8 Chapter 8

After several hours of repetitive and tedious monitoring, Tensura's GM rubbed his eyes and felt his sleepiness disappear when he saw the message on his monitor.

"G-Group Leader!" Kevin Lewis, Tensura's GM, shouted in an urgent voice. "It is serious!"

"What is it?" The team leader of Tensura's operations was overwhelmed by the continuous monitoring and responded while massaging his eyes.

****

Cedric Felix is the main developer and creator of the virtual reality game system, as well as the man who led the creation of Tensura by founding the Atlas Corps.

He was the head of Tensura's development team as well as the head of the Atlas Corps, so he slept less than four hours a day on average.

The sound of his phone ringing jolted Cedric Felix awake. He looked at the clock and realized it was 3:50 a.m. He'd barely been asleep for about 30 minutes. Cedric's ability to think was crushed by the cumulative exhaustion of a month's worth of late nights.

"What is going on?" he asked over the phone, his voice a little harsh.

The phone rang with an urgent message.

Cedric Felix awoke instantly. "I'm leaving right now! As soon as I come, please send me the report! "

Then he dressed and took the elevator to his house's basement level. Limited edition cars from high-end companies were parked in the underground parking garage in order of preference. He stepped into a Ferrari and drove straight to the company.

Cedric Felix ran fast into Tensura's Operations Office and asked, without recovering his breath, "What happened?" Cedric Felix bowed to Dan Santiago, the head of the operations team, and adjusted his glasses. "It happened fifteen minutes ago."

"How interesting!" The excited Cedric Felix sat down and turned his gaze to the huge monitor on the wall.

The paused video started playing. The main character of the video was the highest leveled swordsman. It shows how he accidentally fell into a deep pit after being the first to kill an epic boss and his battle against 100 men with a handicap.

It also shows him fighting against a legendary boss with almost zero odds of winning, emerging victorious and acquiring the strongest combat legendary class.

The staff handed two documents to Cedric as he watched the video. Cedric read it and rubbed his chin.

"In reality, an average high school student, and in Tensura, he possessed an unrivaled talent, keen senses, and quick reaction speed. Calm-minded in any situation, but usually a bit lazy sometimes. "

According to the analysis from the development team's supercomputer, "Uriel", the Forgotten Cave was supposed to be found by users in three years. In other words, it meant that the appearance of the legendary class was originally supposed to be three years later.

One young man broke everyone's expectations and hastened the timing. It was still the first day of Tensura's being released, yet he was the first and the sole legendary class in the game.

Cedric was greatly interested in the user who gave him a great surprise. Dan also thought the same as he couldn't believe how amazing the young one was.

"It was merely a product of coincidence that he discovered the Forgotten Cave."

"I see," Cedric said.

Zephyr, the player, had only been playing the hand game for a day and had already accumulated over 4,500 karma. In Tensura, the concept of karma was very important. It was a scoring system based on someone's achievements. The system provides rewards based on karma.

Karma points can also be called reputation as you possess high Karma points. Your reputation is also high as it symbolises your achievements in Tensura. Making it easy to have a conversation and gain affinity from an NPC

Most players haven't accumulated any yet, but Zephyr already possessed thousands of karma, which made them impressed.

The most impressive thing about him was his discovery of the Forgotten Cave. He found it by pure luck. He met and completed the requirements for the linked quest to possess the legendary class.

Cedric Felix thought. 'Fighting 100 men at once while blinded was already extremely hard. No player should be able to compete, much less win a legendary boss, even if it was weakened,' Cedric Felix thought.

Anyway, as Dan Santiago said, this chain was the result of coincidence and an extraordinary ability. However, the young man proved that when coincidences overlapped several times, it could create a positive cloud. It also reminded Cedric of how valuable patience and hard work were.

'Luck and persistence are also great abilities,' he remarked inwardly. Suddenly, the expressions of the employees grew serious.

Dan asked Cedric, "A legendary class has appeared three years sooner than expected. A legendary class is already very powerful.What's more, if he obtains the Sword Saint on the first day of release, won't the balance be broken? "

"What can we do even if it isn't okay? We have a policy of not directly interfering in the game, so think positively. Isn't it a good thing that a very talented user obtained it? I'm sure it would push the other players to catch up with him. " Cedric, who was watching the young man on the monitor, suddenly flinched and fell silent.

He shook his head at Dan's puzzled expression. "No, it isn't a big deal. I will be leaving now. You have suffered a lot from the late nights of work. I will give you a bonus soon, so please suffer for a bit longer. "

The atmosphere of the employees became excited at the word 'bonus'.

Suddenly, all of them would be surprised again by what Zephyr was about to do.

****

Zephyr inspected Abaddon as he was very vigilant at the moment as his level was reset to level 1.

Zephyr furrowed his eyebrow as he looked at the HP but then remembered that legendary figures don't die easily as they become invincible for 5 seconds. He wondered how the system considered his victory when he was not dead yet.

Zephyr didn't dally as he held the Frost Light Sword in his hand and stabbed Abaddon.

Suddenly, numerous notifications appeared as if it would shake the entire server.

[Announcement: Player Zephyr has successfully killed the Legendary Demonic Swordsman Abaddon, a legendary boss, on his own. He has become the first player to kill a legendary boss. He will be awarded all stats times 2 and a top-quality weapon. For the rest of the players, please continue to work hard.]

The announcement was repeated three times which made all the players widen their eyes as they couldn't believe it. Zephyr, the player killed not just another boss, but a legendary boss.

All guilds immediately sent out people to ask about the information about Zephyr. The forum was bombarded with posts related to Zephyr.

"How is that possible? He soloed a legendary boss? How could he kill a boss alone in the first place? "

"I am sure he is an expert. Sir Zephyr, please make me your disciple! I will follow anything."

"Isn't this suspicious? Maybe he found a bug or something? I mean, killing an epic and legendary boss is suspicious as hell. "

"Shut up! You're just jealous as you don't have 1% of his skills. Noobs should stay put. "

"Your mom is a noob!"

"Did you say noob? Meet me in the lake and say that to my face!"

The forum got crazy and messed up. Some tried to report Zephyr, but all got the same answer from the supercomputer Uriel itself.

[Announcement: Player Zephyr did not use a bug and accomplished everything through skill and hard work.]

The players widened their eyes. They all believed Uriel as she is the one who controls the system in real time, making sure no bugs to occur.

They finally realized that Zephyr is indeed a pro player who can single-handedly kill bosses. Zephyr, on the other hand, didn't know the commotion he had caused and just looked at the loot he got.

Zephyr looked at the sword silently and compared it to the Frostlight Sword. A legendary piece of equipment that should not have appeared in the early stages of the game has appeared in his hands.

Other players should not be able to use it, but not Zephyr. He can use a sword without restrictions, which allows him to use the legendary sword even at a low level as he can ignore the restrictions.

Zephyr equipped the sword and looked at his status window.

The experience given by the boss was very high. His level, which got reset, returned to level 8 and rose to level 9, making him the highest leveled player again. As Tensura was still released today, players can not simply reach his level.

This is truly a miracle, a miracle only he can create. He deserved rewards as they were the fruit of his hard work and determination. Real miracles have been the combination of luck, hard work, and dedication.

Zephyr returned to the surface of the nearby lake after completing the hidden dungeon, which made him harvest many benefits. As he had played for 7 straight hours, Zephyr decided to log out, as he still had to go to school.

[You have logged out.]

Zephyr took a nap for a while, as he was mentally exhausted from taking the game seriously as he was normally lazy at anything waking up at 6:00 a.m.

Zephyr then went back to his boring lifestyle at school.
