"W-What is wrong with you today, stop saying weird stuff and just put on clothes," Alex said immediately.

"I'm just joking, why so serious" Annie smiled.

"Annie, you said you were sad last night, what happened?" Alex asked.

"Ohh, I went out with some friends and they pissed me off, so I came here," Annie said with a smile.

"I thought something happened last night, luckily it was nothing, now go clean my bathroom so I can take my bath" Alex snorted.

"Hey, you can't let a girl clean your bathroom, that bad" Annie pouted.

"Why is that bad...you were the one that destroyed my bathroom floor, be quick because I have to leave"

"Leave? Where are you leaving to, are you running away with your girlfriend" Annie chuckled.

"I live in my own apartment, if I had a girl we would stay here instead of running away. I'm going back home for a while, I miss my family"

"Really...you sound like you don't want to go, were you forced to come back home?"

"No, I just wasn't planning to go back that's all," Alex said.

"Alex would you help me clean, I promise to pay you back with something else," Annie said with a smile.

Alex stood up from the ground and walked towards his bed, he yawned and slumped on his bed, and looked towards Annie.

"When you are done, let me know"

"Pfff...I thought for a second there you wanted to help me, what if I just run away, you won't be able to catch me, I'm already dressed" Annie spoke as she moved towards the door.

"Fine, but you know where I'm going to get you right...and you look good in male clothing" Alex smiled as he closed his eyes.

"Fine I'll clean it, this is not fair you know that right"

"You made the mess, it's only fair you clean it by yourself, so off you go, and make sure you get all the stains,"

The door to Aaron's office opened and Williams ran inside with a smile on his face, Aaron couldn't help but wonder what made him that happy.

"The top players found a mythical dungeon, they formed a team of eight players and are planning to raid the dungeon right now" Williams spoke.

"A team, eight top players formed a team, are you sure?" Aaron asked.

"Yes, don't you want to watch the battle, it would surely be interesting," Williams said.

"Which dungeon was found, which beast is guarding the dungeon?"

"It's not ideally the first mythical dungeon they should have found but I'm sure they are up to the task, they found the Minotaur's dungeon"

"Minotaurs are tough opponents with affinity to almost all the strongest magical elements, lightning, fire, earth... which of the top players went?" Aaron muttered.

"Rank one to rank eight, nine, and ten are absent"

"I hope they all survive, because the end is drawing close with each passing minute"

"Is it time?" Williams asked nervously.

"I don't know but I was told to speed up the process, that means it's just a matter of time before it happens," Aaron said.

"But speeding up the process isn't a good idea, all the players are still playing with the mentality that it's just a game, we still need more time"

Williams knew what the true purpose of Nova Online was, the game was a way to prepare humans and humanity for what is to come, but not everyone in the world would take part in the game so the few who took part had to be powerful to stop an attack.

The Elder Gods had chosen their avatars, who were the current top players of Nova Online, Wraith, Bloodmoon, Death, Carnage, and Huntress.

"We need more time but we don't have much time, we'll speed up the process by increasing everything, beasts, dungeons, attacks, and wars, everything would be increased to reduce weak players"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Okay, I'll relay that to the team," Williams said and turned around to leave.

"You should watch their battle, I'm sure it would definitely be interesting," Aaron said to Williams as he walked out.

Aaron was the chief creator of Nova Online, so he made a VR helmet that could enable him to watch the activity going on inside the game without actually playing.

"I hope the warriors are up to the task, if they fail the whole world would be destroyed by that demon" Aaron muttered as he closed his eyes.

Immediately he felt a rush of cold and immediately he opened his eyes, he wasn't in his office anymore and this wasn't the first time he had been here.

Five chairs formed a circle and five figures sat on the chairs, they were in a confined room and Aaron slowly walked forward till he was close to where the figures were.

"Elders..." Aaron fell to his knees and greeted the Elder Gods.

"On your feet" one of the voices spoke and immediately Aaron stood up, his head still facing down as he didn't want to look at the faces of the Elder Gods.

Aaron was a lesser god and had no right to look at the faces of the Elder Gods except when he is given permission.

"How are the preparation?"

"It's still not ready but I've made plans to fasten the process and eliminate unworthy candidates," Aaron said.

"You must have come across the sixth's avatar"

"Yes I have, but I didn't realize he had the mark because unlike the others, his mark isn't permanent" Aaron spoke.

"We are going to eliminate him from existence, we can't afford to leave him unchecked when the demon returns"

"I have a question," Aaron said.

"Speak up young one"

"The demon was sealed by humans years ago and the seal weakened over time and now he is trying to break free, can't the seal be restored or repaired before the demon breaks out?" Aaron asked.

"The seal was formed by humans who had magical prowess and were chosen by us, but in this era, humans had lost the way of magic and focused on technologies that would be able to defend against the demon and his armies" one of them spoke in a hoarse voice.

"We can't help them in their struggles but we can assist them, that was why you were selected Aaron the god of games, your orders were to create a virtual reality game to prepare humans to fight against the demon" another spoke.

"Isn't that enough, it is up to humans to fight the demons off"

"Most of the players aren't that powerful, only a few are actually strong enough but they are still humans with no special or magical abilities, they won't be able to survive," Aaron said.

"Are you saying we made the wrong choice?" one of them said as he stood up.

Immediately Aaron fell to his feet, "No that is not what I meant, only the five chosen warriors would have special abilities but they can't be everywhere at once"

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "We already have a solution to that, so work on creating more capable warriors, you are dismissed"

Aaron bowed his head, his eyes were already closed and when he opened them, he was back at his office.

Aaron was one of the lesser gods, and so were his sister Aurora and his other sister Alice who met Alex in the dungeon, all the lesser gods take orders from the Elder Gods.

Aaron stood up from his chair and sighed heavily, his job had gotten a little harder now that the time was near.

Many years ago, a power-seeking king came across an artifact that granted him powers in exchange for his soul, with his demon powers war was a joke for him, and he set his sight to conquer the world.

Magic reigned supreme in that era but no mage could stand against his powers, till the Elder Gods chose five warriors and granted them extraordinary magical powers, the five of them fought against the demon king weakening him till they were able to seal him.

Years had passed since then and the demon king had regained his powers and was trying to break the seal, the Elder Gods noticed this and made preparations to stop him once again.
