Prologue

It was a very cool evening. The setting sun doesn’t give enough warmth to the places, not even said it was raining too.

Person who rushed to the small town – Awesomville, had no choice but postpone their journey by logging at a small inn near the River of Awesomville.

The business of the inn became extra ordinary good. The little bar was packed with warriors, travelers and tradesmen. By looking at how heavy the rain was, they decided to stay overnight at this inn.

They were chatting while enjoying the beer. The atmosphere in the bar getting noisier and noisier. Nobody realized there was a man quietly sitting at one of the deepest corner. No one saw his face clearly. His big hat, with his head-bowed, portion; looked like he was asleep.

The owner of the inn, who was also the owner of the bar, handed over a big mug of beer to the lonely stranger.

“What a great night, isn’t it?” said the inn-owner.

“I think we have who we are looking for among them. But we will see then. There is still a long way to prove.” The stranger replied, but kept his head bowed.

“Yes, a long way to go.” The owner smiled, looked at the crowd and then moved back to his bar desk.

Soon, the crowd went back to the room they rented, one after one, leaving the owner of the inn, and the mysterious stranger.

The rain got more heavily, but the bar was empty. Finally the stranger stood up, walked to the bar desk and spoke to owner:

“This is the time. Woon, let’s begin!”

Introduction

The sun rays broke the morning as usual. What a beautiful morning, but the people who are going to leave the inn were not enjoying the scenery. They were shocked as the inn was not in the place it should be like yesterday! The inn was in a city instead of near the Awesomville River!

The front gate of the inn started to be crowded by many people. The noise was getting louder and louder until a louder voice sounded:

Every one of you, please move yourself and gathered at the bar!

For some people who still in their rooms, start to walk down to the bar and join the crowd.

In front of them now standing a middle age man who were in a grey robe, holding a staff. After examined all of the people are at the lounge, the man spoke:

“Welcome to the City of Iohoda, the city which is next to the Ivory Castle.

“City of Iohoda? The city that has disappeared for a long time?” the audience got shocked.

Being the guardian of Ivory Castle, we, the citizen in City of Iohoda, always carry out the function of looking someone who is helpful to Ivory Castle. I will make it short, we are looking for a warrior! A great warrior which will be loved by citizen of Ivory Castle, respected by the royal family of Ivory Castle, trusted by the King of Ivory Castle. We believe one of you, deserve all these!

“Ahem,” the man cleared his throat, and continued, “After this, you may dismiss yourself and ask Woon, the owner of this inn, about what can you do in this city. The more you understand the more benefits you gain. All right guys, dismiss!”

A smog screen started saturating around the air, the man then become invisible. He was gone! The audiences were shocked but then they soon accepted that they have entered a place that full with mysteries.

So the audience quickly moved themselves to the bar desk and seek advice from the owner of the inn, woon.

When it was almost at the sun set time, they were all clear with the rules:

“Remember, when we said it is 50% of your HP, it is count from the maximum quota. Which means if your are at level 3, you maximum quota is 60, so you will gain 30 HP or which ever HP lower than 30 but make you back to 60, only if you survive” woon looked at the audience seriously.

“Clear? Then take your weapon and standby,”

The situation at the bar started to become uncontrolled. Warrior start to killing each other! Only 10 warriors remained calm and kept themselves at one corner. They were lucky to do so, because those who involved in that fighting were then killed by each others.

“Rule number 1, only attack when it is night time. I only said standby, not start!” woon shook his head to look at those stupid warriors; he then turned to the 10 survivals:

"Only 10 of the smart ones remained. Let see who are they?"

Woon looked at the sky through the window, took a deep breath and then announced. “It is the night 1. Game start!”

Players, it is the night 1, you can only have 2 choice:

a. Do training, pay 2 coins and stated how many HP you going to use to do training. Remember, training experience = HP * 0.5.

If you want to choose this option. PM me and state: Training – use HP = # (number)

b. Attack players, decide how many percentage of level 1 attack strength you are going to use (10 – 100%) I will deduct the HP accordingly by referring to the table.

If you want to choose this option, PM me and state: Attack <player’s name>* with level 1 Percentage = #%

* remember it is player’s name not warrior’s name.

Night 1 will be close 36 hours from now. If I have all the PM collected earlier than that, I could do the story faster.

Good luck! Warriors!

ahh... well played GC, once everyone stopped attacking me I didn't think i would be able to catch up.

Woon, can we hear the story about how the beads were so important now please, im too intrigued to just leave it now ?

I think the beads helped us to improve our defense and attack. That's what I thought; more the beads, the better. I even bought one from the trade man(he only had one left, I could not buy anything else to boost my magical attack or defense )

Each bead give extra 25% of magical attack.

So if one has 4 beads and using magical attack, his attack will be A * (1 + 4*0.25) = 2A.

Imagine GC got 19 beads at the end when he attacking you, his attack is A*(1+19*0.25) = 5.75A

Although you are black magical warrior, but he already acheive > 1000 attack point so his attack still reach 3000++ points even divided by half.

Thanks for explaining it woon. Now I know the source of Anna's power. And there's your story Reay.

And a great storyline woon. From start to end.

Actually I really though Reaymond is once again the winner when he killed Impervious' character and grap his bead. By that time he has the most among the others because the NPC only give each players 3 beads. (Depend on whom you visited 3 times first)

But later Reaymond focus on physical until he totally give up the magical attack. He actually has the lots of magical exp gained waiting for him to upgrade to higher magical attack level, if only he met the magical warrior occasionally.

This...was a very hard game to become powerful in. I am not sure if I was just gimped from the start, or what, but I spent most of the game having no idea how the system worked. I imagine that was done intentionally, but it eventually just led to me attacking people 100%, assuming that that was the fastest way to gain XP, and hoping to get lucky and attack someone second, and get the kill. The whole "magic bead" malarkey was completely lost on me, so... I had one, maybe two, and just forgot about them Hell, I'm still not positive that I understand how the system worked, so, kudos to those of you that got it.

I didn't try to understand the mathematical part. And I don't think that knowledge was really needed. And I also attacked every night with 100% magical attack, as did everyone else I think. I thought the real challenge was to choose the right NPC's(I stuck with the MW until he got fed up with me. He even said he didn't want me to visit him, he would call for me if needed. I realized the significance of AW near the end only.) And I really think the Avg. Index was the key after the first 10 days. It revealed some important things about some warriors.

Twas the beads which spelled my doom

lol! GREAT GAME WOON AND WARRIORS!!

I loved every part of this game. I thought I was doing really well, and when I found the cave from the Rich man, I thought, "I am set to win this". But when I found out about the beads, I knew that I was in trouble. I had hardly messed with my magical attack at all. I had to make the decision, go all out with either magic or physical attack. I chose the wrong one.

I think I also misunderstood the armor linking until later in the game. I thought that it was only affected by magical attack, and it was not until later that I realized it affected both magical and physical.

I wonder what would have happened had I choosen the other path......

Great job GC You deserved it
