The next few hours of that day were spent farming the dungeon.
With each run they got better and with each victory they got better gear.
Grinding levels became easier thanks to this and they were aiming to each gain gold quality gear as well as reach lv 100.
The gear they obtained was excellent and in the hours they spent farming they each managed to obtain gold gear.
They took multiple runs to reach lv100 as well and during this time Ezekiel was able to master the new spell he had made.
During the final strike on the boss the notification he recieved had actually been to show him something that had achieved.
~~~~~~~~~~
Spell, "Shadowfire Nova Needle (Supreme)" created.
Increased speed and penetration power with significant mana density that releases with explosive force.
~~~~~~~~~~
His spellcasting power was greatly increased by this spell and with the staff he was able to abuse the enemies in the dungeon.
War God obtained a set of armor that made her able to battle the giant skeleton solo as long as she was protected from the boss.
Shade obtained a cloak that made his stealth skills so good the boss wouldn't even see him in the limited space of the mausoleum.
Hope got a ring that made her mana regen and casting speed double for a short time.
Their experiences and new items allowed them to defeat the boss faster and faster which only gave them more loot and more experience.
Other items were given out like a dagger for Shade and a Shield for War God, hope obtained robes and Ezekiel gained a skill book.
Skill books in BLO require specific classes to be useable and this skill book only gave them one description.
It required an Apprentice rank mage class and that was all.
He would have to wait until he figured out how to upgrade his class but that would take time.
After hours of farming the dungeon the group left and found a notification.
~~~~~~~~~~
Server timeout in 12 hours.
Please return to a safe region.
~~~~~~~~~~
After seeing this they decided to just return to the city and explore their new achievements.
Ezekiel
Shadowfire Spear lv10 (L)
Shadowfire Nova lv10 (L)
Shadowfire Nova Needle lv4 (S)
~~~~~~~~~~
With his new level he figured he would have caught up fairly well but he wanted to soar to the peak.
Since they had time they just decided to chat with one another.
"So Shade and I know eachother well, what are the rest of you like?"
"What she means is, are you comfortable telling us about your lives outside the game?"
Ezekiel nodded and decided to go first.
"Well i work for my uncle at his restaurant, im still in highschool but I'll be graduating soon."
The more he spoke the more comfortable he became.
"You can call me Ezekiel or Zeke."
After this hope chose to go next.
"Well I'm currently unemployed and hoped to make money off of this game, I'm not exactly hurting for funds but I want to get off of my family's trust fund."
She was bashful as she spoke and looked down.
"Hope is the name I want to go by after I get off of my family's dime."
Shade chose to introduce himself next.
"Well my name is Keith and I have worked with father for years, Layla and I have known eachother since we were children."
War God, or Layla, spoke up next.
"What he means is we're step siblings and our parents own a few restaurants which he works for."
The four of them spoke about many things while waiting for the servers to close.
They discussed their family lives and what got them into games such as BLO.
When the system finally shut down they were all given another system notification.
~~~~~~~~~~
Servers will be closed for 24 hrs.
