Terra Nova Online: Rise of The Strongest Player

Chapter 148: The Boss Fan club

(The royal capital, after the second round)

After the second round qualifiers, Tor had a sit-down with Cervantez and Luke in one of the Royal Capital’s restaurants as the trio discussed the emergence of ‘TheBoss’.

“I’ve seen the videos on the global forum and I’ve never seen anything like him. A double front flip from a standing position? My spine would break before I could generate that kind of momentum. That guy is insane-” Luke said as he acknowledged The Boss as a worthy opponent.

“He said to me and I quote ‘Only a fool would show his true strength here, I’m only using 20 percent’….. 20 percent? THAT is 20 percent?” Tor said surprised as he still could not believe the words coming out of Leo’s mouth.

“A full score in punching test, full score in weapons proficiency, national records broken in all of the rest. He’s a cut above even us, no doubt-” Cervantez said in a serious tone as he stuck a fork into the food they ordered rather violently.

“Between leveling and picking up skills, just how much could he have trained? We know he has not enrolled in any of the royal institutions because he is contesting in the tournament from the open category.

So could it be that he focused all his time on enhancing his physical attributes while ignoring his skills?” Luke wondered, as Cervantez shook his head in dismay.

“No-, the global announcement said that he has mastered three legendary skills! Three fucking legendary skills… if anything, it might be his strongest suit, not the weakest” Cervantez replied as Luke was reminded of the global announcement that was made not too long ago.

“This makes no sense to me, how can one man be so powerful? We are all players here who have not wasted a single second ever since this game began, so why is he a cut above us?” Tor asked in dismay as he could not grasp how Leo could outshine them when all of them had worked equally as hard as him.

“To be fair, I think we can’t judge that man the same as other players. He has been different from the very first day.

I was a fool to stop my pursuit of him while I still could have recruited him-, I was convinced that he was a fraud, I was convinced that nobody could be as good as he showed he was, but I was wrong….that man….. he’s clearly the real deal” Cervantez murmured in regret as silence engulfed the table.

While Tor had no idea just how obsessed Cervantez was with recruiting The Boss, Luke knew how much it meant to him.

Since the very first day, it was one of his biggest goals alongside establishing DarkSky and now he regretted not having fulfilled it.

“Well, individual strength can only take you so far in this game. The tournament is long and I don’t think him winning is a guarantee yet.

But even if he does, so what? This game is more than just about one person and together we’re ten times stronger than him” Luke said, as he tried to break the depressing silence and motivate the group.

“You’re right! The tournament is indeed long and he is not guaranteed to win. I for one will love to smash his rude face in the dirt should I get the chance” Tor said as he absorbed some of Luke’s motivation and fired up.

“Yup, it doesn’t matter if he’s the real deal or not, from here on out we treat him as just another opponent.

DarkSky is going to win this grand tournament and we will run straight through him to get it if we have to-” Cervantez said, as he decided to move past his regret of misjudging The Boss and looking forward now.

“But, isn’t it weird that he uses a dagger while being a Berserker? Like who chooses such a combination?” Tor said scratching his brain as he still could not wrap his head around Leo’s choice of weapon.

“Maybe he learnt how to use multiple weapons, maybe he did it to throw us off? Who knows-” Luke said as he shrugged his shoulders and decided to not think much of it, while Cervantez made a mental note to remember it.

In his mind, Cervantez believed that ‘TheBoss’ had six skill slots.

Three of them were legendary skills, One was the Shield Breaking punch, while the other two were unknown.

If he could grasp what the others were, he could probably think of a way to counter those skills in combat when they eventually faced one another.

But for him to figure out the rest of The Boss’s moveset he needed to keep a close eye on his future matches, which was exactly what he intended to do.

**************

(Meanwhile The Uprising)

Cervantez wasn’t the only one keeping an eye on The Boss and his moves, as the uprising was doing the same but for entirely different reasons.

The few people from the crowd that shouted slogans like “Boss I love you-” or “The Boss I’m a big fan!”

Were mostly all from the uprising, as within that organization Leo was everyone’s role model.

“Did you see that? Did you all see The Boss showing levels in the second round? That’s why he’s the goat! The goat! Our representative is in the tournament!”

“Oh big boss is so cool! He’s so cool! Breaking the punching machine- kyaaa”

“We must propagate his great feats all over the global forum. How dare some fools accuse him of being a fraud? It’s time for us keyboard warrior’s to assemble and bash them all-”

“It’s official, us uprising members will form a support club and attend every match of his from here on out.

While he may be cold and aloof, everyone needs that crowd energy once in a while and if we don’t support one of our own, who will?”

Chats like these flooded the uprising internal group chat as it got converted from an illegal group of shady players to a temporary The Boss fanclub.
