Arzania
A game so impossibly hard and absurd that it was never been beaten by anyone around the world since the release of the game 12 years ago. It was a game where you can choose countless character to play starting from a son of the reign emperor to a common beggar on the street.
No matter what character you choose it all lead to one goal, stop the world from being destroyed by a cosmic entity called The Great Old Ones. It was your average cliché games
The lore of the game itself was simple, choose your character, enter a magic academy, do quest, fight monster, do more quest, choose your heroine, do more and more quest and then fight the final boss. But the boss was so absurdly overpowered for no reason it was almost impossible to be defeated.
[Magic Immunity 98%]
[Attack Boost Increased By 200%]
[Speed Increased By 150%]
It was a few of the many buff given to the final boss of the game. Not to mention that the boss has a ability to cancel the player casting spell at a random moment, so to create a solid strategy is just impossible
However, I am Matthew and I have no life at all. For 12 years since the first release I kept on playing the game, trying every solution possible from multiple character to cheating. For a game that is very old, it has such a complicated system to penetrate. No cheat was available for the game
The game has a very nice 3D graphics with around 172+ hours of gameplay. That hours of gameplay was only the time to reach the final boss and doesn't even count for the final gameplay of the game since it was a game that never has been beaten by anyone. It was a game truly advance for its time.
Anyway as a no life 26 years old guy living in a rental apartment with a part time job at a grocery store. I have a ambition and that is...
To beat this game
*****
"FINALLY!"
I scream as loud as I can and raise my fist into the air
"After 2 Month, I finally... I FINALLY finished the game... Holy shit I don't even know that it is possible to do this"
Yeah I finished the game, 2 month with 15 hours a day of playtime to grind all the quest, subquest and search for all the secret. I finally did it. It was such a stupid amount of play time and nevertheless somehow worth it
I played as a character called Vaughn, he is one of the character that was called talentless with no talent for magic whatsoever by the game community because of the character unable to learn any magic related skills, it is undoubtedly the most useless character in the game that was based on magic. However, it comes with it own benefits
Sixth Sense and Dash
Sixth Sense like how it sound was the extended sense for the normal five sense. It was a passive skills and can detect the flow of mana and able to predict incoming attack from the enemy. So everytime the sixth sense activated, the enemies movement become slow and the game shows you a quick prompt to dodge or counter the enemy attack.
Dash was essentially a normal active skill that you can get from a subquest, it give you a skill to dash forward, sideways or backwards instantly with a range limited to 1-10 meters and a 1 minute cooldown. But the character Vaughn completely ignores the cooldown and even have more range to dash up to 20 meters. So in a way to summarize it, you can instantly dash everywhere almost like teleport. Stupidly broken skill from my opinion
With this exception, I grind the Character not with the usual Mage to Archmage way but to a squire to a knight if that class even exist since my class in the game is called Talentless Mage.
Vaughn was a mage with elemental magic of water but since he has no talent with magic, he was unable to learn magic-type skill. However, he already has one skill for magic which is Water Control which is a E Class skill with 10 second cooldown. It was useless skill because it is a skill that only able to manipulate small amount of water or generate some
So with that it mind, I grind him to be a knight. There are some subquest and main quest rewards that give skills and some of it give a skills that related to physical damage or non magic related. For a game that was created for mage and magic there are also other type of weapon such as sword, spear, axe and bow which you can envelop with magic. In my case I use sword
Afterall I did my research and found out that The Great Old Ones has no buff related to physical attack. With that I was able to defeat it after grinding for 2 month and fight it for 3 hours nonstop
I stare at the computer screen infront of me, my ass was hurt from the long hours of sitting. Energy drink cans was scattered around me and my eyebag was obvious
"I really did it huh... I should probably screenshot this and send it to the community hub."
The community of the game would go crazy if they know I beat the game and with the trashiest character at that
Then I keep on staring at the computer screen showing the ending cutscene of the game... It was a refreshing feeling
"Never thought it was possible but here I am"
Then I let out a exaggerated sigh
"But damn my life is still miserables as it was even after doing all this"
I zone out while looking at my computer screen. Well the exciting part end fast once I'm back to reality. Then a prompt shows on my computer screen
[Congratulations for completing the game!]
[You successfully saved the world from the brink of destructions!]
'Well at least I was still able to brag about able to finished the game online' I thought to myself
Then I take my phone from the edge of the table and quickly take a picture of the screen when a new sentences comes on the screen
[A new DLC will be released. Would you like to save the world once more?]
[YES]
[NO]
"DLC? Right after I finished the game? Did they already planned this and just wait for someone to finished the game? Hah..."
Without a second thought I take my mouse and drag my cursor towards [YES]
[Thank You. Dear Savior once again please save the world]
"Huh? Thats it?"
As I was about to ask why there is nothing else, my head feels dizzy and my eyes was slowly closing by itself. Not long after, the world around me goes dark
*****
[Welcome]
I opened my eyelids to see a wooden wall infront of me. I was panicking and my breath was not steady. I look around to see I was sitting in a room full of dust and cobweb all around
I reorganize my thought and try my best to calm myself, I move my fingers around and it has no problem
I quickly standup and go the mirror that was hanging on the wooden wall near me. There I see it, I was not myself. Black hair, brown eyes, a face that can be called handsome with a small knife scar in the throat. I was Vaughn, the character I played in a game called Arzania
"What the.... Is this... A Dream?"
