Chapter 525 The Gemini Player
In the past timeline, there were a lot of players who dominated the game's spotlight and a spot that has been claimed by an influencer gained the attention of the masses due to her weird but unique way of using her own mental disorder which is the multiple personality disorder. I am not really an expert on it but according to some of the players who have teamed up or have personally interacted with her, she indeed has multiple personality disorder as they tend to change a lot in terms of their personality. They can't even say it is the same as bipolar as some who have interacted with a bipolar is not this bad in terms of changing personality.
She was Phantomia, also known by players as the Gemini Player. The reason they call her a Gemini player instead of "Jekyll and Hyde" is because the dual personality of the person is similar to twins. Although they share the same body, both personalities seem aware of each other and it seems they are in sync a lot.
Of course, I have seen her fight before and to be honest, she is really quite a bit eccentric. Also, she will change her class to Reaper once the class will appear in the future but since it wasn't available for now, she is using the Magic Knight class at the moment. However, once she reaches the point where the Reaper class is announced, she will become quite a monster in the game. You can say that you will be reminded her battle style is quite similar to Queen Tanya but with the difference that she has two fighting styles depending on which personality is currently playing.
I still don't know if her dual personality is real but one thing is for sure, she will become a big player once she gets into the Reaper class and became one of the strongest Reaper class players. I haven't seen her fight as a Magic Knight but I know how she fights in both personalities. However, that is a topic for another day.
The problem with her and her guild right now is that I am quite sure that during this time, their guild is currently camping out in Sandurk's dungeons. So why are they even here and why are they currently here?
As much as I want an answer to that, I don't have it.
Back to the current situation. Phantomia appeared as she galloped on her horse towards the others. Looks like she bought one out instead of taming one as the generic color of the horse which is color brown a sign that it came from a stable as the only color of horse that can be obtained in stables are pure brown and pure black. The other colors and variety are gonna need for you to be tamed.
Now, I need to know why they are here. Are they going to camp out in here until the dungeon break event will be over? There is a possibility. However, I don't like someone camping out in here without even asking me about it. Although the vicinity of the dungeon is not my property, the place where they are currently camping IS MY property. It is where the garden was supposed to be but since I have yet to obtain any seeds I can plant there, it was not yet worked at the moment but still, they choose to camp out there.
Then why am I so harsh on them? They didn't intrude on my land like a total disrespecting it but because I have already known the personality of their guild. They are absolute trash and would do anything to the extent of making different kinds of decisions that would benefit more of their guild and harm the others. You can say they are the toxic kind of people that you would hate to meet up with in multiplayer games like this.
I could get rid of them but perhaps I can reason out with the Gemini player as compared to her guild members, she has a bit of a reasonable personality but is still twisted enough that I more wanted to have a neutral relationship with her than go on a hostile relationship with her. But if worse comes to worst, I have to prepare for everything.
The first is to spend the SP I earned earlier on my swordsman skills. I still plan to practice the Swordsman class in PVP in case these guys would work in PVP. That way, I can incorporate the Swordsman playstyle in the Magic Knight class as that would work much easier and blend perfectly without changing weapons.
1024 SP might sound a lot but tiers 3 and 4 are expensive and it the sp price would ramp up in tier 5 which is why I have to spend wisely. Learning all the skills available in one tier is still not viable unless I go back to the dollhouse dungeon and farm once again.
After I learned [Cut] and [Spinning Slash] in tier 2, tier 3 is now unlocked and skills are now available for purchase. However, I have better plans instead as I didn't focus much on skill upgrades the first time around as I am more reliant on the Versatile Weapon. And that is to upgrade tier 1 and tier 2 skills. [Cut] and [Triple Slash] are very useful in some cases and have a low cooldown so I upgraded them for more utility and lowered their cooldowns a lot more but with increased firepower. As for [Spinning Slash] didn't have much utility to me unless I am crowded by mobs and other than that, it has less usage for me.
I ended up spending 200 sp for upgrading [Cut] and evolving it into the skill [Rend], a tier 4 skill. It has the same utility as Cut but has more power and can easily cut monsters with ease. As for [Triple Slash], I spent 150 SP to evolve it to [Rampage Slash], a tier 3 skill. I spent 500 SP this time around to upgrade [Rampage Slash] to [Spatial Slash] a tier 5 skill and perhaps the best skill before you reach level 100 and reach the tier 6 skills. Unfortunately, to upgrade further, I needed 1000 SP to upgrade it causing me to stay on [Spatial Slash] instead.
Since upgrading the [Cut] and [Triple Slash] to their new forms, it sucked my SP dry leaving me with 174 swordsman SP. That is enough to buy a skill in tier 3 that costs 150 SP. I scanned through the skills and bought one called [Aura Blade].
I sighed as that sucked all of my SP in one go. Earning is really hard and yet spending is so easily done like it was just one flick of the finger. But I am now ready. Knowing how Phantomia fights in both personalities, even if they are going to go hostile on me, I can still defeat them just fine. But I want to at least perform a diplomacy thing with them rather than go and fight them.
Alright, here goes nothing...
