Main Quest (2)

Jabberwocky had only once encountered such a message, caused by his actions on the call of the angel, even. So this time, he could only hope that he was not the cause of such an event again... He really didn't want to become even more of a target.

Jabberwocky didn't think any further, an ear-piercing, sharp scream made him jerk to the side, which hadn't saved him completely. The pain was barely transmitted through his capsule and neural link, but the sharp jab, along with the roar of the ferocious beast and the shadow darting sharply beside him, made him scream in pain and panic.

The huge, lump-like body, seemingly covered in muscles that are hardened to a point of becoming armor, towering a good three heads above Jabberwocky, turned sideways, revealing its grotesque humanoid body. Its disproportionately huge, fleshy, black-and-burgundy arms, ending in sharp-looking straight claws, that looked more like meat cleavers than fingers, and a face that consisted only of a huge mouth full of many sharp teeth.

Jabberwocky tried not to stare at the gaping hole inside the creature's throat, looking more like an entrance to an abyss than anything mundane.

'Junior Demon Minion, level 8', his Perception skill told Jabberwocky, but rather than celebrating the fact that he had found some kind of new monster, his gaze instead drifted down to the creature's claws again. The claws that continued to hold his severed arm.

A moment later, Jabberwocky's field of vision darkened, replaced by a simple sign.

You are dead. Time until revival: 1:59:59... One that is counting down the seconds.

"For crying out loud!" Jabberwocky shouted mentally to the dark void before sighing. "Okay, I might not have lost all that much since I literally just respawned, but... What were the chances of that thing sprouting up next to me?! Fuck my luck!"

***

What was the chance that Jabberwocky would respawn next to a demon? Honestly, I didn't even look where he was supposed to revive, Jabberwocky may have behaved badly, he after all still made me think about new quests. I've already fucked him up once, okay twice, even if he was still a player personally noted by me in a somewhat negative way, there's no way that I actually want to harass him until he quits.

It was an honest-to-god accident.

Well, I'll just have to remember to give him something for his stupid death... But there are more important things to think about.

Yes, here are the new opponents to the players! And they are strong enough, that it is clear that an eighth-level player is no match for them. And seeing that the current strongest fighter, Sturm was just a level six, along with Double even if he was less spec'ed for combat, no Player would be a match to the Demons. Alone at least.

The junior Demon should push the player into starting to learn how to fight in groups, rather than the strange system that Jabberwocky's group had created. The Demon, with some luck and the right tactics, could be defeated even by five first-level players...

Of course, I had only created a very limited amount of the Elite mob, fifteen in total, along with a bevy of other low-level mobs. I even added a flight-capable 'flying imp', all because of the portals on the hovering islands that opened up oh so unexpectedly.

Have fun, players, my generosity knows no bounds!

In fact, I did tweak another system a bit, and lo and behold, now you can carve up the carcass of a defeated enemy for their parts! Now you can craft your own weapons, well you can already do that seeing just how many people sporting chair leg clubs, but now you can make; armor from demon bodies!

I even added a normal System... I already told you what's the most useful tab in the world, didn't I?

Add that to the brewing proto-guild fights and a second statue on the other islands, and you've got yourself another week of fun. And in the meantime, we can start working on... Well, of course, first we'll add a couple of starting zones for new players, and we'll start working on magic properly!
