Noah, ever the strategist, focused his search in houses near the village temple. "Older homes," he muttered, "always cluster around the central point."
The village's unsettling emptiness, while eerie, offered a chance to think clearly.
"Going into houses..." he mumbled, "...that needs...well, it would need a lot of confidence if anyone was actually here."
He almost felt sorry for anyone using Arthur's map.
"So much time," he thought, "to build trust with each homeowner...if there were any homeowners left."
Yesterday had been good.
Really good. After a methodical search, he'd found it.
The treasure. "Finally," he sighed. Relief washed over him. It was a reward for his patience.
He thought about the challenges.
"Empty village," he murmured.
"No one around...and so many houses."
His success was all down to his careful planning. "Quiet streets," he mused, "unnerving at first, but they helped me concentrate."
Now, the treasure was his.
With trembling hands and a pounding heart, he faced the dragon's treasure chest.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
To obtain it, the player needed to complete many quests, so it must contain high-level treasure.
"Come on, come on,"
Noah muttered, his fingers fumbling with the lock.
"What ancient wonders, what unimaginable riches lay within?"
He could barely contain his excitement as he prepared to unlock the secrets held within the ornate chest.
Noah's eyes widened. A single, blood-red pill nestled within the bottle. He recognized it instantly.
Despite the solitary nature of the find, a thrill of excitement coursed through him.
This lone pill, he knew, was potent. He carefully capped the bottle, a sense of anticipation building.
He knew its properties, its potential. This crimson capsule held the key.
In the realm of DragonWar, players begin their journey as humans.
However, destiny can be altered with a mystical item: the race change pill.
Consuming this rare artifact allows players to transcend their human form and embrace the powers and abilities of a new race, opening up a world of strategic possibilities.
In this world, humanity is categorized as weak, so the transformation of the race is Noah's dream.
This pill is Arthur's, so it must be from a great race, even if Noah doesn't know what race it can change.
Noah swallowed the pill. Almost immediately, a burning sensation spread through his body, like fire in his veins. Agony ripped through him.
"What...what have I done?" he gasped, before darkness claimed him.
After more than ten hours, Noah finally came out of unconsciousness, Noah immediately looked at his character's window.
