MMORPG: Genesis

The Dungeon Starts

"So, John, can you share the quests?" Sarah asked with a smile. 

"Sure, just tell me how." John replied. 

"Easy, open you quest interface and you will see that each of your sharable quests now have a share button at the bottom of them, click that button and it will highlight, select all of the available quests and then make the same gesture as if you are showing an item of title to someone and it will gives us the option to accept." 

John did as he was told and soon. 

[You have shared the following quests with your party:] 

[Save the white Tiger. (Unique)] 

[White Tiger Bandits Records (Rare)] 

[Eliminate the Bandits. (Epic)] 

"An epic quest?" Sarah asked surprised as Vulxis also showed surprise. 

"Yeah, it was originally only a rare quest I got from the Adventures Hall, after I got captured and brought here it upgraded to epic." John explained. 

"You found an upgrade quest nice" Sarah said with a smile then explained after seeing John and Vulxis confused looks. 

"Upgrade quests are rare and not easy to find, they are a special quest that if you meet the hidden requirements, such as you getting captured and brought to the hideout they will automatically upgrade to a higher rank." 

"The problem is you never know which quests are actually upgrade quests or what you need to do to upgrade it, so it's all based on the players luck." 

"Ok let's see." Sarah said as she started to look through the quests. 

"So, the unique one is to save the tiger we know about, a rare one to find some records and the upgraded epic is to get twenty-five bandit insignias." 

"Actually, I also have a class quest, but it would not let me share that." John stated. 

"Yeah, that's normal for class quests, they're generally only for you alone unless you and another of your class are on the exact same quest which is not common." Sarah replied before adding. 

"Mind showing us your class quest?" 

John nodded before showing them his class quest he had received for this dungeon. 

"Ouch that penalty is harsh, a reduction in rank that could mean you end up losing your class." Vulxis said with a frown as John nodded in agreement. 

"Actually, it's not really anything to worry about." Sarah said before explaining. 

"John only needs two levels to get to his next class rank which will be easy in this dungeon, so even if he does fail, he will just drop back to rank he is at now, though as long as we don't do anything stupid like kill the animals, he should complete it fine." 

As Sarah finished speaking all the animals backed up in their cages slightly before Bandit said. 

"Hey bro I changed my mind, you can keep this crazy chick to yourself." 

"Anything else we need to know before we start?" Vulxis asked. 

"Not really, if anything needs explaining or I think you need guidance I will do it during the dungeon." Sarah replied and the other two nodded in agreement. 

"Oh, right, I almost forgot." Sarah said before taking out a bunch of potions and handing them to John. 

"Here Alea asked me to pick these up for you." 

"Thanks." John replied as he took the potions. 

[Items Received:] 

[Lesser Healing Potion x 10] 

[Minor Mana Potion x 10] 

[Lesser Healing Potion 5>>15] 

[Minor Mana Potion 11>>21] 

"Ok so if you're both ready we can begin, once we leave the safe zone the timer will start, and we will have twenty-four hours to clear the dungeon, if we don't a continental announcement will sound revealing its location and everyone under level twenty will swarm here." Sarah said before adding. 

"Although we will have a big head start, I would still prefer to complete this dungeon before then as we still have a banquet, we all need to prepare for that in roughly forty-eight hours." 

Vulxis nodded in agreement as John turned to her and asked in slight surprise. 

"Are you also going to be attending the banquet?" 

"Yeah, I will be coming with the Draconian delegation." Vulxis replied with a smirk as if she had just thought of something fun. 

"Your family must be fairly big in the Draconian race then?" 

"You could say that." Vulxis replied before giving Sarah a look, who understood what Vulxis wanted and also smirked before changing the topic. 

"Alright so it looks like this whole room is the safe zone so freeing this bunch of animals should be easy, however getting them out without them being killed is the tricky part." 

"Actually, I think I have a way to do that." John said before he went around all the cages and opened them all, he then stood slightly away from the two women who watched him curiously and said to the animals. 

"Everyone gather around me." 

The animals all did as they were told and when everyone had gathered John said. 

"Teleport: Emerald Enclave" 

A magic circle started to appear on the ground as the girls looked on in surprise and then after ten seconds John and all the animals disappeared in front of them. 

"Isn't that cheating?" Vulxis asked. 

Sarah just nodded her head unsure how to answer. 

*** 

John appeared in the Emerald Enclave surrounded by the animals as all the nearby Druids and other animals turned to look at them curiously. 

[Quest Update] 

[Number of animals freed and escaped the hideout alive: 7/20] 

"Nice it works." John said before. 

"Alright, off you all go." 

All the animals started to wander off except Bandit who said. 

"Hey bro thanks a lot mate, good luck with freeing the other animals and white tiger." 

"Did you say white tiger?" A Druid nearby happened to ask. 

"Bandit, can you explain to them for me, I need to get back and help rescue the others." John asked 

"Got it bro." Bandit replied before he hopped over to the Druid's and started to tell them what was going on as John said. 

"Teleport: Emerald Enclave" 

Ten seconds later he vanished from the Emerald Enclave and reappeared back in the safe zone where Sarah and Vulxis were waiting. 

"Did it work?" Vulxis asked. 

"Yup that's seven down." John smiled. 

"Nice" Vulxis smiled back. 

"Ok let's go Sarah said as she led the three out of the room where they all got the same notification." 

[Dungeon Exclusivity timer has started] 

[Time Remaining: 23:59:59] 

As they left the safe room, they entered a hallway that was lined with what John thought were magic stones on the walls that glowed with light allowing people to see. 

John had been brought along this hallway earlier when his captures brought him to the cage, and he knew just a bit ahead the path split. 

"The right path leads back to the entrance, there are a few bandits that way but nothing else really, nothing that looks like a records room or any animals." John told the two women. 

"Left it is then." Sarah said as they all took the left path. 

A moment later they came to a door that was left ajar and they could hear shouting on the other side. 

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU WON'T LET THE BEAR COMPETE." John recognized the voice as the one that belonged to the orc Gujjab. 

"It's a bear for fucks sake, how am I supposed to advertise bets for a fight between a bear and a rabbit?" Another voice John did not recognize stated. 

"Well why the fuck does he have to fight a rabbit?" Gujjab asked? 

"Because it's the rabbits turn, look we may not treat the animals well or feed them well, but I at least need them rested so they perform in the fights." The unknown voice replied before Gujjab Grumbled. 

"Give it Gujjab, he won't let him fight." Hedgal stated. 

Sarah looked at the two before using the party chat function to say. 

Ice Blue Queen: "Do either of you have any AOE skills?" 

Black Dragoon: "I have my Draconian Breath."

Vincarna: "I have Chain Lightning."

Ice Blue Queen: "That will work."

Ice Blue Queen: "I just looked through the gap and there are only four of them so we will go with the straightforward approach, after I kick the door open keep using your AOE skills till ether they die, they reach us which hopefully won't happen as my spell has a slow effect or you run out of mana in which case switch to basic attacks as they shouldn't have much health left and no use wasting potions so early." 

Ice Blue Queen: "Ready?"

John and Vulxis nodded with excited smiles and Sarah returned the smile before. 

BANG 

Sarah kicked the door in and all three started to channel their spells. 

"WHAT?" The four individuals in the room said. 

John recognized three of them since they were the three that captured him, Folwin, Gujjab and Hedgal. 

However, there was now a fourth with them that John decided to check out while he cast his spell. 

"Inspect."
