Shua! Back outside, the white pod opened slowly as Felix stepped out.
"Hu!" he groaned twisting and flexing his body, "Ah, that's the stuff, I should start going to the gym soon."
[1st January 2120 Friday 16:40]
'Five hours in real life, ten in-game the Exon company did good making this,' he thought walking out his room, he went into the kitchen and started taking out ingredients, "Some rice that way dad can eat while I'm playing."
He looked at the knife in his hand, realizing, 'I need to buy throwing knives... I should also check my balance.'
[Felix Green]
[Balance: ₤2,178]
He finished cooking and sat down enjoying a nice meal, "Nice once I get the order for the saviours guild I can put half of it into some stock," He paused in between eating, curious he checked the official discord of Fallen Online
'Haha,' he chuckled, seeing all the attention was about him and how he managed to solo a field boss on his own.
Some mentioned France having trained a secret elite, as his name had never been heard in any previous game
'Exon doesn't sell players Information, so I shouldn't worry, but that doesn't mean people can't find you in real life, though.'
Bzz!
His phone buzzed, he hung up immediately it was an unknown number, 'Jessica please,' he blocked the number and went to prepare a meal for his dad before placing it in the oven with a note saying open me.
'It'll still be nighttime in the game, but I can waste time,' he sighed and went back to his room he sat on his laptop and went on to write down the guide he'd sell in the meantime.
...
[Welcome back to Haven player Apex!]
He opened his eyes and found himself back in the Inn. He rose, stretching his avatar, and checked his inventory.
Inventory(rare): 7/25{[Berugas Fang(Blue)] [Berugas Hyde(Blue)] [Berugas large Bones(Blue)] [Berugas Bones Claws(Blue)] [Farming Equipment(Grey)] [Cooking Equipment(Grey)] [Recipe book] [Broken ring of growth 1/2]}
"Each clot can hold up to at least 10 stackable Items so in total that's 250 books."
He closed his inventory and left the Inn outside he wasn't to the market to purchase the supplies of meat and seasonings he'll need to make Breaker steak, as well as some potions health, mana and stamina with some bandages.
Soon he arrived in front of a renting building he asked for an empty room to unload his cooking equipment.
Rubbing his hands Apex began to make preparations.
[Breaker steak (Purple)]
[A steak cooked to masterful perfection, as you break and eat the meat within, you will break your limits, +2 to all attributes except special attributes can be heated 5 times.]
He nodded, 'Good, This'll probably take all night,' he breathed in, preparing himself for the hard work ahead.
As he prepared, fried, and simmered the meat, he went through his plan in his head,
'First I'll need to make at least 500 of these, half for the saviour guild for ₤24,900 adding the tax that's twenty thousand.'
[Breaker steak (Purple)] x29
'With the rest, I'll sell them for 30 silver by now with missions and hunting people should have some silver coins or even one with them... with the money.'
[Breaker steak (Purple)] x129
He focused and kept on repeating preparing and repeating, he was getting swifter and more accurate just as he reached his 200th dish.
Shua! The plate shined along with it and everything.
[You have made a greater dish]
[Breaker steak (Purple)]
[A steak cooked to masterful perfection, as you break and eat the meat within, you will break your limits, +4 to all attributes except special attributes can be heated 5 times.]
"Damn, that's perfect shit, but I can't eat this. I can sell this for more though," he smiled looking at the dish it was tempting, "It smells so good."
He smiled painfully and went back to work, "After this, I can follow the map." with that he focused and kept on cooking, gaining 40 exp for every dish he made the amount of exp gained correlated to the dishes rank from common to legendary it increased by 10.
After three hours he was finally done, he had made roughly 400 dishes, five hundred seemed like too far of a goal, and he stopped gaining exp after cooking for the hundredth time.
[You have gained 4000 Exp!]
[Tier: 0 Level 14 Exp: 1255/1400] Coins: 1188 gold 700 silvers 15 bronze.
[You have gained 6 Attributes]
"I only made 3 great steaks, hah," he plopped on the floor and put the cooking set in his inventory.
While sprawled on the floor, ha lazily moved his hands and deposited the 249 breaker steaks.
[₤20,524 has been sent to your account]
...
After returning to the Inn and resting for a while, he left, after placing up the 148 breaker steaks for ₤300 Euros and the three for ₤500 with a bid increase of 5.
'This should make me some decent money it's still night most shops would be closed, I can't buy my own house or land anytime soon,' he thought while walking around the city aimlessly watching the stars and the buildings covered in warm lights by the floating lamps.
'Right the map maybe I can find the other half of the ring,' he pulled out the uncommon map he got from the chief.
[Uncommon treasure man] [May lead to doom or treasure.]
'It's not a goldmine or an ore map sadly, but I'm feeling lucky,' he only remembered some small goldmines that would last a while but none of them was in reach so sadly there was nothing he could do.
"So where are you taking me?" he spoke in the night following the map.
He paused a moment and shrugged, if it was there then he'll be fine he left the city in a cart while inside was writing in the journal he had, these were basic tips on the cities and how things functioned.
"Are you sure you want to enter at night?" the driver turned back to him.
"Hm? Oh yeah, don't worry, with my night vision I can see fine in the dark," he reassured the driver.
Nodding, "Ah that's one thing I'm jealous of," he chuckled, "Have you ever heard the legend of the lake spirit?"
His feathery ears perked up from the journal, this was something he somewhat remembered.
"I think I've heard of the legend she grants power to those who drink her water, right?"
"Yup, my cousin says he saw the lake in the night, said it was the only time she showed herself, but when he went back the lake was gone."
"At night huh..."
The driver looked back and chuckled, "you think you can find her?"
"Me, I'm not sure," he shrugged and started writing in his second book.
The driver looked back at him smirking, and focused on the trail, "..."
Eventually, they reached the forest, and he got off, "I'm heading back now, so you be safe."
He nodded and entered the forest, 'The map is leading me near the ruins west of here.'
He closed it and drew his spear, this would be ample time to start grinding too. He walked through the forest, careful to watch his steps.
The roots of these trees extended and covered most of the ground. He took a wrong step and the roots shot up like a hatch.
'!'
Thunk! -87!
"Grah!" the roots shot open and beneath the tree shot out a wooden alligator!
[Trunkgator (Level 13)]
Health: 400/400 Mana: 300/300 Energy: 300/300
'Sneaky fuck!'
The moment it roared, the roots of every tree shook, revealing multiple facing him. They were made of wood and dirt, fire is effective, but he wasn't an Elementalist or an alchemist, yet.
'Hard way it is then,' he got in a stance and screeched!
"Grwaar!" The first charged, he jumped and thrust his spear.
Shunk! -164 Critical!
Right in the fucking eye! He drove it in, even more, dealing more until it died.
[+30 Exp]
The others glared with killing intent and charged towards him, 'There slow in speed, so I can avoid getting hit,' he jumped from tree to tree using his wings to float short enough not to drain his stamina.
He swung his spear below at their eyes and nose at most, dealing his peak damage and critical, fighting in the forest was one of his favourite ways of combat.
"Gwaar!"
Shunk! -30! 'SHIT!' One of them jumped, trapping his leg in its jaws, it kept on biting.
-10, -10, -10!
Health: 133/200 Mana: 200/200 Energy: 230/230
[-50 Energy] [Spark]
He grunted his spear covered in a small current of electricity and he stabbed into the gator wooden skull!
Shunk!
All at once, its face jolted before exploding, 'It's not over yet!' He jumped into the air raising his fist high, "Raah!"
[-120 Energy]
Bam!
He slammed the ground as a fear froze the gators and a current burst through each of them paralysed and frozen with fear Apex raised his weapon and dashed hacking at each of them.
There were only seven of them, and yet he was fighting with his smirk never falling. they were paralysed longer than just 3 seconds because of his spark skill.
Swish!
'Ha, the last one, phew,' he picked up the drops.
[+210 Exp You have levelled up]
[Tier: 0 Level 15 Exp: 65/1500] Coins: 1188 gold 700 silvers 15 bronze.
[Hard wood]x12
It was, as the name suggested, hardwood.
'This is going to be a long night,' he sighed sitting back against the tree taking out some bandages and wrapping them around his bleeding foot.
He walked deeper into the forest, while outside in the city other players had arrived, and more he and his foods were being talked about on the forums and more DM's were being sent his way.
"Hah phew," Apex wiped his forehead he had just killed another group of Trunk-gators while searching in the night. He purposely took longer and travelled around the forest to remember its layout and markdown descent locations for the journal guide he'd been writing. And as he got up to search he soon arrived at the west end of the forest he could tell because in a mix with the forest were Standing and broken pillars. "Where the fuck is this place!?" Apex bellowed he had been walking for at least two hours killing Trunk-gators left and right. He stood in the centre of it all gazing at the uprooted stones and pillars with wild archaic symbols. He didn't remember the lore of this place, 'Something about the dryad I think,' but he didn't care. 'Uh, alright it says there's a cave between a pillar and tree marked in an upside-down v so were,' he paused looking around none of the trees or pillars were leaning together and most on the ground were shattered an
[2nd January 2120 Saturday 9:12 am] "Mn..." Apex groaned in bed. He woke up and tried to push himself out of bed, only to flop. 'I need more power!' he tried again to push himself, but the urge to sleep was stronger! Flop! 'Uh, I can't win!' he struggled once more, with some epic music to fuel him. The song reached its best part. "Ha!" he pushed himself out of bed. He got up, looking back down. 'One minute wouldn't hurt,' [10:03 am] One minute became another until he fell back into sleep, "Yawn... I regret nothing." Moments later he left the shower with his phone in hand, "The hell is with the internet?" He checked YouTube the moment he entered and found a video on him to be on the recommended page. "Who is Apex? Frances hidden expert. Hahaha, I'm not hiding," he laughed changing himself and heading downstairs, on the table he found breakfast already made with a letter for him, "Thanks, dad." He scrolled more and paused
"Oh, he put the guides back up," Blackswan said checking the market like before. "Hold on, Apex!" Arnold called out to the pink man, "yes?" he turned back to the green dragonkin. "Are you going to attempt the Tre-Ent Dungeon?" he asked emphasising the word attempt. "Yes I am, and before you ask I plan on doing it solo," Apex didn't want to share the loots, and he was going to attempt every difficulty and wanted to do it alone. "What that's insane, you're insane! It doesn't work like that, you can't solo everything!" Satya shouted she felt like she just met the most egotistical person in her life thinking he could do anything alone because of some achievement that made him popular. Although some of her hate came from jealousy as she calculated how much he made honestly, and now he had just doubled that. "I beg to differ," Apex shrugged and left, he needed to learn his potion-making skill. ... Apex was sitting in a grey r
[Jaws Forrest]In the centre of said forest surrounded by trees was in itself a larger tree, but this one had a pitch-black opening in front this was the dungeon of the forest, the Tre-Ent Dungeon outside were a gathering of player forming groups to tackle the dungeon, and inside a group of five were hard at work fighting wooden wolves.Pak! -77Re-bunny dashed and stabbed one of the wolves in the side with her knife and kicked it away.Her friend black swan was also fighting against a wolf of her own and in-between as Arnold the green dragonkin holding an Iron shield facing three on his own."Satya!" he shouted to the elf behind him."I know!" she waved her staff and a green light surrounded him. He shouted to the wolves a red aura forced itself on them drawing them to him, and he swung with his sword slashing all three.-76! -76! -87!Eventually, after their hard thought battle, all the wood wolves died.Finally, Satya
"Holy shit!" outside the dungeon in the jaws forest camping beneath a tree was a group of four these were the saviour guild and that shout belonged to Arnold.He out of the three were shocked watching the video of Apex's beat down against the group of 10.Satya the elf glared at him, "Did you have to shout like that?""I'm not apologising to any man seeing a stick shoved up another guy's ass or kicked in the balls can feel his pain, my shout is justified."She crossed her arms mumbling, "I wish you felt that pain," to herself.Besides the two where the red fox woman Blackswan, the silver fox woman Re-Bunny were scrutinising the video ignoring their friend's comments.Blackswan nodded to herself having learned something, "I think we should send this to all our guild members," she said to her friend.Agreed, "The way he fights..." Re-Bunny said."He's got anger issues for one, and two this isn't a game I just realised that from w
They botch clashed shaking the roots beneath them their continuous exchange of blows reverberated in the air! 'Damn! For being made out of wood your seriously tough!' He grunted dodging beneath one of its massive swings slashing upwards! -80! 'Yes!' this wooden yeti has 80 Energy meaning its attack and defence were the same so long as it doesn't have an energy skill, and the ring of growth allowed him to increase his strength boosting his power to equalling the mini-boss. Slash, slash! "Roar!" A green aura pushed Apex back slamming against the moss walls. Crack! -20 Hp Health: 280/300 Mana: 200/200 Energy: 600/650 'That was magic,' He coughed up blood looking up at the Yeti it sunk its fists in the ground growing into vines wooden spikes started shooting up from the ground heading towards him. "Nope," he said flying back to gain distance, but it didn't stop the spikes from rooting, with a second glance he notice
Outside the white pod hummed to life opening Felix waltzed out in a daze, boy was he tired he wasn't sure what time it was.[2nd January 2120 Sunday 01:40]"Oh," he gave and flopped on the bed.'I wonder what dad would say about moving house?' those were his last thought before he fell to sleep.Somehow Felix magically woke up just before his alarm and shut it off."Old habits die hard," he smiled getting up from bed, some light stretches and a warm bath, and he headed down for some breakfast."Dad?"His father sitting with a cup in his hand nodded to greeting back before pointing to the table with a serious look on his face, "son take a seat.""Sure... is everything alright?""I'm asking the questions here, I. Ah got a call from the bank something about freezing your account your statement has increased and when I heard the amount..." he stopped glancing at his son.Felix nodded already knowing where he was going
[Monday 3rd January 8.45 AM]Thirty minutes later Felix stepped out of his shower, "was it the right choice to move to such a big house? I'm not planning on anything big..." he said to himself.On the way back he realised how big his new home was this was demanded a lot of things."If I move again it'll just seem like I'm bad at handling my money, should I put a job application?"He stepped out dressed in some casual clothes and called another taxi to school.Another half-hour and he arrived in front of the building, white prestige high school, he waited by the gates a while."Hey, Felix!" Jack shouted from afar behind him his sister Claire, "Hey guys." he greeted back."So you and Lisa are finally dating~" Jack cooed wrapping an arm over him, "took long enough.""Lisa called me making sure she didn't dream it honestly it was cute," Claire admitted, "congrats you're now a decent person again." she grinned."So we'r
