<Congratulations 24 300 John holder of the class Forever second for gaining first clear on released raid boss! Your deeds shall be recorded in system as a great achievement! Everyone else strive hard to emulate this feat, He will rewarded with coins! A exclusive chest (transferable) and ticket allowing him change higher due attention feat has created! But please note, being your penalty that we need enforce pressure our viewers, many feel way you accomplished victory was unfair so location next hours visible all! If die, they receive double benefits just received!> A loud system like voice broadcasted loudly, even appearing infront of him with the same message causing him to growl lowly in frustration.

"Now now, don't you like the little trick I did to spice things up? You caused quite a stir recently and many of the viewers are rather annoyed now more than entertained, some pulling strings and calling in favors so you brought this on yourself my little friend." A female sing song voice practically sang causing him to look up and see a clown girl floating upside down infront of him, 2 long blonde pigtails almost touching the ground, a plastic mask with a red nose and cut open eyeholes housing 2 golden orbs stared at him, her outfit a mix of poke dots fitting both tight and loose on her with more frills than a princess dress but mostly random on it.

"And who exactly are you? Someone working for the Jester?" John couldn't help but ask, watching those around him and seeing them confused, no doubt not fully realizing things yet he took the chance to pick himself up and quickly storing the materialized goods into his bag before quickly sprinting to his group, in the distance, the weapon master having already finished his fight with barely any injuries but laughing in joy, the clown girl still upside down floated next to him, keeping pace.

"Oh no, I'm not related to that incompetent manager, his way to strict and always focused on the rules, no no no, I prefer working for the viewers, getting those ratings up and views high as I try to work to a promotion to a lower level! Not that it would make much sense to you, speaking of which did you like my announcement? I worked hard on it!" The clown girl says visibly excited.

"Far from it but can't change what's happened, why do so many seem to hate me though? I mean aren't I just an ant with a crappy class to them?" He asks, swinging his scythe at a would-be assassin who tried to jump at form from the side with a dagger drawn, the scythe cutting there arm off as his chains stabbed him through the legs before tossing him aside.

"No idea, but someone of your class has never lasted this long, oh you could have killed some of there sponsored chosen. I have no clue though. But I am enjoying it hehe." She tells him clearly psychotic. A fire blasting to his side causing a few people no doubt trying to rush at him to scream in agony as they burnt alive.

"Shouldn't it be the Jester around though? Why are you suddenly here instead?" He asks getting close to the weapon master who grins and rushes at the small group forming behind John well dropping the axes for a pair of short swords and seemingly doubling in speed.

"His busy, and like I said, I want to get to the top and I'm not as stubborn about the rules, huh your companions are rather interesting, I cant remember seeing ones like them before and those statues and bots look like some those really low level merchants sometimes have." She suddenly says focusing on them with narrowed eyes.

"Well I got them all by chance, consider it spicing things up not to mention I got them through my own circumstances." John says trying to justify it.

"And where did they come from though? How did you get them?" She asks, her form slightly distorting and having the faintest shadow of some kind of large monster with to many mouths and tongues leaking horrible teeth.

"I got them by luck from a dream, I had this weird metal plate in my hand and the sack at my side seemed to have them in it so probably a gift from my sponsor." He tells her, blending a truth with many lies.

"I doubt it, but I can't prove otherwise, id advice you to use that class change ticket, some gods would probably be happy to help someone as good looking as what you have become, but that's all from me, oh but for being so secretive you've forced me to do this before I go." She says in a higher pitch tone before snapping her fingers and disappearing.

<Bonus 12 72 300 time! It seems our mighty little reject has more secrets and treasures than he lets on! the time for hunt been extended to hours of constant tracking his location will be visible! Follow giant arrow in sky look guy with a faint red glow! Kill him within receive triple reward, personal system shop pet! And spice it up bit killing companions highlighted blue give you coin random chance chest! Happy hunting aware that your chosen gods have given permission bless duration hunt!> The system voice rang out once more causing John to curse the clown even more, a large red beacon going high into the sky showing his exact location to all with blue slightly smaller ones falling upon his companions, the only saving grace in being that it was only those present, the ones back at the camp seemed to be excluded.

"What the heck is going on! Why am I being targeted! Hey, you dog management people! I am an innocent good little merchant just trying to make there way in this harsh cruel world so why am I also dragged into this!" Z loudly yelled as they joined the others feeling both annoyed and scared.

Upon seeing John they rushed over with the others but grabbed his shirt trying to shake him. "YOU! I demand reparations and compensation for this! Why did you drag me into something this dangerous! I demand payment for damages and emotional harm you are causing me!" They all but yelled at him getting a small laugh before he became serious.

"So what do we do now? Head back to base, hold up and wait out the storm from a defendable spot like in the first parts of Attack on Titan or like the camp the Japanese military make in GATE?" Ash asks with Saya also curious about what he was planning to do from here.

"No, were going to keep heading this way, I want us to find the Chaos Marauders main base or the location of their boss Warlord's Dominion, even if were now going to be attacked left and right I want us to keep pressing forward, I don't want to risk our home right now." John tells them expecting frustration but instead getting smiles.

"Then what are we waiting for? If these idiots wish to harm my master, they will need to go through all of us, this even gives us a chance to show off and learn some control and maybe avoid punishment?" Aria says excitedly getting nods from the rest as she walked over to the bodies of a group of Chaos marauders, her hand glowing a sickly green before a fine mist seemed to leave it into the bodies.

"I agree with her, if you would have had us go back and hide like a bunch of pansy ass's id have chosen to leave, this is the kind of person you need to be, decisive and sticking to your choice even when things don't go as planned!" Saya says getting rapid nodding from Ash.

"Hahaha I'm just looking forward to a good fight! If were now targets, it means some strong people might come and I can do more than warm up! Thanks, master, for bringing me back to a field of bloodshed!" The weapon master says with a laugh.

"Were your slaves, your wishes are our commands and we shall follow you to the end, but I do agree, were a bit more at ease knowing you're determined and don't stop half way." Ivy eventually says standing infront of Grace as she fires off some lighting at a group who got to close for her liking.
