***

Everyone, every single player and even NPCs were completely astounded to the inconceivable great news that were just delivered. It wasn't that amazingly rare, everyone could see that nameless dude or gal that one day appeared at the top 10 in the leaderboards suddenly start rising, without stop. But now that they've clearly understood the implications o having the initiative, various powers all cross both, New Earth and Rising Essence. Whether it were the big shots from New Earth, like any kind of business group, companies and the like and even the likes of the thirteen clans were attracted to this type of super advantage; as well as normal, casual people/players on Rising Essence that managed to get a foothold on their own by using their own capabilities, strengths as well as with their intelligence who managed to amass a large amount of people and created hegemonic-level of associations or even just a small amount of people, yet very capable, powerful and unique kind of players. Like Raoundozia or Sylda.

As for Tongqiu? He really couldn't even give less of a fuck even if he wanted as he was also distracted by the unfolding events before him.

*PING*... as the 'Journeyer' has reached the MAX LV available at the moment; every time the 'Journeyer' gathers enough experience to level up from LV30 to LV31, the 'Journeyer' will receive an extra point in their main stat.

*PING*... - ... - ... 

Tongqiu: (ಥ﹏ಥ) Again?! Nothing even happened!

*PING*... since the host's main stat is a very special one, the host will receive Mind Power+1 for every cap of experience reached.

'Eh, whatever.' Though Tongqiu was still in his capricious state, he was nonetheless glad at his ever growing Mind Power. He already had quite the lots of it, why not get more?

Tongqiu's eyes were visibly exhausted as he was looking at the already known shadowy hand once again descending from the roof. At the moment it started to effortlessly pulling the Fallen's fiery-like energy soul towards the sky, Tongqiu felt so annoyed that he had the idea to shoot the bitch down. So he did.

The moment the arrow was a meter away from the shadowy hand, it exploded entirely without Combustion even activating, as if there was something right in front of it. It, however, didn't seem to be made for protection as the shadowy hand itself acted as if something weird had just happened but it had no idea of what it was. Tongqiu was about to try once more, ignoring the previous intense and immense explosion waves from before, but then the lightning strikes started resounding right from what he could deduce to be on top of wherever he was at! The shadowy hand immediately became exasperated as it hurried to move the fuck away with its utmost speed and fleeing in plain, obvious panic.

He merely remained still in the same position as before as he watched these events unfold so smoothly before him. Then, he decided to let it be for today as not only he's been inside the game for quite the large amount of time, but that he has also been called out from outside the game. With an expression that purely and justly said 'duty calls', Tongqiu disconnected from Rising Essence.

***

What followed after his logging off from Rising Essence was more of the same he's been doing along with Diana and Natalia, to his utter satisfaction. Of course, them both girls also didn't mind it one bit. Diana now had a great place to stay at while being relaxed and not full of people asking her what to do and bla, bla, bla; besides, she still had Tongqiu to fool around like ignorant teenagers every now and then and so, her lifestyle as of now was pretty enjoyable for now. Not to mention that her being able to see, be with and talk to her 'Big Sister' was a great '++' to it. Whenever Diana was with Natalia, she wouldn't try to hide one bit her admiration and love for her, as such, Tongqiu easily became to know that... well, that they knew each other very, very well. He didn't delve into it even in his thoughts as it wasn't necessary and they got along so incredible well, so there was no truly such a reason, he merely enjoyed their staying with them and them with his.

As for Natalia, she still was going through what seemed to be really important documents as her focus would be entirely on them whenever the pair of fools would be flirting around. She never hid those documents and even sometimes spoke about them directly with Tongqiu and sometimes with Diana. In short, they were documents about management and the likes which Natalia was using as research material and homework. Tongqiu inadvertently formed a foolish grin on his face when he brought his thoughts to that conclusion after thinking 'What a good wife.'

The rest of their day -and night- was more of their peaceful cohabitation, full of sweet smiles, horny actions, and innumerable of suggestive, intense glances from Diana and Tongqiu.

After waking up to a Half-naked Natalia, Tongqiu caressed her face before waking her up by biting one of her erasers as he then dashed away for another morning routine before coming back to bed, and entering Rising Essence.

***

First things first, Tongqiu looked at his status window, skills and merely gave an instant glance towards his equipment.

***

And as usual, Tongqiu headed towards the nearest Fallen Summoner, and once that Fallen Summoner was over with, he'd go after the next one. He set his own personal goal of taking care of two of them per day at the very least.

[Maddened Fallen Summoner]: Type: Fallen (Human), Grade: Lord, Level: 42, HP: 1/1. It is unknown how or why this previously extremely strong summoner abandoned its path for. But their mana is the only lasting living characteristic of themselves. It uses all of its mana to create an impenetrable shield, should the Fallen Summoner spend all its remaining mana pool, it'll be defenseless to an easy death. With your current Mental Power, you're able to glimpse at the last few moments before this Fallen 'died', its emotions and thoughts are for you to read. -It appears that this previously human being was in the middle of his last battle before his death when everyone and everything around him started to be destroyed and put into an eternal silence. Stars, space, reality itself was already distorted and beginning to fall into chaos... but someone had to stop that, or else, the plan of their Leader's would easily fall... so this previously human did so. Not only did he remained in such unbearable forced dimension until the last few moments of the battle, but he even survived that... he was unfortunately taken by the G?? and the G?? as he was then induced into 'the Fall'.

Passive Skills: When this Fallen Summoner's Fallen Summoned are lower than 50% HP, their defenses are increased by 200% but all of their damage dealt is reduced 90%. At 5% HP, they instead recuperate their basic damage and gain Physical and Magical Power+1,000%, but their defenses are completely dismantled.

Then, Tongqiu dashed towards the nearest Summoning Light.

[Flood Dragonling]: Type: Fallen Summon(Beast), Grade: Lord, Level: 40, HP 130,000. A Dragon's sub-species dominant with the Core Element Water, once this youngling of a Flood Dragon matures, it may have the opportunity to keep on evolving to higher ranks. Very durable body and is extremely fast when going anywhere were water or liquid is.

With his now MAX LV Combustion skill, he could easily down these Lord grade BOSSes in a matter of two or three bombardments of his essential weaponry, and every now and then, just for the sake of not boring himself in these 10-20 minutes BOSS fights he'd change to his Sunfacing Brilliant Gladiuses while activating Transient Divine Burst. Unexpectedly, these newly upgraded skills made it increasingly easier to deal with the Lord phase of this battles as he easily went through them. He didn't even needed to use 'abnormal' state to kill all the BOSSes at the Enlightened phase anymore, pretty cool.

. . .

*PING*... a Fallen Summoner has sacrificed 10 of its total mana pool to liberate a Fallen Summoned of its Fallen destiny. It has recuperated a slim percentage of its true power and has gained intelligence once again. However, it'll die after an hour.

*PING*... the Fallen Summoned 'One-Horned Flood Dragon' has been reanimated for a short time, evolution of its grade has been granted.

 

*PING*... you've successfully killed an Enlightened...

*PING*... you've successfully killed an Enlightened...

*PING*... you've successfully killed an Enlightened...

 

*PING*... the Lord grade BOSS Maddened Fallen Summoner has been depleted of its entire mana pool. It's trying to escape!

 

*PING*... - ... - ... Maddened Fallen Summoner has been successfully slayed. SP+10,000 and Fame+10,000.

*PING*... the floor's progress has been updated. Objectives: [Kill Fallen Summoners: 5/15].

 

. . .

After calmly yet coldly and indifferently looking once again towards the shadowy hand descend onto the exasperated Fallen, something that hadn't happened in a long time occurred again.

GRWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH~~ 

At the Fallen's unusually high-pitched shrieking, the rest of the Fallen Summoners  also mimicked the Maddened Fallen Summon's agonizing and utterly unbearable shrieking. The shadowy hand visible trembled as its image blurred quite a lot, unfortunately for the shrieking victims, more and more AND MORE shadowy hands appeared at that instant, they were immensely thinner and basically a mini version of the usual shadowy hand, there were 10 of them which went towards each of the other shrieking Fallen Summoners, Tongqiu merely watched as he really couldn't do anything about it. Then, even more of those small shadowy hands headed towards the Maddened Fallen Summoner before easily dragging it into the roof.

The moment the mini shadowy hands appeared and started to move around unrestrainedly, Tongqiu's scalp was utterly shivering as if it had life within itself. Then, as 'they' moved towards the Fallen Summoners and enlarged just to cover their mouths, Tongqiu's fear was instead easily swept away by the gain of knowledge. Of course, he wasn't as stupid as to attack them too as he didn't wanted to know what'll happen if they discover his existence completely... after all, the obvious hint from before was easily taken in by the sharp-minded Tongqiu.

Tongqiu: "..."

He moved, once again, towards the next and nearest Fallen Summoner...

***

As Tongqiu simply threw a Valuable grade Flying Dagger at its target, its status window appeared before him.

[Apathetic Fallen Summoner]: Type: Fallen (Human), Grade: Lord, Level: 42, HP: 1/1. It is unknown how or why this previously extremely strong summoner abandoned its path for. But their mana is the only lasting living characteristic of themselves. It uses all of its mana to create an impenetrable shield, should the Fallen Summoner spend all its remaining mana pool, it'll be defenseless to an easy death. This Fallen seemed to be a complete genius in its living form. But it also seemed as if its previous form had a beginning as tough as being able to walk but not feeling your feet... it seems that its previous living form had complete utter inability to enjoy the pleasures in which any living being is capable of going through. Unexpectedly, it was also the very one leading an army to a certain battle where it ultimately perished. 

Passive Skills: It and its Fallen Summoned are completely immune to all debuffs and critical, pierce attacks and critical and pierce attacks do not work against them.

He was almost numb towards these developments, but it wasn't as if he was hurting real people, right? It was a game and besides, he wasn't doing this purely for his benefits, SP was good. But getting deep into the game and its lore made him actually want to do this himself... it was quite new in his life to be so proactive, let alone doing so for others. It didn't feel 'right' to him, rather how it was supposed to be, his path maybe.

[Six-Legged Lava Crow]: Type: Fallen Summon(Beast), Grade: Lord, Level: 40, HP: 120,000. Not really strong at aerial battles, but this crow is capable of easily tormenting any leaving being unable to truly fly as it would flood the earth with countless lava wherever it wanted. This type of crow are very, very useful when battles used to break out without scaling into a war between Regions.

'Oh, so it's trouble... good.' Tongqiu could've easily changed to his essential weaponry, but he however, kept his dual gladiuses as he dashed towards the Six-Legged Lava Crow, easily delivering quite a few rounds of quick basic attacks.

-5,765, -5,683, -5,700, -5,609, -5,679, -5748, -6,899, -5,680, -5,702...

That was Tongqiu's damage using combustion. Even if he was no longer LV25 and instead a whopping LV30, the +LV10 difference had its defenses at +300% and that was impossible to overcome, even more so against these impossible to debuff or hit with a special attack BOSSes. It obviously made the battle much more longer than with that of the Maddened Fallen Summoner.

. . .

 

*PING*... a Fallen Summoner has sacrificed 10 of its total mana pool to liberate a Fallen Summoned of its Fallen destiny. It has recuperated a slim percentage of its true power and has gained intelligence once again. However, it'll die after an hour.

*PING*... the Fallen Summoned 'Magma Crow Lord' has been reanimated for a short time, evolution of its grade has been granted.

 

*PING*... you've successfully killed an Enlightened...

*PING*... you've successfully killed an Enlightened...

*PING*... you've successfully killed an Enlightened...

 

*PING*... the Lord grade BOSS Apathetic Fallen Summoner has been depleted of its entire mana pool. It's trying to escape!

 

*PING*... - ... - ... Apathetic Fallen Summoner has been successfully slayed. SP+10,000 and Fame+10,000.

*PING*... the floor's progress has been updated. Objectives: [Kill Fallen Summoners: 6/15].

 

. . .

Sigh~.

Tongqiu no longer felt as exhausted as before. He was indeed tired but it was mostly because he had to always be at his best. These motherfuckers were agile, some may not be as agile or not be able to attack but some of them didn't lack a couple of skills as terrifying as that of the Filthy Spawn's and Deserter's with instant speed, so as to say. The worst were the type of flying Fallen Summoned who could just leave after he cut them just a little as other Fallen Summoned would ragingly charge at him without a care.

*PING*... you have reached an extra level cap for the current release of Rising Essence, as a reward, Mind Power+1.

'Mn, if I'm not wrong, now I have the amount of 353 stat points of Mental Power. Now...' Tongqiu was calmly thinking as he then opened once again his skills window. Then, he straightforwardly upgraded Transient Divine Burst to LV8 by spending 67,200 SP which left him at another 'low' amount of 17,409. If other players were to know that Tongqiu's current SP is considered 'low', how would they react? Usually, their skills need 1SP to level up from LV1 to LV2, and 15SP to level up from LV4 to LV5... 

It was only once their first skills evolved that the game would reset their needed SP without not only not lowering their skills to the basic effects but instead upgrading them even more. Of course, this rarely happened since a player needed to class up so as to have their skills evolved. But there were some individual with enough Mental Power that allowed them to have their skills evolved before it happened, some sooner than others and some others right away. Of course, if one had their class skills evolved before their class advancement, they wouldn't evolve for free again right after, but they could evolve their skills when reaching certain level, exactly in the same manner that their skills evolved by themselves thanks to their comprehension aka Mental Power stat.

And though thanks to some people, the stat 'Mental Power' was starting to become known through Rising Essence's forums, such posts were slowly, very slowly  gaining the attention they deserved. It wasn't until today that some devs themselves promoted such a post 'behind the scenes'... basically, anyone that did a little of momentary investigation would find out it was done by them, of course nobody complained asides from  doing so jokingly since this information was really important, specially for the future of Rising Essence, to which smart, wise and omnipotent Tongqiu once again didn't know about.

[Transient Divine Burst]: Type: Active/Self-Buff, MAX LV: 10, LV: 8, SP needed for next LV: 89,600, cooldown: 1 minutes, cost: 1,500 MP and 1,500 Stamina and 30% of the host's total HP. You've gone through arduous battle experience and comprehended a skill that has never been as flexible when it comes to melee battle empowering. Effect: Once this skill is activated, all your melee attack's type of damage are the adjoined by your Physical and Magical Power; all your basic attacks without any other skill empowering them or transforming them increases its total damage dealt by 240%, your attacks also gain a +30% chance of stunning the enemy and Critical Hit Rate+18%. All kinds of damage received are reduced by 50%. Duration: 20 seconds.

'Mm, time to go back.' As Tongqiu thought of such, he abruptly stopped for a few seconds before turning around and yelling at all the remaining 9 Fallen Summoners: "Wait for me, in a couple more days I'll tenderly put you all to deaaath~!"

As he then hastily ran away, the Fallen Summoners commenced shrieking the same way they did before, out of the blue. Yet, none of them moved towards Tongqiu as he promptly stopped logging off when he sensed some strange things.

Tongqiu: ⚆ _ ⚆

Fallen Summoners: ༼ ºل͟º ༼ ºل͟º ༼ ºل͟º ༽ ºل͟º ༽ ºل͟º ༽  __________ ༼ ºل͟º ༼ ºل͟º ༼ ºل͟º ༽ ºل͟º ༽

'...Fucking disconnect!' Tongqiu screamed in his mind.

Tshiinnn~!
