Light, Flaming, Lilly and Grid tackled their respective class changing quest, First Zeek sold all of the leftover pieces of equipment for some cash for a total of 572 golds, he then sent 100 golds each to Grid and the others, while sorting his things in the player inventory he remembered the item that the King Trent dropped, The Seed of the Trent King.
"First let's pass this item first to the Elven Commander"
Zeek then walked to the towns teleportation device and teleported to a town know as Elven Forest, the town capital of Elgor which is the Elven Empire. after teleporting to the town Zeek searched for what players call the NPC locator inside the library, Zeek researched a bit about the history of the town, after an hour he begone to locate the nearest carriage service.
Carriage services are used to by massive towns because of there huge geography, each massive town has there own carriage service so that players can travel without the hassle of walking to the said location.
After the 5 minute ride Zeek arrived on the Elven Garrison on the far east of the Elven forest, he then approached the NPC guard.
"State your business here human", the guard said
"I'm here to see Commander Grayson, I need to give him a certain item".
The guard then opened the large wooden gate and guided Zeek to a simple tent in the middle of the garrison.
"Commander Grayson, A human is here to see you"
Grayson stood up and raised his hand, the guard then stood back.
"You come a long way human, what is that you seek?"
"Commander Grayson, I acquired a certain item for you to see"
Zeek then grabbed The Seed of the Trent King from the inventory and presented it to Grayson
"T...This is The Seed of the Trent King!?" Grayson was shocked by the item that Zeek presented.
"I got it after slaying the King Trent on a dungeon called Trial of The Forest," Zeek said.
"State your name human",
"My name is Endless, an Adventurer from Clad Village", Zeek replied
"Follow me Endless", Grayson stood up and walked outside of the tent
Grayson then started walking south of the camp until reaching a dense forest. Zeek then heard a crying sound on the surrounding area.
"Don't be afraid, It's just the wind, This forest is called The Weeping Wind,"
As they walked past the forest they end up on a vast lake.
"This place is called the Forgotten City," Grayson said
"But. . . This is a lake", Zeek said.
"Legends say that a great Elven City was built here, 500 years before the Great Holy War, but the tales of old vanished because of the war, The Great Elven Library was destroyed including millions of literature and history that were given to us by the Grand Celestial Beings. Now the Legends and Stories of the Elves are like what you called bedtime stories, passed down for kids amusement and fairy tales, when I was a kid my Great Grandmother always told me about the Forgotten City, She always told me that the city didn't vanish, you see Zeek, The Forgotten City is a City built by the God of the Forest, The Great Trent Yggdra, the First Trent that came off directly on the Branches of the World Tree.
"The World Tree?" Zeek asked
"The World Tree or Yggdrasil was a legend known to us elves. Do you know why we elves have a very long life span?: Grayson asked.
"So you can live longer?" Zeek sarcastically replied
"Hahaha. No, The sole purpose of an elf is to find the world tree, our true home." Grayson said
"Why did the World Tree vanish in the first place", Zeek asked.
"No ones know, the Elders called it The Forgotten Era but others say that we offended the Old Gods", Grayson said.
"Can you give me The Seed of the Trent King", Grayson asked.
Grayson then spoke some elven language and the seed started to float on his hand, Elven scriptures then appeared surrounding the seed while it floats on the air. the seed started moving and plunged into the water.
A System Notification suddenly appeared in front of Zeek.
System: Congratulations Player Endless, You unlocked the Hidden Quest: Discovering the Ancient World [Rank S], Comeback to Elven Commander Grayson after reaching Level 40 to trigger the next step for the quest.
"The seed will take time to form, I'll call you if the time is right", Grayson said.
"Level 40. . . Damn it, the story it became interesting and now I have to wait to know something on an Era before the Great War," Zeek said.
Zeek returned to the Elven Garrison with a disappointed face.
"Thank you, Zeek, for coming here, I'll call you if something happens with the seed," Grayson said.
Zeek couldn't do anything , he wanted to dig deeper on the lore of the game, this types of stories are what fascinates him the most, being reincarnated to a year where online gaming is leaps and bounds from the games that he used to play when he was young, this game brought him joy and happiness, this lore and stories that deepen the experience of the players makes him more excited in exploring them rather than playing the actual game.
Zeek returned to the Elven Forest and tried to dig some information about the World Tree on the Elven Cities main Library, but all he saw was fairy tales made for children.
With the disappointed and exhausted look, Zeek traveled to Vulcan Empire to meet up with Zafir the Archive Manager of the Demon Race Library. Lilith then guided Zeek to the private room of Zafir.
"Good to see you again Zeek the Shadow Assassin, do you need some help?" Zafir asked.
"Master Zafir, I want to show you something thinking that you can help me figure out an item", Zeek said
Zeek then pulled out the King of Shadow Journal, as soon as Zafir saw the journal he gasps some air and rubbed his forehead.
"Zeek, This item is a cursed relic"
"But this item belongs to wrath, am I right?".
"No, This item is much older than the Great Holy War", Zafir explained
"Another item that is older than the Great Holy War?, First the Seed of the Trent King and now this item too?" Zeek was astonished on what he discovered.
"The Shadow of Destruction, the Tome that you got from Verommer is one of the items on what they called the Vault of the Shadow Kings Sin. A place where all the cursed items that the Demon King bestowed upon the Demon race. These relics are so cursed that even the Shadow King himself sealed and scattered it himself using his own life essence."
"So this thing is useless"?
"we will not know until we break the seal and look at pages of the journal"
"Can you do it?, Can you break the seal".
"It is possible, but the power that I have now is not enough to break it, I need a certain item to amplify the power I possess", Zafir said.
After Zafir's speech, a System Notification appeared in front of Zeek.
System: Congratulations Player Endless, You unlocked the Hidden Quest: The Jewel of the Undead [Rank A].
Objectives:
Kill Namir Azen 0/1
Acquire Namir Azen's Necklace 0/1
"Where can I find this Namir Azen?" Zeek asked.
"Travel south and search for the Grave of the Kings, there you will see a tombstone of Namir Azen, you can use this item to Revive him", Zafir then handed Zeek a Talisman.
"So you want me to revive him then kill him", Zeek asked.
"The dead must stay dead, Right?"
A sudden ring echoed on Zeek's ears, this only means that the server will shut down after 10 minutes.
"I'll be back after completing the quest", Zeek said.
"Goodluck to you Shadow Assassin"
Zeek then opened his interface and pressed shut down.
After eating breakfast Zeek and Grid walked to school
"Do you know about The Forgotten Era?", Zeek asked
"Forgotten what?", Grid said
"You're the type of player who skips the dialogues of NPC," Zeek said
"Who needs it, A summarized quest will appear on your interface even you don't listen to it completely, wait! are you saying that you didn't even know that you can skip the dialogues", Zeek said
"No, I listen to the stories that they tell, it fascinates me to know their stories", Zeek said
"You're weird", Grid said
As the two entered the classroom they heard the others talking about Gods Realm, But the two keep silent and just talked with each other.
"So what are you doing right now?, Light and the other including me is still on the middle of changing Jobs", Grid asked.
"I'm planning to finish a hunting quest", Zeek said.
"Do you need help", Grid offered.
"No, just finish the Job Change Quest first and if I'm not done in my quest I'll just call you guys for rescue", Zeek said
The day went normal, After school the two went straight home and logged in to Gods Realm. Zeek checked the Ranking board of Trial of the Forest and Saw Piercing Rose and Sword Breaker already finished the dungeon, Zeek then called Flower Remedy and ordered her to sell the Divine Fire Potion, Zeek then started to travel south and saw a party of 5 trying to kill a Demon Wolf Elder with only 10% HP remaining.
"Captain, we lost 3 damage dealer now, the HP regeneration of this monster is insane, the DPS can't keep up." a male magician said.
"If this goes on any longer the monsters HP will return to full," said the group's cleric
"We need more firepower captain", the archer said
Zeek then used concealment and tried to walk past the group but then a thief in the group shouted.
"There is someone here using concealment skill! be careful"
The group became vigilant after the thief warned about an unknown enemy concealing his presence.
Zeek then canceled the concealment to let them now that he doesn't want trouble.
"I'm just a passerby, I'm not here to steal you hunt", Zeek said.
A robust man wearing a silver set of equipment with a massive shield carved with a lion bashed the Demon Wolf Elder stunning it.
"Adventurer, do you mind helping us in defeating this monster?" The man then sent Zeek a party invitation.
"If I help you do you promise to let me choose first on the monsters item drops?" Zeek negotiated
"Okay then, its a deal", the party leader said while blocking the Demon Wolf Elder.
After confirming the invite Zeek equipped Elf Commander Dagger and used [ Shadow Manipulation ] to create a copy of himself and lunched forward as the Demon Wolf Elder swings its paws Zeek used [ Shadow Transmission ] sending himself in the back of the Demon Wolf Elder, he then used [ Shadow Bind ] to Stun the target then Zeek started to attack.

The party members jaw dropped after seeing the damage that Zeek generated.
"What the hell is that damage?", The cleric in the team said.
"His normal attack is insanely high for a level 20 character", the thief analyzed
"Don't just stand there! deal some damage on the boss!" The leader ordered.
After 5 minutes the boss HP fell to 0, while the thief organizes the loots their leader approached Zeek.
"I'm Wolf Hound, Leader of the adventurer team Wolfs Den, and this is my members,"
The Cleric stepped forward and introduced himself followed by the others
"I'm Healing Ray, a 2nd Job Priest"
"My names Sharp Edge, 2nd job Elite Swordsman"
"I'm Fire Starter, 2nd Job Fire Mage"
The Thief then approached after sorting the loots.
"My name is Dark Instinct, 2nd Job Assassin"
"Thank you for your help, as promised you will be the first to pick an item on the loots.
Wolf Hound then opened the Loot inventory to let Zeek picked, as Zeek search for items that he can use.
"Can I see the description of this item," Zeek asked.
The party was dumbfounded, one of the loots is a level 20 blue dagger that Dark Instinct wants but Zeek didn't choose any item, he chooses a tattered piece of paper.
Wolf Hound opened the item description to let Zeek see it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item Name: Tattered Piece of Parchment [ Gold ]
Level Requirement: Level 20
Description:
An unknown potion recipe, search for an advance alchemist to look into it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'll pick this one", Zeek said.
After sorting the loots the group plan to teleport back to Vulcan Empire, but Wolf Hound was interested in Zeek being here in the Vulcan Empire.
"Endless, are you doing a quest right now? do you need some help?" Wolf Hound suggested.
"Do you know the place "The Grave of the Kings", Zeek asked
"It's a level 30 map if you want we can tag along", Wolf Hound said.
"Okay, I need a certain item from a boss, after we defeat it you can have the loots and the equipment, but I really don't have any idea how powerful the boss is so you can't blame me if all of us dies".
"all of us already acquired 2nd job change, so I think we stood a chance",
"Okay then, let's do this", Zeek smiled and lead the group towards The Grave of the Kings.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Light, Flaming, Lilly and Grid tackled their respective class changing quest, First Zeek sold all of the leftover pieces of equipment for some cash for a total of 572 golds, he then sent 100 golds each to Grid and the others, while sorting his things in the player inventory he remembered the item that the King Trent dropped, The Seed of the Trent King.
"First let's pass this item first to the Elven Commander"
Zeek then walked to the towns teleportation device and teleported to a town know as Elven Forest, the town capital of Elgor which is the Elven Empire. after teleporting to the town Zeek searched for what players call the NPC locator inside the library, Zeek researched a bit about the history of the town, after an hour he begone to locate the nearest carriage service.
Carriage services are used to by massive towns because of there huge geography, each massive town has there own carriage service so that players can travel without the hassle of walking to the said location.

Grayson then started walking south of the camp until reaching a dense forest. Zeek then heard a crying sound on the surrounding area.

As they walked past the forest they end up on a vast lake.

Zeek asked."Travel south and search for the Grave of the Kings, there you will see a tombstone of Namir Azen, you can use this item to Revive him", Zafir then handed Zeek a Talisman."So you want me to revive him then kill him", Zeek asked."The dead must stay dead, Right?"A sudden ring echoed on Zeek's ears, this only means that the server will shut down after 10 minutes."I'll be back after completing the quest", Zeek said."Goodluck to you Shadow Assassin"Zeek then opened his interface and pressed shut down.After eating breakfast Zeek and Grid walked to school"Do you know about The Forgotten Era?", Zeek asked"Forgotten what?", Grid said"You're the type of player who skips the dialogues of NPC," Zeek said"Who needs it, A summarized quest will appear on your interface even you don't listen to it completely, wait! are you saying that you didn't even know that you can skip the dialogues", Zeek said"No, I listen to the stories that they tell, it fascinates me to know their stories", Zeek said"You're weird", Grid saidAs the two entered the classroom they heard the others talking about Gods Realm, But the two keep silent and just talked with each other."So what are you doing right now?, Light and the other including me is still on the middle of changing Jobs", Grid asked."I'm planning to finish a hunting quest", Zeek said."Do you need help", Grid offered."No, just finish the Job Change Quest first and if I'm not done in my quest I'll just call you guys for rescue", Zeek saidThe day went normal, After school the two went straight home and logged in to Gods Realm. Zeek checked the Ranking board of Trial of the Forest and Saw Piercing Rose and Sword Breaker already finished the dungeon, Zeek then called Flower Remedy and ordered her to sell the Divine Fire Potion, Zeek then started to travel south and saw a party of 5 trying to kill a Demon Wolf Elder with only 10% HP remaining."Captain, we lost 3 damage dealer now, the HP regeneration of this monster is insane, the DPS can't keep up." a male magician said."If this goes on any longer the monsters HP will return to full," said the group's cleric"We need more firepower captain", the archer saidZeek then used concealment and tried to walk past the group but then a thief in the group shouted."There is someone here using concealment skill! be careful"The group became vigilant after the thief warned about an unknown enemy concealing his presence.Zeek then canceled the concealment to let them now that he doesn't want trouble."I'm just a passerby, I'm not here to steal you hunt", Zeek said.A robust man wearing a silver set of equipment with a massive shield carved with a lion bashed the Demon Wolf Elder stunning it."Adventurer, do you mind helping us in defeating this monster?" The man then sent Zeek a party invitation."If I help you do you promise to let me choose first on the monsters item drops?" Zeek negotiated"Okay then, its a deal", the party leader said while blocking the Demon Wolf Elder.After confirming the invite Zeek equipped Elf Commander Dagger and used Shadow Manipulation to create a copy of himself and lunched forward as the Demon Wolf Elder swings its paws Zeek used Shadow Transmission sending himself in the back of the Demon Wolf Elder, he then used Shadow Bind to Stun the target then Zeek started to attack.-340-672 Critical-644 Critical-332-621 Critical-601 CriticalThe party members jaw dropped after seeing the damage that Zeek generated."What the hell is that damage?", The cleric in the team said."His normal attack is insanely high for a level 20 character", the thief analyzed"Don't just stand there! deal some damage on the boss!" The leader ordered.After 5 minutes the boss HP fell to 0, while the thief organizes the loots their leader approached Zeek."I'm Wolf Hound, Leader of the adventurer team Wolfs Den, and this is my members,"The Cleric stepped forward and introduced himself followed by the others"I'm Healing Ray, a 2nd Job Priest""My names Sharp Edge, 2nd job Elite Swordsman""I'm Fire Starter, 2nd Job Fire Mage"The Thief then approached after sorting the loots."My name is Dark Instinct, 2nd Job Assassin""Thank you for your help, as promised you will be the first to pick an item on the loots.Wolf Hound then opened the Loot inventory to let Zeek picked, as Zeek search for items that he can use."Can I see the description of this item," Zeek asked.The party was dumbfounded, one of the loots is a level 20 blue dagger that Dark Instinct wants but Zeek didn't choose any item, he chooses a tattered piece of paper.Wolf Hound opened the item description to let Zeek see it.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Item Name: Tattered Piece of Parchment Gold Level Requirement: Level 20Description:An unknown potion recipe, search for an advance alchemist to look into it.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"I'll pick this one", Zeek said.After sorting the loots the group plan to teleport back to Vulcan Empire, but Wolf Hound was interested in Zeek being here in the Vulcan Empire."Endless, are you doing a quest right now? do you need some help?" Wolf Hound suggested."Do you know the place "The Grave of the Kings", Zeek asked"It's a level 30 map if you want we can tag along", Wolf Hound said."Okay, I need a certain item from a boss, after we defeat it you can have the loots and the equipment, but I really don't have any idea how powerful the boss is so you can't blame me if all of us dies"."all of us already acquired 2nd job change, so I think we stood a chance","Okay then, let's do this", Zeek smiled and lead the group towards The Grave of the Kings.
