"Maya why don't we just give it to them for avoiding the trouble," said the man who was playing as a guardian knight to the girl "Chris how can you say something like that don't you know how important the money is for us right now if you're scared then go no one is stopping" those words angered him greatly especially when he saw the look of disdain the other players are giving him
"Who said I'm scared of this just rational thinking" Chris tried to defend himself only to be humiliated by the bystanders.
"What a coward he can't even defend his girlfriend" "man the girl is pretty but her taste in man is really bad" "with his cowardice personality who gave him the balls to pick the guardian knight class"
No one gave him a face as all the players started taunting him and laughing which made Chris think of just logging off to avoid this humiliation.
"Little girl this is the last time I'm saying this, give me the armor and everything will end well" the leader said with a forceful tone as if there's no room for discussion.
When Maya almost drown in despair a faint voice broke out the tense atmosphere
"I have taken a liking to this armor, how much do you want for it" Tony's appearance shocked all the people in there especially Maya who saw hope in him. Even an idiot will understand what kind of situation was happening yet Tony still talked as if it was nothing, she even saw him not bothering to look at the bloodhound gang.
"Hello, sir this armor is a bronze rank with good stats so I'm selling it for 50 bronze" at this moment she was really worried after all the bloodhound members were looking at Tony like a dead person, the pressure they were releasing made her scared and her little sister was even about to cry.
But she was going to advise him against that and let go of the armor, she saw Tony smiling faintly as if the bloodhound gang killing intent was just a little breeze, another person saw that it was the leader who got a really bad feeling looking at Tony back.
"Kid who the fuck do you think yourself is to actually try and take what our boss wants" "for a beautiful woman he's tossing his life away" "since your parents didn't teach you about the danger of the world I will do it" even the other players are looking at him with a pity because they thought that the gang will never let him go and his life in the game will become hell.
Tony turned around and stared at the gang members coldly this made them feel as if a beast was looking at his prey, even the bystanders were shocked by his killing intent "old man you better teach you dogs that sometimes a single word can send them to hell" saying that he swung his sword using [lightning strike] it was so fast that before anyone can say anything all the members of the gang except the leader died and only pieces of equipment were laying in the ground.
That single strike is something whoever saw it will never be able to forget, it was the apex that many players dreamed of reaching but could never be.
"Just what kind of a monster are you" the leader of the gang has never been this afraid of someone in his entire life, even though it's just a game but Tony killing intent was so great that it messed him up "well you can consider me someone you should never provoke" when he was going to finish him the village leader suddenly appeared with the guards which brought hope to the gang leader "you're finished" but Tony was just as composed as ever which made the poor little gang leader even more scared.
Usually, when someone stir troubles inside the village the guards will take him down immediately yet when they arrived at the scene this time the village leader approached Tony and asked him humbly "sir Mad Demon may I know what happened here" this was more shocking to them then to Tony taking down the whole gang with one strike, because they know there are many monster class players so for one of that caliber to appear is acceptable but to have the village leader and guard respect you like that when the game merely in its first few hours was something no one has ever consider happening. Yet the reality was proving to them that a player can do that.
"There were just a few flies that irritated me so I took them down" Tony responded nonchalantly but that made the watchers even more bewildered, especially the gang leader who was regretting everything that happened today. He thought of escaping only to find a sword stabbing his heart the last thing he saw was Tony's eyes that looked at him with disdain.
Maya stood there not knowing how to react at all, the gang she thought were invisible were as weak as a bug in front of a real strong player.
"If I can have this kind of strength, who would dare to bully me and my sister" Tony's mighty display was an eyeopener for her and something that made her wish to improve herself better.
She was not alone, many of those who watched how Tony took down the gang especially his last attack, the speed, and control over his movement to land a hit, and going back without the opponent realizing that is hard even for top tier players.
"I never thought that there's such a strong person in this village"
"Me too to think he got such godly skills yet no one knows him"
"He should be as strong or even stronger than those three Right" "well he's definitely not weaker than any of them I'm even more looking forward to when they fight for supremacy".
Although the form wasn't open, by calculation it was found that there were at least 10000 villages at the start of the game so the competition at each village is quite high especially for reaching the higher levels and being the best in there. Like in the village Tony was in, although many famous players from other games and many celebrities are there still, the top spot was held by three who all players consider true monsters.
One was Eternal knight playing a guardian knight, the other is a woman known as Red Lotus playing as a thief, and the last and probably the strongest one is Solitary Sword. And with Tony's appearance, the competition for the top stop is something many can't wait to see.
"Big brother you're awesome the way you defeated all those bad guys is super cool" the little girl was looking at Tony with sparkling eyes and excitement "of course I'm the most badass person in this world" Tony started boasting in front of her which made her laugh happily.
"Village leader I'm sorry for giving you such a poor show"
"It's all right since no actual damage happened" after exchanging a few words with the village leader he told the two sisters to follow him for a quiet place to talk.
Tony suddenly stopped and turned to Chris who was trailing behind them coldly
"What do you think you doing here" seeing his cold eyes made Chris shack from fear, he replied weakly "but I'm with them" but he regret that because he saw both sisters looking at him as a stranger, after all since he is their friend he should stood out in the face of the gang but he turned out to be a coward which made his image in the two sisters eyes crumble.
"I told them to follow me. I never said you can come to" Chris mastered his courage and said "But why what I did earlier was the best decision at that time" the more he tried to justify his doing the more disgusted Maya became.
"It seems you get something wrong because I don't care about anything related to you, I told you not to follow me simply because you aren't worthy of being at the same place with me" Tony was talking with complete disdain "now go as far you can from me before I make a quick work of you" those words send chill in Chris spin, he just turned around and left without even making a sound.
"Big brother, can you please teach me how to play as well as you?" the little girl asked Tony with eyes filled with hope."Little Suzy reaching my level is quite hard but I will give you some pieces of advice that'll help you improve like how to control your skills and to train your body since I'm an instructor in a dojo""Really! big brother you actually work as an instructor" even Maya was visibly surprised, after all, it was said that to get an instructor license is the hardest, because you have to clear many requirements and prove that you can teach. That's why usually all instructors are old people so for Tony to be one at such a young age can only be described as exceptional."Well I only got my license recently"He took them to Bob's tavern and rented a room for 1 silver, the sisters started feeling numb from Tony's consecutive surprises."First I will send both of you an invitation then we'll talk about the armor" he chose the friends list
"Big brother, how did you find her that far away?" Suzy asked curiously because a magical class should have higher awareness than a melee class, let alone that Red Lotus was very far away from them."Simply, you're treating this game as a normal one, but the thing is this game is actually different than anything ever created, you can use your five senses which are enhanced by the game fidelity rate of 100% like in the real world, for example, we are entering the forest right now if you concentrate really good you'll feel the wind blowing and some strange smells" when the two sisters did what Tony explained they started seeing the world differently."To think we were playing the game wrongly from the beginning" both Maya and Suzy were a little bit downhearted "this not a matter of playing wrong because even for me it took me some time to figure this out" then he pointed in the direction where the five villagers told them to take "this forest only have monsters up to lev
Ancient Myth started with 8 billion players in the beginning and after knowing the game's amazing effects and its uniqueness after a few hours the number of players became 20 billion which was a terrifying figure since even the most popular game before it known as Clash of Titan at its absolute peak only had 22 billion players.Now after more than 10 hours of playing the number of players inside the server of Ancient Myth reached a terrifying 50 billion people, this forced almost all the other games servers to close down since be it old or young all people were only interested in the new game, some of the game developers said that the server can hold the whole human population which was more than 150 billion this made even more wanting to start developing in Ancient Myth since the longer you wait the harder for you to catch-up to the leading players."Big brother thanks for your words"<
"Big sis big brother did you see I used double casting" Suzy was completely shocked then started jumping and shouting from happiness because she did something only exceptional mages can do.At that moment an angry scream came from inside the fire and she saw two pigs running to her with red eyes. In the heat of happiness, Suzy actually forgot about the ongoing fight which led to the boars reaching her while she was completely defenseless.Although she did an amateur mistake, Tony from the beginning didn't take his eyes from the fight, so when the two boars attacked Suzy he was already in the motion of activating [Lightning strike] which took the rest of the monsters HP"Thank God big brother is with us""Suzy this is not the time for playing around how can you do such a stupid mistake""But sis I was just happy" Suzy replied before she lowered her head and said with a pitiful voice "I'm sorry I won't do this again" seeing how her
After battling for a while Tony completely figured out the way the boar king fights, although using the formless style for a few minutes took a heavy toll on his body, still the results were something worth the try as he comes out of that with many useful insights that will be of great help in his gaming career. So Tony used the rest of the fight to demonstrate to the two sisters how to strategize a fight and gave them a lot of advice while answering some of the difficulties they faced with their skills and movements.Half an hour passed and finally Tony finished the fight, although the fight became easy because of their party law attack strength and the boar king who can regenerate 2% of his full HP it took that much time especially when the boar king used the skill [Ferocity], a broken skill that converts all the damage taken into HP while sacrificing the defense, so the sturdy boar king became like glass to Tony it still took him some time to finish the 1000 HP of the mons
Phantasm Slasher was one of the few monstrous geniuses that appeared inside the abyss battlefield if compared then he was considered of a higher caliber than the likes of Tony and Mark because for them the existence of their master who was there to guide them and more importantly was a dithering force that forced all of their competitors to only face them inside the abyss battlefield and never use any underhand means and with the strength and abilities that Tony and Mark had having a winning streak is a simple thing, but for the Phantasm Slasher who was a lone wolf that didn't associate with anyone, it was quite hard to advance inside the abyss battlefield.Yet not only did he advance there easily, the Phantasm Slasher even had one of the longest winning streaks which reached 42 wins, this led to him becoming arrogant and refusing to join any dojo, company, or family. He even refused some of the worlds renewed Grandmasters to become a disciple under their wing, for that many
"So how does it feel to be back to your old self""It has been ages since I felt this good" replied Silent Shadow in a happy mode as he approached Tony and shakes his hand "let me introduce myself properly I'm Brandan Elias it's a pleasure meeting you" Tony replied while shaking his hand firmly "and I'm Tony'' this was a meeting between two that are going to take the world by a storm in the future. He then left Brandan in his own world as he approached the corps of the boar king for looting it."Big brother who's that person" Suzy couldn't hold herself anymore and asked with curiosity, this made Tony pat her on the head "Have you heard of the Abyss battlefield" the question made her shake her head indicating that she doesn't know about it but Maya, on the other hand, appeared to know something or two."I heard from some classmates that it's the place where you could find anything because all the powerful organizations in the world have a dealing inside the
"Since it'll be an assassin group that only appears when striking and taking down their enemies let's call it Hidden Edge" nothing was fancy about the name however when Brandan heard it his ambition that he lost many years ago started coming back to life."And they don't have to be young because even those with one leg in the grave can laked a name for themselves that's what kind of masterpiece this game is" Tony explained to Brandan his plan slowly "my requirements for the members are the first talented with an adaptive aptitude to cope with any situation they face, second they must have some achievement in martial arts and third is for each member to be loyal and honest I don't want to let a snake enter my house" those three requirements are what Tony wanted to be the foundation for Hidden Edge to be successful.Brandan was silent for a while, he would lie if he said that he wasn't interested in Tony's offer however he was hesitant because of the problems that
