An NPC Challenges the Dark Lord(LN)

The universe is ruled not by the gods but by one player Yami. Yami is in search for every skill and has embarked on a path to prevent any other player from becoming as powerful as Yami. Yami is the top player of "Endless Probability", currently the #1 RPG Game on Earth. Later on, the gods become fearful of Yami's creativity with the "endless" mechanics of the game and thus plan to destroy Yami as the Dark Lord grows stronger eliminating players considered as a threat. The gods then figured out to hide Yami's hopeful demise through an NPC. The gods' plan is not guaranteed.

The Mythical Frost Bull Pursues Weaklings

"Bosses are huge they will be easily spotted by the contestants."

Puppet Master was disappointed that only a bit of planning was made.

"Then we'll make the wheat taller around 100 meters."

Yami replied confidently and Game God was in doubt.

"Why not bamboo instead if it's that tall?"

"Bamboo is tougher and I'm sure some idiots will run into one and be knocked out like running into a tree."

Yami looked down on the shorter Puppet Master to discuss the strategy.

"Alright Puppet Master we've given you the freedom to summon your favorite pets back in the day...well if they still exist."

"I've mostly chosen The Myths."

"Do you have control ov-"

"Lucifer is here of his own will because you made my level too low! He says he'll entertain us."

"So Queen Lucy is part of his Shapeshifter..."

Game God knew what the Dark Lord would discuss next and so Game God spoke first.

"No we will not destroy Lucifer. He is an important part of the game for pacifists. Players who would like to change Lucifer to a good angel."

"And the chances are?"

"Less than 0.00001%."

"Well then that's only a few zeros and multiply that to the number of active players, we have idiots."

The Dark Lord sarcastically meant that no one will change Lucifer.

"It's the same probability of a hero turning Demon Lord. You witnessed the change therefore it's not impossible. The possibilites are?"

"Shut up with that overused s***."

"It's the game motto. The possibilities are endless, come play."

"I don't want to know why the #1 game has s*** advertisments."

"Well then let's go wipe out our registered competitors!"

Game God playfully replied.

"This is a massacre Game God. Won't you stop Puppet Master?"

"Nope. I don't care if the average level for this battle is level 101. Someone is bringing it up and I wan't to see her in action!"

And so the slaughter began...

Many weak summoners brought forth deers, bats, slimes and goblins to fight the Frost Bull that pursued the summoners and they were no match for the enraged Frost Bull.

Frost Bull ignored the summons which was unexpected. Players expect bosses to defeat summons before dealing with the players.

Two die after each hammer smash and each player killed by the Frost Bull increases all of its stats by 10%. Every player that dies fed the Frost Bull's Speed stat making the juggernaut run thrice as fast as the average summoner.

The Frost Bull could smell the fear of nearby players and ambush them by splitting the wheat in half. The deaths of these players were met with cold gray eyes.

[Summoners have lower speed stat(compared to other Classes) in exchange for high mana capacity in order to frequently summon much needed bodyguards.]

The Frost Bull could no longer sense fear and returned to the weak summons following him. Frost Bull placed it hammer overhead and mashed the summons. together into one ball of goeey corpses. As soon as Frost Bull smelled fear, he left and ran full speed.

The Necromancers banded together crawling to their positions in the wheat field forming a circle above. 20 Necromancers connected their magic together to enslave a boss.

The Reaper slowly rose from the enslavement circle with chains locking its black robe and skeleton arms.

"Tame Boss."

The Reaper was free of its chains and King Grimm's Scythe arose from the circle. King Grimm lets entities borrow his equipment from time-to-time out of boredom. The Puppet Master appeared before the necromancers in the battlefield.

"Witness Unholy Judgement!"

The Reaper swung its sycthe and harvested the wheat around along with the heads of the twenty necromancers.

The Reaper spoke in gruff mystique.

"...You have returned...master..."

"Let's farm some souls like we used to!"

The Puppet Master jumped in air and landed on The Nobody in the shape of a wolf.

The Dark Lord submitted The Nobody was an in-game boss design a decade ago capable of shapeshifting but without any appearance. It may look like a wolf but it's all just pitch black. It only takes the form and shape of the wolf but it does not have eyes or fur or any features but a black shape and form.

The Dark Lord submitted the boss design to represent loners.

"Hey this new boss is handy! Thanks Yami! You don't hate me anymore then."

After that remark, the wolf shook its body and she fell off reminding her that the Dark Lord mainly controls the bosses and that she's just someone who also controls them.

"I think we went overboard Yami."

"Ya think? Don't worry the strong one will eliminate the bosses and turn that girl into a spirit."

The Frost Bull's head was floating in mid air dropping blood from below for everyone to see. The contestants who were hiding in battle looked up and became relieved.

"See? To kill the Frost Bull is a big achievement. We should already crown the player to do so as champion."

The monk poked Yami repeatedly to look elsewhere in the wheat fields and both became confused when they saw the Frost Bull.

[Yami and Game God can see the battlefield without the wheat to have better vision of possible cheating.]

The Frost Bull was still chasing players with its head still connected to the body. Both of them prcolaimed at the same time,

"Interesting. Is this cheating?"
