Elemental Warriors Online

Divine Skills

Ben was standing in front of the Adventurer guild with a disappointed expression. It should be more like a drunkard’s guild. Unlike what he had been thinking for the past few hours, this was not a beginner town like he expected, it was more like a beginner city. The very capital of the kingdom.

Spawn points were randomized so Ben at first felt that he was in luck. Until he found out that this city ran on a caste system for the NPC and fame and infamy for the players.

The higher your fame and reputation with the citizens of the city, the closer you can get to the inner district and the more valuable facilities.

Shinokawa city was divided into three sectors, although there were no walls to differentiate it, there was always a contingent of guards posted in check points before every sector. Ben could care less about the politics and policies of this city, he had no intention of staying here. He just needed to get a bit settled before he hit the road.

The city did look good at night though. They actually had electricity, and street lamps and light bulbs. It made Ben wonder what else this world had to offer, maybe there were airships and steam boats. This were the kind of things you would find in a steam punk like reality, it was pretty surreal.

“ What are you standing here for Cassius won’t you go in?”

“just a minute Kabiru I need to check somethings first.” Cassius replied with a patient voice. Like he was talking to a child.

“Okay don’t take too long. We need to complete some missions from the adventurer’s guild before me and Monkey turn in for the night.”

“ yeah I got that, give me five minutes.”

Cassius liked the air headed dragon Rider. But of course that would be mostly because Cassius saw a piece of himself in him. Ok scratch that, there was a lot of him in the guy, the brash one way attitude, loyal to a fault and worship food like it’s the most supreme existence. They were two of a kind; the both of them.

But Cassius rapidly finds himself getting irritated by Kabiru and Monkey's antics. It’s a real puzzle how his father and grandparents raised him when he was this hyperactive. In fact Cassius was sure he was a lot more worse than this.

Friends were good to have in the long run, but Cassius did not really have time to maintain a relationship with anybody. At least until Shedrach comes by and opens up the game studio. Then he could get rid of his planned solo career. But for now, Cassius knew he had to go solo.

Cassius could see that every five levels or so new options would be added to his character menu. His status page looked bulky and filled with a lot of underlying stats governing different things. But what truly threw him for a loop was the defense. If there was no such thing as an HP bar, was there any need to add a defense option.

Be that as it may Cassius was sure that question will answer itself eventually. But for now however Cassius would bother himself with getting stronger. He was not like those hard core gamers who would spend hours, even days trying to figure out the secrets and intricacies of a games system interface. He had no time to waste on such trivialities. But he could check the skills he got from the temple, they seemed a little different than normal

The only thing new here to Cassius was the divine skills. Its own color was even highlighted different from the rest of the other skill tabs. Divine skills had to deal with abilities granted by the Gods of the game.

Till today, Cassius always thought that only people who went the healer route had a chance of acquiring and even using divine skills. Now he had multiple divine skills and the game has not even been online for an entire day. Cassius had no idea how he was doing it, but with all this gains, he wished his luck would never run out. This much gain makes being stuck to the night so worth it anyway.

Cassius was sure if his mouth went any lower he would loose his jaw. This was impossible, was there a bug in the system or something. Was this not too much power for one player to have, not to mention he was the last person you would expect to get this sort of benefit.

Cassius was sorely tempted to run back to the temple of travelers and pray to as many Gods as he could and see what kind of juiced up OP abilities they would offer. But of course that would be wrong. Don’t get it twisted he was no saint, but if he took all the benefits from others, then there would be no one to challenge him, no one to be his rival, no one….Meh who cares.

Cassius was going back to the temple as soon as he was done with the adventurer's guild. Like he said he was no saint, and he needed all the power and help he could get before time runs out for his Grandfather. So what if he was over powered, it would mean it just sucked being any body that was not him.

“ Are you done yet. We need to get going.” Monkey interrupted.

“ yes Monkey; I’m done” Cassius replied back with an angry tone.

All of a sudden a mischievous glint appeared in Cassius's eyes. Kabiru and Monkey felt a cold shiver wander down both their spines as they slowly backed away from Cassius who now had a fanatical look on his face.

“ Cassius? Buddy are you ok. You’re creeping me out you know.”

“ Aye, what he said. So creepy.”

But Cassius did not answer them, how could he; at this point in time a monk would have said that Cassius just experienced enlightenment or nirvana. Everything all fell into place for Cassius.

Ever since Kabiru and Moneky turned up, Cassius had experienced one landfall of luck after the other. This two had turned out to be his good luck charm. Going solo be damned, he was going to make sure this pot of gold and breast milk of lady luck followed him everywhere until he achieve his aim and becomes the most powerful player in the game. ‘Hehehe; I just love it when a plan comes together kekeke'

“ Don’t worry guys. I was just thinking of something funny. Come my good friends. Let us make our presence known in this guild of Adventurers. I see a great many adventure in our future. And we’re going to be together for a very long, looooooong time.” Cassius cryptically commented.

“ Uh okay”

“ creepy vampire.”
