Ten days had passed since the events in the cave. Aaron, who was previously a mediocre player, had now reached level 485. During those ten days, he joined a strong party and successfully completed many difficult quests. Every time he successfully completed a quest or killed a boss, he felt a great sense of pride and satisfaction.However, Aaron felt that he needed to reach level 500 as soon as possible. He wanted to face Mordecai as soon as possible. Therefore, he decided to hunt alone, despite missing his friends in the party."Are you sure you want to leave the party?" his friend Jake asked."Yes, I need to reach level 500 as soon as possible," Aaron replied."Alright, I understand. We all hope you can achieve it. Don't forget to visit our camp if you need help," said Jake while giving a hug.After parting from the party, Aaron looked for a place to hunt. He chose an area that was very difficult and full of powerful monsters. He wanted to try out his abilities that he had just devel
Aaron stood before a large, solid rock cliff, staring at it with fierce determination. He wanted to test his new skill, the Shadow Magic Swords technique he had just learned. Aaron felt confident, but also nervous at the same time."I have to prove that I've really mastered this technique," Aaron said to himself.Aaron took out his sword and watched carefully. The sword seemed to shimmer, as if it was giving off a glow of its own. Aaron felt the energy spreading from his sword, flowing throughout his body. He swung his sword towards the cliff."[Shadow Magic Swords: Splitting Gems]!"Immediately, there was a loud rumbling sound, the rock cliff split and collapsed into small pieces. Aaron was shocked by the power generated by the Shadow Magic Swords technique he had just mastered. He felt amazed and impressed."It's amazing," Aaron said proudly. "This technique is truly amazing."Aaron smiled with satisfaction, feeling confident that he was ready to face Mordecai, perhaps even more so.
Aaron and Geldrick looked up at the dozen desert raiders that had appeared before them. They were masked and armed with swords and spears that looked sharp and dangerous."Never mind, why don't you have enough of these gold pieces?" said Geldrick, holding up a bag of gold and throwing it at the raiders.The leader of the desert pirate band spat into the sand, then said with a grin, "This bag of gold will never be enough. We want all your treasures without exception. Leave everything you have here, even including your clothes, then leave this desert naked and never show your ass in front of us again.""I don't think we can avoid a fight this time," said Aaron, with a serious face."That's right. They're notoriously vicious and cruel. No matter how much gold we give them, they'll still attack us," said Geldrick, pulling his sword from its sheath.The desert raiders seemed to move forward cautiously, but then they shouted and charged at Aaron and Geldrick. A fierce fight began, with thei
Geldrick began the story of his father."My father was an adventurer searching for a thumb-sized red crystal stone guarded by a giant gorilla-shaped Spirit Beast. The stone is said to have great magical powers," Geldrick said as he stared into the campfire.Geldrick sat with his body tense on the boulder in front of the fire. Aaron sat beside him and popped a piece of meat into his mouth, then nodded along to Geldrick's story."My father spent more than ten years on that quest," Geldrick said, his eyes looking off into the distance. "He traveled to all corners of this world, battling the most terrible monsters and facing the most difficult obstacles."Aaron noticed the solemn expression on his friend's face. "And yet, he finally gave up?" he asked.Geldrick nodded languidly. "Yes, he finally gave up. He said that he didn't want to be a burden on our family and spend the rest of his life searching for it."Aaron nodded sympathetically. "That must have been very difficult for your fathe
The caravan continued to drive through the hot and endless desert, heading towards their destination city.Inside the caravan, the atmosphere was claustrophobic, hot and noisy as people talked and moved around.Aaron and Geldrick sat together at the back of the caravan, protected from direct sunlight. They were talking about their journey and planning strategies to avoid the dangers that might lie ahead.However, the caravan suddenly stopped in the middle of the desert. The leader of the caravan ordered his men to take all the sheep that were huddled together blocking the road. Little did they know, however, that the sheep were merely a trap set by the robbers.No sooner had the workers started picking up the sheep than a group of robbers came out of their hiding place under the sand before starting to attack the caravan. They came quickly and without warning, leaving the guards surprised and overwhelmed."What is it?" asked Geldrick when he heard the commotion."The pirate group, a
That night they slept peacefully, but they still felt sad and worried about the fate of the village that had been attacked. The next morning, they decided to continue their journey and find out more about what happened in the village.They arrived at the village at noon and saw that the village had been completely destroyed. The buildings had been demolished and the ground looked like a battlefield. They saw a few people who were still alive and they decided to ask about what happened.They learned that the village had been attacked by an unknown armed group. Many people died and the survivors were forced to leave their homes. Aaron and Geldrick felt sad and angry at the group and vowed to help stop such crimes in the future.They decided to help the survivors and provide food and water to those in need. They also helped to rebuild some of the damaged buildings, helped repair roads, and improved the village's water system.Aaron and Geldrick spent a few weeks in the village, helping t
However, they didn't know that another danger was lurking around them. While they were resting, they were suddenly attacked by a group of powerful and ruthless pirates. The pirates appeared with sharp weapons and their faces were filled with anger and hatred.Aaron and Geldrick soon realized that they had to fight for their survival. They grabbed their weapons and prepared for battle. However, the pirates were not easy opponents to defeat. They had high fighting skills and tremendous strength.The fight started quickly. Aaron and Geldrick fought tooth and nail against all the pirates. They dodged every attack and tried to counterattack. However, the pirates' strength was too great and they were not easily defeated.Geldrick was hit by an attack from one of the pirates and was seriously injured. He almost died if Aaron didn't help him immediately. Aaron felt very worried and panicked seeing his friend injured. However, he did not give up and continued to fight with great courage and de
Aaron and Geldrick stood by the Spirit Beast's corpse, breathing rapidly and with palpitations. They looked around and realized that the forest was full of dangers that awaited them. They took a few moments to catch their breath and recover their strength before continuing their journey.After a few hours of walking, they arrived at a small village located at the end of the forest. The village was bustling with activity, people walking here and there busily. Aaron and Geldrick decided to visit the village to buy some supplies and recharge their batteries.As they walked along the main road, they saw a little girl crying on the side of the road. They approached her and asked her what was going on. The little girl said that her mother was sick and she needed expensive medicine to cure her.Aaron and Geldrick felt compassion and decided to help the little girl. They took some money from their pockets and gave it to the little girl. The little girl looked very grateful and thanked them ma
