Yone stepped through the open secret door and arrived at what appeared to be a black market underneath so sort of building.
He couldn't pinpoint his exact location, as even his map wasn't functioning since he hadn't yet discovered his current position. However, from the images he recalled from his past life, there was no doubt this was a black market. The only difference Yone noticed was the absence of players and dark guilds, with only NPCs operating here.
'Now this is truly troubleso,' Yone felt his heart tighten as he darted his eyes through the black market, which consisted of simple stalls and shops spread over a vast area spanning several kiloters, if he wasn't mistaken, since his eyes couldn't even spot an end wall at the far side.
'Walking in like this with my real identity is literally suicide, these NPCs after the first major update are no joke,' He knew the intelligence of those ga characters and could vow that this wouldn't be any different from a real-world black market. So sort of mask is needed, alas, he had none.
Suddenly, as soone resembling a guard approached him, Yone felt his mind spin. He was about to log off instantly after inspecting him, but several error ssages appeared before him.
Na: ???
Level: ???
Tier: ???
The only explanation for a character with such a panel was if the other person was two tiers above the one inspecting him, and in this case, Yone had no idea why a quest in such a low-level mountain range would lead him to this place.
" dozheoqkdh????dzjsp," The guard spoke as he extended his left hand seemingly asking sothing out of Requiem, his other hand tightened on his sword hilt as he was ready to slash at this non-wanter guest at any mont's notice.
'Crap, I'm done for,' Yone felt the world spinning around him as he truly didn't understand what was going on in this ga, but at this mont, he knew that he would be lucky if he survived this with only one level loss.
As Yone was frozen, struggling to find a way out of this impossible situation, his vision flickered with sudden data and countless unknown numbers in front of him.
Then...
[Global System Announcent!]
A severe anomaly has been detected within Eclipse Online!
Error Code: 404X-BlackMarket-Override
Due to a critical ga integrity issue, the server will be undergoing an ergency shutdown for maintenance.
Estimated downti: 5 minutes.
All players will be forcibly logged out in 10 seconds.
The mont this ssage appeared, the black market fell into complete chaos. NPCs began screaming in that incomprehensible language, and the guard who had just been about to demand sothing from Yone...
Vanished.
Not just disappeared. No! But his entire model was de-rendered in a glitchy, pixelated ss, as if he had never existed in the first place. The once bustling stalls flickered, so losing textures, others turning into distorted, half-loaded data fragnts.
"What the hell...?" Yone muttered, but before he could even process what was happening...
[System ssage: Forced Logout in 3... 2... 1...]
Darkness.
When Yone opened his eyes, he was no longer inside Eclipse Online.
He was back on top of his bed with his helt on, staring at his room's ceiling absent-mindedly.
Yone didn't linger around as he quickly took off his helt, went to his seat and opened the computer as he opened the world forum of Eclipse Online. Seeing the first ssage sent by the ga company itself, he could guess that his fast developnt had sothing to do with it, especially after he saw what was updated...
[Global System Announcent!]
A major exploit has been detected! To ensure ga balance, system adjustnts have been made:
Player Killing (PK) is now prohibited.
Engaging in PK will result in a bounty status.
PKers will have a colored diamond above their head indicating their level of infamy.
Yellow (1 Kill), Orange (5 Kills), Red (10 Kills).
Experience can only be gained by eliminating PKers and cannot be acquired through killing casual players who do not have a bounty on them.
The leveling speed of so individuals was pretty astonishing, so the AI has made so adjustnts and released the dungeons pre-its regular tiline of half the player base reaching level 5.
Dungeons are now available for all players in three modes: Easy, Normal, and Hard.
Special Note: Hell mode is better off not being touched. This is only given your current levels, and feel free to do anything past level 10 when stats can be acquired by leveling up and more items are available, otherwise, you will be losing experience for no reason.
All changes are permanent.
Silence. Then, the entire ga world exploded in the forums.
ssages flooded the world forum. Guild leaders spamd their mbers on the side as they planned things over. Smaller forums were overwheld with people debating, raging, and questioning everything.
"Holy, this is insane, how can one player be responsible for all of this? They truly need to check his account for any bugs being used."
"You idiot, are you senile? Didn't you read the ssage of the developers clearly stating that its so players and not just Requiem? This ans that other players' leveling speed is also comparable to his." One of the keyboard warriors went over the comnts one by one as he was fixing their misunderstanding.
"Still, this is beyond insane, Requiem needs to go into the Legends Guild as fast as possible. His potential can only be t there." One guy comnted, placing Requiem at the sa standard as the top players in the world.
"Hhaha, you are delusional if you think Requiem is at the sa standard as Legends' top raid group. You clearly haven't played End World and haven't seen their raids or PvP battles, their top players are worlds apart from random people like Requiem guy is just lucky with no skills whatsoever."
The forums were exploding, with so talking about the new ga chanics, while others comparing players and guilds. And in the middle of it all, one na kept coming up.
"Requiem."
However, this ti, the na Requiem wasn't coming out of envy, anger, or hate for either being a hacker or a bug abuser. But was instead taken as the pioneer of Eclpise Online, as dungeons would have waited for a few more days, if not more, before being released.
Yone slowly exhaled as he turned off the PC and stared at the black screen, his mind only had one thought,' Eclipse Online is moving faster and adapting to the anomaly, which is . But I don't know whether this is a good or a bad thing.'
Yone felt that his seven years of experience were being reduced with each hour he spent inside the ga; he even felt that they would be reduced to a few years, if not a couple, if he kept triggering such announcents and forcing the AI to adapt to him.
Ti slowly passed, and after five minutes, Yone logged back into the ga. But when he was inside, sothing was wrong...
