Mark rested over his bed after a tiring day of work. He had been suddenly invited by Elayne to her family's house in the incoming week, it was something absolutely insane for him to think about, and he had been sitting for the next half an hour thinking about it.
Elayne was rather clumsy to have suddenly invited him out of nowhere, and Mark felt like she had committed a mistake, just like before, but that she simply didn't back down from it.
Mark felt actually bad because he felt like he was abusing Elayne's clumsiness… But it would only make her sadder if he rejected her, even more, he was interested in her romantically, so it was not something he could really miss at all.
"Well, I will make up for it by bringing a lot of stuff for her parents… Wow, I am actually going to meet her parents… How do I even introduce myself? As their daughter's boss? No, that would be awful, it would be better as their daughter's friend, right?
But even that's weird… If they're too old and think that adult women and men can't form friendships… they'll immediately think we are in some sort of relationship… Ah, old people is always so annoying . W-Well, not like I am saying Elayne's parents are bad." Thought Mark, as he did several chores around his department until he took a nice bath and went to bed, of course, not to sleep.
"Now that I finally got free time I should play a few hours before taking a nap… It feels like ages since the last time I played a lot. I wonder where might Planta and Achlys be in all of this… They're like the only friends I've made." Sighed Mark, putting the headset on and starting the game.
In mere seconds, he found himself inside the game world, looking around at the beautiful clear sky filled with stars and the shining silver moon. The forest was not completely dark, as bioluminescent moss decorated everything with light everywhere. Colorful flowers and also animals of all types wandered about. Monsters as well, but they feared his presence, he was rather high level after all.
"Hahh… Back to town… Now what should I do?"
Mark checked his own Status, finding out that he was currently Level 19/19 for both Race and Class. He was near his evolution as well as his Class Change. And he simply needed to hunt a few more monsters to achieve that. However, he had grown to enjoy time with his two new friends from this world, who were also two beautiful mature ladies whose avatars showed a lot of skin.
Of course, aside from their eye candy appearance, they were the nicest people he had ever meet in a MMO game before, and were incredible, especially Planta, who seemed to have an insane Title that let her grant Quests to others.
He knew that Planta with such a Title might as well be an endless generator of fun to have in the game, even if he was still in the low-level starting area, there might be something interesting going on with her around. He quickly decided to check his friend list, finding both her and Achlys online.
"Nice… I'll send them a message to see where they are- Eh?"
[Player: Planta] has requested your assistance in an important [Special Quest]!]
[By aiding her in completing this quest, you will acquire special items, EXP, Gold, and Unique Evolution and Class Change Options, alongside the Rare Subclasses!]
"W-WHAT?! Already with something insane?!" Mark couldn't help but scream in surprise, almost falling into the floor with his enormous and bulky body, he continued reading the Quest information in detail, learning that Planta was currently jailed inside the Fairy Kingdom! The Quest even gave him info about where to go to enter the place, and even told him what he should do as a recommendation.
Without doubting, he immediately accepted the quest while smiling a bit.
"Haha, I can't believe she just got herself in such a big mess! And the Snake Queen, huh? Seems like an interesting challenge for tonight…" Said Mark, immediately beginning to run through the woods, using his enormous body, which was mostly hollow inside, he was able to leap several meters with each step and move across more rapidly than people would think such a big body could do.
He quickly sent a few chat messages to Elayne and Achlys to tell them he was getting there.
"And done, with this they should know they can count on me- Eh?!"
However, Mark was suddenly interrupted as he got closer to the waterfalls, suddenly finding an enormous quantity of snake monsters moving towards that very direction, there were even enormous high level Miasmic Beasts mixed into the snakes, all working together to reach the Fairy Kingdom.
"They're already here? And so many! These are hundreds! The Quest said the Snake Queen sent only a single army, does she has many more?!" Wondered Mark, quickly realizing there were hundreds of Fairies flying atop the skies, overseeing the enormous quantity of snakes.
Suddenly, fireballs, icicle spears, and boulders began to fall from the sky, conjured by the fairies, and crushing many snakes at the same time.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Wow…! Do they even need help?" Wondered Mark, as he saw the fairies doing just fine by themselves… until something more frightening emerged.
An enormous body emerged amidst the darkness of the night, crushing trees with its very body, a gigantic, purple-scaled snake with two heads appeared, with sharp red-shot eyes and several spikes decorating its back, it was a frightening creature!
[The [Giant Dark Miasma Snake Commander: Lv25 (ELITE)] has appeared!]
[Defeat the Boss Monster to continue the Quest's Storyline]
"What? This thing is Level 25?! That level is even higher than the Mushroom Hero from back then!" Thought Mark, quickly feeling surprised by the might of the beast, only to find a group of valiant Mushrooms, around ten of them, moving through the woods and chasing down the snakes! "Wait, aren't those guys…?"
