The Strongest Wizard

A Walk In The Park, My Sweet Humpy Ass, You Freaks...!!!

26th December 1018 / 2018 1630hrs

After getting what I needed back in the City from various merchants, I distributed the various healing and mana potions to the rest of the team. They were sceptical at the thought of me buying them those valuable potions, but I insisted that they need those when it comes to dungeon diving. The party members had no other choice but to accept the healing and mana potions that I had distributed.

There was this item that I had bought specially for this dungeon that we would be diving pretty soon. It was an incendiary thunder flash, and even if it is at its lowest value and potency, it would be able to knock out the BOSS within the dungeon. I do not wish to reveal much to the party members since they would back out immediately when I told them about the HP of the BOSS. I bought a dozen of the incendiary thunder flash, and I would be the one deploying it since it costs quite a substantial amount of credits.

"What is that thing for?" Snowball asked when he saw me putting them into my spatial storage space after I allocate a quick key to deploy it later.

"Oh, it is just something that would ease us defeating the BOSS inside the dungeon. Don't worry guys, as long as you hear to my commands, everything would go according to plan."

Everyone was ready, and with their pathetic weapons and armour, we teleported out using the City's portal to our designated location for a mere handful of credits.

"f**k this shit...! I had been at this for the 5th time, and we have not even met the f*****g BOSS...! How are we going to make the first clear of this dungeon anyways?" a Guardian from the Grim Company grumbled the moment he materialises within the respawn point. Within a few short moments, the rest of the party appeared, which indicated a team wipe...!

"Yo, Leader...! We cannot keep on doing this, you know. We had lost EXP as well as the durability of our weapons and equipment diminishes every round. If we keep this up longer than we should, we would be naked by the time we got team wiped..." one of the Assassin spoke up as he caressed the twin dagger that he had recently bought.

"You can keep on going in and out of this dungeon, and your Bronze breastplate would not be battered in any way. But how about the rest of us? We are clothed only in cloth armour, my man...!" one of the Necromancer quipped as he inspected his tattered robe as a few more hits would turn the robe into a rag.

'DirtyBastard', the leader of the Grim Company guffawed out loud and spoke mightily, "Only the fittest would fit to be a member of the Grim Company! If you think you are not strong enough, go and look for a weaker team. Grim Company is here to stay and would make the first clear of the Normal Mode of this pathetic dungeon...! Anyone who agrees with me, form up and we will enter this dungeon after a short break...!!!"

=*=

We had just entered the portal and was standing by the sides as we looked at the rowdy commotion and wondered what it was all about.

"What a small fry...! His mother must have regretted giving birth to a retard such as him...! Why take things to heart and too seriously."

"Even if we regard this as a game, at least there should be a limit to long term friendship, am I right? We are all here to earn some credits and to make a living, but this is not the way, I am sure of it. Don't you agree with me, guys?" I spoke up since this may be the first time the party members were shocked by just looking at the hundreds of players gathering there. The maximum number of gamers to enter an instance within the dungeon is 12 at one time. There were lots of players hollering to collaborate as many players as they could before they got into the dungeon.

"Party of 7 waiting for 5. Tanks needed urgently."

"Party of 9 waiting for 3. Healers, please stay away...!"

"Party of 1 waiting for friendly people. All are welcome...!"

I looked at them and wondered how pathetic I had been when I first started. Dungeon diving is one of the best ways to get hold of the dedicated gamers that would stick with you through thick or thin no matter how hard the journey would be.

A lot of gamers lose out in this manner and fortunately for me, I do have the 7 with me and plus me as the mastermind, there is no need for us to look for more players.

Since I had unmasked my ID, for the time being, I had no choice but to choose and enter the dungeon as is. The leader of the Grim Company was giving us the eye as we were all clad in our lowest form of weapons and armour. Furthermore, when they saw a Level 0 Wizard walking amid the rest of the Level 5 players, they were sneering at us, and were thinking that we would be better off hunting some low-level monsters rather than risking ourselves inside the dungeon.

"Come this way and ignore the others." I nudged Snowball, and he motioned to the rest of the party members as they proceeded down to the entrance of the dungeon.

There was only one dungeon entrance, and there were 3 modes to choose from. One is Normal Mode with 100% difficulty. Another is Hard Mode with 150% difficulty and the last one, would be Hell Mode with 300% difficulty. In other words, those entering Normal Mode would face 3x as more monsters, loot, spoils and bounty if they faced the Hell Mode.

AND THAT IS WHERE WE ARE HEADING...!

When I chose HELL MODE, the eyes of the party member bulged wide and thought that I had pressed the wrong one. "No, of course not. All the layout inside the three modes is similar. The only difference is the number of beasts inside and the number of loot we can gather. We will divide the loot once we have exited from here."

WHAT THE HELL...!!! We have not entered this dungeon, and yet this Wizard girl in front of us was talking about splitting the loot when we exit...! How f*****g confident is that...?!?!?

It is too late now. I had entered the name of a workshop called SilverBane and had registered everyone as part of the team that would enter the dungeon soon.

At this time, I could see the disappointment in everyone's faces as I led the party members in as a group.

=*=

"Whatever you do, listen to me carefully and execute the command. Do not do more and do not do less. Think about others rather than your own skin and we will pull through this."

"Hey...! I am a BETA TESTER, and you do not believe me? Well, we will wait until we clear this dungeon, alright?"

"One more thing, do not pull your plug out, switch off your VR Gaming Set or do any kind of nonsense unless you want to have your ID and IP banned from this server."

"Even if you make another account, your DNA would be traced back to you, and you will be banned. If you are here to make a living, then listen to what I said, alright?"

The party member could only nod their head as they listened to me as I preached to them right before we materialise in front of the dungeon.

"YEAH...HELL MODE...!!! COME GET SOME...!!!" I hollered out my usual prayers as I entered the dungeon and appeared at a place that was brightly lit with a winding path in front of us and had flowering beds on the sides.

The party members had never imagined being in this kind of dungeon and were surprised to find that it was like a walk in the park.

WALK IN THE PARK MY SWEET TIGHT ASS...!!! WATCH OUT FOR THE HONEY BEES...!!!
