Chapter 97: Treasure (1/2)

Karna started to explore the floating island of atlantia , the island was one of the weirdest places in the entire game. Almost like it was not from a planet like Earth at all.

The vegetation was completely different from anything that karna had ever seen.

The forest was not lush green , but more of a multicolored hotchpotch. With yellow , red , pink , and blue trees.

Apparently the only animal native to the island was a small bunny at level 7 , it was no threat to Karna as it ran away at sight.

The entire island covered about 20 km^2 area hence it was not possible for Karna to scour it completely in the short time duration he had!

The initial guild plan was to scour the island and look for treasures using the 50 man manpower and leave before the island started to drift , to look for better opportunities.

However there was no ship left , and about 10 hours left for Karna to survive before having the option to clear the dungeon appeared. He had 5 hours after that to try gain more opportunities. Soo a max of 15 hours.

Well , atleast on the island his survival was ensured ..... Or atleast thats what he hoped.

Instead of manning a ship alone , and fighting swarms of monsters , atleast the island was safer. Also he would probably not even find the treasure in the given time.

He started to go towards the centre of the island , some gut feeling told him to head there , as scouring the entire periphery might take more than 6 hours and there was always the threat of the Kraken .

Karna started to venture deeper inland in hopes of finding a treasure tomb or some chests or maybe a mountain of gold.

Karna was just like any other man , as even before he laid his hands on the treasure his imagination ran wild with possibilities.

At first it was about the items he may get , he dreamed about covering himself from top to bottom with top notch gear. Then he thought about Rudra, and presenting him with a great item from the loot, just to look at his reaction like , woahhh if you can gift me epic items , i can give you legendary ones.

Then the imagination completely ran wild , with him fantasizing about the guild members praise at solo clearing the dungeon , and how he fought a heroic fight for hours at end and risked his life to gain some treasures ..... Ahem ... Ahem , no maybe that would be too much .

But yes , he wanted to bask in their glory , be the centre of attention and praise. As deep down he did not feel capable enough to be called the vice guild master of the elites. It was not like he lagged in the skill department, compared to ordinary players , he was wayy better. But in an Elites party , he was just like every other member , maybe slightly better at swordsplay , but that was it. Sometimes he felt even that slight advantage was because Rudra gave him the slaughterer blade.

He was desperate to solidify himself as the worthy vice guild master , especially when Rudra lead by example , Rudra was untouchable even within the Elite ranks , the boss was the boss his skills and leadership worthy of being the guild leader. Karna did not wish to lag on that aspect, and this was his chance.

About 2 hours into venturing into the island , Karna saw a ginormous tree ... A tree the size of many skyscrapers , well atleast the base trunk was that large , while the height was equal to a ten story building at max.

This was a very odd tree , karna made out, as within the entire island , it was the only tree with green leaves and a brown trunk!
