Chapter 165: Enzo in Apocalypse Online

While Max was in the middle of studying, his system’s notification actually rang, catching his attention.

Almost immediately, he understood what it meant.

His eyes lit up.

System could recognize the player’s real-life relationships.

Although Max turned the system’s notification down when it came to other players’ requesting to be his friend list, if it came from his brother, the system would definitely notify him.

Max’s friends list was already cleared. After his dispute with Rhayne, he had already blocked her account.

He was delighted that Enzo finally added him as his friend list.

He stopped studying and accepted the friend request.

Max immediately saw that Enzo messaged him.

"Brother, I’m finally here."

Max nodded and replied, "Yes. You’re finally here. Focus there for a while, I will give you potions and money now."

Before Max could proceed to the trading section, Enzo immediately replied, "Wait! I’m not at the Greyfen Village as we agreed."

Max was shocked.

He smiled and shook his head. "It’s fine. I’m not forcing you anyway. Which village are you in?"

"I’m at the Frostmere Village."

Max’s eyes widened. He was surprised.

Why do I feel like I’m seeing my past life’s version to Enzo?

Max knew some village level local quest there, especially dungeons near the village, but given that other players had already completed there before—as he was unaware—the possibility that it was also completed.

The rewards would definitely be lesser than before.

While he was lost in his thoughts. Enzo followed up another message, astonishing him.

"Can you help me acquire a Frost Elixir?"

Max frowned.

Why does he need an Uncommon Elixir now? Didn’t he just log in?

After pondering, he did not ask for the reason and replied, "Frost Elixir is an Uncommon Rank. It’s rank higher than Common, but still, D-rank Ice Mage usually consumed it.

I have it here. I can give it to you now. How many do you need?"

"One will do."

"Alright. I will give it to you now."

"Thank you, brother."

Max smiled. Enzo was not usually the type of person to ask for a favor. Max had to take the initiative to give what he needed.

Such as school’s allowance.

Enzo would never complain if Max would often fail to provide, causing Max to feel guilt stricken.

For Enzo to request for a Frost Elixir, Max wondered the significance of Frost Elixir to Enzo.

He consumed Frost Elixir before. It helped his Cold Affinity passive skill at D-rank to increase its proficiency.

Alongside mana sensitivity and mana control, Cold Affinity was among the main passive affinity for Ice Mage.

The higher the proficiency of their Cold Affinity’s passive skill, the stronger the effects of their spells.

A single Frost Elixir could indeed increase a proficiency level, but the more Frost Elixir to consume, the less its efficiency.

It was precisely why most of the Ice Mage would rather increase their Cold Affinity to intermediate level by meditating in a cold environment rather than wasting the Frost Elixir to increase the proficiency to basic or intermediate level.

He was confused by Enzo’s decision, but he did not question him.

He wanted Enzo to be the one to take the initiative in the future.

After giving the Frost Elixir to Enzo through the trading system, watching the Frost Elixir disappear in his inventory, he instantly saw Enzo’s message.

"I’ve received it now. Thank you, brother.

Also, my character might be gone for quite a while. We will be having conversation in real life."

Max was surprised. What’s happening to him? He amused.

Still, he could wait until Enzo would tell him.

He responded, "Alright. Good luck to whatever it is. If you need something you can always ask me."

"Yes. Thank you, brother."

Max watched Enzo’s profile. Five minutes later, he frowned when Enzo’s status changed from online to disconnected.

He couldn’t help but feel worried, but given that they were still in the game, not in real life, Max heaved a sigh of relief.

He was left with wonders. What is exactly happening to him?

I should better ask him tomorrow.

Max thought as he shook his head and focused on the task at hand.

...

Earlier, when Enzo was staring at the gaming pod, he finally opened it and entered.

As soon as he dived into the game, he found himself floating in a black space with no stars.

It was exceptionally empty—the darkness crept him in.

Suddenly, huge texts appeared in front of him.

[Welcome to Apocalypse Online!]

The title hovered for a while, leaving him confused.

He also heard a genderless voice that spoke the title

[A player is detected to possess the same bloodline as you.

The player contributed a lot in the world inside the game and has been the leading player by far margin compared to others.

For possessing the same bloodline, the game is highly expectant of your performance.]

Enzo was shocked. He did not expect the game to seem to possess its own sentience.

He even felt a pair of eyes were staring at him.

[Thus, the game will grant you a roulette.

This roulette contains B-Class to SSS-Class legacies.

The higher the rank of the class, the higher the rarity.

Do you wish to participate the roulette and spin?]

Enzo was stunned.

He had studied the game before and there were only handful of post that simply mentioned about the beginning of logging into the game.

The strange bizarre interaction of the system towards him caused him to fall into deep thought.

My brother is the elder player and not only the system acknowledge it, it wishes to grant me an opportunity.

Since the game was being generous to him, no matter the class legacy given to him, he would accept it.

Intuition also told him that the game would not simply grant him B-Class Legacy.

It should be at least A-Class and above.

Not wanting to dilly-dally, he chose to participate and spin.

[Spinning...

Congratulations! You have received an SS-Class legacy—Absolute Frost Deity.

You will be the first awaken the Ice Mage Class sequence specialty.

The SS-Class legacy has been added to your inventory.

You must meet the conditions and requirements to obtain each class advancement.]

After hearing the legacy he obtained, Enzo was dumbfounded...
