It was a late evening.
Despite the late hour, many players were still in the ga. A significant number of them had only begun their adventures and would play until dawn.
The world's developnt had never halted.
In the depths of The Condemned Dungeon, a group of twelve players is fighting against the epic boss. They are newbie players who, for individual reasons, couldn't have started playing the ga earlier.
It was their first real hazardous experience against the demanding monster.
It was fun, stressful, exciting, etcetera.
The players had co prepared. Their team was a standard party lineup of a healer, mage, tank, swordsman, and assassin. The unique part of their endeavor was that they had doubled their numbers.
Ard with the knowledge and experience from forums and videos, the dungeon expedition and the final battle against the epic boss had been going flawlessly.
There were a few costs and sacrifices, but otherwise, it wouldn't have been exciting.
That was when the boss unnaturally froze.
He stood still, defenseless.
It was a chance that the party of newbie players couldn't waste!
lee classes discarded their defenses in exchange for more movent and damage.
Mages and healers also focused on the offensive in their unique ways. Their spells weighed more and were as light as feathers as they buffed their teammates, respectively.
From various angles, the party of twelve hacked at the epic boss!
It was a test of their teamwork and individual potential!
And yet, none of it mattered when their weapons t with the boss.
"Eh?"
"H-How?!"
"But why?!"
Their weapons shattered upon contact with the boss' hide. Mages' magic didn't even leave a trace behind.
Their attempt at taking the golden chance had backfired on them, or so it seed.
The epic boss hadn't moved yet.
That said, the lee players felt naked as their best weapons crumbled before them. Their eyes followed the broken and falling shard of their blades, with tears swelling in the corners of their eyes.
It was such a pitiful scene that many players and elders would have sighed with empathy toward them.
Coincidently, a certain archer was fighting the assassin on the first floor. While everyone up here could tell that sothing peculiar was happening, those below, especially those in the boss' room, didn't have a chance to learn about it in person.
The thunders rippling on the first floor, however, had reached the epic boss' heart.
Those drumd in his heart like nothing else!
This developnt triggered a chance no one had ever expected!
"L-Look at the boss!" shouted one of the players.
Everyone's eyes rose to look at the boss's status. Before they could have taken a peek at his na and stats, their eyes stopped on his face, which had significantly changed.
What used to be a humanoid ferocious wolf appeared even more frightening.
His aura alone spelled the disaster he could bring to the world!
At last, the players broke from the shackles of the boss' presence and glanced at his status.
It had changed.
It had changed so much, too.
[The First Cerberus(Legendary Boss) Lv. 30 HP: 20 000/20 000 MP: 12 000/12 000]
It was not over.
The ground rumbled.
Behind the legendary boss, who was now even taller than before, a golden door suddenly appeared. It must have been spat off by the ground beneath Cerberus, or he himself had brought it here!
The players gawked, speechless.
Their weapons broke like cheap toys because the boss had turned into a legend! He was so different than the previous epic boss that normal ans couldn't be used against him!
"Is there soone at our level that can kill with this monstrosity?" asked a girl from the players' party.
"W-who knows?" replied another.
"Shouldn't d-dogs be more pleasant to an eye?" another girl asked.
Once the epic boss' disguise had fallen off, he was no longer the wolf but a dog.
Nonetheless, he was so frightening that ntioning, let alone thinking about his appearance in the presence of those players, would have hurt them more. They were that terrified of him. this-chapter-is-MVLeMpYr
Of course, their chances of killing the boss had fallen to zero.
Shortly after that encounter, the news of the thunders and the legendary boss appearing in The Condemned Dungeon had swept across the whole community.
The traffic in the dungeon increased tenfold.
It was a chance no one could miss, including high-level players.
The legends were that special!

Jake was in college.
It was currently a break.
Everyone, including him, was enjoying the food.
He had his phone next to the plate.
'I wonder what she wanted from ,' Jake thought as he scrolled through short videos on his phone(he avoided any content related to The Legend Enigma Online). Mary wanted to talk with him just as he was about to leave the house. He didn't want to miss the bus and was still annoyed at her after their last argunt. He decided to spite her and just turned his back on her.
His curiosity was now eating him from the inside.
'I bet she wanted to spoil the ga for in so way… I must have dodged a bullet,' Jake told himself, comforting his curiosity.
He smiled and changed the topic.
He glanced at his phone and noticed the new contact. It was Prince. The man had called him while Jake was in battle with the assassin. Because Jake had logged out quite late, he decided to save Prince's number and call him the next day.
He hadn't done that yet because it was still quite early.
That was when Jake's phone trembled.
'What a timing!' Jake said, his eyes piercing the phone on which Prince was written.
His new friend was calling him!
Jake picked up…
Prince's excited voice filled his ear, "It's my dark horse indeed! Great! I have good news for you! The legendary boss has appeared in The Condemned Dungeon!"
Jake nearly choked on his food.
