Chapter 431: Breaking the balance of the gameChapter 431: Breaking the balance of the game

( Cervantez’s POV )

After Leo’s global announcement, the player who felt the most riled up was none other than Cervantez.

In his past life, the Demon King never attacked Thumba City, and there was no player who ever killed a Demon Count, until the final war during the final year of their four year journey.

By killing a Demon Count this early, ‘TheBoss’ had disrupted the flow of history big time and Cervantez feared that nothing would be the same anymore.

“History has been slowly shifting over the past year, but recently the change has been drastic.

Since the first ranker event ended, I can’t predict anything accurately anymore. It’s as if my future advantage has been completely compromised,” Cervantez muttered to himself, feeling a knot of anxiety tightening in his gut.

If he remembered correctly, the reward for killing a Demon Count was a mystery pet egg, and as per his memory those eggs were one of the most invaluable items within the game.

“I wonder which of the mythical beast eggs did ‘TheBoss’ receive this time?

I swear, if he received a dragon egg, then he could quite literally become the next Demon King” Cervantez muttered to himself, as he clutched his head in anxiety.

The gap between himself and ‘TheBoss’ was widening and no matter how hard he tried that gap was only getting wider and wider as time passed.

It wasn’t just the levels that Cervantez felt worried about, as not only was ‘TheBoss’ gaining levels rapidly, but also opportunities that came with them.

Fame,MP, experience, special items, ‘TheBoss’ was making the most out of his gaming time, while he was idly waiting for the next demon raid to occur.

“No! This won’t do….. I must be more proactive.

I can’t wait for the demons to attack us…. If I ever wish to catch-up to ‘TheBoss’ then I need to be more proactive like him” Cervantez said to himself, as he decided to throw the word ‘Impossible’ out of his dictionary, and take on more challenges on a daily basis.

( Meanwhile ChaosBringer )

ChaosBringer felt his forehead dripping with sweat when he received ‘TheBoss’s’ private message, which was soon followed by a global announcement of him killing a Demon Count.

“What sort of a beast is that guy? Texting me while being in the midst of a war? Just how many steps ahead is he really thinking?” ChaosBringer wondered, as he immediately sent a message across the guild chat to mobilize all guild members.

As per The Boss’s instructions, the target for the organization was to grab as many territories as possible, which was why ChaosBringer announced expansion plans targeting four neighboring County’s at once.

It was an all hands on deck situation, with roughly 100 thousand to 500 thousand members deployed per target village/ city, however, the serious fighting force amongst this large number was only around 20-30%.

If successful, the organization was set to control over 30% of the Southern Duchy after today, taking a sizable chunk out of the Empire’s control, however, this was a scenario that was easier said than done.

Since the plan of attack was so abrupt, the only plan of attack was to attack with there being no serious strategy behind it.

Almost every attack declared was a happy go lucky campaign which relied on the high membership number of the organization to hopefully outnumber the enemy, however, that was it.

There was no substance behind the attack…. No planning and no semblance of co-ordinated leadership.

It was a chaotic campaign organized just because ‘TheBoss’ demanded it and ChaosBringer just hoped that ‘TheBoss’ would not blame him when it failed miserably.

( Meanwhile the operators of the Arc Ship )

Cervantez was not the only one who was alarmed by the early death of one of the Demon Counts, as the ship’s operators were also equally alarmed by this unprecedented event.

Terra Nova Online was a pretty standard game that they made every migrant colony play before shifting them to planet Terra Nova and the basic storyline was the same for all ships and all players.

Although some parameters were altered based on things like length of the journey and average intelligence of the species playing the game, the basic world background and story remained the same.

The demons were always the common enemy and in the final few months of the journey towards planet Terra Nova, the grand battle against the Demons began, when the players were at their strongest and they had adjusted fully to the game world, having had ample time to develop their unique abilities.

For this batch of humans, this time was scheduled during the last 6 months of their journey, roughly 15 more months from now, however, Leo had jumped the gun wayy too fast.

The probability of any player killing a Demon Count was already low at 0.9%, however, this probability was set for the end period of the game, whereas the probability of a player killing a Demon Count in the current time was near 0.

However, not only was Leo killing Demon Counts, he was also doing it for fun in an event which was completely unexpected and unprecedented for the operators.

“What should we do? The actor class player in this timeline has started to emerge as an anomaly…..

Should we perhaps start thinking about ways to nerf him? Because if not, this man will ruin the balance of the game single-handedly” An alien operator suggested to his peer, who felt equally confused on what they should do with Leo.

On one hand, his achievements were praiseworthy, however, on the other hand, they were so outlandish that he was now breaking the balance of the game.

“I’m afraid we can’t make a decision regarding such an important player by ourselves….. I think we will have to refer to the home base for this” The second alien operator said, as after careful consideration, he decided to refer Leo’s case to even his superiors.
