1202: Catching the Sun II

Catching the Sun II

A loud burst of cheers erupted in the observation room of the headquarters of Atlas Inc. As much as they like to watch Adrian or his attitude when he visited them, they do not want to work overtime. The fact that he died immediately from one attack from the First Sun Guardian made them almost cry for joy.2

Despite the great monetary benefit from overtime, they still want to rest as much as possible. They lost quite a bit of sleep from Adrian due to him months ago and they do not want to experience that again. They actually held their breaths when Adrian encountered the First Guardian of the Sun.

Even though they knew that Adrian will never win against the powerful enemy, they do not want to cling to hope that easily. They have already seen instances where Adrian could turn the tide of the situation with his quick thinking. They prayed that he would get defeated immediately as rest is their only wish when times are tough.

"But is the First Guardian of the Sun supposed to be that powerful? From the buffs that it has, it already rivals an enemy that is a hundred levels above it." The secretary of the development director asked.

"That is actually intended because it is still too early for the Project Code: Sol to actually commence. This is the layers of extra protection that we have intended to do as prevention for unwanted circumstances." One of the members of the development team stated.

"You see, in Pandemonium…The Sun is not just a sun. What do you think will happen is something happens to the sun of a universe? Also, you have seen the world of Niflheim, right? Why do you think that only small worlds could hold prison to gods? Do you think the sun cannot be used as such as well?" The development director stated as the Project Code: Sol is the project that he developed with immense detail.

The development director himself coded every scenario possible for Project Code: Sol as he was always fascinated by the sun. He actually dreamed to reach the sun when he was a child but even the advancement of technology cannot withstand its might in the real world. He made sure that he can make his fantasies come alive in Pandemonium at least.

"Nevertheless, it is still too early to unlock Project Code: Sol. Everyone! Monitor that every guardian of the sun is doing their duties properly and see to it that the Star Protectors quest is looked into. Also, what is the Arcane Mechanic player doing right now?" The development director stated.

"Currently, no one has unlocked the Star Protector quest line." The observer for that quest line stated.

"As for the Arcane Mechanic, she has yet to get the skill to form powerful Arcana Technology which is why we will be safe for at least one more year." The observers for the player with the job class of Arcane Mechanic stated.

[You have died from the attack of the First Guardian of the Sun.]

[You cannot revive in your death location due to several restrictions.]

[You will be revived back to Avalon.]

[Do you wish to revive or go to Limbo for the death respawn?]

"I shall revive immediately in Avalon." Adrian stated as he did not expect that he cannot revive in space.

Adrian respawned immediately back in Avalon with a frown on his face. He did not expect that a monster such as the First Guardian of the Sun will be present. That level 400 monster did not even have stats for its level because it could easily kill anything below level 500 by his estimation.

"Reaching the real sun is a pipe dream. I can try again but it was just the first guardian. How many more guardians will there be if I manage to sneak pass the first one? I have no time to experiment and find out. 

One month is the time limit to become stronger or else I might forfeit Avalon. I might be able to scrape a similar number of resources, so I do not forfeit my territory. I do not intend to lose the guild war as it is the first. We must win in order to send a message to anyone that dares to use such a thing towards us." Adrian muttered to himself.

Adrian does not want to lose or forfeit the guild war that is pushed on them. He wants to send anyone that wants to challenge their guild a message. He wants to win in such an overwhelming manner that will make the others cower just trying to think of ever facing them.

If he does not do so, then the stream of challenges will become endless. He must send a firm message saying that you will stand no chance even with an advantage in numbers. As the guild master, he must become an extremely tall pillar that will overshadow his opponents. A pillar so tall that it would make anyone see it immediately feel nauseated just from looking how high it is.

"What seems to be the problem, Champion Equinox? It seems that you have been in deep thought for such a long time already." A voice that is sent via telepathy stated.

Adrian looked back to the source of the voice and saw the Tree of Life and Death swaying its branches as it was playing with the Prophets of Life and Death. Vitae and Mortem could be seen enjoying the company of the Tree of Life and Death. They did not bother Adrian because he was deep in thought earlier despite wanting to play with him.

"I just want to become stronger to protect what I have built. There are many people eyeing for everything that I have created as they can easily snatch it should I fall." Adrian stated.

"If that is what is causing you to overthink then I guess I should remind you what I liked about you." The Tree of Life and Death stated.
