Kaito's POV
Time sure flies. We've managed to get to floor 52 whatever the change they made to their strategy must be working. I'm currently on floor 35. I decided to take some time away from the front lines. I'm sure they'll be fine without me by the time I decide to go back; they may be on floor 58 or even higher. Plus I have been waiting for a perfect time to continue this special quest and be the first to clear it too. I open the quest to see the map from before and it leads me to the caves of black just beyond the forest. Ohh and I managed to get myself a decent sword although I'm only borrowing it til I can get my own. I head into the cave but that's as far as the map lead guess I have to find the boss on my own.

Odin's POV
THIS IS SO BORING. The new rules say each guld has to take a day off so our forces won't be too tired by the time we find the boss. I guess it's well and fine that way most the guilds levels are even at least. I have no problem with it till it's our turn to rest. All the members are either out partying at our progress of becoming the 2nd best guild or trying to enhance their gear for battle. I on the other hand have to do consent banking and updates on our guild status. Maybe Kaito had the right idea in going solo; this is way too much work for a game. As I was doing my daily report Axel walks in and brings me the newest news paper. I never have time to get it myself so I'm glad he doesn't mind grabbing two.
Axel: Captain here's the latest news. I think you'll like it.
Me: The only news I wanna see is that we finally beat the game or the bath houses are no.......
Axel gives me a death glare just daring me to finish my sentence
Me: uhhh the bath houses are now 10% more secure than before yeah... that's what I meant
Axel: you become more and more revolting every day don't you
Me: I'm not that bad at least I'm not out every night like I used to
Axel: The only reason for that is because I hand them install no windows in this room and there's a guard outside to make sure you don't leave without me knowing first.
Me: what are you Axel my second in command or my mother wait scratch that you're even worse than her.
Axel: I never asked how old are you exactly
Me: ohh me I'll be 14 in 2 weeks
Axel face looks surprised more than I've ever seen him
Me: are you that shocked I'd think you could guess I was a teenager
Axel: 14 is still young I mean i'm 20 so you can see why I'm surprised
I start reading the paper while still talking to him
Me: well in a virtual world your age doesn't really matter the only thing that matters is if you are strong or not and in a game anyone can be strong.
Axel: I guess that's true and your age now explains your behavior
Me: Well that's quite the stereotype Axel I don't appreciate it
Axel: you do have a point
Me: on a side note you got a sister
Upon hearing my question he chops me on the top of my head and It really does hurt but I deserve it I guess.
Axel: YOU TRULY ARE A CHILD!!!
Me: I couldn't help it sorry.....
I see in the news an interesting article that really catches my eye.
