Euphoria

-----

On that particular day, a video from a Dryad/Farmer Newbie named Planta was uploaded to the Live Ranker System, a video that showed her summoning Land Spirits with Spirit Magic, crushing dozens of monsters at Level 6, and even one-shotting a Dark beast Boss. For many players, all these monsters were easy to deal with, they were low level trash mobs, but the surprising thing was that they were defeated incredibly easily by someone at Level 6… Such a level of destructiveness has only been achieved by players that reach Levels above 100, where they begin to clean entire maps with their skills to gain EXP more effectively.

Not only that, but she was able to channel the power of various Spirits that shared part of her power as a Spirit herself, and ended up gaining some of her passive effects, like having their strength enhanced in the forest, amongst many things. As if this wasn't enough, she had used Spirit Enhancement several times, making a brand-new type of Spirit which she named "Land God".

This Land God was almost 30 meters big, and it easily crushed the rest of the mobs and even a Boss with a single hit. If this player were to advance further in leveling, she would become a Ranker for sure, and what's worse, she also gained the Legendary Warrior and the Solo Slayer, Titles that many Players are working so hard to get at Level 7!

In fact, there were less than 50 Players with Legendary Warrior! Surely, such an insane feat of power must be some sort of glitch or bug in the game, right? The entire public of the game had mixed opinions, some found her cute, others were completely enraged by her and what she did, and some other people began to discuss the possibilities of a "Dryad Metagame".

The video, in just a few hours after its upload, ended with over a million views, and they were increasing constantly. Alongside that, the channel that uploaded it, the player Planta, gained over ten thousand subscribers through these little hours, although she had yet to set up a membership, as that was only allowed for players above Level 100.

Various threads started between players, as they all talked about the mysterious newbie.

[Psycho69: Yo, what the fuck was that?]

[Brandon78: Psycho don't say slurs, it's in the rules!]

[Seth56: I just saw the new video about this new player… "Planta", a peculiar name. It is insane what she has done. Is she a returning player that is playing around with mechanics that she discovered before making this new avatar?]

[ChainsOfSteelX: Most likely, that's what most people think, she might be a returning player or something, or perhaps there's a possibility she's a GM testing some new Skills]

[PigHead: Has anyone ever used Dryads? And what's her Job Class anyways?]

[Don'tTouchMeIamDelicate: Dryads? Those are new Races from the latest patch, there's barely less than a dozen players and they're all casual noobs. Her Job Class? It says in her bio that she's a Farmer, LOL]

[Psycho69: DRYAD AND FARMER? THE FUCK? WHO'S THIS BITCH ANYWAYS?]

[Psycho69 has been banned from this thread]

[Seth56: Thank you Brandon, that guy was pretty disgusting, probably some teenager that still plays Call of Duty or something]

[PigHead: Anyways, A Dryad and a Farmer? I have never heard of such a combination. Aren't Farmers a very bad Job Class? They're new from the latest patch after the giant worm died, they're supposed to be an all-rounder production-based class that doesn't specialize in nothing other than raising plants, how come that Job Class can do anything?]

[ChainsOfSteelX: Also, Dryads aren't supposed to be just Forest-locked or they're pretty bad? I guess she was in a forest so it makes sense? So she can only do that in a forest? I suppose her build has an initial impact but can't do much late-game when she has to eventually move out of the forest]

[Don'tTouchMeIamDelicate: You're talking as if there wasn't any mid-game or late-game forest areas, there are dozens, I hate the Dark Swamp Forest and the Frost Spike Forest, but they're all forests at the end, do they apply too? If so, she can still progress just fine… Damn, could you imagine her in the Dark Miasma Forest? Isn't that where the new World Boss is located? Holy sh*t.]

[Seth56: I have checked the Job Class through forums and datamined game info, and yeah, it works with any Map named "Forest" anything goes as long as it is a Forest… Is Dryad secretly an overpowered Race? Ah… Have I been wasting my time playing as a Dragonkin this entire time? Well, Dryad are female-only so I would need the male option, Ents… And those guys have a completely different playstyle]

[Brandon78: Hold on for a second, you're telling me that this overpowered Race is locked for females only? Damn it, why can't the event where you could get that Sex Change Coupon can come back? Some of my friends turned into girls with that item and could possibly make Dryads too!]

[ChainsOfSteelX: That event was too popular, every guy wanted to play as a girl to do lewd stuff. They're probably not bringing it back bro]

[PigHead: Anyways, what she used was… Spirit Magic? Right?]

[AxelWorld17: Yes, she used that. I have not seen anyone with that Skill, it seems to be different from Druids Skills, Magic cannot be acquired through Job Changes so they're often unique to a small group of Races, Green Magic and Spirit Magic are unique to Dryads, Ent, and other Spirit Classes from the other elements… They are rare because Spirit Classes always depend on the terrain, and that's annoying to level up and do bosses quickly]

[SkullFace00: I think I am in love, man, she's way too beautiful too. She's strong and beautiful, what else do you even want in a woman? Look at her body, she's so sexy! Is she really like that in real life? Items that can change appearance are super rare after all]

[Brandon78: Refrain from making statements like that, you're a pile of bones but you're the horniest so far…]

[SkullFace00: Well… We could say I… got a boner]

[SkullFace00 has been temporarily kicked from the thread]

[ChainsOfSteelX: Isn't he your friend?]

[Brandon78: That's why I only kicked him]

Threads like these emerged all over the game, players constantly talked about the new and beautiful player that had come to the game, not only she had an amazing potential and was one of the less than 50 Legendary Warriors, but she was also a newbie with incredible beauty. In the game it was impossible for a person to change their appearance that much aside from the predefined appearance changes brought by Races, people's real appearance was scanned by the game and their new bodies were made in that image, this was also why people can't normally be of their opposite gender unless they used some sort of special item that showed up only once in an old event at the launch of the game.

Although there were also some beautiful women and handsome men that were quite popular in the game, even some famous people that played it for clout but were mostly ignored, she was a newbie and didn't seemed to be anyone famous either, nobody could recognize her face, as she was mostly covered in leaves that were making up her "hair". However, her wide curves, beautiful slender legs and arms, and the trait that most men were howling like hungry wolves for, her big pair of breasts, were becoming very popular.

Elayne's daughter and her friend also noticed this Player and even Mark, but they didn't recognized her face due to being covered through the entire video.Not to mention that the character profile didn't show the face of the player, and there was even a function that made your face unrecognizable by making it slightly different from real life, so people couldn't recognize you and you could play without worries.

"This new player is insane, who even plays Dryad and Farmer?" Elena asked as she sat over a half dead Red-skinned Ogre in her Avatar.

A cute girl with blazing red hair and a giant phoenix at her side laughed.

"Isn't she fun? Maybe I'll send her a friend request. I would like to nurture such a cool newbie," said the girl, Anna.

"Anna, you're too busy to waste your time like that. Also I bet the developers are banning that."

"Hmm? I have never seen the developers do any change to the game aside from new patches and stuff, they just leave all the glitchy stuff, are they lazy, maybe?"

"Huh…"

Meanwhile, within a council in a different place, there were various figures sitting around an enormous round table made of gray stone. Each figure resembled a being composed purely of elements; they were… the Game Masters. They sat over enormous chairs made of gray stone as well, and their sizes were gigantic, they were Gods amongst men in the game. Indeed, the Avatars of the Game Masters were the Gods of the world themselves…

One of such Gods spoke about what had occurred, it resembled an enormous volcano, constantly releasing hot magma everywhere, and being covered by eternal divine flames, it had a giant crown made of glowing red crystals over the volcano, and two terrifying eyes engraved into the volcano.

"The Dryads… They're very Rare Heralds of the Gods, Gaia, you created them, was this within your plans?"

"I did… All Spirits have the same potential, I don't think what she did was unfair to the rules… You Gods know this very well, we don't have much time to go leisurely about balance…"

A woman with a beautiful appearance, made entirely out of wood, plants, flowers, fruits, vegetables, tubers, and more spoke with an air of tranquility.

"Hmm… Indeed, we have never truly "nerfed" anything yet, because we believe it is unnecessary," said the God of Fire. "But this… Could any other player do the same within the Spirit category?"

The Gods began to discuss with one another for some time, they all shared their own opinions on the matter, but the will of Gaia was unwavering, and they couldn't really change her mind, at the end, because they respected the eldest of their sisters, they let the Dryad be.

"Very well, we shall not touch her."

"Thank you, brothers and sisters… I am sure that this girl is special this time… She's not really interested in leveling, she only likes to make people happy, and even her motivation to come to this world was very peculiar, she wants to grow closer to her daughter," said Gaia. "She has a virtuous heart… I think she's the one I've been waiting for so long."

"I see… Well, let's wait and see…"

"The fate of our fragmenting world…"

"May lay in the hands of these brave people…"

"And perhaps, even the future of their own world."
