Chapter 122: Skill points spree [6]
The Harbinger’s Paradox was the last team quest to continue their skill points gathering spree that Noah embarked on with his teammates.
This time, after fighting the Harbinger, even Noah was tired.
And eventually, they called it a day, going to rest.
The next day, after waking up, the grind continued.
With Nightingale going all out and doing so much for Club Echelon, they were now also under pressure to do their best for the club.
It was no longer just a personal dream anymore, it now encompassed much more. Club Echelon also represented Nightingale’s dream and passion.
Noah and his teammates wanted nothing more than to get to the elusive level 60 as fast as possible.
And so, with Noah taking the lead, across the next few days and weeks, they continued their skill points gathering spree.
To make it more interesting, Aria created a competition to determine who’ll be the fastest and slowest to clear the quests.
Of course, there were rewards for the winner and a penalty for the loser.
And so, it started.
For the next few days, Noah went berserk alongside his friends.
First, they took on the Trial of the Forbidden Kings quest, a solo quest where they each faced off against the spirits of ancient kings who ruled over the Heavenly Domain before the age of gods.
Each King specialized in a unique combat style, forcing players to adapt and counter different techniques, but trust Noah and his cohort.
Since it was a competition, they approached it with even more brutal efficiency than normal.
It was no longer just skill points and XP that was at stake, pride too.
The others in the team may be less competitive maniacs, but when it came to Aria and Noah, both absolutely loathed losing.
And so the battle started.
For the Trial of the Forbidden Kings quest, like expected, Noah finished first, Aria coming as a close second.
A few days later, they took on the Abysswalker’s Reckoning, another solo quest where deep within the Shadow Abyss, an entity lied trapped between mortality and godhood. That entity was the main character of the quest.
This time, the challenge was a 1v1 duel against the demi-god.
In a battle where the opponent adapts to the challenger’s fighting style in real time, mirroring their techniques and countering them, Noah was the worst type of challenger for the demi-god.
The A.Is’ integrated ML (machine learning) algorithm simply could not keep up with his genius and battle I.Q.
Once he figured it out, it became a one-sided thrashing.
The poor demi-god was bruised and battered. And again, Noah clinched first position in the personal contest with his friends.
Next, they took on the Duelist’s Graveyard, a crazy challenge where each of them had to take on 100 warriors at a time with the difficulty increasing as they progressed through the stages.
This was a challenge that pushed them to their limits.
And this was when Aria shone. Her ultra-aggressive style worked wonders against the horde style of this quest.
Even in the Pro Alliance, Aria was always at her best when outnumbered.
And for the first time in a while, Aria bested Noah in the game.
You had to see her reaction.
"Hahahaha, I won!" Aria felt on top of the world. "Finally!"
Noah chuckled. "I accept, you win this time".
"That’s not enough," she shook her head. "Write a message in the public chat and pin it that Reckless Storm won against you".
Noah stared at Aria, speechless. "For real?"
She laughed evilly. "That’s the price of losing".
Well, against Aria’s pestering, Noah had no choice.
He sent a message in the public chat of the 11th server, pining it and like expected, it caused a storm in the 11th server.
Afterall, Lord Doom was a big celebrity these days.
Not only was he the infamous expert of the 11th server, he was also the guild leader of guild Echelon. Not just that, he was God Noah!
Aria basked in the attention that the message attracted, enjoying the moment to the fullest. Afterall, it was not everyday that you get to beat Noah in the game called Warstar.
While Noah and his friends enjoyed themselves in the game, devoting all their time to the single-minded purpose of Warstar, leveling up their Avatars, time continued moving in the outside world.
And as the days passed, more matchdays of the English Warstar Pro Alliance came and went as the ranking in the table became more stable with time.
For the moment, Phoenix Rising was leading the line as the forerunner, leading the whole league in terms of points.
As for Cyber Squad, they truly were having a crisis of a season as despite playing more than 4 games already, they were still below 15 in the ranking.
But every game, Cyber Squad showed signs of improving.
After the first embarrassing game against Lionhearts Legacy where Harvey completely toyed with Cyber Squad’s new captain, in the other games that followed, Caster managed to show far more composure.
The other clubs that faced Cyber Squad also targeted him like Harvey did, but Caster stayed composed, regaining his best form game after game.
And then, one day, suddenly, a new employee arrived at Club Echelon.
Nightingale hired a lot of employees already, so it was not shocking to see a new employee. But this time, it was no ordinary employee.
It was...
Benjamin looked at Aria, flabbergasted. "This..., this...!"
...
It was a normal morning at Club Echelon’s headquarters, or as normal as things could be when you were at the heart of England’s most controversial new eSports team.
Aria and the rest of the team had gathered in the common area, lounging in their usual spots.
Caleb was scrolling through stat sheets; Benjamin was unsurprisingly making yet another pun about their last quest. Genevieve was enjoying a quiet cup of tea, and Aria..., well, she was oddly focused on her phone.
Just another day.
Until the door opened.
A man stepped inside.
Tall, lean, with an air of quiet confidence.
Dressed in business-casual attire, Gabriel surveyed the room with a neutral expression, taking in each person in turn.
Then, he casually adjusted his glasses and said. "Good morning. I’ll be working here from now on".
Silence.
Imagine the shock.
A full ten seconds of absolute, dumbfounded silence, then...
"WHAT?!"
It was Caleb who reacted first, stuttering. "G-Gab-I mean, brother-in-law..." He fumbled, cursing.
Genevieve blinked rapidly, completely caught off guard. "Wait..., when did this happen?"
Benjamin stared at Aria, completely flabbergasted. "This..., this...!"
Noting their reactions, Aria smirked.
’F*ck! She got us!’ Benjamin cursed.
