Ivonna is running towards with everyone following behind her, she looks so happy that I survived the swarm. I wave at them and lay down on the ground while catching my breath because I'm so nervous and it was tense, I look at Azrael and rub his neck to make myself calm a bit. Everyone is standing around and I raise my eyebrows and raise my hand while clenching it.
"I made it."
Lothair shakes his head while chuckling with disbelief.
"You one crazy motherf*cker... how did you manage to survive that swarm of monster?"
I laugh and shake my head.
"I honestly don't know, and I was lucky enough to survive in there. I have 1 chance left as well and I thought I'm going to be sent to the outside because one of the Cursed Souls was about to grab my face with its hand."
Kingstar is offering his hands and looks at .
"We are glad that you survived."
I raise my eyebrows and nod then grab his hand. I look at him while standing up.
"You owe one this ti."
Kingstar is speechless and raises his eyebrows with disbelief.
"Wait, what?"
I chuckle and shake my head.
"I'm joking, I'm just ssing with you."
Everyone is chuckling at him, Kingstar is clicking his tongue then shaking his head. I get up and look around then point at the castle.
"It seems that we now can enter the castle."
Everyone is looking at the castle and nods in agreent, but Ivonna looks at Leo and the other spellcasters and she looks at us.
"How about we rest a bit near the castle? Leo and the others seem exhausted from running for 30 minutes. We have 2 hours before the first stage is closed so we are not in a hurry anyway."
Kingstar is nodding in agreent.
"Yes, let's do that. We can rest for a bit then we can proceed."
We are on our way to the nearest building from the castle, everyone is complinting and asking how did I manage to survive the swarm, I tell them that I have my secret weapon and I don't want to show it to them yet because I can use it to them later when I have to fight them again. Everyone is looking at and making fun of but they're all prefer not to fight again because it's pointless and useless.
We are resting while eating lunch together inside the building, we are having a bonding ti with each other and this is the perfect opportunity for everyone to get to know each other better. Mostly those who are using the sa weapons are sharing their skills and what it does since they're having a different set of skills then they're talking about how did they get those skills. For , I'm resting on the couch because my heart is still pounding from the battle that I had.
Ivonna is sitting next to and reading a book that she borrowed from the Holy Temple about Saintess Eveth, then Kingstar and the other clan leaders are approaching us, they grab a chair and sit in front of us. Kingstar is leaning on the chair while staring at the castle through the window.
"So, does any of you knows what we are going to face in the second stage?"
Liu is putting his hand under his chin and looks at Kingstar.
"Do you think this dungeon is like a challenge for the players to clear the dungeon by surviving on each stage? I an if we look at the Maelstrom of Abyss dungeon, they have the sa pattern, right? In there, we have to destroy the eggs while we have to fight waves of monsters. Now, since our objective is to survive here, there's a high chance we are going to deal with sothing that requires us to survive the stage."
Sigryd is humming with understanding while nodding.
"So, if we are talking about surviving, does that ans there will be traps in the next stage? I an, we know from movies, novels, and gas that if we are inside a dungeon or tomb or sothing like that in the middle of the desert, there's always a trap inside, right?"
Everyone is aahing and nodding in agreent. Alessandro looks at Sigryd and raises his eyebrows.
"Then the next one could be a trap ga, huh?"
Everyone nods in agreent, Cho Ahn crosses his arms and looks at the castle.
"This is like an elimination type of ga where those who managed to survive till the end will be rewarded, but knowing there's a boss called The Keeper of Ti, then we are going to fight that on the final stage, but just knowing from the first stage, no matter how many players we brought here, at least 20 to 30 percent of them are going to fail. Now, if it's true that the second stage is a trap ga, we would lose at least another 30 to 40 percent of the players since the second stage in the previous dungeon is harder than the first one."
Lothair is looking at Cho Ahn and raises his eyebrow.
"You're saying that no matter how many players we brought, it didn't matter since there will be only a few of us would survive until the final stage? I can agree with that, but I think we wouldn't be able to clear it on our first attempt though, so we need to keep using the sa raid teams over and over until we mastered each stage if we all want to survive until the last stage."
Diamond scoffs and looks at Lothair.
"I think it's impossible because I have been playing MMORPGs for almost 20 years now and doing raids or attempting to clear a dungeon, there will always be a human error in there. No matter how good we are later after knowing all the stages, it's still pure luck if we manage to get at least more than half of the total players that entered the dungeon."
Ivonna and Kingstar are nodding in agreent. Ken shrugs and tilts his head.
"This is going to be very hard then, but I'm not complaining since I love this dungeon more than the Maelstrom of Abyss. It's fun and I can't wait to see what's is waiting for us inside that castle."
Everyone keeps pouring their opinion and suggestion to each other, and then a red notification appears in front of my screen.
[Warning!]
[Your account will be suspended for these reasons:
1. Killing players outside the event or quest.
2. Killing the Emperor of the Eluna Empire, Lerst Eogura.
3. Destroying the capital city of the Eluna Empire.]
[Your account will imdiately be suspended at 12 A.M. UTC]
[Your account will be suspended for 7 days in real ti]
Well, I asked Jason to do sothing about my punishnt so I prepared for it. I look at the ti and it's 11.50 P.M. UTC, I should tell them about this. I look at everyone and raise my eyebrows and they all imdiately look at , Ivonna tilts her head.
"What's wrong?"
I raise my eyebrows.
"I just got a notification that my account will be suspended."
Everyone is shocked and looking at with disbelief, Kingstar is shaking his head with confusion.
"Wait, what? Why?"
I tilt my head.
"Well, the notification said that my account will be suspended because of these reasons. I killed players outside a quest or event, I killed the emperor, and lastly because I destroyed a city."
Ivonna turns her body at and grabs my hand.
"When is your account going to be suspended?"
I raise my eyebrows.
"12 A.M. UTC, which is 10 minutes from now. I guess I can't co with you guys to join the attempt to clear this dungeon for a week from now."
Everyone is gasping, then Ken leans forward.
"A week? Your account will be suspended for a week?"
I nod, and Kingstar sighs with relief.
"Well, I guess it's fine if it's only a week, better than his account get banned, right? I guess it's a good ti for him to get suspended because have you checked the community in the forum? They're like a wild animal barking at the developers for not taking any action for what Trevor did. Now he's about to get suspended, at least the community will shut up now."
Kingstar clicks his tongue in annoyance.
"Still, without you in the team will take a huge toll on us. It's a sha but I guess we have to try to clear this dungeon without you. I promise you if we manage to clear the dungeon during your suspending ti, I will help you out to clear the dungeon, don't worry."
Everyone is nodding in agreent and they're saying the sa thing. I nod and smile.
"Thanks, I really appreciate that. I guess I have to log out now before the ga forced to log out."
Everyone nods and Ivonna looks at while frowning, I smile at her and just show my expression that I'm fine.
I tell about this to the rest of them and they're showing the exact expression and asking the exact sa question to . After I say my goodbye and wish them good luck, I log out from the ga.
I lay down on my bed and look at the date.
"No ga for a week, what should I do?"
