Aaron passed the night quite well. With the large flames, his body did not get any shiver from the cold. Several low-level beasts attacked him throughout the night, but none of them were able to get the young man in trouble.When the morning almost came, SnowWolf and all men of his guild re-entered the game. Their eyes almost closed. Clearly lacking rest.“Time in this game goes faster than in the real world,” SnowWolf said. “We only slept for two hours.”SnowWolf then explained that the orcs became weak when the sun was shining, so they must not waste time and continue hunting.They also divided up the tasks. SnowWolf, Hans, and Aaron were tasked with hunting the orcs, while the rest hunted the Destroyer Beast.“The price of Destroyer Beast meat is on the rise as an NFT item in the marketplace. I decided to slightly change the quest of this expedition. But don’t worry, Hans and I will still be with you to hunt down the orcs.”Aaron countered by saying there was no need for them both
The battle broke out right then and there. Aaron immediately took a step forward and cut down the orcs as best he could. SnowWolf and Hans did the same.With the Night Sky Sword, Aaron was able to kill three orcs in one slash, something that SnowWolf and Hans couldn’t even do. They were only able to kill two orcs in a single slash.Martial Universe Online focuses on one’s martial skills, so the level is not the only determinant of victory, but also the fighting technique’s players.For a Swordsman, a precise and correct slash will do untold damage. That was why Aaron could kill more orcs than SnowWolf and Hans, even though they had much higher levels than him.However, no matter how good Aaron was, he still wouldn’t be able to win when faced with thousands of crazy orcs at once. Attacks came from multiple directions at the same time, leaving him unable to fend them off. His HP dropped drastically.“Take this!” SnowWolf threw a pill at Aaron after seeing him in a dying state.Aaron dir
Aaron knew that no matter how smart the Orc Knights were, they would still be very easy to be angered. Plus, everybody knew Orc Knights had never trusted anyone but themselves.When forging a large army of orcs, the human race often achieved victory by pitting them against each other, resulting in warfare within the orc army itself.Aaron participated in that great battle and became the main brain. The experience made him know many weaknesses of the orcs. One of them was their uncontrollable anger.“We are not afraid!” The group of orcs who defected began to call out loudly and took out their weapons.Brandishing a sword at the leader was an unpardonable act of defiance. The five Orc Knights were furious.“KILL THEM ALL!”In the blink of an eye, a battle broke out. The orcs attacked each other randomly, barely able to distinguish between friend and foe.In that chaotic state, Aaron sneaked around nimbly to pick up all the drop items which were left by SnowWolf and Hans before leaving
"Leaving town?"It was not common for a novice player who had not even reached level 10 to leave the city where he was resurrected. The world outside human civilization was extremely harsh, if one did not have enough strength leaving the city would only bring misery."Yes. I have to hunt many orcs, but The Vast Gray Stone Fields is not a friendly environment for me." Aaron replied with a bitter smile, the reason why he left the city was not that he felt The Vast Gray Stone Fields was too mild, but rather the opposite."The world outside is not what you think. Destroyer Beasts and Spirit Beasts roam around and can devour you faster than a flash of lightning. On top of that, many Wild Vagabonds are roaming around and often looking for trouble."To know, Wild Vagabonds are NPCs that have leveling abilities like the players. However, they live in the forest and often get into trouble with other travelers. They rarely visit towns to buy things and rely on stolen goods to survive.In some c
Aaron stopped his horse and waited by the side of the road until he saw the group of chariots approaching him. As the distance between them dwindled, a bodyguard at the forefront signaled the entire party to stop before rushing over to Aaron on his horse. “Young swordsman, could you step out of the way for a moment until our group passes? Not that I suspect you, but I must ensure the safety of my entourage,” the bodyguard said politely but also intimidating. “If you don’t mind, I’d like to join your party.” Aaron immediately conveyed his intentions without further ado. “I can promise that as long as I am with your group, I will contribute my strength to ensure the safety of all of you.” The bodyguard looked Aaron up and down. His appearance was indeed that of a swordsman, but he looked quite pitiful because of the weathered armor and dull sword. The bodyguard couldn’t be sure whether Aaron had any qualifications with such an appearance. “During the journey, we’ve lost a few members
Laughing slightly, Arthur handed one of the wine jugs to Aaron. At the same time, the door of a horse-drawn carriage opened. Guards arrived and immediately placed some wooden beams as stairs under the carriage door.A moment later, a girl with a charming face walked down the stairs, lifting her long white dress. Although the night was quite dark and the only light came from the bonfire, Aaron could still see that the noble girl had a beauty that was far above average.Compared to Leen, the girl’s appearance was only slightly below her.The girl glanced at Aaron briefly with her soft eyes before continuing her journey towards the campfire.“She’s the noble princess I mentioned earlier,” Arthur said. “And you’re the only man who didn’t drool when he first saw her.”Aaron just shrugged before taking a sip from the wine in the cup.“Aren’t you the least bit curious about her?” Arthur continued.“Oh, well, what’s her name?” Aaron asked finally. He smiled a little awkwardly.“Rossly Rosetta
Getting a manual for the first time in this game, Aaron’s face flushed with happiness, looking like a child who was rewarded with a box full of chocolate peanuts.“Sister, it’s time for dinner.” A young woman approached Princess Rossly.“Yes, just serve everything. We’ll eat together with this young man,” the elegant woman replied warmly.“Sister Rosetta, I don’t want to contradict you, but this man is nothing more than a streetwalker who hitchhikes and burdens our entourage. He is nothing more than a parasite. He does not deserve to dine with you, not even with our guards.”“Sharon! Watch your mouth!” Princess Rossly snapped at the woman before turning to Aaron. “Please don’t listen to what my sister says. She’s just too young to understand how to respect others. We will still eat together.”Before Aaron could open his mouth, the woman cut him off again.“What are you saying, sis? I don’t know how to respect others?” Sharon looked unhappy. “Okay, I admit that I don’t have the slighte
Not far away, Princess Rossly was just about to board the carriage after finishing breakfast when she heard the hysterical Arthur. She had never seen the head squire behave so unruffled before, so whatever was making him hysterical at the moment was very important. Immediately, Princess Rossly approached him to question what was going on.“Mr. Arthur, what has happened?”“Princess Rossly, I’m sorry to make you anxious. There’s nothing urgent here. However, you must not believe this.”Princess Rossly raised one eyebrow, waiting for an answer.“Aaron... he claims to have successfully mastered the first stage of the [Thunder Sword]!”Princess Rossly wrinkled her forehead. Seeming to doubt the statement. “Mr. Arthur, I hope you didn’t drink too much wine this morning.”“Princess, I’m not lying! I heard it myself from Aaron’s mouth.” Arthur immediately looked at Aaron.“Yes, Miss. I think I’ve successfully achieved the first stage of the [Thunder Sword].” Aaron smiled awkwardly in the face
