I looked again at my profile. I found out there was really Inventory. I tried to think about Inventory and a window popped up. Apparently, I needed to think about anything here and it would happen.
My Inventory was like a honeycomb, it was full of blocks. Inside these, I found my spear and also some potions. I knew this one! Back at my kingdom, we used potions too to heal or recharge MANA.
I skipped these potions as she didn’t need to use them now. I called the spear to feel something cold in my hands. I lifted my right hand and saw that spear. It was a good spear. Its weight was like a feather to me. I moved my hands to feel it moved like an extension to a hand to me. It was a great feeling.
“Stop playing princess. You will have enough time to play as you hear wished later. Now let’s go outside this village.”
“You seem to know this place well. You can lead the way, Shin. “
“Follow me.”
I walked behind him. Although he was older than me, we were just a few centimeters taller. I knew that I was a tall slim girl, but he was a tall and muscular boy.
I felt hot looking at this muscular cool swordsman. After ten minutes’ walk, we finally exited the village gate. In front of this village gate, I found a huge open space with no limits at all. There were so many people there that I couldn’t count at all.
“There are many people here.”
“Don’t use the “People” word ever again. You use the word “Players “instead.”
“Players? Ok, there are a lot of players here.”
“Now listen carefully. You have 10 free AP. Assign them as follows: 5 free AP to your Vitality. 3 Points to Strength. 2 Points to Agility.”
“Why do I add points to Agility? It seems useless to me.”
“Speed and Speed of Attack are very important factors to your skills. Here monsters don’t just stop for you to kill! They kept moving at high speed so you need to match their speed. If you don’t, you won’t be able to lay a single hit on them.”
“How do I add these free APs?”
“Open your profile. Next to each stat you will find an add button. Think about adding the number of AP you desire. Then they will be added at once.”
“Ok, I will try!”
I tried as he suggested and I worked. This knowledgeable cool Swordsman! He looked naïve from the outside and clumsy as well.
But he was very keen and patient. He also knew I hid a secret and didn’t ask about it. Did he also have secrets?
“Now let’s kill some rabbits.”
I looked at the horizon. There were huge armies of players attacking these miserable rabbits. I suddenly remembered those cool looking Mechas which I saw before at Almighty city. I asked in anticipation:
“Can I find Mechas here?”
“You mean those huge Mechas that are outside? Nope! Here there are no Mechas.”
“Why? There must be a class for Mech warriors!”
“Actually there isn’t such a class.”
“Then it’s a secret class.”
“There is no such a secret class here?”
“How do you know that? Onita told me before there are many secret classes here.”
I noticed his strange look to me. I felt his hesitation. That was weird! What was he hesitating about?
“Trust me, there is no such a class or secret class like this. The only way for you to have your own Mecha here is to forge it yourself.”
“Really?! Can I build one?”
“Sure. But you need to have a lifestyle class as a blacksmith first.”
I said eagerly:
“How can I have such a class? And what is this lifestyle job?”
“Again, don’t ever use common terms here or you will look suspicious! Lifestyle is a mode of play like adventurer mode. “
“Onita never told me about it!”
“That’s because she knew that you were from outside the Empire. Only those from the Empire have the chance to play Lifestyle mode from the beginning.”
“That’s unfair! Ok, just tell me how I can learn this crafting technique.”
“You used a common term again! You are hopeless!”
I looked at him begging:
“Please tell me. My dream is to own a Mecha and drive it on any battlefield. That must be awesome!”
“You are really so hopeless! Listen; when you go to the town you can learn blacksmith from the blacksmith association. But it needed a lot of gold coins to be able to learn blacksmith class. Also, you need to work hard.”
“What is a town? What is this blacksmith association? What are those gold coins? Are they real gold?”
He sighed helplessly! He looked at me like he was seeing a dump girl. He then explained:
“When a player reaches level 10 he then can go to the town. It’s like a big city in a kingdom. There you can learn new skills and you can upgrade your class. There are also many associations that help players to learn Lifestyle classes for money.
This money is divided into copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins. Each silver coin equals 1000 copper coins. Each gold coin equals 1000 silver coins. And yeah they are all gold!”
I remembered that in my Inventory I had read the word “Copper” before. I checked it to find that I have only 100 copper. According to shin, that was a very small amount of wealth! I needed a lot of gold coins to be able to learn blacksmithing.
“I only have 100 copper coins.”
“That’s natural. Every newbie gets 100 copper as a gift from the game.”
“Then how can I get a lot of coins then? I needed a lot of coins to be able to learn blacksmith.”
“Either we kill a lot of monsters. Each monster has a certain drop rate of coins according to its level and grade. Also, you can get coins from Treasure Chests. Later you can sell the equipment that you don’t need.”
“Slow down a little. Can you explain more to me?”
“Ok, I will explain slowly but don’t interrupt me. Here in Destiny, every monster has a level and a grade.
Higher-level monsters and higher grade monsters have a better drop. The monsters ahead of us are normal grade monsters. Their drop usually has trash equipment and some copper coins.”
“Then how can I get higher grade equipment and more coins?”
“Didn’t I tell you not to interrupt me? Unbelievable!”
“C’mon cool swordsman, tell me.”
“What did you call me?”
“Nothing! I was coughing and not speaking.”
He looked at me in a funny way. I didn’t know that my smile scared him so he took a few steps back and said:
“I already have a GF.”
“Who cares about you? Just answer my questions!”
“If you need better gear then you need to kill monsters higher than those normal grades.
To find those you need to move outside the leveling areas that surround the village. You can also kill monsters higher than your level. But that has a lot of risk.”
“Then let’s kill higher levels then.”
I was determined! He looked at me and tried more than once to persuade me not to do that. I neglected his advice to walk past the rabbits’ zone. He followed my steps looking at me like he was looking at a dead crazy person.
I knew from Shin that after level 1rabbits zone was level 2 sheep. Then level 3 foxes, level 4 wild cows, level 5 wolves, level 6 snakes, level 7 hyenas, level 8 unicorns, level 9 crocodiles and finally level 10 tigers.
When I entered level 2 sheep zone I found a lot of players teaming up to kill sheep. These sheep looked peaceful and comfy. I didn’t want to kill them. When I moved towards the next zone I found many groups of white-skinned foxes running everywhere.
These foxes were one meter tall. They were bigger than I thought. When I looked one in the eye I felt a shiver deep in my spine. That ignited my fighting spirit. You damn foxes are mine!
“I want to kill these foxes.”
“You know you are crazy? These are level 3 monsters! Each has 450 HP! They also have a herd nature.
As you can see they move in groups! If we attack one then the rest of the group will attack us! “
“What is the problem then? Let’s kill them all! The more the better!”
“You are a lunatic! Tell me who will defend you while you kill them? We don’t have a tank!”
“Tank? What is a tank? Is it a class?”
“Yeah, they are the Defenders class. They defend us while we attack these monsters.”
I looked around to see no one but us.
“Don’t you have any friends to contact? You can contact players here, right?”
“Yeah, if you know their names in the game. You can also add them as friends. But I don’t have any friends in the game.”
“Who said so? You are my friend. C’mon, add me.”
“I don’t want to be a friend to a lunatic like you?”
“You damn crazy cool swordsman! Just add me!”
“What did you call me?”
“Never mind. I don’t want to be friends with someone useless like you.”
He was a crazy cool swordsman!
