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
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
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
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. "What ab
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
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
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
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
