The Ancients World

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Inside the Raid Deep Crystal Crypt)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:45 AM)~~~

The monsters in the dungeon come in waves, and they don\'t make things easy. They look like a mix between spiders and undead. Dead bodies and limbs are used to keep the monsters together. Genuinely looking like nightmare fuel. They all have the same name, and Grafted Horrors are something that I\'ve never seen, but heard a lot about this Raid.

My playtime regarding Raids in my old future is extremely low, and I didn\'t actually Raid anything to the difficulty of Deep Crystal Crypt. While I know all the information about this place, I don\'t have any hands-on experience regarding it. Doing it alone could be considered a mistake in this situation, but it\'s impossible to tell without failing.

So far, I haven\'t even gotten damaged yet, and everything is going pretty smooth. "At the moment, I\'m not being swarmed by these Grafted Horrors... I should move slowly so I can let the cooldown timer on Heaven\'s Light and Protected by Heaven finish." One problem is that the monsters come at you in such large numbers you find yourself like this.

Having to wait for your Skills to finish cooling down before moving forward. The boss of this Raid builds the Grafted Horrors, and while he isn\'t very powerful in terms of attacking. He has a ridiculously large health pool. One that\'ll take even me time to chew through with all my best skills. Not to mention the Raid is adjusted to fit my strength and power.

My third tier-up quest has led me here, and I know that countless things could go wrong. But I\'m intending on doing this first try. "RAAAAGHHH!!" My thoughts are interrupted as more monsters from down the mineshaft scream and charge their way toward me. The Witness is already slicing through the monsters, and I\'m gaining EXP in the process.

The group is bigger than the last, and my Skill isn\'t done recharging yet. My strongest ones, anyway. My Double Strike and Parry are still useful. I\'m yet to bit hit using these two in tandem. "You\'re all so annoying!!" I\'m getting more and more annoyed as the Raid goes on. It\'s taking longer than I\'d want it to, but there isn\'t anything I can do about that.

Going faster and rushing will just cause me to make a mistake, and that\'s not what I\'m about. It takes about 5 minutes, but I get rid of all the current monsters attacking me, and I\'ve gained 5 EXP toward my Player Level and 5 EXP toward Parry. The mineshaft I\'m in is the quickest way toward the main boss, but I have to fight a mini-boss up ahead if I want to continue going this way.

I\'ll admit, I\'m really bored doing this. I somehow think I can do better with my time, and I can\'t help but think there is more that I can do than just go after my tier-up quest. These are the only choices I got, though. "I\'m really regretting that I put off keeping up with my tier-up quests." There is no need to be hiding the truth. This was my mistake, and I\'m paying for it now.

<br/>Everyone else is asleep right now, so it\'s not like I can bother everyone else while I go through this Raid. So instead of walking through at this slow-ass pace, I\'m going to pick it up. Patience and caution be damned. I start running at full speed, and I cut down enemies as fast as I come across them. My main objective is to get to the mini-boss before 1:00 AM.

I\'m moving at incredible speeds, and I\'m killing monsters even faster. After about 10 minutes of moving at top speed and killing everything in my way. I make it to the mini-boss room. I don\'t waste any time, and I burst into the room and engage the mini-boss. I use my strongest Skills, and it\'s plain as day that he\'s dying and dying quick.

It takes 5 minutes of moving at this speed and using my attacks, but I kill the mini-boss, and I leave through the door that he\'s guarding. At this point, I\'m speedrunning this bitch. "I\'m so fucking bored!!!" I can\'t help yelling out my problems as I start to carve through enemy after enemy. The Raid boss room is about 15 minutes away, running at full speed. 

My wings are doing a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of taking out a large volume of enemies. It\'s like I\'m a bloody tornado or something, and the mineshaft walls are getting painted in blood. After 15 minutes pass, I see the door to the Raid Boss room, and I run through the door. Many notifications go off, but I ignore them and start attacking immediately. 

It seems that I catch the Raid boss off guard with my sudden attacks. The Raid boss is known as Warmore the Twisted. But I\'m not going through his extensive lore. I\'m tired of this Raid, and this guy is dying. I continue attacking and using my strongest Skills. I even activate Kingslayer and Raging Machine. Dealing millions in damage.

It doesn\'t take very long, but after a couple of minutes of continuous attacks like this, I kill the son of a bitch, and several notifications go off. I level up twice, and I get the tier-up item and use it. Making me tier-3. I take the teleporter out of the Raid, and world announcements go off. I ignore them, and I take a deep breath.

All I have left to do is my tier-4 quest, and I\'m done catching up with all my tier-up quests. I look at where I need to go to start my tier-4 quest, and it\'s The Capital City Avalon. "Going around in circles at this point..." I don\'t really care. I\'m almost done with everything on my plate, and I can happily say that nothing hasn\'t gone off my plans. But that doesn\'t last forever.

~~~(Time: 6:30 AM)~~~

My eyes are having a hard time opening, but I\'m more than ready to start the day with a nice warm magical bath. "I\'m ordering breakfast before doing any of that." I pick up the menu and order some food using the magic communicator in my room to the kitchen. Being the \'friend\' of Slayer Zern sure is awesome. Everyone waits on their hands and feet for you.

Cera isn\'t the type to enjoy something like this. He would consider it an extreme invasion of privacy. I, on the other hand, love being pampered like this. "Sucks that I can\'t have treatment like this even though I\'m a Legendary Class holder..." There isn\'t much that can be done or said about this, but I should be happy with what I\'ve got.

~~~(Time: 6:44 AM)~~~

I did not sleep well last night, which can be attributed to my nightmares of Cera cheating on me repeatedly. My mind has decided to worry about something that won\'t happen even when I\'m sleeping. "Sometimes, I hate being a woman..." There are things that I\'m never going to like due to my emotional feelings. And how close Cera is to other women is something I have to get over.

I can\'t wait to see him again. I know the first thing I\'m doing when I see him is hug him, then kiss him, and depending on what time. Do him.
