2024-10-29 19:42:56Mike, who was swarmed by the system notifications, had a bewildered expression on his face.
It has been a year since the Virtual reality game 'Genesis' has been released and many types of classes and professions were known by the public.
There were different tires among the class system.
The class that most users get at the end of the tutorial quest was a normal one.
Above it was a Rare grade that can be obtained by doing certain quests or achieving some titles.
Above the rare grade was Epic, which has been reported to be obtained by more than a hundred people currently.
The unique tire is the one that is above Epic and the most powerful classes that have been known till now. Currently, only five people have managed to obtain it.
and there was even information about the 11 legendary classes, which no one had discovered or obtained till now.
But what about 'Growth' type?
What does it mean? Is it good? Can this class grow to legendary? various questions were swarming his head.
At the moment that Mike was about to open the skills window...
"huh?!" But he turned around instead as someone had suddenly touched his back. Then he belatedly recalled that he was in the middle of the inauguration of the handpump.
Mike noticed that the one who called out for him was none other than the half-bald village head.
"What is it, elder?"
He asked politely as he didn't want to disrespect a man in his 50s.
The bald man behind him smiled contently at his reply, "I just wanted to thank you, young man! Thank you for contributing this to our village"
He said looking at the hand pump which was already in use, but he didn't stop there but continued further.
"well, if you don't mind, can you do me a favor?"
"huh?"
Mike was surprised! He just finished a quest and by the way, the things are going it seems like another quest was going to be triggered!
Who didn't want a free quest?
"What is it, Elder?" he asked.
The old man laughed broadly," hahaha, it isn't anything difficult! If you can agree to help me, I will promise I will give you a worthy reward later!"
His smile looked a bit suspicious for Mike.
He disliked this type of person the most. 'This person is...He is definitely plotting something.'
Learning from a hard stick, he learned to distinguish between a genuine heart and one that would plot something behind him.
Certainly, the man looked older than him and, at first glance, seemed to be in his 50s. However, Mike's years of experience in dealing with tiring old men were enough to let him know how deceptive appearances were. He had once called someone 'Hyung', only to be backstabbed by the same person
'This bastard… He looked like a feeble old man in his 50s, but…'
"Cough!" Mike'sists trembled, he barely managed to calm himself as he remembered his shameful past. "I'm a sorry elder, but I can't promise you anything before hearing your request?"
The old man laughed and placed his right hand on Mike's shoulder. "yes, of course, I should tell you about the details first, huhu"
Mike politely shook off the Oldman's hand from his shoulder, "It will be a pleasure to hear you out, Elder"
The Old man scratched his head and shrugged. "As you know, I am Khan, the head of this small village and also an alchemist!"
The old man looked at his surroundings and continued. "This is the territory under the rule of Lord Count Wiser, and recently he has handed me a project which I was supposed to finish by this week, but as you can see my Old body is no longer in a position to continue the work, but if I don't provide him with results by this week, My head would go flying"
He looked at Mike with pleading eyes. "You... You actually have great abilities, don't you? Please help me!"
Mike who was watching the Oldman talk this whole time had a bad hunch about the whole thing he was hearing.
'Perhaps this is...'
He instinctively felt that!
'A honey trap!'
He who didn't do anything in the field of alchemy was getting a request to help the village head in doing alchemy.
'It has to be the effect of this class!', He could probably get some good alchemy skills if he finishes the quest!
but he had no intention of becoming an alchemist! He had his own priorities and dreams to achieve, he didn't have the leverage to think about anything else.
"I don't..."
He was about to refuse the quest, but then a notification window about the quest popped up.

‘What happened at that time was something that someone among my the Taylor siblings did.’ As Vincent Taylor confirmed, there is no doubt about it. In such a situation, he has nothing to worry about his siblings as Teressa said that she would take responsibility and make it so that there would be no eyes on him for about a year. Of course, unexpected threats can suddenly emerge somewhere. Just like the downtown incident a while ago. Then, should he move with all these situations in mind? Of course, that’s right. However, being cautious and hiding like a coward are completely different things. ‘Just because you have that in mind, you can’t just sit and crouch down inside the room.’ Anyway, Roger has to grow. The further he goes and the stronger he becomes, the more naturally he will be free from these threats. ‘I can’t help it until then.’ Therefore, the path he chose was to catch more and more people’s eyes. ‘Star disease?

"The raid will start Soon!"A large number of voters still vote along straight-party lines.Seven among the top-ranked players were gathered in one place, which was a rare thing to happen in general. The highest-ranked among them was Rick, who was 19th on the unified rankings. Behind them were hundreds of players wearing black robes with an insignia that represented a wheel with arrows pointing in all directions on their chests.They were the elite players of the Guild "Chaos".It was a spectacular sight—a gathering of players with the combined power to easily capture a small city, but tension and anxiety were visible on everyone's faces."Ten seconds more!"As time finally came, the nervousness of the guild members reached its peak. They were restlessly shaking their legs and tightening their grips on their respective weapons. Ricky gazed around with dark eyes. His hands which held his spear were soaked with sweat. ‘I can’t calm down.’It was a common thing to happen when they were f

Shigeru Miyamoto was the core of the team of 41 scientists who built the virtual reality system and was the person who led the development of Genesis by establishing the New Era Group.He had many titles: the creator of the virtual reality system, the person who changed the world, the father of Genesis, the wealthiest man in the nation, one of the most influential figures in the world, and many more.His countless titles meant that he received the spotlight every time he attended international events, and his influence transcended the American president, making him the world's envy.Yet in fact, his life wasn't as flashy as discussed in the media. He was the head of Genesis's development team as well as head of the New Era Group, so he slept less than four hours a day on average. Despite all that, was he unhappy? No, it was something he wanted for himself. "When passion becomes a profession, the World will look small to rule", That was what he said in one of his interviews.Shigeru M

Chapter 10 - Jigna's Successor
Mike who shut himself in the Workshop for more than an hour in-game came out noticing the inauguration is going to start.The first death penalty which decreased his movement speed by 50% for two hours was still in effect.Players were only allowed to play the game for 15 hours a day on which only one death was allowed, and after the first death, the user would be penalized with a huge 50% decrease in movement speed for two hours after the resurrection and if they die a second time, the person wouldn't be able to log in to the game for the next 12 hours in a real-time, which was quite a harsh penalty, since a day in real life would mean three days in Genesis, it would mean restriction for one and half days in-game.Currently, Mike with his measly 3 points in dexterity along with the -50% speed penalty, was slow as a turtle.But even then, during the time he was in the Workshop he was analyzing the different machines there.

Chapter 09 - Noob to the Bones!
All the work related to the hand pump was completed and all that was left was the inauguration ceremony from when It would be officially in use, and it seemed like his quest would also be completed when the announcement is made. Every player was only allowed to play 15 hours a day in real-time considering that players wouldn't play the game excessively ignoring real life. There was still a lot of time before his log-out period would end. Mike had only played for 8 hours in real life which was equivalent to a day in-game, which meant that he still had another 7 hours till he would be forcefully logged out. "Well then, Shall we go hunting in meantime" He was oddly excited as it was his first time playing a game in a VR, the last time he remembered playing a game was on PC, so everything felt new and interesting. Mike was imagining just how it would feel to fight in VR. Of course, he had tried various technologies when he was a great figure but nothing he had seen was anywhere clos
