The Ancients World

Now that all I am ready to leave and go to Vedersfall I should go visit Amelia since this is going to be the last time I am around for awhile. She is the one that gave me my divine class, I owe her more than I could describe. Walking around the beautiful city you can tell that it has had an up flow in money since the players are grinding beyond the needs of the NPC's of this world. Lots of stores have opened up and new people are coming and going even during this time of day.

The sun is setting beyond the walls of the city and mountains in the distance. I make my way to the poverty district and see the road that leads to the orphanage. I walk up the road and I knock on the front door. "Just a minute!" I hear her from the other side as kids yell and play. Must be chaos in there. After a few seconds it stops and I hear her come to the door. "Oh! This is a lovely surprise!" She looks to be much happier and seems to be full of energy. I'm glad that I have come here today, looking around I can see this place is in rougher shape than last time I was here.

She invites me in and we sit at the table. "So what have you been up to lately?" Now that the kids have settled down and are in there beds talking to each other, we have time. I wonder if she would be okay with the stories I have to tell. I have been on quite the adventure the last few days.

I contemplate what I should tell her first. Starting at the Plague cave sounds like a good idea. "The day after we meet I went into the wilds to train and get stronger." The NPC's don't understand the concept of experience. That's why they grow cautious of us in a few years from our rapid growth and power. Amelia gives me a look of worry, if it was up to her I would have stayed here with her.

She looks like she is about to say something, but I interrupt her with the continuation of my story. "After going a few miles into the wilds I came across an old cave and fought an undead scholar." As soon as I said that she gets up slamming the table in protest at just the beginning of my story.

She has a serious expression and is preparing a response. "You better have turned back like a good boy...." The way she says that sends chills up and down my spine. Talk about a scary woman. I should just rip the bandage off quick.

After she calms down and I remain silent I continue with my story. "I'm sure you heard some of the updates from the church while I was at the Kingdom of the fairies and the Ancient ruins of the Dryads. Before I took care of those I killed an Elemental in an old house out in the forest." She looks ready to explode. I stop her by raising my hands like you would for the cops. She cools down after that. "After I took care of the Elemental I went to the kingdom of the fairies and fought a Demon Guardian. That was a close call if I have anything to say about it." She gets up and smacks the side of my head.

She looks like she is about to cry and has a quivering lip. "How could you just fight a Demon and joke about almost dying!!" I can see some tears welling up in the corner of her eye's. I think the only reason she doesn't smack me more is because I revived the fairy kingdom with the defeat of the Demon Guardian. "I swear if you did anything else as stupid as that I won't let you leave this house!!" I can easily tell she cares about me a lot. Reminds me of my mother from my world.

I rub the side of my head, I didn't lose any health. It still hurt though, I should just give an abbreviation of the rest of my journey as to not worry her. "Long story short, I went on a big adventure and met a Grandmaster Magician as well as a dragon princess named Nelmorphius. She likes Nelli for short." She heard most of my big accomplishments through the churches announcements. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

Amelia looks like she's ready to hit me again, maybe I should have been more tactful with my explanation. It is getting really late and I want to do one more thing for her. "Here, this is for you to help with anything you need." I take out the gold reward I got from yesterday and give her 3500 gold of the 4000 I got. I won't need this much gold this early in the game. As I say that I get a system notification.

[Amelia is extremely moved my what you have just done]

[Arch-Angel Michael and The Almighty Father are proud of your kind full and selfless act]

I look at Amelia and she is weeping almost as much as my mom did when I told her about the millions we will have. "My sweet boy..." I can feel myself getting choked up as well. This will undoubtedly help with everything she needs to make this a better home. It's more important to me that the ones I care about are taken care of.

She leaps onto me and squeezes the life out of me. I am glad that I can bring happiness to people who really need it. "If you need anything I'll do my best to make it happen." She can go to the local church and pay them to contact me via magic. It works similarly to the mail the players get to use. "Is it alright if I stay here for the night. I'll be heading to Vedersfall tomorrow to continue to get stronger." She finishes hugging me and wipes her tears away.

She smiles and leads me to a room I can sleep in. "Don't forget to say goodbye to me before you leave tomorrow. I want to at least feed you before you head out." She is a great person for these kids to have. They need someone that cares as much as Amelia does.

I lay down on the bed and think about the things I need to do in Vedersfall. I know there is an epic grade trial quest that rewards you based on your performance. I remember all the details from the forums posts and I know for a fact that I will undoubtedly use the reward for a very long time. It will be a long journey to Vedersfall. 3000 square miles and plus another 800 once I am out of the wilds is a big task without a mount. This is just what us players have to deal with till we are high enough levels to purchase a mount.

I know the general path and roads to take, but it would be wise of me to get a map so I don't get lost on accident. 2 days from now the auction house will open world wide and I can sell this guild token. One of the best features of the guild house is that if you pay a flat rate you can auction from anywhere in the world without actually going to the house. I am glad that it keeps the sellers identity hidden and safe. People could probably connect the dots and find out who I am other wise.

I can now use two swords at the same time and they are both great against certain tough enemies. Once I get to Vedersfall I should talk to the Hermit Flint. He has some pretty good unique quests that will help me keep my lead on everyone. Most hardcore players are pushing level 11 and are preparing to leave. Right now they level twice as fast as me thanks to my half exp class debuff. I have an advantage though. I know where a lot of great gear and weapons are for the early levels. My sap armor should last me till 30 or 35, but I should still keep my eye out for good gear that I have no knowledge of.

I think now is a good time to log off and go hang out with my family. I missed dinner tonight, but I do want to spend time with the family that I lost. I won't waste any moment I have with them. I get out of my gaming pod and head to the bathroom and take a shower. I have plans for tomorrow and I should leave that for the tomorrow me. I head downstairs and hang out with my family. Now that I think about it, the post-launch interviews are the same day as the release of the auction house. I wonder how much they are going to talk about it.
