The trio kept looking at the treasure chest for 2 seconds before Shesmu finally took the initiative. Well, they don’t even know how to open these chests so it’s better if I just do it, he thought. In the middle of the chest, there was a button, Shesmu clicked on it, and after 4 seconds of mechanical clicking, the chest opened. …

The red zone didn’t look any different from the normal zones. The trees were still as tall as ever, blocking the moonlight from illuminating the way for any traveling party. However, Shesmu and his friends didn’t take any risk. Even though the scenery looked the same as before, they have been very careful with their steps, stopping every dozen seconds …

Leo was leaning on a tree, checking his inventory. There, he could find the money he gained from killing the goblin. His 10 coppers turned into 20, but he couldn’t tell whether the additional 10 all came from the goblin he killed or both of it and DepressedRyan last hit.   Moments after, he heard shuffling from the direction Ryan …

Shesmu walked slowly towards the dead goblin and pulled out his sword. Omega9 really have the worst of tastes. Making these monsters so realistic and have survival instinct… Although his heart was still heavy, Shesmu kept his head high. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Leo. The man was fighting with all of his might, he kept blocking …

“You guys are trash.” Shesmu could no longer hold it in his heart anymore. Being a roleplayer was one thing, being so bad was another. At this point, he had mixed feelings of anger and pity towards the couple. The girl became flustered when she heard Shesmu’s insult, “Hey! Yes, you saved us, but that doesn’t give you the right …

“Your grace… I-I implore your pardon! The capital has not told us that someone as important as you would be a member of the training regimen!”   The instructor was sweating profusely, stuttering in his talk as he apologized to Shesmu.   I really will never get used to this. And it’s not even a title that I could just …

“Sorry for the wait guys. Let’s get going, the forest of beginning is still waiting for us.” Shesmu apologized. Once he started training he forgot about the notion of time. In those few hours, nothing existed in his mind but the sword in his hand. “No problem, and yeah, we should get going. Everyone already left a while ago.” DepressedRyan …

“Treasures?” Shesmu asked, his faked surprised expression veiling his inner thoughts. For how long will I need to keep feigning ignorance? Please, someone, get me out! “Yes, treasures. These can have any number of items, from weapons to armors to anything else. If we get to open some of these, we can swap out these trash pieces of equipment for …

As Shesmu and Leo made their way towards the latter’s mysterious friend, they chatted and talked about their past. “So, Leo, what game were you playing before jumping onto Ashes of Gods? You talked before about Omega9 games.” Shesmu then thought for a bit before guessing. “Wait, don’t tell me yet. You were maining Hero’s Journey Last Stand before this …

Next to the wooden buildings in which the players were first taught the basics of their class was an open space. This one’s air was nothing but normal as it had an orange hue to it. If one focused, they could see orange particles blinking and ascending the air currents. The place was surrounded by magical runic symbols, carved on …
