"Leah what are you doing here" I ask."Leah so you know this filth" the blood elf says casually. "Yes I met him once he was disguised and I wasn't as strong as I am now so I let him go" Lea replies. "That lying elf" Tusker says in my mind with his rage showing clearly in the tone of his voice. "So you are just going to sell me out like that" I say calmly. "Yes for a hundred million I will sell even my mother" Leah says as she draws her sword.

"Let's do this" I say to my dragon partner."Try not to die" he replies as a dragon made entirely of fire appears beside me and charges at the blood elf. Meanwhile the two elves at the city gate begin running at me.

The first elf swings his sword in a straight line from above. Side stepping the strike I thrust my sword into his chest using his body as a shield to block the second elf that shoots a spike made of ice at me. "Into mud" I whisper as I push the now dead elf off my sword. The sudden change of the solid ground into mud disrupts whatever spell the elf was preparing giving me the split second I need to throw my sword at her.

The thrown sword is dodged by the elf as she rolled in the mud. The moment she gets up I am hit with a barrage of ice spikes. "Earth wall" I yell quickly creating a wall to block the spells .that's until the wall explodes into pieces. "damn elf" I whisper as now my opponent has switched to fire spells.

Running in a zigzag pattern I manage to evade the incoming fireballs that have the size of a small shield. With no sword equipped I need to distract the elf for some time so I summon an earth golem that looks like a snake. "Attack the elf" I order as soon as it materializes.

Quickly I equip a sword with I stab into the ground then I equip a bow and a quiver filled with arrows. While the elf is distracted with the snake summon I empty the quiver shooting at her.

Most of the arrows hit the snake and fall to the ground but three of the arrows reach their target leaving the elf with two arrows in the chest and one in the leg. Grabbing my sword I flash over to where the elf is still trying to battle with the snake and behead her in one strike.

"Nice and clean" I mutter as the head rolls on the ground. Looking at Tuskers fight I see there are players and npcs have joined the fight against him. Inhaling i know at any time Tusker can disappear and enter me so I make my way to the gate only for the arch of the gate to collapse. "You have to be kidding me" I shout in anger.

"you didn't think I would let you go after all the stress I went through to find you now did you" the voice of the blood elf echoes around me."Michael run" Tuskers voice yells in my mind as Leah equips a freaking bazooka and points it at me.

Seeing the monstrosity I flash all around the place as she shoots missiles at me barely missing .ROAR the sound of Tusker growling in pain fills the area as I watch his temporary form being pierced by hundred of ice spikes.

"The human is mine" the blood elf yells out as Tuskers form disappears and I hear a faint voice in my head saying "I am sorry" .Rage at Tuskers clouds my mind as I yell "age of destruction heed the call of your servant and bring forth your darkness to consume my enemies take this offering as my tribute to you oh holy one".

At the end of the spell the clouds that were clear seconds ago turn dark and after five seconds the cloud covers the whole city of Erin releasing lightning bolts into the streets of the city killing players and npcs by the dozens. "Wow so you can use black magic" the blood elf says without a hint of fear in her voice at the power of my strongest spell.

The spell I am using makes me feel stronger at the cost of all my mana and even the book where I saw t cautioned against using the spell as it also draws the life force of the caster but right now I only care about killing the blood elf and Leah who stands next to her in the chaos my spell creates.

Flashing towards Leah at twice my normal speed I appear behind her with my swing already in motion. Clang the sound of swords clashing resonates in my ears as I watch the force of my swing push Leah into a wall creating a human sized in print in the wall she crashes into. "Good but can you keep up with me" a voice says behind me as I and grabbed and slammed into the ground making a small crater.

I ignore the pain that spreads around my back and open my mouth releasing a large burst of fire at the elf that is standing over my body. Jumping away from me she manages to avoid most of the flames although her armor is now in looking worse for wear.

Standing up I am about to charge at the blood elf when I feel a pin prick on my left shoulder. Turning my head I see a sword going through the shoulder and the wielder of the sword is a Leah that has definitely seen better days with part of her eye swollen shut and blood dripping from her mouth.

"Leave me alone you insect" I roar as I swipe a hand coated in lightning effectively beheading Leah and cauterizing the wound on her neck. "You will pay for killing her" the blood elf screams at me. Smiling at her I charge at her only for her to disappear. "Where did she go" I think out loud.

"nowhere and everywhere" a voice says as I feel my body being cut at different angles with a speed my enhanced body can never hope to reach for now. With a roar that I would later find out that sounds like a dragon I release a large amount of lightning in every direction and me as the center of the blast.

Ah! The sound of someone screaming in pain clues me in on the opponent's location and I unleash a large gush of electrified water in that direction forcing the blood elf to appear. Looking at the elf that had seemed so confident some seconds ago I laugh out loud at the sight of her trembling on the ground.

Walking to her I stand over the body and raise my fist in the air gathering all the available mana from Tusker I coat the fist in fire and lightning a sure kill for most monsters and punch a hole through the remaining armor creating a small mushroom cloud.

When the dust clears I see only splatters of blood from my punch in the large crater. Looking around I notice more than half of the city is now in ruins. Taking a step I make my way out of the crater coughing out large amounts of blood that I clean with the rag that was the clothes I was wearing before the fight.

"Halt in the name of the king, move another step and you shall be attacked" a voice yells before I make my way out of the crater. Raising my head I see that the crater is now surrounded by elves in robes and armor. Ignoring the voice I continue walking only for the sight of arrows, spells of different colors and sizes coming at me.

"Oh shit" I think to myself as my vision goes dark and a white screen appears in front of me.

"You are dead; you can log in 24 hours from now at your last safe zone".

After five seconds in the dark I am forcefully logged out and the sight of my bed room greets me in the real world.

Michael

24 hours of not being able to log in, what do these guys expect me to do during this time I think to myself? "Might as well check the game forums" I mutter as I sit at my reading table and open the game forum.

There was news about a subjugation of orcs in the human lands, guess the monsters ate someone important. Also there was news of a civil war in the dwarf continent while in the elf lands there was a war going on between two kingdoms over territory.

After a page a comment caught my attention 'check out this cool fight' the post had a link and already had half a million views .clicking on the link I am redirected to a third person view of my fight with the elves .

It seemed a player around the gates had filmed the fight from when I charged the first set of elves until when I was killed .most of the comments were from people asking who I was and if I could join their guild.

"Yeah right join a guild and get stabbed in the back again" I think out loud .it would e better to hang around npcs though they also want my head now more than ever after killing their icon.

That's when it hit me, the dragons had told me to meet with the lizard men as they the dragons were like gods unto the less evolved lizard man monster.

Now to find where these lizards are, I think. Going back to the game forum I click on the search button and look for any posts about lizard men. Fifty results came out twenty of them were about successful subjugations in the elf continent 'seems like the elf hate for dragons split over' I chuckle as I read it.

ten are in the dwarf continent while twenty are in the human continent and the remaining ten were about the locations of the few known lizard villages with raids planned on two of them this week.

Finally I can log back in after wasting precious time wearing my gear I quickly log in and find myself in a familiar cave .just like when I slept that zombie girl and her sister. Quickly I check my status to see if there is any change from dying and there isn't although my level only increase by one so I think if they had killed me before I finished off the blood elf I might have lost levels but instead the levels I gained were just taken back.

"Thank the gods you are back" a voice echoes in my head."Tusker your alive" I say with a smile showing on my face. "Of course I am alive, that is until you die the third time and we leave this world for good" he replies in a dry tone.

"Good it's time to visit the lizard men in the human continent" I say as I open my inventory and see I am thirty gold coins and some weapons poorer than before I died. "Is that a good idea because I don't think the humans probably haven't forgotten your adventures over there" Tusker says with concern."Don't worry as long as I don't face anybody stronger than the blood elf in a city where they can have reinforcements I will be fine, probably, most likely" I reply with a shrug and make my way to the entrance of the cave.

Opening my map I see that the port I can in is now showing along with Erin and that god forsaken field .Boosting my legs I race until I don't have any mana which takes six hours, six hours of watching the landscape pass by and occasionally blasting people out of my way on the road.

With a short rest of thirty minutes I am able to continue the journey and after a total of ten hours of running I reach the port city .cutting my mana I make my way to the ship harbor where there are elves off loading cargo and some loading fresh cargo into a ship."I want to buy a travel ticket to the human continent" I tell the first elf I meet. "you're in luck this ship is leaving to that destination in the next four hours all you have to do is pay me ten gold coins for your ticket" the elf replies.

"Ok, just know if you try to do any funny business you will die" I reply as I open the pouch at my waist. "Ah well you see I am just one of the people loading if its travelling with the ship you want then it's the captain you will be needing to speak with" the elf stammers.

"And how do I know who is the captain" I ask."It's a female elf blonde hair with a scar on her face so, check the ship she should be on board" he answers. "It's nice talking with you" I tell the elf leaving him to continue his work.

"let's see this captain" I say to Tusker .climbing aboard the ship is see a lot of rough looking elves running around the ship doing things I think are preparation for the voyage. There is an elf which matches the description I was given and I walk to her whilst dodging all the running elves."What do you want" she yells at me.

"I heard this ship is heading to the human continent, I want to pay you to take me there" I answer. "Sorry but we only carry cargo and I don't want any filthy human on my ship" she sneers at me.

Hearing this I sigh "have you heard what happened to Erin and about the death of the Blood Rose" I ask?"Yeah so what" she asks with a huff of annoyance. "That was my work" I tell the elf. "Now I could kill you and leave this place before people even notice so I am using your ship regardless of it's a merchant ship or a pirate ship".

"In that case welcome to my ship the journey should last about two weeks as we stop at some islands to resupply and sell some things" she says to me."Hook, I want you to lead this man to one of the fancy rooms or better yet give him my room I will use the fancy room" she yells out and an elf walks up to us. "Please follow me to your room" he says.

Following Hook I am led to a room with some decorations on the wall and a fluffy looking bed."I will be transferring her things" Hook says once I sit on the bed. With two boxes are pulled from the cupboard where I spy black clothes hanging. After ten minutes the boxes are taken away and before I can close the door a hand holds the door from closing totally.

Opening the door I see the captain standing there, "may I know your name" she asks as she stands at the door probably out of fear."I didn't get your and isn't it custom to give your name first before ask the other person" I retort. "ok my name is June" she replies."I am called Michael" I say as I try to close the door again. "If you need any company I can be of service" she says lick her lips in what is supposed to be a seductive act. "Sorry but I don't do Npcs" I say as I slam the door narrowly avoiding her fingers.

Once I am certain she won't knock on the door I move to the bed sitting on it in a stance I saw a Buddha statue in online and begin to meditate.

After what feels like mutes I find myself above of a small town with what looks like an even share of stone and wooden houses.

"Welcome to residence of your mana" a voice says beside me. Turning to the voice I see a dragon identical to Tusker except now he doesn't have wounds all over. "Yes I am tusker and this town is the spiritual representation of how large your mana pool currently is" the dragon says.

"So what am I doing here" I ask nervously.

"You are here to evolve" he replies.
