War Online

"Huh, your mobile phone?"

As Silver looked at Wil in confusion, Aster asked, "aren't you the one who sent that message to Young Master? Wait a second. That's right, you can't send..."

Before Aster spoke further, Wil interrupted him, "it must be Dad. Let's not think too much."

"But, earlier, we tracked the mobile phone. It is in the plane for sure…"

"Aster…" Wil frowned, "let's go."

Looking at an unpleasant expression on Wil, Aster shut his mouth and nodded.

As they continued to walk, Cericia asked, "What happened, Wil? What's with the mobile phone and a message?"

Wil glanced at the middle-aged man who was maintaining his composure, "it's nothing, just a small matter. By the way, Dad said this is your first time visiting this city…"

***

After reaching his apartments, first, they proceeded to the 9th floor, which was temporarily arranged by the boys for the guests.

After spending half an hour with them, in which most of the time, Walter was bragging about how great her daughter is in her studies and martial arts.

Wil looked at the time, "it's almost four o'clock. You both take rest," and excused himself.

After sending away Aster, Wil went to his flat and threw away the vase in anger, "I'm sure that police chief is the one who sent me the death threat. And just what's with that girl getting all friendly for… phew… cool down bro… Her father must be forcing her.

There are only 25 minutes left to sunrise. I need to log in.

Now, what to do with this father and daughter? He said they'll be touring around the city and expects me to tag along with them.

Sigh… I guess I have no time to waste on leveling."

Wil then quickly took out his mobile phone and called Aster.

"Young Master?"

"Aster, if I remember correctly, you are currently living alone, right?"

"Yes. My son is currently living with his maternal grandparents."

Upon hearing it, Wil sighed in relief, "good, then. I need a favor from you. Use my credit card and buy another A-grade capsule and install it in your house.

For the next week, you use that capsule while I use yours during the morning hours."

Even though Aster didn't know what's going on, he accepted his young master's orders without any question. After all, for him, whether it's an S–grade capsule or D-grade, It isn't worth the command of Wil.

One can say that those who work in Mafia are more loyal to their profession and boss than guys who work in other professions. 

Meanwhile, Wil continued, "And until our guests leave, I'll be in college until 12:30 p.m., understood?"

Only then, Aster understood what's going on. "Yes, shall I pick you up, right now?"

Wil replied, "As fast as you can. There's not much time till sunrise in the game. I have a very important thing to do that can completely establish our authority in the East Ocean city."

Disconnecting the call, Wil walked to the capsule and pressed a button on the right side of it.

After scanning his fingerprints and eyes, the capsule ejected a Metallic Chip, which is in the size of a credit card.

Inserting the metallic chip in Aster's S–grade capsule after removing the existing one, Wil stepped inside the capsule and logged in after confirming with his DNA.

*Welcome to War Online*

As Wil logged in, he found himself at the same spot in the cave where Garvin is found awake and the rest of the four are found sleeping.

Suddenly, as the others opened their eyes and grabbed the weapons in alert, Garvin spoke, "don't worry. It's our otherworlder friend."

According to NPCs, the players are immortals from the otherworld and were summoned by their god/creator to clear the dungeons as they can't enter them.

For some reason, they never had the thought of wanting to know about the real world nor do they care about it.

It confused many players but Wil knew that Aria, the world's most advanced A.I. was the one who deleted such thoughts from them.

"You are quick, Time Traveler," commented Gervas.

Wil smiled as he looked away at the sky, "the sun is going to rise at any time. We shall not waste any time."

As soon as the sun rose from behind the mountains, Wil looked at the mountain range from far away and pointed the tallest one, "that is our destination. Let's go."

The party of five left the cave and started walking down the hill and continued towards their destination while massacring the common grade mobs in the midway and avoiding elite mobs to save time.

Five hours later;

*Ding. You leveled up.

*Ding. Congratulations, you reached level-150. 

*Ding. You received a new skill.

Multiple Lightning Arrows Lv 1: Shoot the enemies with an arrow infused with lighting element with a 150% attack while ignoring their defense. CD: 20 minutes. Cost: 50 Mana.

Looking at the details, Wil frowned for a second as the attack doesn't seem stronger and yet has a very high cooldown and cost.

"Hmm, it says multiple arrows. So, I guess the number of arrows will increase after increasing the level?

After investing 5 into Heavenly push, I only have 5 skill points left now. Should I invest everything into it? Nah, let's wait until level 3 and then decide about it. On, the other hand, now that I'm level-150, I guess, the leveling becomes harder once again." 

He glanced at the exp bar, which showed 23562/9060000.

Meanwhile, all the eight cities including the capital are in an uproar as the Kingdom rankings were refreshed while the majority of the East Ocean City players rejoiced as they occupied the top 3 spots in the top 10 and grabbed 26 spots in the top 100. 

Llyne Kingdom Rankings:

1) Time Traveler – Level 150

2) Snow Dew – Level 116

3) Martial Spartan – Level 113

4) Starlight – Level 113

5) Flame Emperor - Level 112

6) Sonicmaster – Level 110

7) Terabyte – Level 110

8) Leviya – Level 109

9) Oraimo – Level 109

10) Voidwalker – Level 108 

Using this opportunity, Mountain Rock decided to open a branch of Silvershapers guild in all the cities now that it is a level-3 guild and currently monopolizing all the non-combat professions in the East Ocean City.

On the other hand, while many adventurers wanted to apply for the Scarlet guild, Aster followed Wil's order and remained closed for applications even though he wanted to let those high-level players in.

After all, with 11 more members decided to shift to life profession because of potential profits and little to no-risk, the original guild was left with only 35 members.

The only problem now was that there were no plots available in East Ocean city to buy and build even a store to sell their products much less a smithy, lab, kitchen, etc… to train.

So, they have no choice but to train and sell in NPC ones while paying fees.

At least, Blacksmiths were in a better situation as they can sell their items through Snow Dew's weapons store.

They have no idea that more than 80% of those lands were brought by their boss.

Back to Eindeilf Mountain range;

The party of five reached the peak of the tallest mountain, Kinslir. As soon as they entered a huge cave that's as large as a Mansion, Wil received a notification.

*You stepped inside a no combat zone. All of your abilities are restricted.

Looking at the huge portal before him, Garvin frowned, "what's the meaning of this, Time Traveler? This is a dungeon. Where is this Hidden realm? Are you trying to fool us?"

Wil shook his head, "I never said this is a Hidden realm. Just like the name, its entrance is also hidden somewhere in this cave. We have to search for it. See if you can any peculiar drawing the walls. That'll be our clue."

"Hmm, if I remember correctly, Bran found the entrance accidentally in Reverie Kingdom's level-200 dungeon cave after he found an Elephant symbol on the walls.

The elephant is the symbol of the Reverie Kingdom. Then, I have to look for a lion with wings symbol."

10 minutes later;

"Damn. There's nothing here. Where is this f****** entrance? Don't tell me it's peculiar to that kingdom.

No, that's impossible.

Until the kingdoms connected, everything that's here will also be found in other kingdoms except for landscapes. If I'm right, every kingdom must have one light fragment. 

Moreover, I gambled quite a lot on this. I can't return empty-handed. I just need to…"

Just then, Renart shouted, "I found it. There's a symbol of our kingdom here."

Upon hearing it, Wil immediately ran toward him and saw he was pointing his finger at the ceiling.

On the ceiling, there's a huge drawing of an angry Lion that seemed like it's flapping its wings to fly.

*Ding. Congratulations, you found the entrance to the Realm of Light. You received 1000 fame as a reward. 

A smile appeared on Wil as he spoke with excitement, "yes, this is it."

Then, Garvin asked, "If this is the entrance, then how do we enter the hidden realm through it?"

Garvin then replied, "Most Hidden entrances are normally activated on touch. But, the biggest question is how do we even reach it to open the realm? It's not like we can jump that high nor have wings to fly."

Suddenly, all of them turned their heads towards Wil. 

Wil's smile became stiff as he stared at the ceiling that's 10 meters away. Neither his wings are working nor can he use his skills.
