38 Cruxia Duaghter of the Moon (1/2)

The everlasting night held a cold wind traversing through the lands of the dark continent. This continent was enchanted to be forever in the dark the land was cold and harsh.The people who live upon it were the same surviving the desolate wastes. There were few kingdoms of humans, most were those of the demon, dragon, and vampire clans.They were the ones who held great power, as for the humans they struggled to survive.They had only one major city, which was protected by a Dragon clan member, if not it would have been destroyed long ago.

Close to the human city were many villages, these villages were under constant attack from hordes of monsters and other things that lived in this continent.It was truly survival of the fittest villages were being constantly attacked, but the Royal Guardsmen usually stepped in to protect them.This had been the only saving grace for the villagers, until recently the capital stopped sending aid to certain villages.Unless the villages gave the capital a large amount of their crops and earnings the capital would ignore the plights of the villages.

At first the villages kept up with the demands, but they could see how this had become quite a problem for them.They lost most of their reserves and soon they would no longer be able to protect themselves.That's when they began to trade for cultivation techniques and teach them to their children.That's when the capital stepped in taking the strongest cultivators for themselves, leaving the weak ones to defend the villages and die.

Cruxia had been chosen as one of the weak cultivators left with a few of her friends to defend their little village.She had dark purple hair with streaks silver lining her hair, fair light skin and deep yellow eyes.She had seen so many battles throughout her life that it was depressing.She had seen so many people she cared about die.She had been a survivor twenty years old, a lonely cultivator of the fourth stage.Only one of her friends had survived all of the troubles she had faced, he lay in the hospital now, bones broken from their last encounter with a demon beast they had found next to a shipment of goods.She had dropped him off after helping him from her shack.

They had both found a shipment that was headed for the capital. They found and read the note that had come with it.

”This is the netgear is an artifact given from myself to the people of your kingdom, enjoy the adventure cultivator.Once you begin you will see the power you wield increase several fold.There is a technique attached to this letter to power the artifact use it well.Good luck cultivators”

It also had instructions on when cultivators of different realms could join and how the items could be transferred out into the real world. This was a gift from the heavens the only problem was the city would obviously use this to their own selfish gain.There were one hundred and fifty gear helmets left, Cruxia secretly stole fifteen of them.Then returned the rest to the city if it was true that they could gain immense power from just using this gear she would risk her life to obtain it.

She carefully selected a group of cultivators to use this gear and used this mysterious <I'mabattery> technique charging the gear then took her group of fifteen cultivators to begin their journey.At first it was difficult to get used to the new world it was so bright!Full of colors she had never seen, she also had a master whom was quiet eccentric.She had chosen the Hunter class <Daughter of the Moon> it was a class which had incredible bonuses fighting in the night.Not only that she had an owl familiar which followed her around.It was linked to her so she could see what it could see and hear what it heard.

The small group entered the game finding it to be an interesting game of hunting creatures that were within their reach.Even though some were tough like the special bosses they never had any problems finishing of the powerful ones.Eventually they landed on this keep quest to defend this powerful structure from monster waves.They had lost a couple of their party especially on the last wave but they had managed to not only free this demon lord but defeat a god avatar. Everyone had been rewarded. To the allies they lost they were given soul repair medicinal pills instead of these weird scrolls the ones that survived received.

The best reward was her new weapon twin daggers that had amazing effects these would help with the defense of the village.She had the group of friends swear they would not tell anyone of what had happened it would be too dangerous if the city got word of their accomplishments.The city had experts of the fourth realm they could not afford to alert them to what they had done.

She came and sat down with Faux helping him back into the bed, he had fought so wildly in the game full of life.He had recovered slightly especially that he was in the fifth stage. He had only begun at the third now in one night he was one of the most powerful young experts in the country.

”It was the first good night we have had in long time. I can't believe I will say this, but I actually had fun.”He said smiling. Faux had light purple hair with streaks of black, dark black skin, and light green eyes.He held a <Greater Wind Elemental Core> in his hands glaring at it.

”Put that away if anyone see's you with it we will all be either killed or captured!”Cruxia whisper in a very serious tone.

Faux did, then pulled out a book his master had lent him.”This book shows the way of the sword master said.He said this is the way a cool wielder of a katana should act, helping my cultivation increase a thousand fold.He said this was a literary masterpiece but not to follow the sword style just how he acts.”He opened up the book reading <Rurouni Kenshin> interested to read what his master had left him.

Cruxia had not seen him so excited in a long time, to think he almost gave up on life before they had begun this new journey.This ”other world” was a gift sent for them in this their greatest time of need.She could only hope to meet this powerful cultivator to thank them for this life saving game.She didn't care that they were ranked number one with two other sects she was just happy to be in position to help her village.
