MMORPG: Genesis

The reason Alexia chose Philip, who lacked any ambitions for the throne, was so she would not have to worry about him stabbing her in the back in the future to gain power.
In-fact the only thing he ever stabbed was women's vagina with his ridiculously small penis.
When she became empress, her mother advised her to quickly find a useless man and marry him to avoid being forced into an unfavorable political marriage.
This she did and also quickly made sure to get pregnant to avoid any chance of Philip changing his mind and trying to claim the throne, even if she did not get any enjoyment out of the act.
The problem was that her eldest son Thomas Bristle, even with her trying her best, turned out too much like her useless husband and also likes to stick his cock in any hole that leaks.
After this she decided not to have any more children with her husband since he was crap at sex anyway, unfortunately alcohol is not your friend and after one particular lavish party celebrating Thomas birthday Alexia had sex with her husband again and from that union came Adria.
Even though Adria was not planned Alexia did not get an abortion and decided to have the baby.
What she did do however was make sure that her useless husband and son had no involvement in the raising of Adria.
Because of this Adria turned out to be a fine young woman much like her mother with many suitors constantly trying to win her hand in marriage.
Much like her mother before her, Alexia advised Adria not to marry anyone with designs on gaining more power, even though Adria would not inherit the throne, powerful families both in the human race and other races wanted their sons to marry Adria because she had her mother's ear.
Tanelia smiled but did not answer and instead asked.
"So, Alexia, to what do I owe this call?"
Alexia frowned at Tanelia before sighing and replied.
"I wish to ask for the elves' aid in re-capturing Stone-mist Castle in the coming siege war."
There was silence for a moment before Tanielia replied.
"And what do we get out of helping the human race in this?"

Knock knock
The sound of John's door being knocked on was heard as he was once again making himself breakfast in the kitchen.
After his meeting with the council of seven yesterday finished and he played with Ursel for a while he decided he needed to get some rest, so he logged off and took a quick shower before going to sleep.
It was now the next day and John was making breakfast when someone knocked on his door.
As he went to open it, he found Alea waiting outside with an excited smile on her face.
"Morning, want some breakfast?" John asked while inviting her in.
"Please." Alea said as she followed John to the kitchen before grabbing a stool to sit on and speaking again.
"Did you see the world announcement?"
"About getting a class that was until now thought to be race specific? I did."
"This is big news, why are you not more excited?"
"Because all my excitement was used up after getting my class."
Alea looked at John surprised before saying.
"You're already out of the starter village? I thought you were on that quest for the mayor."
"I was and right now I am in the Emerald Enclave."
"Your where?" Alea's eyes widened as she spoke.
"The Emerald Enclave." John repeated.
"You can't be their John, that's a Druid exclusive area that only elves can access, to get there you would have to..."
John watched as Alea's beautiful face morphed from confusion to realization and then disbelief before she found her voice again.
"It was you?"
"So, it seems."
"You managed to become a Druid?"
"I did."
"A human Druid?"
"Well, I am still human."
"How?"
And so, John explained what happened and how he became the first human Druid as he continued to make them breakfast.
"You're already able to Wild Morph into a bear?" Alea said, surprised.
"Is that surprising?" John asked while dishing out the food.
"There are many elf players who are Druids but have still not formed a bond with an animal after several months." Alea explained.
"Why is that?"
"A beast of the wild can only form a bond with one Druid at a time so they are picky about who they choose since they see it as a great honor."
"I see, oh actually I have never asked, what class are you?"
Alea Smiled before saying.
"Cleric."
"So, a healer class?" John confirmed.
"For the most part yes, though we do off-course have some attacking spells and clerics are strong against the undead."
"A Powerful cleric can even turn the undead to their side temporarily."
"I see." John replied before remembering he had something he wanted to ask.
"What's the deal with super critical hits?"
"Oh, so you already found out about them?"
"Yeah, I figured out one way but my most recent one does not make any sense." John replied before continuing.
"The first few super critical hits I managed against a group of bullies, I pinned them down and attacked their throats causing the super critical." John explained and as he did Alea's beautiful face went red and her breathing sped up, John could clearly see her ample breasts rising and falling.
"Are you ok?" John asked with concern.
"Oh yes, sorry I just felt slightly hot for a moment there." Alea replied slightly breathlessly, fanning herself.
"Oh, ok." John said before continuing.
"As for the other time, it was against Vulred right at the end when he was channeling his big attack.
Alea took a moment to calm herself before she asked.
"Was the boss in rage mode at the time he was channeling?"
"Yeah, that's right." John confirmed and nodded.
"That's why then, so far players have found only two ways to land a super critical." Alea said before she continued explaining.
"The first is to incapacitate your opponent and strike their weak spot, the critical then becomes a super critical."
"The second way is exclusive to boss's and can only happen when they enter rage mode, most of the time after entering they will charge a big attack, if you hit a weak spot during that time, it becomes super critical."
"It's like that so players have a chance to finish the boss off, because if the boss launches their charged attack it normally means the players are dead since they normally attack with AOE spells."
"AOE?" John asked, confused.
"Oh, it means Area of Effect, it means it hits multiple targets not just a single one."
"Also, you have to remember that the higher ranked the boss the earlier it goes into rage mode, higher level bosses need teams of players to save and time their big hitting spells or abilities for when a boss enters rage mode, or they won't kill it and they will wipe."
"I guess I got lucky then." John said with a sigh.
"You got lucky with the battle situation in that the boss could not leave the magic circle and you had a spell to attack with at range yes."
"As for the super critical not so much, it only takes one player landing the super critical to kill a low ranked boss, as I said it's the higher ranked ones that are far more dangerous."
The two went silent for a second before Alea asked.
"So, you should be leaving the starter village soon and heading to Thamethalas right?"
"Yeah, but I have to meet each of the leaders of the Druid circles and learn one skill from them for my class quest and also reach level 10." John replied.
"Your best to level up after you leave the starter village now since it will be quicker for you, when you get to Thamethalas after getting your skills message me and I will show you around." Alea suggested.
"Oh, you finished your dungeon?"
"It has been a week, John." Alea laughed.
"Ah yeah good point, ok sounds like a plan."
"Good, I will make sure to point out all the important locations to you in Thamethalas." Alea said with a happy smile before thinking of something.
"Actually, since you're a druid and even have the ability to speak to animals you may be able to help me out with a quest."
"I don't mind helping but are there not plenty of elf druids in Thamethalas that could help you, after all if their beloved princess asked them." John replied with a teasing smile.
"Oh, when did you learn to become such a tease?" Alea replied with a giggle and John noticed she put her hand on the necklace he gave her before.
"You are correct that if I asked, chances are most elves would be willing to help, however there are special circumstances that prevent this."
