Is this really a Game?!

Tap, Tap

Eldar slowly walked towards Reign while wearing a smile on his face, soon he gets close to Reign and stops right in front of him while still smiling.

"Well, I'll tell you one thing, you and your squad are not in danger from your ability."

"Huh?"

"See Reign," Eldar starts talking as he puts his arm around Reign's shoulder, "What's happening to you right now is simple, you're just not strong enough to completely control your ability, thus most of it bursts out from inside you in an attempt to, well, save your life."

"Save my life, what, how does that even work?"

"Well simple, imagine that you are, what was the name of those things you have here, ah, a balloon!" Eldar exclaims happily before continuing, "If you continue filling it up with air it explodes right, well that's what would happen to you if your black and white lightning stayed inside of you, you only need to become stronger and you'll get more control over it."

"There is one more thing though, I don't know if you have realized, but there is a lot more light power compared to darkness, if you wish to completely control this power you need to fully grasp both of them, otherwise it will never be complete, but to be honest the fact that you have managed to control part of the darkness so early is great, most take years to start."

"Captain, just how do you know so much about my powers?"

"How?" Eldar suddenly looked up at the sky while seemingly reminiscing about something, "I had the pleasure of knowing one of you a long time ago Reign, so don't worry, even though my knowledge is limited, I know enough to help you out for now."

"One of us, you mean-"

"Yup, alright, no more questions, go now, go to an adventure, go kill some monster, maybe get some girls, anything, to be honest, you guys don't need to participate in the training." Eldar suddenly starts walking away from Reign while waving his hand.

Reign smiles while looking at the back of the person that seemingly knew about him than he himself did. He passes through the crowd as everyone stares at him in amazement, everyone knew that Reign was much stronger than them, but the power he showed right now was able to shatter even their wildest imagination.

Cameron, Ronny, and the others looked at Reign while sighing, they had become a lot stronger ever since he and the others took control of the town, but they still couldn't imagine possessing the power that they had, not only at their level but later as well.

"So, are we going back?" Wolf suddenly asks Reign while leaning against the platform.

"Now that you mentioned it, I don't really feel that tired."

"Yeah, me neither."

"Same here."

Everyone smiled as they looked at each other, they knew that new areas around the castle were found and that some of them were higher-leveled.

"Let's see what kinds of enemies we can find in those areas huh?" Reign says as they all walk towards the gate.

They took their usual route, passing through the newbie forest, deep forest, and the black forest before getting into the new area.

They had no trouble passing through the areas, the enemies there were now far weaker compared to them and even bosses were apprehensive about fighting them. On their way to the black forest, they even came across the lizard field boss that once made them stealthily go around. Even the giant lizard simply stared at them carefully while waiting for them to pass through the area.

"I guess we have become somewhat strong now huh?" Shadow chuckles as he looks back at the lizard before waving it goodbye.

"Don't get cocky Shadow, there's still a lot of things on Earth that can kill us, not to mention the universe, we're still nothing more than a speck of dust in the eyes of many." Wolf gives Shadow a glance while berating him, it was incredibly easy to become arrogant with the power they have now, but Wolf knew that it would only spell their own doom if they did so.

"Loosen up man, I was just saying it because even the freaking lizard that made us run away last time didn't dare attack, I know that there are many more monsters that can kill us, we all witnessed that dragon, well, all except for Laura."

"A dragon?"

"Yeah, before we came to the town we had to pass through a couple of areas, the one right between the castle and the town was the most dangerous one, that's where we met Zeus and Miriam." Shadow starts narrating their journey as they enter the black forest.

Compared to the last time they were here, they were much more relaxed this time, it didn't matter what enemies they might come across, only a field boss could pose a threat to them here, and even a field boss would find it difficult to survive for long.

Laura already knew about the different kinds of bosses and enemies, but she was still incredibly shocked to learn that Reign and the others had actually come face to face with a raid boss so early, not to mention a raid boss that was way stronger than they are right now.

As they passed the black forest they came across some cursed trees that dared not to move in their presence, a treant even passed near them and froze after feeling the mana that was being emanated from them.

It was the law of the jungle, back when they were weaker every single monster in the forest would attack them and try to kill them, now however they were powerful enough that the monsters would simply lay low and hope they don't get killed.

Even the wood folk ran away as fast as possible after seeing them, even if hundreds came after them the result would be the same, complete annihilation.

Thanks to their high levels and stats they were able to pass the three forests relatively quickly, even the boss of one of the areas simply stared at them nervously as they passed through its territory, clearly afraid of them. It only took them about one and a half hours to go through the forests, something that was unimaginable to them before when they needed a whole day to get to the Ironbark Woods.

Walking through the black forest they came across a clearing that divided the forest and the next zone, it was a familiar sight to them, the same thing happened previously when they finally managed to get out of the BloodHill Forest while being under the pursuit of the vamps and the wolves.

They passed the clearing and entered the next one, the name of the area however made them stop for a second and widen their eyes.

[ Ironbark Woods ]

"What the hell?" Shadow curses as he looks at the familiar trees, touching the grayish-brown barks of the trees he was able to confirm that they truly were the same trees that they came across in the Ironbark Woods the first time.

"The Ironbark Woods?" Laura mutters as she looks at the trees and the lush landscape in front of her. Shadow had previously told her that that was the name of the forest where they met the dragon and the two Gods, but what was it doing here?

"It seems the forest is much larger than we thought previously." Reign chuckles after seeing the familiar trees. He slowly walks through the forest before exclaiming, "Damn it, we should have gone to Eldar's office to check the areas first."

"Well, you didn't." Wolf suddenly chuckles behind him as he takes out a map from the inventory, seeing the map Reign and the others widen their eyes as they hurried to Wolf.

"Why didn't you tell us that you had a map!?" Shadow asks angrily as he looks at the smiling Wolf, they all understood that he was definitely enjoying the situation.

"Well, you didn't ask, and there was no need because we were going in the right direction anyway." Wolf shrugs his shoulders before showing them the map, Reign was correct, the Ironbark Woods was massive, its size was many times larger than any other forest.

It actually bordered not only the Black Forest and the BloodHill Forest but many other areas as well, the total size of it was the same as about 30 normal areas. One thing they also noticed on the map was numbers.

"20 – 50, what does that mean?" Tank scratches his head in confusion as he looks at the map.

"That my dear Tank is the levels of the monsters that can be found in the forest." Wolf smiles at him as he says, his words were like a bomb in everyone's ears as they looked at him in shock.

"What!?"

"Yup, it's not only the size of the forest that is weird, the levels are as well, I guess we were incredibly lucky to have only come across the weakest of them previously, I wonder how strong the monsters here will be?" Wolf smiles brightly as he looks at the forest in front of him.
