"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
The First D-Rank Dungeon Gate had finally been cleared, but one soldier had died as a result of my foolishness in relying far too heavily on my knowledge of New Life.Just as we came out of the gate, hundreds of soldiers and some unidentified individuals could be seen supposedly waiting for our arrival."Look, someone was coming out of the gate!""Get the medic, now!"The man who had commissioned me rushed toward me without any regard for his safety while grabbing a medicine kit in his left hand."Don't worry I am oka-""Seah, are you okay?" "Papa!""Ahh.. So he came here for her daughter." I mumbled.He then slowly turned his eyes toward me and was about to speak."Don't worry about me and thank those wounded soldiers behind me." [01:00 PM, Friday], [LOCATION: Inside The Tent]Just as I entered the tent, a woman, supposedly the secretary of the one who commissioned me suddenly approached me and told me to sit."First and foremost, let me introduce you to the man in front of you; hi
I hurriedly went to the abandoned building where my father used to work and just as I was getting closer, I heard a familiar voice talking to someone in a mannerly tone. "Ahh, right! We also have one!" "That's the spirit!" "Ha! Aniela, your son will die at this rate!" I subconsciously clenched my fist just as I heard the name of my mother whilst slowly losing control over my body. "Wake up!" I slap my face over and over until I regained control of my body as if I were fighting an inner demon that was trying to escape from hell. I started to walk closer and noticed that the door in front of me was locked from the inside which once again triggered my anger. "Don't get in my way!" I smashed the door with my fist which created a very loud bang inside and out. "Y-Y-You!" Fatty stuttered just as it saw me slowly entering He took a step back and was about to take my mother hostage. "You dare!" In just a blink of an eye, fatty's healthy arm had been cut off while his voice echoed de
As the old man and I talked, he mentioned that the one I killed was Jacob Tolentino, the true CEO of the Loan Shark Company, and the fatty's name was Lorence Tolentino, yes, that fatty was Jacob's brother. "Would the police investigate this case?" I asked. Showing a serious expression on my face. "No. And even if they do, they will find nothing." "Why?" "Do you know how you killed them?" "No." "You burned them until nothing remained, not even their ashes," He said. "Ahh?" "There were also no CCTVs there since that area was originally abandoned." I came to believe that it was the end, but then another dilemma arose. Jacob Tolentino, the CEO of that Loan Shark Company has two sons who are currently players like me. Not just any ordinary player, but a member of one of the top five guilds that have emerged since the beginning of New Life's (VR) Game. "Ha! So that's why he has a player on his side huh?" I mumbled to myself as I go back to my room. [7:00 AM, Saturday], [LOCATIO
So there you have it. I went through my re-awakening, which surprised me because it caused some changes in my appearance, such as how my left eye turned amber. [12: 15 PM, Saturday], [LOCATION: New Town, Bookstore] I went straight to the bookstore after I advanced to intermediate magician to learn some new skills before going on a hunt. "Hoho? What do we have here?" Kyle began to adjust his monocle while staring at me as if judging my entire being. I began to approach him and stood in front of his desk, taking something from my inventory. In just a few moments, Kyle's eyes suddenly changed to that of being interested to something as I place three bags of New Coins on his desk. He then took the three bags of New Coins from his desk with each containing at least a thousand coins and spoke, "The usual?" he asked, in an excited tone. "Yes, the usual." [LOCATION: Kyle's Main Shelves] "May I ask what type of skill book you want?" "An active skill book that specializes in tracking.
George, that old man, told me that a new dungeon gate had appeared on the section of Visayas that was classified as a higher-rank dungeon, and that even the top five guilds in the Philippines had become aware of its existence. And so, I need to become stronger in order to at least honor the trust that the Player Association gave to me.[12:40 PM], [LOCATION: Makiling Forest, Phase 04]Phase 04, the deepest part of the Makiling Forest or originally called Tenebris Silva in "New Life" is where most monsters have the ability to take advantage of their environment or we could argue that they were more intelligent beings than those boars who have a repeatedly attack pattern.As soon as I enter, an ominous feeling engulfs my presence as if dozens of unknown monsters were eyeing every step that I take.I immediately used the Eye of Providence to check whether there was any presence or an ambush from each side of the gloomy forest.[System Message: Using the Eye of Providence; Presence Detect
As I dashed back, I cast a restraint skill that limits the colorless spider's mobility while simultaneously casting a fire blast to attack once more. Just as I was ready to discharge the fire blast, the colorless spider produced a toxic mist that blinded me to his presence which also intercepted me from casting a skill. [System Message: Colorless Spider cast a wide skill, poisonous mist. All stat's decrease by 35%.] [System Message: Resisting poison..] [System Message: Poison has been successfully resisted.] "Ahh, he got me there!" If I hadn't had a poison-resistant skill, I may have died right now, is what you all thought. But in fact, every player knows that Tenebris Silva was the sanctuary of toxic creatures, therefore before going hunting there, one would need to learn a poison-resistant skill, which was also required for a player in a long run. I immediately used the Eye of Providence using the ability of mana sensing to locate the spider once more. But just as I learn where
So that's what happened. I hoarded a lot of EXP by hunting venomous spiders while unexpectedly battling a terror of Tenebris Silva, the Colorless Spider that eventually becomes my subordinate by means of Soul bounding necromancy skill."Squeak?" The colorless spider spoke as it bend his tiny head down like it was asking for something."Ahh! a name was it?" I asked in an excited tone."Squeak!" It suddenly becomes excited as it circled around me.I then pondered for quite a while and accidentally said a random name. "Whitey?"[System Message: Colorless Spider successfully received its given name, Whitey.]"Squeak?!" The colorless spider looked at me in disgust as if it was thinking that I am poor at giving names. Well, actually, I am.Just as I gave it a name, it suddenly run from afar as if it was going after something."W-Wait! You're leaving me just because I gave you a faulty name?" I asked as I chased after him.It run faster than usual as if it really were going after something t
