Rebirth: Over the Horizon

"Just because of your old grudge, we can't sacrifice this many people's lives. But you're right they wouldn't do it for free but we're no different than them in that case don't you think?" Kendra bell the head of the priest guild asked the others.

Harper Diren was about reply when the Lord of the AXSIS spoke up for the first time since the discussion began.

"I believe that requesting assistance from the Eternal City is a sensitive topic, thus I will not grant permission." The lord lifted a finger and smacks his lips "Next to the capital, Axis is, has been, and always will be the strongest city. Even now, in the midst of a crisis!!"

"Aren't there otherworldly immortals? With their support, I believe we will be able to ward off this invasion."

"Yes, there are otherworldly immortals," the leader of the fire mage said, "but they take 1 day to reappear after they have died."

When a scout reached the camp at that time, he disregarded the tension in the air and sent the message to the leader of the scout guild.

"Scouts have already visited both Eternal city and Adanium."

"Apparently, a monster invasion occurred in Eternal City as well, and they are now dealing with it."

"Adanium is under a severe lockdown overseen by capital because of the development of a mysterious sickness in the city," Alicia, the scout class's leader, explained.

She resumed after a little pause.

"What concerns me is the fact that we know almost little about the invasion's 'Lord.' Warriors and scouts who ventured into the inner zone were also quickly slain."

"Not only that, but this invasion is very strange." In general, the outbreak is led by the monster 'Lord' or his minions, although no one knows who they are yet.

"but, so far no one even knows who or what the Lord even is." Alicia finished.

"So, we are all going to die?" Elena asked, but no one had an answer to her question.

Except one, he was the Harper Diren, the leader of dark magic, the most aged and talented person here.

"Not at all, we still have a ray of hope. We have them, after all, we are not Axsis's only defenders"

He was mentioning to the players (immortal).

"Even if, Leon Sebastian, Azumi Chiyoko and Yang Zhang Zao, and Andrew white, combined the forces, they will still not be able to fend off, the waves of monsters" Kendra questioned.

"Who's to say they're the only ones? We still have the most powerful immortal(player)"

"You mean Adam Crystal,"

"Uhm...we haven't seen him since the beginning of the conflict; he's hiding SOMEWHERE," Andrex scoffed.

Suddenly, the light in the room began to decrease, and darkness gradually filled the room but came to a halt in the middle.

Harper Diren was plainly issuing a warning to the rest of the individuals in the room.

"He isn't hiding; he isn't allowed to come over here."

"In addition, he is my SUCCESSOR."

His final words sent shivers down the spines to the people who were seated in the room.

"He is Se...Senior's successor"

"YES, so just stall time, he will soon appear, all the people here know, how powerful I was in my prime time"

"YES, SENIOR...WE WILL DO AS YOU SAY,"

The 14 elites departed from the room as they replied to Harper Diren in unison and respect.

At last, there was only one person left in the room, he was the Lord of AXSIS, Christian.

'Why...WHY all of them listen to the orders of that damn old thing...Tch...Sooner or later I have to do something'

As he thought he moved his fat ass and body to the dining place.

Many of the [Horizon] players, including Leon, Azumi, Yang Zhang, and Andrew, were busy battling off the monsters.

They were slaying animals left and right, but their overall numbers were so enormous that even after going all out against the monsters, they were still unable to defeat them.

Furthermore, their numbers only dropped for a brief period before more monsters appeared out of nowhere and attacked them.

They'd seen a similar scenario previously, when Arnold, [Fantasy online's] ultimate boss, lost his temper and conjured a gateway to summon all the demons from the demon world while fighting the 'inhumans' known as players.

And they knew, that no matter what they do, their situation wasn't going to improve just like it didn't improve in the final quest of [Fantasy online].

Though here players were good people and demons were evil, all matters who stand at last.

[Fantasy online] was a 2032 FIVR launch, that lasted until 2041 and was highly popular all around the world.

Players in [Fantasy online] are otherworldly wicked beings that will slaughter NPCs in order to reclaim their kingdom.

The ultimate opponent, the King of All Kingdoms, will lose his temper and opens the sealed portal, allowing all demons to enter and slaughter all players and NPCs.

The game also ended up just like that, many people were very angry to the extent they nearly intended to destroy the HQ of the Game company.

It was agreeable, the players were playing it for nearly 10 years...how can they sit still when the game's ending was like this.

'I wonder where Adam is' Azumi remembered as she smiled.

(Don't misunderstand there will be No harem)

"Quit spacing out rude girl!" Andrew yelled as he smashed the giant scorpion that was about to use its stinger on her back.

"Thanks, I owe you one"

"Uh...Let's see.. even you know how to thank others, huh!?"

"Shut up, Andrew, Concentrate on the war, You motherfu**ker"

'She is back to her usual self...' as Andrew snorted he continued to kill these monsters.

After all, all of them had been fighting on the front lines ever since this invasion happened. It was obvious that they were exhausted and unlike the monsters, they didn't have an endless supply of warriors that could help them fend off the attack.

THE GM ALSO BLOCKED THE LOG-OUT OPTION, IF YOU LOG OUT DESPITE THE WARNING.

YOUR LEVEL WILL BE INSTANTLY DROP DOWN TO ONE.

So, no one dared to log out of the game.

The only way they could put an end to this was to defeat and kill the Monster Lord but unfortunately, no one was able to reach near him.

The monsters were concentrated near the boss, and it wasn't easy to get rid of that many monsters, even the four of them had failed, when they tried to push through the monsters.

"Damn they just keep coming!" Andrew panicked after he saw goblins, ogres, and orcs that were making their way towards them through the army of monsters.

"We have to do what we can, You know what waits for us if we lost the battle right?" Azumi commented as she rushed to kill them.
