Athanor Online: Monarch of War

Diaz Thought

In simple food stalls, or hostels call it a warteg. Diaz sat down to enjoy a cup of black coffee with Javanese music while waiting for the food to be prepared by "Mba-mba warteg".

"It's Diaz." He said bringing home-cooked dishes that were seen as quite simple, but very good to eat, "Thank you." Diaz

Diaz ate the home-cooked dish. Every time he ate it, made Diaz remember his real home not far from Jakarta. If Diaz riding his sport bike, it takes about 6-12 hours to reach his hometown.

But he chose not to think about more than that. He knew his parents must not be too happy to see his son come home. Diaz could imagine the cold gaze of her parents that had been quite haunting Diaz while asleep.

"Darkin, huh?."

Diaz was still thinking about her conversation with Reno. There is no information about Darkin in Antharis Online, nor is the power named Aspect. Bright also did not offend Darkin or Aspect at all.

Making Diaz a little confused about the origin of both Darkin and Aspect. Diaz sighed, it was enough that he focused on Athanor Online, for now how he could enjoy life in the real world. He has a little money, just how Diaz can use the money to refresh for a moment.

Diaz is quite tired of Athanor Online, especially Errol is the most insane creature he has ever fought. Thinking of her beautiful movements still in Diaz's head. Remembering it is enough to give Diaz the creeps.

"If you want to have fun then there must be friends, but." Diaz said with his breath tired.

He only realized that he had no friends in his place. Diaz is too focused on finding work until she forgets to hang out with the closest people, at least her boarding friends. Diaz regretted it.

Diaz opened his phone and immediately checked the Athanor Online forum, to just see if his merchandise was selling or not.

"It looks like the equipment in Black Lair is quite in demand, am I there again to look for new equipment?."

Speaking of equipment, Diaz was quite sad when she realized that her twin daggers had to be smashed to pieces by Errol's black sword. Even the durability of the Berus is also very drained out, because it must clash sharpness with the black sword. I don't know what makes the sword strong, but Diaz wants to have it.

Diaz was amazed by Errol's black sword. Its sharpness is able to make its twin daggers destroyed, as well as the durability of Berus drained out, even though Berus is an extraction from Elemental Cerberus which is an Abyss creature.

But yes, Darkin or Rodant is indeed the main attraction.

"All I remember is, I Log Out when I managed to pull that Darkin weapon. After that, what happened?."

Diaz massaged his head, trying to process what happened. At that moment, Diaz's mind flew in various directions. Spread randomly to an unspoiled place. In a lack of information, Diaz's mind sank until she realized something. A question he never even thought of.

"Wait, Errol once said, 'I still believe in light. It's just not on those who claim to take him'. Light...?, Bright?-" Diaz muttered along with the information slowly, until he realized. "That's it, Archon." Say

Diaz smiled slightly, realizing something she had not known all along.

"Volkath was a traitorous disciple of Bright, but why did Volkath betray?. Then why does Errol hate Archon so much?. And why did Errol kill Thorder?."

Diaz's mind sank into a deep trough of thought. Wild speculations were coming from various directions, starting to enter and digest one by one the information Diaz received. 'All races are Villains', Reno's words still loom in Diaz's mind, until one wild conclusion says.

"Or not, the Archons are hypocrites?."

Diaz thinks not without reason. The archon or god is the supreme essence of the race that existed in Athanor. And the higher the level or degree of a person, the lower the person will be staring at something below him.

Bright is a figure of wisdom, love, and far from the word despicable. But why did Volkath betray him?, the reason is still not clearly thought Diaz. But, wait. If Bright was killed when Volkath killed him in his first invasion. So after that war, who led the Archon Faction?.

Was 'The New Leader of Archon', a wise, loving and far from a despicable word like Bright. Or even a greedy, petty figure like a Devil?. Diaz tries to recall, the game Antharis Online ever had in his mind.

Diaz, then Zephys, lived as a droplet from Bright. A mission to reconcile the world. The Zephys lived at a time when Noctrune began the second invasion. More precisely when Volkath managed to get out of Darcy's vacuum dimension.

"Queen Ilumia?."

One name, one information and one speculation occurred. Diaz gave a small smile, he returned to fill the plot that was still not fully filled. He can still be wrong about his thinking, but with this he can go further. Darkin, Aspect, Noctrune, and Archon must have some connection to each other.

For now Diaz does not know, but for sure this will be very interesting. If Archon is a hypocrite, then Diaz thinks. Is Noctrune an ordinary group of demons who want to rule the world?. Or even a faction that is disappointed by the rules and fed up with the authority of the Archons who have been living?. If yes then...

"Who is the real enemy of Athanor Online?."

Diaz laughs off to attract the attention of some warteg visitors. There is nothing more exciting than this, the story progression from Athanor Online is beyond reason. Diaz could not imagine that the Gods or Archons were hypocritical, and the ruthless Noctrune creatures were revolutionary. There is nothing more funny and ironic than this.

Diaz stopped laughing and turned her eyes flat. His mind drowned again. Back a question was asked.

"Nakroth, which side were you on?."

Errol hated Archon, which meant Nakroth was not on Archon's wings of light. Meanwhile, Nakroth has a fragment of the Dark Andura Stone which is the key to the Dark Lord Volkath's ultimate power, meaning Nakroth is also not allied with Noctrune.

There was no further information, making him unable to speculate any more than this. Not the Citra Organization as the developer of this game, but the player who wrote the story in this game. That is why there is a selection of fractions when creating characters. Diaz is aware of this.

If at any time there is a war between factions as well as when the Antharis Online still exists. Then it is not impossible if, players between factions will be hostile to each other. Just imagining it makes Diaz smile in irony.

"Bright.. Really, this is too confusing."

Diaz sighed. He went back to eating that home-cooked dish he had previously forgotten because it fell into deep thought. He devoured slowly until he was gone without rest. After his energy was replenished, Diaz stood up and paid for his meal.

As he was leaving, something caught his attention.

"You hear me?, if Melody doesn't sing anymore."

"Not singing anymore, she's resting."

"Well, isn't it the same?."

"Of course it's different, you idiot!."

Listening to one of the customers, Diaz gave a small smile. Right, why he forgot. In this city, only Melody was the only person who could be considered a friend. Diaz wants to have fun, regardless of the busyness at Athanor Online. Diaz opened her phone and immediately chose the contact number.

"H-hello." He was awkward on his phone. Diaz chuckled slightly, realizing Melody was still awkward with him.

"Hi, you wanna go for a walk?."
