Yoshiki and Luca headed out into the wild to take a look at the new scenic routes the game had. There were so many new updates to the world that eventually, newer places to explore were made available. Yoshiki looked around hoping to see anything dangerous.
"Remember, Nadja looks like a bad kid's drawing. You can't miss him." said Luca.
"Yes I saw the picture your son drew. Was he really that ugly?" asked Yoshiki.
"Oh yes, terribly." said Luca.
"So what does he do that is so dangerous apart from his magic?" asked Yoshiki.
"Manipulation. He has the power to convince you otherwise of so many things." said Luca.
"I get the picture. So he lives in that scary castle far away from here. Okay, so we just need to get ourselves ready to fight against him." said Yoshiki.
"You got this do you? I mean, you are at level 99 thanks to work of the doctor." said Luca.
"Yeah. But even though my status is maxed out, I still need to see what type of power I have. I don't want to rush in unprepared you know." said Yoshiki.
"Let's start by hunting down some monsters. We can start with enemies that you were to encounter halfway through the game as a start." said Luca as he led Yoshiki to a scary cave.
Inside, was a dungeon full of treasure chests, items and of course, enemies walking back and forth. They were NPCs after all.
"Go ahead and fight one of them." said Luca.
"Just like that? Really? Aren't you going to show me some moves?" asked Yoshiki.
"This is just like playing on a VR game. But the beauty of it is that you get to actually swing a sword without the fear of knocking down furniture in your living room. Give it a shot." said Luca.
Yoshiki never played VR games before in his life, but he decided to give it a try anyway. He jumped incredibly high and swinged his sword at an enemy boar. The boar was at level 40, which meant it was one of the end game foes.
"Don't lose focus. Beat the crap out of it." said Luca.
"Okay, here goes nothing." said Yoshiki as he attacked. However, to his surprise, there was a command window in his eyes. Yoshiki was impressed to see so many attack forms. Many of them were ultimate combos and end game powers, which delighted Yoshiki.
"I get to attack with a triple sword power hack and slash ability! How cool is that!?" cried Yoshiki.
"Focus man! You need to focus or else your foe will defeat you to the ground!" cried Luca.
"Okay! Thanks for the tip! Here I go!" cried Yoshiki with delight as he attacked the boar with a powerful finishing move.
Ulysses entered the throne room with the still frozen NPCs and noticed a crystal ball that would have belonged to Nadja. Ulysses chuckled at the kid friendly design of Nadja's hidden lab full of ancient books, old tools and a bunch of hidden items used to trade for powerful weapons in the game. Ulysses was about to leave until he heard a voice coming from the crystal ball floating in space.
The hacker turned to see a young man attacking a boar with happiness and boasting about his power. Ulysses couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Did the government realize I was here in this world?" he asked to himself. Ulysses realized that he was already caught. But to his relief, the young man in the ball didn't look like he knew who the hacker was. He was hearing the conversation and heard only Nadja's name and of course the "hacker" with an unknown name. This eased Ulysses and he walked outside to take some fresh air.
"I shouldn't worry. Those kids believe Nadja to be alive. I could use that to my advantage..." Ulysses smiled and looked at the frozen NPC of Nadja with a horrible blank expression .
