MONSTER MMORPG: Mayhem Online

40 Chapter 0040



As Flynn was busy getting a health checkup and was excited about his future, he was unaware of the waves that he had caused in the world.

Currently, various news channels of the world are discussing many things related to the legendary class.

One of the top channels of America, STS News–

"It hasn't even been a month since the discovery of the Legendary Class, and player Shura, the holder of the said legendary class, had become part of more world-shaking events.

According to the world messages, it's safe to assume that he had discovered a hidden dimension called Abyss, a key setting of [Mayhem]. Now the name itself is very threatening and can mean a lot of things, so we assume that it is one of the most important key components of the game.

Not only had player Shura entered Abyss, he had also gained his own independent race, and according to the world messages, it is going to be the first and last independent race, so one could imagine its importance.

According to the information we have gathered about the player's class, it is called 'Dulwak's Heir' and Dulwak was a human legend of the central continent. Stories of him are starting to surface during many players' quests and one of the key factors to notice with the world messages is how it mentioned that the legend has been corrupted.

In the grand scheme of things, the human side losing a prominent legend can indeed be a big blow, but how big of a blow it actually is is still unknown.

This event didn't actually become a bane to the players, though. Every player in the world is given a 30% experience boost for a week, which can be said to be a big event that would move the average level of players forward.

This is a big opportunity, especially for the high-level players who require a lot more experience points than others.

Apart from all this, player Shura is also the first person to break the concept of cooldown, which is one of the big settings of the game. The question is, how versatile is his cooldown cancellation? Does it apply to all his skills, regardless of how they are acquired? Or is there some kind of cap?

There are a lot of such questions, but the person who can answer them is yet to be located."

Just after the news was released, there was another uproar in the world as multiple players started video streaming and saying they had found the legendary class. There were multiple pictures and videos of a guy with a handsome and cool-looking monster avatar.

He had silvery-grey skin, a dark brown twisted sheep horn, red slit reptile eyes, a slim buffed body with scaly intersections at the ribcage and forearms, a large and thick, one-and-a-half metre long tail with metallic intersections which slowly moved around, a chiselled leg with the same scales.

People immediately started recording themselves with him and taking pictures of him, with the most famous one's being the pose where the legendary class player, Shura, had his hands up blocking the sun's rays.

Shura had immediately logged off as soon as he was discovered by people, leaving many people who wanted to chat and take autographs dissatisfied. But that didn't make the people who had encountered the golden chance of a lifetime from making posts and blogs of the moment.

There was already a Shura Fanclub where people talked and shared information about Shura and would praise him for things he never did.

In a famous online forum of [Mayhem], which was run by some of the most influential theorists of the game (who never really talked here), many people were talking about the current situation.

"WHAT?!!"

Clint's shout, which was almost close to a roar, resounded inside the small apartment when he heard my words.

Currently, I am in Salt Lake County, Utah. It is miles away from Delta city and is a city popular for its church from centuries ago. My mother and brother lived here, and both had their lives going on here.

I decided to live separately from them because I didn't want to bother them with my bills, but in the end, my mom did end up taking a loan for me to get a VR capsule, that too from my bitch of an aunt.

Anyways, I was currently at my family's home which was on the edge of Salt Lake County, but even this was also a rented apartment.

"Are you saying you are Shura?? The Shura? The legendary class?"

Clint asked with his eyes threatening to pop out of their sockets. I had just come home and was eating the food made by my mother after ages. I wanted to surprise them with the money that I had gotten, but before that, I thought I should tell them who I was first.

"Yeah…. I guess?"

I replied vaguely, feeling amused at my little brother's reaction. He looked like your average american nerd, had semi long brown hair, brown eyes and was going to turn 19 soon. Not to mention he liked to follow my example and had a good physique from all the exercise.

He probably managed to secure a girlfriend only because of that.

"You guess? Do you know how betrayed I feel? Mom…. I think my heart just broke… This liar of a brother never told us about such a big thing."

Clint said dramatically, as he held his heart as if he was getting a heart attack. He was a quiet kid and mostly didn't bother talking. But he had always been very expressive and mischievous inside the family.

"What do you mean never told? You never asked me to begin with. You never even asked me for my username before or else this wouldn't be the case."

I retorted as I took a bite of the potpie that mom had made.

Mhmm!

Just the best, as usual. I got my cooking talents from her after all. My mom was undoubtedly one of the best women at being a mom. She was nearly 40 years old, and the signs of ageing had started showing on her skin.

She had the same facial features and hair colour as Clint, clearly indicating who he had gotten his genes from.

"Really son, I am so happy for you."

Mom commented emotionally. She and Clint were the only people who kept on cheering me even when my addition to the family had brought them nothing but troubles.

Yes, I wasn't blood-related to mom or Clint. I was nowhere even connected to them as far as genes were concerned. But I had been the son of Emily Granger and brother of Clint granger ever since I was eight years old.

Mom had Clint early back when she was only a 19-year-old. Clint's father didn't want to take responsibility and ran away, and his mom never married after that. Instead of getting dejected from life, she strongly held on and strived in society as a single mother.

I still remember the day I was getting moved around from one house to another, just so somebody could take custody of me. After getting out of one door after the other, Clint's mom, a single woman and not really that financially strong woman took me in.

From preparing me for school to picking me up, making me nice meals and even washing my clothes, she did it all. I didn't even realise when I started calling this person my mom, and I couldn't be any more glad about it.

She was a person who had lived a life of hell while trying to give her sons the best possible life.

"No way bro, how can you hide this from me? Just imagine the reaction of people when they hear Shura is my brother, like, hahaha."

Clint laughed out loudly. He always liked [Mayhem] and always wanted to play it. But since mom could barely afford a capsule for me, that too from loans, Clint couldn't get a VR capsule for now. As much as he loved the game, he never blamed mom or me for not getting him a capsule.

That's right, that was his special power. He was the best brother and the most understanding kid ever, even when he was just 8 years old.

"Mom… how much was aunt's loan? How much is pending right now?"

I asked, and my mom immediately shook her head.

"Don't worry about it, you. I already told you I'll take care of it. I have even found a new part-time job, and I'll slowly pay off the loan. You better focus on yourself."

Mom replied as she passed food and water from her hands, keeping herself busy.

"Mom, I am the legendary class now, all our problems will be gone slowly, you don't have to worry about a thing now. Just lay back and watch the show unfold. Now, how much of a loan do we have from aunt?"

I asked again, trying to console my mom.

"Uh, considering all the interest she's been adding up, it is about thirty thousand."

"Okay, now take a look at this."

I showed my cell phone device to mom and told her to have a look at the screen.

"Oh my god… is this for real?"
