Ancient God Sect’s Treasure Chest

When the fourth orc was defeated, Brant Hardwork announced.

"Congratulations on completing the first task. Combat skills are necessary, but not the most important thing for Rogues, what we are looking for is something else that is stealing things from others. But to steal something, you need to be careful and stealthy. Learn this skill to walk through the maze without being noticed by creatures. If any of them notice you, the task will fail, and the test will be canceled. You can come back here when you have improved your stealth skills"

In front of Wang Cai, a purple book was floating.

Skill Book - Cloaking(Temporary use)

Cloaking: The user becomes invisible and barely detectable by others. But it can be revealed if a magical light hits his body or is injured. Cost: 50 MP per second.

"..." Wang Cai already didn't know what to do.

Upon touching the book, the system sounded.

ding… ding…

"You learned the Cloaking skill"

"Cloaking" At the mention of the name, Wang Cai's body began to slowly disappear until nothing could be seen, not even one blur.

Suddenly, the room began to change shape until it became a maze.

10:00:00

09:59:59

The second test also had time to complete.

Without hesitation, Wang Cai walked with slow but steady steps.

There was no fear or anxiety in his heart.

After walking for five meters, the first creature was seen.

A wolf.

The creature seemed to smell something, but it didn't know what it was, so it just stood there looking around.

Wang Cai successfully passed.

Following the directions in his memories, he made his way through the maze without encountering any dead ends.

Creatures on the way couldn't detect him because of the light footsteps.

The AGI attribute not only increased attack and running speed, but also the weight of the body.

Also, Wang Cai had nothing to do with him. Not even a single bronze coin or weapon. He only had the initial clothes on his body, which is weightless as it was just the look of the character.

Thus, each step was imperceptible to the creatures.

Following the path without any difficulties, Wang Cai finally faced a challenge.

In front of him were three mages next to each other, forming a triangle, each of them casting a spell called Ball of Light.

Ball of Light - Reveals anything hidden.

The spell did no damage but had the effect of revealing what was hidden like the Cloaking skill.

But looking more closely it was possible to see that there was a pattern.

There was always a small gap between the Balls of Light.

The balls of light revolve around the bodies of the mages, but there was a place where it was not touched by the balls.

The player needed to be fast and get through that point in no time.

That was the test, stealth, and speed.

"..." Wang Cai needed to calculate his running time and speed.

If one of the balls hits, the challenge fails.

"Run..." He spoke calmly.

whoosh!!!

The steps became much faster and his body became a blur.

With each step, closer to the mages he got.

The balls of light appear to be spinning in slow motion as he approaches.

The instant he got close, he picked up speed.

The three balls lined up and the opening appeared.

stomp…

Wang Cai stomped the ground hard to give his body momentum.

whoosh!!!

A wind blew as he passed, the mages didn't feel anything different because nothing was revealed.

So Wang Cai passed.

Catching his breath, he rested for a few seconds before continuing through the maze.

04:13:21

More than half the time had passed, but there was still more than half of the maze.

Wang Cai has increased his movement speed to make up for the time lost by standing still and waiting for the balls of light to line up at the previous location.

So he started to run, but his footsteps were still light and imperceptible to the creatures.

At the end of the labyrinth, there were a lot of deadly traps, but they were all overcome by Wang Cai, he already knew where each one was, he just passed without stepping on any.

Insider information was one of the most incredible things out there.

The instant he emerged from the maze, Brant Hardwork's voice echoed again.

"Congratulations on completing the second task. Now, I will talk about your last task. An Ebon Rogue needs power, and stealth, but there is still something more important than all that, which is stealing. Without robbing someone, you will not be considered a true Ebon Rogue. But our targets are not just any people, our guild has high standards. The targets will always be nobles and wealthy merchants. So your task is simple. Go to any noble's mansion and steal one of their valuable items, only real items will be considered"

…

Wang Cai left Ebon Rogue Guild and went another way.

As he walked through the streets, he still didn't head toward the nobles' mansion, as he still had a full week to complete the quest, and he was in no hurry.

Upon disconnecting, he did some physical exercises and relaxed a little.

Lin Hai was texting to ask what his level was.

He was currently working and couldn't stay in the game, so it was only possible to send messages via WeChat.

Wang Cai had to lie to his friend a bit when he said he was still level 26.

…

Southern Continent, Archelux Empire, Forsaken Ruins…

A group of players was exploring one of the oldest and most broken regions of the Achelux Empire, a neighboring kingdom to the Agoria Kingdom.

The group consisted of about twenty members, each of whom wore shining armor and expensive accessories. Their levels were between 150 and 180.

The creatures that inhabited this place were skeletons and demons. Their levels were 200.

Coordination and teamwork helped them to overcome the creatures.

"Trent, are you sure the quest says for us to come here?"

"Yea. Our objective is in these ruins, or rather, somewhere in these ruins. But we need to find something like a temple."

"Leader!!! I found it!!!!" An archer shouted.

Archers had the best eyesight among the other classes due to skills like Eagle's Eyes.

The group arrived at a destroyed temple, but the altars were still intact.

"We have to find a secret passage somewhere around here. The quest says we need to enter the cave to find the item."

Clearing the floor and surrounding areas, they finally found a trapdoor under a rug.

The tunnel led into a large room, which looked more like a ritual hall.

In the center of the hall was a large altar, at the top was a very old wooden box.

"There is the quest item"

Ancient God Sect's Treasure Chest

That was the name written on top of the trunk.

"Leader, what do we need to do now?"

"The quest is giving you two options. Get the chest and take it back to the kingdom. Or open it and get the treasure for us without taking the chest back."

"What are we supposed to do?"
