Second World Novel

Bangstick sat on the floor panting. “Goodness! This is the first time we defeated a mythical-grade boss! Even a level 70 at that!” He exclaimed.

“This is the first time we ever see a mythical-grade boss,” Dasher corrected.

“Hehe, stick around us and you can see more of this. We are used to this,” Bowler uttered proudly.

“Like hell you are. Only Boss has the right to say those words!” The Man chided.

Jack had walked to where the loot was while the others were celebrating. It was a mythical-grade gold bull boss this time. He also used his runestone of luck, so the loot should be good.

Quite a lot of items were dropped this time except for coins. He scooped up the mana cores before scanning the rest. He ignored the equipment since they were all super rare grades. His monocle marked most of the items with orange color, which represented a super rare grade. No silver color marking which represented a unique grade.

When Jack was starting to feel disappointed, he noticed one small marking among the others. It was a purple color. The color of a legendary grade!

Jack immediately went for that item and took it out of the pile while uttering, “A mythical can also drop legendary loot?!”

“It can. In an extremely small percentage, though,” Peniel answered. “It is also only possible if your luck stat goes past a certain point.”

The item was a piece of parchment.

Resurrection Chapel Blueprint (Legendary blueprint, for guild purposes only)

Allow the construction of the resurrection chapel

“Wow! A resurrection chapel, this is very good!” Peniel exclaimed.

“Lady, it is a legendary grade. If it isn’t good, I will call Wilted to complain. What does this thing do?” Jack asked.

“Once your guild builds this structure. Every member who dies in the wilderness will be resurrected inside the chapel as if they die inside a safe zone. Same effect as the amulet of rebirth, but the effect of this chapel takes priority over the amulet of rebirth. So, one who wears the amulet of rebirth won’t lose the amulet when he dies. But a member can only be resurrected once a week. If one dies a second time that week, he won’t be resurrected by the chapel. He has to wait one week before he is protected by the chapel again.”

“At this stage, the average players have probably died many times that they can no longer afford to buy the amulet of rebirth. Do you know what this means? If people hear that our guild has this structure, they will come swarming to join.”

“Not that we need that to attract players,” Jet said. The others had come to check the loot as well. They heard Peniel’s explanation about the blueprint in Jack’s hand. “We have almost filled up our ten thousand member slots. We will have to wait until our guild levels up again before we can accept more members.”

“Now ain’t you people feel lucky to have joined?” Bowler turned to Warpath’s group.

Warpath didn’t give any response while his four other companions nodded vehemently.

Jack stored the blueprint. He would give it to Jeanny or Tip later when he returned to Thereath. “The rest are yours. Share properly. Don’t fight.”

“Who do you think we are? Children?” Jet asked. Then he announced to the others, “Okay, since I am the eldest. I will have the first pick.”

“Drop dead! We roll it to see who gets the first pick!” Bowler exclaimed.

“You disrespectful kid! Didn’t your parents teach you to respect the elder?”

“You are not an elder, you are a kid who is advanced in years!” Bowler didn’t back down.𝓝𝑜𝑣𝐞𝗅𝔫𝑬xt.𝗰𝑶𝓜

While they were quarreling, Warpath went to the pile and picked one piece of equipment. “This is mine,” he said.

“Hey! We haven’t rolled yet!” Bowler yelled.

Jack shook his head. After he told them not to quarrel, that was exactly the thing they did. He walked to the hole that led to the next floor. “I will be heading to the next floor first. If I find out you people have a physical fight, I will kick you out from joining the exp farming on the next floor,” Jack warned before jumping into the hole.

Arriving on the next floor, Jack saw a similar corridor as the other floors but the stone that formed this floor was darker. Each time he descended a floor, the stone was slightly darker than the floor above it. It was not so apparent if one only descended a floor since the difference was very slight. But if he compared the stone on this fifteenth floor to the stone on the first floor, it was like heaven and earth.

At this pace, he figured the twentieth floor would have completely black corridors. He won’t be able to find out about it at his current level, though. Peniel said the monsters on the twentieth floor had levels ranging from level 95 to 99.

As for this fifteenth floor, the monsters were around levels 70 to 75. The monsters here might be too strong for the others, but he could still cope with them as long as there was no mythical grade.

While he waited for the others, a level 71 special elite minotaur appeared. Jack sent Therras to fight it while he continued waiting for the others just in case another minotaur came from the other side.

When the others arrived on this floor, he said to them, “We are not going to the boss’ room anymore. I don’t think we can win anyway.”

The others nodded. They had even been planning to tell Jack that they won’t join the boss fight if Jack insisted on trying to fight the boss on this floor.

“So, we are going to roam around this floor and farm exp. Everyone stays close. Bowler! Heals Jet’s lion and griffin to full health. Those two pets will watch the rear in case monsters came from the back. Therras, and I will be on the front engaging monsters directly. All of you just do support, send ranged attacks if you have. Don’t try to act brave. Bangstick, play your music to give us a boost.”

“You got it, boss!” Bangstick said.

“All right, everyone. Time to farm us some exp points!” Jack exclaimed.
