RE; Soul Bound 010: Skill Book
And that's how I ended up being a magician once again. Sasha told me that this place was originally a golf course, obviously, it is. But just after the game become reality, this place suddenly transformed into a medieval infrastructure in just a spun amount of time. For me, this place was a town similar to that of a newbie town in "New Life". In New Life, the town was where everything can be found. Such as market place, forging houses, a teleportation gate that instantly teleports you to the designated forest, and a book store. By the looks of it, everything was really similar to that of a newbie town; just like these NPCs. Yes, you heard it right. I too cannot believe that NPCs have existed but I already seen it with my own eyes so I don't have a choice but to believe. But the thing is these NPCs doesn't act like they used to be in "New Life". Their scripted and repeated actions cannot be seen as if they have gained their own ego and human emotions. [5:02 PM, Wednesday], [LOC
RE; Soul Bound 011: Territorial War?
I bought these five skill books because of their own unique firepower and usage. Just like the lightning bullet that only consume almost half of the original skill which was a lightning blast. Not only this skill was conservative, but it was also powerful in its own way, just like being shot by a gun. Earthen Shield could help me block almost all magic or long-range attacks while it can also be used for terrain manipulation, partnered up with self-healing that could help me heal my wounds naturally when an attack from the enemy hasn't been blocked by the earthen shield. As for Fire blast, it could consume a lot of mana since it was an ultimate attack but if it was partnered up by mana regeneration, then I would at least regenerate 20-30% of the used mana from initiating the said skill. I wanted to hunt more monsters for the day to try the skills that I'd bought but the night was already coming through and so I decided to go home and sleep early. "M-Mom!" I once again forcibly wok
RE; Soul Bound 012: Faulty Inventory
Hunting with the other players was more efficient than hunting alone, is what they say. Well, in fact, it is. But for I who have an unspoken secret, unable to do so. Consider what would happen if someone discovered that I still have the items that I used to have when I was a "New Life" player. Isn't death the only outcome? That is why, for as long as I can, I will never join any party with others. I rest for a while to replenish the mana that I used and decided to open the Gift Pack that I received after becoming a mage. [Gift Pack x1] ([Use]/Discard) For I who was a former player of New Life know that the Gift Pack contained three essential items for each of the different classes. For me, I should receive common staff, common robe, and a common ring. "But what is this?" I mumbled. The Gift Pack that would provide three items only gave a normal-looking necklace, "W-Wait, isn't this a rare tier 4 necklace?" [ITEM: ROSARIO] [TIER 4: RARE] [LEVEL REQUIREMENT: No requirements] [RE
RE; Soul Bound 013: Space Distortion
The old man hammered the shield that laying onto the anvil, and just as it landed down, a very loud clang could be heard while the shield itself emitted a strong light that enveloped the entire forging room.He began to approach me, holding the shield with both of his hands, and spoke in a serious tone, "Young man, seems like luck was on your side.""You mean?" I took the shield out of his hand and immediately check its status."So, young man. What do you think?" He asked, straightening his broad shoulders."I-It was perfect, a no, I am rich!" Is this what it feels like holding a soon-to-be cash?"Hold your house down, young man!"

RE; Soul Bound 014: So You Chose Death Huh?
As soon as I realized it, an ogre-like growl could be heard from downstairs while each of its footsteps created a trebling sound from the ground. I told mom, and little sister to go to my room and hide for a while and was thankful that they didn't ask why nor stop me from what I'm about to do. "If it was really an ogre then.. Hah! no time to dilly dally!" I mumbled. I hurriedly went downstairs and as soon as I saw the ogre, I lured it away from our house while I could feel its destructive strength from afar as he chased after me. As I run, I was trying to restrict its movement by firing a lightning bullet from its torso. But as expected, apart from its destructive strength, its magical and physical defense was quite high. "I can't fight him like this!" I yelled as I run and attracted those goblins from each side to my location thus my plan was about to start. I took one of the EXP Boosters from my inventory and immediately drank it. "If I can't fight you, then let me annihilate
RE; Soul Bound 015: Authority
Goblins and Ogre, monsters that never existed except for the fact that they were from the hidden dungeons of New Life. I wondered how these unexpected events unfolded in front of my eyes. I initially believed I was only dreaming up until this point, but it's far too real to be classified as such. There was only one way that this could have happened. And so, the hidden dungeons that I was once cleared in New Life had also materialized, and every time I had a seemingly impossible dream, it would soon become a reality. [05:30 AM, Friday], [LOCATION: 5 Star Hotel] I told mom that I need to go somewhere and got her permission after convincing her for about an hour whilst that time when I was about to go outside, a man in a black suit approached me and asked if I had any free time to spare. His expression was far too solemn, as if something had occurred on their end. I followed him and eventually arrived at the reserved room of his supposedly boss. "Please come in," he said as he opene
RE; Soul Bound 016: The First Gate
The enormous earthen shield has almost instantly melted in a span amount of time. The soldiers who had witnessed the entire event were flabbergasted, and their gazes toward me changed to one that resembled that of a true leader.[8:30 AM, Friday], [LOCATION: Inside The Gate]Shwoorshh~! "A forest?"As soon as we entered the space crack, a foreboding and dark forest appeared in front of us."There's no monsters at all?"It was really questionable that no living beings could be seen nor felt in this kind of situation but for I, know what kind of surprises this forest may give."Don't let your guard down!" We were about to enter the forest when I suddenly realized that every significant location inside the forest had an obvious trap laid by the goblins and was ready to retaliate once we tried to go further."Ohh?" I muttered."Sir, is there any problem?""Who was your sniper in the group?" I asked the soldiers who were trailing me as I abruptly stopped and turned to face them."I-I am,
RE; Soul Bound 017: Anguish Of Death
"New Life", The (VR) Game that I used to play for four years had emerged as a reality. At first, I planned to use the vast knowledge of four years but it seems like the whole thing was bound to change. As soon as I wiped out the horde of goblins pursuing me, I went to the scene where the soldiers' frantic cries could be heard. When I arrived, no living beings could be seen nor felt but noticeable bloodstains were all over the place as if a bloody war had broken out there. "What just happened here?" I muttered. As I was looking for any clue, I noticed the bloodstains that were splattered on the ground trailing the other side of the forest as if someone was desperately running with an open wound. I decided to follow it regardless of the danger and as I was getting closer, the ground seemingly trembled in despair. "Only that monster could produce this particular trembling sound!" I immediately run faster and faster until another horde of goblins could be seen from a distance chasing

033: They Found Out!
Another day passed and the day of the official raid were about to start. [07: 30 AM, Monday], [LOCATION: 250m Away From The Dungeon Gate] The top five guilds began to gather into one point and started their own discussion about the raid that would commence later. Royette sighed and said, "Ugh! Here I thought that the raid would be postponed once again." "So shouldn't we already start the raid before another dungeon break occurs?" Remarked, Ronald. "We can't." "What do you mean, RYAN?" His voice raised at the end of his words, "Are you planning on something, that's why you kept delaying the raid, huh RYAN?" Ronald was about to get his bow from his inventory when suddenly Ryan replied, "Are you an idiot? Do you want to raid the dungeon without the Player Association? Do you want us to get killed by a sudden missile from the army or something?" He walked closer to Ronald as he spoke. "Hoho! Here I thought you guys weren't afraid of the military; don't worry, we don't kill civilian

032: Dungeon Break (2)
The top five guilds began to form their party formation which warriors who have high endurance and strength positioned at the front while using their shields to defend against the impact that the unknown monsters who were estimated about a hundreds would create. In the middle is the assassins that were ready to take action when the front side gets harder to defend and behind them was a healer who will provide support enhancement and healing abilities. Lastly, the mages and archers were teamed up from each of every side of the healer that will attack in long-range, and with archer's precise attack and mages highly explosive and wide skills, the formation would undoubtedly become a strong foundation in this battle. "Having seen this formation once again was sure nostalgic all of a sudden~" I talked to myself as I was about to release the dozens of bullets that I had already cast mid-air. In the Player Association's side was more of a military formation even for those awakened soldie

031: Dungeon Break
As soon as I saw how rude the guild masters of the top five guilds were, my anger starts to boil. "Ronald is it? Why would this meeting require a man like yourself who was not even a part of the government?" I asked, simultaneously releasing killing intent. "He's strong!" Is what those top five guild masters thinking as they have felt the tremendous mana fluctuations filled with killing intent. "A-And who might you be?" Ronald asked as his sweat poured down his broad shoulder. "Hey, I thought you don't want your identity to be known by them yet?" George whispered into my ear. "Ahh.. I fvck up." I mumbled. "We were really curious till now but who might really be this young man behind sir George?" Asked Ryan, showing an expression of curiosity on his face. "A-Ahh this is.. Theodore, what now?" He whispered. "I am.." "Y-Yes?" Ryan stuttered. "I am.." "Hmm?" "I am just a new member of the Player Association." I replied, scratching my head. "Huh? A new member, you say?" Asked Ro

030: The So-Called Meeting
That's how I and the secretary of National Defence, George met and talked a lot about things regarding the dungeon raid that will commence tomorrow. "So what do you think? Want to meet them now?" George asked. "W-Who? Wait, what do you mean?" I stuttered. "An advance meeting would be held half an hour later regarding the dungeon raid tomorrow." "A meeting? are you behind this so-called meeting?" I asked in a serious tone. "Why would I hold a meeting with those bastards? I don't even want to see them." He cussed out bad words as he spoke. "Then who?" "The guild master of Rhino Guild." "Y-You mean that Tolentino guy?" I stuttered. "Yes. It was proposed by the Rhino Guild but was officially held by the Royal Guild." "Ha! What a day!" [10:10 PM, Sunday], [LOCATION: Temporary Camp Site] And so I and that old man, Geroge decided to attend the so-called advance meeting and just as we had anticipated, it was chaotic. The top five guilds have their own domain, or should I say, they

029: Departure and Arrival
As soon as I entered the FAB headquarters, a soldier, supposedly a commander of some sort of air force, greeted me respectfully and proceeded to show me the way to the so-called runway. "From this point on, our pilot, Rowan, will accompany you to your destination; have a safe flight." "Then, please take care of me, sir Rowan." And that is how I board a military plane for the first time in my life. .. [AT THE SAME TIME] "Ha! These bastards become more lawless simply because they've become a player!" muttered Secretary of National Defense as he observed the top five guilds debating. "Sir, we have received a phone call from Major General Akinso that Theodore was on his way here. He will probably arrive this midnight." Said Lara. "I see. There are still no casualties right?" "Yes, it appeared that the dungeon entrance was calmer than the recent D-Rank dungeon that formed at Los Baños." Lara reported, recalling the time when the first D-rank dungeon emerged at Los Baños.

028: The Departure
That's how Sasha ended up taking her dinner with my family. "So how did you and my Theodore meet?" Mother asked as she showed an expression of curiosity on her face. "Ahh, that day when I met him was quite heroic. He save me who was being chased down by a monster that has unbelievable strength!" She spoke as if she was born as a storyteller. "Ohh? Just like a hero that saves a certain princess?" Mother became more interested in Sasha's words. "Oi, don't exaggerate things." I whispered. "I'm not exaggerating. When I was on the verge of being attacked by that monster, your son, Theodore had already killed it with just a single strike just like a piece of cake!" And Sasha's exaggerated story continued. "But it was really exaggerated; even though I killed it with a single strike, I still suffered from shock, and I didn't save you at all! You were already so fast that the mutated boar couldn't keep up with you, which is why its attention was drawn to me," I mumbled to myself as I reca

027: A long Night
Roger, the one who assessed my combat capabilities, got interested in the Skull Shield that I utilized during the battle and asked if I could sell it to him for any amount, or even using New Life currency."Are you sure?" I asked in a serious tone."Yes, no matter what the price is, I will still buy it!" He said as he showed an expression of eagerness."Hmm, how about 2000 New Coins?" I offered Roger using New Life coins because I don't need real money right now as the association had already provided a safe residence for my family to live in."Deal!" "That's it? How rich was this man would be to just accept that much offer?" I mumbled as I saw the Executive Director walk closer to Roger while giving him two unknown bags."Here.." Roger received the two unknown bags from Joshua and eventually gave them to me as he spoke."What do you-" "The payment," he remarked as he quickly put the shield into his inventory."W-Wait, care to explain this situation?" I stuttered."Ahh, remember the

026: Second Evaluation
The second Evaluation was about close-range combat, or to be precise, this combat will evaluate one's player capability and whether they have the courage to fight even if they have no chance of winning. "So a battle of courage, you say?" I mumbled to myself as I finally saw the opponent that I will be against with.A bulky and seemingly strict man in his twenties entered the Combat Evaluation Area while looking at me in excitement."That guy's name was Roger, a warrior class who had already attained his first advancement just like sir Theodore." Joshua said."Joshua, will he really be my opponent? He looked like he can't take a punch with me~!" He said as he took off his shirt."Ahh, sir Joshua, can I use some of my skill?" I asked as I was a little enraged but what he says was nonetheless true. I may be powerful in terms of firepower, but I can lose instantly if I took a punch from that bastard's huge fist."B-But this was a test of courage and not an official match evaluation thoug

025: First Evaluation
So that's what happened. Player Association was currently experiencing an infiltration from a heinous guild or more so one of the top five guilds called Rugal. This guild was formed as an anti-government or those who think that the government was always at fault. "I see, so that's why this man was too tense huh?" I mumbled to myself as I looked at Troy's face intensively. "I-I'm really sorry sir!" Troy said. "It's also my fault for twisting your arm." [LOCATION: Executive's Director Office] *Knocking Sound* "You may come in" As I walked in, I noticed a man in his thirties standing in front of the window, gradually turning his attention to me. "Ahh, so you're here, Theodore!" He said. "And you are?" I asked as I showed a curious expression on my face. "Sorry for my late introduction. I am Joshua, an executive director of Player Association." He bowed as he speak. "Where was that old man? I thought he would provide me a new identity card." I asked as I peered out every cor
