Felix placed the matter at the back of his mind, as he immediately started the game.
This time, he appeared in the centre of a hall densely packed with various people accepting various quests here and there. He immediately knew they were players based on their equipment and actions.
On a wall was a huge board with various screens appearing and disappearing at a rapid pace following the transport of some players to who knows where.
[Easy Stage Quest - Find A Couple Of Redstone Ore Located At The Centre Of The -Redhill Mine-]
[Normal Stage Quest - Defeat A Wild Iron Golem Running Rampant In The Outskirts Of The Light Tower]
[Hard Stage Quest - Find The Source Of A Large Influx Of Wild Chaotic Energies In -Soul Realm-]
Felix was intrigued by the various quests on the board. He kept finding one suitable for him when his eyes fell on a massive familiar screen.
[General Quest - Destroy The Lair Of The Dark Phoenix]
[Quest Information - A large otherworldly monster had invaded and taken control of a local town east of Steel Dragon Temple]
[–Rewards–]
[Dragon Respect +2%] [Phoenix Enmity +30%] [+1 Random Weapon Chest]
–Players For General Quest–
[Active Players - 6] [Offline Players - 4] [Killed Players - 2] [Retreated Players - 8]
[Chance Of Victory - 75%]
'Well, I guess that this will be the quest I'll take after all. Maybe grab some opportunities and kills from others as well.' Felix said as he swatted away a fly headed in his direction, killing it immediately.
[You Have Killed A Housefly!]
[Heroic Experience +100]
[+1% Grace] [+10% Fly Enmity]
Felix blinked in shock...
100 Experience from killing a fly, that's...
F*ck, am I now God's chosen one with a cheat existence in a game to make me grow stronger?
"Forget about that for now. I accept the general quest!" Felix exclaimed with a smile as he immediately accepted the general quest.
[–Quest Begun!–]
[–Join Team–]
[Dark Soul Hunting Team - Join?] [Thunder Grasping Exploration Team - Join?] [King Grade Hunters Team - Join?]
[–Create New–]
Felix was hesitant for a while. He could either join a team or create one of his own... both were extremely difficult ideas for abandon as they each came with their pros and cons.
In someone's team, his mortality rate will be shortened and his safety accounted, but his rewards would be limited. Someone like Felix wasn't going to let any thing resourceful go despite being real or not.
If he had his own team, his rewards would skyrocket! Despite the danger level being significantly high, Felix would face them!
He wasn't a spineless coward! He could head into a sea of flames if he could reap exceedingly great profits.
He decided against joining another person's team, and started the process for creating his own.
Felix lazily named his new team Golden Phantom Team which sounded pretty cool coming from his lips. He then set the maximum number of legal members to (50), and the team leader to be himself.
[Team - Golden Phantom Team]
[Leader - Psychic]
[–Members–]
[Maximum Legal Members - 50] [Active Members - 1] [Inactive Members - 0] [Total Members - 1]
[Team Grade - Solo]
Seeing the number '1' which stood for himself mostly in all the screens made Felix heart ache. He was now back to square 1, a loner.
One day, this daddy will have the greatest gaming faction ever!
He was about to close all the windows when a shocking screen surprisingly appeared before his face.
[@Thundra Has Requested To Join Your Team!]
[@Flaming Maiden Has Requested To Join Your Team!]
[@Demon Slayer Has Requested To Join Your Team!]
'Huh?'
Felix was dumbstruck as the words 'Why???' was practically written in his eyes. He immediately accepted the request of Flaming Maiden and Thundra without giving much, but... Demon Slayer?
Wasn't this the arrogant bald old player that challenged him lately? As for how he knew, it was always an arrogant bald old uncle that challenges newbies.
Felix was thinking of Byflex.
'I could use this opportunity to see who it really is that dares to challenge me. The great Phychic who levels up by killing flies and logging into the game!' Felix thought before accepting Demon Slayer's request with a cold smirk. It seems like gaming is affecting his thought process...
Soon enough he'll become like Jacob a gaming fanatic. Oh no.
[+2 Team Members - Team Grade Upgraded To -Trio-!]
[Team Reputation +10%] [Team Overall Strength +30%]
After finally closing the screens, Felix made a strange action. He opened his hand and grabbed an invisible object before pulling back his arm.
In the next moment, he felt a slight chill coming from his palm. He smirked even more coldly as he felt the familiar coldness of his energy pistol.
'Time to showcase the true of the great and mighty player Psychic!' Felix thought as he instantly closed his eyes in preparation for the instant transportation.
In the next split second, Felix's figure completely disappeared from sight.
----
Hearing the sound of howling wind around him, Felix lazily opened his eyes only to find himself staring straight at the edge of a mountain!
The mountain before his eyes was relatively tall, with a huge cyclone blowing around the top. Ice was seen enveloping the ground, while countless hailstones were being hailed down to earth from the sky.
He was witnessing an Ice-calamity... was the Dark Phoenix really that strong?
Felix subconsciously looked down with a frown, only to find himself standing on the top of another mountain which was covered in a frighteningly spreading layer of frost.
Holy Cow!
He was about to leap off when he felt someone grab his arm. The person had a soft grip, and judging from the person's slender fingers, it might be a woman.
"You idiot, don't step off the mountain or the deadly wind blades will instantly tear you to pieces." A girl's cold and silvery voice from behind Felix immediately calmed the storm brewing within his heart.
It seemed like the spreading ice on the top of the mountain wasn't harmful to humans at all, and the howling wind from earlier were frighteningly wind blades!
Whether it was from a deviant or mutant, a wind blade had the ability to tear apart the upper layer of a person's skin! If that wasn't true, home come Felix was unable to engage Avira in a melee?
After witnessing the power of the wind blade attack from Avira, Felix was greatly vigilant towards the strange girl grabbing on to his arm.
What if she tossed him off the mountain? Wouldn't he immediately die?
He immediately turned around to face the girl, but was petrified in place as the stunning view immediately froze his mind.
The girl grabbing unto his hand was a very cute girl around Felix's age judging from her temperament, and avatar age. She had her sparkling black hair tied back in a ponytail with a black metal band which had intricate golden runes on it, while letting two strands of hair loose on both sides of her head.
She was wearing an airtight black suit with two enchanting bat-like wings flapping lazily behind her back. Her blazing gold eyes, and alluring pink lips made Felix's knees go numb and shoulders feel heavy...
[Demon Hunter Had Come In Contact With The Team Leader!]
'F**K! This is the arrogant and cold Demon Hunter who had challenged me to a duel?!' Felix cursed in his head as he stared at Demon Hunter longer.
When he had received that challenge, the only picture of his challenger that he imagined was a bald old uncle who was bored out of his wits and decided to bully the younger generation, but this...
She should be Demon Hunting Temptress instead, I feel like my heart has been stolen...
Why do I feel as if I am truly heavenly blessed by God? Is this the effect of Dark Heroism?
Since Demon Hunter isn't some insufferable old uncle, and Flame Maiden might have an 80% chance of being a hot and sexy woman, that means that I might have three enchanting ladies as my team members...
My own personal har- ahem, team!
Felix felt like collapsing into his fantasy world as he dreamt of various ladies satisfying his every need without questioning him...
Am I really chosen by God to bring happiness to this insufferable apocalyptic world?
Ahem... one should focus at the problems ahead first. It's not healthy to delve into one's perverted thoughts.
"So you're Demon Hunter? I'm Psychic, the one you challenged to a duel." Felix introduced himself with a smile as he reached out his hand for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you." Demon Hunter surprisingly grabbed Felix's hand and shook it firmly with a calm and bewitching smile.
"Whoa, the both of you got along fairly nicely. Thundra, I don't think you'll need to separate any more fights today." A tall slender lady wearing a short red dress said as she appeared on the mountain with Thundra beside her.
"Hello Team Leader, I'm the Flaming Maiden." The girl in the red dress introduced herself with a smile as she walked to Psychic with Thundra following behind her.
She wasn't as voluptuous as Thundra, but her slender physique gave her a unique charm. Her black hair was allowed to flow down her shoulders, while a pair of black glasses were on her face.
Felix felt his mouth turn dry, and his throat parched as he was basking in the feeling of being surrounded by three heavenly goddesses.
I knew I made the right choice by not joining another useless team! How would I, the great Felix enjoy such a feast in another team? Cough cough, too much harem novels is corrupting my soul...
Ahem, let's deal with the quest or I won't be able to conquer the hearts of these ladies... ahem!
"Okay, where do we start from?" Felix said as he rubbed his palm against each other excitedly only to receive three dumb stares back in response.
"..."
