Testing out a new way of coloring comics. I also decided to go with black borders instead of white. I like these better.

Story time!

I was running out of ideas at this point. Thanks to the X3 EXP event, artist were flooding the highest rated maps to level up their OC's. The only good places left to farm without D bag players stealing your kills were the lower rated maps. Unfortunately, those maps didn't drop enough EXP to be worth talking about. I was almost out of hope until Dodge decided to appear out of nowhere.
ME: Gah!!! Don't scare me like that!
DODGE: Sorry, but this is huge news!
ME: Huge, huh?
DODGE: Yeah! Me and JB were messing around in some of the older maps, when all of a sudden, these creepy shadows appeared. Their levels were insanely high, so JB sent me back to let you know about it.

Monsters with high levels on older maps? This might be just what I needed.
ME: This sounds promising. I'll head over right now.
DODGE: You're not taking any other OC's with you.
ME: I need to get their as fast as I can before any other competition finds out.
DODGE: Oh, right! Well, good luck!

I was a little concerned about the levels of the monsters, but then again, Dodge wasn't one of the highest leveled OC's I had. He could be exaggerating.
I arrived in the map Dodge just came from and saw JB waiting for me. I immediately saw the shadows. Strange. I've never seen any creatures like them.
ME: Are these the guys you were talking about?
JB: Indeed. They're way to high of a level to be in this area. It's most likely just a glitch, but they should drop some good experience points.

He could be right. They didn't look like any creature the MODS have introduced. Could they be leaked? It's an even better reason to defeat them fast.
ME: We should farm the EXP before it's fixed, then.
JB: Of course.

As we entered battle mode, I couldn't help but notice that JB had a worried expression on his face. He was my highest leveled OC, so we should be fine. Right?
