Rise of the Undead Legion

Chapter 499 - Baby Steps

The party continued uneventfully, most of the guests were too busy trying to kiss up to the Don to actually bother with greeting the birthday girl properly. Dave noticed that and turned to see that Mercy didn’t actually have any friends besides the small group of him, Zoe, and Ralph already at her table.

The other group of girls consisting of Jenny Tess and a couple more were more like an acquaintance than a true friend to her. The miss was a princess but, in a house, where people were all about their personal interest. No wonder she had a cold personality due to the lack of interaction with people.

Ralph seems to be the perfect match for her, not only is he a goof and the best bud for Dave, he has a way with people, he could make them speak their minds even if they didn’t want to. And he could also turn the coldest of girls to a blushing maiden. Exactly as what was happening right in front of Dave.

Ralph’s subtle, indecent yet funny comment made Mercy giggle from every once in a while, even in this mafia gangster infested atmosphere, the occasional laughter coming from Dave’s table was a fresh reminder of youth and when the material didn’t matter as much as they do right now for everyone present.

The party continued inside the Don’s palace, and Dave got a tour from Zoe herself, Mercy was accompanying her boyfriend who the Don didn’t comment even once on today. It seems that he also was thoughtful not to ruin his daughter’s day and decided to let go for today.

Zoe was an old friend of Mercy; she too didn’t really care for all of the protocols and stuff she had to follow when she was in the presence of the big boys. She was Dante Silvana’s Daughter, one of the United States biggest weapon trafficker, legally of course as long as he has Samuel Silvana to make everything look right.

Dante Silvana was an untouchable, a man made by the state, to deal in affairs the state didn’t want to be linked to. And even in the case of a serious mishap, Dante would momentarily take the blame, then his records will be brushed and erased anew.

Zoe lived with her father and knew what was outside of the well long before Dave ever left it. She had come to this mansion several times before to play with Mercy when they were both young, and it never changed since then.

Dave was in aw as he saw the decorations on display. From oil paintings dating to the sixteenth century and older, to bronze statues of warriors and jade vases from the east that looked so delicate a breeze would shatter them.

"I know this," Dave said as he noticed a painting on the wall. The painting was that of sunflowers.

"Yeah, Van Gogh, Vase with Fifteen Sunflowers."

"Yeah, we had a study about it back in high school I still remember. Huh, this looks really well made for a replica."

"Replica, hah, good one," Zoe said and moved on.

Leaving Dave starting at the painting once again. ’Could this actually be the real thing?’

Dave left the painting alone and followed after Zoe who kept showing him around. Finally she said, "This used to be my and Mercy’s playroom, we got here to hide from Sebastian and Bob, they were an annoyance."

"Sebastian? Ah you meen Door Props and Bodybuilder."

"What kind of names are those?" Zoe asked and Dave told her the story behind the nicknames they have.

She giggled at Dave’s weird naming sense, and led him inside the room. There were several pieces of furniture laying around all over the palace. From sofas to couches to tables and a gigantic Tv that actually spanned an entire side of the wall of the room. This was a place where the two girls escaped from what was going on outside the world.

Zoe let Dave get in firs then she locked the door behind her back.

"Emmm, what are you doing?" Dave asked.

"Well, no one is going to disturb us here," Zoe lifted her brows up and down suggestively.

"Oh well, I guess you’re right," Dave grinned and went toward her.

Kada Emile was observing the servers for all sorts of bugs that were recently occurring, they didn’t account for much for now. A few pixilation of monsters and some creatures losing levels for some strange reason. Yet the second piece of the puzzle was exposed once the battle with the Ash King and The Undead Legion had started.

Two entities, one of them still as Albert said, an embryo entity that will grow into a world boss in the future. The robed man like any other entity was an in game entity that will generate its own lore based on the past events of the game and will create a character that will relate to its future events. It is like a regular person making their own history. It will grow and change into something big in the future.

This was how all of the entities of Conquest were created. They all made their own history with their hands. However, Emile kept checking the creation code of the entity and didn’t find anything special about it. It was no different than a normal farmer NPC in his logs. It didn’t have any aspirations, any hopes or dreams. Which made it too regular, too normal to be walking around with Ashkar and the monk Cha Zen. These two half deities would not ever have a goal or an objective in common.

But with this small entity among them, they seem to be working out a plan. Emile was still verifying what was going to happen in the near future, but for the life of him, he had no clue what would the upcoming events in Conquest will unfold. But he couldn’t keep the grin of his face.

His life project, the Undead Legion has been a major success. And thanks to David Ruster, it has risen back from the ash like a phoenix. The legion is bound to reshape conquest to a new game once it is released.

Now the whole staff is busting their ass off to get the game running smoothly and launched as fast as possible.
