First World Announcement
Luke turning around threw the sword with his full might towards the core of the forest opposite to the direction where the Undead was fallen on the ground. The Undead on the ground can only watch while his sword together with the hand was flying away deep into the forest. The Undead stood up again and gaining quite a better understanding of his body after falling 2 times, he ran towards the direction of the sword but this time maintained a slower running speed than before, his body was constantly adapting how to move around even with the loss of an arm.
Since from the very name, the existence of the Undead Swordsman lied with his Sword, the Undead now was not even focused on Luke, he only had one thing in his mind to find his sword. The Undead ignoring the existence of Luke keel making his way towards his Sword, while Luke was standing watching the Undead who was now ignoring him like he was some kind of Weed which grows everywhere in the forest.
But will Luke let the Undead peacefully pass by and to find his sword only to kill him later on, Luke stepped his feet forward while whistling in the air on the way of the Undead causing the running Undead to stumble from Luke's feet and falling on the ground by face for the third time.
"OH Sorry! but you should look down on the road and be careful while walking or you can fall-ll" said Luke playfully.
Luke being generously kind he was, did not letting the fallen Undead go through the hard work of rising up for the 4th time. Luke sat down on the back of the fallen undead.

TONG
The sound of the mace hitting the Undead skull without any force can be heard. Luke played with the Undead skull like he was playing a Drum with his mace being the drumstick, Luke said while looking at the struggling Undead "You see normally I would have already killed you but since you are Elite Grade, I cannot let you die peacefully to my mace because I also have to grind my skills and my skill will level up faster hitting a stronger enemy and you are stronger than me so, please bear the pain for some time. Oopsie! but how can I forget that an Undead can't feel pain and please don't move around too much because I do not have a skill for riding the undead, so its quite hard to balance on this strugg...(Cough) moving body of yours".
If only the Undead could understand Luke, he would start cursing his ancestors because Luke is not even letting an already dead to even die(eternal rest) peacefully.
Luke taking out the Lyre started playing while casting 'Mana Wave' after 'Mana Wave' whenever the cooldown was over after around hitting the Undead for 5 times, Luke heard the sound of skill levelling up in his head but he did not stop even after hearing the sound.
Many numbers popped up above the head of the undead
[-11]
[-8]
[-10]… and so on
After around casting 'Mana Wave' for a total of 9 times Luke's MP bar went empty
The stats of the Undead now showed

Grade: Semi-Elite
Level: 15
HP: 220/350
MP:40/100
Luke went for the mace after grinding his skills and after striking the skull of the Undead for only 3 times with full force the suffering life of the Undead came to an end. His body disappeared leaving behind a pair of boots and a core.
Critical Hit! X3
Greater Experience Gained for killing an enemy above 10 levels
You Level UP!
You Level UP!
"Finally, something" said Luke happily. Luke was so happy that the Undead Swordsman dropped something because after grinding for nearly about half a day, he finally got his hands on something usable and the happiness made him literally ignore the notification of levelling up.
Luke kept the items in his Inventory while he started to 'Meditate' because Luke did not have enough MP to even use 'Inspect' skill on the loot he got, this time it only took him about 5 min to restore back the lost mana.
Taking out the boots Luke casted 'Inspect' on them

"The skill and the increase in stats both will help me a lot because both my Agility and defense stats are lagging behind from the other stats." said Luke while wearing the boots.
The Monster Core dropped was technically the Magic Core of the monster, around the size of a tennis ball, green in color because of containing the wind elemental mana inside it. The Monster Core was no use to Luke currently and he can only sell away the cores either to the Alchemist's Guild directly or to the Adventurer's Guild.
Luke did not want to waste any more times on the Undead because hunting the Goblins in night is 10 times more difficult than in day and waiting for another day is just waste of time.
Luke followed the map and started his journey towards the first goblin settlement which was around 300 meters away from him.
On the midway Luke heard the sound of huge amount of firecrackers. Luke looked up only to find that the first World Announcement was being made to the whole World.
In the sky with huge red colored lettered words started to appear. Player who can not watch the announcement in the sky can also see the same kind of announcement in their Status as well.

The chats were exploding in the community.
"Hmm! Player Lucifer the future guild master of the Chase Guild who will be in the top 10 Guilds. The Guild was famous for its high paced grinding and selling set items to the players at a slight lower price compared to the Auction House and the Merchant Guild, the income of this guild was pretty high if I am not wrong and the Player Lucifer has quite a personality for hunting as well" Luke muttered while recollecting the future information of the player.
"Well I do not to worry that much because he will be soon removed from the 1st Rank because he is not only pro player in the game there are those 'monsters' as well" said Luke while continuing his way towards the First Goblin Settlement.
