  • by John Williams  The rewards for clearing stage4 were bountiful indeed.  It wasn't just a single treasure that they got for clearing the stage, but a room full of it.  There were layers and layers of neatly stacked gold ingots with each ingot being as big as one of Sebastian's leg.  A quick estimation by Severus put the value of one ingot to roughly 50,000 gold coins and there were at least 1 million such ingots, putting the value of just the gold alone at 50 billion gold coins.  Apart from that, there were…
  • by John Williams  ( Felix Aurelius's POV )  Felix much like Lucius barely cleared the riddle stage with his life.  All four of his companions died within the riddle stage and he barely escaped with his life because of the life-saving treasures he had on his body given by Regus.  " This is it, this is as far as I go in this dungeon.  I've cleared two stages and got two tier8 shards alongside some other loot.  If I'm struggling so much, there is no way Lucius is going to fare any better.  I'm not going to…
  • by John Williams  The rewards for clearing stage 3 were far higher than what Max or Lucius could have ever imagined.  Instead of a shard of life, an object that could even make monarch's fight, they found a chrono gem, an artefact of the legends, a piece that could even buy one entire lordship.  ( Tier9 ) ( Divine) - A gem that reveals one's true deepest desire and shows a path towards achieving it.  It only has 3 uses before the gem goes opaque, and each use must be done via carefully placing the gem against…
  • by John Williams  Max's eyes darted frantically from one friend to another, all bound by the blood chains he'd conjured. His gaze finally settled on Lucius, whose eyes still shimmered with a violent haze.  This was the perfect chance for Max to kill Lucius if he really wanted, as even if he was interrogated about it later he could blame Lucius's death on the illusion and say that he was trying to rip his throat off.  If he really wanted to, he could have killed Lucius a hundred times by now and had no need to lead…
  • by John Williams  As Max and Lucius emerged from their respective passageways into a grand chamber that glowed with a mystical aura the reward for clearing the second level seemed to be awaiting them.  At its centre lay two pedestals, each holding a Shard of Life. One was a radiant Tier 9 shard, and the other a less dazzling but still significant Tier 7 shard. "I believe you should have this one," Max said, pointing towards the Tier 7 shard as he himself confidently walked ahead and picked up the tier9…
  • by John Williams  As Max and the others exited the fight arena, their eyes feasted upon a bright green shard that emanated insane amounts of vitality.  " THAT'S IT! THAT'S THE SHARD OF LIFE " One of Lucius's men said as he couldn't hold his calm looking at the legendary treasure.  A shard of life was an important treasure whose value could not be measured by money.  A tier 7 shard of life could add 50 years of youth to a mortal.  A tier 8 shard could add 500 years.  A tier 9 shard could add 2000…
  • by John Williams The labyrinth was an interesting place to say the least.  It had 8 major entrances at the very start and there were many who were hesitant in choosing which of the 8 doors to enter from.  Some left it to luck and jumped in randomly, while others looked for some profound clue in the surroundings which would point towards the correct door.  To Max, the imagination of these people was fascinating.  He overheard a group debating as to if entrance number 5 was the correct door to enter from since it was…
  • by John Williams  Once all the clans had gathered outside the enigmatic and mythical dungeon, the atmosphere thick with anticipation, it was soon time for the long-awaited dungeon event to finally kick off.  Right as the 3-year countdown since its last mysterious opening reached its climax, the dungeon entrance surged with an electrifying power. An unstable, magical portal materialised within the solid, ancient ice walls of the glacier that everyone had gathered on.  The swirling, almost hypnotic energy of the…
  • by John Williams  ( A few days later, The day of the dungeon event )  For Max, the few days after his wedding flew in a breeze. He had lots of work pending, however, for every second that he was not working, he spent time with Asiva like only newly weds would do, enjoying the finer luxuries in life. He buffed up the security around the palace tenfold, bringing some of their best tier5 fighters from the army and stationing them as palace security staff.  He also made sure that if Asiva were to move to any location…
  • by John Williams  As Rudra returned from giving a brief moment of presence at Max's wedding, he couldn't help but sigh in nostalgia.  He could still vividly remember the day when the family of four still lived on Earth and it was Rudra who was supposed to have his first wedding.  Papa and Mama Rajput would joke about how getting some action was difficult for Rudra, however, the young chubby Max was a ladies man.  Mama Rajput was sure that Max was going to grow up and become a Playboy who drove expensive cars and…
