I knew these descendants were not one camp, but rather different conflicting camps. On only occasions, they unite together, which in case of the appearance of a new Guild Master like me. He told me too that at the early stages of the game, these guilds were weak and vulnerable. But as the game went on, they became a force that couldn't be shaken. There was a new guild that once survived until the fifth year of the game before it was destroyed. He told me to avoid these troubles out of his goodwill. He didn't know that I couldn't ignore these, as I'm already forced to be a Guild Master. When I wondered about the aim of this game, he told me that it was like practice for us. Time here is faster five times than time outside the game, so we can live five lives here if we need it. The final quest of the game was to look for the heart of the game itself. No one had ever before managed to get this heart. If anyone managed to acquire this heart, he would be head to head with the crown prince and aristocratic families. This person could establish his new aristocratic family and had the right to fight for the throne with the crown prince. I remembered that sex lunatic Respon. Should I strive for a fighting chance against him? That seemed like a very far goal for me. Now I needed to just hide my identity and keep it low. When I asked him about his opinion about a similar scenario to mine, he looked at me silently then said very seriously: "Everyone will advise that person to keep it low and never use that stone. But I disagree with them. Frod now is like a huge critically ill monster. This monster needs fresh blood as old blood is already poisoned. There is also another aspect that everyone neglects intentionally. When more than 75% of all guild stones were used, then these guilds could force the remaining stone holders to use their stones. So the guild establishing stone holder was destined to use his stone no matter what. So why doesn't he fight for his life instead of waiting helplessly for his death? If it was I then I prefer to die struggling rather than this shameless death! If the guild was established earlier than others then this player has a chance. If this player manages to gather many skilled players with him then his chance gets bigger. If this player managed to gain access to advanced technology like the Mechas you dream of then his position would be strengthened. My point is this player shouldn't hide; instead, he should plan everything from the early beginnings. This player should fight for a chance to live, who knows, he might be the only game heart is looking for. It's a Destiny game that looked for countless years for this player as his destiny." He was so serious about his speech that I felt shivering in my body. His way of speaking and his looks made me certain he had discovered my secret. He didn't mention that even for a second though. Was he advising me for my best interest? Or should I listen to Respon's Advice? I was in a dilemma. We didn't stop our monster hunt for even one second. After we reached lvl1 we headed straight for lvl4 monsters. When we reached lvl2 we headed for lvl5 monsters. We kept our original Hit and run plan for herd natured monsters. When we hit any solo monster we didn't need that at all. Although we could kill these solo monsters safely, it took us more time to upgrade to the next level. I hated these solo monsters. They made us lose valuable time. Every time we reach a level the XP needed for the next level is always increased by a big amount. When I finished my first day here I reached lvl4. That was a very rapid upgrading speed in Shin opinion. He also stated that I shouldn't expect to upgrade the same way the next day. He told me that the XP needed for reaching lvl5 was 135K XP. That was over 10 times the XP needed to reach lvl1. It was nearly equal to all the previous levels XP we gained to reach lvl4. That means I will need nearly a day to reach lvl5. Then what about lvl6? And the next levels? It looked like a bottomless pit to me! "I suggest we move back to the village. We have a lot of trash equipment that we could sell to the NPCs stores." "Don't you want to keep fighting?" "Fighting now will only weaken our spirits more. In this game, you need to watch out for mental fatigue. " "Mental fatigue?" "Yes. Here you don't only fight with skills and stats. Your brain controls everything. Every 20 hours of fighting you need 6 hours of rest. This is the recommended rule to avoid mental fatigue. If you ignore it, you will lose your consciousness from exhaustion. If you were fighting with monsters then when you wake up 24 hours later, you will find yourself in the resurrection point." "Ok. Let's return then. You know a lot about this game. Have you ever played it before?" He laughed loudly as if I just said a joke, and then replied: "You forgot that I'm from here. I was raised about the legends of this game." "Oh, this game has a history?" "Yes. This game is as old as our empire. Some would go to say it was a relic our founder had found before establishing our kingdom. Some also are pessimistic and warn us about the dangers of this game. They are claiming that it was like the heart of our civilization and the day it finds an heir to it is the day of our Empire's destruction." "They are lunatics! How can an Empire get destroyed because of technology?" "Don't belittle this game silly girl. This game is way more complicated than you think." I was about to say something to him but I was stopped abruptly by the appearance of ten people in front of me. They were like a team together. Their ages were between mine and Shin's. When they appeared I thought they were just passing by the same route, but Shin's face was pale white in obvious fright. "Hey, don't you know that this player is tagged for the death penalty on sight?" "Don't scare this chick boss, she looks like a foreigner." "You need to control your lust more sinek, this girl in all ways will be ours." "hahaha, our Hentar boss is the best." Those idiots thought themselves funny! They kept speaking about me as if I wasn't there! I looked straight in the eye of their big man and threatened: "If you don't leave my sight right now, I will kill all of you!" "Boss, this cat has fangs!" "hahaha, you are wrong keny. This kitty tries to bite us!" They were getting on my nerves! Suddenly I felt Shim holding my hand strongly while saying: "Sorry Agatha of Kronig, this is my problem and I dragged you with me. I will try to hold them off while you escape. This isn't your war to fight." I was about to argue him but the loud voice of those strangers leader interrupted me sarcastically saying: "Don't think using the name of our allied kingdom would scare us! Every day we receive tons of these beggars. Losing one today won't make any effect at all, besides this girl is a top-class model. I want her to be with me to warm my bed!" I suddenly felt humiliated to the degree that I lost all sense. There were ten people in front of me. The higher of these was their leader who was just like me and Shin at lvl4. It appeared that this level was pretty high as he was arrogantly showing it in public. Shin told me before to hide my level as it would cause unnecessary trouble. I gnashed my teeth angrily and words came out with difficulty: "Use the same tactic, Shin. I will start first!" I heard a mumbling sound from Shin but I didn't stop for even a second. I rushed forward with my spear. The ten men team in front of me showed sarcastic smiles as they underestimated me.
