elcome to the Ancient Myth warrior" the voice was as if coming from heaven which startled Tony when many scenes started playing before him.
At first in the Urisun continent Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Dragons, and many races used to live there peacefully, each with their territory and different ideas about life.
Some secluded themselves from the others and unless one provoked them they didn't care about what happened outside their domain, and others lived for the sake of war and conquering other weak races while some created alliances between the weak races so they can fight against their strong enemies.
But all of this changed when the portal that linked the mortal realm to the underworld and the demon realm, suddenly cracked open and the savage inhabitants from there stormed the land. Not even calling it brutal can describe that war Because of the high death rate that caused more than 60% of the population in the three realms to perish
Especially in the mortal realm where they were not prepared to be invaded which in turn caused many to be sacrificed in the first wave.
Only after a bitter struggle that the races of the mortal realm started to hold their ground but still they lost many just so that they could take down a few from the demon and underworld realm, the situation became stable a little after the five big races allied and started fighting together. This alleviated the situation and gives the mortal realm inhabitants some room to breathe and collect themselves, yet even with that they still kept losing many against their brutal and cunning enemies because the different atmosphere in the three realms is completely different to the point where you can say that the wars that happened in the Mortal Realm are like a picnic for the Demon and Underworld realm races who live every day like a life-or-death battlefield which gives them the edge of strength in this war.
But as the saying goes hard times create strong men, at the hardest time many heroes and strong fighters emerged to defend their homeland this raised the morale and the tenacity of the whole Mortal realm to the point when even with all the strength that the Underworld and Demon realm can master they still couldn't defeat them and only entered a settlement, that's because the number of the Legendary and Divinity beings in the Mortal realm was more than they thought it was especially at the Divinity rank. The two realms companied got 6 Divinity rank Yet in the Mortal realm alone there was 5 of them, one was even strong to the point of holding both rulers of the Underworld and Demon realm to a draw which shocked many, they never thought such a supreme person is residing in such a weak realm.
After 10 years of battling with more than 1000 small and large scale battles, the Mortal realm inhibitors finally pushed all the invaders to the central area where the gate was opened and it was the place where the three great realms had their last great battle, a battle that nothing like it has ever happened in history with 9 Divinity beings and More than 100 Legendary figure, and after many sacrifices, the invaders finally lost and retreated to their realm with only half their original number.
It was a battle that left behind only ruins and many deaths, and to shut down the crack in the gate the Mortal emperor sacrificed his divinity and power to completely seal it for good, his efforts won him the worship of the mess, after all, he was their hero and protector to the point where even the prideful Dragons and the aloof Elf's put status for him in their domain.
Although the battle ended, the aftereffects were so much that it took the whole Mortal realm 600 years just to go out of that war shadow and form a new circle of life begins, especially since the heaven blessed warriors were going to appear.
"Not being able to skip the introduction part is a bother" this was Tony first thought after the big introduction, after getting a hold of himself he started observing his surroundings with interest.
He was in a dreamy place surrounded by clouds, beautiful birds are chirping with a melody can be described as heavenly and many shining objects in the surroundings yet what captured Tony attention the most was the lady that appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, it was a woman in a simple white dress yet her beauty was unmatched it was to the point of making him losing focus for a few seconds before he shook that feeling while rising his guard to the max.
"This woman is a dangerous one. If she was a living being, defeating me would take her merely a second" For him, losing focus was a shame because he trained himself to always be calm and have a clear mind.
"What an interesting fellow you're in the presence of a high tier being yet you kept your composition and regained your focus very fast as expected of a blessed one" the way her eyes looked at him, gives him chills because it was as if she was looking at a pet or a toy.
"what should I call you young warrior"
"Lady goddess you can call me Mad Demon" since it was his nickname he chose for the game.
"A dominating name worthy of a warrior" She then raised her white like a jade hand and eight illusion-like figures appeared in front of Tony.
"In the Ancient Myth there are eight classes you can choose from and if you like to hear my opinion I will tell you which ones have the most comparability with you" those simple words shocked him because in the guide it said that the angle will only tell you about the classes and won't bother with you anymore, yet the goddess in front of him not only talked she even want to give Tony personal advice which gives him both shock and delight.
"It seems my performance when she appeared extraordinary and this is my prize for the performance" then he suddenly thought of someone "that fucker will have the same treatment"
Rising his head "I will be happy to hear your opinion my lady goddess" those words made her smile, with a wave of her hand the illusion like figures go from eight to four "with Guardia knight, summoner, priest, and hunter you got 00 compatibilities and it will be harder for you to ascend higher levels" she then pointed at the rest "the swordsman berserk class has the best probability with you and after it comes to the thief and mage but I recommend to you choosing the swordsman because it's like tailored for you and your ascending will be easy" coming to her she stopped talking and just kept waiting for his decision.
"Well it was my choice from the beginning and your words boosted my confidence" then he touched the swordsman illusion and light descended on him for five seconds after that his attire changed completely.
"Damn I look badass in this set" the Set was all white with some faint array design around it, consisting of six five: head, chest, hands, legs, and feet. But what attracted his attention was the blad.
It looked like a katana with a thin 4 inches blade that looked smooth and sharp, the blade was black with red runs around it and the handle was white with gemstone.
The moment his eye met the katana he already fell in love with it because it was the ideal type of sword he loved the most.
After brandishing the sword and swinging it around he impatiently pressed on the description button, but what he didn't see was that the moment the sword appeared the goddess was shocked for a second before going to her normal state again.
[Name: Humming blade]
[Type: unique]
Durability: 110/110 Attack Power: 15 Attack speed: 10
* Deals an additional 30% damage to monsters.
* Increases critical rate by 50% when attacking monsters.
* The chance of a monster dropping items when killed is increased by 20%
"What the hell I'm not even level 0 yet I got such an op sword my road will be much easier than others like this" the sword stats brought him a huge joy because it will be easy for him to hunt monsters since he plans on going solo through the whole game and not joining no guild or a group.
"You're really lucky this sword will definitely bring you many surprises so never lose it" the goddess suddenly interrupted his happy moment, this made him realize that this sword is everything but simple.
"So which one of the three regions do you want to start in"
"Hmmm I never thought about this so just send me to where there are too many fights and chaos" pointing the sword to the sky he replied arrogantly with a smirk on his face.
"That's what I expected from you. I hope the next time we meet you'll be standing at the top" then she waved her hand and he disappeared from there.
"To meet many interesting fellows on the first day is something" the way she behaved makes one question if she's a living being or just an NPC.
"But to think he got that sword after it was lost for many years, the three realms are finally going to lose their peace"
The teleportation ended and Tony found himself in a bustling village, the realistic of the world made his blood boil
"I will make this game tremble under my feet"
"Worthy of calling it the gaming industry masterpiece" looking at the villagers walking around him and the kids playing, everything looked no different than the real world. Especially when he saw how everyone was looking at him appearing out of nowhere which scared some kids who kept looking at him with some fear and amazement.Tony pressed on his player avatar to check it out and it displayed his current attributes, in the Ancient Myth there are five attributes each that govern an area.*Strength: Strength increases Physical Attack Power and the weight behind each attack.*Agility: measures Dexterity, reflexes, and balance Attack Speed and Movement Speed.*Constitution: measures endurance, health, stamina, and vital force.*Vitality: Vitality increases the recovery rate of MP and HP*Intelligence: Intelligence increases Magical Attack Power and maximum MPAfter he understood it and distributed the beginning 15 basic attributes his av
After getting over the joy of creating a skill he checked his avatar panel and distributed the 10 free attributes he got from leveling two times, it displayed[Name: Mad Demon][swordsman]Lv 02: 00/200 expHp: 110Mp: 8St: 10Ag: 10Con: 7Int: 5Vit: 8"Not bad I'm leading the race right now compared to the others" with just his St and Ag right now he could defeat anyone easily.He then open his inventory bag and saw the two items and 40 silver coins that the system rewarded him<
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[Name: Mad Demon] (swordsman)Lvl 01: 00%HP: 93MP: 7St: 9Ag: 9Con: 6Int: 4Vit: 7
"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
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
