Darknym was once more in his Inn room grinding his mage profession, when he heard music in the room. Theo was playing the lute while singing some strange ballad in a foreign tongue or was it some fantasy made sound mix. Darknym wrote the notes of the song on a piece of paper and wrote words to them and as the song continued he begun singing as well.

Two pigeons flew on wings of freedom,

Two pigeons stopped as they fell in love,

Two pigeons flew together to the north,

Two pigeons stopped together to rest,

Two pigeons died by the cold winds of the north.

His lyrics didn't go on deaf ears as Theo took her Lute and landed it on his head. It did him no damage but it sure helped her relieve some stress. Darknym sighed as she went back to her singing.

'Well her rebellious behavior might be taken as part of her charms'

Darknym's mage profession had taken leaps towards mastery after he obtained the lucky ring, most 10% chances became a 100% chance due to his great luck stat. He had now mastered complex magic spells that were just a little harder than basic spells to do since they had a channeling duration before they were cast, taking a little more of his time.

Three days have passed and two more of his guests arrived, but today it was the day he awaited the Hellion's Guildmaster to arrive, to close the deal.

The Guildmaster was a large barbarian with a face of a model, it was really awkward to see how many players had made their characters look handsome, but what truly blew him away was the guildmaster's equipment, he was clad in a burning armor, his horned helm that fully revealed his face was also on fire but he was fine, the set was called "Hellfire Demon Warrior".

"So you are the famous Darknym"

he said with a small smile on his face.

"And you must be the infamous Leonardo of Hell, guildmaster of those scum that raided my Inn room and even had the nerve to report me to the system administrators"

"Well to their defense the original plan of entering your room and killing you every time you appeared was my plan, but it quickly went to plan B,C and even D until all hell went loose"

"Well lets just get over with It I have already made great plans for the village and believe me you won't ever hear of me again after I leave"

"I would have preferred if you had joined us peacefully from the start but since it was our fault from the start, thanks to that Idiot Dublin, here's the contract for the village and some of the nearby land as you requested the other time, well it's cheap anyway"

The guildmaster said while his thoughts were much more different than his words.

'Don't think that we won't pay you back for the disgrace of almost ruining my guild'

Darknym looked through the ownership titles and made sure everything is alright, mostly by having all the merchants under his control check the contents of the contract for fraud or some loophole.

"Everything seems alright, I will leave the city after all my companions have arrived, it shouldn't take long"

He said leaving Leonardo at one of the Inn's tables.

Darknym had Learned all the spellbooks in his possession, all but five forbidden spells that would be OP if used against players, the rules for forbidden spells were simple, if a user reported you of using a forbidden spell, then you would probably be banned for a long time, but that was only if you had done something like deleting other people characters.

The five spells were,

1.Dimension distortion

Creates a black hole that will destroy anything that enters it.

2.Soul suck

Absorbs the soul of a creature to make your soul power stronger

3.Soul exchange

Change bodies with some other creature, You will only exchange Stats, keeping your professions.

4.Fill Soulstone

Can take souls from dead creatures to fill soulstones.

5.Raise the Dead

Can turn creatures into their undead counterpart, permanently.

In the end he absorbed them too. He wouldn't use them unless he didn't care anymore, but it was good to think he had such great powers. One of his Ultimate spells also enabled him to resurrect people trapped inside the soulstones, not that he had any reason to do so.

Now he was probably one of the most powerful mages in Allastar with his Inflated stats, luck and loads of gold coins made it easy for him to become a Master mage, but becoming an Archon was mostly a matter of Money and luck which only he had.

Before he could do anything else he opened a special Guild Option only for high status players. There He bought a large area around his village large enough to be called the mountain itself.

He upgraded the village to a Megapolis, and passed all the designs he had made on the paper to the design on the screen, It was a strange city, he had divided it into four quarters and 4 circles, in the center was A huge tower that could house a town inside. It went high into the sky making it almost impossible to see where it ends, not to speak about it's many underground levels.

He had also put two more towns Inside the tower, One called "Citadel" and the other "Arena". At the top of the Tower was A large Palace Where he was going to live, He had left the Second Circle for his ten Companions, Although the circle Itself could house at least two towns, he had other plans for it, he called it the Nobles sector where he wanted Villas and castles, created for his Servants.

Next section was The living section for the Classes as he called them, they were the ones who were the the owners and privileged citizens of the city lived, having shops and Academies.

The last was the commoner section where the simple workers lived. He had already decided on what shops,Industries,Academies and factions to create for the city. Outside the city walls were countless farms and other food producing facilities. He made it so that players could not pass past the Noble's quarters and there only if they were Invited.

To gain access to the Classes quarters they have to be Acknowledged by the Adventurers guild, A faction he created to keep players away from his city. Since It would take like forever for them to get into the Inner parts of the city.

The four Quarters of the city were divided into the Warrior, Mage, Artificier and Thief based profession buildings.

For Warriors from the inner to the outer section had the Nobles' castles, the Shops and Military building for the Classes. The Industrial area and the Adventurer's guild was at the commoners' quarter.

For Mages it was the Mage towers for the nobles, the shops, Academies and Libraries for the classes while for the commoners where were schools and strange hidden shops that sold magic objects in secret.

For Artificiers, the nobles had modern Villas and strange laboratories. The Classes had stores and Academies for Artificiers and researchers, while The commoner's faction was a strange mix of strange stores that sell components and an industry that produces them.

The thief quarter Nobles had huge rich villas, the Classes section has The most expensive stores and the Assassin's guild. The commoner's section or the slums has no Industry but houses three building of Interest, the Adult district, the Thieves guild and the Rebels' HQ.

He created Sewers that stretch under the Whole Classes' and Commoners' quarters while nobles could do whatever they chose to do with it.

The city had 3 huge gates that passed through the Warrior,Mage and Artificier Quarters.

He also created four castles around the Megapolis and two towns one towards the sea and one towards the Inland both centered on trade.

He had decided to give one town to Vin and Marv, while the other he would give to Verial.

The castles were decided to be given to Girdan, Golem, Robin and Joto to manage.

While the dragon Cliff city was to be managed by all ten of them. Leaving them full reign over the city, under the pretext that he would be above any law they make and all captured criminals were to be handed to him for his two towns Arena and Citadel.

The construction begun but they would take one month to complete. For the time being he had three different trainings to complete, but only the Destros training had a time limit.

With that in mind Darknym logged into Destros.

==============================================

Destros

He had 10books to read and little time to go. He not to speak about his vacations ending in about a week or so. He was now sitting in the prison inside the lab, reading stupid texts on sci-fi subjects that didn't even make sense. Theories of what might be possible and fiction novels about strange experiments and other rather boring stuff. After he had ended half of the books his Intelligence had reached 100points and as he had used the time slow his wisdom had reached 200points and due to his Tp regeneration when reading, he could slow the time for a long time.

(Reason I'm pointing that out is that Tp regeneration is also slowed with time slowing so normally it was like using a pool of Tp until it dries out)

He was now learning about the Gene engineer profession which also needs equipment to utilize.He had finished all the books in just a week, a day before he had to begin working again, cutting his play time by a lot.

The professor had come to congratulate him but saw that Darknym was a bit too anxious and hasty for some reason.

"Why so hasty out of a sudden?"

"You won't understand, the whole stress of my situation"

"Well probably yes, since I can't even understand how you revive every time, you Adventurers are truly strange, You could even be what I would call Immortals in our world"

"But that's only in your world, what if I lived in many worlds at the same time and every time I die and wait to respawn some other Adventurer becomes stronger and stronger pulling way ahead of me, even now as I wait here in another world some other adventurer becomes stronger, In the end I might even have to stay in one world only and If I have no stronghold here I will have to leave the world eventually and since I have already established a stronghold in another World, unless till the end of the month I set a powerful stronghold In this world, I will eventually be hunted down by other Adventurers and killed all the time for experience and Items"

It was the natural thing to happen in a Pk friendly world like Destros, anyone who hasn't joined a guild will die plenty of times and be robed of his Items.

It's been ten or more days since the Land raiders had been killed but that would only make them return in numbers, and with time they would find the lab. Their lightning staffs would fry most of the spider drones in minutes not to say the same would go for the rest of the equipment inside the lab.

"You really underestimate the lab's security, probably because by some twist of fate you found an Id device you think that the others will find one as well?"

He did remember the Id device but he couldn't understand what difference it would make if 20 or more players stormed the laboratory.

"You are telling me that if you are raided by the new Order your base will stand?"

The mechanical contraption that housed the brain stayed silent and then burst out.

"Do you think a single Scavenger can fight the full might of the new order?"

"Why do you think think I pass through

all this if I didn't think I could, but you don't even want to renovate your lab, do you"

"Well If I could I would but technology is something hard to get on this destroy planet"

"You just don't know how to do it"

"And what do you suggest"

"Three suggestions, to begin with catch some raiders and catch some henchmen, next find some Vault for technology and raw material, to create a stronghold inside, Last We have to train an army of cyborg mutant creatures that will serve and protect our HQ and base of operations"

The professor laughed and said

"Are you an Idiot, Raiders are mindless brutes, they won't even understand common language"

"Who said I need them to speak or understand, we simply have to make them obey"

"Well that's exactly the problem, they will just try to kill you and even If you capture on alive he won't care about anything other than killing you"

"Have you tried it?"

"Well no but it's pointless anyway"

"That's exactly what I don't like about you, you won't even try new things"

"But that's outside my or your specialty"

"And what is supposed to be my specialty, do you even know why I want to go deeper into gene engineering?"

"Well probably to become the most powerful mutant, no"

and he laughed self-satisfied

"And what do you define as the most powerful mutant?"

Darknym asked with a wicked smile

"Well able to kill anyone who opposes you, that's the only real power you can get anyway"

"Wrong, power is in controlling others, what I want is the power to manipulate someone who is strong enough to kill anyone without him even knowing he is controlled, I want to be the puppeteer, the mastermind behind loads of powerful mutants like the ones you described"

The professor didn't speak but Darknym could feel fear coming from the human part of the machine.

"So will you give me that power or will you retreat now that we are at the final path to me becoming something dangerous for you and maybe the whole world"

"If I had a choice and ability to kill you I would have done so but I still have one last experiment left for you to experience, if it works maybe you will be able to make your dream reality but know that you will suffer every second of your life until you reach high level"

"Is that all, just give me the next dozen of books already, but remember If the experiment goes wrong, It won't be only me suffering, you will be as well I will sent the whole new order after you, so that you know"

The professor took the ten books and threw another ten inside the prison.

"These are the last you will need to achieve the Genemage profession, but know that your threats fall short on me, I can just relocate if things get to the worst possible outcome but you cannot"

Darknym laughed and said

"I can log out any time I like unlike you who will live hunted for the rest of your life"

The professor just left without saying a word knowing deep inside that he had made a great mistake in choosing him as a test subject. He was too evil and too smart for his liking, he could probably take some raider and just mutate him but the possibilities, the potential of the specific scavenger was beyond most he had seen until now. That made him change his opinion on their entire race, making him want to establish some sort of contact with them but he was reluctant due to Darknym.

'If the others are as evil and power hungry as this one then it would be better to destroy my research afterwards'

He thought as he went to see how his daughter was doing at her lessons on becoming a researcher.

Seeing Darknym studying like crazy had made Ellie a bit interested in her father's profession but not enough to get as desperate about it as Darknym.

Darknym had begun reading as if his life depended on it, using his fast reading skill to slow time by a lot, making it almost ten times slower than real time.

He had reached a new rank in the researcher profession although it mostly involved the reading skills becoming more proficient and all the skills have to do with assembling and upgrading devices.

But he had reached the Pinnacle of genetics becoming a Genemage and without further rush he logged out and went to sleep, as tomorrow he had to go to work.
