"ITS A..GRASSMANTIS!"
The wild grassmantis roars but cannot be heard because of the strong winds.
"Maxwell! This thing is huge! It's almost the size of my whole bottom body!" Iria was surprised and took photos of the creature.
"Well then, let's grind it." Maxwell drew his dagger, Iria loaded her bow with arrows.
"En Garde!" Maxwell tried to slash the creature but it was fast and dodged the attack. "You're such a terrible melee user. Let me handle this."
Iria positioned the bow and aimed. "Die you mantis." The arrow was fired, it hit the grassmantis' eyes.
"Watch out! That thing sure is angry!" The grassmantis let out a huge roar, the pebbles on the stone path nearly collapsed. "My turn now, Iria."
"MAXWELL WATCH OUT FOR THE SPIKY LEGS!"
The grassmantis hit Maxwell in the torso, followed by bleeding. "Fuck! That thing can hit." "You okay Maxwell?" "Yeah I'm fine."
"Look at that creature, one last hit and those XP balls are ours!" Maxwell pointed to the creature's body.
"I'll attack then." Maxwell got to his fighting stance, and quickly tricked the creature into getting hit by the dagger, but then the dagger became invisible. "What the hell?" The dagger got twice as big as its size.
"No wonder this is called the Blink Dagger." Maxwell sliced the creature in half. Tons of XP balls came out of its body.
"Good job us." Iria took half of the XP Balls. "What? No fair! I got the last hit!" "It doesn't mean that if you get the last hit then its yours. You take half."

Evening
Steadfast Village
7:01 PM
"Whew time for dinner. We sure did a lot of grinding, Iria how many XP balls you got?"
"I got..umm...let me see.." Iria unzipped her bag and violently shook out the pockets. "Ok I got about 144. How about you?"
"I got 145."
"What the hell Maxwell! You got one more than me?"
Maxwell chuckled. "HAHAHAH! This is just how things work out here."
That night, the sky turned to crimson red, the color of blood. The sky clouds formed to position the word: B-E-T-A.
"What the hell is happening?" Maxwell drew his Blink Dagger. People started to go crazy, some even started firing cannon balls into the sky.
The scent of carnivorous flesh started to roam. People started going crazy. But then something from the sky spoke.
"The curse! It is indeed time! Redeemer, redeem the souls of those who are aged 65 and above."
Blood rose to the sky, lifeless bodies of old people began to rise.
"You may wonder what is the curse?"
An evil gloom of darkness appeared from the ground. It was the God of Gods, Beta.
"WHO ARE YOU? HOW DARE YOU FUCKING STEAL PEOPLE'S LIVES!" "Maxwell! Calm down!"
"Huh. Who am I. I am it."
Maxwell tried to slice the dark gloom's body, but it went through and the blade faded.
"My dagger!"
"So, what the curse is you may ask? Well, your age is gonna remain FOREVER!"
