14 Big Update

After getting used to the [War Wolf],s movement pattern, Haon gradually got used to them, albeit him only attacking lone [War Wolves] and still pretty much ambushing them. Haon checked his progress.

Haon was slightly disappointed that he was nearing his limit already though he was quite happy that he reached [Level]:3 and pretty much nearly levelled up again, deciding that he will rest up a bit before continuing again, but before leaving he allocated his [Stat] points, this time he put it all into [Strength] so he now had [Strength]:8(+5)/[P.DMG:65], and checked his spoils.

Even though he was disappointed, he couldn't help but smile a little, Haon soon logged off.

Haon got out of the [Capsule] and took a shower, as he got out, a wave of fatigue got washed over him, even though it was only past midday, he was feeling really tired, so decided to nap for a few a hours before getting back on the grind, he was determined to at least get his progress more than halfway done today or if possible outright finish it tonight, he flopped onto his bed and closed his eyes.

A few hours later Haon woke up in a groggy state his body was aching all over, he truly did feel like he was fighting all day, his body hurt all in the right places, this probably was the reason why many people couldn't make a living out of [Avalon] and most likely why in all of [Avalon]'s lifetime there was almost no massive raid encounter except for one...[Maldug's Wrath Raid], Haon read about its controversy when he was at the company ward. [Avalon], the A.I tried introduce a raid that consisted of a massive demon raid called [Maldug] around 2100 as a celebration for the new century, but it flopped, not due to it being bad, but for being impossible, the raid was so difficult, because even though many people were enhanced with [Stat]s and gear, the hyper realistic drawback kicked in meaning the [User]s were pretty much fighting a massive fantasy demon with all kinds of skills and power with a human limitation, people tried raiding it for 10 years, but to this day it hasn't been completed, the limitation of [Avalon] was seen, the fact that it was asking humans to kill a massive monster made it impossible, [Avalon] saw this and never released a raid of that capacity again...

Haon entered the [capsule], but upon trying to enter a prompt appeared in front of his eyes.

[Avalon] is currently under massive game changing maintenance access is not permitted, time for maintenance is minimum of 48 hours all time gated quest are paused.

Haon breathed a sigh of relief, when he saw that he was worried that his quest was pretty much a failure due to the maintenance, but luckily all time gated quest are paused.

He laid on his bed to rest once more and checked the news on his [Key], as he was checking the news, there was only one topic that kept popping up on every news source,

they were all mostly titled the same way, which was [Avalon massive update released, game changing!!!!], Haon read one news article and his eyes grew, he couldn't believe what he was seeing, he read a few more articles all in different sources to cross check, but they all said pretty much the same thing [Avalon] is reducing fatigue on its game by a massively and are increasing [stat] effects to make it more noticeable, this is due to the fact that [Avalon] wants to expand it variety of content and introduce raids once more, it switching from the hyper realistic, to a more classic mmorpg style, [Avalon] stated that it wanted to make [Avalon] more accessible, it realised that its endgame content was forever locked to many people due to its difficulties and demand on physical preparedness and that people who were pretty much not a bonafide athletic monster, couldn't access anything beyond mid game due to bodily limits and that it was limiting the content created to only human capabilities, however for those that did put time and effort to prepare their bodies to peak condition to play they will still be rewarded by [Avalon] taking into account people fitness levels and people with higher fitness level will naturally have better natural [Avatar] growths and [Stat]s will affect their bodies more, if [stat]s could make normal humans into superhumans [Stats] will make these people more super. Many people rejoiced at this, this meant that everyone could potentially have the skills to become the best and those who trained are still rewarded but also still encourages [User] to physically prepare if they want that increase in strength , but also, people were mainly happy about the raid portion, even though [Maldug Wrath's Raid] was impossible people enjoyed, because it brought a sense of escape from reality, because it was nigh impossible to find something like this in real life, people enjoyed the feeling of escape from the mundane world, and with this update it made sure that it made [Avalon] a life where people lived in fantasy, it also introduced the [Lockout] system, before people could resurrect indefinitely this made no difference because people were fatigued after death and couldn't enter [Avalon] anyways except for those few who had peak bodies, but now since fatigue was essentially reduced significantly the lockout system, which consist of locking out [Users] from [Avalon] after their for 24 hours made sure that dying in [Avalon] meant something, [User]s however will be provided one [Lockout reset ticket] every 24 hours to reset the timer so people could immediately enter again, but after that they had to buy a [Lockout reset ticket] after that if they want to reset again, it costed 1000 [I.R.L Avon coins] per ticket that doubles its cost per buy meaning people could in theory resurrect indefinitely, if you have the money for it, the cost resets once the free [Lockout reset ticket] is gained again, but the free [Lockout reset ticket] cannot be stacked so you only have one a day, people were not happy, but understood the change.

After reading the articles Haon closed his eyes and thought about the change, it truly was game changing, but it didn't change Haon's desire to be the best, this just made his gameplay better, since he could solo more, but also made it more dangerous, because if he died from now he could potentially lose a quest line, he still had ways to go, luckily this made sure that his chances of clearing the entry quest just got higher, but still didn't make him overconfident about the chances of him clearing all the quest.

He closed his eyes once more and slept once again.

Author's note: I changed the setting because I realised that with the hyper realistic setting where body matters what you can accomplish in the game it made it hard for me to make Haon do those cool solo gameplay that you see in other novel similar to this type of setting, so I had to give that up for a better story.
