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. Fire everywhere. Arrow rain. Body pieces. Scream in pain. 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. Player, do you want to be one of them?"
The sentence ended a series of introductions to 'Martial Universe Online', the next second Aaron was able to open his eyelids and see a medieval-style urban street bustling with human traffic. But as far as the eye could see, there were neither elves nor dwarves.
"Ah, this town doesn't seem to have changed a bit," Aaron muttered as he looked at the surrounding buildings, almost unchanged from the first time he set foot in Gray Stone Town when he was still playing 'Martial Earth Online'.
Aaron then looked at his own body. Leather armor was slung over his chest, a large duffel bag behind his back, and a one-meter steel sword at his waist.
Many other players who happened to pass by looked at him with interested eyes. Aaron knew they had bad intentions as he had a lot of good equipment despite being at a low level. It is a very open opportunity.
Before Aaron could think about them any further, a navigation bar suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Name: Aaron
Race: Human
Job: Sword Cultivator
Physical type: Iron Dragon
Physical Strength: 30
Soul power: 30
Resistance: 100
Phone: 1000
Mana: 0
Armor resistance: 100]
Aaron let out a long breath after he read that. All the abilities he got were low. He only obtained the Iron Dragon physical type, a level of all Dragon physical types, namely Iron Dragon, Steel Dragon, Gold Dragon, Diamond Dragon, and Sky Dragon.
Determination of physical type does depend on the original physical condition of the player himself, while Aaron can't be said to have a stout body after not getting enough nutrition in prison. But the good news is the physical type can still be improved.
When Aaron swiped the information bar, another navigation appeared.
[OPPORTUNITY!
Sword Cultivator, our city has a job opening for you. Come to the Diamond Sword Pavilion in the southern part of the city for more information.]
Aaron frowned. It is very uncommon for job vacancies to be immediately offered to novice players who are just entering the game. Could it be that due to the increase in the number of orcs and goblins so Gray Stone Town desperately needed warriors?
However, Aaron was still interested in the offer. He had to kill as many orcs or goblins as possible to get out of this game. And if it can be done while raising money, why not?
All he knows, MMORPG games like this can make money by buying and selling equipment and heirloom weapons, and a certain amount of coins in the game can be exchanged for real money.
Aaron checked his pocket and found some gold and silver coins there, so he decided to stop by a bar to buy some food and gather information about the city.
***
Inside the bar, Gray Stone Town.
Aaron ordered a pint and a beef thigh at the town bar. He reserved a table in the corner of the bar, because only then could he monitor the rest of the bar without being the center of attention. One by one the conversations containing information came from NPCs and fellow players in the bar.
Aaron noticed a guild of swordsmen sitting chatting at one table.
"Goblins and orcs have surged to an unreasonable degree. I was attacked by a hundred knife-wielding orcs at the same time, so I had to K.O. and gave up a lot of valuable equipment."
"It's not just you. I also heard a lot of stories about beating up the orcs and goblins. They are too many but also smart, really difficult."
"That's why we have to form a guild and work together if we don't want K.O. In this city, we will exterminate those damn orcs and goblins and get paid. Our guild was specially invited by the mayor to help them suppress the numbers of orcs and goblins."
Aaron rubbed his chin with a faint smile. If Gray Stone Town has brought in a guild from outside, how bad is the situation? The young man was very curious.
***
Diamond Sword Pavilion, Gray Stone Town.
Aaron sat staring at his sword as he waited his turn. As it turned out, countless players had applied to become warriors to exterminate orcs and goblins. The pay that will be given is not small, one orc or goblin head is worth five silver coins. That kind of money was enough to buy good food for one day in Gray Stone Town.
When other players came to make money, Aaron came with the pure intention of eliminating the orcs and goblins. The money he gets from killing orcs or goblins will be used to buy more capable equipment and weaponry, so he can kill even more of those creatures!
"On behalf of Aaron, please come into the room."
When his name was called, Aaron rushed off.
In front of him, was a five-meter-high door made of gems. Seeing that, Aaron gulped. Such a big gem door, who can open it?
"Your name is Aaron?"
Aaron immediately turned his head and found a small guard near the big door. The sizes of the two are so contrasting!
"Yes," Aaron answered.
"Come in!" The guard grabbed the doorknob before pushing it slowly, and a miracle happened...
The door creaked and opened!
Aaron stepped into the room. To him, what the guards did was not very impressive. In the world of 'Martial Earth Online', a person of small stature could even lift a huge hill. Physical strength is not very decisive, but soul strength is very decisive.
If a person has great soul power, then he will be at the top of everything.
When dubbed as The Unmatched Sword Master in 'Martial Earth Online', Aaron's soul power reached 10 million. Whereas currently, he only had 30. That comparison was too far.
Inside the room, Aaron found a beautiful woman in tight clothes sitting on a large chair. Seen from anywhere, the beauty looked like a sword cultivator.
Aaron smiled again. Placing a beautiful woman to offer a job was a very effective strategy, especially since almost all of the sword cultivators in this Diamond Sword Pavilion were men.
"Your name is Aaron?" asked the beauty.
"Yes."
"Please sit over there." The beauty pointed to a small stool right in front of her desk.
Aaron complied without asking much.
"I will explain the details of the work," said her. "You will go to the forest around the city to hunt orcs and goblins. Every orc or goblin head you manage to get must be deposited into this place, the Diamond Sword Pavilion. We'll give you five pieces of silver for each head you bring."
Aaron nodded. He had known beforehand about this rule from the conversation of the sword cultivators outside the room.
"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
Aaron surprised many people when he returned to Gray Stone City. How could they not? He bound 160 orc heads like long chains and dragged them through the city streets. The sight was too gruesome!Luckily, international rules do not allow MMORPG games to create too many child characters in their world. There aren't moral restrictions in this game. The players could do whatever they pleased!Thus, the sight of Aaron dragging the many severed orc heads did not reach the children.When he arrived at the Diamond Sword Pavilion, the sight was even more shocking. Most of the people gathered here were assassins who hunted orcs and goblins, just like Aaron. Seeing the number of orc heads brought by the young man, they couldn't help but open their jaws.What Aaron got was equivalent to the results got by a guild of 5 players with at least level 4. Whereas the young man was only by himself and still at level 1...Unbelievable by any possibility!People speculated that Aaron had trapped a guild s
Aaron accepted the tool but his face did not show any kind of happy expression. Seen from any angle, Sir Janson's tool already looked old and rusty. So, how could he believe that it still can be worked?Seeing Aaron's expression, Sir Janson said again, "If you don't want it, I can take it back. As long as you know, I also don't want this tool to get damaged after you use it."Aaron coughed from choking on his saliva. How could Sir Janson be more worried about his tools than the player's safety? Didn't NPCs generally put the players' safety above all else?And, what was the point of Alice's medal of appreciation? It should have given Aaron a little privilege of honor from the NPCs. Now, look at how respectful Sir Janson is.However, right now Aaron didn't have much of a choice. The tool of the shameless old man was bad, but it would be better than not using it."Alright, I accept it and I'll be right back with the Black Dragon Mushroom. But if I die because your tool is inadequate, wha
"Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!"Aaron couldn't stop from swearing. He continued to run as fast as he could, but the roar of the Giant Angry Stone was getting closer from behind him.Aaron began to think about moving to a hidden place instead of running towards the city, at least then he could secure all his equipment after being killed by the monster.So Aaron turns towards the grove of trees. His feet jumped over shrubs and sharp dry branches. Even though this is a game world, players can still feel the pain!But, Aaron now changed his running direction when he suddenly saw several sword cultivators darting towards him from the front!Aaron just wanted to avoid the players by moving to a hidden place, but why were there so many sword cultivators in this place?At the moment, Aaron's entire hope had been dashed. He quickly started planning what he should do if the worst happened: he died and lost his EXP, Black Dragon Mushroom, all his money, and even his favorite armor.They-those sword cultivat
