, fiction, and general fantasy. No doubt humans from ages past had seen trees and wondered: “what if that massive fucking tree could walk around and smash stuff?” and just let their imagination take things from there. Yet when Jake finally got to meet them, he got some scuffed broken versions that were far closer to elementals than actual trees. He felt cheated and betrayed that they even kept the treant-tag. They…

Casper flew towards the island with the Vault on, the curse energy revolving around him as he soared through the unstable space. The cause of the disturbance in the natural balance of space was naturally the world having been partly broken by the curse, but also due to the battles that had taken place within. Many high-level beings, including A-grades and possibly even S-grades, had fought within the world known as Yalsten, and such battles rarely left the area unbroken. Yet space also had a natural…

Jake and everyone else in the Treasure Hunt all got the notification at the same time. He was a bit surprised at the system just spelling things out like that, but perhaps that was a part of the rewards for clearing the first phase? Or maybe it was to get everyone up to speed, as it assumed most of the influential forces who had hunted down Counts knew this already. Jake also wasn’t sure if that crystal tower could be called the “greatest treasure” either, so he felt pretty damn lied to. Well,…
