Re: Evolution Online

Gresh kingdom, royal city…

The situation in the city at the moment was so peaceful that Shen Yue, Mei Mei and a group of core players were sitting around and chatting aimlessly. 

This same event was happening throughout the whole city but at least the others had some PVP action. But since this group was near the royal kingdom even that was not there. 

"How long is this going to last?" Mei Mei yawned lazily. She was feeding her panther a fresh batch of meatballs which she acquired from Shen Yue.

"Don't know. I am so bored." Ian murmured in response, trying to aim at a distant player or beast with his arrow. At this point, he did not care which one he hit. He simply needed someone to come at him.

"That's enough." Shen Yue immediately reprimanded them. The group quickly quieted down, no one wanting to disobey her. 

By now, word had spread that she was the girlfriend of the big boss, thanks to two people, Mei Mei and Rey. So everyone treated her with respect and fear. 

Also, after forming the mana core, Shen Yue's abilities were at a completely different level. To listen to her was the wise thing to do.

A few more minutes passed by in silence with everyone observing the royal palace like a hawk when suddenly loud horns started blaring once again.

"What's happening now?"

"Something is going down!"

Everyone immediately became alert. The couple of assassin players wandering in the front lines quickly sent the updates to the team. And just like they suspected something huge was indeed going down.

All of a sudden the beasts fighting against the players started shouting in an enraged voice. Their eyes became red and they started attacking in a frenzy without any self-preservation as if they had lost their minds. 

Not just that but their attack power and health as well suddenly sky-rocketed. If every player was facing a random mob character before, now they were facing an elite boss!

And this did not happen just in the Gresh Kingdom, it was happening all over the world, in every kingdom. Players who had only just now somewhat stabilized their group and the beasts they were fighting with suddenly found themselves overwhelmed yet again.

Without any warning, their opponents became several times more powerful. The blows coming their way turned deadly and lethal and in a second, there was mass chaos. Once again players started appearing in the graveyard en masse.

Players were struggling and barely holding on even in the Gresh Kingdom where there were currently not that many beasts. In the other kingdoms, the situation was that much worse. Just like that the battle once again turned in the favour of the beast horde.

As wave after wave of beasts kept on coming, for every hundred beasts about a dozen were these special elite boss beasts that had unbeatable power and insane health reserve. Guilds had to set up raid units just to keep them engaged.

Every second the situation was becoming worse and worse. If this continued then there would only be a complete and utter massacre, perhaps the entire human population could be wiped out!

Everyone's faces turned ugly and ashen as this harsh reality dawned on them. For the first time, the horror of this game was out in the open for all the players across the world to see.

With the god of death knocking at the doorstep, everyone furiously typed in their system interface to force log out. It didn't matter if they belonged to a government guild or top guild, they simply wanted to get out. Unfortunately, that was still impossible.

"Aiyoooo! I am going to die here!"

"Let me go! Let me go! I want to see my wife and daughter!"

"Damn it! I am still a virgin! I don't want to die yet!"

The mass hysteria and panic spread like a wildfire. Players even began hiding inside buildings to escape from the beast horde fully knowing that something like this could probably buy them only a couple of seconds. They simply did not know what else to do.

And amidst this chaos and confusion, suddenly another set of NPCs emerged from the shadows. The Dukes, Grand Dukes of the various Kingdoms along with the military Generals appeared out of their hideouts.

These were the true powerhouses of the kingdoms and now, finally, they got down to do the dirty work themselves. The tides of the war immediately turned as these monsters started tossing out powerful attacks to combat the berserk beasts.

Huge meteorites started falling from the sky, earth shook, the ground split apart here and there spewing out fire, ice spears and lava rained, the entire place turned chaotic as one massive attack after another assaulted the elite beasts.

"Oh dear god!"

"Thank you, Jesus!"

All the players immediately rejoiced. Finally, there was some light at the end of the tunnel. The situation that looked hopeless just a second ago, now slowly started returning to the formal equilibrium.

Thankfully, the NPCs intervened in time. It was almost as if the players were never expected to fight these on their own. But it did not matter how the event was designed. All the players were just happy they were not killed left and right anymore.

Peace returned and several guilds even started to try and kill steal from the NPCs triggering a whole other series of events. Though logging out was still impossible, players once again participated in the event with gusto.

And in the midst of this comeback, Shen Yue finally received a notification that she was waiting for. Her special kingdom quest prompt flashed in front of her again.

<Ding. New Kingdom Quest available>

<Ding. The princess of the Gresh Kingdom is in great distress. Escort her unharmed to a safe location without falling prey to the enemies all around>

<Ding. Do you wish to accept this quest? Y/N>

Shen Yue hurriedly pressed the Y and this time there was a blinking mark on the map that pointed her straight to the target she was supposed to protect.
