System Alert:
? Zone Activated: Blighted Hollow (Lv30-50 Undead Spawn)
? Active Buff: Soulbond Symbiosis (+15% XP share to familiar)
"Time to earn your wings," I muttered, eyeing the shambling [Rotting Zombies]. Their putrid flesh sloughed off in rancid chunks, but their sluggish movements made them perfect target practice.
Fortune's vertical pupils dilated with predatory focus. A guttural rumble built in his throat before erupting as a Dragonfire Salvo—twenty molten projectiles streaking through the gloom like anti-aircraft tracers.
Combat Log (Abridged):
[16:34:12] [Fortune] casts [Incinerate] → 12x hits on [Rotting Zombie Lv30]
[16:34:15] Mob eliminated | +250 XP (Shared)
[16:34:17] Level Up! Fortune Lv1 → Lv5
The drake's form rippled, scales darkening to vantablack as his wingspan doubled. I barely dodged a wayward talon—his growth spurts were becoming hazardous.

"Easy there, killer!" I ducked beneath another flailing limb. "Save the enthusiasm for the mobs!"
By the time we reached the [Plaguebearer] variants (Lv40 | Poison Touch), Fortune had become a whirlwind of obsidian death. His Void Claw combo shredded undead flesh while my [Soulwarder Blooddrinker] mopped up stragglers.
Progression Update:
? Player Level: 29 → 36 (+7)
? Fortune Level: 1 → 36 (Evolution Threshold Reached)
? New Ability Unlocked: [Abyssal Barrage] (Conic AoE Darkfire)
The drake now loomed like a pickup truck made of nightmares, his wingbeats kicking up cyclones of bone dust. I checked his loyalty meter—98/100. No one would be stealing this living WMD anytime soon.
Strategic Analysis:
-
Fortune's Scaling: Exponential growth curve suggests drake may outpace player leveling
-
Threat Assessment: Visible power spike risks attracting PK guilds (Recommend: Equip [Veil of the Unseen])
-
Resource Drain: 11/110 [Necrosphere Tonics] remaining
As twilight deepened, the chasm's true rulers emerged—[Blighted Revenants] clad in corroded plate. Time to test our newfound strength.
Tactical Decision:
? Push deeper into [Necrotic Core] (Lv50-60 zone)
? Farm [Putrid Essence] for alchemical upgrades
? Avoid [Blightcaller Shamans] (Area denial casters)
Fortune's answering roar shook stalactites from the ceiling. The grind never slept—and neither would we.
