Adrian was then transported to the user interface of the gamepod and the update timer for the game popped up.
<Pandemonium> 4:59:00 time remaining to finish update
“What just happened?!” Adrian shouted at the user interface.
“I am unable to answer that user MyCraftySon for the question does not have a particular issue.” the AI replied.
“Ughh. Nevermind. Please enter Pandemonium forums. Username :Little Void Password:*******” Adrian said frustratingly.
The AI did exactly as he commanded and logged him in the forums. In the forums, the players were buzzing about the updates since it was only a month since the last update came. There were a mixture of topics like what will be in the game, why did it suddenly updated, etc.
The sudden update alarmed the top guilds so when they were logged out, they instructed all their members to log in to their chat group. In the chat group, they speculated on what started the update. Some thrown their suggestion which some were plausible while some outright outrageous. The top guilds all had the same speculation that someone either triggered the event or it was a surprise event since the last update just introduced the summoner job and a few bug fixes.
As Adrian was scrolling to the numerous threads that contained rants and excitement. Atlas Inc. posted the teaser of the upcoming event.
Patch Notes:
Event Teaser: Undead Rising
An ancient evil that has slumbered for eons has woken up and is planning its return to the mortal plane.
Notes: This event will be playable for all players regardless of level. All players are encouraged to participate in the event. Successful clearing of this event will unlock the mage job class of Necromancer. If unsuccessful in defeating the ancient evil, the topography and power balance of the kingdoms will shift.
The forums went nuts when this nugget of information was released. All over social media or other platforms that engages in conversation has news about the update posted and shared by people of all ages since this was a world changing event.
Because of the teaser released, Adrian suddenly remembered about the anomaly that happened with the dungeon boss. He remembered that when he used Inspect on the monster it showed Undead as a name modifier and unknown level.
“Could it be?! Did I trigger the event?” Adrian pondered.
He does not know if his guess is accurate but if it is how did he trigger it. He wracked his brain trying to remember how and the only clue he could think of is the Amulet of Chaos.
“It’s probably that weird necklace” Adrian thought.
As he was still brainstorming, a notification popped up in front of him.
(Dinner is ready?) Mom
“Well, no one can think on an empty stomach” Adrian said to himself and logged out.
The hatch on the game pod opened and Adrian sat up . He wanted to know if he can move his legs. So he patiently tried to tell his legs to lift up, in his mind of course. He tried for 10 minutes and all he did was lift both his legs by a quarter inch which made him produce a pained smile.
“Well, Rome was not built in a day” Adrian told himself to boost his spirit up.
He supported his lower body using his hands in order to transfer his body to his hovering wheelchair. He went downstairs where his dinner awaits and the story he will tell about his adventures.
