The man named Zircho pulls out his dagger violently, and then laughs so sadistically, leaving Azzim on his knees while covering his bleeding belly.The other two men follow Zircho. However, the one warrior with level 14 glances back at Azzim for a moment. But then, Zircho calls for him.“Where do we go next, Lorior?” shouts the man named Zircho.As soon as that man reacts to Zircho’s call, the holographic texts above his head changes, displaying “Lv 14. The Loser No. 129 a.k.a. Lorior”.The man named Lorior, who happens to be their leader, turns and walks into the woods ahead of his friends.“Just follow me!” he says.It seems that Zircho guy has deliberately not killed Azzim immediately so that he would suffer longer. He thought, Azzim would not survive either if he just left him dying like that. However, Azzim is still alive and able to close his wound with two hands.He looks around, finding himself in the middle of a not-so-wide savanna. He hears the sound of waves crashing agains
Suddenly, he flinches, finding his entire vision filled with rippling water, as well as the entanglement of several scaly arms that he could not see clearly. Azzim tries to scream, struggling to break free. But instead, he chokes with water filling his throat. And then, he is suddenly able to let his scream out. However... “Dung!!!” Out of clues, his head hits the glass door of the sleeping pod. “Shit? What was that?” he murmurs while rubbing his forehead. Azzim pushes the door, looking so breathless with cold sweat dripping down his body. “What just happened? How did I get here?” In fact, Azzim is already in the dark room in one of the buildings in Gurdat Town. It is unclear what caused his death. Whether it was because of the wound he received, or because of something unclear that he has just experienced before returning to his senses in the sleeping pod. One thing for sure, he returns to that dark room because he just died out there. He lets his body lie down on the sleeping
That mysterious voice no longer appears. Everyone is silent, confused, trying to digest everything that has just been conveyed by someone who called himself as “Bang Sat”.“What was that?”"What should we do now?”“Hey, he said that we are in a town, right? Could it be, there is a way out of this room?”“How would I know?”And then, the dark room starts to get a little noisy as those 10 people are busy looking for a way out. They even collide with each other, and it leads to a commotion. There are also those who accidentally bump into the other sleeping pods.Until someone accidentally hits the sleeping pod where Azzim is sleeping. It wakes him up. Realizing the commotion in the dark room, Azzim pushes the door of his sleeping pod.As he gets out, he sees holographic text mentioning “Lv 0. The Loser No. 163” above someone’s head.“Oh, sorry. I didn’t know there are still people who haven't come out of that thing,” says that man in a slightly awkward tone.But then, the man notices som
Realizing those inmates are walking towards him from a distance, Azzim chooses to step aside. Meanwhile, the newbie is still standing pensively watching the bizarre sight he is encountering for the first time. “Hey, let’s get out of here!” Azzim pulls the newbie’s neck with his arm. “Wo, woaa. Why are...” “Just stay away from them for now,” Azzim replies. He stands aside by leaning against a wall of a building. Most of the inmates pass by while glancing coldly at him. It’s indeed they are all already know about Azzim’s existence in the first stage trial. And finally, Azzim sees Zircho’s face among them, grinning and glaring at him with a despised look. Azzim's just silent, not showing any emotion at all. No anger, neither a hatred. His face is so flat and cold, not wanting to let any thought inside his mind to be found out by anyone. But in fact, as a veteran assassin, he has been busy thinking about so many things he is going to do, to pay what that man had done to him. But then
Hearing the commotion, Azzim becomes even more convinced of his previous guess. The realm was reset prematurely because of a group of inmates had entered the Gatekeeper’s Dungeon to try completing the first stage trial. But sadly, in just one hour, they were all dead and respawned back as level 0 warriors. One of them, The Loser No. 97, looks so annoyed and pushes the crowd violently. “Get the fuck out of here. Stop swarming us,” he snaps as he walks to the room where they keep the inmates' deposit boxes and chests. The man continues to grumble in rage, looking so impatient while putting on a set of leather clothes and a pair of magical-type of elf's skin boots. ******************** [Alert!] [You don’t meet sufficient conditions to wear this type of magical item. If you insist wearing the item, you will just burning up your MANA while getting no benefit from them] - The item require you to have level 5 and at least 30 Intelligence. - You are just too noob and
Azzim immediately pushes the man who has just been stabbed by Zircho. Meanwhile, Zircho hasn't had the time to pull out his dagger yet. He is surprised, realizing that it seems like Azzim has been waiting the opportunity to attack him. “Die, you fucker!” Zircho shouts as he just pulls back his dagger. But Azzim has already delivered his slash using Zack's small knife that he has just snatched. A moment later, Zircho’s dagger is floating in the air. Likewise with the piece of his two fingers which have been cut by Azzim. He screams, clutching his severed and bleeding fingers. “Rodeo, give me your life potion!” Zircho shouts. One of his friends reacts immediately, throwing a vial filled with red liquid. Meanwhile, one of his other friends from a place some distance away is seen running while pulling his sword. Azzim acts fast, jumping like a tiger and snatching the life potion while delivering a quick slash. He manages to steal the life potion, and even manages to cut Zircho on the
Now there are only two sets of simple white clothes left. Azzim picks them up and carries the clothes into the sea to wash off any remaining blood. Some newbies are just silent, not knowing what to do. When Azzim comes back, some of them are seen walking towards the beach, as if trying to calm down and soothing their worries by the sight of beautiful view of the trial realm. They don't know what they have to do, because without them knowing, the Gurdat Town is no longer there to be seen. Meanwhile, Azzim sees that there are still several inmates of the same party who are all still at level 0. They are seen having a discussion under a coconut tree at the forest border. “Now, what are we going to do?” asks the newbie No. 163 to Azzim. “What do you mean by we?” Azzim replies. The newbie’s face is frowned, not hiding his disappointment after getting such response. And suddenly, Azzim notices a strange movement on the beach waters, slowly approaching the other newbies. A moment later,
He keeps touching that spot with an annoying face as he keeps not getting the other slide he needs to check. “What are you doing?” the newbie asks. But Azzim ignores him. He issues another command, to check his personal status about his passive talent tree. He still gets nothing. “Fuck!” Azzim mutters deeply, looking so pissed off. “How would I unlock my talent if I can’t access them?” It seems like that one basic stats is the only window he can access. He then asks the newbie to check his own personal status by telling him several commands. The newbie follows Azzim’s instruction. He then starts looking in awe with what he sees. It’s his personal interface window only him can see. The newbie is starting to do odd stuff, touching the empty air like a crazy toddler with his gadget. Judging by his reaction, Azzim knows that the newbie can access them all unlike him. Seems like this is the unfavorable condition which has been mentioned to Azzim before the system transferred him back
She is so afraid, doubting whether she is able to land safely after jumping that high. But Azzim is being occupied with all the wolves by himself. Only Toto alone, who is now on a tree branch, reacts to Hannah’s call.“It’s okay. If you are able to jump that high, it also means that you are able to land safely from that position.“Are you crazy? This is too much!”“Just make sure you land properly without twisting your ankle!”As Toto’s attention is averted by Hannah, that mysterious inmate attacks him in stealth. When Toto notices the incoming attack, that inmate’s wooden staff is already so close in front of his face.“Dush!”That one hit manages to send Toto to the ground. But then, one arrow appears toward that mysterious inmate. It’s just a normal arrow, since Hannah releases the shot without any preparation while she is still in mid air.That mysterious inmate manages to evade that arrow, but he can’t follow his previous attack to kill Toto. And so, Toto gets the chance to regro
She approaches Hannah and tells her what she just learned from that pair of unique boots. She looks at Hannah’s holographic text to see her current level and finds the problem with her situation. “Now this is a problem. It’s an active skill. You might need access to Skill Set Command so that you can learn and use this skill efficiently. But I believe you’ve skipped the option for that access, right?” says Leia. “I don’t think she really needs it. Just look at Toto,” Azzim interrupts. The three of them look at Toto, and Toto just puts on his clueless face, not knowing what they are talking about. Leia changes her mind a bit regarding the importance of accessing the Skill Set Command. She then takes off the boots and gives them back to Hannah. “You’d still need some time to adapt with the change. Even without using the skill, the item itself gives you an increase for agility and endurance to your leg for a long journey,” says Leia to Hannah. “Are you telling me that it’s okay to tak
However, unlike Dino, Hannah steps in as if she intends to volunteer herself. “Please, take me with you! You should already know that my observation skills are the best among our group.” “I acknowledge your observation skill,” Azzim affirms. “But I'm afraid you are going to slow us down. Despite being an agility-type warrior, the current you can't keep up with my pace and Toto.” It makes Hannah look so disappointed. She can't deny what Azzim just said. She thinks that the only way for her to progress is to push herself to do something more than she currently can do. And staying together with her mentor, who is one of the veterans, should be the best option for her. She has felt it herself, how much she has grown so far. “If I really have the talent to be an agility-type warrior, shouldn’t it be reasonable that I can adapt to your pace given time?” she asks. “I know it the most, how important it is for us to gain actual experience on the field. But look at the situation first. I’m
Those Kelinians have observed how Azzim and his friends fought against the army of the wolves. They acknowledge those inmates’ abilities. But still, they are winning in number.There are more than 30 melee warriors there, and exatcly 13 archers. But Azzim and Leia are still looking so calm with their situation. Only Toto alone who is looking so worried at the moment.He had witnessed Azzim’s madness when he cleared the sartyr guards in the prison before. Not to mention about Dino and Hannah’s combination attack which has the potential to wipe the entire legion.“You guys, hold yourself. We are not in a situation to create another enemies more than what we already have,” says Toto.“No way! There must be something between them and the one who controled the wolves,” says one of the Kelinians warrior.“We shouldn't have let them enter our village,” says the other.“If only Toto didn't bring them here, we won't...”“For sure you won't be able to survive this night,” Granny Oja suddenly in
Hannah is so shocked, not expecting such a huge firewall to appear. She doesn’t believe such a huge fire comes from Dino’s flame.“Wo, what the hell is that? What’s happening there?” asks Hannah cluelessly.“They must have filled the trench with some oils,” Azzim speculates.“Not at all. There’s no way we would waste that much oil only to create such a scene,” says one of the guards.“We only put dry straw and wood, with so many dry Blaconut shells at the bottom,” explains the other guard.“Blaconut shell?” asks Hannah curiously.“It is a type of coconut, but this one has a shell that contains a lot of gas, much more gas than normal coconut shells.”And indeed, that firewall really looks so weird. The fire is suddenly seen gushing out here and there due to the gusts of strong gas emerging from the burning Blaconut shells at the bottom of the trench.Despite how high the firewall is, those crazy wolves are still so eager trying to cross the trench. Even those who manage to cross it, ar
Right after they receive that news, those inmates rush to the village gate. Hannah becomes the first one to reach the gate, and immediately climbs the gate to join the other guard on the top. She observes all the wolves around the graveyard and at the edge of the savanna. She is so shocked, not only by the huge numbers of the wolves, but also by the strange person among the wolves. There’s one mysterious figure in a goat head mask wearing a dark ragged cloak who seems to be the only human being standing among those wolves. What’s more, Hannah sees a holographic letter above that mysterious figure’s head, citing The Loser No 37. “Don’t tell me?” she mumbles with an awry face. She swiftly snatches out one arrow from one of the guards who stands beside her, and immediately takes aim toward that mysterious figure. Her reckless action makes that guard startled. Suddenly, that guard tries to grab Hannah’s arrow, seeming to try to prevent her from starting a war without the leader’s comm
Granny Oja leaves the room toward the door where Toto is waiting outside.“Please, prepare our guests the best meal we have,” says Granny Oja.“Yes, Mam!” replies Toto.Granny Oja backs to her fireplace and sits there. She also offers them to have a seat in front of that fireplace, while she serves them tea. “To tell you the truth, this country is in trouble. I'm not saying this to ask for your understanding because of the guard's rude attitude. I’m telling you because I need your help.”“What kind of help?” asks Azzim.“Well, it’s a bit difficult to explain. I don’t know who you are, but the problem is beyond our capabilities to handle, to the point we seek help from something beyond our understanding. That is the solution given to me by that voice, a voice that I don’t even know who or what he is?”“But he indeed introduced himself as Bang Sat, right?” asks Leia.Lady Oja takes a deep breath once before giving her an explanation.“I’ve been telling fortune to people, but this is th
There are fields of carrots and cabbages surrounding each house. However, all those vegetables looked wilted. Even most of the plants already look dead from not getting enough sunlight. And there is one huge house at the end of the village under towering rocky hills. The house looks so much different than the other house. It almost looks like a temple, being illuminated by several yellow glowing crystals around its circular roof. Those crystals emit fluorescent light of moderate intensity, seeming to be the only source of light at the moment during the day when the sun is still covered by the eclipse. “Please, wait here for a moment! I’ll go inside to make a report to Granny Oja first,” says Toto to Azzim. Toto leaves Azzim and the others, going inside Granny Oja’s sanctuary. After waiting for a while, Toto comes out to invite Azzim and the others to enter. &nb
After they walk down the hill and get out of the forest, they are now walking down the road in a wide savanna with towering grasses, up to their waists. Some even reach their chest.For a moment, Toto stops and his left ear twitches a few times, as if he hears something. Toto silently looks around him. This invites Azzim's curiosity.“What is it?” asks Azzim.“I don't know. It's just a hunch,” replies Toto. “We'd better speed up our movement. We almost reached Wortelville.”After saying that, Toto starts to increase his speed, even though he doesn't appear to be running, Didi, Nery and Catty have trouble following him. They have no choice but to run so that they can follow Toto.Sometimes, Toto jumps quite high and looks around while he is in the air. And there, he sees some movement of some beasts, stalking them u
