2024-10-29 19:42:56"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 05
Hp: 230
Attacks: 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 from different angles rapidly at it, yet after exchanging several moves he comes to the shocking fact that the wandering ghost was blocking his strike while counter-attacking at the same time.
"What the hell, am I fighting a monster or a real person, to think a monster can fight like a player is really an eye-opener for me" the more he fought with the ghost the bolder he became, Tony started landing some attacks but because of the level difference he only took 50 HP from the ghost.
"I'm falling in love with the game more and more" for him fighting is everything, he likes the feeling of improving his skills and fighting sense so to have a fight where any mistake means defeat is a blessing for a menace like him.
When the wandering ghost HP got lower than 200 it used the skill wild claw which Tony countered using his skill [double slash]
"System notification: double slash completion 100%" the first slash blocked the attack while the second landed perfectly on the ghost and -76 appeared above its head, while the bleeding effect was taking -1 every second.
After that immediately he executed [Lightning strike] and concentrated the lighting on the ghost rather than the wide area.
"System notification: congratulations you used [Lightning strike] at 100%"
A big -150 appeared on the ghost as he disappeared in the air leaving behind a few items.
Bronze x5
Health potion x2
Mana potion x1
Random gems (for blacksmith)
"Hmm so when you understand the mechanisms behind the skill and execute it perfectly you'll be able to use it freely and have complete control over it" generally in games a skill can only be used in one way, yet in Ancient Myth a skill can be used as one sees fit if the conditions are met.
"I need to fight more to have a better understanding of this" and he started his hunt.
After 2 hours of walking and fighting seven more ghosts, Tony confirmed his theory that if the 2 conditions are met the skill can be used as one likes. When he got the hang of it he started playing around with the skills as he likes, using [double slash] to attack different spots, or using the AOE [Lightning strike] in a wide or long way.
"This is a blessing I have never been this happy in my life, just to fight as if in the real world yet without fearing no consequences makes this game the best in history" after making many experiments in his last fights he concluded that in this game the room for maneuvering in a fight is quite wide, you can dodge, block, counter-attack or even use some real martial arts principal in your fight and this what brought Tony the biggest surprise.
"I think this is why our master asked as you play the game, just the ability to use martial arts and the endless possibility of improving oneself make it worthwhile.
The long road finally came to an end and what came into Tony's sight was a town "this is mad to build a town underground" just from the entrance of the town he believes that this place has an old mighty history.
Although he exited the road Tony still didn't dare to move around and was stealthily making his way to the big rocks on the side while evading entering the range of the ghosts which he calculated to be 8-yards. But the moment he reached the rocks a voice came from behind.
"What are you doing here human" if Tony says that didn't scare him it will be the biggest lie, he was concentrating his senses all this time on a high alert yet a voice came from behind him that made his heart stop for a second.
Turning around he saw the figure of a woman, she was like other ghosts but more incorporeal than them. Tony also saw that her ears are pointy which indicates that she is an elf so he activated the skill [Hawkeye]
[Name: Aelvan]
[Cursed by a supreme Ghost]
Lvl ?????
HP ??????
Lady Aelvan is one of the fairy forest 4 protectors known as forest champion.
"Hello lady elf I was asked by my village to investigate the cause of the sickness, so I found some clews and a hidden entrance so I followed the road and ended up here" he got the feeling that no lie can escape the elf so he said the complete truth
"That's because some of the ghosts started wandering in that road and their aura leaked out since you killed them this should solve the problem now leave this place is dangerous for someone as weak as you" although she said that with goodwill for Tony who hate when someone tells him he's weak so he wanted to show off
"Mmm lady elf it seems to me that you're cursed by a strong ghost is there anything I can help with" those words are like a lightning bolt for the elf, she never consider that a weak human can see through her curse this quickly, most people will think that she became a ghost because of past grievances, not a curse.
Seeing the shock in her eyes made Tony proud like a peacock.
"I take back what I said you're not a simple one to actually see I'm cursed"
"You're flattering me lady elf it's just the right way to think since this place leaking with an evil aura and the elf race is such a proud race so only a curse can force you into such a state"
"What a terrifying observation, my name is
Aelvan I'm one of the fairy forest 4 protectors you're worthy of knowing my name"
"Ding ding ding system notification: congratulations Aelvan impression of you increased by 50 points"
"System notification: a high ranking member of the elf race consider you worthy, you can enter the fairy forest"
"Ding ding ding system notification: congratulations for being the first player that another race recognized, rewarding: +1 level, +5 all attributes (hidden too) and the title elf friend"
"Damn I just wanted to show off yet I was rewarded as the saying goes fortune favors the bold" the rewards this time are top tier especially the title
[Elf friend]
Enter the fairy forest whenever you like, and have the treatment of a baron worldwide
Can convert into the Elf race
In Ancient Myth all players start in the human race, but the system guide hinted that you can also convert into a different race if you find the way to it.
"Interesting they say that the elves are nature's favorite child, be it mage, priest or summoner class player will do anything to get a chance to convert to this race" Tony started thinking how to use this since he plans on staying a human.
"Mad Demon would you like to accept a quest from me"
"System notification: you triggered a legendary quest: elf savior do you accept it" the notification paralyzed Tony other players are struggling to get just a C rank quest in this stage of the game, and his mighty self is already triggering an SS-rank one.
"Although my chances to complete the quest are nonexistent I'll still try it" so he accepted the quest.
"Wonderful it's my fortune that I let you today, but the quest is impossible for the current you to complete it because the minimum requirements for it are to be an Expert who has chosen a path"
"Path? By saying that, does she mean that we are going to change our class at some point in the game" Tony was bewildered by this amount of information because the system guide never mentioned this.

"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

"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

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

INVESTIGATING THE RUIN
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.
