"I can finally start leveling up." Ark muttered as he looked at the strange mark that he received from the two nuns at the Nameless Convent.
He looked at the mark and found that it looked weird, but the two nuns assured him that it will change his destiny. He did not know what that meant but it could mean that it might be a skill that affected luck. Upon thinking so, he grinned as skills like that are definitely rare, but the unknown description is pretty much an outlier.
"I need to look for a party so it would be easier to level up." Ark muttered as he started to look for people to party with.
"Are you looking for a party as well?" A voice from behind Ark.
Ark looked behind and saw a dark elf player with a bow. He did not think so much as the player in question is also at level one. Levels are not hidden in the starting village which is why they can still see each other's level.
"I do not mind but I think we should add one more so that we can at least take on groups of monsters." Ark asked to which the dark elf archer named Pana agreed.
They wanted to search for a member that is a mage or a priest, but it seems that others are already part of a group or just waiting for their other friends to change job classes. In the end, they saw a girl wearing the basic summoning equipment clutching a red lizard.
"Hi! My name is Ark, and this is Pana. We are actually looking for one more member for our party so we can take on groups of monsters. Are you available for our party? We are in need of one more manpower and it seems you are a summoner." Ark stated but he is already practically almost bowing.
"Many are fighting in parties right now because of the experience buff. If you are not yet in a party, can you join us?" Pana asked but he is internally getting a panic attack since he is not used to being socially invested on people, he met for the first time.
"Ok then." Basil accepted as she is also looking for a party anyways. There have been others that wanted to let her join but her beloved soulbound named that she named as Pyro would shoo them away. It is only Ark and Pana where Pyro became a bit docile. This is the start of the meeting of three of the future Six Stars of Demise.
Due to the success of the Pandelympics, Pandemonium skyrocketed in popularity even more. The game is no longer unpopular to the older generation as it made them want to relive being young again. The elderly gaming population of the game increased while the younger generation basically tripled in number.
As a reward for the success of Pandelympics, players in the game are given a month-long double experience booster. New players get triple experience points until they reach level 100 so they can catch up to the veteran team. The grind for levels continued even more as the lower level players learned of the cool level 200 skills that they can learn.
Adrian is one of the people that devoted to leveling up to 200 as he needed to become stronger than he is now. There are still two missions that he needs to clear which are the Festival of the Dragon King and the Goddess of Night's Request.
He wanted to evolve Kanlaon immediately when he got the items for evolution, but Pann basically hit him on the head. Pann told him that only an idiot will attempt to evolve an elemental dragon in a place that there are basically no elements except for time and space. He wanted to evolve Kanlaon at the Paradox Planes, but Pann told him that he cannot as it could result in a failure.
Since Pann basically threw him out of the Paradox Planes, Adrian needed to find a place that is perfect for Kanlaon's evolution. He needed to find a secretive place with lots of elemental energy present since Kanlaon will wield all elements.
"Should I just look for Heaven instead? A place like that in the real world is basically impossible as the dragons would surely feel the energy that Kanlaon will release." Adrian muttered to himself as he continuously muttered the word 'real world'.
Just as he is about to have the migraine of his life, he suddenly shot upwards because he learned of a brilliant yet reckless idea. Only someone insane or a complete genius would come up with the idea that Adrian has.
"If a place in the real world like that does not exist then what about a dungeon?" Adrian thought as he immediately looked for the elven elders.
The elves are more perceptive when it comes to nature. He did consider evolving Kanlaon on Alfheim but not everyone is welcoming there. In the end, his choices are limited because of the instability of the rulers. His only option is that of a dungeon that is rich in the elements as he feared that Kanlaon might die if a bothersome powerhouse were to meddle.
Adrian consulted the elven elders but even they cannot perfectly point Adrian to a dungeon with such requirements. A place filled with fire, earth, water, wind, light and darkness is not really a place that can be easily located. He would have given up but the oldest among the dark elves could think of a place, but the other elders shuddered when they heard the name of the place.
"A place called the Chaotic Springs. Where is that located in the world?" Adrian asked but the other elders told him to not go there because the place is certainly not something that should be visited. The Chaotic Springs are really what the name implies because it is the most random place in the world.
