Terra Nova Online : Rise Of The Strongest Player - Chapter 18

A reincarnator?
” Big mistake! Y-you are a dumb man, a dumb dumb man…. Dumb ways to die…. O there are so many dumb ways to die” Leo started to hum as his mind became light and dizzy from all the hard work.

Apparently, Leo had not taken into consideration the importance of the ‘Stamina’ stat and how important it was for movement within this game, as after short bouts of about 20 minutes of labour, Leo was forced to rest for 10 minutes to regain some stamina and work again.

The job of breaking rocks and carrying them was too much for a level1 player, and although because of his excellent experience in real life as a repairmen, Leo did manage to break chunks of rock, exactly the size that he wanted it to be, he struggled a lot to keep a consistent work rate and was much slower at the job than he had anticipated.

Leo was certain that several hours had passed since he started his labour and although he was eager to complete the task, he also did not want his brother to worry. Thus, he decided to log out at once and continue the quest at a later date.

“Hey system, I wish to logout” Leo said, hoping to get out of this narrow mining vent and come back later, however, the system denied his request.

[ System Notification:- Logout is not permitted within dungeons! Logout request refused!

Please escape the dungeon to Logout ]

“Motherfucker” Leo cursed as he banged his fist against a wall and took -2 points in damage.

“Aghh, Dammit” He cursed as he blew air over his knuckles in hope of easing the pain, however, it offered little to no relief.

He was apparently stuck inside this dungeon with no means to logout as the only way to logout was for him to make his way out of the dungeon entrance that was probably being guarded by several wolves.

With no weapon at hand, Leo felt like his chances of evading the wolves and managing to escape were slim to none and hence although he felt like logging out, at the moment he had no other choice but to keep playing the game.

Thankfully, the Arc Ship attendants did say before Leo logged-in that since it was the first day onboard the ship, everyone had the full day off from work, which meant that it was going to be fine if Leo played for a few more hours since he did not have real world obligations to fulfil, however, he was still not sure how Luke would feel about it in the real world.

( Meanwhile Dark Emperor )

Dark Emperor was the player who had the first worldwide announcement under his belt, achieving a remarkable milestone in the game’s history.

In less than 2 hours since the game started, he unlocked his class, setting a record as the first player to do so in the entire game.

His real identity was Cervantez Divinorum, an individual hailing from the S tier of the Arc Ship, residing alongside the other urban elite.

As the sole heir to a prominent business conglomerate in the USA, he was a central figure in elite society who was well known and well liked by all.

However, his most guarded secret was his identity as a reincarnator, a fact unknown to anyone else in the world.

Sent back in time by four years to the day before the ship took off, he held the knowledge of Terra Nova Online’s secrets and the true agenda of the aliens who made the game mandatory for all humans.

He was already aware of all the important events and players that were going to rise in the future and had his eyes set on creating a guild and recruiting them from the start.

He wanted to claim all these talents for himself, but most importantly he wanted to get in touch with the strongest player in the history of the game ‘The Boss’ who was notorious for being the only solo player throughout the game.

Despite how important joining a guild was since it gave access to countless guild missions and territorial benefits, The Boss never joined an organisation and nobody was able to figure out his identity in the four years that Cervantez played the game.

In this second life, he was determined to change a lot of mistakes he made in his past life and punish a lot of opponents that stood in his way.

Since he already knew the main objective of the game Terra Nova Online, he wanted to prepare for the event that was to come 4 years from now right from the get-go so that unlike his past life, humanity could avoid making a big mistake this time around.

This time, he was determined to claim all the legendary objects!

Monopolise all the hidden quests and speedrun all the important dungeons!

He was determined to surpass ‘The Boss’ as the number one player and enjoy the benefits of being at the top of the levelling chart!

But most importantly he was determined to win over the love of his life PinkJade and prevent her from turning cold and cruel.

He was already level 7 and wanted to be the first one to reach level10, however, little did he expect that before his future knowledge even began to come into play, his first worldwide notification would start a chain reaction and a butterfly effect that he would have never anticipated.

The lazy Leo Skyshard, who would not have started his first quest till 2 days into the game, made a rash decision to explore a dangerous dungeon solo because of Cervantez’s world notification and as a result he was on the cusp of achieving the impossible and exceeding Cervantez’s calculations.

As he determinantly killed the slimes near his spawn village, slowly levelling up, Leo kept constructing his wall, cutting off the oxygen supply to dozens of high level wolves.
