"What is this?""Oh... this is a magic stone. It occasionally appears when some materials from the defeated monster's body are obtained! However, not many monsters can possess this; only a few of them with unique characteristics! This stone can help unleash certain powers!"Still confused, Highess only has a common understanding of the object's function.Many games also use a similar theme. Rare items that can help unleash power."Alright, I'll take this!"As he touched it, his palm instantly felt a strange effect—a slightly warm sensation and a glow."Oh... confirming the skill! What does this mean, a special attack with a sharp, crescent-moon sword!"These letters spontaneously appeared as he touched it, with an option to cancel. For a few seconds, he hesitated with a face staring at the screen, a bit confused, trying to imagine whether this special ability would be useful or if he should wait for another magic stone."For now, I might need it! It would be a shame to delay something
With such a scale of attack, it's difficult to imagine anyone being able to avoid it. This player continued to survey the area, making sure the target that had been shot earlier was hit.The atmosphere was silent, with no sign the attack had hit the target. The traces of the explosion still lingered on the ground as the player slowly approached.This player understood instantly the attack might have destroyed the target's body, this assumption is strengthened by the confirmation from the game system that showed no signs of life activity.Quickly, that player flew into the sky, carving a path through the parted clouds. Then, vanished from the location without a word."Huh..." Meanwhile, Highess, who was just a new player, never imagined encountering someone terrifying like that."This is insane, who was that person earlier? That player fired shots at me, and it even made the ground like this!"At that moment, his fear escalated even more, his entire body unable to withstand the shock c
Although he said so, the reality is that life within the game is just an illusion. Despite repeatedly trying to feel happy, Highess' heart still felt empty.After defeating several monsters, he sat contemplating on a large rock. The journey initially felt very burdensome, not because he found the game difficult, but more of whether he was capable of solving this problem."I never thought I'd come this far, but it's still just the beginning! I'm sure other players have much better lives, some are supported by others, or maybe they can even make money from the game!" Whatever he said, this condition still felt empty and confusing.After spending some time hunting alone in the forest, Highess chose to return to the town. Many players logged in, but he didn't greet any of them or those who didn't intend to get to know him.The bustling atmosphere of the town, so lively, didn't make his eyes flinch; he always stared straight ahead. His unique appearance still seemed unusual; many glanced c
Highess's heart raced rapidly; he hadn't expected to encounter a giant scorpion, and there was information suggesting the creature before him was in the boss area.Its name was Scavenger Scorpion, presenting a solid body equipped with two claws and a giant tail, all gleaming with deadly menace."Calm down, I probably should have realized this earlier! Why am I here? Do I have to face monsters like this first in this game?"Unaware his steps had inadvertently entered the monster's territory, the initial atmospheric pressure should have served as a stern warning for players not to get too close. However, this was often ignored, leading to moments like this."Gragh..."Without waiting long, the large monster launched an attack. Its massive claws quickly shot forward, delivering a powerful blow that shattered the ground, sending debris flying in all directions.Highess's body was enough to evade the attack, but he was confused about how to defeat a boss monster with such obvious power."I
His actions may have been very reckless; very cautiously, he approached the scorpion. The sound of his footsteps constantly heard, served as a signal for the scorpion to attack. Every sound heard indicated a looming strike from either its tail or claws.Highess's body is almost being hit several times, thanks to his ability to play various games. Within the predetermined range, Highess prepared his sword. His eyes traced every inch of the scorpion's body, carefully observing which parts he could attack.Previous attacks had informed him that regular slashes wouldn't work; he needed to use special skills to increase his strength's effectiveness.It sounded easy, but it was far more complicated. The longer his movements, the easier he would be detected, and as soon as he attempted to step forward, the scorpion reacted. The scorpion's tail shot out like lightning.Ting..."I understand now that you'll know I'm here!" Instead of dodging, he used this situation to parry; the force of this
"Is that a player?" Steysa asked, her voice trembling."I don't know, but he has the name of a player..." replied Edward, also trembling.How could they imagine there was a player who brutally slaughtered the green lizards, and then laughed gleefully about it? Such actions already hinted at psychopathic behavior, which certainly made their bodies shiver.Slowly, Highess ap
"I thought I could feel what it's like to get new gear earlier, now I have to wait about 1 week from now!" Whether he liked it or not, procedures like this had to be done by Highess. After playing for quite long, he decided to take a break.Lying on the bed, his mind lingered on the atmosphere inside the game, so liberating. It felt like it had been happening for years, and his body missed that atmosphere."If only my life were in the game..." The exhaustion
"Wind Blade Slash..." Strong gusts of wind swept through the path of his attack, suddenly opening up the floor, and scattering debris across the hallway."Really terrifying! The sword's power you wield is truly fascinating; I never expected to witness it..."This wasn't fun or a source of pride for Beni; they had been engaged in battle since earlier, but there were still no signs of either of them losing.Slashes with such destructive force were advantageous, but when paired with an agile opponent, it felt futile. Beni kept trying to injure Douger, with no time to continuously face a player like this. Unfortunately, his opponent this time was a tough player who had outmaneuvered him several times before."I have to try to stop his movements, but how?"Swush! Swush!Douger's body leaped around, not only that, but his hands also threw many sharp knives that had to be avoided. Beni's passive protection activated whenever an attack came, his eyes widened upon realizing the thrown knives c
