Chapter 22 - New Team

Every time a player or rather a human being died inside the game, their soul became a little weaker. Each death chipped a person's soul bit by bit.

This was a fact revealed several weeks into the game when someone eventually died from sheer exhaustion.

By then it was too late and almost the entire population's souls were corrupted in one way or the other. Not a single person possessed a whole and healthy soul.

Though Liam had no plans to become a hero or the savior of this world, he was also not cold-hearted enough to keep this particular piece of vital information to himself.

"Hmmm… I should probably post this later tonight in a forum or something."

Liam made a mental note and prepared to leave the mountain, heading to the next place he had in mind.

But as he stepped out, he noticed a couple of familiar figures standing in front of the other cave, right next to the dragon's lair. contemporary romance

"Ooh! What a coincidence! We meet again, expert!" Rey quickly walked over to him and eagerly sparked up a conversation. "Aren't you fighting the dragon, senior?"

Liam shook his head before turning to leave.

"Ahh. Wait. Wait a minute senior." Rey hurriedly shouted and ran over to him, seeing that the man was once again giving them the slip.

"This… We just found a dungeon here. Lair of the Ebon Raven. Our party got the discovery bonus and a big experience boost and drop rate bonus."

"We are still lacking two people. Do you want to join us senior?" Rey explained and asked Liam confidently, almost sure that he wouldn't be rejected.

The team running the dungeon for the first time typically got a 100% experience boost which was not an insignificant number, but even so, it was not enough to tempt Liam.

But, he didn't reject Rey. Instead, he paused for a moment before nodding his head in acceptance.

There was a reason why he did this. Liam had a hunch that there might be some clues in the dungeon. After all, the dungeon was located right next to the cave where he had obtained the three mysterious items.

If only the normal drops of the dungeon or the experience boost were taken into account then probably he did not need any of it, but he was not sure if any additional drops would be triggered because he possessed the unique items.

So Liam decided to run the dungeon at least once. He had to increase his level irrespectively and this was not a bad way.

"Yess! Got it, senior. We won't drag you down, I swear." Rey was ecstatic after seeing Liam nod.

"Alright. That's enough. What's your party composition?" Liam patted the excited young man and walked towards the dungeon.

Ha Ha Ha! Rey immediately revealed a big grin. "Bro. Just like you, I am also playing 'No Class'!" He even gave a thumbs up and a wink.

This idiot! Liam shook his head, smiling bitterly. "Add me to the party." He wanted to check their stats before starting the run.

If their condition was too bad, then there was no point in teaming up with them. Instead of carrying dead weights and idiots, it would make his life a lot easier if he simply went in all by himself.

Especially considering that this was only a beginner's dungeon!

He had already tempered his body, and he was also no longer Level 1. He leveled up twice from the fight with the wolves and was currently at Level 3.

So, for him, even Solo clear was not impossible!

Rey nodded and quickly added Liam to the team.

[Ding. You have been invited to join a party]

[Ding. Do you accept? YES/ NO]

Liam clicked 'Yes' and then silently inspected his three new teammates. Though he didn't have many expectations, to begin with, he was pleasantly surprised after seeing their stats.

All three of them were in fact at Level 4, a whole level higher than him or the bunch of players fighting with Niria beside them.

Also, among the three only Rey hadn't chosen any particular class.

One of the two girls had chosen the path of paladin while the other had chosen the role of a healer, more specifically a priestess.

While both a paladin and a priest relied on holy power, mana with the light elemental attribute infused within it, a paladin focused more on protection and preventing damage while a priest focused more on the healing aspect.

"Hmmm… Not bad. Not bad at all for a makeshift team." Liam muttered, without minding that he was actually speaking the words out loud.

Rey didn't care but he looked at his two sisters and nervously smiled, before turning back to Liam. "Bro, we are not really a makeshift team. We have played other games together."

"Mhm. Alright. Are we waiting for someone else or shall we start?" Liam ignored his remark and went directly to the point.

This time, it was not Rey who responded to him, but one of the two women, the paladin.. "We will be rolling for equipment drops and skill book drops impartially. Got it?"
