As Draven said, Kran started with a simple frontal assault, but with Poko's high stats it looked slow and was easy to dodge. Poko dodged to the right, away from Kran's shield and pressured him with his sword. Due to the stat advantage it didn't take much and Poko won the fight. Luckily the weapons were swapped for wooden ones so Kran just had some bruising and got some healing.[You have completed floor three's mission of {defeat one of the four instructors}.

Good luck on the next one."The reward was a shield, much better looking than Poko's old one.After winning Poko went to Draven who showed up to watch the fight."Wow your way stronger than I thought, you might beat Tark too but I doubt you could beat Tornis."
————————— POV —————————Darius was confused, suddenly he sensed a new presence but today was not a recruitment day, was it a special admittance? They do happen from time to time, it's best to double check.The boy looked normal and inexperienced, he definitely couldn't get passed the enchantment and guards. Darius discreetly spied on him for a bit, the boy didn't seem to know much about the place which is unusual. Maybe he was here to spy? He also already possessed a medal which shouldn't be possible, how did he get that? It's one of the prized possessions of the greatest unit in the country and it clearly hadn't belonged to an active member so it didn't make sense. Only he had the authority to hand it out, not even the crown prince could get one without earning it.Darius watched as Poko defeated Kran and then Tark. It seemed he actually had great potential considering how strong he already was and how quick he picked things up. But the fight with Turnis was even more startling, cas
On the 4th day Poko was ready to move forward, there would soon be players arriving if they hadn't already and he needed to stay ahead of them, good thing they all probably needed 100 wins. Poko went to see Draven who was still practicing, he didn't want to bother Draven yet so he went ahead and found Darius.Darius was a muscled man about 6ft tall, unlike Kran who was like a bear, Darius was muscular but not as thick as Kran. He held a great sword in his hands.People realizing what was happening started gathering to watch, every time someone challenged Darius people would gather to witness it and cheer on their comrade, or laugh as he got his ass kicked.Once he challenged Darius he started casting a spell immediately but this was really a fake since he knew Darius wouldn't let him cast it. Darius attacked and with each swing Poko felt a giant weight against his shield, this man was strong! Poko did not hold back and started using skills like piercing strike and slashing strike. Th
“You know about the hidden mission and the tower? Everyone else seems clueless here?”“Yes most people don’t know about it, but some like me are instructed by the tower to help manage specific areas and keep an eye out for problems. As for the hidden mission, that was just a guess hehe thanks for the information!”“Huh so you played me, but if your working for the tower how come you don’t know more?”“I know only what I need to, besides I’ve lived here so long it’s not as if All of use are completely loyal to the tower after so long, many want to gain their own strength and taking advantage of players is one way of doing that hence the lack of information.”“I don’t suppose your one of those to take advantage?”“Oh yes I certainly am, but don’t worry I’m not the type to backstab. Consider it mutual benefits, we can help each other. For example I will also give you some personal rewards. Normally once you beat the instructors you will be gifted money and equipment. Although I can’t get
Poko looks around to see a barren desert.[Welcome to floor 4! Survive!]“So I just have to survive? Probably a time limit I guess.”[You have completed floor four’s mission of {Survive!

Entering the village Poko soon found a small tavern which he entered, at this time of day there wasn’t many people in the building. Poko was greeted by a girl who looked about 14 years old.“Hello mister, what can I get you?”“Hi, I was wondering if this town has an inn?”“Nope sorry, mom says that there’s not enough travelers for an inn but some farmers rent out barn space.”“Hmm ok, do you know what kind of rumors have been going around lately?”“Rumors? I heard herald was sleeping with the butchers daughter and got caught! Now old man rogers is furious!”‘Highly doubt that’s related to the quest but that’s what I get for being vague.’“Hmm interesting, what about monsters rumors? I’m a hunter and am looking for something new to hunt.”“Hmm well there is a lot of hyenas, rabbits, and deer around here. There’s also the crag tooth ridge but no one goes there because of how dangerous it is, I heard there was a dragon sleeping there!”Poko continued to chat with the little girl but she
Poko sprinted up the hill and saw a blue wolf sniffing at some clothes and a shield on the ground. The sword was the beginner sword and looked like scrap, while the shield was dented but still usable. It seems like he beat the first instructor and got the shield but that was it. [Players: 1/30]Before the wolf noticed him Poko started with a fire spell, he used fire control to increase the strength and did not use quick cast as he had the jump on the creature.Of course a magical wolf would notice the change in mana immediately, it raised its head and dodged the fire with a movement skill. Poko followed it up with a quickened fire spell and hit the wolf as it’s skill was probably still on cooldown. However the wolf didn’t bother to dodge and merely opened its mouth.Poko knew what was coming and immediately used his movement skill to dash behind the ridge as an icy breath passed over above him. Poko ran back up, already casting earth shower. As soon as he saw the wolf he cast it an
The lesser fire did not destroy the shield, only dimming it a little. He would probably need 2 more flame spells to destroy it. The man now did something weird, he charged at Poko. Poko was caught off guard as all the man needed now was a quick spell and it would probably do a lot to him but instead he charged at him. But this was to his advantage, Poko closed the distance too with his sword and shield.This time the man did not dodge at all and let the shield block the hit, nearly destroying it. He ran right past Poko and Poko realized what the man was doing, he was likely out of mana and running for his bag and equipment. As soon as Poko finished swinging his sword, he started a fire spell with full power. The man grabbed the bag, rummaged quickly until he took out a blue bottle and gulped it down. Just as he started casting another spell Poko finished his which destroyed the man’s shield and hit him heavily. The man let out a scream and his spell fizzled in the air. Poko used qui
