“...shit.”
Meanwhile at the Kingdom of Lantanya
“What?! Where is She?!?”
Ever since the world quest was created the night prior millions of people found themselves frantically searching for the ex-best player, in a fruitless effort to get their hands on an s-ranked item.
“The quest is only E++ rank, that means she must've only spawned recently. So why isn't she here? Who doesn't spawn here?”
Kingdom of Latania- the most popular location by far, it’s numbers alone accounts for over 40% of the entire game's population, and why wouldnt it? With early access to skills like [Instant Transmission] and [Dismantle]- and techniques like [Katana Fighting] it’s no wonder that it's so popular.
“Hmph! These people are so dumb~” smugly stated a blond girl with a small stature. “Oi, No reason to insult others because of their lack of information on the inner workings of an insane person like Katherine.” replied a gargantuan of a man with silver hair. The small girl looked down towards the man whose shoulders she sat on and he looked up, “The Desolate Wasteland” they both said simultaniously.
And so… they both made their way towards the land people rarely touch.
Back with Hecate.

“...Shit.”
Hecate’s mood instantly soured and the beaming smile on her face turned into an angry scowl.
“Are you- like- fucking- what the hell?!?” she couldn't finish her own sentences. “Which bastard did this? Was it Paul? I know that fucker had it out for me!!”
“Clrranggg!!” Hecate’s violent shouts were rudely interrupted by a strange screaming noise.
Turning around, her vision was cursed with the sight of a giant two foot long ant.
“oh don't even start” she hardened the skin on her knuckles and stretched the rest of her arm as far as she could before suddenly jerking her shoulder forward, launching her fist at the strange creature crushing its exoskeleton inwards in the process.
[You’ve exterminated a monster, Experience has been earned.]
It wasn’t long before another equally sized creature crawled out of the hole in the ground that the first crawled out of, and what followed were hundreds of identical creatures.
“Fuuuuuuuuuuuck oooofffff!”
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sounds of bodies being destroyed indiscriminately rang throughout the open air as Hecate mercilessly slaughtered the insects that crawled out of the hole.
[You’ve exterminated a monster, Experience ha- You’ve exterminated a monster, Experience ha- You’ve exterminated a monster, Experience ha- You’ve exterminated a monster, Your Level has risen.]
The dying screams mixed with the monotone voice of the system sounded like music to the deranged girls ears.
And so a few hours passed.

“That's what you get, ya’ damn bugs.” she heaved in between heavy sighs. Surrounding her were piles upon piles of ruined insect remains.

“Ha:” she let loose a dry chuckle. “This game really is so unfair.” the girl’s muscles gave out and she fell to the floor.
“Wha-”
How much time had passed since she killed the last bug? A few minutes? Hours? Honestly she couldn't tell. An exhausted body plus the blazing sun made for a very trance-like atmosphere.
[Notice: Your Suffocating.]
“Mph.” she tried to shout but her mouth filled with sand, in response to such an unexpected situation- the girl tried to move only to find herself unable.
She was sinking- quite rapidly in fact deep into the sand that she had been laying on for quite awhile. “Gah!” she tried to shout but her mouth filled with sand- at this rate she would suffocate to death.
[Notice: You’re Suffocating]
‘Shit! Shit! Shit! This is really-’
[You’ve entered the hidden entrance: Anthill Monotony]
‘What the hell?’

The Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!

Every time he has thought to try, he remembers the looks of hate and fear on the faces of friends and neighbors when they found out his affinities.

When he recieves an invitation to become an outer disciple of Frigid Mountain, the cultivating sect that watches over the area, he leaps at the chance to leave his village and the people who view him as a remnant of a past better left buried. Watch Jack as he attempts to rise above the sins of those that shared his features, and seeks to become a force for good in the world, rather than destruction. ----- Photo used for cover by Oussama Elhaidi
