Gods' Impact Online

A silver-haired girl was walking in the dungeon alone, without carrying any weapons to attack or defend herself. She was wearing full-body clothes with sleeves longer than her arms, covering her hands entirely.

She had no armor or any fighting gear with her, yet, she walked through the portal with a composed look on her face. She seemed to be in her early twenties. Her skin and hair were translucent, glowing even when they were covered.

When she passed through the portal, she received a prompt.

[You have entered the 50th floor!]

As soon as she entered the 50th floor, she was hit by a fireball. She had no time to react but still managed to dodge it after receiving a little burn.

[-13 HP!]

The girl thought the monster had attacked her, but the fireball was shot by another girl player, who was attacking the monster behind the silver-haired girl.

The monster was a giant fire tortoise, and the girls seemed like the size of a football in front of it.

[Level 50- Ancient Tortoise.]

[HP- 98%]

The turtle opened its mouth and charged a fireball at the end of its mouth. The fireball's color changed from red to blue as it got bigger and turned into a lava ball.

The other girl continuously shot fireballs at the tortoise's mouth to stop it from firing the charged lava ball, but it isn't receiving any damage.

After realizing her attacks were basically useless, the other girl hid behind a large rock to save herself from the lava ball. She peeked from the side and watched the silver-haired girl approaching the tortoise instead of running away from it.

The next moment, the tortoise shot the lava ball that burned the very air itself. The lava from the ball that landed on the ground burned the ground and dug holes. 

Naturally, if the lava ball hit a player, they would be burned into ashes with no trace of their bodies left behind.

However, instead of dodging the lava ball, the silver-haired girl moved her hand to it and absorbed it completely.

"...!" The other girl's eyes widened in shock.

Even the tortoise was surprised and quickly prepared to launch another attack to kill the silver-haired girl. However, before it could even charge the fireball into the lava ball, the silver-haired girl created a bigger lava ball with her hands and shot it like a beam.

The entire dungeon was quaked by her attack, and everything around her was covered in dust clouds. The girl hiding behind the rock couldn't see anything except the girl's silhouette.

A few seconds later, the dust wore off, and everything was visible, but the girl wished she hadn't seen such a bizarre scene.

The silver-haired girl was standing unfazed, while the tortoise was missing its body part with 0 HP.

[Floor 50 has been cleared! Pass through the blue portal to proceed further!]

SIGH!

The silver-haired girl let out a short sigh and glanced around, seemingly searching for the other girl.

The other girl trembled in fear and tried to hide, but her location was already exposed. She tried to peek again, but the silver-haired girl was no longer there.

"Did she enter the portal?"

"No, I did not."

The girl jolted after seeing the silver-haired girl standing behind her. She jumped a few steps back and took out her sword before standing in a defensive stance.

"What are you doing?" the silver-haired girl asked.

"You killed that boss monster in one hit! It's obvious that you are dangerous. Stay away from me!"

"Is this how you thank someone who just saved your life?" the silver-haired girl asked in disbelief. 

"Anyone would be scared of you. It's nothing personal."

The girl looked at the silver-haired girl's name tag and read her name.

"Zoe… level 15…" The girl raised her brow and asked, "How are you so strong at level 15?"

"I am an exception. The levels in this game are merely just for the show. I am far stronger than anyone in this game."

"Wow… you sound so arrogant. But I guess your strength justifies your arrogance."

"You were using fire attacks on a fire monster. That would do minimal damage. I would suggest you learn to use different elemental attacks. It's not that hard to achieve affinity. Or you could have used a physical weapon."

"I tried to use my sword, but it wasn't doing damage to the monster! And… I was also scared to go near it, so I used magic attacks. I don't know that many rules. The black slime told me a few things, but it's hard to remember everything.

And I can't summon it during battles. When I reached level 10, I unlocked a secondary class, and I chose mage since that's what the players in the inn told me when I asked them for suggestions."

"..."

"How do I say it… I am not a gamer, nor have I played games in the real world, so all this is out of my knowledge. I am still learning, but…. sigh… I am new. I logged in recently."

"Same."

"Hmm?"

"I am not a gamer either. And I am new as well."

"You are joking, right?! You are so good at this!"

"That's my real-world talent."

"...what?"

"It's nothing. And if you are new, clearing the dungeon alone was a big mistake. You could die, and apparently… if you die in this game, you die in the real world."

"I heard the same thing… and the players who lost their friends and lovers told me that too."

"If you know that, then why are you here? Find something else to do that doesn't involve risking your life."

"I can't. I have to get stronger and ascend to the high realm! I am here to find my love!"

"I am too."

"Really?!"

"Yes," she nodded.

The silver-haired girl was Zoe— Zach's little sister, but since God's Impact was based on a soul avatar, her avatar was already the strongest. Zoe had a soul fragment of an ancient cultivator, so she seemed older than her age.

While the other girl was Siesta— Shay's sister, who had logged into God's Impact to find Zach.
