Fallen Fate Online

Chapter 143 Disaster

?

While the news was hastily published about the mighty blow in the Lax River Region and some players were already rushing to the ruins, Zayne was making his way down the altar with measured steps.

He was weak, not a drop of blood seemed to be left in his body as his face was pale, but his deep gaze showed that he was more than alive.

Step. Step. Step.

Zayne stepped onto the icy surface, about to ascend the altar, as red flames suddenly appeared in front of him. Before Zayne would have been frightened, but now he was calm, he was experienced enough to understand Chaos' intentions.

Two hands slowly emerged from the crimson fire, however, they did not plan to harm Zayne, they came with gifts.

Scarlet palms, bursting into flames, folded together, and an amber coin with the mark of an eye with a vertical pupil appeared. It was obvious to anyone what it was.

"What...?" Zayne muttered in disbelief, staring at the coin with a puzzled expression, "Chaos rewards me... but... is that supposed to be...?"

Zayne was in no condition to speculate at length on the reasons for Chaos' actions, but one thing was clear to him - it was gratitude for defeating Selania.

"So defeating Selania is worth more than even killing one of the Apostles...? Who was she before all this happened...?" Zayne pondered, trying to solve the mystery of Selania's identity, then he picked up the coin.

Whooooooooosh.

A flash of flame left his palm burned as the scarlet hands vanished along with the chaos energy.

[You got one Chaos Coin!]

[Chaos has turned its attention to you! Keep destroying the followers of Fate if you want to get Chaos Power one day!]

Zayne frowned, the fight with Selania and her memories made him slightly doubt Fate's intentions, but he certainly wasn't going to serve Chaos.

"Well, one way or another, I can use it later. If I got the coin, that means only I get to decide what to activate it for." Zayne moved the coin into the ring and headed forward.

The orb opened up, spreading along and clearing a path for Zayne to the ring. He hesitated, but without delay, he touched the ring and the next moment his eyes flashed a blue light.

[You are faced with a momentous choice, your destiny literally depends on your decision. It will be extremely difficult to walk away from this path if you choose to do so.]

[Will you become one of the members of the Shattered Moon Order and gain the unique power hidden within this altar?]

Zayne sighed slightly, nodded, and placed the ring on his finger. All of the energy in the sphere went to the ring, then passed through Zayne, filling his entire body with a power never before seen, something that was beyond his comprehension.

[You received the Class - Moon Inquisitor!]

[You have become a member of the Shattered Moon Order!]

[You received a unique quest, the Moon Knight Encounter!]

[Moon Knight Encounter!

Using the clues from your ring, find one of the hidden bases of the Shattered Moon Order, or, wait until the right people find you.]

"Agh... So it turns out there are quite a few people like that besides me?" Zayne muttered with a slightly puzzled expression as many messages appeared before him.

[Moon Inquisitor (Common, Progressive)

You have restored justice by destroying one whose heart was corrupted by the power received from Fate. It has shown you that the world is complex, and it has also shown the world the path you have chosen.

Follow the moon, which is the only source of light that can sometimes override even the great sun.

-Gained Passive Skill - "Talent of the Moon."

[Talent of the Moon (Passive)

Your mind is stronger than an ordinary man, and your fighting skills surpass even those of those who trained for years, so it was natural that you became one of them.

All your weapons, no matter what they are, even if bare-handed, are now 10% more powerful, your speed is increased by 10%, your armor and regeneration as well as your mind power is increased by 10%]

-Gained Active Skill - "Symphony of the Moon, First Dance."

[Symphony of the Moon, First Dance (Active)

Fill your body with the moon energy and allow your senses to lead you into a magnificent and destructive dance of death.]

"Agh..." Zayne took a deep breath, while dozens of messages flashed before his eyes. The information was too much for him to absorb at once.

[You got a Class! Your limits have been removed! Now you can level up again!]

[Ding!]

[Your total strength considering all stats, effects, and Titles is too great to stay at level 10!]

"What...? Am I getting extra experience now?" Zayne suggested.

[Your level has been increased!]

[Your level has been increased!]

[Your level has been...!]

The messages continued to appear until they stopped at the number 57. That was the level Zayne was now at. He also received three Status Points for each level, just like all Players.

"Hah, is that even fair? Although, for some reason, I think that's more of a minus for me than a plus, because it's better to have a low level and a big power than a big level and a big power, right?" Zayne pondered with a complicated expression.

After a while, he shook his head, "Whatever, I won't change it anymore anyway, I have to move on and get out of here."

Zayne turned around, but he couldn't even take a few steps as he dropped to one knee while everything in front of his eyes went dark. All Zayne saw was his shining sword, which he thrust into a black spot on the ground, the only trace of Selania left.

[You have defeated Selania, one of...!]

Multiple messages began to appear in front of Zayne, however, he could no longer see anything as his mind plunged into darkness until he passed out, collapsing on the cold stone platform.

After a while, as the clouds parted, revealing the full light of the moon, the ground of the ruins shook, then the same thing began to happen throughout the Lax River Region.

Every Player saw the same message.

[Massive announcement!]

[Those who have been unjustly sacrificed in the name of Fate have awakened from their slumber and desire their revenge.

Protect the innocent inhabitants of towns and villages to be rewarded by Fate!]
