Going down the hill, they realized that there were so many Spirit Beast imprints imprinted very clearly on the wet ground."We're alone here, so all these Spirit Beasts are ours." Ruric rubbed his hands with interest as he looked at the imprints.Aaron just shook his head with a smile.Judging from the depth of the traces, Aaron could guess the average Spirit Beast in Mire Forest had a level above 300, just like the Giant Angry Stone they had just faced in Death Rock.Hunting down all the Spirit Beasts in this forest was an act of madness that was tantamount to suicide. However, Aaron of course knew that Ruric was only joking with his words."But, I think we should forget about Spirit Beasts," Ruric said suddenly. "I heard a rumor from the forums that you were collecting orc kill counts, so that's why you formed the Shadow Legion. Is that rumor true?""I can't answer that question, but it's true that I want to hunt orcs now," Aaron said casually as if such a question did not burden hi
In an increasingly chaotic situation, Ruric attempted to join the battle, but he found it difficult to adjust to the speed and agility of the orcs who turned on him.Luckily, Aaron assisted with his agile and ruthless moves in attacking the orcs. Aaron spun quickly, jumped, and cut off the legs of the orcs that were chasing him. In an instant, he managed to take out two orcs with one deadly attack. Then, with agile movements, he dodged another orc's sword blow and attacked him from behind with [Shadow Swords] that struck the orc right in the nape of the neck, killing not only the orc but the 20 orcs behind him.Suddenly, the sound of shouting broke the silence of the battle, grabbing a bit of Aaron and Ruric's attention.Another army of orcs came from the other side and immediately attacked them without a preamble. Ruric was getting more and more pressed because his abilities were not enough to survive in the siege of many orcs at once.Aaron immediately approached Ruric to protect
Aaron stood at the edge of the Mire Forest, his eyes staring into the distance as he contemplated his next move. The forest was a good hunting ground, but he felt he had run out of prey strong enough to support his development. She needed to find new challenges to keep pushing herself forward. It was then that he remembered hearing rumors of an even more terrifying forest nearby, filled with Spirit Beasts of unimaginable power.The forest was called Frostthorn!Without any further hesitation, Aaron set out in search of the forest. As he walked, the trees grew taller and darker, their branches stretching out like bony fingers. The ground became muddier, and the air became thick with a moist musky scent. Aaron knew that he was getting close.Finally, he arrived at the entrance of the mist-shrouded forest. He took a deep breath and stepped forward. The mist enveloped him, and he felt a chill run down his spine. As he continued to go deeper into the forest, he encountered a Spirit Beast
After chatting about their adventure, they decided to go to a notoriously dangerous dungeon. Of course, this time they were determined to level up as well as collect valuable items in the dungeon.The dungeon was located a few kilometers from where they were, so they had to travel quite a distance to get there. Their journey was not always smooth, sometimes they had to deal with some common types of Spirit Beasts. However, those beasts only met death because they had to deal with a very strong team.When they arrived near the entrance of the dungeon, they saw several other squads preparing to enter the dungeon.They said a friendly hello and started chatting with the other teams."You five want to enter the dungeon too?" asked a player with a large weapon on his back."Yeah, we just joined and want to test our skills in this dungeon," Mike replied."We're the same, and it seems like many other squads have the same goal," said a female player with a bow in her hand."True, this dunge
Meanwhile, Aaron seemed much calmer than the rest of the squad. To him, a few pearls were nothing extraordinary.However, he was happy that the fight with the strange scorpion had successfully brought him to level 300. It had even broken the record for the fastest level-up in the history of Martial Universe Online and Martial Earth Online.Aaron expected that in a few days, he would be summoned to Martial Online Company HQ for some award ceremony.Yet, while he was enjoying himself like this, a pop-up message suddenly appeared.Ding![Message from Leen:Aaron, I need you to leave the game right now before I perform the emergency protocol. I got a very bad report from the maid who is taking care of you: your body is convulsing and you have a high fever. I'm on my way to your house right now].After reading the message, Aaron couldn't help but smile bitterly. His current achievement was not without sacrifice; he had been in the game for two whole days, ignoring the system's warnings ab
Aaron choked on his saliva and coughed a few times after hearing Leen's words.They had only been separated for a few days, and Aaron finally felt a bit of freedom after all this time, but now Leen wanted to stay with him again!What a nightmare this was."Leen, I don't mean that...""No, this is not an offer for you." Leen no longer smiled as she took out a tablet from her bag. "Watch this video, and you'll understand."Aaron took the tablet from Leen's hand before a video then played."Aaron, this is John, the CEO of Martial Online Company. I've received a bad report about your health, and not just once or twice. We are very worried that something bad will happen to you, such as death. Then, with a heavy heart, I will ask Leen to stay with you. He will take care of you, COMPLETELY. As it seems, there is no one else who can take care of you and ensure your health except her. And by the way, you two might make a good couple. So why not?"The video message ended, leaving Aaron who gulp
Three days had passed. Aaron was supposed to have finished the recovery process today and returned to Martial Universe Online. However, Leen suddenly invited him to go to dinner at Red Crabs Claw, their favorite restaurant."We haven't hung out together for too long, have we?" Leen winked to tease Aaron.Scratching his head that wasn't itchy, Aaron recalled that he had to reach level 500 as soon as possible to face Mordekai. One night's worth of time didn't seem so precious to some people, but it was different for Aaron.He knew that his mission this time was much bigger than just paying off debt. Aaron was responsible for the lives of all Martial Universe Online players. So, how could he possibly slack off now?However, Leen still forced him because Aaron had become addicted to the game. Of course, she didn't know and should remain so, about the great mission Aaron was given by Dariowyn.After thinking for a while, Aaron finally decided to comply with Leen's request and go to dinner
Aaron sat in front of a small campfire in the middle of the forest and looked up at the night sky. He opened his character status menu and checked his level. "Level 400," he muttered, with a small smile on his lips. "Only 100 more levels to reach the big goal."Aaron then eyed the Night Sky Sword, his flagship sword. He knew the sword was already strong enough to fight many formidable enemies, but he also realized that it needed repairs to function optimally again."Night Sky Sword, I have to take it to the city for repairs," Aaron thought to himself. "I can't take any chances against Mordecai. I have to make sure that my sword is in the best condition possible."***Aaron entered Deadwood Town on his racehorse. He was shocked to see a very arid and neglected town. The ancient wooden buildings looked decayed and on the verge of collapse. There were no parks or green grass around, only dust and arid land that made him dumbfounded."What a strange city. There seems to be no life here,"
