The Cruel Attack of Artifact Hunters and Poisonous Monster Owners

Henry's Father: Are you alright?

Henry: I'm fine, Mia.

Mia: Yes, I'm fine.

Henry's Father: Well, I hope so.

Mia: (seriously) I need to tell you something. The artifact hunters are now also involved in an advanced virtual world called Mobile Fortress Battle (MFB).

Henry: Alright, explain it in detail, Mia.

Mia: Understand it well, I won't explain it twice.

Henry: Okay, buddy...

Mia: In this game, each level allows players to tame and maintain the cohesion with their monsters while utilizing various combat skills.

Grandfather Louis: (surprised) Is that true, Mia?

Mia: I'm absolutely serious.

Henry: What else besides taming and maintaining cohesion in the MFB game?

Mia: Secondly, when registering for this game, players receive a device in the form of a bracelet that is used to scan their monsters, allowing them to know the power, agility, attack skills, magic skills, defense of the monster, and its special characteristics.

Henry: What else?

Mia: Once the data on the monster's skills and characteristics is known, the owners can engage in simulated battles within the game with players from all around the world.

Grandfather Louis: (surprised) What is the purpose of these simulated battles in the game?

Mia: The purpose is to discover the weaknesses and strengths of the monsters. By doing so, when their monsters engage in real-world battles, they can measure their capabilities using the strategies and tactics recommended in the game.

Henry: Wow, so this is the reason why those who possess ancient artifacts with monsters from other dimensions are joining this VRMMORPG.

Mia: Yes, exactly. And when their monsters consistently win in the simulated battles, they level up in the game one by one.

Henry: And they will receive ancient artifact rewards with powerful monsters from the king when they reach level 102, right?

Mia: That's correct, Henry.

Grandfather Louis: What do they do with these skills in the real world?

Mia: They not only tame monsters, but they have another desire. They want to conquer all the monsters and dominate the world. It seems like this world is on the brink of destruction.

Henry: (with concern) How could they use the powers and skills they obtained from the game for evil purposes in the real world?

Henry's Father: This is truly worrisome. How can they be so greedy and unaware that their actions can lead to the destruction of the world we love?

Grandfather Louis: This is a sign that humans need to learn to understand and control the powers they acquire. Power should be used for good, not for selfish personal goals.

Mia: We need to do something to stop them, restore the true purpose of this game, and save the world from destruction.

Henry: I agree, Mia. We cannot let their evil desires to dominate the world destroy everything that is precious to us.

Henry's Father: We need to find a way to expose this truth to the world, so that people become aware of the looming threat.

Henry: Grandfather, what is the true meaning of that ancient prophecy?

Grandfather Louis: The ancient prophecy explains that the presence of ancient artifacts guarded by the strongest devils will open the door to the destruction of the world.

Henry: How is it possible for an artifact to possess such immense power?

Grandfather Louis: Those cursed artifacts are filled with the power of the strongest devils that can destroy everything.

Mia: So, the monsters attacking us are actually devils?

Grandfather Louis: (with a serious gaze) Yes, they are demons who transform into monsters, and they emerge from their dimension whenever an ancient artifact is discovered.

Mia: Why do these devils want to destroy humans so badly?

Grandfather Louis: The devils see humans as a threat to their existence and power. They want to fully dominate the Earth.

Henry: Is there a quick way to stop them?

Grandfather Louis: There is no quick way to solve this, my child. We have to gather all the ancient artifacts that possess terrifying monster powers and destroy the demonic forces within them. Then, we must return the ancient artifacts to their original resting places.

Henry: How can we track and gather these artifacts?

Grandfather Louis: It will be a dangerous and challenging journey. We have to explore hidden places, ancient structures, confront the owners of the monsters, and face unforeseen obstacles along the way.

Henry: Then how are there so many wild monsters out there?

Grandfather Louis: It's because the hunters discard the artifacts they find.

Henry: Why do they discard the artifacts?

Grandfather Louis: It's because the artifacts summon small-sized, seemingly weak and unappealing monsters from the mystical portals.

Henry: Then why don't they reopen the portals and return the monsters to their dimensions?

Grandfather Louis: Once the monsters descend to Earth, if they are returned through the mystical portals, they will descend again within two days. Monsters without a master will become wild and uncontrollable. They form monster colonies, destroying settlements, attacking, and killing humans.

Henry: Abandoning the ancient artifacts is an irresponsible act. So, what is my role in this mission?

Grandfather Louis: You possess undiscovered powers and the ability to fight against the forces of the monsters. You are our last hope. Because every evil power will inevitably bring forth a good power in due time. You are the chosen one, Henry.

Henry: I am ready to fulfill this task, Grandfather. How do we begin?

Grandfather Louis: We will seek allies who possess the necessary abilities and form a strong team. Then, we will explore dangerous locations, dungeons, confront the wicked owners of ancient artifacts, tame and defeat the ancient artifacts with their terrifying monster powers.

Mia: As far as I know, there are currently seven owners of ancient artifacts with powerful guardian monsters. We have to be able to seize those ancient artifacts from them and defeat their guardian monsters.

Grandfather Louis: That's good information, my sweet girl. Because to find the key artifacts, we have to explore the world and conquer the guardian monsters who possess above-average powers.

Mia: The key artifacts? What are they, Grandfather? (Mia asks curiously)

Grandfather: When you embark on adventures with Henry, someday you will find out, Mia.

Henry: Do we have a chance to save this world?

Grandfather Louis: The chance is slim, but if we fight together with strong determination, there is hope to change the fate of the world.

Henry: I will do everything to prevent that prophecy from becoming a reality. I promise.

Henry's Father: Yes, my child, I believe you can do it.

Grandfather Louis: I believe in you, my grandson. Prepare yourself for a dangerous journey, but we will face it together.

A scream shattered the silence of that night, shaking the momentary stillness that enveloped the city. Henry, Mia, and Henry's Father rushed to the window of their house, their hearts pounding with anxiety. Outside, a shocking sight unfolded before their eyes. Several people were seen holding shimmering silver ancient artifacts, floating gracefully in the air, emanating a captivating aura. One particular ancient artifact caught their attention, a 30cm-long staff emitting a mesmerizing light.

Henry turned to Mia, his eyes filled with questions and concern. "Mia, who are they? What are they doing with those ancient artifacts?" Mia took a deep breath, her voice trembling with fear as she answered, "They are evil rulers who are ambitious to conquer the world with the power of these artifacts. They possess terrifying monsters ready to obey their commands."

Henry's father stepped closer to them with determined steps, his sharp gaze filled with worry. "We have to be cautious. They are incredibly dangerous enemies and won't hesitate to use the power of the artifacts to achieve their evil goals," Henry's father said, his voice shaking. Henry felt his strength being dampened by uncertainty. "But what can we do? We only have one artifact and this small dragon."

Mia looked at Henry with determined eyes. "We have to find a way to gather more artifacts and seek allies who can help us fight against them. We cannot let them control the ancient artifacts and use them for evil." Henry shook his head, worry etched on his face. "But how can we stop them? They seem so powerful."

Henry's father gently lifted Henry's chin, his gaze filled with trust. "True power lies not only in the artifacts but also in our determination and unity. If we stand together and harness the power we possess, we can fight against them." Henry looked at the shimmering artifact, doubt lingering in his heart. "We have to protect this artifact. It is our only hope to defeat them when this dragon grows up."

Mia: Henry, it turns out you already have an artifact?

Henry: Yes, Mia, I just obtained this bowl-shaped artifact. But the guardian monster for this artifact is still small.

Mia: Alright, but this is not the right time to discuss it. You should hurry and protect the artifact. Before we face trouble with the artifact hunters who possess powerful monsters.

Henry's father tightly held Henry's hand. "Henry, you are our greatest hope. Be the hero that this world needs." Henry took a deep breath, filling his chest with courage. "I won't let you down. I will fight against these evil artifact owners and uphold justice."

The sun was still hidden on the horizon as they prepared to leave, stepping towards the door. Suddenly, in an instant, the atmosphere turned into a terrifying darkness.

A dreadful monster with five sharp horn like swords stepped forward from the shadows. Its eyes glowed with uncontrollable ferocity, surprising Henry, Mia, Grandfather Louis, and Henry's father who were unprepared. In a flash, the monster seized Mia and Grandfather Louis with a swift and mesmerizing move. Not only that, Henry's father was also ensnared by the monster's tail, coiling around them with unstoppable force.

Henry, unwilling to be overwhelmed by fear, took a courageous stance. In an instant, he realized that this monster had four hands, each holding a massive hammer. With blazing bravery, he raised his hand and blocked the monster's attacks with all his might.

The sound of a heavy collision shattered the silence around them. Henry managed to withstand the monster's hammers with the energy power in his hands, but his body trembled under the pressure and the incredible strength of the monster. However, he would not give up so easily.

Meanwhile, Mia and Grandfather Louis were trapped in the grip of the monster's tail. They struggled in desperation, but the grip tightened, and no apparent way out could be seen. The two of them exchanged deep, worried glances, searching for a way to fight against the monster that threatened their lives.

Henry looked at them with growing despair. In a dire situation, he suddenly felt a fiery spirit ignite within him. With a swift motion, he launched a kick towards the monster's chest, disregarding fear and uncertainty.

Starlight reflected the gleam of his determination as he ran towards the monster. Despite being in a difficult position, Henry did not give up. With the remaining courage and strength, he sought to free Mia, Grandfather Louis, and his father from the deadly grip of the monster's coiling tail.

Adrenaline surged through Henry's body as he fought against the monster with all his might. His attacks repeatedly struck the monster, attempting to break the deadly grip that held Mia and Grandfather Louis. Seconds turned into minutes, filled with relentless ferocity.

In that dramatic moment, Henry managed to break free from the monster's tail grip with his final punch. Stumbling, Mia, Grandfather Louis, and his father were released from the deadly clutches. They fell to the ground, gasping for breath, but they were safe.

Henry, despite his exhaustion and wounds, didn't stop fighting. He stood with unwavering determination, staring at the now angrier and more ferocious monster. The battle was not over, and he wouldn't retreat until he defeated the monster.

Under the light of a few stars and the moon, the dramatic scene of the battle continued. The monster with its five sharp horn like a swords, glowing red eyes, and deadly coiled tail faced Henry, who stood with bravery and resolve. The clash of weapons and angry roars filled the air, creating an unforgettable scene in the battle between darkness and light.
