Chapter 10: Legacy Obtained
It must have been five minutes before Leroy stood up once again. He noticed some undeads looking at the destroyed area from afar, not daring to get close.
Then, he looted Poltier's corpse.

He was about to check the items in his inventory, when the runes in his Half-Moon Set started shining brightly.
A shadow flew from his body and made a circle in the air, it was a raven that flew into the cathedral.
He inmediatly rushed through the few steps that remained in good conditions in the stairs, following the bird.
Inside the cathedral, no one could be seen, rows of decayed seats were left and right. In the center a stone tablet about three meters high stood, with a raven made of dark mana on top of it.
He walked and observed the stone tablet, it's runes and tried to send mana inside. Losing his patience, the bird made a screech sound and stared at him. "Fine, fine.." Leroy sighed and touched the stone tablet.
Cold to the touch, the tablet showed him an illusion. As the sorroundings of the cathedral disappeared, what appeared before him was a young man with a raven on his left shoulder. The earth beneath was grayish in colour and the sorroundings were veiled in black fog, the scene gave a desolate feeling.
"So long... you have come, inheritor" The young man spoke in a calm voice, his words felt like water flowing down a stream.
"Flay recognized something in you, and I trust my master's companion judgment, he has showed me what happened since your first meeting." Vlaric looked at Leroy in the eyes before continuing
"Be it your character or your talent, both of them are to my liking. Your talent, specially... you have improved greatly in every fight and that was shown just now... heh Poltier was never someone with good intentions, as most of those that followed me back then, they followed me just because of my power" he revealed a mocking laugh, but it wasn't clear if it was mocking others or himself.
"There is no need for further testing, you can receive my legacy... or reject that even. But beware that there are limitations that comes through it, you will never be capable of using a phyisical weapon again for example. So... what are you going to choose?" Vlaric stared at Leroy with interest... and hope.
"I don't know much about you or your legacy, it's been too long and the world has forgotten about you already..." Leroy didn't answer but tried to get more information from him.
"Really? Well it wouldn't be surprising for thousands of years to pass before someone meets Flay's standards" He gave a look at the raven that raised his head pridefully, earning a warm look from Vlaric.
"This remmant will not last long so I will keep it short. Accepting this legacy means accepting the power to be capable of controling dark creatures and mana to the highest degree. But it also means that you will not be capable of using a physical weapon, as I've said, instead your weapon will be a soul orb that raises your powers, you will need to nurture it inside of your soul. You will also receive less benefits from light based spells." Vlaric explained.
Leroy felt a strange energy trying to enter his body as a windows appeared.
System: A legacy is trying to descend on you, will you accept it?
Rewards: New Class, Soul Orb Weapon
"Accept" He unhesistantly accepted, altough he could not use a physical weapon, it wasn't as if he wouldn't have one to boost his stats, as for having less benefits from light spells? It was a small price to pay compared to the rewards.

A string of notifications sounded as he received various skills.
"These are the only skills I'll share with you, different from others, you can't obtain legacy's skills. Now then... this is the weapon, gifted to me by my master. Once you receive it, you will replace that staff forever" Vlaric said as a white and dark ball of light came from his chest and moved into Leroy's.
Acquired: Soul Orb Weapon
"I can only hope for you to reach that realm, the one I was denied entrance to" Vlaric's figured turned into smoke followed by the raven.
The sorroundings returned to normal, he was inside the cathedral once again but there, the stone tablet turned into fragments while a silver scroll stood there.
Leroy picked up the scroll.
Acquired: Sage Town Teleport Scroll
He could barely hold it anymore and loged out from the game.
Altough his body possessed great strenght, playing for about two real life days and the extensive fight against Poltier where his concentration was pushed, put a heavy burden on his body.
He dragged his body to the bedroom picked up some sleeping clothes and went to the bathroom and took a shower while reflecting on what has transpired. His previous host never played any game like this one, be its size, monsters AI, the amount of players it could hold, the large variety or the intellegence of the NPCs.
He made a leap to his king-sized bed and inmediatly fell to sleep.
He woke up exactly eight hours after, after picking himself up he changed cloths, and as he was about to leave, he noticed that the S-Rank Fluid Bottles in his gaming cabin were mostly used up, according to the information he received, it should have lasted much longer, but probably because of using his movement and detecting technique it was almost empty much faster.
He gave a call to service room so they would come and clean the room. The previous Leroy was not very fond on doing daily shores, and honestly, he wasn't either.
Since he possesed this body, he would try to follow it's personality as best as he could first.
At the restaurant on the second floor, many guests wearing expensive cloths and jewelry were eating breakfast as Leroy went directly to the kitchen while saluting the staff on his way.
In the kitchen, he met Alexander, he was the Kitchen Chief in the morning and has been working in the hotel for two years already. He didn't seem someone easy to get close to, as he only cared for cooking.
"Good morning Alex, I came looking for something to eat before training" Leroy
"Good morning, Leroy, you could've just called and we would send you something to your room, what would you like to have for breaksfast today?" Alexander replied while still giving orders to the staff.
"Nah, it is alright, I'm free anyway so there is no need to bother the staff here, I see you already have your hands full" Leroy comented while looking at the chefs and servers moving everywhere. "Just serve me anything simple I don't want to take much of you guy's time"
Hearing his words, Alexander revealed a strange smile and inmediatly started giving orders to the kitchen staff. "You heard him, serve him something and continue working".
Leroy walked out of the kitchen to an area of the restaurant that hosted VIP guests and sat at an empty table, a server gave him a jar of cold orange juice while he waited.
"Leroy, you've come out" a women in her thirties wearing glasses and formal cloths approached him, it was Felicity, his uncle's secretary.
"Miss Felicity, nice to see you, please take a seat if you have time" he said with a smile "Would you like some orange juice?"
"No thanks, I just had coffe, I came to tell you that your uncle has been wanting to talk with you, he should be free by now so I should call him over" Felicity said and left to the kitchen as quickly as she approached.
Leroy wasn't surprised by this, though, everyone here were hard working people, they didn't have much free time in working hours.
Less than ten minutes later, his uncle came to the table he was just in time as two servers arrived with their breakfast.
"Lad, you are finally out" Uncle said while taking a seat in front of his nephew. "So, what about the game? I told you it would be different right?" He asked with an expression that said he already knew the answer.
"Well the game its definetly not simple, it has so many things, it'll definetly be worth investing on it" Leroy reported simply which made the old man nod with a satisfied smile. On this age, most companies and bussiness invested in VR games as to increase their PR.
"That is good, the information that the company gave us wouldn't be wrong anyway, how was the world inside? This old man still haven't had time to play it yet" His uncle had an annoyed expression, he too loved to play games in his free time, and losing the chance to start at the same time that everyone, as one would expectb put him in a bad mood.
"I haven't done much, but monsters and npcs are much more intelligent than in other games, at least the ones I fought. I spent most of my gaming time finishing a quest that gave me a hidden class" He explained while taking another bite at his food.
His uncle couldn't hide his envious expression, this brat! not only could he play the game already but he even got a hidden class already, and here I am.
"Even that old man Ford and his sons will join soon, your uncle Louis and your cousin Elise will be there too" The more he spoke the more annoyed he seemed.
"That is fine, I'll get free and start playing as soon as I can. I'll be calling some of our friends and guards to join too. Where have you started?"
"That is good, the sooner the better, I'm at Star-Moon Kingdom, a town close to White River City" Leroy replied, from the time he had possesed this body, he really didn't like how Old Pat did things, but he would follow along as the previous one owed him a favor.
"You didn't start at an Empire? Hmm well, I'll tell them to start there so we form the guild, but at least move to the capital of the kingdom" Old Pat was slightly curious as to why he didn't choose an Empire to start.
"Alright, I'll go there once I finish some things and you guys reach some higher levels" Leroy replied with a smile.
These old man would always seek profits inside virtual games, since he owed Old Pat a favor, he would help him establish himself in God's Domain, at the same time that he established his own team.
Regarding his Uncle Pat, he was a master martial artist almost at the Domain level, at this age where human lifespan easily extended over a hundred years, he wasn't too old. He spent decades of experience managing the family hotels in the region, someone like him was a must have for guilds in a game like God's Domain. Usually, Felicity would join too, she was also very proficient with martial arts and being the secretary of Pat for the last decade, her managing skills were above average too.
His cousin, Elise, was a beautiful and succesfull woman in her late twenties, she was the founder of a very popular cosmetics brand, while her father, uncle Louis was a retired director of an Intelligence Agency.
As for Ford... he was an old man, Leroy's and his family had a connection several decades. His family came from a military background that extended from more than a hundred years ago. His impecable military carrier was continued by his three sons which also were condecorated soldiers, even in these peacefull times.
They would usually create a guild for different reasons, while they would use this opportunity to increase their business reputation, be it hotels, cosmetic, electronics, food & drinks companies, all togheter they had money invested in various business.
Being members of the upper echelon of society, they had access to efficient body training techniques and resources like S-Rank Nutrient Fluids or family martial techniques, almost everyone could be a renowed expert. Being the ones tasked to be security guards of so many campanies and their family, the guards were also very high trained personel, even amongst the youngest ones, there was Refinement Realm masters.
Thinking about it, he said to his uncle "In the game, martial arts are actually very effective it also seems that ones body improves while inside there too".
After a short conversation both of them finished their meal and left.
On the fourth floor of the Hotel, a spacious gym with high tech equipment was there, with various instructors supervising the guests and hotel staff's training. Leroy simply said hi and went directly to his training after a short warm up. He drawed a circle on the floor, and stepping on the circle's line, he walked around it while facing the inner circle, sometimes he would give the inner region his back and turn around, always walking in the same direction.
After thirty minutes he changed directions and did the same.
Leroy knew many techniques, but without muscle memory, they would be never archieve much. Then he took a dummy and practiced attack and evasion, only the instructors have reached his level of fitness and even they were surprised to see his progress this time.
After a short shower he once again logged into God's Domain.
He appeared inside the cathedral, it was time to check his gains.
