Chapter 1: Victory of the Haven Empire
1) Victory of the Haven Empire
[TL] I’ve change the name of the warrior completing his master quest from Paiton to Python. I did this because I think he is the warrior that Weed meet early in volume 1 or 2. I will go back and change it in previous chapters later.
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Weed looked at the endless sandy desert.
His clothing had completely changed to that of a perfect desert warrior. A turban was wrapped around his head and his body was covered with luxurious fabric.
His features had changed and he looked much older than before. The wrinkles around his eyes had deepened and his hair fell out until he was bald. He was the classic example of a freeloader!
He was doing this quest as Nodulle and subsequently aged 20 years.
“This is definitely different from reality.”
Weed muttered as the hot winds from the desert hit his bald head. It would be a shock to return to his original appearance after the quest was finished. Weed still hadn’t reached his prime age.
“Well, it doesn’t really matter because it’s not real. Actually, I think I’ve gracefully age when looking at myself. In particular, my scarred eyes and ripped mouth is hard to see in reality.”
On the surface he didn’t care about his appearance but he wore a golden mask with the face of a pharaoh on it. It was a 2,000 year old treasure with a level restriction of 700.
This was Nodulle’s body so he started from the beginning. However, he grew rapidly and obtained a lot after dominating the desert.
“This is much better.”
Weed wore ordinary white t-shirts and jeans compared to celebrities or models. However, the desert style clothing fit quite well with him. As the quest progressed, his smile became more rotten as more residents joined him.
“Great Emperor-nim, we have arrived.”
The sand around Weed blew as 1,000 warriors gathered around him. They were heroes and representatives of different desert tribes. Weed spoke in a low, solemn voice.
“Has everything been prepared?”
“It has finished.”
“Now is the time to destroy the last hurdle. I’m going to ask, who are we?”
The loyal sculptural lifeform Warrior-1 answered.
“Villains of the desert.”
“What?”
The answer was completely contrary to what Weed expected!
Warrior-3 was honest.
“We are desert robbers.”
Sometimes they even committed wrong doings. Time was running out so he didn’t bother hiding anything. Once they accidentally encountered NPC adventurers from the Central Continent and the result ended cruelly.
“Huhuhu, good.”
Weed’s eyes shone as he saw the equipment and map belonging to the adventurers.
And after a few minutes, the adventurers were robbed and stuck in the desert in their underwear. The desert tribes were poor but they were experts in combat and massacres.
Warrior-6 spoke some clear words.
“The desert is a harsh life involving sand and hot water so a ruler like Master is needed. He is someone who kindles the desert, His Majesty King Weed. Hooray, hooray, hooray!”
“Well, remember this well.”
“It is amazing that we can wear the colours of His Majesty.”
“Good. Let’s go!”
Weed’s cloak floated behind him as he rode Bactrian Camel over a pile of sand. They were heading towards the mysterious city Metapeia!
Once the sun had risen to its highest point, a huge city appeared in the desert like it was a mirage. Weed and the Red Knife desert warriors ran towards the mysterious city on their camels.
Nodulle’s quest required him to grow for 22 years! 100 days occurred in 1 day so time passed fairly quickly. There was little time remaining so Weed was approaching the end of the quest.
After 21 years passed in the desert, his level had now reached 783. Whether the final secret sculpting technique quest succeeded or failed, everything he gained would completely vanish. It was like winning the lottery only to be given an honour as the prize instead.
“I would rather get the money.”
Weed discovered all the important or hidden dungeons and hunting grounds in the desert and cleared them with the Red Knife warriors.
They went around the area close to the southern desert and defeated all the difficult dungeons. Therefore, they were now heading towards the mysterious city Metapeia in order to conquer it.
“I’ve returned.”
He had attacked the monsters in the mysterious city Metapeia several times when he was around level 400.
Kuwooooh!
The monsters ran away or lay down on the ground pretending to be dead. The monsters fell down under the weight of Weed’s charisma! When he first came here, there were monsters with razor sharp teeth and a nasty smell called the Laukao.
“Hey, are you dead?”
…….
“I’m going to peel your leather.”
Kuing king king king!
Weed was over level 700 so even ferocious monsters quivered in front of him. It was like they were standing in front of a bank robber asking to be robbed! He needed to hunt properly but there wasn’t much time remaining in the quest. He came to Metapeia to clear the dungeon presen
