I Screwed Up, But Oh Well [Event/Solo]

[Verin]

 The bell struck six and the doors opened, letting a miasma of purple smoke come out buffeting what was happening this eve. Halloween night was here and to celebrate the night a new dungeon had appeared with the new Avon expansion and it wouldn't open at the time, all that was given a notice on the investigating players’ interfaces saying to come back on Halloween night at six, for that was when the dungeon opened and the Mansion of the Purple Mirror could be explored. With this notice, the game was kind enough to give us the info on the monsters that inhabited the lobby. This is what lead Verin here, of course the information was spread throughout Londinium and Verin had heard during the spreading of the information. Normally Verin would've wanted to form a party, but for some reason he wanted to tackle this alone, thus he was alone this time.

 Walking through the entrance a notice popped up on his display, a general notice saying you’ve entered a dungeon and that you should be careful, etcetera. Verin read over just to make sure there was nothing he could’ve missed, but there was nothing so he just closed it out. After doing this he noticed that he was immediately greeted by small floating jack-o-lanterns that were obviously very curious beings. Verin petted one of them and then started walking towards the other end of the lobby. When he got there though he was greeted by a pop up that said that the passage to continue and that you needed to find it by looking over the lobby.

 “I see, puzzle puzzles puzzles, well if I need to find something these little guys could either be a nuisance or just blanks as long as I leave them be.”

 Verin first decided to survey the local mob, so he sat down against the nearest pillar and then a hollow voiced echoed throughout the lobby which gave Verin the chills.

 “Greetings Adventurer, I am here to tell you that you must face the trials of the mansion and there is no leaving until you die or you succeed in finding out the secrets of the purple mirror. I wish a pleasant death Adventurer and may you enjoy the trials.”

Once the voice had ended and Verin wasn't shivering anymore Verin got up.

“Well damn this is not going to be fun at all is it. Huh,” Verin noticed that there was another notice, so he tapped it and then he knew was screwed then.

“No frickin way, no frickin way at all. What do you mean I can’t get my experince until after the event ends, damn it I so screwed over now!”

Verin was so upset that he was now yelling, not giving a care about anything except on how much he messed up, this got him an unexpected fireball to the face which after taking this in made Verin look at the culprit Mini-Jack with a look of severe anger. Next thing he knew, he was getting attacked by multiple Mini-Jacks.

“Oh now it’s on you little monsters,” with this Verin drew his sword and came down upon the mob of monsters with a flaming sword and let a purplish blue bolt of lightning come from his hand on his body that didn't hurt himself. Serpent Bolt, one of Verin’s signature skills that he used most of the time. It was a lightning based skill that didn't hurt the target it was, but instead jolted out about every three seconds and stunned those that are hit by the bolt. The flaming sword part though was because of his favorite skill, Inferno Strike. Inferno Strike was a basic fire based enchantment that left a burn status, the skill lasted for five minutes and was very useful.

After fighting for some time Verin noticed something off, they were dying to fast, even if they were from level one to level 5 they were dying to fast. I was then that he noticed he had buff other than Serpent Bolt and Inferno Strike.

“Huh why is Transmutation on right now?” It was then that he remembered his first fight with slimes a few months ago when the Apocalypse had just happened. He remembered that the slimes were easy to kill because Transmutation gave a ten percent damage bonus against artificial life.

“Ha ha ha ha, I can't believe it, you guys are artificial life. Well I guess I'll be killing you all now.”

With this time passed and all of the Mini-Jacks were slaughtered and Verin’s health and mana were really low, so he took one of the Medical Formulas which he was given by Icyferno and also a Lesser Mana Potion that he had bought from Capsule, who was now missing. Now his health and mana were back to a good position, so Verin decided to finally to get to looking for the passage to the continue on.

 As Verin searched he noticed that the lobby was rather nice looking for a place that should be full with infestation of plants. Well he shouldn't be surprised about it, Windsor Greatwood Castle was the same also. It had been almost barren with no vegetation same as this mansion minus the creepy purple fog that was shin high. For some time he kept on drawing the short straw, but after about thirty minutes he found the first clue, then the second, then he drew the short straw again. It was six fifty five when Verin found the last clue he needed and then he found the trigger and the entrance to the first hall opened, the fog grew denser and Verin walked into the first hall. “Well let us just hope it doesn't get much harder than the lobby for now. I'm not fond dying even if it’s against something or someone that I would consider an equal. Wait a minute why am I saying us when I'm alone, I really am insane.”
