2022-09-13 14:56:45At the end of the class Paul was quite calm, the only thing he needed was to go to the library to learn more about this world, however at the exit of the amphitheater Richard and his friends appeared.
They all had their wands and baculo, they didn't seem very calm about what happened.-Hey, are you looking for me?-What's wrong with you? How many books did you steal to improve yourself?Hearing that, Paul noted that it was true what the game evaluator he had seen that day had told him. The people here had intelligence of their own, so they didn't forget anything. They acted like real people. So he had to decide whether to fight them or not.One of the students grabbed him by the shirt to challenge him to fight.-Are you not so strong out here anymore?-I am strong, tell me, do you want to fight?He answered in a serious way and without any compassion.-You are stupid. You think I would lower myself to fight in the corridors with someone like you. How undignified. I Richard Vorbote have my principles.He and his group of friends walked out of the hallway and ignored him. Paul didn't really understand that attitude, so he left that place and headed for the library, he wanted to get ahead in the game as fast as he could.He noticed that people were still giving him dirty looks, perhaps because of the bad reputation he had earned by stealing that money.[...]On the way to the library, he noticed that several places in the city were already opening, and he could go look at them, but he decided not to go look. He wanted to level up first and then continue exploring the city.When he arrived at the library, he noticed that the people there were just like the ones at school. They gave him dirty looks and he avoided talking to them. He just went to look for several books among all the shelves.He grabbed two that talked about the game and took them to check out. The person who was in charge of the place. She was the same as the rest, so Paul didn't even look at her. He just felt that he was deducted almost 20,000 coins.It seemed like a lot of money to him, but it didn't matter. The knowledge he would have was necessary.Just by touching the book, the game immediately gave him all the information.Paul was heartbroken to get all that knowledge. He was not even 1% of the way through the story and this was a dark fantasy in which he had to be a hero. The only life he had left was not enough for the dangers he had to face. He only had to finish the school games and then he could go to several countries that were nearby and for this he would have to train more than everyone since his magic was not comparable to the nobles of this city.[...]The black-haired boy decided to read other books to learn to have more magic despite being a simple commoner, he knew that somewhere there had to be an instruction. Since he did not want to lose, he knew that events like these were not going to be repeated. It was the only way to get out of the city and advance in history.He lent dozens of books of advanced magic something cheap to improve a little more, but it did not have much effect at the time. Which was very hard for Paul, as he was hoping for something more.The boy stopped buying books and went home, since it was starting to get dark and according to the books he read at this time of the year monsters appear and take people of all social classes, but when he tried to leave he noticed that there was no one else in the street. Nor in the library. This is a bit scary for Paul, as he had read many urban stories and imagined many things. So he stayed inside the library without the person in charge noticing. He hid in a corner and hid. He didn't read any more books without permission, he wanted to avoid going down more reputation and just waited for the night to end.The city sounded like a ghost town, but strange footsteps began to be heard in several places. This puzzled Paul. He didn't even want to look out the window. There were urban legends that were probably true and he didn't want to live them.So he just analyzed his stats. He was currently level 18, and had learned many types of magic. The only problem was how little energy he had, so he had to wait more than a minute in battle to make four attacks again. There was no book for that. He thought that maybe if he advanced in history he could find something in another city.[...]The next day Paul went to school and surprisingly kings and nobles from other cities arrived. There were more guards than there usually were around this place. They looked at the young man and ignored him so he entered the school without any problems, but when he entered he noticed that there were no more people from other places, not only the nobles from other countries, so this was going to be more difficult for him.Paul only hoped not to meet with one of the kings, to avoid a fight that would lower the reputation he was trying to regain. He went to his living room amidst the looks of contempt from everyone. He had become accustomed to this situation, but it was starting to bother him a little. It was too annoying for him.The situation in the amphitheater did not change, he sat alone at a table again. No one even tried to talk to him. Even the professor avoided looking at him at that moment, but suddenly two students arrived who were apparently at the game event. Paul's attention was not drawn to them, but he was surprised to see them. The books he read gave him more abilities to see the power of the people in the city.Both kids were level 20, and they were from the royal family, they looked like siblings. It was a girl and a boy. Both with red hair and green eyes.Paul only saw them both walk up to where he was sitting. He didn't know what the professor was talking about and they sat next to him, as she was the only one available.The situation was making Paul forget that this was a game he wanted to finish. He felt a little nervous that someone from another country would come all the way to that school and sit next to him.The teacher continued to scribble on the board without looking at anyone. Just then out of nowhere the new boy spoke to Paul.-Hello, commoner. I see this school is pretty basic. Do you really spend all day listening to this fool?-Yes, sometimes he does basic magic. He doesn't want to destroy the classroom," he replied.-Interesting, how about a fight at break time?-Shall we fight?-Yes, I see you're level 18, you're the highest level in this room, even though you don't have much magic.Paul began to think that both boys were other players and when he saw that this one decided to talk to him, he didn't hesitate to accept.-Yes, what's the difference.-I am Marcos Werner and this is my cousin Sabrina. Although she doesn't like to talk to strangers.The black-haired boy had no choice but to answer her.-My name is Paul Douglas," he said a little nervously.[...]As they had agreed at the break, the two students went to fight in a local coliseum. Some students had heard about it in the hall, so they took it upon themselves to tell the rest of the school.Some of the teachers decided to go and see what was going on there.Paul had a cheap baculum and was prepared for anything. He just wanted to show his power to the boy, since it was not forbidden according to the rules of the game.Mark stood next to his cousin, and received a wand from her. And he went to the stairs.-Are you ready, Paul?-Yes, I'm ready," he answered.They both stared at each other. The nobleman was the first to cast a magic spell, a kind of sandstorm in which he was going to bury him.Paul was surprised to see that, so he cast a quick spell, a barrier to protect himself, and counterattacked immediately.-Mana Shield, Temple of Ice.Freeze everything around the Mark. He even froze completely, but quickly cast a spell to get out of there, and threw the wand to the ground. He realized that the boy in front of him knew many spells that he could cast simultaneously despite his low mana.The black-haired boy, at once realized that he had won and tried to evaporate all the ice that was near his noble companion.-You're fast at casting spells, but that's counter productive. If you run out in the middle of a battle you'll be left out in the cold. Stupidly half the school already knows you'll use an ice spell and they'll make shields to keep you from freezing them. So you have to make another strategy.Paul was surprised to hear his partner, not expecting him to care a bit about him. Sabrina went to her cousin and tried to help him. Ni kept quiet and spoke.-Those attacks are too hard you're quite a strange player.-Player? You are players too.-Yes, the game sent us here. We have done 7% we will finish in a matter of a few years, but we can't help you. You can get out if you complete all the missions, otherwise you won't be able to.-Yes, I already met an evaluator and he told me.Marcos and Sabrina looked at him surprised.-You could have asked him to raise you to level 50. With that you would pass half of all the missions. Well apparently something is going to happen in this town and they are trying to gather a few players. Unfortunately you have a very low reputation and you are a commoner in this world. How did you get that level and magic?-I didn't follow the rules, I just stole books and money, but the game punished me. Now I only have one life left.Marcos and his cousin were surprised to hear that. Sabrina, who hadn't spoken for a long time, decided to tell him a few things. The girl talks about what was going on.-It's dangerous, you can die at any moment, and there are difficult missions. Unfortunately the missions they don't give to us are different from yours. We can't give you money, or anything else we have.Marcos smiled and looked at his cousin.-Yes we can, you just have to compromise them, the game will allow you to have some things and maybe raise your reputation. With that you will be able to have some of the things we get. You live in this world on the edge, just be careful.Sabrina didn't care much about that and searched her menu for Paul. With that they were both linked and the reputation changed for both of them.<

Obelisk Chaos
Three days passed and the cousins did not return to school, Paul took advantage of that time to level up a little, however he only went up a single level. It was the only thing that occurred to him to do in that short time, he also avoided going to the areas that the game already allowed him to go. He knew that he would probably have magical confrontations. He considered that despite his strength he couldn't even fight against the people there, besides that I didn't go up much. The day before the magic festival he stayed at his family's house. This time he decided to help fix up the place, with some of the money that Marcos and Sabrina gave him. They were millionaires so for them it was nothing. He saw some pretty weird things in the inventory he shared with Sabrina and preferred not to look at them. He just took what he needed. He climbed on the roof and wanted to change the broken tiles, he was surprised to see that half of them were in bad shape. There were even stones that someo
Obelisk Reconstruction
Two days passed after that combat. There was much desolation and sadness. The city looked very strange, apparently the king of that place had been assassinated in the middle of that event. So Fischer was going to change in many ways. Paul only stayed a few days in his house, trying to do some repairs to the place. He had been left as the man of the house. In him was the future of that family. He had three brothers who were no older than twelve years old. All black-haired, black-eyed, and somewhat like him. Their mother had locked herself in a room, and besides that they lived in terrible living conditions.He was somewhat depressed by what he had had to live through. He was left with many mental scars from witnessing the death of so many people. He was constantly reminded of what had happened and how he had been unable to do anything about it.Everything he felt at that moment became his motivation to become stronger. So he decided to look at each statistic one by one.><
Obelisk Pilar
Matheus was still smiling and this made Paul increasingly uncomfortable, as he didn't understand why the man had challenged him, so he tried to talk to him."If you know I'm a gambler, why are you attacking me?""I wanted to see how strong you are, I see that you had to live something difficult in this place and I wanted to know how strong you were despite your level, look at me. I'm level fifty, and I've already finished all the missions.""But how? That's impossible!""Let's say I'm a broken player who hacked the system. I got so much money legally and bought all kinds of stuff."Paul was shocked to hear his story and wanted to know if that man could help him get a book."Can you help me get money?""I'm sorry, the game won't let me. I'm locked in here. Although I don't want to go out either, and that prevents me from giving items to other players, but I can teach you, we'd better go, some merchants don't like our presence and even less that we would use magic in this place. The gam
Obelisk Power
Both men approached the principal and Paul, it was clear that they did not have good intentions. Until the man who ran the school spoke to them and warned them."If you come any closer. I am not going to answer for what will happen to you. I'm just asking you to leave and don't come back."One of the men began to laugh in a somewhat unhinged manner. It got to the point that even the director was scared and one of the strange guys decided to take off the hood he was wearing at that moment and let his face be seen.He was a fairly young guy, no older than 28 and had brown horses."You?" said between teeth the director who was completely surprised to see him."Yes it's me dear headmaster, I see that now you are really afraid of me, the dark magic of the elves is quite good, look at me, I'm already fully healed. How about a battle to show you my new power?"Before that man continued speaking. A pair of chains came out of nowhere and caught the two suspicious people. Even Paul didn't reali
Obelisk Bug
That man walked into the house and sat down in one of the chairs and looked at Paul rather annoyed."So you're the one who hacked the game?"The black haired boy was surprised to hear that, he didn't know why he was being accused of that, so he answered him."I didn't hack anything, well I cheated at first and already the game punished me"."And that money you spent?"Paul got nervous and answered him all at once."Well, I got engaged to a girl in the game. She died, and I inherited all that money, that was it, I didn't steal anything.""Things like that alter the game, you were given a lot of money. The role you were assigned is that of a blacksmith's son, very little energy. You must spend more years than the rest, it's quite unusual. Most people have more luck in this game, but still. There are rules here."Paul was a little annoyed to hear that."Why did the game give me this role?""Someone had to get it. Everyone can't be rich, but in your case it's pretty strange. How did you g
Obelisk Garden
After getting out of class, Paul headed for the outskirts of the city, he was willing to spend the rest of the day killing monsters and climbing to level 25. He wanted to be closer to level 30, however the weather in this place as well as the reality was beginning to change. From one moment to the next, it started to snow. He looked at the sky and preferred not to approach the place, as he knew that each time the juice was a little more complex. The improvements were evident, they were so real that they made the black-haired boy go back to his house. It looked like a storm was about to start.Paul turned back towards the residential area, where the noble people of the city lived. He started walking as if it was nothing, but being in such an exclusive place, he found himself face to face with local families. They were all well-dressed and looked very strong, all of them were over level 60. They all ignore him just like a group of kids once did, but this time someone spoke to him."What
Obelisk Defense spell
Paul was shaking with fear. A series of fiery attacks began to fall on his body. His health dropped rapidly. In the midst of this situation, he saw a small button to leave the dungeon and did not hesitate to press the button and leave the place immediately.Suddenly he appeared on the outskirts of the castle, but his health was still low and he had some wounds on his body. He took one of the elixirs to recover and felt how little by little his health returned.He was a little calmer, he just leaned against the wall to rest. He had lost a lot of energy and some of his confidence. It was very difficult for him to defeat someone of a higher level without losing his life or using potions. So he decided to leave the place, a little crestfallen, but suddenly he saw Professor Irene.She came with two royal guards. He was struck by the sight of her, but he felt it was best to avoid her and let her think that he was following her or something like that, but the woman also saw him, and ignored
Obelisk Return
Paul woke up in a room very different from the one he had at home. He tried to get up, but his hands hurt a little. It was a kind of nagging burning that he couldn't stand. He looked at his health statistics and noticed that he had several burns on his arms.It was very strange to him. So he tried to get up from the bed where he was lying. As he tried to do so, he noticed that his health bar was quite low.>>Paul didn't understand what was happening, but he tried to take an elixir to recover his health. He looked for it in his inventory and quickly used it.>From one moment to the next, all his health was restored in a matter of seconds. He got out of bed and left immediately. He had on a different type of clothing than he usually wore. He started looking for his wand, but couldn't find it. He walked over to the door and opened it by moving the knob. He noticed that he was in some kind of mansion. For as he left the room. He saw hundreds of doors and an al

Combats
Paul only went up one level, despite defeating dozens of wizards, he would probably continue to climb slowly, but at least he had finished this mission. Now he only needed to excel in one school, he would pass the main mission.He didn't care much about the new skill he had been given, he preferred to ignore it for now.He was somewhat happy, but he didn't trust the game very much, with the death of Marcos he was very sad. His friend had already made a lot of progress, and maybe if he continued at that pace, he would be out of the game in less than a month.It was difficult for Paul, but he tried to calm down and convince himself that he could finish the game. Now he had more responsibility than before, but he had already achieved some goals.He left the castle garden quite tired, the last three days had been very difficult for him. The torture he had received had him somewhat out of his mind. He should do the missions more calmly, and avoid doing favors for the king.As there were no
Torture
Paul had his hand on his chest and was looking for shelter, he was nowhere near his house, so he looked for a place to wait for everything to calm down. He saw a place open at that hour, it was some kind of bar, and he noticed that there were some guards hiding. They were afraid of what was going on. Paul didn't stay to watch them all, he preferred to lean back in a chair while some girls watched him. The boy's physical appearance had changed a little, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but one of the women in the place I know said to me."Apparently someone put a spell on you to limit you a bit. Did you overdo something and that's why you're like this?""Is it a curse?""No, but it's worse. It will kill you slowly, it will hit you at different times."Paul remembered King Damien and what that man had done to him. So yes, the body was starting to fail, and he looked so stressed. He wanted to get up to get help, but his body no longer responded."You can get someone for me when th
Young king
While the two boys were talking in the chair. Someone entered the guild, but it was not a normal person. Everyone was surprised to see this person. Even Paul got a little nervous.It was the young king who was dressed in a normal way. He was not wearing guards or anything like that. Everyone was silent and moved away from him out of respect, but he was walking in a provocative way, he wanted someone to try to do something to him to insult or threaten him.Little by little people from the guild were starting to leave. Paul also tried to do the same, but the young king noticed Sabrina. He looked at her for a while and approached her.The black-haired boy sensed a lot of malice in him. Before he approached Sabrina and said something obscene to her, he walked towards her and grabbed her hands."Let's go to that place.""That place?""Yes, let's go."She didn't understand what he was referring to, but decided to leave her post lying around for him. However, the young king interrupted him.
The guild
The next day, Paul returned to the academy as if nothing had happened, but because of the fight with Matheus his reputation had gone down and people avoided him. So he just walked through the corridors of the place. Until he reached his classroom and sat in the loneliest place where no one would bother him.He noticed that students were missing. He thought that possibly they were people who died in the attack and that's why they were not there. He understood that the game was quite intelligent and did not ignore what was going on there. It took into account the people who had died and eliminated them as well. He felt some fear for the teacher and Sabrina, despite everything, they could die and maybe be eliminated as well.Surprisingly, however, someone came into the room. It was one of the king's advisors, not more than forty years old and dressed in black clothes, accompanied by the teacher. She did not hesitate to introduce him."Good morning to all. By order of the king. Syr Jonah,
Spell
Paul went to the area where the noble people lived. He noticed that part of the site where his house was located was gone, he only saw debris on the ground. He could finally see the extent of the damage to the city. He could not recognize that place. Nor the house where he lived.He only thought of going to look for the teacher to ask her what had happened in that place, but while he was trying to run, he saw Matheus appear. He looked very serious and dressed like an academy student in that blue school uniform."You finally showed up. We have a fight pending. Let's see how strong you are now."The black-haired boy became serious and answered her."I don't have time for this, don't fuck with me!""The people you are looking for are living on the streets, now they are begging. The king ordered that no one will help them. Now that you have time to fight with me? Besides, I won't let you go."Paul was quite annoyed, but Matheus wasn't going to let it go just like that. In just a second, t
Enemies
Paul was taken to a room where the elves and his friend Mark were. No one was happy with the new king, but they had no choice. They considered the ruler to be a bloodthirsty man who could lead that kingdom to destruction.Calm returned to that city and the armies had already returned and had to present themselves to their new king. Little by little, calm was returning, but no one was happy about what happened.The black-haired boy was in a chair away from everyone. He had regained his health, but he was not feeling well. He had been attacked very hard, which almost killed him, but luckily his reaction helped him to save himself. He had a glass of wine in his hand, it was the first time he drank an alcoholic beverage in that game. He felt very strange at that moment.He leaned back on the table to rest a little. He didn't trust anyone because of what happened, and he felt he had been betrayed. It almost killed him. With those spells.While he was thinking, Matheus, his friend, came to
Betrayal
The next morning the city was in chaos. Apparently there was an attempted coup against the young king, since the people who were involved in that situation, did not try to flee, but tried to destabilize the city of Fischer. So there was a confrontation between dozens of magicians. Paul was just annoyed with the situation, but luckily for him, he didn't have to do any side mission and expose his life. He just went around the city to see what was going to happen to the school. However, despite what had happened, it was now his turn to go on a mission.The royal guard appeared in front of him as he was walking down the street. He stopped him immediately."You must go to the kingdom, they request your presence there."The black haired boy decided to go and see what was going on, he knew that if it was to intervene in the Obelisk, he could go up and surpass level 30 and thus be ready for the tower of 500 floors.He walked through the streets of the city and could see the extent of the dam
Players
All the young men who participated in the illegal fighting were taken to a cell. None of them spoke. They were all silent. No one tried to say anything.As if they were waiting for someone to take them out. Paul was leaning against the grille of his cell. He was a little upset, only calmed down when one of the people tried to talk to him."Don't panic. They usually let us out the next day. We just have to pay a million coins and that's it."Poor Paul didn't like what happened very much. He got even more annoyed and wanted to run away from the place. He avoided looking at the other young men. Until another one of them approached and spoke to him."Ah... It's you."The black-haired boy looked him straight in the face and recognized him."You're one of the ones I saw that day.""Yes, sometimes we do this. It's part of some kind of mission to test our physical abilities and magic""What do you gain by doing this?""Nothing, we just want to distract ourselves a little. We can't do missions
Medium level
Paul stayed more than two hours waiting for his fatigue to reduce a little, but it only dropped 5 points.The black-haired boy had no choice but to leave, the wounds he suffered had damaged him, and he had to try to leave, as he could not continue. However, he was in a dangerous area in which he had entered himself. His only objective was to walk fast and avoid encountering other creatures, but in spite of that he moved away from there. Out of nowhere appeared the wolves that lived in that area.As they were so fast, Paul decided to call the Yeti's spirit. In a matter of seconds the Yeti was back, but his eyes were blue, very different from a few hours ago. He had the mallet in his hand and walked up to the wolves and hit them with it. Paul just watched that, and tried to avoid moving so much. He walked away from the place while the fight was going on. Until he was so far away that it was all over. He could see the Yeti appear next to him and his level went up.<
