When players know that they could explore Limbo, they started to explore every nook and cranny of it. To their surprise, there is a chance that they can find floating spiritual items called Small Wisp. These items spawn at a small rate and finding one is basically dependent on one's luck.
The Small Wisp will reduce the experience reduction of anyone that finds them. It gives a 1% reduction in the penalty for experience points which is basically godsend for any player in the higher levels. Players in the lower levels do not need to get this as they can just recover that 1% with one monster at their level.
Also, the low-level players do not want to contend with the high-level players on the Small Wisp as they do not want to displeasure them. They also do not want to waste that much time lingering on this realm as they might suddenly incur the displeasure of the Anubis. They are guards that are very dedicated to their jobs.
The Anubises had made a name for themselves as loyal watchdogs of the God of Death. They are also very strict when it comes to people roaming around Limbo. They only have two rules that they preach in this realm.
The first rule is that they must never socialize with other dead people that they do not know. It seems that this rule was made so that players will not talk to NPCs that are dead and learn of their mortal life. It seems that the dead likes to talk about their past mortal life to the point that they even spill secrets that they learned while roaming the mortal plane as a soul.The second rule that those inside the realm of Limbo must follow is to not impede the work of the workers. It seems that the first players that entered Limbo when it opened challenged some of the Anubises. Some also tested the patience of the Anubises which incurred their wrath.
The players learned that you can also die in the realm of the dead. The only ones that could kill you will be the ones that can move freely there which means the Anubises. The death penalty will also stack upon your death in Limbo which is why players who died to the guards could be seen ranting in the forums.
"What is happening, dear wardens?" The leader of the current dead Shark Tooth Guild members stated. He was visibly confused as they were suddenly in front of the line. They cannot also log out as some players do not like to wait in line for their turn to pass the gate.
"The Representative of the God of Death has chosen you people. Be silent and let him speak." One of the Anubis stated which made the Shark Tooth Guild members shut their mouths.
All the players in the area are also intrigued upon the sudden turn of events as this has never happened before. They never heard of this Representative of the God of Death before. Even the forums have never heard of his name or title. Some already started to take a recording of the events since this is very new and fresh.
"I will give you a chance to lessen your burden. Defeat me in combat and I will lessen your death penalty by one day." Adrian stated as that is how far his authority could consume.
There are various limitations on what Adrian could do for this as he cannot use this on every player he meets in Limbo. The first restriction is that the dead players must not have stayed in Limbo for more than two days already. The second is that no one in his friends list could be affected by his judgement or the special power of Pardon. The third is that he can only choose ten people per day as he needed to be limited in challenges."The Representative of the God of Death has given you the chance of Pardon to alleviate you of your death penalty. Will you accept his favor?" One of the Anubises stated.
"If I am correct, Great Representative of the God of Death, then we will be pardoned if we defeat you? It will decrease our sentence by one day, correct?" The leader of the current dead Shark Tooth Guild members stated.
"Correct but your death penalty will also be increased by one day if you lose. Balance must be given as death is fair to everyone." Adrian stated as it was in his rule that he can decrease and increase the death penalty depending on the circumstance.
The players, who know each other, suddenly started to talk to each other as the players in front of them have been given an opportunity to lessen their death penalty. This was a sudden but big announcement as the players now know of a method that can decrease their death penalty.
The only problem that they had is that they were not chosen by the Representative of the God of Death. All the players in the venue started to speculate on how they could be chosen as it is indeed a coveted spot. The players that were chosen could be seen being glared at with jealousy by the ones not chosen.
"Will you agree to the challenge?" Adrian asked once more as he radiated his Nether Energy to look more dignified.
"Will it be a fair duel?" The leader of the current dead Shark Tooth Guild members asked which made the Anubises furious.
"How dare you question the Representative of the God of Death about fairness?" The Anubises exclaimed which scared the players.
"It is fine as this is the first time that they have encountered me. Their question did not offend me in anyway but understand mortal." Adrian stated as his Nether Energy started to surround the area which pressured all the souls in the vicinity.
"Death is fair to everyone. Death does not give chances like this to anybody. That in turn means that I shall face all the ones that I have chosen in a fair battle." Adrian replied as the guidelines suddenly appeared before the Shark Tooth Guild members.
"Can we given time to deliberate, Great Representative of the God of Death?" The leader of the current dead Shark Tooth Guild members asked.
"I shall give you one minute to decide." Adrian stated as he retracted his Nether Aura because the other souls are visibly shaken by the power that it holds.
The Shark Tooth Guild members asked each other their opinions, and some did not want to take the risk. Although some did not want to take the risk, democracy is not a part of their team spirit. The leader of their group pressured all of them to battle Adrian as they had a good chance to relieve one day off their death penalty.
"We humbly accept your gracious gift, Great Representative of the God of Death." The leader of the current dead Shark Tooth Guild members stated.
When the Shark Tooth Guild member accepted the challenge, Adrian clicked the glowing icon that appeared in his vision. It was an icon that gave him the extra skill, Create Arena. As soon as he clicked the icon, nether energy slipped out from his body and started to create an arena made of stone out of it.
The arena is rather basic and is only about ten meters wide in a square shape. It is also elevated by two feet which means that almost everyone can see what is happening. The players are all amazed by this as this is the first time that they witnessed a being creating an ominous looking arena.
The players started to try and identify the Representative of the God of Death true identity. Even the Anubises are showing him respect to the point that the only thing that they did not do is kneel to kiss his feet. The players all concluded that the Representative of the God of Death may be one of the Gods of Death.
Some of those that wanted to challenge the Representative of the God of Death started to get scared as they did not want to fight a god in game. Some actually wanted to fight the Representative of the God of Death more because they may get acknowledged. Players that are confident want to get a blessing from a god after all since there are rumors of famous players being blessed by a god or goddess.
"Who will be the first challenger?" Adrian asked as he suddenly thought on what weapon to use. He decided to use his scythe as it screams Representative of the God of Death.
When Adrian pulled out his scythe, not only the challengers but also all the players gulped. The scythe has a moving eye at the base of the blade which made it look more menacing. The clothes that the Representative of the God of Death also changed to a more combat oriented clothing. The dead Shark Tooth Guild members suddenly thought that they bit more than they could chew.
