3 MonsterLand
Mihir and Samar both clicked on the MonsterLand Tab to enter into it. There was This text on the screen," <The minimum requirement to enter the MonsterLand is 120 strength, kill as many monsters as you can to earn prizes and gold, you will enter the MonsterLand for a timed interval of one hour> ". Both the friends had read the screen and knew they could enter into the MonsterLand as they had [Samar-strength 135, Mihir strength 133] as it was almost night of that day. Though, both the friends had no idea what they were going to experience as it was their first time entering a dive. They both had no fighting experience too, which was something too valuable ahead to kill monsters, they only had hunting experience with their dad in a VR game and were thinking it would be a similar experience.
Both the friends clicked "Enter" together and a strange light came out of their pendants and soon this light had enveloped the entire room both the friends were in, and suddenly all of light along with the two friends vanished, to enter into the MonsterLand
Both the boys were warped into a strange terrain, it looked unearthly. They heard a howl of an owl, and these howls were repeating after a regular interval and the sound was getting louder as the friends strolled in dark. Soon they were shocked with the buzzing of the pendant, both their pendants buzzed at the same time they took out their pendant to look at it, both the pendants were glistening with a red light this time. Both the friends didn't know what to do. So Mihir took his pendant and pressed the only button on it. As soon as Mihir did that the pendant grew in size and became a full-fledged sword with a white hilt and transparent blades. And as soon as this happened Mihir felt energy coursing through his veins. Soon Samar did the same thing with his sword which brought to him a dark black sword with a black hilt and black blades, he also felt energy run through him but this energy was chaotic, while the white sword's energy had a sense of serenity.
The normal strength of a person is 100, as the number shoots up his strength increases. For every point of strength, there is a 1% increase in strength. So both Mihir and Samar had an increase of about 30% in strength. And this power activates only when the pendent is in it's sword form.
Mihir and Samar didn't notice a small rabbit running into the field they were crossing by. The rabbit had large front teeth like a canine which gave the look that this rabbit was a carnivore, the rabbit was clearly visible in the dark because it had an unusual white glow, it looked like a special monster in a game.
As the rabbit approached the boys, Mihir took a defensive stance with his sword, it was Mihir's first time fighting so he was rather scared, still, he suppressed his fear and stayed put. As soon as the rabbit approached Mihir, Mihir swung down his sword hard on the rabbit, but the rabbit was agile it was able to dodge Mihir's sword and repositioned itself for another attack. While it repositioned itself for another attack, Samar came over the rabbit and brought down his sword hard on the carnivorous rabbit, but still, Samar's speed was no match for the rabbit's agility, the rabbit hopped and dodged the powerful strike. But the rabbit had hoped close to Mihir and was now under the attack radius of Mihir, Mihir again swung his sword at the rabbit. Though the rabbit had hoped to dodge the attack the reaction time of the rabbit was visibly less this time and Mihir did injure the rabbit. The now scared rabbit ran away from the boys and hid under the bushes and shrubs, but due to the white glow of the rabbit, it was stupidly easy to find the rabbit. After Mihir and Samar found the stupid rabbit, Samar prepared for a strong blow to the rabbit, when Samar swang his swords the rabbit couldn't dodge the attack as it's hind legs where hurt from the last attack, So the rabbit died a gruesome death and there was an announcement that both Samar and Mihir heard, " The carnivorous rabbit is dead, You can collect your loot upon exiting the MonsterLand. "
Mihir asked Samar, " Is the rabbit dead? " Samar replied, " Yes, it wasn't able to dodge after your attack. " Mihir asked, " How much time is remaining in the MonsterLand Timer ". Samar took out his phone to see the timer with half an hour left and replied the same to Mihir.
Samar was walking in front of Mihir while Mihir was behind him both checking for any Monster, while they were walking they heard a rustle, Mihir put his hand on Samar's shoulder, it was as if Samar understood what Mihir wanted to say and both the friends observe silence till they hear another rustle, from the opposite direction this time, both the boys stood still for few minutes then there came an abnormally large bee towards them, the size of the bee was about the same size as a fist. Mihir took out his sword and slashed it on the huge bee the was agile but the attack from the sword was a silent attack and was not visible to the bee it cut the bee in half and yellow liquid started to ooze out of the bee, Both the boys thought that this was very easy, they heard the announcement "A bee of a bee swarm is dead, You can collect your loot upon exiting the MonsterLand" when they heard the announcement they realized that it was not just one bee, now both the friends turn to look and could see the buzzing bee at a distance and they were agitated, the bees were large in size so the buzzing was also very loud.
Both the boys had started running and the bees were following them, but they kept running as killing this large bunch of bee with the sword was not possible and also they had worn no armor to protect them from bee stings, as they were running they saw a river, Mihir quickly jumped in it as he was a good swimmer but Samar didn't know how to swim properly, so he kept running in the direction opposite to the river. The bees weren't able to see Mihir but Samar was visible, but some of the bees trailed off. Samar looked back to see the bees following him and now he was very tired. So he looked in his mobile, the timer for MonsterLand, and was very happy upon seeing it. There were only two minutes felt, he thought it would be best if he kills as many bees as possible so he took out his black sword and started jolting his swords on the bees the bee didn't know what had happened but they could see the gore killing of their friends so most the bees left the fight while some continued to attack, one of the bees was coming from behind Samar and Samar couldn't see it and soon Samar was stung on his left shoulder. Then Samar reached towards his left shoulder with his hand and grabbed the bee and squashed it with his bare hand, his increased strength helped him with it. He saw two small bees approaching him from the front and so he swung his sword, as he sliced through one of the bees, the MonsterLand suddenly stopped.
Mihir had come out of the river in the time Samar was busy taking out the bees. Then Mihir had been looking around the MonsterLand to get a feel for it. While he was doing so the MonsterLand froze. And a panel opened up in front of both the friends.
"< Mihirs panel: The following are gains from MonsterLand Level 1
Gold: 1000 ( For the killing of one huge bee )
White Karma: 500 (For the killing one huge bee )

"
"<Samar's panel: The following are gains from MonsterLand Level 1
Gold Looted: 7000 ( due to killing of carnivorous 1 rabbit and 6 huge bees )
Black Karma: 7000 ( due to killing of carnivorous 1 rabbit and 6 huge bees )
Level 1 Survival Reward: +10% vitality in MonsterLand >
"
Both these panels had a button "dive out", both the boys pressed the button and again a white light came from their pendant and enveloped the entire field on which the boys stood and suddenly the boys vanished from this terrain and reached into the comfort of their home.
Samar was very happy with his reward, he thought it was worth every ounce of pain he endured killing the bees. And his wounds had also magically healed as he returned to his home. Samar realized that the wounds of MonsterLand get healed automatically after coming back from MonsterLand.
Samar shared his findings with Mihir that the Wounds get healed after coming back from MonsterLand. And how his bee sting healed completely after his return from MonsterLand.
Samar than checked the Shop, there were various things to buy but the Incrementers which were available for purchase were
<+10 vitality incrementer cost: 300 Karma, gives 10 Vitality per hour >
<+1 Agility Incrementer 450 Karma, gives 1 agility per hour>
Samar saw this and knew it would be best if he bought both these Incrementers so he went ahead and bought them. Now all his stats were increasing at a steady pace.
Samar also saw a lot of different items available to buy with gold.
<
Leather armor: 1000 gold
Chain mail: 5000 gold
Iron armor: 10000 gold
Sword reinforcement 1: 5e4 gold
Sword reinforcement 2: 15e5 gold
Sword reinforcement 3: 45e6 gold
Horse with mount: 5e7 gold
>
But he didn't want to wear any armor as it would look really odd in the present world.
Mihir also looked into the shop and bought the incrementer of agility which cost him 450 karma and he was left with 50 karma while Samar had 6250 karma left.
Samar asked Mihir, " I understand that I was given black karma for killing the monsters in MonsterLand but I don't understand why you were given white karma for killing the monsters", to which Mihir answers, " I think that killing monsters is also a service to mankind so that might be why I was given the White karma, but I realized that the amount of karma I get is less than what you get for killing monsters. Also, the system needs to award us with something for killing monsters, so karma must be it. "
Then both the boys went to sleep.
