After exiting the dungeon again Ezekiel was about to immediately enter as before but he was forced away by a large player.
"You the mage we been looking for eh? You don't look to special, wonder what you did."
Ezekiel got annoyed by the sudden blockade and tried to pull away.
"Look I don't know who you are or what you want but I'm trying to play the game?"
The player seemed as if he was about to say something but Ezekiel quickly got within range of the dungeon and selected the difficulty once again.
Inside of the cave he took a small breather but had to start killing the undead once again.
'What the hell did I do to make so many players come after me? All I did was accidentally destroy the wolf.'

Outside of the dungeon an orc warrior was laughing in a booming voice while he watched the human warrior who had grabbed Belial throwing a tantrum.
"That bastard ignored me!? ME?!"
Different players were moving away from the dungeon now, although they were there for their own reasons they would rather avoid the threat of this specific clan.
"I am THE REAPER!"
The orc player only laughed louder.
"Yeah yeah reaper we get it you're a super important guy even though you're just a lieutenant in the clan, come on you can't go losing your shit everytime someone doesn't recognize you."
The orc opened his bag to get a sheet of paper out and once he had it in hand he began to read out loud.
"Bring the mage in to the clan, do whatever it takes and try to beat the dungeon."
"Those were our instructions Reaper so stop acting like an idiot over your non existent reputation."
Reaper walked over and looked up at the orc with an expression of disgust.
"That's why you won't get anywhere in this world Bruno, you have no ambition... fine you stay here while I go get some xp."
Reaper left and chose to enter the dungeon.
Bruno shook his head and looked at the people waiting around, most of them were waiting to see the War God but many were there for selfish reasons.
He knew that they were there hoping to be recruited but most would be ignored, others would be there hoping to get a team to go into a dungeon crawl as well.
He also knew that some were there with hostile intentions by order of their leaders or their benefactors.
One player caught his eye often, an elf in a dark robe. Continue your adventure at m|v-l'e-NovelFire
Claiming to have spoken with a god would normally be blasphemy and even amongst the celestial race the punishments were severe for this criminal act.
But no NPCs moved against him.
They were to busy staring at the blade he held and the armor he wore.
"The goddess Luminous wishes for the celestial race otherworlders to declare war on the church of light!"
As he spoke he saw the NPCs getting something ready, he got excited the moment he could see the glow opening from the center.
'They opened a gate! I won't have to fly to that city oh thank the gods.'
"For to long the church has killed in her name, for to long they have used her own name as some kind of free pass to commit atrocities that Lady Luminous has been disgusted by!"
The more he spoke the more natural it felt to call his fellow players to arms.
"She says that she swore her people to an oath of non acknowledgement against the church, when they are in the cities of the world they are never to act as if the church exists!"
He put his sword into the sheath and raised both of his arms high to call them all to look at the gate.
"Luminous has kept her native celestials from interfering but we dont have such an oath!"
He pointed directly at the gate.
"Through that gate we will find our enemies forces spread all across the land, cities corrupted by them and forced into giving their leaders equal authority in their government."
He said this part with disgust as he had seen what the church was like in the past.
They took advantage of the ignorant and they manipulated events to suit their desires.
They were known to be behind many events that transpired in the world, from the fall of Raylock to the entire race war between the allied nations and the infernal nation.
The church of light had spent over a century trying to kill the devil queen but none of their attempts had worked, they had infiltrated many kingdoms and given themselves significant power.
It was so significant that it reached the point where even if the leaders of these kingdoms knew about the fact that the church was not even remotely connected to the goddess of light nothing could be done.
In the capital cities of the allied nations there was a branch of the church with their own head priests who all answered to the pope.
In these kingdoms the church had a hand in not only the government but also the economic side of the nations.
They could destroy a cities economy simply by leaving and taking the businesses they owned, they could use this threat to hold sway over leaders.
What made the church even more disgusting to him was the fact that they could affect how the poor and desperate citizens felt about their lives.
They would never be removed without force because a large portion of the population viewed them as saviors.
He might not have liked being forced to take a quest with such significance but he didn't oppose the destruction of the church.
