1.5 All Eyes on Her

JackAttack: 1 down. 4 to go. You can do it, Scarlett. The Whole class is cheering you on.

Phoenix Wing: Congratulations for passing the first trial. 1/5. Hope to see you make it through.

President Blackburn: Congratulations BloodMoon for passing the 1st test but what awaits you will only get harder. Hopefully you don't disappoint me.

Phoenix Wing: Holy Sh*t, was that the president of Dogma Gaming? This is... way bigger than I thought.

When President Blackburn joined the stream, the chat went into a frenzy. The viewer count also reached 15 million.

While the chat was going crazy, Scarlett had just sat down to take a rest to recover her stamina. While she was resting, the voice sounded out again. "Congrats. You passed the first trial. Take a 10 minute break and grab the the equipment on the table. Your assassination target is Duke Franz Remulos. Do it quickly, do it cleanly, do it quietly. You may start when you're ready.

After 10 minutes, my stamina recovered an acceptable amount and I walk over towards the table. On table are 20 lockpicks, 10 units of sleep powder, 10 units of flash powder and and poison for my dagger.

I take all of it and I am instantly transported to a forest again bit this time, In my sight there is a mansion with guards posted all over. I decide to wait till I get a little closer befor activating stealth. I use a the breath minizing technique my father taught me when I was younger to minimize my presence and sneak towards the wall with no problems. As soon as I get to the wall, I activate stealth and look go towards the window. I open the window and see that it leads to the kitchen. After getting in, I see a chef and a servant and the servant take the food from the chef. After the chef give the servant the food. "Send the food to the duke and go to your quarters. Do you understand? Don't wander around again."

"I gotcha. It won't happen again." The chef was to angry to bother and just turned around to clean up the kitchen while the servant picked up the plate and headed to the the door. I decided to make my move now.

I got my sleep powder out and rushed at this poor servant girl. She didn't even know what happened before she was knocked out. I amade sure to catch her before she fell and placed her in the lower cabinet before equiping her servant clothes. I put the sleeping powder on the food and then I make my way through the mansion and arrive at the duke's room.

"Master, your dinner is here."

"Come in."

I open the door and see the duke looking over the reports of his stronghold.

"Place the food to my left."

I place the food on the left side of the table and turn around to leave we the duke calls out to me.

"Wait."

"Yes, Master?"

"Stand over there and wait for me to finish eating before taking my plate away. If you make a noise. You die."

I nod walk to where he told me to stand and wait for 20 minutes. At this point, the sleeping powder kicked in and this unfortunate man could only wait for my dagger to end his dreams.

[System] Objective 1: Assassinate Duke Franz Remulos, Completed.

[System] Objective 2: Escape

I decide to tuck the dead duke in to his bed and go back to his desk to look for the matches he used to light his candles. I open the left side drawer and find the matches. As I reach for the matches I notice something different about this drawer. Instead of reach for the matches, I put my fingers on the side and feel and indent. I press on it.

Click

There was a false bottom in it. In the false bottom were engineering blueprints and alchemy recipies. There was even a ring.

[Ring of Shadows] [Dark Gold]

The Stream Chat:

Phoenix Wing: That was impressive. It seemed like luck at first but as it went on, I was shocked. This game really is different from others. What she just did makes me look foward to finding secrets in this game. Crazymage, do you want me to record you eating dirt as well?

Crazymage: Are you a f****** tomb raider irl? How did you even notice that? I really don't want to eat dirt. Please have mercy on me.

DogmaDev1: Holy Sh*t, Even our pre alpha team couldn't find this. Great God, just how did you notice it?

...

After I looted the ring, I took the matches and headed towards the kitchen and the chef was long gone by now. I told the guards that I was still hungry and wanted some bread so he let me through. After taking of the maid outfit, I activated my stealth and went out the window. After going out of the window, i closed the window and made a mad dash towards the forest.

[World Announcement] Player BloodMoon has successfully passed the 2nd test for Ivy's Trial on Hell Mode. 2/5 Complete.

...

The World Chat:

IAteYourFood: I need to watch this live stream. This player seems to be making a run.

Vanilla: The Livestream has alot of viewers rign now. It just hit 25 million viewers.

Emotionless: I believe that she can do it. I mean... she wouldn't choose something that she couldn't accomplish... right?

...

As Scarlett passed the 2nd stage, more and more people started to belive that she could do but the person in question couldn't care less as she knows that she has no time to relax.

"You passed the second test but the 3rd test is something you will definitely push yourself to your limits on. But before that, I belive you found some extras on your last trial." A corporeal version of Ivy appeared in front of me and said "If you hand the ring over now, you will get a better version if you pass the trial."

I handed it over without even thinking about it. The ring was already very good, I couldn't even imagine how it would be if it was better.

After handing her the ring, she dissapeared and the voice boomed out of nowhere once again. "Now on to the next test. In this test you will be going up against wave after wave of enemies. Since you chose Hell mode, the first enemies you face will be elites and you will work your way up from there. You will be able to earn exp in this stage but all enemies will stay at least 2 levels above yours. You will also be given 4 intermediate potions and 1 stack of 30 combat bandages. There will be no time limit and no restictions. When you think you are ready, you may begin."

"Ready."

After I said this, I was transported to another map. This map was a plain. There was no cover but this wasn't a problem. I look over to the distance and see a small team of undead. 2 warriors and 1 Priest.

[Undead Warrior] Elite

Lvl. 5

HP: 300/300

I immediately go into stealth and flank around my target. I see some rocks in the ground and an idea sparks in my mind. I pick up the rock and accurately throw the rock 2 feet away from the priest's feet and he instantly uses his skill.

Soul Shudder:

Sets a fear debuff on any targets within 5 meters of you.

After I baited that move out, I immediately burst into action using my own skills.

Temple Strike. Skill Completion Rate, 92% 4 second stun, 129% damage.

I followed this up with a 3 90%+ Slashes and the priest fell to the ground. And I went back into stealth

The stream went silent. They were expecting the priest to at least make a sound before they died but it died before it even noticed. The warriors didn't even turn around until the priest was on the ground. Is this really someone that's new to video games?

Stream Chat:

JayThePvPGod: If I ever run into you in pvp, I am gonna kowtow to you until my HP runs out. That burst was way to fast. You Skill Completion Percentage was 97% on that last slash!

Phoenix Wing: Holy Sh*t, 97% skill completion? Are you even human? Did you kill people for a living.

Even President Blackburn was stupefied.

President Blackburn: Are you working for the League of Assassin's? I need a bodyguard...

The Rest of the Stream: ...

After the Priest died in less than 1 skill rotation, the warriors died similarly. The last warrior was unlucky and I managed to perform a 100% skill Completion temple strike and it stunned it for 7 seconds and did 210% damage. After that, I just used a slash and it fell to the ground. After the first wave, I became level 4.
