Denzel stared at the red and black mask in his hand with a huge grin on his face. The God of luck was on his side in his second try at life. ~Apprasial~
~Psycho Mask (??- rank):- The mask that conceals both the identity and presence of the wearer when the individual wills it.[When active, the wearer gains +50% AURA, +50% MP, & +40%AGI].[Remaining info. is locked]
Denzel was stoked about the boosters that the mask he received from the goblin King gave him. Not only did he receive op boosters but the mask also had passive abilities why helped in stealth operations.
~Denzel:- These buff stats are soo insane [To himself], It's in percentage too, that means the stronger I get the stronger the mask becomes. Oh! I've gotta get back home quickly. [He picks up his bag and storms to the dungeon exit]
Denzel stored his loot for the day in his system inventory hoping to get profit out of them when selling of dungeon and Gates weapons and armor begin. Denzel knowing that the security outside the gate was going to be tough tried on the [psycho mask] for the first time after he got hold of it. Denzel could feel the surge of energy the moment the mask touched his face it was as if it was made intentionally for him. Denzel's presence was concealed by the mask, so when he exited the dungeon he wasn't noticed by any of the people around. The dungeon's portal turned "pale blue" as Denzel exited it indicating that the dungeon had been cleared and was going to disappear soon. Denzel fled from the area picking up his bike from the alley he left it before he entered the dungeon. On his way back home, Denzel took out his phone to check on the current world state since electronic gadgets do not work within the dungeons and towers. Denzel realized he had (4) missed calls, all from his parents. He knew that time flow in the dungeon was significantly faster than in the real world i.e;5hrs in the dungeon is equal to 24hrs in the real world. Denzel was in the dungeon for '2 whole days' even though to him only a few hours had passed. Denzel sent his parents a message about being alright which made them calm down. Denzel kept scrolling through his phone checking the latest news until he came across his own.
~Denzel: Wait,[To himself] that's me [Stops his bike].20.7M views huh! [Surprised].
Denzel saw all the latest news about the appearance of the dungeons and towers around the world. Some people he'd already adjusted to the change and some guilds had already been formed. Player Associations for each country were created. The restrictions of entry into dungeons or towers except by a player recognized by their country's association had been put in place. A whole lot took place in those two days. The world was changing much quicker than anyone expected. Denzel's focus was on his video. Apparently, when he entered the dungeon "someone" got it on camera but it wasn't that clear enough to say it was Denzel after all alot of people are crazy these days. Denzel hurried back home on his bike. When he got home , Mr&Mrs.Rünter quickly rushed to him snuggling him in a very tight bear hug.
~Denzel:- Dad, mom I can't breathe [He sofficates]
~Mrs.Rünter:-Denzel, we were so worried about you. The moment you left all these weird things started happening. System messages and we becoming "players of something". All that matters now is that you're safe.
~Mr.Rünter:- Denzel you also got this system message thing, right?
~Denzel:- Yeah, it has all my capabilities in numerical value.
~Mr.Rünter:- I see, I have made some research and I've found out somethings. One, for some reason only those above 15 years got the system message and some of us don't have a status window. I also feel like I know Soo much about the tower for some unknown reason.
Denzel knew that his father will be able to crack the code. After all his father will have a pivotal role in the making of equipment and weapons. Denzel and his parent shared their opinions on the current situation and after their talk Denzel went up to take a shower because he reiked of goblin blood. Denzel showerd quickly and decided to hit the hay early that day because he was extremely exhausted. Before he went to sleep, Denzel planned out his next move to be [Farming for EXP]. The requirement to climb the tower was for a player to be at least [LVL.10] and above.This is to enable the player to have their job class before they entered tower. The job class enabled the player to know the role they played in the team they found themselves in when climbing the tower. Denzel was on [LVL.8], two levels shy of the tenth level. He had to farm for EXP before he could climb the tower. Denzel could feel he was moving at a very fast pace compared to his prior life but he felt he needed to pick up the pace and start climbing the tower soon. Denzel could not do anymore planning because his brain went [shut down mode] and he slept peacefully that night. Denzel thought everything was under control,... only if he knew what was ahead of him (but he had regressed..🤫). Denzel woke up and checked the time,[10:49am/12th March 2099]. Denzel got off his bed and washed his face before brushing his teeth. Denzel knew his parents had left and didn't wake him up because they knew he was extremely exhausted from his adventure. They left Denzel his breakfast and some money. Denzel completed his morning chores (mainly bathing) and was on his phone while he was eating . He was just reading his favourite novel when he received a message. He opened the message which was from his close friend,Herman.
[Chat Message]
~Herman(Thwart)
Yooo!bro, have you seen what's going on?
This is amazing, we prayed for times
like these. About 'that' video , It was you
right.That was Soo badass.
Can we meet at 'May's Cafe'[11:30am]
~You
Sure!
Denzel was only planning on farming that day so it didn't really hurt putting a meeting into his schedule. Denzel wasn't going to skip the idea because he and Ryan(Herman) always did things together. They were like ying and yang. Denzel got dressed up in his normal fit, a pair of tracksuit pants, a white round neck shirt and styled it up with a black cap. Denzel was at the location for their meeting in no time,[Location: Main Street West Rd.21,May's Café]. Denzel parked his bike at the parking lot nearby and checked the time again [11:33am]. Denzel was a little late from the scheduled time but he still arrived anyways. He entered the café and was craning his neck around looking for Ryan and he finally spotted him.In the direction that Denzel gazed sat a tall blonde dude who looked to be not more than 18 years with a certain radiance about him. When you looked at the young man and Denzel one could never tell they had a relationship between them. They were exact opposites,'Yin and yang'. Ryan was dripped from head to toe. Denzel walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder.
~Denzel:-[To Ryan] Hey meathead,how have you been?[smacks Ryan's back]
Ryan turned around and removed his airpods so as to see and hear the person who dares disturb his peace. He looked at Denzel and broke into a laugh.
~Ryan:-[in loud laughter] What? A cap, that's the best you could do? Lame..
~Denzel:- Shut up! moronic idiot, you're disturbing the others[ pointing in a certain direction].[He sets up a sound blocking device] So, what did you want to discuss?
~Ryan:- So cold dude not cool , Well if you are going straight to the point then I'll go straight to the point then. It was you wasn't it?[shows a video on his phone to Denzel]
~Denzel:- Yeah it was me. You're happy now?
~Ryan:- I knew it! So what level are you at right now[sips his juice]
~Denzel:- Straight to the meddling I see.
~Ryan:- You know me too well. I only learn't from my master[He points at Denzel]
~Denzel:-[He smiles] You have learn't well my student. I am at LVL.8
~Ryan:- That's all? Well I'm at [LVL.10] and I'm in the mage class. I can conjure lightning. Take a look at this [He emits lightning sparks from his finger]. Huh! You aren't shocked?
Of course, Denzel had seen Ryan's ability many times on display in his past life so he wasn't really moved when he saw it again. Denzel wasn't the only person crazy enough to enter the dungeons when they appeared. There were many more people who had already even entered the tower. Ryan suggested they go to more dungeons and level up so they could climb the tower together.
~Denzel:- It's like you read my mind. Let's get going then.
Ryan paid the bill for the time they spent at the café and they both left. They went back to Denzel's place which was around the corner and packed some gear along. The searched for a location with multiple dungeon sightings near their location and headed there. Their destination was the outskirts of [St Mary Av.469,Feyenoord]. They arrived at the location and they spotted many uncleared dungeons within the area. They both nodded their head in unison.
~Ryan:- Ready to grind?[His face cracks into a smile]
~Denzel:- Am always ready!
[Farming For EXP Begins]
Both of them were already heading into their first dungeon. Denzel had a dagger as a weapon and Ryan his "bare hands"(also had lightning abilities). They entered the first of the dungeons. [Goblin and Orc Domain (E-rank)]. The dungeon was rated as an E-rank dungeon with a dead forest environment. Denzel and Ryan were immediately surrounded by a horde of monsters the moment they entered.
[Orc LVL.12] x5
[Hobgoblin LVL.8] x10
[High Orc LVL.16] x2
~Ryan:- They're a lot but that doesn't matter.[His eyes glow yellow emitting sparks]. I'll just blow them all away
~Tesla Blitz~
Tesla blitz, a lightning ability that sends multiple lightning strikes at the opponent. Ryan released an electric based attack which was too fast for the hobgoblins to react and they got blown to smithereens. More monsters started dashing to their location after such a huge blast was created.
~Denzel:- Today's gonna be a very long day [Clutching his aura dagger]
The two farmers cultivated a lot of EXP that day.
[Ping!Ping!Ping!Ping!..]
[Congratulations! You've gained a huge amount of EXP, +2000EXP][Congratulations! You've killed a High Orc, +1000EXP ].....Denzel gained a lot of EXP from farming that day and his hard work paid off
[Ping!Ping!]
[Congratulations! You've leveled up] x3. Denzel leveled up thrive and finally crossed the [LVL.10] threshold.
~Ryan:-[Panting] Now that's a great workout. We've grinded a lot. I think we should take a break and call it a day. I leveled up twice! I'm now at level [LVL.12]
~Denzel:- I leveled up thrice, so am now on [LVL.11].
~Ryan:- How? [shocked ] I clearly killed more monsters than so how come you got more EXP
~Denzel:-[He holds up his mask] I guess you aren't as lucky as me. See ya later!
Denzel's Exp has been on the rise since he got the mask. Denzel packed his stuff and went back home leaving Ryan who was heading in the opposite direction to head on home . They both just had a tiring day.
[Text message]
Denzel:- Tomorrow, we will go to the tower. You okay with the plan.
Ryan:- I was born ready for anything.
Ryan was pumped for the new challenge ahead. He could barely sleep.Denzel wasn't really feeling moved about it because he knew what to expect until he reached the 99th floor boss [...]. Denzel had not checked his class because he already knew what class he was going to get. 'The figher's class' but little did he know..
