Fate Online: Shadow

"Ohh, alright"

[If you’re able to do this, then I wouldn’t mind giving you a thousand gold coins]

"..."

"Oh my god, seriously!?" Tina jumped in excitement when she heard what Michael had just said.

[Yes, I’m sending it to you after I found a village or town here, so make sure you’re near the Courier Station]

"I will! Trust me, I’ll do this very seriously!"

[Good, later then!]

"Yes!" Tina raised her hands in the air, as she knew just how much a thousand gold coins is worth if exchange for real money.

"What happened Tina?" Emma asked when she figured out that Tina is done.

Tina turned her head towards the confused Emma, then at Casey, and lastly Harrison.

She gave them mysterious smile and said, "It’s about to go down"

"Huh???"

The three people just looked at each other as they can’t understand what Tina is talking about.

Western Continent.

’Good thing, I hadn’t sold my horse yet’ Michael thought as he patted its neck, and rode on his back.

A few minutes later, Michael could finally see that end of the forest where he’s currently at.

"Hyaa!"

Clop! Clop! Clop!

The horse galloped along the road, and when Michael finally got out of the forest, what greeted him was a sight to behold.

"A city! Alright!" Michael said in joy, when he saw the magnificent city within his sight along with the setting sun on its background as it cast a huge shadow before the city.

Michael was of course happy, as the Courier Station in a city would be far more faster in sending items than a village.

A courier station inside a village has a buffering time of half an hour, a town for twenty minutes and a city within a span of only five minutes...

And no...

If a user sends an item through the mail to another user, then it would be sent like an electronic email, but if a user sends an item to an NPC, then the item would be sent physically, it means it would take days or even months before the package arrives to the recipient.

His horse immediately galloped towards the city, and realized that it was because there was a city nearby that he didn’t meet any powerful monsters while he was inside the forest earlier.

You have arrived at the City of Cowan.

It was already night when Michael arrived at the city.

Michael can’t really properly describe the appearance of the city. The city has the ambience of a metropolis city in the real world like Tokyo or New York, but the buildings are all made of a combination of either bricks or stones and wood.

And the streets are full of pedestrians, and the most amazing thing is that Michael can’t even see a single stall on the side of the streets, unlike the places he had visited so far.

"*whistle!*, the capital city of this dukedom is really superb huh" a person suddenly appeared beside Michael and said.

Michael turned towards the person, and when he saw who it was, he was so startled that he took two steps back. Michael narrowed his eyes and said, "The heck are you doing here? No, should I say how the heck did you appear all the way out here...Viper?"

The Viper

Level: 27

"How did I appear here?Ha, ha...kuhahaha!" Viper suddenly started laughing like a maniac which really irked Michael for someone reason that he couldn’t help but punch Viper in the face with an emotionless look on his face.

Bam!

"Ahh! Goddamn you, bastard!" Viper held his face in pain, he really can’t help but cry out in...anger, and also sent a punch towards Michael, but the latter just slap Viper’s attack.

Bam!

But then Viper quickly spun to his left that Michael can’t help but quickly block it by raising his left arm to the side of his head.

"Grr...how the heck did you even recognize me, you damn snake" Michae’s eyes are literally shooting fires right now.

"Hehehe, because I have special eyes. Well, not really, maybe because you just mentioned my name, dumba**. I didn’t even know it was you in the first place" Viper chuckled coldly as he took down his foot.

The onlookers around them was watching them in shock as they didn’t expect that someone would actually fight just beside the gate guards.

"Stop right there!" one of the guards yelled when he saw that Michael and Viper was about to make a run for it.

"Run!" Viper quickly bolted out of there, while Michael quickly followed behind him.

"Catch those troublemakers!"

"Yes sir!"

Five guards quickly started chasing behind Viper and Micheal.

"Goddammit, why are we running away from them?" Michael shouted at Viper who’s running beside him, as the two of them agilely darted between the crowd of people along the street.

"Because the guards on this side of the gate are homos.e.x.u.a.l, especially their captain!" Viper replied, as his body shivered remembering that specific event that he had witnessed one time.

"Huh!? Can you stop messing with me?"

"It’s true, I saw how their captain was having s.e.x with another man!"

Viper and Michael quickly entered an alleyway, with the guards following behind them.

And there was suddenly a wall in front of them that’s blocking their way, and when the guards saw that the two people will finally be caught because they can’t run away anymore because they had already reached a dead end. They felt a bit excited and relieved at the same time.

"You can’t get away this time, you two troublemakers!"

But Michael and Viper didn’t stop, and both of them jumped to the wall building on the alleyway, and then jumped to the other side of the alleyway and successfully jumped over the wall after that and arriving at the other side of it.

"This...how the heck did they do that!? That’s at least a five meter tall wall! Are they ninjas or something!?" one of the guards said, as he punched the wall in anger.

Michael took off his cloak, as he and Viper arrived before a crowded street.

"Now tell me, how the hell are you all the way out here when you should still be at Sharval Kingdom?" Michael turned towards Viper and asked, as the two of them mingled through crowded streets of Cowan City.

Viper just smiled and started telling Michael the story on how did he get end up here at the far edges of the Western Continent.

"All of us were inside a new dungeon that we discovered recently, and when were exploring it..."
