Light and color returned to Glade as Wizzard logged back online. John could not be seen on his friends list, he was not online. It was early morning, and the sky was a light blue, dotted with white, puffy clouds. An armor shop could be seen close by, it was just a traveling merchant located outside a town. Even though it was small and mobile, the shop held some of the best armor in the land. Walking towards the shop, Glade started pulling his gold out of the satchel he used to carry his items. Somehow, it had magical properties that allowed it to have almost unlimited storage space. He approached the shop, and the shopkeeper recognized him.<br/><br/>"Glade!" he said expectantly, "Have you finally earned enough gold to buy this?" The shopkeeper pulled out a new mage robe, it was had a dark green color with grey trims. Topped off with a white collar, the buttons were of the finest quality, and they were grey, too, to match the trimming color. After a few seconds of marveling at the robe, Glade nodded and handed over the gold required to buy it. The shopkeeper grabbed the gold and handed the robe to Glade. Immediately, Glade equipped the robe and sold his old one to the shopkeeper. He was given a fair amount of gold for his old robe, and he set off for a daily quest. Being near the level cap, Wizzard and Glade completed all story quests and side quests, and that left them for grinding daily, repeatable quests and monsters. It was a boring task, and the payoff was alright. Each high level monster dropped around 50 gold and a bit of EXP, but it wasn't enough to be very quick at leveling him up. Red flashing letters appeared in front of Glade.<br/><br/>"Boss Spawn! 50 kilometers east!" it read, and his eyes lit up.<span style="font-style: italic">You ready, Glade?</span>asked a voice in his head.<span style="font-style: italic">This seems to be the toughest boss we fought yet.</span>Glade, without saying a word, started heading east, towards the boss. He and Wizzard had no idea of what the boss would look like, and its strength. But, they had heard rumors of a boss like no other appearing within the next few days. Characters and their players would whisper how it would be just another boss spawn, and others said it would be the strongest boss to come to Shadowcrest. No matter how hard or easy, Glade was determined to be there and be the one to slay the boss. If in fact it was the strongest boss in Shadowcrest, it would be enough to raise him to the level cap.
