MMORPG: Rise of The Dungeon Master.

Grave said that and then ignored them.

He looked around to find a somewhat empty place near the and he found a somewhat empty spot and sat down there.

The earlier notifications were more complex and had a profound meaning to them.

Those notifications showed an increase in player control of their internal body. Stamina was not an external thing or a simple number.

Players could control their stamina with a simple breathing exercise or even yoga in the game. This all led to the conclusion that player now could control their internal just like a real-life person could do.

All this was not much important, but a crazy player in his past life discovered a shocking method after the 3 years of Liberty Online from the release date.

He discovered a method of controlling the mana flowing inside a player's body and then combining the mana in their body even before they tier up their rank.

His method was a revolutionary thing that helped lots of players but the only problem with his method was that the method was very dangerous and primitive which led to many backlashes like players never being able to use mana again, players losing many of their stats, and much more.

Still, many wasted their characters to try that method. That method was based on a simple thought to use mana as fuel with just a plain human body.

In his past life, the top guild became so obsessed with that method that they started to experiment on many new players crippling their character for their research.

The person who discovered the method did not have a good ending. They charged many criminal cases and legal cases against him just because he refused to work for any guild. All of them ultimately led to his death.

Such a sad story, but Grave ain't care a shit about all that. He would shamelessly steal the first discovery reward instead.

The process may be lethal for a newbie, but all those things were not a problem for Grave, as he had his past life bitter experience.

Grave opened his status.

This was the perfect time for him to try that meditation task.

Grave closed his eyes and tried to focus on the center of his brain. 1min, nothing happed he assigned 1 stat to INT and continued to focus. One more minute passed. Grave assigned 1 more stat to his Int… this continued for 4 minutes and just as Grave assign the 5th stat to his INT. Suddenly, he could feel a blue spark inside his brain. A soothing sensation washed over him.

This was the first step of the training method and the easier one. This was visualization. You needed to increase your mana in large amounts, and you could see this blue spark thing in your brain for a few minutes.

Grave was done with the first step.

Now he tried to move that Blue spark down toward his body. Slowly, the blue spark started moving down, but as it moved, a string of notifications assaulted Grave.

[-2 mana , -1 mana, -2 mana..]

Grave ignored that and slowly moved the spark from his brain to his eyes. After 30 seconds, that spark moved to his eyes.

Ding! ding!

[Congratulation! You are the first to create a mana skill.]

[Mana Eye skill Created!!!]

[Mana Eye (passive): You can see the beauty of the mana around from your eyes.]

Grave ignored that message and continued to move the spark down toward his nose. A new string of messages appeared, and he started to feel a little uncomfortable, that was all.

[-5 health, -9 health, -8 health…]

[!! warning and damage to the mana veins be aware damage to mana could lead to permanent loss of mana]

Shit, the countdown started, he need to finish all of this before he died.

While Grave was doing all the crazy shit, there were no changes to him outside, but only his closed eyes had a very light blue shine to them.

No player notice that for now.

After a minute, Grave successfully moved the blue spark to his nose.

Ding Ding!

[A strange development of mana thing detected…]

[Mana smell skill created!!!]

[Mana smell (passive): You can smell the rich fragrance of mana around you.]

[-8 hp, -11 hp, -9 hp….]

[-6 mana, -3 mana, -5 mana….]

Health and mana depletion increased. Ignoring it, Grave continued to move the mana spark to his tongue next. Same as easily. He was easily successful in that in the next few seconds.

Ding! Ding!

[A crude creation of mana manipulation detected… continued to see the final result.]

[Mana taste skill created!!!]

[Mana taste (passive): You can taste the sweetness of mana around you.]

After doing that, Grave increased his concentration and started adding more mana to the spark.

[-10 mana, -15 mana -8 mana..]

The size of the mana spark increased and break into many smaller pieces. Grave pushed half of the mini sparks to his left ear and the other half to his right ear.

They moved at a high speed.

Smmmmmmmmmmmmm both of his ears rang

Ahhhhh, Grave groaned in pain. This process suddenly transformed from a soothing one to a little torture.

[..... ]

[Mana sound skill created!!!]

[Mana sound (passive): You can hear the melody sound of mana around you.]

[Warning!!! 50% health down proceed with caution.]

Grave clenched his jaw and pushed all the mini sparks down to his body. There rushed down to his body, and he loosed all control.

[Critical -50, Critical -25.]

[Warning! Down to 25% health.]

All the mini sparks traveled down and smashed his inside upside down. For a second, they travel all around his body and then all of them rushed toward his heart.

He was in danger.

[Warning! Down to 10% health]

He finished the second step. It was time for the final last step.

He needed to be fast. He fastly scrolled to the notification.

[.... ]

[Mana touch skill created !!!]

[Warning 5% health left]

[-1…]

[- mana …]

[Hidden stat WIS]

Yup, he got it. Grave internally shouted and just before the mini sparked could collide with his head, he regained control over them and stopped them to burst his heart.

As he regained control over the sparks, all the warning messages stopped appearing.

Grave breathed in relief. His experience helped him to avoid all the problems. He slowly merges all the mini sparks in his heart.

All of them slowly disappeared, and his chest started to shine.

Ding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mana Touch (passive): You can touch and feel the surrounding mana.]

[Merge detected! You got yourself a tremendous opportunity to merge your skills.

Skill combination detected: Mana eyes + Mana smell + Mana taste + Mana sound + Mana touch = ????

Do you want to proceed?

(yes/No)

[Caution: You will lose all the original skills so proceed with caution. ]

]

Grave did not waste any time and clicked yes.

…

As Grave clicked yes outside, all his body parts stopped shining. Suddenly, All pandas stopped doing shit and all of them looked in Grave direction. There all had confused looks on their face as they were starting in that direction.

This was enough to attract the attention of all the players. All the players also looked in that direction but there were so many player gather all around nobody knew who the pandas were looking.

"What happen today? Why are pandas looking there?"

"Maybe they sense something."

"Idiot. Everyone knows they sense something, but what?"

"Are they looking at any player?"

"I don't think so."

"Why, you see, all of them were looking in that same direction."

"I feel like this may be the start of a new event."

"Are you delusional or something? Stop dreaming about events. Events are not so easy to encounter."

"Ah, but I already encounter 2 of them."

"Oh, you must be from that village?"

"Focus guy! we need to find what these pandas are looking at."

Grave teammates also stopped fighting among themselves and started looking around as Puffpandas were looking in their direction.

All the surrounding players just looked at one another and thought nonsense in their heads.

Vice looked around in excitement and said to himself, "Damn, the boss really took us for an adventure." He turned to look at Grave on the side, only to be had his eye wide in shock to find Grave bleeding from his nose.

"Fck, did some invisible enemy attack him? How the fck did he get injured?" Vice moved toward Grave to help him. As he came near him, it shocked him to see Grave smiling.

Vice turned toward Pandas and then toward Grave. "Nah, I am an idiot to even think that. The boss did not even move from his position." Vice shocked his head and moved toward Grave.
