Versatile: Alternate World

There isn't much I can do at the moment and without Renatta's prompt, the change would yet be applied and I don't want to discuss it just yet with everyone which leaves me with nothing much to do. Since life goes on and everything moves without the need for my prompt, I decided to continue what I am doing in the game as well though now I changed my perspective on it.

Anyways, an update on what happened after the last event where I wrecked the final area and loot most of the treasures there. The players were furious that the area beyond the swamp was barren, barely had monsters, and are very limited in resources to be gained. As a result, those who managed to explore the area first were able to gather an ample amount of the loot remaining there but it was small enough and competition was fierce that even one single insect monster seen crawling in the ceiling is a first come, first served treatment.

In the end, they complained to the King and Queen of the Insect Kingdom but since they have no idea what is happening other than what they have seen on the swamp, they don't know what they are all talking about. It flamed the forums on what happened and how the event became a disappointment in the latter half. Some players even tried to contact the management to show their disappointment but they were just like speaking to a wall as the Nexus Company did not even bother to send a reply and just let them do the "complaining" job they wanted to do. Of course, they ended up giving up as they didn't expect the company to not be bothered by a mountain of complaints.

Sigma and the others are also disappointed but they didn't mind what happened and returned to their usual business. As for me, I remained there for a few days before I left Aquagius region and returned to Resurgia.

Nothing much changed in Resurgia and plenty of new players are all around exploring, talking to NPCs or other players, or testing their new freedom on their movement.

I know that it's only been a few weeks since I left for Aquagius but the smithy that Almira made in my mansion has been a big hit as one of the best suppliers of best weapons for both newbies and veterans.  Of course, it's not only due to the weapons and popularity but also due to Almira herself who tends the storefront by herself. Seeing a sweaty, tanned by the forge's heat and a busty babe like Almira, she easily garnered fans in different places.

It would have been fine if these f*ckers just don't actively block my way in and out of my mansion, in fact, giving me a headache as some would even engage in a fight against me as to why I am living with Almira. Of course, I made short work with them, which made it a little bit easier for me to go in and out of my mansion. But the problem of them gathering around the shop is a little bit annoying because it also blocks the gate as well.

Lucia and Atlas are also doing well and since they are not doing much aside from farming ores in the nearby dungeon, their job is not that hard and they are in a good stable way of doing so but they are tired of doing the mining job over and over and begged me to join back on my group.

Almira is fine with it, but she demanded ores as she is getting quite a lot of orders and ores are not in supply after I went to Aquagius for quite some time, therefore she asked me for a few crates of them to last her for a while before she asks for more. Thankfully, I have a lot of ores I am not going to use but keep in my inventory for hoarding purposes stagnating and begging to be used and so I supplied Almira with them, even some rare and some valuable ores as well as long as I don't need them.

Despite my generosity to her, she remained a deadpan serious worker and just nodded as I put down the crates of ores. However, it seems to do her good as her mood seems to brighten up.

By the way, the Leader of the Cult that I captured before has been awake already but according to her siblings, it seems she is under trauma as she seemed to be in a catatonic state. She responds if the question is answerable by yes or no by nodding and shaking her head but other than that, she does not respond. She does not recover from normal heals as well so I guess she still needed to recover normally. I don't know how long but we will see in the future.

Without any quest to fulfill that is possible to be completed right now, I opened my inventory and looked at the Galatine. Just like the Carnwennan, it seems the Galatine has been sealed as well by someone and whoever that someone is, I don't know though I am more believing that the one who did it was none other than King Arthur himself. But due to my lacking of evidence and clues about it, I didn't think too much about it and decided to go and visit the Island of Avalon and check up on the Lady of the Lake as well as Merlin to check up on Cath Palug's state as well since he seems to be recovering his abilities quite a bit and I am worried about it in case the little f*cker decides to go full ham big f*cker mode and rampage all over the place.

[You have entered the Secret Area, Island of Avalon]

It's been some time since I visited this place. I only visited here once when I was asking the Lady of the Lake to repair the Carnwennan but having to visit here again just to do something related to the round table, I don't know what would the Lady of the Lake think of me who seems to get most of the weapons the previous round table knights wield?

I am already a welcomed guest, so I easily crossed the lake without the need to do the same tricks again.

"Hello? Is anyone here?"

Entering the tower and calling out to the people living in that tower, I got an answer of my own voice echoing through from several floors above. But an actual response? Not really.

Since I didn't get the same welcome treatment I did before, I started climbing the staircase that leads to the top of the tower. If only the flying magic works here, then I would have used it to go up and make a shortcut but alas, the magic that jams out magic spells aside from the permitted magic the Lady of the Lake permitted in the tower, nothing else will be activated and so my only choice is to climb. It's very long and arduous to climb on which makes it pretty much annoying to do. Still, I pushed through and continue to waddle through the staircase until I reached the top floor. There, the Lady of the Lake and Merlin were currently drinking tea.

"Oh, it seems you have decided to face the pain and move by yourself. Impressive!" the Lady of the Lake started clapping.

"Ugh, although that was not the worst climb I experienced in my life, it is still pretty sh*tty to climb a tower like this without any resting stops," I complained.

"Now, now. It's a normal test the lady of the lake gives to the people who wanted her service to do once in a while."

"Impressive, it seems your clairvoyance power is working properly huh?" I looked at Merlin who sips tea and crunching the cookies.

"It works pretty randomly though and I don't think I know what the reasons it was activating but nevertheless, I knew that you would be coming so please have a seat and join us on our tea."

Merlin snapped his fingers and a chair appeared and forced me to sit down on it.

"I thought you were just lucky that you got the Carnwennan out of random luck but now it's the Galatine? Your luck must be amazing to find it, but I have never seen the Galatine in this troubled state. What happened to it?" the Lady of the Lake asked even though I still haven't even pulled out the weapon from my inventory.

"I dunno, your guess is as good as mine."

This time, I pulled out the weapon and revealed it to her. She made the sword levitate and inspected it using her magic for a little bit and then she frowned.

"Another one of this huh... It would have been fine if the Carnwennan is the only one who has this but even the Galatine? What happened to the older knights after they disbanded?"

It seems something caught the Lady of the Lake's eye to frown like that. Perhaps she has the answer?
