50 Learning from Mistakes

"We're safe now," Time Walker said while panting for breath. It was exhausting when someone ran that distance. This was to increase the realism. The game would match the body that the players weren't aware.

The others were tired. Emile was the only one fit, so he didn't feel anything from this run. At most, he broke a few sweats.

"Sorry," Emile didn't know what else to say. His arrogance nearly caused the guild to kill them.

Ever since the start of the game, Emile had an easy time going through everything.

He was like flowing water.

Originally, he didn't have much arrogance since he knew what it felt to lose. But after he played the game, he was always on a streak of winning. He won against his father and all the players he had encountered.

He became bolder and arrogant. This boldness appeared when he challenged 60 players by himself. This boldness was useful to have. He improved his skills from this boldness.

But after winning, he continued to win. He received fame from the world announcements which caused him to think he was above others.

This arrogance continued growing until today where he thought he could annihilate all 200 players with his party. He thought he was strong enough to do that.

But his brain awakened from his fantasies and made him realize the truth of the situation.

He promptly made the correct decision to retreat.

He apologized to his party for his arrogance.

"Why," Flower Queen asked. She wanted to lecture Emile. She liked the more humble Emile.

"I was too arrogant for my good... and nearly killed us all," Emile mumbled.

"Will you listen to our advice when we give them," She continued with her serious tone.

"Yes..." Emile said like a child who was being scolded by her mother.

Lily reassured him after her scolding, "All right, don't be so downhearted, as long as you go back to being your old self, everything will be back to normal."

"All right," Her words brightened up Emile.

"That was so exciting. I can't believe I killed 2 people." Beta Flight said while waving his fist around.

"I can't believe I killed 2 people," Withering Willow said with Beta Flight.

It excited them they killed these many players. This was like a dream for them. They didn't know about the amount of kills Emile and his part had.

The party all had red names other than the Handsomest Crab's party who still had the white names. They didn't kill 5 players which were the minimum to get the red name.

42 players were the total amount of kills.

Emile with 12. Flower Queen and Time Walker with 9. The new players had killed a combined total of 5 people. The Handsomest Crab killed 4 and Flowing Dream killed 3.

They picked up all the loot which gave them a decent amount of coins.

"Sorry, I couldn't allow you guys to grind in Song Village," Emile said.

"You guys should look for another village, or clear the easy mode of Riverbed dungeon." Emile gave them advice on how to proceed.

They understood that winning against a guild with only 8 players was impossible.

"We need to create a guild," Time Walker said. A guild would be a good opportunity to gain better players and earn coins to support other functions.

Lifestyle players would come into the game soon. To get a lifestyle class, the player needs to be at least level 10. They could get a lifestyle as the sub-class.

Lifestyle players could get loads of money. If their proficiency was high enough, then they could theoretically create the highest tier items. Though this would take a long time to reach.

Top level players were still level 8. They slowly increased their experience bar and were getting closer to level 9.

A lot of players reached level 8 due to their village having two story quests. The story quests could give two levels if the person had enough skill.

This allowed intense competition to occur. They wanted to get higher in the ranking by leveling up. Emile was still dominating the leaderboard by being level 10.

Players thought it was from the Nightmare Difficulty dungeon. They gained a few thousand experiences from completing the Nightmare Difficulty. They also gained lots of experience from the alligators.

Players tried to go to other villages to complete their story quest and earn more levels but the system denied them. If they took part in a story quest, then they could only take part in that villages story quests. No other village would allow them to partake in it.

They would teleport back to the player's original village if they were in a village that had their story quest activated.

It was rare to hear of any guild that failed their story quest. Usually, it was the players that had the attacking role that failed.

"Guild. Even if we want to create a guild, we can't. We need like a guild creation item," Emile said.

He didn't know what item it was since no one had discovered something like this.

They split up after exchanging a few greetings.

Handsomest Crab's party went to do the dungeon. They could get easy experience even if they died to the boss.

Emile was left with his two party members.

"What do you guys want to do," Emile asked. He didn't know what to do since his life was relatively peaceful.

"I don't feel like hunting alligators right now. Do you guys want to recruit a few members to our party?" Emile asked.

He only had three players in his party. He could recruit seven more players if he wanted to.

"Let's check the Nirvanic Market out. We can find players there?" Flower Queen suggested.

They listened to her suggestion.

Emile told Time Walker about the Nirvanic Market. They visited the Market and went to a popular place. Emile bought a sign.

He wrote: Recruiting People to Join our Party.

Flower Queen told him that this wouldn't work. Players wouldn't join a random party for no reason. Emile had to buy another sign since she wasn't satisfied with it.

This sign said: Recruiting Player's to Join Mystical Flame's Level 2 Party with a Buff in Spirit. We will judge the player.

Flower Queen took the sign and told them to go do their own thing.

When Emile questioned her she replied with, "Players like people who are pretty. It's a natural cycle. They'll think I'm pretty and try out our test."

She showed her name; visible to all players. This would make them realize that she was a part of the party that completed Nightmare Difficulty.

This gave more credibility to her sign.

Emile knew this would work so he left with Time Walker and explored the Market.

"Your ancestor was becoming too powerful. He would surpass the other ancestors. So we grouped up and killed him. We lost a lot of resources because of him." The man said.

"You're here to kill me, right," Lucifer said

"No, I wanted to have a chat with you. If I wanted to kill you I could have killed you in the alley," The man said.

"I have no desire to hunt down the Fire family. I know of some people who would love to kill you." The man said.

So, I will make a proposal to you," The man continued.
