Since a lot of people asked me to, I've decided to finally end (end..?) up the Legendary Beastmaster's story.
Year 567 after Grand Tragedy..
Five years have passed since when I decided to do something, and already I have conquered the world. Every single part of this territory, may it be known or unknown, is mine. I thought that I had reached the top of the world, that I became so strong that nothing could make me better, but I was wrong. Seen from heaven the progress of a human, me, the Upper Gods decided that I was too powerful for the mortals, even for the Gods that were given eternal life on Earth. In their grand wisdom, these heaven leaders decided to remove me from human's world and bring me to Heaven, to make me a Grand Master, more known as GM. They gave me a week to think about it, saying that my role would be to help the humans destroy the monster's ''threat'' without directly interacting into their world. I would also be aware of their everyday problems and help them thought it. Of course, when I first heard that, I just wanted to laugh at the face of these foolish people who thought that I would help my worse enemies, but when they showed me their strength, and when they told me about all the power I would have as a GM, their offer looked quite interesting to me. I would be able to teleport anywhere at any time, I would be given extra strength, more powers, the ability to boost my statistics, and even more after a few years being a GM. The next morning, God Hades summoned me in his private shrine, and showed me their lands. It was a beautiful place, there was daylight 24 hours a day, and even if it was never raining, the flowers could still grow peacefully. Thinking about this, I finally accepted, realizing that there would probably be a way for me to become stronger than these Gods, and take the power out of them. At this moment, I couldn't know that these Masters could even read in my mind, and that they knew what I was thinking about...
Year 568 after Grand Tragedy..
Finally, the graduation time. For the last year, I've been stuck in this world, learning all the rules, a few of my new powers and making my beginnings as a GM, but always with another God looking over me. This place looked like a jail for me, since I was stuck there. And, when I escaped from this place, and tried to go kill monsters and gain more power, my master Hades was always there to punish me for what I had done. But now, this is it. I am an independent upper God, and even though I have to follow the same rules as all the others, there's no one to watch over me like a baby. I'll finally be able to become autonomous.
I can see there, standing with the rest of the Team 101, the Conquer Master, Lollipop. He passed by and congratulated me for my achievement. I thanked him, thinking that soon enough, I would have the pleasure to see him begging me to spare his life, shaking at my feet. This single vision gave me enough strength to keep faking my happiness during the rest of the ceremony.
There was also the GM Hades, which passed by and fastly congratulated me, after disapearing to help the poor mortals.
After a disgusting hug from GM Loki, I went in the front of everyone and made the usual speech, that every God in here already said.
The speech done, I took Osiris's gift and accepted to lauch Odin's fire crackers before starting to think about my plan, while I kept the party going.
Seeing that the dark GM Aesir was standing alone, as usual, Hades asked me to go see him, and offer him some drinks (even though upper Gods don't need to eat anything, they still can feel the taste of food or drinks).
After I thought every single God that existed had congratulated me, Hel and unbeleivable amounts of other Gods suddenly appeared in the middle of the party and congratulated me. Since they mess the fire crackers, Hel asked me to fire more, which I did with ''great pleasure''.
Tonight, after this useless ceremony, I'll go on my first trip alone to the Earth. I'll firstly go see my closest friend which was in my guild, and then, I will announce to my guild what happened to me.
It is now Monday, Drankei, my friend and old vice leader of the guild, took the power over the guild and leads it as a pro. The guild now knows what happened to me, and are working to take back the towns and the territory they lost while I wasn't there. While they do that, I privately talk to Drankei about my plans. I tell him about a few secrets I have learnt in the god's lands: four secret stones that could make him become even more powerful, and also these books which could teach him how to cast spells of an incredible strength. I also have learnt up there, from the GM Team 101 itself, that even though some god items were way more powerful than mortal ones, if a mortal acquire a god weapon, he could upgrade it by many ways and make it up to three times stronger than usual. This is why I brought him my God Warrior set, as long as a few of the legendary Sephira books which I hunted myself. I gave him as a mission to find the books missing and upgrade these weapons as much as possible, while I would do other things...
As soon as I left Drankei, I directly headed to Hell. There, I had to recruit the most dangerous and the most powerful creatures that have ever existed. I found a bunch of black dragons, which I immediately took with me. They probably couldn't defeat an upper God, but at least they could distract them while I make them go in Hell.
Year 570 after Grand Tragedy..
The time has come. The fierce warrior Drankei died of an overdose of power while he tried to use one of my weapons, but it doesn't matter anymore. I have read and learnt the eight legendary Sephira skills, my armors and weapons have been upgraded at a point where their power could barely stays into their original form, and my Hell's army is ready.
Now is the time to act. Coming back from Drankei's house, where I took back my items, I directly teleported to Heaven.
As soon as I started walking with my fighting gear, the strongest members of GM Team 101 stopped me. ''Do you really think I am going to tell you? Now get out of my way or I kill you'', I answered to their stupid questions. Noticing the trouble on-going, Hades, my old master, came to see what was happening. ''Why so much power and hate in you, Beastmaster? I can see in your heart that you hate every living thing, but why?'' he asked me, while he was still carrying the prize of the event he was holding on the Earth.
''Because you all deserve to die: the Gods, the humans and the monsters, it’s all the same! When I was young, I just thought that the humans were great, but as the time passed, I realized that they were as savage as the monsters we were fighting. They only want blood, they keep seeking for power. The monsters that once were a threat are now used in order to acquire more power, which is nowadays used to fight the humans, and not anymore the monsters. But this is the end of it. As soon as I will defeat you all stupid Gods, I will rage on the Earth and destroy every living thing there, then I'll be the king of the world!''. Hades looked at the Team 101, then at me. He was lost.
''But, I was the one that recommended you to be a GM, don't you have any respect for that?'', he said, as a last try to convince me.
''Why the hell should I care? You are just a stupid God like these ones'' I replied, pointing at the elite members of GM Team 101.
The Conquer Master Lollipop just laughed at me, and asked me if I really thought I had a chance against the whole team 101. I simply replied that, if he wanted to see, he just had to fight me. As he was coming, Hades stopped him.
''I brought him to be a GM, I will fight him. Alone''.
I started laughing, but my laugh ended up being a cry of pain, when Hades used on me a spell I had never seen before in my entire life.
I said, enraged that all these efforts were gone to void. He simply answered: ''I never made you a GM. You never got all the power of a Grand Master, because you weren't ready for it. When you were only a young God, you were wiser than most of the Upper Gods here, and you were able to think correctly. You were a perfect choice to become a Grand Master, but only a few power was missing inside of you. But as soon as you started to become stronger, you became what you started to fight, a heartless fighter, which always wanted more power and blood. I saw your plan, but I thought I could change you, but it never worked. You are one of the strongest and the most wise human that once lived on the Earth, you are my son.''.
I was totally stoned. ''What, no, no! This can't be true... My father got killed by one of these monsters, that's why I started fighting them''.
He answered, with love in his voice ''That's what I asked your mother to tell you, because I didn't wanted you to feel overpowered and to start trying to conquer the world, as you finally ended up doing, but I then realized it was a mistake to keep you in the ignorance... Before I asked you to become an upper God, I talked with the rest of the Team 101. If ever you ended up trying to kill us, we decided to spare you and to get you back in the past, giving you all these memories so that you can avoid further mistakes. You will be taken back the day when the ArchiMaster found you. Do you have any question before you leave?''. I started thinking, there were so many questions, but there was one I had to ask, before leaving that place.
''Yes, I do have one. Since you, and the whole team 101, are so powerful, why don't you help the humans? Show them the right path to take and help them defeating these monsters once for all!''.
He looked at me with the most sincere smile I had ever seen in my entire life and said: ''Because to these humans we gave the best gift we could, the ability to love and to learn from their mistakes. With these two things, they do have the power, or at least the potential to defeat any danger that comes to them. I believe in this race to destroy these monsters, and some day, after they realize all this war is useless, to finally live in peace.''
As I tried to ask another question, I felt a mysterious strength from inside attracting me to the ground, until everything turned dark. The last words I heard were:
''Good bye and good luck, son.''
Year 400 after Grand Tragedy..
As I was defeating the last of these foolish gremlins, the memory came back to me. I remembered everything, from the god Hades to the poor Zakum merchant. The ArchiMaster called me to go see him, and I accepted his offer, thinking about the utopian life I rejected only because of my lack of wisdom and my darkened heart... A great smile in my face, thinking that from now on, a lot of things would be different from that previous life, I slowly walked to the Archimaster...
The end.
Nova Era**, by Angra.
Somehow I know
The things are gonna change
New boundaries on the way
Like never before
Find a meaning to your life
Healing whispers of the angels
Bring the sunrise again
[Chorus]
New day shines, fallen angels will arise
Nova Era brings the ashes back to life
All over now, sores in pain and awful lies
Angels will arise
Back to life!
Fresh winds of hope
Has taken us ahead
Forever is a place
You have to keep in mind
No way to limit our goals
You'll find a reason to believe
Facing Nova Era
[Chorus]
Oh! Come on! Arise!
Find a meaning to your life
No way to limit our goals
Healing whispers of the angels
Bring the sunrise again!
New day shines, fallen angels will arise
Nova Era brings the ashes back to life
All over now, sores in pain and awful lies
Angels lead you through paradise
Nova Era is a passage to your mind
And forever you may find a better time
Nova Era bring the angels back to life... Life
** Nova Era = New age.
You should note that all the upper Gods are in fact Game masters and Community manager, which really exist in the game (even though everything said about them in the story are false, Hades is NOT my daddy :P). They all are there to help the fellow WYDians. They easily are accessible from Q&A section on WYD Global main site, and the Community manager also has his own Blog. Here is the CM Lollipop's blog.
Also, since I haven't seen any other CM than Lollipop lately, I decided to ask Odin about it, after taking my screenshots. Here is what ''happened'' to the CMs.
This conversation with him will make me freak out every time I'll eat a pancake from now on :P.
But we shouldn't forget about the Community Scouts, these fellow players which spend some of their time to help almost every nation that plays WYD Global, such as the Arabic (TheDarkHero), England (Twenty4Seven), Malaysian (Only-Kim), USA (claire), Spanish (Marianps), Latino (DarkItachi), Deustch (JB-Angel), Pinoy, Chinese, Polish and Oceania CS's (sorry if I forget any). I am pretty sure that, in the following months, even more Community Scouts will add to the ones currently playing, since the game will keep expanding.
We should also keep in mind the hard work of all the Operators which we tend to forget, but that also have a big role in the game, by helping the new players. Remember that we have all been noobs once!
So I would just like to say a big thanks to all these people which work hard to make the game better and more enjoyable, and keep the hard work going because soon enough, this game will be ranked number 1!
Thanks for reading my blog, and thanks to WYD Global team!
Simply astonishing!!! You had some really deep content there, you brought some Star-Wars-like drama and even a incredibly important biblic-like lesson in the end, when you explain free-will and God intervention. That all in a MMO world story.
ReplyDeleteIf all that work was made intending to make more people feel interested in get to know and actually play the game, you sure got the point there!
