(Author’s Note: You know Richard since he is Solo’s old Guild friend. Here are the others and their ranks, along with Richard.

• Andy, D-Rank, Healer
• Gwendoline, D-Rank, Healer
• Harold, C-Rank, Tank
• Vivian, B-Rank, Mage
• Sam, C-Rank, Marksman
• Richard, A-Rank, Hammer Warrior)

Solo set up a camp with a large sun shade net and Richard and his guild mates were sitting around a fire. “The sun and moon raised by… what did you call them, Alicorns?” Said Richard as Solo was telling them.

“Yep, and the only vehicle that’s automatic is a Steam Train. No internet, no pollution made by the dominant species, no toxic waste, and vast amounts of resources.” Said Solo.

“Also… you’re… a…” Said Vivian.

“Pony.” He said “I would have been called a horse, but it’s mistaken for whorse. Understandable when you think about it, two words with different meanings, spelled differently, yet sound the same.” Explained Solo.

“Weird,” Said Richard as he noticed Azza was away from them. “And her? Isn’t she cold?” He asked, as Azza heard her.

“I’m an Ice Dragon. Not a brainless Fire Dragon. This is my natural element: low temperatures, ice, and snow.” She said as she snarled, “With a thirst for revenge.” She said as she ate the marrow. The Humans looked scared as Solo calmed them down.

“My sister got hit with an ice arrow by an Ice Elf.” Explained Solo as they gasped. “Azza is immune to their arrows but wants payback for the one who shot her. Azza wants to stab him in the heart.”

“Along with removing his fucking head.” She said as the group looked at him.

“Oh, boy… Uh… XXXX?” Asked Richard

“It’s no longer that anymore. It’s Solo Level.” He said as they raised their brows, “Yeah… some with normal names and some are 2 words that make a name. There are some with silly names.” He said.

“Along with magic hip tattoos.” Said Andy as Solo looked annoyed, “Sorry, but weird that even children get them.” He explained.

“Yeah, it appears by magic when someone discovers their special talent and the name of it is even more… girly.” Said Solo.

“Also, the ruler is over a thousand years old?” Vivian asked.

“And looks young as a 20ish woman. Apparently, Alicorns have a slow aging rate.” Answered Solo as some clutched their hand into a fist because of jealousy.

“Lucky her. Looking young and feeling young as well.” Said Gwendoline.

“Yeah well… It's not like has some things that annoyed her. There are freaking blow-up dolls of her and 1000 years without love doesn’t mean she has some things to destress her.” He said, as the girls were disgusted hearing that.

“That poor princess.” Said Richard.

“Yeah… but aside from Equestria, tell me Richard. How long have I… passed away?” He said as Richard looked at him.

“You’ve been dead for 5 years.” Said Richard which surprised Solo.

“5 YEARS?!” He yelled as he looked at them as they nodded “So… Time flows differently in our universes. 17 for me while 5 for you.” He wondered as he looked at Richard “Tell me… does the guild… miss me?” He asked as Richard placed his hand on Solo’s shoulder.

“Not one day has gone by since you made that sacrifice. That bitch was beyond sane when she escaped. I still wonder what made her that way?”

“Don’t know and don’t give a shit. I doubt she’s in my universe because they’re no news about corpses that were raped to death.” He said as looked at Richard.

“Also, what happens in the 5 years in your universe? I hope the guild is going strong.” He said as Richard looked down.

“Sorry but the Growing Path Guild isn’t going so well after your death. After your sacrifice, membership had dwindled. We couldn’t recruit some new members since our Rank-A Healer had passed. Though Healers are no longer rare anymore, people have been hearing false rumors that we caused the death of our healer.” Explained Richard as Solo narrowed his eyes.

“I’m betting I know who is spreading these rumors. They haven’t forgiven me for exposing some of their members as Lizards.” He said as Richard shut his eyes.

“I can’t blame you for thinking that, but we need evidence to prove that.” He said as Solo placed his hand on Richard’s shoulder.

“Also tell me something. What the hell are you doing in the Red Gate?” He said as Richard and the group looked a bit down.

“We were entering a B-Rank Dungeon with another group from our enemy guild.” He explained as Solo’s eyes grew veins with rage. “Yes, I know. The Rising Palace Guild is our guild’s mortal enemy but during the 5 years, 2 guilds had to enter any dungeons that are B-Rank and over to avoid casualties.” Explained Richard.

“We would have agreed with another guild, but those bastards are doing whatever they can do to sabotage us.” Said Andy.

“But since we’re a Red Dungeon, they can get away with murder, but they figured that the Ice Elves or other monsters in here will do the job quicker.” Said Vivian as they looked down.

“The other group is mostly of 20 Rank-Bs and one arrogant Rank-A member.” Said Andy.

“His name is Randall Steel, and he is a formidable, powerful Rank-A Tank. Like his power, you cannot let your guard down.” Said Richard as Azza watched the humans. They are formidable and strong but the other humans they talk about are more powerful due to their numbers. She heard that Healers are considered rare but no longer in their world but in Equestria it is rare for creatures to heal them with magic.

“It’s too bad that Solo can’t improve their Healing Magic. I mean if he was a powerful Healer when he was human, why not can’t he help them?” Question Azza as they wonder if he could do that.

“Hmmm… I guess I can do that. I mean, training others is what high ranks do for others.” He said as they smiled “Until they get greedy.” Solo added a harsh truth bomb.

“Sad but true.” Said Harold as they turned to Solo as he got the point.

“Alright but I don’t allow slackers.” He said as he got up. “Who are the healers in the group?” One of both genders stood up.

“This is Andy and Gwendoline. Both Rank-D Healers that take 2 hours to heal 3 people.” Sam explained as Solo looked at them.

“Now to be honest, mostly our ranks are earned by how powerful our mana within ourselves after awakening but given the universe I now live in, it can be increased through training.” He said as he grabbed their hands “I will now allow the flow of mana within you to increase your ranks.” He said as he shut his eyes as his horn glowed.

“Is that normal?” Asked Vivian.

“Yes. When unicorns used magic, their horns glowed. It’s like their mana is focusing through it like a staff.” Explained Azza as they watched Solo doing his job as both Andy & Gwendoline as they felt their mana within themselves grew as their eyes glowed.

“Whoa…” Said Everyone as Solo let go as both Andy and Gwendoline looked at their hands.

“I feel… stronger.” Said Gwendoline.

“Yeah… I think… we increase our rank.” Said Andy.

“Okay, try healing your comrades.” Said Solo as he turned to Azza “Sis, can you-”

“No problem.” She said as she punched Richard in the gut.

“(In Pain) Why?”

“Be grateful that it was a punch and not a stab.” She said as Andy went to Richard and used his healing powers on his gut punch, as Andy healed Richard in an instant. “Whoa… I guess Solo did it too well.” She said,

“Uh-oh. I guess I helped too much.” Said Solo as Andy and Gwendoline looked at each other and smiled.

“I think this is alright.” Said Gwendoline, as Solo looked confused.

“I have given us a Mana Boost from the Growing Path’s memorial, Magic Warrior.” Said Andy. “I call it a blessing to the guild.” He said as Solo smirked as he got up and walked out.

“Where are you going?” Asked Azza.

“Train.” He said as the group looked confused.

“In this weather?” Asked Richard.

“I need to gather more food for you.” He said as Solo marched away as Azza watched him walk away but before he left, he sent the Ice Bear shadow to his sister as a bodyguard.

“Trust him.” She said to the humans, “He hasn’t lost his way with a dagger.” She said as the group smiled about ~~XXXX~~.

20 Minutes Later
“95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100.” Said Solo as he dropped and looked at a screen.

*Quest Info*

WARNING: Failure to complete the daily quest will cause an appropriate penalty.

“That will do because I cannot be punished and get sent to the desert with the giant scorpions. Hmmm… perhaps I should one day go back there and create a shadow of one of them for a titanic battle?” He said as he imagines a Shadow Scorpion killing anything in its way. “Kind of overkill, but would be useful for a Red Gate or… anyone foolish enough to break into my house.” He said as he noticed a cave with slash marks. “Hmm… looks like I found the lair of the Ice Bears.” Said Solo as he smirked, “Time to lure in my prey.” He said as his horn glowed.

[Magic Beam]

Solo fired a beam of magic in the cave, hoping to either hit a wall or a bear as he waited.

*ROAR*

Solo smirked as he stood there. “They have caught my trap.” He said as a sleuth of gigantic bears came out of the cave, growling in anger as he noticed one had a scorch mark on its shoulder. “Got one.” He said as an Ice Bear, larger than the ones and has some large scars on its body, came out snarling at Solo Level. “The Alpha of the sleuth…” Said Solo as he smirked. “Perfect.” The bears snarled as they charged at Solo.

*ROAR*

“ARISE FROM DARKNESS.” Spoke Solo, as his shadow spread as his army came out as the shadows were welding with weapons. “Kill them.” He said as Shadow Archers fired arrows at the bears as they felt them piercing their thick hides, as the soldiers attacked the bears as the mages engulfed some bears in fire. Solo stood in place as the Alpha rammed through his soldiers and charged at him, but Solo uppercut the Alpha bear as it lost some teeth, though that punch as Tybalt came down and stabbed it in the back. Solo smirked.

[Title: Beast Slayer]

“Thank you [Beast Slayer] Title.” He said as Tybalt slashed its head off and raised it in the air. Solo rolled his eyes (“Why do some warriors do that?”) Thought Solo as he looked at the Ice Bear corpses as his eyes glowed. “ARISE FROM DEATH” Said Solo as the living shadow of the Ice Bear emerges from the corpse as more shadows emerge from the corpses.

Shadow Extraction is successful.

[Shadow Beast LV1]x6
Rank: Elite

“Sweet.” Said Solo as he looked at the former Alpha Bear. “You are different from the rest. From now on, you’ll be called Alpha.” Said Solo as he got a screen.

[Only Shadows that are ranked higher than Knight can be named.]

“Fuck.” Said Solo as he looked the biggest Shadow Ice Bear. “Name you when your rank is raised.” He said as he sent his shadow bears away and turned to his soldiers. “Harvest the corpses for their meat, pelts and bones.” He said as the soldiers pulled out their blades to start harvesting. Solo smirked but frowned as he looked at a distance “Where are those Ice bastards? If they’re not close to here…” His eyes widened as he looked back to where he left his friends and sister. “The camp!” He yelled as he took flight towards camp.

Meanwhile, located in a different area of the forest
“AAAAHHHHH!!!” Screamed a human man as he was being ripped in half by a large monster as a group of humans were being killed instantly by monsters. One human wearing large bulky armor and wielding a broken weapon stood there in shock and fear as he witnessed.

(“This can’t be right…”) Thought the man (“I, the great A-Rank Tank, Randall Steel have failed.”)

“Save… me…” Said a female human who was dying in the snow by blood loss.

(“This can’t be! I receive special training… I became an elite of the Rising Palace Guild… I am an elite… yet… I failed…”)“Food… If we only… had…” Thought and Said Randall as still stood there ignoring the monsters and the slaughter of his teammates. “Lack of food isn’t…isn’t my fault. No… This… is my responsibility because I’m… the leader… The leader… The leader… is…” Before he could get his thoughts together, an arrow made of ice went past him and hit his teammate between the eyes as she fell dead. Randall turned to see what he didn’t expect to see, Ice Elves.

“Help… me…” Said one of the remaining humans but an Ice Elf stabbed her in the head as they smirked at Randall who was frightened.

“NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!” He screamed as he ran away as one Ice Elf was riding a steed, smirked. Solo was flying as he sensed something coming to the camp and a lone being where was hurt and fleeing.

“Damn it… that stupid idiot.” Said Solo as he flew to the camp. Randall continued to run away but slowed down to warm up his hands as he was panting.

“If… it wasn’t for this… weather… No… if I wasn’t starving! I would never… have been defeated…” He said as he looked up to witness piles of dead Ice Bears. “What the fuck…” he said (“Did those loser guild members killed these bears? No…That’s impossible given their lower rank members.”) Thought Randall as he continued walking through the forest.

Back at camp
“He blew himself up?!” Laughed Azza as Richard told her about Solo’s past.

“Oh yeah! His hair was burned off and he was 60% bald for 3 months.” Said Richard “And he wore a wig to hide it.” As Azza and the rest of the humans laughed.

“I bet there were many death threats made by him.” Said Azza.

“Many.” Said Richard. “He threatens anyone who laughs at him or removes his wig, he’ll stab them in the ass.” Explained Richard as Azza laughed.

“Who was stupid enough to do that?” She said as Richard frowned. “Never mind.”

“Still have the scars because of him. Take my advice; never agree for him to buy you a drink because there is a price to pay and it’s not money.” He said as his guild members laughed as Azza was wearing her hooding and wearing the hood as they didn’t notice Randall appeared and saw what the other guild had.

(“Camping equipment, winter clothes, a tent, and food… These… fuckers HAD SUPPLIES ALONG?!”) He thought as he eyes’ twitched (“So that’s how they stayed alive… If my hands weren’t frozen… no… if I wasn’t starving… I could have killed them yetis and elves without any hassle! THESE FUCKING GUILD HID THEIR SUPPLIES FROM US!!!”) “YOU BASTARDS!!!” Screamed Randall as they turned to see Randall as Azza hid behind Richard.

“Who the fuck is that?” She asked as Richard whispered to her.

“That’s Randall Steel, an A-Rank Tank of our rival guild I told you about.” Explained Richard “The same A-Rank who wanted to split up.” He whispered.

“If I had to guess, he thought you might have been Ice Bear food.” She said Richard agreed with her on that fact.

“WHICH ONE OF YOUR FUCKERS HID THIS FROM US?!” Screamed Randall as Richard shields them.

“Hide what? Where are the rest of your members, Randall?” Asked Richard as Randall snarled.

“They’re dead… THEY’RE ALL DEAD BECAUSE WE DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH FOOD AND TOOLS!!! SO HOW THE FUCK YOU HAVE ALL THESE SUPPLIES!?!?!?” He screamed as Azza, who was hiding behind senses something coming but couldn’t see the enemy.

“Uh… well…” Stuttered Richard as he couldn’t answer that his old friend who has been reborn gave them the supplies.

“Fuck us…” She said quietly.

“WHY DON’T YOU ANSWER ME?! IS SOMEONE THREATENING YOU TO KEEP QUIET?!” Yelled Randall as he kicked the bear meat towards them. “I won’t regard any of you as accomplices. Tell me who and you all will be spared.” The group cowered a bit as they prepared to fight back. “WHO THE FUCK HOARDED THESE SUPPLIES AND PUT US IN DANGER!?”

“Oh boy…” Said Harold.

“I’ll count to 3. If you don’t tell me who then all of you are guilty!” He yelled as he began the count “One.” Randall grabbed the sword he had. “Two.” Randall narrows his eyes as he notices someone that he never had seen when they enter the dungeon. (“So… that’s their supplier! She’s dead! I accuse you!”) “THREE!!!” He screamed.

“Four,” Said Solo as he smacked Randall to the ground as he was sliding towards a tree.

“SOLO/BRO!” Yelled Azza and the humans.

“Stupid idiot… 5 years hasn’t changed the most pathetic excuse in my old world. Any top rank always blames others for their failure.” Solo said and snarled, “And you fucking moron, you lead them here!” He yelled as he turned to the trees away from the camp, “Come on out. I can sense you so disable the stealth.” He said as the group witnessed something becoming visible to witness an Ice Elf on a steed appeared as an army of elves appeared with him.

“Oh, fuck…” said everyone as Azza narrowed her eyes as she recognized a certain Ice elf. she snarled and dug underground as Richard freaked a bit.

“Holy… shit…” He said. “There must be at least thirty of them as Solo narrowed his eyes as he stared at the Elf on the steed.

“So… the rumors are true… there is something interesting in the trash.” He said, as Solo’s horn glowed ominously.

“Who the hell are you calling trash?” He said as the Elf looked surprised.

“!? The creature speaks our language?!” He said as Vivian looked shocked.

“You can understand them?” She asked Solo, as he looked at her.

“I guess. Since I’m not human anymore, I guess I can understand some languages of different races because of my new magic.” He said as the Ice Elf on the steed waved his hand to an Ice Elf who was smirking.

“We can communicate… good. There is someone I wish to introduce. I believe you met my top hunter.” He said as Solo noticed the Ice Elf that fired an arrow at Azza.

(“So that’s the asshole.”) Thought Solo.

“He wishes to challenge you to-”

*BURST*

Azza emerged from the ground and slashed the asshole elf that hit her with an ice arrow’s head off as she dived back underground as she went to Solo, her head popped up and smirked. “Make his corpse, my bitch.” She said as she sank back down. The Ice Elf leader looked at Solo who just laughed as the Top Hunter Elf’s head landed near Solo’s feet.

“Your top hunter? Tell me, where is he now? Oh wait, I know, hell.” He said as he kicked the head at the Ice Elf Leader, who dodge it as he snarled.

“I’ll fucking kill your pet,” He said as Solo pulled out his Nero’s Fang & Dark Assassin’s Dagger in both hands from his inventory.

“Try to get past me.” He said as The Ice Elf Leader got off his steed and stared at Solo.

“How about a deal? It will benefit us all.” Said the Leader as Solo narrowed his eyes.

(“Why do some always attempt to make deals?”)

“Let me ask you one thing? Why are you with humans, even though you’re not one of them?” He asked as Solo narrowed his eyes.

“Simple, I trust them more than you.” He said as the Leader laughed at him.

“We continuously hear a voice to kill all humans, but it stopped when you appeared in front of us.” He said as Solo raised his brow.

(“A voice? Is it like the system I must do? The only reason I hear it is because I’m a Player.”)

“We do not need to fight. I would prefer to avoid casualties on our side. Just kill the humans behind you.” He said as Solo widened his eyes in anger. “You’ll live and your pet will live, how does that sound?” He asked as Solo snarled.

“Who the fuck are you elves? Where are you from and why do you want to kill humans?” Asked Solo as The Ice Elf Leader laughed.

“That’s simple, we are-” Before he could say something, he glitched like he was a program in a computer as Solo looked surprised. “We do not need to fight. I would prefer to avoid casualties on our side. Just kill the humans behind you.” Solo looked confused.

(“Huh?”)

“You’ll live and your pet will live, how does that sound?” Repeated the Ice Elf Leader.

(“He just repeated what he just offered me? Wait… that glitch effect… could the system doesn’t want him to go… off his programing?”)

“Do we have a deal?” said the Leader as Solo spun his daggers.

“No fucking deal.” Said Solo as the other Ice Elves appear near their leader.

“You dare challenge a superior army? You are outnumbered and think you can handle us alone with your pet and weak humans?” He said as Solo’s eyes glowed.

“Alone? No…” His shadow spread beneath them as his army of Shadow Soldiers and Ice Bears emerged from his shadow. “It is you that are outnumbered.”

“Aaaahhhh!” yelled Richard’s comrades as Azza smirked.

“I am still impressed by his magic.” She said as some of Richard’s companions backed away as his shadows excused themselves.

“Solo… How did you obtain this kind of power?” he wondered as Solo looked at the elves.

“Attack.” He said as Solo’s Shadow Army charged at the Ice Elves as they clashed. Solo watched the battle as Azza, Richard and his party ran from the battle to avoid any attacks that Ice Elves might attack them. (“Despite my army having higher numbers, they’re both equally matched. My army will keep on healing but my MP…”)

MP: 4658/6099
MP: 4221/6099

(“It's draining a bit faster than I expected it would. Even Ice Bears the elves are stronger.”) Thought Solo as he looked at Randall and the headless corpse of the Ice Elf Azza killed. (“I need stronger shadow or shadows.”) Solo stepped on the sword as he kicked towards Randall as he charged at the Ice Elf Leader who pulled out daggers.

“I am Sintalor Glarefall. What is yours?” He asked as Solo didn’t want to give his name, but he’ll say it for Sintalor to remember it in his death.

“Solo Level.” He said as they clashed weapons. Solo and Sintalor were evenly matched as Sintalor knee kicked Solo in the stomach as he was pushed. “Asshole!” He yelled as Sintalor laughed.

“I never thought I would find a creature to be my-” He paused as he sensed heat as he looked up to witness a huge fireball coming towards him from above. Solo looked to his right to see 3 of his Shadow Mages unleashed that attack as Solo was close to the corpse of Sintalor’s top hunter. Randall, who was smacked behind the head, managed to gain his consciousness as he started to slowly pick himself up.

“That voice… it… couldn’t be him. ~~XXXX~~ has been dead for 5 years… but that voice…

“Four.” “Stupid idiot… 5 years hasn’t changed the most pathetic excuse in my old world. Any high rank always blames others for their failure.” “And you fucking moron, you lead them here!”

“But that was his voice…” He turned around to see a humanoid unicorn holding knives, it posed as an afterimage of ~~XXXX~~ appeared as Randall’s eyes widened in horror “The Magic Knight of that damn guild… ALIVE?!” He paused but realized that he’s not human, saw his sword and smirked. “I always hated that bastard… I’ll never forget that he kicked my ass 7 years ago… and for what? Gonna have sex with that woman? ‘I was going to rape her’ my ass.” He said as he grabbed the sword. Solo stood there watching the fire and rolled his eyes.

“Stop stalling and fight me you pansy ass snowflake.” Said Solo as Sintalor emerged from the fire with a sadistic smile.

“IT THAT ALL YOU GOT?!” He yelled as he charged as Solo stood there confident as Azza witnessed something heading behind him.

“BRO!”

“~~XXXX~~!!! DIE!!!” Screamed Randall as Sintalor smirked.

“That makes 2 of us who want you dead.” Solo looked behind.

“Oh… Randall Steel… I now remember you. I gave you an ass whooping for trying to rape that woman who refuse to be with you. You haven’t changed… at all.” Said Solo as he smirked which confused both Randall and Sintalor. Tybalt.” Said Solo as his shadow exploded in front of them as Tybalt stabbed Randall as Sintalor backed away.

“XXXX you bastard…” He said as he spat out blood “You… came back… to kill… me!” Solo looked at Randall with his eyes glowing “Damn… you… to… hell…” Solo turned to Sintalor as he laughed.

“You killed a human after you refused to give them to me?”

“This one has a personal grudge against me.”

“This changed NOTHING!!!” He yelled as Solo smirked.

“ARISE FROM DEATH.”

Said Solo as 2 large shadows burst from the human and elf corpses as they both screamed in anguish

“GAAAAAAAHHH!!!!” Both Shadows screamed as Solo looked at them; The Ice Elf Hunter that Azza killed, his hair was flowing like Celestia and bowed as the shadow of Randall Steel was huge, had full-bodied armor and his weapons were an ax and a large shield.

“He looks bigger than before.” Said Solo as he looked at the 2 shadows.

[Shadows that are ranked higher than Knight can earn names.]

“Randall Steel… your name will be Steel and you, elf, will be Hunt.

[Steel LV1]
Rank: Knight

[Hunt LV1]
Rank: Knight

Solo turned to Sintalor as he snarled at Solo, “How dare you turn my top hunter into your slave?!” Solo smirked.

“Don’t feel too bad. You’ll join him as well.” He said with a smirk as snapped his fingers.

“RAAAAAAAH!!!” Screamed Steel

Steel used [Skill: Epic Taunt]

The Master of the Dungeon has entered a state of aggro

Sintalor’s eyes turned from bright white to pure red as he laughed “I’ll kill you first!” He yelled as Sintalor charged as Steel and he parried each attack as Sintalor mocked Steel “These slow moves are pathetic.” Solo jumped in the battle, along with Tybalt and Hunt.

“That arrogance will cost you your life.” Azza watched as she turned to Richard.

“Do all of your humans fight almost like this?” she asked as Richard turned to her. “If it was like this, I'd have retired years ago, but XXXX is always a hell of a man.” He said as they watched the shadows were nearly killing all the Ice Elves. Sintalor avoided Tybalt’s blade as Hunt fired Ice arrows at his former leader as Solo came from behind and stabbed him with his Nero’s Fang as the debuffs affected Sintalor.

[Effect: Paralysis has activated]
[Effect: Poison has activated]
[Effect: Bleed has activated]

Sintalor kicked Solo as he was gasping for air. “You’re quite a persistent Unicorn.” He said.

Debuff has been canceled out by the opponent’s high resistance level.

“So, what if I am? Also, you better accept death because you have no more allies.” Said Solo as Sintalor looked to see his army was all dead as Solo smirked, “You were very prideful about them but now, their fate will be yours.”

“BASTARD!!!” He screamed as he leaped in the air “THE DEATH OF YOU IS YOUR ARMY’S DEATH!!!” He yelled as Solo threw his daggers at him “FOOL!!! THROWING YOUR WEA-“”

[Skill: King’s Hand LV1]

Skills’ [King’s Hand] increased the speed for his thrown daggers as they destroyed Sintalor’s daggers as Steel grabbed him as all the mages unleashed a group attack on them. Steel survived as Sintalor escaped Steel’s hold by killing him, as he was panting for air. “I WILL KILL YOU!!!” He screamed as he saw Solo stabbed him in the chest with both daggers.

“Can’t you see it’s over.” He said as Sintalor glared at Solo.

“DON’T YOU DARE SAY THAT!!! I’M-” Before he could finish Steel slammed his ax on Sintalor as he laid there, dead as his eyes showed no movement.

You have defeated the Master of the Dungeon

You have leveled up!

(“Only one? I guess I’m getting too strong.”) Thought Solo as Steel continued to slam his ax on Sintalor’s corpse as he looked annoyed. “CEASE AND DECEASED!!!” He yelled as Steel stopped “More brawn than brains… this one will cause me problems in the future.” He said as Tybalt sighed in annoyance as Hunt shook his head as Steel turned to the other shadow knights as they roared in victory. Azza, Richard, and the other humans came as they were shocked and amazed by Solo’s powers.

“How did you gain this… new powers?” Asked Richard as Solo smirked.

“I had to get a new job since I lost my old one. Apparently, my abilities as a human in killing monsters got me this new job. Beggars can’t be choosers.” He explained as Azza covered her nose.

“Well, now what? I mean, is that head honcho of an elf the boss of this dungeon?” She asked as a portal appeared.

“It’s the way out!” Said Sam as Azza noticed a portal behind them.

“And… another one?” She said as Solo examined each one.

“The one in front is to your world Richard and the other belongs to ours.” He said as Richard looked sad as he grabbed Solo’s shoulder.

“Please, come with us. I miss you brother, the boss misses you.” He said as he turned to Azza as she smirked.

“Well… today is still my birthday and time outside has slowed down… I don’t mind seeing a new world.” She said as Solo smirked.

“Just to let you know, you better be prepared to endure high heat.” He said as Azza frowned hearing that.

“Oh, fuck me.” She said as Solo looked at Sintalor’s corpse.

“Now, I need something from him and his fools.” Said Solo.

Solo Level’s Old World
Richard and his group were surrounded by people in black suits asking them questions as the group from the Rising Palace Guild were all dead. “I’m sorry but Randall did force us to split up and his group had fallen by a large group of Ice Elves.” He said as a huge American man with muscles was enraged hearing that.

“My guild lost our members because of your negligence!!!” He yelled as Richard looked scared since he’s in front of The Rising Palace Guild master.

“I’m sorry but he did suggest it since he overnumbered us.” Explained as The Guild Master threatened to punch him but was held back by some unknown force.

“Back off… Puny Dick.” Said the voice as Richard and the rest of his group went to a large van and entered it as the Guild Master looked around.

(“That voice… it couldn’t be him… He’s dead because of that psycho bitch.”) He thought as he looked around. (“Could his ghost… be haunting me… because I freed her?”) He gulped as he decided to leave his rival guild alone… for now as the van drove off. Inside the van, Solo and Azza appeared as Solo turned on the AC as Azza went to it.

“How hot is this damn world?!” She yelled as they laughed.

“This is my world. The air has pollution in it, temperatures are high in summer and low in winter as it's hell for everyone but humans managed to survive through it but hey, it's home.” Said Solo.

“I can see why you miss this world; a carriage that is moved without someone pulling it nor magic. Also, electricity instead of candles to burn the night life, interesting.” She said as they continued the drive as Solo looked out the window from a distance.

(“Fucking hell… That damn Sintalor was stubborn even after death! I couldn’t make him my shadow but at least 10 of his soldiers became mine, including Hunt. Randall Steel… never thought he became Rank A, but his arrogance became his downfall.”) Thought Solo as he watched outside as he smiled seeing his home again.

Time Skip, 8 hours in Equestria
Azza was in her room, writing in a journal. “Never thought this would be a birthday to remember. After we went to Solo’s old guild, nearly every human wanted to kill us until Richard told them that Solo was their deceased member. No one believed him until their guild master checked himself as Solo gave some quotes he did when he was human. Every human cried for him as I laughed at his humiliation. I was happy for my brother that he got to see his old family again and that memorial statue of his was a bit weird… for me I mean. He was once them with that flesh like a hairless animal or a dragon without scales but thank the Mother of the Ice Dragons that his wormhole magic brought us back to Equestria. Hell, it even links them so he can visit them anytime he wants but for only a month. I mean, even though my birthday wasn’t how I planned it, I enjoyed it. Also, Solo gave me two gifts that I’ll enjoy for life and his human family some Bits to improve their guild with new additions and weapons.”She wrote as she looked at the dagger she was holding.

[Item: Sintalor’s Dagger]
Item Class: A+
Type: Dagger
Attack+150 Speed+40

Sorry it took me a long time to upload some new chapters in my other stories but I've been busy with the curse that is life itself with all things that make me want to rip my head off; bills, budgets and worst of all, trying to save a certain amount of money to pay off a credit card bill.
