1 chapter 1: Cave of akaksha
In the forest of Utah. A man wearing a full plate armor with a symbol of the lion entered with the group of people wearing different armor.
His name was dragha.
The game character or rather Sakura's avatar in the game.
For years, she grain her game avatar dragha into level 80 and even joined her online friend's guild.
The conquest game was a very popular game with many myster which players explored the map.
Although there are tons of players all over the world. None of them uncovered the mystery of the world and few of this people are less than 10%.
Most players have already established their own country but in conquest game there is only one rule.
That is to conquered lands. Challenging other countries to fight and also defeat the strongest opponent.
When Sakura discovered the cave. She decided to call the members of the Shinjuku lion's guild.
This guild was on the rank 7 strongest guild in conquest online have many members in different parts of the game, while some even collaborate with the guild.
When the guild members entered the cave. A notification showed in their screen.
[Welcome to cave of akaksha]
Upon reading the description. Sakura was vigilant to surroundings as she knew that every players step in the cave or dungeon.
They either be ambush or triggered a trap.
"Dragha, what do you think about this cave."
A man wearing a armor but expose his face was none other but Dimitri.
He is a vice leader of the group and also the executive of the guilds.
Sakura glance at Dimitri and spoke softly.
"Hmm.... I think it's best to check every traps here."
"You sure? This place looks fine?"
As one of the members was starting to walk. He didn't notice that he already step in the pressured steeping trap.
Clink.
Upon hearing this, Sakura who the player's mistake scream on them.
"Run?!"
Before that could even run. Hundreds of arrows was shot in the walls.
Most players are either killed or became like porcupines. Although there are some got injured. They never expecting a another effect.
*Ting*
[You have been poisoned]
[10% of current health with reduced per sec]
[Warning: the poison was strong and only high grade potion are required]
[Warning: poison can be stock per arrows when it reach 10 arrows you died]
When they saw the notification. Every was shock and surprised.
"Shit am injured anyone got high potion?"
"No, my HP was reducing quickly?!"
"Where is my high potion?!"
Although some players was finding a ways to counter the poison. Others are not so lucky.
Some players who got hit more than 6 arrows didn't even last long in just one step.
There avatar died and some was killed on the spot.
Sakura and the others was lucky. If not for his quick response. They all died.
"Who's bastard step on the trap?!"
Dimitri who was enraged was looking at the culprit but that culprit already dead. If not then he will be receiving a harsh scorn.
"Give it up Dimitri, there is no use right now."
Even if he beat that player. Sakura knew that it will never change. Some of the members in the Shinjuku's lion guild was nothing but a bunch of greedy.
As they resume there walk. The group became vigilant and doesn't encounter any traps.
Upon reaching the large wooded door. They all entered the room.
What they saw was a very spacious place.
They can see so many different kinds of wooded chairs that looks like it have some mold. While others are rotten in time but, they all surprised on what they saw.
In the altar was a small golded statue.
"Could it be a legacy?!"
Legacy was the most important items that left by the previous owner.
Most players that has legacy was less than 5% and some cases they are rare or unique. But even if it's just a common grade.
The players are willing to go to war just to acquired the legacy.
The players who wants to get the legacy decided to rush and steal the legacy. But of course that's not going to happened because others wanted the legacy too.
Before they could even reach the altar. Something unexpected happened.
Bang.
Out of nowhere. The player who almost reach the altar was killed on the spot.
This makes everyone to stop on their tracks and a figure revealed itself.
"Mi-minotaur?!"
Roooarrr!!!!!
*Ting*
[The guardian of akaksha has arrived]
As the notification pops out. The minotaur didn't wait long as it swing it's giant axe to the players.
In just one swing. The unlucky ones died while others was blown off and received the injury.
Sakura who was looking at the minotaur look at Dimitri and Said.
"Let's take this one down?!"
"Yes!"
As the two rush forward. Sakura drew her sword and block the minotaur's axe.
The minotaur's attack was so heavy that it cracks the stone on the floor.
When Dimitri was near. Sakura look at Dimitri and shouted hit the eye balls?!
But then something unexpected happened.
Dimitri didn't help instead he when for the golden statue.
"Dimitri?!"
Sakura never thought that Dimitri just left him just that.
When Dimitri grab the golden statue. He laugh loudly and said. It's finally mine.
He took the scroll from the inventory and smile in front of everybody.
They never expecting that Dimitri just left them like that but the most person who got hit hard was Sakura.
At first, she thought that Dimitri was a good person that she could trust. Unlike the other guild members, he acts like a righteous person and have a trust from other people including the guild master, but it's wrong.
Now that the statue was already steal. They left the fight one by one. And some regret coming here.
When Sakura got herself freed from the minotaur. She thought of leaving too but she decided not too.
Even though the legacy was taken. She can still take some experience from him.
As she was lock her gaze to the minotaur. A notification pops out.
*Ting*
[Player dragha was kick out from the guild. You are no longer part of the guild]
"What?!"
Sakura never thought that after Dimitri's betrayed. The guild she just join in for a couple of months will do the same.
Feeling anger in this situation. She decided to beat the minotaur alone.
"Crescent slash?!"
Swing the sword from the bottom to top. The crescent shape hit the torso of the minotaur.
[You dealed 5% damage]
Roooaarrr?!
"Haaaaa!!!!!"
The minotaur and Sakura keep exchanging blows for over a minute as she keeps cursing.
"Die?!"
Splash.
[You dealed 2% damage]
When her attack was shallow. The minotaur gave a counter attack and punch Sakura in the stomach. This cause her to send flying and hit the wall hard.
[You received 15% damage]
[Critical hit additional 23% damage]
As she saw the minotaur charge her. She quickly dodge the minotaur 's charge and hit the stone wall. Lucky for her, the minotaur's horn got stuck in the wall as it gave her a chance.
Sakura quick stab the minotaur's neck causing it to scream loudly.
[You dealed 8% damage]
[You hit the vulnerable area additional 12% bleeding to the enemy]
"You're not going to escape?!"

[Critical hit additional 20% damage]
[The minotaur died]
With a loud stomp. Sakura couldn't keep standing as she falls to the ground.
"Bastards."
Ripping the guild's logo. She couldn't help but to hate everyone in the guild.
When she start her way to top. She treats everyone as her friends but she never expecting that their greed was too much. To the point they betrayed her.
Players will do anything in the game as long as they acquired what they want.
Even though she didn't want to accept it. The reality was right on her face.
While Sakura felt like crying. A notification pops out.
*Ting*
[You defeated the minotaur]
[You received 3% experience]
[Congratulations you pass the hidden trial]
[The hidden door has opened]
"What? A hidden door?!"
Looking at the screen.
She notice that the door to the other side open it's own.
This makes Sakura to be surprised. her grievance was replace with joy to the point she ignored the minotaur's corpse.
Upon entering the hidden passage.
The room was different from the other one.
The place was too clean and well maintained. Unlike the other one that looks like it's been eaten in time. This one was not.
On the center was a skeleton dragon that looks like it was resting, and next to his foot was a armored knight. Sitting in a chair as he resting his head in his arms.
Not only that, in front of the knight was a golden table on the top was grail.
Inside looks like a wine but she have doubts so took a paper and said "appraisal."
*Ting*
[Appraisal fail]
For the first time in her gaming days. The praise failed in inspecting items.
Usually the appraisal failed only if it's a high grade item but even if it's high. It will still reveal some information such as it's name.
"How could this be? Most items in the world can appraise items?"
As she ponder a bit she then took the grail and mutter.
"Should I drink this?"
Although she have doubts in this red liquid. She decided to do so since she have nothing to loss.
Upon gulping the whole. She felt nothing and said.
"That's taste good. I wonder what k-."
But before she could even continued. A notification pops out.

[Warning: the dragon god ignore the goddess and the goddess anger then start fighting the dragon god]
[Warning: two divinity fought each other inside your body]
[Start the synchronizing]
"Ahhhhh."
Sakura or rather dragha scream in pain as her character felt that he was slice and reconstruct at the same time.
To avoid the real life pain or trauma. The company block those to the human brain. In other words. There character game might screaming in agony while the players are not.
Watching her character scream. She couldn't help but getting goosebumps all over her body.
She thinks what will happened to her if it's real.
As she sigh in helpless situation. A notification pops out.
[Character dragha reaching the near mental breakdown]
[Warning: character will not hold on if it's continued. Use high tier elixir or your character will deleted]
"What?!"
Looking at the situation, Sakura move her arms towards her satchel.
But the situation was getting worst to the point it couldn't even move it's limbs.
"I grain this character will sweat and blood. Like hell I will start again."
Sakura forcefully moving her limbs into the satchel as it moves in inches.
Little by little while the arms of her character was trimbling. She took a high elixir out but before she could even open the bottle. A notification pops out.
*Ting*
[Character deleting in 20 seconds]
[Character deleting in 19 seconds]
[Character deleting in 18 seconds]
Little by little, she became desperate as she struggling opening the bottle.
"Come on open."
With a pop, the bottle has finally open but when she saw the countdown, she became desperate.
[Character deleting in 06 seconds]

As the synchronizing was increasing. The character dragha was laying on the ground and didn't move.
She never thought that by drink from the grail will almost deleting her character but. What surprising was the character deleting.
Unlike players who can delete their character willingly. This is the first time that a game will automatically deleting a game character.
Although she has many questions. She decided to wait a little bit.
[Synchronizing: 100%]
[Character has restored]
[The two gods finally settled their difference and decided to watch]
As Sakura sigh on relief. She thought that her blessings will be taking back by her Patriot god hestia.
Hestia was considered a neutral god and also loved by the players. More over for all the gods in conquest online. She got many followers and even champions including dragha.
What's more, she didn't know who is the dragon god.
During the history of the game. Players discovered many things including gods but not a dragon god.
There are cases that dragon god exists in the records but the community didn't have evidence.
As Sakura thinks what to do next. A notification pops out
[Character dragha restored]
[Congratulations host. You're chapter dragha was now a demi human]
[You received dragon eyes skill]
[You received dragon transformation skill]
[You received dragon language skill]
[You received dragon's breath skill]
After receiving four new skills she decided to check it's power but before she do that. She heard a voice.
"Oh? So you are my new draconic."
Looking behind her. She saw a man wearing a white robe but what surprised her was he was not a human.
