Path of Spirit (Disgardium Book #6): LitRPG Series, Dan Sugralinov [the reader ebook .TXT] 📗

at the party arm-in-arm with her new boyfriend Liam, friend to Mogwai and nephew to Elizabeth. Tissa breaks up with Alex for good. Liam insults Alex and demands that he stay away from Tissa, who manages to get into a fight with Karina over Alex. In the end, Alex spends the night with Karina.

The next morning, Alex calls Kiran Jackson, Snowstorm director, to find out how to get his character out of the Nether. Jackson laughs at him and denies the existence of the beta version, and when Alex threatens to make public what he knows, he gets angry and threatens to take away all his in-game money in response. The director also demands that Alex fulfill his promises: start the scenario of the Destroying Plague, stop defending Tiamat’s temple, and destroy his character. Then, perhaps, Jackson will think of his own promises.

Alex asks his house assistant O to send messages to all humans named June Curtis. He wants to find the woman whose consciousness became Nine, to learn the truth about the Disgardium beta test.

Returning to the Nether, Alex realizes that his character has continued to live there all this time, with Alex’s consciousness. With the help of an Explosive Lollipop buff, Scyth escapes Nine’s castle to Kharinza. The first mob he kills drops a Smoldering Nether Shard. A million of these shards will open a Rift back to the normal version of Dis for Scyth.

For the next eight months, Scyth levels up and farms shards in the Nether. Finally, the emergency exit timer activates.

Alex sees in the news that Tiamat’s temple has been nearly destroyed by Mogwai and Criterror from Elites and the solo adventurer Dek. At the same time, the battle between the army of Light and the undead begins. Alex has mere minutes of real time to escape the beta version of Dis and save not only the temple, but also his guardians Flaygray, Nega, Anf and Ripta, who have wound up in control of Shazz the lich.

In the Nether, Scyth reaches level 100000 and achieves all ten ranks of Resilience, collecting almost a million shards, but is then imprisoned by Three — another beta tester and friend of Nine. Scyth convinces him that he’ll help him escape the Nether by later making a Rift back to the Nether from the other side; then the stuck beta testers would be able to go through to the normal version of Dis. Three gives Scyth the rest of the Smoldering Nether Shards he needs and lets him go. In parting, he mentions his name: Dennis Kaverin. His friends call him Dek.

Scyth returns (a synchronization error means that his character is returned with the same stats it had when it fell into the Nether) and he makes it in time. The temple has a few percentage points of durability left. Mogwai, Criterror and Dek have been joined by two mages from the Elites: Laneiran and Biancanova. Scyth deals with them all except Mogwai. On top of that, he turns Criterror, Laneiran and Biancanova undead, and when the battle ends, he sees a system message saying that those three characters have decided to switch to the Destroying Plague faction.

Scyth flies to the battle site to save his guardians. By then, the battle is coming to a close. Deznafar has fallen and Shazz the lich is on his last legs. The appearance of a second legate in the same location removes Shazz’s Immortality and the lich expires, but his death spreads Plague Dust across the battlefield, killing all the surviving players and turning them undead. At the same time, each of them is invited to switch to the side of the Destroying Plague.

After collecting the loot and sending his rescued guardians to protect Tiamat’s temple, Scyth peruses the achievements he earned. He becomes Supreme Legate and gets 40% of all the experience from deceased Shazz. He also gets the skill Call of the Supreme Legate, allowing him to summon minions and lesser legates.

Scyth uses the Of One Blood scroll obtained in battle against Ervigot the Ravager to raise the levels of all his pets — Iggy the swamp needler, Crash the diamond worm and Storm the storm dragon — to his own level 564.

For reaching levels 400 and 500, Scyth is given not only the skills Spirit Shackles and Flight, but also the achievement All Hail the Hero, and unlike with other achievements, the first to reach level 400 and 500 cannot remain anonymous. Scyth’s name, and his class-A Threat status along with it, becomes known to the whole world.

Realizing this, Scyth logs out of the game. That same minute, the doorbell rings: it’s Hairo Morales. Now that everyone knows that Alex is the Threat, and his life is in danger, the security officer takes him and the other Awoken, Malik, Hung and Ed, to a secret bunker right away.

The next day, they fly to school and apply for a transfer to distance learning. On parting, the class teacher Greg Kovac reminds Alex of the importance of preparing for the upcoming citizenship tests. Alex asks his girlfriend Karina Rasmussen to stay quiet about their relationship, so as not to put her life in danger. According to Hairo, Alex’s head is now the most valuable prize on the planet.

Hairo and Willy take the boys to Alaska, picking up Yoshihiru Uematsu on the way (expert in networks, encryption, AIs and digital defense), Sergei Yuferov (master of fortifications and defensive equipment) and two bodyguards for Alex: Maria Saar and Roj van Garderen.

The Awoken split up. Alex and Hung, as the two Threats, use the capsules at the base in Alaska; Malik, Ed and his little sister Polyanna go with Willy to another shelter. Alex gives an exclusive interview to Ian Mitchell, for the first time not hiding his identity. Disgardium Daily pays three million dark phoenixes for it.

Alex decides that as soon as he sells the Portal Key
