The Ancients World Chapter 77: The journey to Zenith city XV

Chapter 77: The journey to Zenith city XV

The inn is even more packed then before now that its the ti NPC's get off the day shift, I look around Giovani's pub and see plenty more NPC's and players. I'm surprised that NPC's are capable of tolerating so many player in one location, and the barkeep wont turn them away since they are paying custors. I think the funniest part of all this is more players have started playing The Shattering. More and more began to watch my family play, soon players and NPC's alike were having fun and also learning to play. They had to borrow so decks from others, but many don't fully grasp how important this ga will get.

At least the tension from earlier is gone, the inn is getting kind of loud and I'm not fond of such volus. I step outside to catch so fresh air and stop my ears from ringing, I look at the well crafted road that is illuminated by the warm sun and see so couples and guards walking to their hos, most businesses aren't closed yet. Shifts are changing though, and I'm positive the evening shift is getting ready for work. I lean against the cool stone wall and think about everything that's happening. The biggest thing on my mind is J&X, while they are planning sothing its hard to guess what.

In the 5 years I played many truths were discovered about Ancients World, and so of them more disturbing then others. While we could never get J&X to admit it, many theorized that Ancients World was in fact another world that did exist. There is tons of lore that players eventually found that hinted at this, but J&X never responded to such rumors. When Ancients World real na was discovered it confird the theory for many. Gaia is the na of the world players called Ancients World for years, I have thought about this before when I made my wish to co back. Now that the system is acting different and J&X is in a panic I can assu that sothing is happening.

It cant be sothing so drastic to create a reaction like this though, why would J&X risks such dangerous consequences. The answer hits like a bolt of lightning, they risked it because it was worth trillions of UWD's. I cant say for certain about what's happening, but I know that being as strong as I can be is important. Along with securing the safety for my family, in terms of goals I have hit them all. I just cant shake my instincts that sothing bad will happen, and my instincts are rarely wrong about this sort of thing. I continue to think and ponder other things, and I'm soon interrupted by a familiar voice.

I look in the direction and see nobody, I rember how short she is and I look down to et her annoyed eyes. "I asked you a question. Are you just going to ignore like the jerk you are." She doesn't know what a real jerk is, many would prefer jerks ignore you instead of pay attention to you. I just raise my head and try to erase her from ruining my train of thought. "Looks like you haven't changed since I t you earlier this morning. Why are you at my favorite hangout place, I et my new friends here all the ti." I don't need to know these things about her, I don't even know her na. She doesn't seem to get the hint and decides to lean on the sa wall as I do. "You don't like to talk much do you. Is it because you are so rude with your words that you drive people off, or is it because you don't like girls?" I'm starting to get annoyed here, this girl obviously has so problems in her head if she goes around talking like this to everyone.

I roll my eyes at her and just sigh, she gets pretty pissed at my lack of care for her words. I decide to answer her question with one of my favorite quotes. "They say the more a man talks, the less he thinks. After eting you I can see it applies to won as well." She gets red in the face after that sly coback, I don't usually talk to people in Ancients World and I do that for a reason. Everyone wants what others have, be that information, gear and items, or just pure jealousy because soone has a better class then you. "If you want to go in, you can rest easy knowing I wont stop you. I'm sure there is soone in there that enjoys your company." She huffs in anger and finally leaves alone. I sink myself back into my thoughts and enjoy the silence now that its returned.

I know that there are many great dungeons near Zenith, but all of them require you to be at least tier 1 to enter. I also know of a few hidden and solo dungeons as well, I'm sure that they will be great for exp. It really cos down to if I want to get my mana aura after my tier up quest or hit so dungeons to get stronger for it. The gar in is telling to go for the mana aura, but the thinker and planner in says go for the dungeons. Going for the dungeons and getting stronger for the mana aura is sothing most wouldn't do, but the gap between and the top players is big enough for to do that.

So the only question that remains is when I'm all done in Zenith, do I finish my legendary quest or look for sothing else. I have a chance to free an imprisoned species and learn lore about Ancients World I didn't know before. My mind is made up, when I'm all done in Zenith I'm finishing my legendary quest. I look over to the walls the sun is near and see beautiful shadows being casted, I still have a few hours of daylight left and I should spend more ti with my family in Ancients World while I can. I can hear that its settled down so, but there are still cheers here and yells there, it really is sothing to experience in this ti period. Pubs are so of the best places to hang out.

I stop leaning on the wall and head back inside. I look over to my family and see the sa annoying girl from earlier. Why would she be over there, she said that she was... Oh, talk about a mood dampener. So that must an she is Snow Princess, didn't think she would be so short after everything I heard about her big personality. I walk over to my family and we make eye contact. "What are you doing here? You said that you would be glad I left you alone." Not my exact words, but she got the ssage. My mom looks over at with a confused face, I don't think my mom knowing how rude I was to a lady will be good.

I sit next to mom and look over at Snow Princess with a slight smile. She begins to look at my face and then my moms, she goes back in forth between the 2. I watch the horror spread across her face, she gets up with a fury. "I cant believe your this horrible mans mom! You told he was a sweetheart that was the light of your life." My mom looks at Snow Princess with anger, a quality about my mom is if you insult her children you best start praying. Snow Princess sees how badly she screwed up and sits down with an eep. My mom looks over at looking for an explanation.

I just sigh and contemplate what I should say, if I say I was an to her for no reason I'll get an ear full. On the other hand, I could just use Snow Princesses personality against her. "I t her at the bank this morning. She lied to a bunch of other players to get the lines shorter, she even tried to add to her friends list because I had a lot of money." Everything I just said is true, and its not like mom needs to know about my dismissive attitude towards this annoying girl. I like woman as much as any guy would, but I have a type myself. She is loud, annoying, and demanding. Add that all up you get a high maintenance girl, that's a no from . I like quiet, sincere, and short haired ladies. Why short hair, its a sign of low maintenance. If you think about it, a mans schedule works around the ti a woman washes her hair.

Short hair equals low maintenance, while this isn't a one size fits all you can tell a lot about a person by the way they act and take care of themselves. I can use all of this against Snow Princess, since she fits the high maintenance model. I'm not trying to pick on her, I'm trying to get the point across. I don't want her bugging , and the way she acts bugs . "Is this really true? I didn't peg her for the type to cause such a scene." My mom speaks in a teasing manner, looks like she wants to join in on the fun. We both know that Snow Princess isn't a bad person, just soone that you can only take in small doses. I look over to Snow Princess and I can see frustration and anger, along with red cheeks from holding in her voice. I think that's enough for one day, now its ti to have fun with my family.
