MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

Deciding to wait by the common area of the room for a bit more after Valyr made his way to his part of the room, Wells heard Valyr scream out a few times in great agony, causing an expression of concern to appear on the former’s face as he wondered what his friend was going through. After all, he had never expected his friend to show up in that state all of a sudden.

Though, just as he eventually made a decision to find out what was going on with Valyr as he still heard his friend cry out in pain every once in a while, his mind briefly halted at the very moment he heard a faint thud resound from Valyr’s part of the room, causing Wells to head to where Valyr was with no hesitation.

Once he was there, he stood frozen in place, left at a loss for words at the sight that was in front of him.

On the floor was Valyr lying down on his back with his face mostly covered in the dried-up blood that trickled down his face earlier. Continuing to look at his friend, Wells noticed that Valyr’s eyes were now closed, making him feel slightly worried that his friend had entered some sort of critical condition out of nowhere.

Fortunately, that was not the case, with Wells letting out a long sigh of relief after examining his friend for quite some time. Still feeling a bit of worry towards his friend since he did not know what Valyr did after the meeting at the Imperial Production Guild, Wells decided to help his friend out in the meantime, wondering when his friend would wake up from his slumber.

…

“Mnnn…” After what seemed to be a long time for Valyr, he eventually opened his eyes as he sat upright, gazing at nothing for a short while to allow his consciousness to become alert. Surprisingly, it took far less time for his consciousness to return to its usual state as memories of what had transpired before he had gone unconscious flashed through his mind, causing him to look at his current surroundings with a hint of fear.

However, after realizing that he was in his part of the room both he and Wells were staying in at the Hama Inn, this fear eventually subsided, being replaced instead with the feeling of confusion as he recalled that he had passed out on the floor of his part of the room, not on his bed.

“Took you long enough to wake up.” Of course, it did not take long for him to find out the cause for his current situation, a bitter smile adorning his face as he looked at the man that had just entered his part of the room. “You do know you’ve made me stay up a bit later than usual since I had to clean off the blood from your face, right?”

“You did?” Hearing the words that came out of Wells’ mouth, Valyr headed towards a nearby mirror as he lightly caressed his face, quickly noticing that his skin felt a bit softer compared to back then. Aside from that, he noticed that his body felt a tad stronger than before, making him remember that he had gone through the ascension process beyond his own volition before falling unconscious.

Deciding to put the matter of ascending to the next rank at the back of his head, he returned his attention back to his face, taking note that none of the blood that trickled down his face could be seen anymore, causing him to feel a hint of guilt at the fact that he had forced Wells to see him in a horrible state, as well as take care of him while he was still unconscious.

Though, just as he was about to apologize to him after what he had him go through, Wells seemingly already had an idea of what was going on in Valyr’s mind. “I don’t need any apology from you. After all, I’m sure you’d probably do the same thing if you were in my shoes.”

As Valyr nodded with a faint smile in response to his words, Wells continued. “Instead, what I want to hear from you is how you ended up in that state last night.”

“I’ve been out for half a day, huh.” Muttering out these words as he let out a light sigh, Valyr took in a deep breath as he organized all of the thoughts in his mind before narrating to Wells what he had been up to after the two of them parted ways yesterday.

With that, Valyr started off his narration at the moment he had left the Imperial Production Guild after the meeting, informing him that he had gone to the Spearman Guild to obtain his subclass. Unsurprisingly, the question of Wells’ subclass amidst this narration, with Valyr curious as to what kind of subclass Wells was planning to obtain. In response, Wells told him that it would be a subclass that suited him very well and synergized with his current class, Spear Scholar, to a considerable extent.

After nodding in response to Wells’ answer, Valyr continued where he left off, telling Wells that he had gone on a detour to complete a quest that could be completed along the way. Omitting the fact that it was a World Quest, he eventually told him that one of the rewards for the quest was a level increase reward, which made him go over the level limit for a Rank 1 class holder.

“With that, I had to go through something called a forced ascension,” said Valyr to Wells. “At first, I ignored it since I still had to complete a few more parts of my quest, but then pain started to kick in after some time.”

“What you saw last night was the result of me trying to endure that pain for as long as possible.” He let out a faint sigh soon after. “Of course, I don’t need to tell you why I decided to ascend here in the inn instead of where I was during the quest.”

“Definitely gives away a lot of information.” Wells nodded in agreement before letting out a long sigh. “Well, I’ll leave you alone for the meantime. Just let me know if you’re heading somewhere or if you want me to come with you.”𝞸𝐕𝑳xt.𝕔𝐎𝓂

“Will definitely do.” Thanking Wells once more for taking care of him while he was unconscious as the man headed to his own part of the room, Valyr was eventually left to his own devices, finally allowing him to take a look at the massive amount of notifications he had gained while he was unconscious.

‘Time to take a look.’

Ding!
