The Two Lives Of Aaron Wade: The Gamer And The Heir 52 The Nereids Of Njord I : Preparing

When we sailed into the cove and straight into the dungeon, we were ignored, at least for the most part. A lot of ragged looking fellows had ran besides the s.h.i.+p on the platforms that seemed to serve as a demarcation for ca.n.a.l like labyrinth. These shady fellows were without a doubt, the guides that was supposed to lead us through the labyrinth, but I completely ignored them, much to the chagrin of my crew.

"Captain why are we ignoring the guides, though we really can't trust any of them, it's imperative that we have someone lead us through the labyrinth." Dinah said to me.

"You rebuilt this s.h.i.+p, but it seems you don't know anything, about what she can, that's bad. But I don't think it entirely your fault, after all I've not made mention of it yet. Acheron has a special compa.s.s that can find anything your heart desires, plus it has a definite chance of finding legendary ranked equipment. So you don't have to worry, Acheron herself will lead us through the labyrinth, and to be honest this is a dungeon, it would be beyond stupid for us not to take advantage of it and improve our strength. Let's use this as a grind stone to improve our strength and become stronger. All of you should checks your stats, and see what you need to take care of, prepare for battle."

Since I asked them to get prepared, I guess I also had to do the same thing. I had to check my stats, and probably increase the levels of some of my skills. I had quite a few skill points left from the last time I used it, and while I've ignored upgrading most of my skills, I think it would be smart to at least get my main skills out of the basic grade and into the advanced grade, there should be a lot more damage and versatility to them from that point on.

The idea of not being able to level up as soon as I received exp was quite annoying, but that's the rule of the trial. All I can do is acc.u.mulate exp until I've finished my current task, and went back to report it's completion. Once that's done, I'll be able to level up again, but for now I just had to keep acc.u.mulating exp. The only thing I could focus on was training my skills to make them stronger, speaking of skills, I guess it's about time I leveled up my basic skills.

I increased the levels of precise aim, shoot, hard punch and flight to level 1 advanced from their basic ranks, spending 22 skill points out of my 44, and then I spent 11 points increasing the levels of lightening coat, lightening blade, and mana arrow. For now these are the skills I had to focus on, and there were quite a lot of skills for me to keep track off. And it was because I had too many skills that I decided we should attempt to take on this dungeon, as completing a dungeon would normally awarded the players some gifts, with the elusive skill combining gems being amongst them. That's what I'm really after anyway.

I got my armor on, and hung Thalasio Spathi on my back, and sky already in her bow form was hanging behind my waist with my quiver hanging at the side of my body. Every other person except for Dinah was geared up for battle, but that's to be expected, seeing as she had a production cla.s.s.

Mark, Zack, Jack and Darke had on the customary elven armor, which if you ask me we have to change, and get them something better. One special aspect of lost descendants online as a game is the fact that the issue of constantly changing gears is not required, you could always find a way to upgrade the current armor you have, letting you have the same armor for the entire duration of your game play, all you had to take care of was the normal clothes you wore.

Raven Song was decked head to toe in a very thick and bulky armor, and he had a war hammer in one hand, a great sword hung on his back, and a s.h.i.+eld almost as wide as his body. His helmet completely covered his face, with only his elven ears leaking out from the side of it. A paladin, four common elven guards(we need to get them better cla.s.ses), a disgraced Patmosian Sniper, a s.e.x crazy masked engineer and then me, the guy with a weird cla.s.s. Well we could not be any more dysfunctional than this, but I feel as if we could make this work.
