In Ancient Myth after dying, you'll have two options, the first is to wait five minutes and revive naturally or by sacrificing half a lvl you'll be able to revive instantly.
Tony didn't choose to revive himself and was mentally replaying the fight
"So what I got from this, first monsters attack are irregular and have a different pattern, second monsters can coordinate with each other and maybe even do some combination with their attacks and lastly I truly underestimated the depths of the realism of the game" the pain of being attacked and dying was no different than the real world.
"My blood is boiling, the beast inside of me is about to be awakened" if anyone saw his expression now they will be scared of their wits. So after the five minutes ended he respawned in the basement and checked his player panel

"Losing a whole lvl when dying is bothersome, fortunately, I didn't drop anything" this is true when one reaches the high lvls "oh I almost forget about the skill" entering the skill panel to check the newest one, after reading the description he decided to call it Bloodlust

"Isn't this skill to op for this stage of the game" Tony was baffled by the skill because it was a berserk skill in difficult times. It's like giving you another life, for such a skill to appear this early is a surprise. What Tony didn't consider was that he was just that monstrous nothing more nothing less.
"When I reach lvl 5 I will go and try the Devil Hunt quest"
He made his way to the rats after equipping the beginning boots
[Name: Rotten Rat]
[Type: common]
Lvl 03
HP: 150
Attacks: the sharp claw and rotten bite
The moment he was 6 yards away the rat closest to him started making a weird voice which attracted the other two, Tony was just observing their behavior and making note of everything.
"So they can communicate, which means the higher the grade of the monster the harder to deal with it" the more he figures things about the game, the more the game will shock him.
"Since I gave you the honor of killing me last time it should be my turn to return the favor right" the moment the rats entered the fighting mode, Tony choose that instant for attacking, and his first move was Lightning strike, the moment he strikes down with his weapon within 5-yard radius lightning flashed out covering the three Rotten Rats.
"Notification: congratulations you executed Lightning strike with 85% completion, causing 85 lightning damage and forcing them into a fainted state for 2 seconds"
- 85 damage appeared above the rats and Tony didn't stop there, bringing the Humming blade closer to his body as he madly rashes to the closest rat and sends out a sword light.
"Notification: Sword light 90% completion" a - 20 damage was caused, he then swung his sword two more times causing -13 damage, now that rat got only 32 while the other two had 65.
After the fainting state ended the rats attacked him from three different angles it was as if they prepared this beforehand. This made Tony delightful because you can't have much fun in the real world where you just fight to your heart's content.
He dodged the three attacks skillfully without a problem, although their attacks looked good to Tony who's used for fighting real monsters in the real world, the rats can only be considered clumsy so he just kept dodging while nibbling their health slowly and after a minute of fighting he ended the fight like how he started it by using Lightning strike.
"System notification: congratulations for killing 3 rotten rats, rewards: 90 exp"
Leveling up in Ancient Myth is hard because monsters don't usually give much exp unless it was a high tier one, then Tony started looting the corps

"This dagger is not bad. If that bastard doesn't have a good weapon I will sell it for him" thinking about Mark makes Tony shake his head because he knows what kind of monster his rival is.
After he equipped the glove and put everything in his bag, he did a tour in the basement checking if everything was good. After that, he made his way to manager Bob.
"Hero I don't know to thank you enough because of your help the business will get back on track and I can support my family again, please accept this small gift from me"
"Ding system notification: congratulations for completing the C rank quest, rewards 30 exp, +55 bronze, and an equipment"
A white light enveloped him as he was back to level 02, but Tony didn't bother about that as he was looking at the mask in his hand.
[Name: Faceless mask]
[Rank: unique]
Passive: Hide your information from other identification
Activation: +20 evasion, the sense of monster, and 100% increase in agility for 30 seconds
Cooldown: 1 minute
"So that's why the system label it as a special reward"
"This mask was left here by a traveling expert in my father era, and it was just accumulating dust since we don't know how to use it, so take it young hero I hope it will help for you"
"Manager Bob this mask is actually of a great help for me especially now"
"Wonderful with you saying this made me at ease, and if you ever need anything just say it and I will help" those words made Tony eyes shine he thought for a moment before saying "manager Bob just any type of information or stuff you hear tell me about them since I will be here for a little while" considering the tavern a place where many gather in so the flow of information is always high, and some high-level quest or hint may appear at any day. That's why players usually swarm around the tavern looking for any information.
"That will be easy for me just every day drop by and I will tell you what I hear in the day" after the brief exchange Tony left the tavern because some players got wind of the tavern problems and came to do the quest only to find out that the problem was already solved.
As usual, he first made a tour around to see if there was anything of use to him, the level of players surprised him a bit after all not all players can take on monsters easy like him, for others killing monster require a party at least yet in this small village he met many who have lvl 02
"It seems that all the monsters around the village and those pitiful quests are gone".
After that he made his way to the east part of the village, because of the information he gathered from the tavern and people around the villager, the oldest person here grandpa Ming told him a hint that the cause first started in the east 10 years ago with only one case and then it became something frequently.
The east part was mostly trees because the villagers thought it was cursed, so without wasting too much time Tony activated the skill [Hawkeye] and his eyes started looking at things differently.
"What a mystic skill to think that the world is this different from it" after investing for some time he found a clue, in the remote part what looked like a normal tree and a rock was a hidden entrance which was in a state like his camouflage skill.
"This is definitely the work of a master" after checking everything he used his camouflage skill and entered what looked like a hidden path easily.
"Ding ding system notification: you have entered into a strange area"
"Ding ding system notification: welcome to the Ghost town"
"It seems I got myself in a deep shit" this was his thoughts about this strange place because the moment he entered his sense was picking danger from everywhere.Tightening the grip on his sword he started walking in the narrow road ahead, yet after walking for 10 minutes he still saw no end to it."Either I'm walking in a loop or there's no end to this damn road" he was regretting coming here, he suddenly turned around and activated [perry].An attack that suddenly appeared out of nowhere was going to his heart but Tony blocked it at the last moment."So you finally couldn't hold yourself anymore you damn ghost"[Name: Wandering ghost][Type: common]Lvl 05Hp: 230Attacks: wild claw, hidden strike, and terrorizing shout."His HP is low but if he hits me I'm dead for sure" That's was the trick about ghost-type monsters. So after blocking the first move, Tony rushes into the ghost while swinging his sword fr
"Lady Aelvan what do you mean by path""Well this is something you'll know when the time is right but I can just tell you that each class has three paths" her words confirmed Tony's guesses."Things are getting really interesting" Tony started thinking about how to get more information about the paths in swordsman class."Quest: Elf savior SS-rank, part 1 became an Expert""Lady Aelvan could tell me why must I be an Expert with a chosen path first""Because you need to get something from the ghost town first, and all the monsters inside are above level 30 and you'll be like a little fly to them""So it's level 30 when we have to choose a path" even with NPC's high intelligence she would never expect him to ask just to get that information."Since it's like that I will try my best to reach that level as quickly as possible" he then looked at the few Wandering ghosts around the town entrance and smiled "before that I will kill thi
"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 lea
"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
On the highest floor inside the headquarter of the Miracle Corporation, a meeting was held between the upper echelon, the investors, and the game developers; precisely there were 15 people inside the room and 15 through a hologram, each one is considered a heavyweight in their own right.The one leading the meeting was the current president of the company, a genius in the business world that led the Miracle Corporation to its current height Levi Ashdown, at the age of 20 he took the company which was on the brink of bankruptcy to become the most dominant in the gaming field in only 10 years. After waiting for a few minutes so the others could settle down, he tapped his finger on the table three times, which was his famous sign that the meeting was starting."I believe all of you heard about the last news that a player already created an SSS-rank skill so any opinion on this matter some of them are even saying that the one who did it is our lord so does anyone have a thought about thi
"Ancient Myth main server notification: congratulation for player XXXX for being the first player to create an SSS-rank skill. Rewarding: 1 Gold equipment, 1000 gold, and 1 special gift".The notification sent all players into a frenzied state and many were in disbelief especially those who tried to create a high-rank skill knew how hard it was to create one, yet someone already created the highest-ranked skill which should be impossible at this stage of the game."Impossible how can someone create an SSS-rank skill the bastard must have cheated" someone inside a village exclaimed only to be jeered by others"Are dumb in this game it's impossible to cheat since the system is in control over everything, however for someone to achieve that means that this game have some real monsters""Damn I'm struggling with creating an A-rank skill yet someone already creating SSS-rank skills where is justice in this""Investigate no matter what I must know how did he or she do it"Those types of con
"Ding ding ding ding congratulations for being the first player to enter a Prajna state""Congratulations the world energy have purified the player body"After few minutes Tony wook up from that state and was looking at the box in his hand with complete shock as his heart started beating fast because the many thoughts that plugged him recently about his martial arts were all solved and even gained different insights, Tony even felt that his brain capacity has been raised which made it easy for him to have a better control over his body and execute any technique."To think there's an item in this game that let one enter an enlightenment state"In Buddhism, prajna is the ultimate understanding of the true nature of existence and reality. It is a Sanskrit
[Welcome chosen one. Do you wish to change your Fate and embarked on the road of Divinity]"System notification: do you agree to bend the scroll of myth. YES or NO"If anyone were to tell Tony that this scroll is something simple he would never believe that, and it definitely something dangerous however it also represents a fortune."Since they say fortune favors the bold, let me accept and see what kind of a challenge this scroll will bring me" Tony thought to himself as he chose the Yes option. The pressure suddenly despised as a light shout-out if the scroll into Tony's head and voice started talking.[The eight main classes were the pillars that the Mortal Realm relied on to survive since ancient times, and all classes have three different paths that are open for anyone to choose from and all paths lead to the summit of the world.

After resting for a minute Tony advanced again in his hunt for Beast Rocks and treasure chests. The monsters had a short respawn time, so from time to time, he would attract some of these Beast Rocks. Fortunately, there were some narrow spaces. This resulted in the Beast Rocks blocking each other’s path.Seeing this, Tony had a good idea. He started luring more Beast Rocks, and within a short moment, he had lured over 10 of these monsters. The monsters chased after Tony in a group as if they owed him money, but the narrow pathways in the mountain prevented them from even stretching their bodies. Just a slight movement and they would run into the other Mountain Beast Fighters. While Tony kept using Lightning strike, double slash, and his other skills to burn off the HP of the Beast Rocks behind him.He kept doing the same thing over and over again for three straight hours, some might find this not worth it considering the shameful loot the Beast Rocks give, howeve
The area The Lone Peak Mountain was in is a level 9 monster area called the Mountains forest, and when Tony got there he faced some difficulties because the monsters here usually stayed in groups of three to five, and some of them possessed powerful skills. A single misstep could cause a party-wipe. Let alone a solo player who doesn't have an invisibility skill which made it harder for him to maneuver around the monsters. That's why he took almost an hour just to reach his destination.However when he was looking at the Lone peak mountain Tony got the feeling that it was not a simple one, after all, there were no monsters in the vicinity so he activated [Hawkeye] and he found the cause, there was an invisible barrier around it that made no monster come closer. Tony tried and found that he can enter easily so he took his time and prepared himself mentally. The first thing he did was check his player p
"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
"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
