A Failed Raid

The blood-dyed land. A cold yet barren wasteland filled with mountain of white corpse with wings. A silhoutte of a young man was covered with blood his clothe was tattered and his spear tip broke. He was surrounded by a group of people that was dressed in full armor which emits stunning light and definitely look outstanding and extravagant. It looks pretty sturdy with a divine light shrouded the armor. these people has wings on its back.

Floating in mid-air. Instead of divine light of salvation, they emits a cold yet murderous aura. In the dark sky, A handsome man stood with its wings flapping, producing wind that could blow people away.

The angelic figure Point it's sword on the young man 10 meters apart from each other it spoke in a nordic language,

"give up now human, how dare you intrude the Holy lands of the gods"

The young man could understand it as the game system will automatically translate it to it's befitting language. He stared at the person with four wings at its back. The person was called ardelion, the famous general of 9th heavens order and an archangel who follows the will of it's god.

This was only a mini boss of the current plane but it's power was comparable to the demigods. In a the superior plane called asgard. the plane is where many heavenly kingdoms of gods located. The center of it lived a mythological world tree of life called yggdrasil.

There was a certain person who accidentally discovered the coordinate of the plane. At first it was only a theory but later on proof have show up. That person was sage relios, he was an avid game streamer with many successful strategy guides and various findings in different games he played. This proof of asgards existence was already been published in the game's community years ago. But a year ago, he quit playing the game all of the sudden like he suddenly disappeared. It's a long time now since the last time he's active and many of his strategy guide is still everpopular.

The young man opened his status window and saw the clock like icon. It was already 4am, near the clock was his name "mark06", he didn't use a nickname nor did he include his last name and simply put his first name into it with a number.

And down it was his Health point which is only 1% while his mana point was down to drain. His skills was unable to used because of the lack of mana.

Mark stand up and pick up the sword nearby him which was used by his comrade in the guild. Though the place which was once a land of fertility and light was dyed with blood forming a river of blood. It wasn't his comrades body that was lying since virtual body will dissappear bit by bit when they die but blood will still come out when health point was lost. It might even be possible that every cut of a sharp blade has a possibility to cause a status abnormality such as bleeding. On the ground it was the bodies of the angels and some few demigods like it was a neverending massacre.

In the guild. Which were the red flag guild. Supposedly all of them counted a million and a half players who join the campaign be it guild members or not. Because it was such a huge event with a high risk high rewards. Levels of participants ranging 80 to 200 while the guild leader of red flag was a higher ranker of level 200 higher. Mark himself was only level 107 and was a member of the guild.

He only survived till the last since he was placed in the rearest part of the 5th legion which is the last legion who fought the last battle. Everyone was reorganize as a legion by the leader of the expedition, granbell_rice was his game Id. With the help of the system and his assistant he could easily sort out and place the participants anywhere he wish.

At the moment he touched the sword with an urged to draw it as it was his final fight till defeat. Ardelion started to advance towards him while shouting in a murderous tone,

"since your seeking death then, die!"

Ardellion swiftly swing his sword but in a fortunate moment of persistence. Mark used his last skill which didn't required mana to deflict the strike but he won't be able to use it for another time for this fight. The skill was called 'perfect parry' which activate after using 'swift blade' which mark previously used before his spear broke. It deflected ardellion strike.

"you persistence is futile!" furiously shouted.

"Shut up, you avian half-breed!" annoyedly spoke pridefully while smiling for the fun of fighting people that are stronger than him.

Mark failed to deflect the last hit but he manage to slightly injured ardellion, he smile before his head explode with a single thrust of ardellion's sword. Mark's virtual body turn into a bunch of data and dissappear. It also the case for the plane of asgard, it reseted.

in a mere second he saw himself in a familiar white room without anything besides the whiteness and the system interface. And it's always an empty room. Only him alone was standing with his new virtual body. Then a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding, you have died..player mark06 will be unable to play online adventure mode within the allotted time of 7 days"

The letters on the screen vanished and was replaced by a timer and a moving hourglass.

"looks like i have to get ready for school, never knew that plane mobs was very strong compared to the plane we recently conquered last month. Oh well, never mind its guild leader's problem either we failed"

Mark muttered the status window in his mind, clicked the word "log-out" in the blue screen interface then he subconscious closed his eyes and faint voice, could be heard in his mind.

"logging out"
