Versatile: Alternate World

Another change again. To see the Sandurk Expansion announced already, things are going too fast. But I am not surprised. With Tojiro, he might have done this to rush my growth. The faster I am going to develop, the easier for me to get stronger, foiling the future that is set to stone.

Since things are changing fast, I decided to read the info about the expansion. I already know the expansion pack's content and what is in store for the players but if things are getting faster than what was the intended time, it only meant for me to improvise my plan.

[The Sandurk Expansion pack will now unlock another continent to explore, dungeons to explore, monsters to slay, towns and cities to visit, and a new race to meet.

Plus, 4 new classes will be arriving soon. So if you want to change classes, this is your chance to consider these new classes! Aside from that, new players can choose two new races to choose aside from the usual human, and elf races. Old players who wanted to choose a new race will, of course, needed to pay. The details of these new classes and new races will be confidential until the release so please tune in!

Aside from that, we will be performing a raid party recruitment tomorrow. Only 15 players will be allowed selected till the end so fight for your rank!

For players below level 20, they will receive double Exp gain from killing mobs and performing quests! This service will stop once the player went past level 20. Also, the level cap of 100 will increase to level 150.

For all the participants who want to enter the raid, please gather into the [The Falls of the End]. A mission will be given to all participants and if you fail, you will lose the chance to win a spot. Please be aware that only 15 players are eligible and the players announced cannot be replaced by any means.

We will be releasing further patch notes once the system update is underway, so please stay tuned!]

...

Oh, nothing much changed except the number of players eligible to become one of the pioneers of the new dungeon. During the past timeline, the number was lesser with only 10 players. Looks like Tojiro decided to change the amount because from what I heard and see in videos of the players who were eligible for the exploration, the raid that occurred is just too much for 10 players.

As for the new classes, one of the new classes is the necromancer which I just obtained earlier. I won't speculate on the new classes that will be released but if I am correct, it would be the Saboteur, Cannoneer, and Chronomancer. These four classes would be the classes that have the highest chances of being released due to the nature of the Sandurk Continent. Though I am not sure since it might be different.

Seeing the new details on the patch, I returned to the game once more. Since the expansion is much earlier than expected, I have to make some changes to my plans.

The first step I needed to do is to farm some herbs and monster parts. Due to the videos that I have seen before on the raid that occurred on the Sandurk Continent, certain potions will be necessary. Not only that, I needed to secure a spot for the 15 required players. If I didn't manage to participate in this raid in my past timeline, then I have to participate in this timeline.

One of the ingredients needed for my potion making is a group dungeon. Different from the Lesser Purgatory dungeon that is a Normal Dungeon, a group dungeon is designed to meet up with other players. You cannot perform the dungeon if you are alone. The minimum amount of players needed to enter the dungeon is two while the maximum is ten which is why solo players like me will be forced to form a party if we wanted to enter.

The other difference of this dungeon is that it is an open dungeon. Unlike the Normal Dungeon where the path is predetermined, monsters were spawning in the exact amount with a boss at the very end, the Group Dungeon is considered as the tower dungeon where you can kill monsters on that floor before proceeding to the next floor. In Resurgia Continent, this is the Tower Dungeon, the Sandurk Continent also has one too.

You can also say that this place is considered as a tower to test your limits. This dungeon is infinite and every ten floors, a boss will spawn. Not only that, as you ascend or descend on this kind of dungeon, the monsters spawning will also be getting stronger.

My preparations are complete and without wasting my time, I head off to the group dungeon and hope to find a good party to join in.

...

Outside the Group dungeon is considered by many players as the lobby for finding players. Due to the nature of restricting players from entering the dungeon's entrance in solo, everyone has to find a party or a partner to get inside the dungeon.

...

"We need two Clerics! Any decent Cleric player will do! One Rare drop will be given out per player!"

"We need a paladin and another long-range DPS! Please apply if you are interested!"

"Recruiting some pretty girls who know how to play! Guys are not allowed to join so f*ck off!"

"Need party members! Any class will do!"

"Requesting support!"

...

The lobby is quite noisy. But I am quite sure someone will be recruiting me since the class I am portraying right now is the Paladin. Even if they try to check my profile secretly, it won't work so hiding my mastery in classes will allow me to get my job done without anyone exploiting my abilities.

"Hey! You are a Paladin right?"

It was a familiar voice that I can't forget in my past timeline started to speak behind me. We meet earlier during the Night Bazaar and the person I am trying to save in her future demise.

Dolly.

"Ah yes, I am a paladin, you can see in my equipment right?" I turned around and she was surprised.

"Oh! You are the one who helped me in the bazaar last time! I didn't think I will meet you here!"

"Ah, the girl who was trying to haggle to the vendor."

"Forget that one, hahaha. Anyway, we are looking for a tank in our party. Since you are a Paladin, will you be willing to join?"

"How many players are you in there?"

"6 players already. You will be the seventh and our final party member if you join. Are you interested?"
