Chapter 8 Level Up

*krrrrr*

As soon as Allen stepped into the area, he heard the familiar sounds of a spider, soon enough he was met with a group of spiders

Level 14 Corrosive Spider

Level 13 Poison spider

Level 15 Poison Silk spider

Level 16 Giant spider

Allen's eyes widened in surprise as he saw the giant spider followed by the other three spiders that weren't small either

The giant spider was as large as him with a shiny outer skeleton that seemed d more like metal casing, it's legs looked more like pincers that could tear through human skin like butter

'No wonder the government hasn't paved a way through the forest, these bastards might be strong enough to take on artillery'

The worst thing was that this giant spider wasn't a rare spider, but only slightly above the common rank

Speaking of which, all things in the New World were Ranked from

Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Divine

Although the monsters looked menacing, A single Sun blast easily took care of the spiders and only the giant spider was alive, though it was also done for and couldn't move or even speak for the matter

'It seems I have grown too strong for common and uncommon monsters, I do have a legend rank Job class after all, perhaps only Rare or above-ranked monsters can contend with my stats and skills'

Allen quickly disposed of the Monsters

[You killed a Level 13 Poison spider]

[You killed a Level 14 Corrosive Spider]

[You killed a Level 15 Position silk spider]

[You killed a level 16 Giant Spider]

[Ding! You earned 1000 exp ][Ding! You have exchanged for 10,000 Exp]

[Ding! You have levelled up] x 3

[Ding! You have obtained Giant Spider pincers x 3 ]

[Ding! You have obtained a poison sack]

[Ding! You have obtained a Corrosive dagger(Uncommon)]

[Ding! You have obtained A strand of silk]

Allen quickly picked up the dropped items, looking at the items in hand. He activated the Exchange for each item, gaining ten times for each item and then proceeded with activating the second option for the dagger

Turning it into a Rare Dagger

[Corrosive Dagger][Rare]

[A Corrosive dagger that inflicts CORROSION on hit, corrosion attack can be stacked up to 10 times]

[+6 to agility, 5% critical hit chance]

"Hmm! This is a pretty good dagger, but using daggers isn't my style, it would have been good if this were a sword, a lance or even a gauntlet, sigh'

Allen put away the dagger in case he needed it later and moved forward, deciding to venture even deeper to the wolf territory, his level requirements for exp had increased considerably, with level 19, he needed a whopping 10,000, three to four times the previous amount

Although he could have farmed in the outer layers with safety, time was of the essence, no one knew when a catastrophe would befall humanity

——

While Allen was easily climbing levels, a certain individual was also gradually levelling up in his own pace, the said individual was Andrew

Andrew could be considered one of the few people that Allen had some friendship with, currently he was dealing with a group of kobolds

Said to be more tenacious then goblins and much more intelligent, but a single wind blade was all it took for Andrew to deal with one

This was all possible because of his unique Talent

[Blessing of the Winds](Epic)

[Born with innate Affinity of wind, you can command the wind. The effect increases as you level up, Less skill points are needed to learn Wind-related Job skills]

[+6 to intelligence each level, + 3 to Vitality each level up]

"Phew! I finally did it, I am level 10 now!"

Andrew shouted in excitement, as he had already visited the Church before, he didn't need to visit again and could already change his job

As soon as he opened the Job class interface, he was met with a unique class

[Wind Master]

[Only available to those blessed by the Wind, Increased Wind affinity and Increased Wind Resistance]

[All equipment carry a trace of Wind]

[+3 to all stats each level up]

[+1 skill point every two levels]

[+ 3 stat points each level ]

[Active Skill- Wind Slicer]

"Of course choose the Wind Master,haha"

A gust of wind came and surrounded Andrew who relished in the refreshing breeze. Though the same breeze destroyed the trees around him

He could feel his strength increase by a good amount, putting away his staff, he pulled out a dagger and threw it at a tree, the normal dagger was covered in wind energy as it carved itself into the tree

"Hmm! Good Good Good!"

"Now I can visit the trainers in the village and learn some basic skills from them using coins, since all my attacks will naturally carry Wind energy, if I learn a simple magic blast, then it will also carry wind energy. Which means each of my attacks will carry elemental damage,haha"

Andrew couldn't help but feel giddy as he made his way back to the village and learned a few skills

Each player could learn skills from specific NPC's according to their class, a swordsman could learn skills related to the sword from swordsmaster in the village and the same for other players

———

On the outskirts of the Forest, A Red haired boy was relentlessly burning and pillaging the goblins that came his way, his eyes burning in anger and hatred

"Damn it! Take this"

He hurled a ball of fire at a goblin, turning around and grabbing another goblin, his hands caught fire and burned the goblin in his hands into a crisp

"Hah!"

Although the kid's body was filled with wounds, his eyes were filled with equal fury, every time he wanted to close his eyes, he would remember the scene of his shamely defeat against the goblins, and to make matters worse

He ended up being a burden to the whole team

*thump* while the boy was distracted, a hidden goblin attacked him using arrows. Though before it could do any damage to the boy or even kill him

It was blocked by a black dagger

"Hank! You need to be careful with your surroundings" Stuart shouted as he threw his dagger at the goblin, the dagger pierced the goblin in between the eyes and the goblin fell and started disappeared from view

In its place, a wooden bow was left, the thrown dagger was picked up by Stuart

Hank seeing Stuart cursed, "shut up and don't teach me, I don't need your help"

Stuart only sighed as he kept following the fuming Hank. He couldn't just leave his best friend who was seeking his death

———

After the first player reached level 10, many others had begun to reach the threshold as well. The humans of Blue Pearl were beginning to adapt to the new status quo

Some thought that much hadn't changed and continued with their normal lives despite the warnings of the beta players they continued living normally

Those who were given Combat oriented talents didn't utilize them, they were happy being able to earn and live in the safety of the human cities and that may very well cause their demise soon enough once the real challenges of games

The more mature and insightful organizations saw the signs and began amassing forces and assets related to the game

The prime such examples are the Players Association of various countries each headed by two or more beta players

The game also kept introducing more features into the real world and the player's strength kept increasing

Most players who had started increasing their levels were already well above level 10,

Some players with better Jobs had even become Level 16 and above

In two days, the world had changed by too much, the Players Association had helped the army pave a way through the Novice Village

The Granite City Mayor, the Head of the Association and relevant authorities had a meeting with the Village chief who was a surprising level 30

In the end, the granite city gained many perks after that, The outer area of the Forest of Solitude became a training ground for all players, both freelance players and those belonging to the Association

At this time, Our protagonist Allen had also been fighting like crazy as he explored the Forest of Solitude

After playing around with the Wind wolves on the outer circle, he had long entered the inner circle

The inner circle was not something that normal players could tackle considering the inner circle had monsters starting from level 25 and above

Even the easiest monster was a level 30 treant

Allen had already leveled up 24 long ago after encountering these monsters, the system was really cruel as Allen understood that each Job class had different difficulties

Those with Legendary classes needed much more Exp than other job classes so his speed had slowed down

However, that wasn't the only problem as he was inside the forest's inner circle

The treants were sneaky bastards that kept themselves hidden using the forest as a cover

In the two days he had been farming in the inner circle, he had only met with a small amount of Treants

Plus his skills were fire-based which caused problems in a forest that was so thickly covered with towering trees

He didn't want to end up starting a forest fire

Allen had sold many uncommon and Rare-grade items in the trader platform, so much so that his name was now pretty famous in the Trader platform

Thankfully he had used the anonymous feature or who knows what would have happened

Allen pulled up his stats pagen
