Beginner Area

A series of exclaim echoed.

"Really"!?

"We actually avoided the topic because it sounds so stupid," Berdian said with a deep sigh.

"We were so used to avoid this kind of topic." Harden shooked his head.

They began to recall a memory from the previous game.

There were contracts for everything. Mainly to prevent information leaked for any legendary item.

The unique (legendary) class, 'Shadow Paladin' was included.

The contract also worked as a reward and achievement for anyone who obtained it.

Viro has been told about this. And so, he was not that excited about the news.

"Do you get a contract?"

"No, I don't think I get it. Dunno if I missed it."

"So, you can tell us about the process?"

"It should be. Can you ask the AI, Den?"

Harden tried to summon it then. He asked his AI about the topic.

'Helper' said that without the contract, no regulation to avoid or prevent the content reveals.

Berdian started to lead the discussion with the topic.

"Is that mean, we won't get the money?"

"I think there is no such benefit now."

"I mean, I know money isn't that much a problem for us. But regarding the difficulty and randomness to obtain it, at least we can use it as the achievement for the trouble."

Berdian really couldn't get rid of the frown on his face now.

Arie then revealed the information regarding the Inventor class and its branches.

After that, they planned to come back to the game. For Berdian and Harden who were about to reach level 10, the level needed to unlock the Mainland, their progress was also as important as this meeting.

"Okay then." Still with a not relaxed face. Berdian closed the discussion. "Let's leave our basic information then."

The sibling left the small restaurant and headed back home.

The two siblings reviewed the information they got. Mainly the list of papers they got.

"You are really an Inventor huh? And the first Inventor huh?"

The list of papers showed 4 profile information.

Harden is a Beastkin with a tiger body called 'Stugrd'. Level 7 Warrior planned to become a Barbarian.

It was 1 out of the 4 branches of Warrior. Knight, Barbarian, Swordwielder, and Brawler.

He chose it mainly because of the main weapon of the Barbarian. He would wield big weapons such as greathammer, greataxe, and greatsword.

Berdian was a silver-colored hair Elf named 'Narzael', planned to become a Sharpshooter in the same class from his previous game despite the difference in name.

Viro himself was a golden-colored hair Elf. He made his hair long. Still hesitant between Summoner and Elemental Sorcerer. His in-game name was 'Roivicc'.

The lowest level of the 4 was the man beside him. Inventor, 'Arceede', level 2.

"How can you follow us then? We are about level 10 and left the Village."

"Hope you are not stuck with the trial then."

"What trial?"

"See, I'm level 2 because I search for this kind of information."

"Pfft. Nice try."

They entered their own capsule and login to the game as soon as they arrived.

Silv greeted them and Viro replied back casually to the new AI.

---------------------

Inside the game, 'Arceede' login and appeared on the Village's front gate.

Compared to the first he login, the village looked more cramped. A lot of 'visitors' appeared before his eyes.

There were also some people who login with him at the same time.

He checked his equipment and summoned his weapon. The weapon registered on the equipment tab could be stored and summoned from thin air.

The weapon would take some time to resummon. After about 10 seconds, an orb appeared on his hand.

'10 seconds delay huh?'

It might be to make players always carry their weapons, who knew.

He looked around him and found the 'visitor' had the weapon either on their hip, their back, or simply held it.

He stored the sphere back to the equipment menu. He followed the route to the eastern area.

It was a vast plain area outside.

Some of the players were at a party. But if he counted it, it was actually a minority.

Most of them defeat monsters alone. Wolf, bull, boar.

'No slime huh?'

He walked on the path. On the left and right sides, the area looks crowded.

'I wonder if the northern and western areas are as full. I will continue to walk while looking for a quiet place then. '

During the trip, he asked and collected information from people on the trail.

They said the farther from the village, the more violent the monster would be.

Many people told him not to walk too far.

The players also say 'it's a guaranteed death there'. The monsters' level should be the same as the one on the plain but had higher intelligence.

A pack of wolves was the biggest nightmare they said. Arie began to think that the game was not that beginner-friendly.

He met people with weapons that were different from the others. He wielded a sword with the design of one of the famous car brands in his country.

He might not know who exactly he is, but he knew that he was someone who was the top player on the continent.

1 in 2000. He met one of them.

The man he met said he had died at least 5 times. Of course maybe because he played solo.

But, for a top player from the previous game to died several times in the early game, Arie became quite aware of the difficulties.

He also asked the guy to party with him but rejected it.

With how he cleared the mobs on the farther part of the plain, he gained more profit playing it solo although he had to respawned back to the entrance gate.

The penalty was still not proportional to the EXP and the silvers he got.

Arie assumed that it was because he already has top-notch basics from the previous game to defeat a lot of mobs. Well, because some people he met along the way said that they couldn't even kill a monster there.

He decided to try it.

He summoned his orb and poured his energy to transform it into a crossbow.

The 'crossbowman' walked out of the pathway to look for a mob. He walked further and went to a place where there were few to no people. He found a spawned boar that directly charged him.

'What!? He directly charged me? Am I that close to his aggro range?'
