I approach the door to the orphanage and knock on it. Amelia answers it with a nice smile and proceeds to welcome me in. “I didn’t think you would be so fast, Joshua is a very vile man with no morals. How did you kill him?” She clearly understood the threat of someone like Joshua breathing down her neck in the worst way possible. I walk through the door and she brings me to the table.

I take out the necklace and place it on the table as she stares at it. “I snuck in and cut off his head and snuck back out. It was pretty easy considering that nobody was protecting him seriously. They might not even know he is dead yet.” She looks impressed by my words, she reaches out and grabs the necklace. As soon as she has it in her palms it started to glow with an intense light.

She looks absolutely shocked and stares at me with scared and confused eye’s. I give my best surprised look as well, but I know everything is going just like the forum said it would. Amelia brings the necklace closer to me and it shines brighter. “I cant believe it…” She looks at me filled with a lot of emotion, most of it happiness. The rest is fear and shame by the looks of it. I look at the necklace and a system prompt comes up.

[System: You have completed your mission.]

[Rewards]

[You have leveled up!]

[Hidden reward activating…]

[System: Do you accept the divine class: The Son of Arch-Angel Michael? Y/N]

[You have 10 seconds to decide…10….9….8]

I quickly accept the class and the divine light from the necklace flows into me with an intense heat. After the light fades and my vision clears I get many system notices.

I cant help my shock at these skills, I understand why Blue Chaos shot to the top of the leaderboards in a little over a year. With every tier upgrade I unlock at least one new passive or active skill. Before I can finish thinking about my new power Amelia hugs the life out of me. “I cant believe I get to meet my son after such a long time….If I knew it was you I wouldn’t have sent you to deal with Joshua….” Even if she is an NPC you cant blame her, this world is as real to them as mine is too me. I hug her back as she releases tears, now here comes something I cant control.

[World-wide System Announcement: A player has discovered and received the Divine Class: The Son of Arch-Angel Michael! This class is one of a kind and is now unavailable to the rest of the Players! This players life rating is now higher than everyone else’s forever! This player will receive special quests and rewards due to his divine class and higher priority!]

[World Mission Announcement: The church of light wants any information regarding The Son of Arch-Angel Michael. They will give rewards of epic quality and thousands of gold coins in exchange for valuable info.]

[World Mission Announcement: Whoever ends up hurting or killing The Son of Arch-Angel Michael will lose severe favor with the gods of light. They will be heavily rewarded by the dark ones. You could end up being rewarded better classes and have higher priority with the forces of darkness!]

The announcements went on repeat for 1 minute and 30 seconds. This is the exact same thing that happened to Blue Chaos when he received the divine class. The NPC’s can hear there own versions of the announcements through there worlds magic. The players will never know what they are saying, but it is confirmed. Amelia shakes her head in worry. “This is all my fault. Now the whole world will be coming for you.” She is trying so hard to hold back the tears and not quiver in hurt and fear.

I play the role I am supposed to play and hug her like a good son would. It gives me a heavy heart doing this to someone. Even though she is an NPC she still feels the way a human would. “There is no way you could have known. It was an unexpected meeting, I guess it was fate if you think about it.” She dries her tears and looks at the rest of the kids in the orphanage. This next part was also in the forums.

She looks back at me with a hurt face and a heavy heart. “You cant stay here my son. I cant bare to lose these kids. They were my light in the darkness when I didn’t have you. Please take my last name and wear it proud, I also want you to visit me when you can.” These are all easy things I can do. The people of this world are not like the ones from mine in that they are a balanced people.

I am not in a rush to start grinding levels right now, the combat zones aren’t even open yet because the devs want the players to get familiar with the interface and towns. Tomorrow they will unlock the wilds for us to grind levels. I get the final system notice of this quest after I go through all the notifications.

[You have completed the hidden divine quest: The Son of Arch-Angel Michael. Congratulations on being the first player to get a divine class! +100 to all stats.]

[Will you change your name so that NPC’s can see Slayer Zern instead of Slayer? Y/N]

I see no reason not to, my name to players will always be Slayer. I think yes and my interface has a grayed out Zern next to my green Slayer name. All these stat bonuses should put me way ahead of the current player base. Now is a good time to inspect my stats.

There is no point in using my skill points right now. I am on par with a level 10 elite monster as of this moment. I still have things I need to do here in Blue grass today, they will open the wilds for us players tomorrow. I have everything I need for a strong foothold in this new world. I look over to Amelia as she looks out the window sad that I have to go. “I will visit at least once a month, maybe more, I promise. Now that I have so many people after me this is the best I can offer.” She nods her head and walks me to the end of her little road. “If you want I’ll find a way to get you out of this place and live somewhere better. All you have to do is say so.” She nods her head no, I am confused by this.

She takes a deep breath as it is now time for me to leave. “It is safer if I remain here, the less attention the better. I can easily provide for the kids. I live here because I was told to by your father. He always knew what the right choice was.” I don’t want to argue with her and I say my goodbye for now. I make my way to the inn that provides food and beds. You get buffs if you log out in a rented room.

When I entered the inn it was packed with NPC’s and players alike all having a good time and partying. I walk up to the counter and pay for a room and head there. I log off and its already dark outside. I go to my laptop and open up the forums. It is no surprise that the top thread is talking about the World announcements. There are plenty of people asking different things. Most of them are guild representatives looking for the player. Good thing R&X Inc. protect the identities of players.

I should just relax until tomorrow and log on when the wilds open up. The wilds are the notorious beginner areas around beginner cities in Ancients World. The biggest impact that Ancients World will have in the next year is how much its in game currency is worth in the really world. I know if I play my cards right I can set my family up for life and save my parents. I lay down on my nice comfortable bed and drift off to sleep.
