Bully

White River City was one of the five major cities in the kingdom.

The place was something towns had no chance of competing with, the much taller buildings, the large variety of them and the amount of NPCs living in the city was incomparably higher.

Arriving at the city, Leroy didn't know where to start looking at, so he went to the city hall which should be in the center of the city.

He arrived at the Trade Area, dozens of differents shops decorated both sides of the main street, bars, restaurants, clothing and armor stores, alchemy and smithies, it was a so much better than what a town like Falling Moon could provide.

In the city hall, Leroy saw another player, and the player saw him. Both have calm expression as they regarded each other, yet they could not evade the ripples in their hearts from inspecting each other.

Shi Feng was shocked, this wasn't supposed to happen, there shouldn't be any player arriving so fast at White River City yet this player seem to make it to level 10 so fast. He tried to see his identity only to find his name was Sensations and a Level 10 player, yet his class appeared as '???'

'This player already got a hidden class?' Shi Feng tought to himself as his shock grew.

Leroy was equally shocked, but for a different reason. 'This person... actually has an aura of rebirth to him!' he almost spoke out while lost in tought, this was a so rare even in that realm, he didn't expect to see something like this on this place. 'Could it be that my arrival caused an accident in this place?' He couldn't understand, but when a baby was born they would have this aura unique to them, linked to their rebirth, yet this was clearly not a baby and still had such an aura...

"Sensations..." Leroy was the first to approach the other player, it was a swordman with two swords on his back and black armor.

"Ye Feng" Shi Feng came back to his senses and introduced himself too.

"Do you have a quest here?" It was Shi Feng who asked, he could see that this player had no Guild Emblem to him, so he should be an independent player.

"Hmm not really, but I hope to get some high level quest here before others" Leroy replied, others would be cautious about sharing their intentios but it would be fine if he could become acquintance with a person like this, someone who managed to rebirth like this would probably have a lot if not all memories of his past self.

"Ooh then let's head inside together, the best quests should be here for the first players to arrive" Shi Feng was actually having similar toughts, a player who he didn't predict, actually managed to reach Level 10 so fast, it was actually a mage like class and had no Guild supporting him. 'He is definetly a peak expert' Shi Feng understood, he was also curious that this player wasn't wearing any weapon but didn't ask.

The city hall of White River City was a large building with ten floors, almost the size of a football field. At the entrance, more than twnty knights stood guard. Their captain was a Level 160 Knight.

The moment they stepped inside, a beauty walked to them.

"Is there anything I can help you with, sirs?" he asked while blinking her beautiful eyes.

"I wish to see the Magistrate, Lord Weissman" Shi Feng said and displayed a title to her.

"I heard that the city hall were having some troubles and could use some help, so I came" Leroy 'explained' casually.

In the end, Shi Feng waited in the lounge while Leroy followed the NPC to the desk.

While they waited to get their quests, the Guilds were putting three times the effort to level up to 10 as fast as possible. The benefits from entering the city before others should be too high. Informations as the leveling grounds, resource rich locations and high level quests, only after entering the city they would be capable of searching for this information. This information was most valuable for guilds, they could be ahead of others and monopolize the best locations and obtain quests before others.

The NPC gave Leroy a quest to hunt for a BOSS monster.

"Well brother Feng, I got my quest, we'll see each other some other time" Leroy left with a high-level quest.

"We'll definetly meet once again" Ye Feng nodded.

Leroy went visiting some shops around before going to look for the monster. He didn't buy anything yet but it was good to check the market and gather some information.

Outside the gates, Leroy walked toward the location the BOSS from the quest was last seen, which was at a forest nearby.

It didn't take long to him to arrive at the forest, where he saw many monsters from different levels.

White River Wolf (Common)

Level: 11

HP: 1200/1200

White River Wolf (Elite)

Level: 12

HP:5600/5600

There were a pack of five common wolves and the elite.

"Summon Skeleton Warriors" Leroy chanted the skill and twenty skeleton warriors appeared by his side. With his weapon passive he increased his skill's Tier by 1, also his summoned creatures would be five Levels higher than his while also having their attributes amplified.

Skeleton Warriors

Level: 15

HP: 5300/5300

"Isn't this a bit too much of an overkill?" Leroy was surprised to see that a single skeleton was almost as strong as an elite monster.

"It's show time, get to work" He commanded and the skeletons inmediatly rushed to the wolf. Slashing and choping, with twenty enemies around, the wolfs didn't last much before being slaughtered.

-2300

-2200

-2330

His Tier 1 summons dealt huge amount of damage, the Level suppresion also made the wolfs almost unable to counterattack.

His exp bar rose by 15% as the elite died, it also dropped quite a lot of items, from materials to some mysterious iron equipment.

"Don't just stand there, bring me the loot" Hearing him, the skeletons sheated their weapons and started picking up the items and walking toward him.

Leroy was surprised that this creatures would actually listen to him and do such a thing, they should only be capable of battling right?

"Stop, form a line and put the items here." He commanded while pointing his finger to the ground close to him.

The skeletons looked at him, and he looked at them.

"You fools!" He cursed and walked towards a skeleton holding a piece of wolf skin.

"Don't move" he said, and walked to the closest one. Grabbing it by the arm, he moved it to the back of the first skeleton, as he did with the third one...

Finally, ten skeletons stood in line with the loot items on hands while the rest stood guard, seeing this, Leroy was finally satisfied. He returned to his original position.

"Now this is a line, drop the items here" He once again pointed his finger at the ground in front of him.

The skeleton this time dropped the item on the ground, and stared at him.

A vein bulged out in Leroy's forehead "Don't just stand there, go get more items."

This time the skeleton understood his intentions, he went and picked a bronze-rank sword and stood at the back of the line. This actually surprised Leroy "Good, you aren't a lost case, now continue bringing the items in order". Next, a scene that would dumfound any players played, skeletons one by one dropped loot in front of a player while orderly going back to pick more items and returning to the line.

With his high Luck attribute, and the chance to double items below epic rank, a high amount of loot was dropped by the monsters, at least fifty items were piled up in front of him. Yet, they were unorganized which also displeased Leroy.

He pointed his finger to a skeleton "You, go and sort the items, wolf skin to the left, next the tooths, then equipment starting from the helmet...." He demostrated how to sort the items that they collected and the skeleton started repeating his actions. Altough it made some mistakes, he actually did it pretty well.

Finally Leroy picked up the items and continued to move. "Alright time to move, form"

As he commanded the skeletons formed a square around him.

"Not a square formation" he laughed, he satisfied just that this skeletons understood his meaning at least, next he ordered them and put three on his back, two at each side of him one in front of the other, while twelve of them stood in front forming a horizontal line.

No one would believe it if someone told them they saw this, actually intelligent skeletons capable of following orders, understanding formations while also picking up loot and organizing it?

The small team continued walking in the forest, in the way there, they found many more wolves, this time the process went smoothly, the skeletons killed them and inmediatly collected the items, brought them next to Leroy in orderly fashion and the items sorted out, Leroy just picked them up.

On the way, he was gathering some herbs and mushrooms that grew to the sides, when he suddenly tought. 'If they could gather loot, maybe also harvest items?'

"Go gather the herbs" He commanded the skeletons while showing what to do with his actions. They understood and five skeletons went to gather the herbs nearby. As they didn't have any tool nor , some actually damaged the plant and lost it, yet Leroy was surprised as he was satisfied.

Having someone to do this work would prove very beneficial as he wouldn't lose too much time gathering items, he also didn't have to share any items with his monsters as he would've with players so it was an extra bonus.

He continued walking until he arrived at a clearance in the forest, he finally saw a monster in two legs eating a wolf.

Werewolf Sorpos (Lord-Rank)

Level: 15

HP: 30,000/30,000

Wild bosses would actually be very strong compared to elites.

"You go fight him" Leroy pointed a finger at a skeleton which went to fight without a hint of fear.

From time to time, Leroy had teached them how to attack, parry and dodge. They weren't able to parry attacks yet but the skeletons could at least dodge some attacks.

As the skeleton approached, Sorpos let out a howl and inmediatly send a claw to his head. The skeleton lowered his head evading it and stabbed forwards.

-1200

The sword penetrated his stomach and the skeleton stepped back just as he previously learnt.

Swosh!

A second claw missed his head by less than ten centimeters.

The werewolf pounced and threw a bite at the skeleton who sidestepped and slashed at the creature's neck.

-1090

-1107

The skeleton managed to hit two times in succesion. The werewolf claws started glowing in purple.

"Run in circles and jump" Leroy told the skeleton.

Hearing this, the skeleton started moving around the werewolf who slashed with his claws, and sent purple flying streaks of light toward the skeleton. The skeleton tried to jump but the attack was just too fast, streaks of light impacted on his legs.

Creak!

-3200

He lost more than half his hp in a single attack.

The werewolf closed by and continued to attack. "Just keep dodging in close range".

He received his instructions and keep dodging the werewolf claws with difficulty.

-1400

He still received another hit that almost turned it to dust, but it just kept dodging.

The werewolf claws once again shined in purple.

"Get to his back and start attacking, continue there as he moves" Leroy could see the mistakes in the werewolf attacks.

The skeleton twisted and arrived at the boss's back and started stabbing it.

-1000

-1120

The werewolf howled and turned to hit his target, but the skeleton moved along with him and didn't leave his back.

-1065

-1014

The werewolf didn't manage to turn around and could only stop his skill. He inmediatly regained his agility and turned while sending a claw to the skeleton.

-1600

The skeleton fell into the ground with a dent in his rib cage, next the werewolf turned his eyes to Leroy. Seeing the enemy and the other skeletons, a chill ran down his spine.

A total of seven skeletons walked out from the trees into the clearence where the werewolf stood, while other two that were close to Leroy started running toward the boss.

Swosh

-1473

A claw hit the head of a skeleton fully yet the second skeleton made a horizontal slash at the werewolf head.

-1200

Then he stabbed his stomach.

-1100

Finally stepping backwards, it waved his sword and clashed with the werewolf claw attack, parrying his attack.

-1034

The skeleton who got hit first took this chance to deal more damage.

Enraged the werewolf claws turned purple and started to spin around at high speeds.

-2300

-2480

-2900

-4908 Critical Hit!

The skeletons couldn't react in time and bone bits were sent flying around.

"Hoo, a sure-kill attack" Leroy commented, he had a satisfied expression seeing the improving rate of his summons. This Sage of Darkness pasive was just too awesome, if he could teach more combat techniques to them, wouldn't this clumsy skeletons become strong enough to hold their grounds against bosses?

As the two skeletons were killed, the sorrounding seven started attacking from all sides, still a single skeleton managed to get the boss aggro without losing it, after a few seconds, the skeleton retreated at the same time the boss claws glowed purple, the remaining seven also retreated from the werewolf and away from his target.

The werewolf started spinning and altough the skeleton tried his best to dodge and even managed to parry an attack or two, it was still killed quickly.

"Tyche's Patch"

Leroy activated the skill and his luck attribute increased by 100% inmediatly.
