VRMMO: World's First Glyphborne

"Great... Yeah... Golden Princes. This has just gone from bad to worse. Why did it have to be them?"

Revenant muttered, running his bony fingers through his chalk white hair.

Valerie immediately frowned, whipping her head towards him in confusion. What was his problem?

Golden Princes was one of the most well known guilds and E-sports teams in the world. They weren’t just well known, but well loved. Perhaps he was just annoyed that a guild would steal his kill away from him, or more likely her kill away from him.

"Hey Listen. I know Percy, personally. He’s a friend and he’s here to help. If you really need the dragon corpse for whatever comes next, then I can talk to him about it. So you don’t need to worry about him taking the kill.

He’s with us, and he’s a really good guy." Belladonna said in an attempt to reassure him. She even smiled, which surprised her considering who she was talking to but she just couldn’t help herself.

However, despite the fluttery feelings inside of her, Revenant spat out laughter at her kind reassurance.

"Good guy?! You must really not know him well, but that’s a good thing. If you think you can be friends with the ’Prince of Stars’ then you have a big surprise coming soon. But don’t blame me when you get a knife in your back.

Now can we just get on with this already? I can’t stand looking at his face for longer than I need to."

Belladonna’s eyebrows knitted closer together as she stared at Revenant with a strange look in her eyes. The hatred plastered across his twisted expression was obvious, and she could not help but notice the overwhelming aura of disgust that poured off of him as he glared directly at Percy.

It was the exact same look that she gave Revenant himself.

She just couldn’t imagine what Percy could have ever done to earn such vitriol. Every possible scenario she imagined, and trust me they were plentiful as her imagination ran wild, just didn’t sound like Percy in the slightest.

Putting it to the back of her mind, where it gladly began to slowly gnaw at her from the darkness, Belladonna pulled out her Scrying skull and activated it. Letting the skull float alongside her.

She did not need to worry about breaking it, as they were surrounded by some kind of shield that protected them - and only them as people had found out when trying to use them as shields - as well as the fact that they were the only thing that actually carried over to their new body upon death.

That way if you died and lost all your things, you still had friends you could talk to about your new poverty.

"Hey.... Hey! Corpse face!" Belladonna shouted, snapping her fingers at Revenant to pull his attention away from his strange fixation with Percy.

"If you have any more important information to share with us, do it through this." She said, pointing towards the floating skull.

He glanced at it before looking back at her with those hateful, evil green eyes and smirked that lecherous, disgusting smirk again.

"Well, for that to happen one thing needs to change first."

[Player Revenant has sent you a Friend Request. Do you accept?

Y/N]

-----------------

It was a rather simple notification that appeared Belladonna’s eyes, but it had a certain weight to it that was only amplified by the irritating smirk this man was giving her. With a heavy heart and reluctant hands, she tapped the yes button.

She glanced at her rather small friends list, consisting really of only six people, with him being the sixth. Sitting at the bottom like some kind of wart growing on your butt. Disgusting.

Trying not to think about it too much, Belladonna quickly set up a group chat with all of her friends, leaving Percy till last. Before she added him, she made sure to send a quick message in the chat as a sort of warning.

{Belladonna - Alright everyone, I’m about to add another member. Someone you know him, some of you don’t. So I want everyone to play nice, okay?}

{Belladonna has added Prince of Stars to the chat}

{Belladonna - Everyone, meet our final member.}

{Prince of Stars - Well now, This is unexpected. Hello all, Happy to be dragon slaying with you all. Shall we get to it?}

{Vestra - No way... It can’t be. Bell, you cannot seriously know the real Prince of Stars!}

{Vestra - Oh my god... It really is him, I can see his guild is here! No way! No freaking way! I’m such a huge fan!}

{Belladonna - Vez... Dragon now, Fangirl later.}

{Vestra - Oh right... Sorry. It’s just... Oh my god!}

{Saige - ...Perseus. Nice to see you again.}

{Prince of Stars - Ah, Nice to see you too Argonaut.}

{Belladonna - Boys, I hate to interrupt such a truly emotional and tear jerking reunion between you both, but we need to concentrate. And that goes for the both of you. Now focus.}

{Prince of Stars - Oops, You got it Boss! o7}

{Saige - Yeah! Let’s do this! ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ}

{Belladonna - Corpse Face. Give them a run down of the important info.}

{Revenant - ... }

{Revenant - Fine. First things first, It has true sight. Any visual illusions will be useless. This isn’t as true at higher levels, but for now its just a universal rule. Illusions based on feeling, however, are still fair game. I’m hoping the illusionist is at least competent enough to do that, otherwise what is the point of you?

Not just that. But it can cast its own magic. Don’t think that just because you are out of range that it is safe. I can’t say for certain what it will do, because they craft their own spells on the fly. It is the natural ways of the Dragons.

There is a point on the back of its head, just where the skull meets the neck, that is its weak spot. It will be hard to see, and it is still armoured. But it is easier to hit and do actual damage. Of course it knows that, so it will defend it even more.

Try not to be stupid enough to let yourselves get killed trying to hit it. Any questions?}

{Multiple members - ... }

{Vestra - Bell, I really don’t like this guy.}

{PleaseJustFiggingGrow - I agree, he’s an ass.}

{Revenant - You know I can still read all of this, right?}

{Belladonna - Oh we know, and they are right. But unfortunately guys, we need to listen to what he says. No matter how much of an insufferable dick he is.}

{Revenant - ... }
