Vikram ran, and multiple Neu's, Zombie's, and Mage's followed him with untold malice. He muttered and chanted. He raised his hand, and the air in front of him stirred. Spark lighted up, and the harmless spark flew and hit the body of a Neu that was in front of him.
The moment the spark hit the body of the Neu, it lit up and the body lit up in a massive roar of fire, and lit up everything that was near the Neu.
He looked at the Neu that were on the roofs, so he ran and again chanted something mysteriously. He finished his chanting, and a golden sphere enchased him. The neu's jumped and gnawed at the golden wall, but it remained the same.
Vikram was surrounded from all directions, so he knew that he had to do something. Vikram clasped his hand and chanted a more profound verse.
Even a mortal who could hear the chanting could feel their mind blurring and bending. Vikram's face was of absolute concentration, but his face was also of pain. Blood slowly leaked down from his nose, but that didn't deter him.
The chanting ceased. Vikram's voice fell silent, leaving behind an almost unnatural stillness. Then, all at once, the air crackled with energy as sparks ignited around the sphere he held in his hands.
The sphere pulsed, its surface glowing brighter and brighter until it erupted into a roaring inferno. Flames burst forth, wild and consuming, spreading in all directions. The ground scorched, the air thickened with heat, and everything near the sphere was swallowed by fire.
The only time the golden sphere flickered was when the threshold of the sphere exceeded, but he just had to concentrate on the Mana where the Spell Matrix had damaged.
He looked around him, and all he saw was charred ground and bodies. Vikram breathed a sigh as it had taken him another week to max out the [Mage] Class.
He brought up his panel.

He was having fun with this class. In reality, Vikram was having fun with each three classes. [Barbarian], [Knight], and [Mage] were each distinct from each other, and that made them all the more interesting.
But he knew that this was not it. He really felt that he was missing something. That there was something in this game that he was missing. Vikram backed out of the game and was in the black space of statues. He intently looked at the blank space in between, in the back, and to the sides.
He shook his head.
He had just completed the tutorial, and he had not even completed the use of a key. Vikram remembered that there was a huge metal door that blocked his progress forward when he entered the game for the first time.
Vikram also saw that in different classes, he gained different contents of Letters.
In the [Knight] Class, he had this Letter.
[Father is getting more and more... unlike Father.
He is getting more and more violent. And I don't know how he would react to the news of me being pregnant.
I don't want any harm to my baby...
Akk has said that he had enough money to ask for marriage, and I am too excited to imagine us getting married.
I really want this week to be over with.]
And in the [Mage] Class, he got this.
[Everything is red.
Elsa's heart is red.
My friend's blood...
This was such a bad choice...
I can't even look at my daughter... What have I done, my love?]
Vikram shook his head, piecing together the information he had gotten from the letter.
The first letter was probably from the guy who liked Elsa. The letter that came from the [Knight] Class was probably from the woman Elsa, and the final letter that came from the [Mage] Class was probably from the Village Head.
Vikram shook his head, and went about his business.
Vikram chose the [Barbarian] Class and spawned in the Outer Village. He had changed his respawn point because he couldn't upgrade his stats. So, he saved the game after he killed all the Outer and Inner Village critters, and saved the game at the statue.
He retraced his steps and took the alternate path which led to the huge metal door. He stood in front of a huge door. He summoned his circular key, and he placed the key on the circular indentation on the door.
It fitted perfectly, and the circular key triggered a mechanism that stirred and opened the door.
The door slowly opened, and he entered the small expanse.
