2024-10-29 19:42:56It was nighttime, inside a small house in a crowded, run-down neighborhood.
Aaron placed his bag on the floor after pressing the light switch. His eyes were filled with tears as he looked around. He had left this room for over ten years, so was now in a completely unkempt state!
Aaron let out a long breath. He could only swallow his misery.
The most famous player in the entire world, adored by millions, now languishing in his shabby little room in deplorable conditions. No one would have ever guessed it!
Ten years ago, Aaron was a swordsman cultivation legend in a MMORPG game called ‘Martial Earth Online’. They dubbed him as Unmatched Sword Master for his unbelievable swordplay skills. Aaron never suffered a single defeat!
“What should I do now?” The light of his life had vanished to the end, and he was desperate.
Aaron took a deep breath. He glanced at the apple-cutting knife lying on the floor of his room. The knife had rusted, but it’s still sharp enough to slice through human skin...
‘Knock! Knock! Knock!’
Aaron’s reverie was broke when his ears caught the sound of knocking on his house’s door. He strolled towards the door and looked out through the small round glass on the door.
He could see that a charming young woman was standing in front of his door in a formal attire. Aaron’s face immediately paled. He thought that she was a messenger from Martial Online Company who came to collect his debt!
“Is anyone inside?” The girl asked in a loud voice.
Aaron adjusted his breathing. Only when his mind calmed down, he reply, “My life will end by the moment. Leave me alone!”
There was silence for a little time before the girl’s voice finnaly heard again, “I didn’t come with bad intentions. Let me in, and we can talk well.”
“What did you want to talk about?” Aaron replied.
“Something very-very important, related to your debts, but not to collect it,” said the mysterious girl. “I can’t reveal that in this place, so let me come in first.”
About his debts, but not to collect it? A little apprehensive, Aaron opened the door, holding the girl back from entering his room.
“What’s wrong with my debts?” Aaron asked immediately.
“Mr. Aaron, can I come in to your room?” The girl asked back in a flat tone.
“My room is very dirty.” Aaron smiled bitterly. He thought that the girl should have been able to figure out that after not coming home for over ten years, her house was not in a state to receive guests.
“Not a problem.” Having finished saying that, the girl stormed in. Aaron couldn’t hold her back anymore.
By raising a pair of eyebrows that were beautifully arched like an archery bow, the girl had shown her surprise at the condition of Aaron’s room, but she did not comment at all.
“I am Leen from Martial Online Company. I’ve been privy to all of your problems regarding those debts. Under these causes, you should be in a huge miserable. As I knew, you don’t have even 100 Credits right now.”
Aaron could only smile bitterly without being able to reply to anything. The words of the girl named Leen were the absolute truth...
“Are you here to collect my debt, Miss?” Aaron asked again.
“No, I’m not, as I say to you before. I’m here to make an offer.” From inside her bag, Leen took out a helmet that was familiar in Aaron’s eyes. “Ten years ago, you ruined our company. We lost ‘Martial Earth Online’. But right at three years ago, we created a replacement, which is much bigger and more amazing more than ‘Martial Earth Online’, that is ‘Martial Universe Online’.
“Even so, there was a system flaw in the game that our programmers could not fix. It was the increase in the number of Goblins and Orcs beyond what the players could handle. Many complaints have come to us, and we must take action as soon as possible if we don’t want to go bankrupt again.
“Since the system can not fix the flaw, we must eliminate manually the Goblins and Orcs. We have seen your reputation as a skilled swordsman. You were once dubbed as Unmatched Swords Master. So we want you to help us reduce the number of Goblins and Orcs. One Goblin or Orc will be worth 1 Credit for you.”
Aaron knitted his eyebrows. If the offer was like that, then to pay off his entire debt, he would need to kill 700,000,000 Goblins or Orcs!
But Aaron's answer very shocked Leen. “I don’t want to raise the sword for your company anymore. Ten years behind the prison is enough for me, while I’m not doing what your company sued. ”
However, the girl remained calm. Literally, she has guessed that Aaron is never easy to be conquered.
“It’s easy. If you don’t want to, then you must pay your entire debt to the Martial Online Company within seven days.”
“Seven days? Seriously! You guys intend to frame me?”
“To be more precise, you don’t have many options right now. Don’t you know what you’re facing with right now? You’re facing with the second largest company in the world!” Leen smiled cruelly while glancing at the rusty apple-cutting knife on the floor of Aaron’s room. “You don’t have to make a decision right now. I will leave this helmet for you. You agree to the offer if you activate it. I will also leave some food money for you to use at least the next seven days.”
Leen placed the virtual reality helmet as well as a large envelope of money on the very dusty table. After that, he walked towards the door but stopped before actually going out.
“Oh, and well, it’s looks like you’ll be so exhausted so you won’t be able to think straight if you clean this room alone. I’ll send some guy to help you.”
Aaron was silent as he stared at Leen’s back, which was getting away from him. Only then did he take a long breath.

Aaron checked the Virtual Reality helmet that Leen had given him. The shape is not much different from the one he had when he was still playing 'Martial Earth Online'.In the past, Aaron bought it for 1,000 Credits. It used up all his savings meant for his later marriage. He thought his money savings would be better used to support his progress since he never found a mate.Now, when Aaron doesn't have over 50 Credits, he gets the helmet for free. Plus the money in the big envelope. Out of curiosity, Aaron rushed to open it.A moment later, his eyes widened in surprise. "This is all… 1,000 Credits!"That's 1,000 Credits, and Leen said earlier as if that wasn't enough money to eat for a week. What kind of joke is this?With 1,000 Credits, Aaron can get delicious food for three whole years!Letting out a deep breath, Aaron just shook his head before putting back all the money. A card flew down when the envelope was lifted. On reflex, Aaron scowled at him before hitting the floor."This i

When Aaron opened his eyes, he realized that he was in a dim all-white room.Suddenly a woman's voice was very authoritative."Hello, Player! Welcome to 'Martial Universe Online', I'm your AI guide, Natasha. I will answer all your questions in the game if you needed. But before we go any further, you must choose the type of race you want.""Human race," Aaron answered matter-of-factly."Race selection complete!

The scenery in the market then changed to a view of caves filled with many baby orcs!"But recently, the orcs have regrouped to attack humans. They also cooperated with the goblin race. Right now, attack after attack from goblins as well as orcs swept through the villages and even small towns of humans."Not only that, they have no qualms about attacking the major cities of elves and dwarves! In the end, the three races, namely humans, elves, and dwarves, had no other choice but to cooperate and join forces against the attacks of the orcs and goblins!"The scene again turned into a battlefield.

The humans, elves, and dwarves seemed to raise their weapons to fight together!"Anyone can be a great hero to many folks, his name will be remembered forever.

"If you accept, it means you agree to all the risks of this assignment. Your death is beyond our responsibility. Understood?" The beauty said again, now more serious.Once again Aaron nodded and replied, "I understand.""Please accept this plaque." Out of thin air, the beauty took out a small plaque, Aaron took it without hesitation.[YOU RECEIVED THE FIRST MISSION![The level is open!][STATUSLevel: 1Physical strength: 30Soul power: 31Endurance: 100HP: 1000Mana: 0Armor resistance: 100]Aaron smiled with satisfaction. This is just like in the game of 'Martial Earth Online', where a new level started after the player accepted the first mission. If the player wasn't serious, he wouldn't have a level, and his status would be the same as an NPC.The young man didn't wait any longer. He exited the Diamond Sword Pavilion and ran towards the nearby forest of this city. Aaron had already memorized the streets of Gray Stone City in his head, so he was able to reach the forest in a brief

Everyone in that place turned their heads towards one place and found a beautiful woman who was in charge of orc and goblin affairs within the city. When they saw the beauty, everyone immediately bowed their heads, except Aaron who didn't feel the need to do that. The woman was the same person Aaron had met this morning."You killed all these orcs and goblins?" The beauty asked."Yes. All of this," Aaron replied."But how come?" The beauty frowned, showing her confusion. "You are a beginner, and your level is no more than the first level. This is unnatural."In his mind, Aaron chuckled. The NPC in this game had incredible intelligence. She could take issue with things that were beyond reason. Could this be the developer's way of preventing cheats from the players? Or is it just to add a sense of realism?You won't find anything like this in 'Martial Earth Online'!However, Aaron replied, "You don't need to ask that, Miss. I just completed the mission by bringing you all the heads of t

"Young Master, are you sure to buy it? This armor is completely broken ...."Aaron nodded once. That was a sufficient answer. He has to get that armor, no matter what it costs.But the servant thought otherwise. He thought Aaron was poor to dare to buy armor that should have been thrown away. Perhaps the young man was hoping to get it at a cheap price, or even for free.With a condescending look, the servant said, "You can get it for 1 silver. But that's not the price for the armor, but rather for my precious time that was wasted in keeping you company. This armor is trash, it should be food for sewer rats, so I dare not put any price on it."Aaron smiled awkwardly and took out a gold piece. "Although this armor is trash, I still bought it in your shop. Unless this shop of yours is a trash can, I won't take this armor without paying."Aaron gave his money and took the armor from the waiter's hand. He immediately left the shop, leaving the waitress stunned because she didn't expect Aar

"Roarrrr!"The roar of a savage rabbit broke the silence of the forest when Aaron managed to plunge the sword into his quarry. In no time, the poor rabbit died before giving Aaron some experience."Ah, you're just bothering me." Aaron wiped his sweaty forehead. "I didn't want to deal with you at all, but you attacked me first. Don't blame me if I have to kill you."Killing wild animals would indeed give players more EXP than killing orcs or goblins, but Aaron's goal was not to hunt wild animals or anything like that. He was only looking for orcs or goblins to pay off all his debts before quitting playing any kind of video game.However, the nuisance of wild animals is unavoidable. They wouldn't be called "beasts" if they didn't attack humans for no reason. When faced with them, there are only two options: fight or die.Aaron didn't want to die for such a silly matter, so he had no other choice but to fight back, even if it cost him a lot of time."Bring up status!"[STATUSLevel: 1Ph

That's a big mockery! As ugly as orcs were, they still had peace. But, their demeanor always ruined the peace of others, hence Aaron calling them devoid of peace."You will pay for this!" the orc leader roared. "Finish him!"The rest of his men shouted before running towards Aaron. The young man faced them calmly, as he still believed in the swordplay skills he had once mastered.When the first five orcs were within his reach, Aaron directly slashed his sword. The power he possessed was immense, as the perfectly measured slash. The five orcs died without giving the young man any resistance.Aaron didn't stand still as another dozen orcs moved toward him. His eyes zeroed in on the weakest of the orcs before running full force towards them while blaming!He could take out up to eight orcs with a single slash. But at the same time, there were dozens of orcs attacking him, so there were some attacks from them that Aaron couldn't dodge.Without a shield, Aaron could only attack without par

Mordecai's Weakness
Aaron went to a cave to rest after a long day of hunting. This was his only chance to get out of the game so as not to get a scolding from Leen, but Aaron held back when he heard something from the deepest part of the cave."Hehehe."It was the sound of laughter.Aaron took out the Nightfeather Sword and took a stance, then sharply hissed, "Who's there?""Hehe... Aaron, am I not the person you've been looking for all this time?"Aaron threw his spit on the ground as soon as he recognized the voice. "Mordecai... I've been confident in my current strength.""Oh, of course. Facing you, I am but an ant standing on the feet of a giant elephant." Mordecai let out a compliment that was much more akin to sarcasm.

However, Mordecai suddenly turned into a grain of light and disappeared.Dariowyn, the knight who was Aaron's servant, came to him and gave advice. "I saw your fight with Mordecai. You have amazing abilities, but your level is still not high enough to deal with him. I suggest that you raise your level to at least 700."Aaron nodded in agreement, and vowed to increase his level as quickly as possible.
