Solo Leveling In Yggdrasil

A young teenager was returning from a convenience store with his family when they were attacked by robbers. He bravely sacrificed himself to save his loved ones. After his death, he met a self-proclaimed omnipotent being who, upon seeing his positive karma, offered to reincarnate him in a different world with the powers of a random character. However, this came at the cost of losing some of his knowledge about the world and the character he would embody, due to some law. Without knowing the true intentions of the being, he agreed to the offer and was sent to the world of Overlord - a parallel version of Earth in the year 2126. The real world was filled with pollution and filth, and to escape this misery, many people like him sought refuge in VR games. He chose to play the newly released DMMO-RPG Yggdrasil and was granted the powers of the Monarch of Shadows. He enjoyed his new life in the game, unaware of the chaotic storm heading his way. Would he be able to overcome these challenges and become something more, or would he lose those close to him and give up? Guess you will have to read and find out. ============================== As a new author with limited experience in writing, I apologize in advance for any errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

After Logging Out

'Jinwoo logged out from the DVR headset and checked the time. It was 3 AM, and he felt worried that Jinah was calling him at such a late hour.'

Maybe something serious happened to make him call me in the middle of the night. I don't think she knows that I am playing games.

[Sir, should I answer the call?]

"Yes, Gemanai connect the call."

["Yes sir."]

["Connecting call...Connected."]

I started doing light stretches while I waited for the call to connect.

[Hello Oppa?] 

"Hello, Jinah! Are you alright? Why are you calling so late?"

[I am fine Oppa! What do you mean? It's still 7 P.M!]

"What do you mean? Are you okay? It's 3 AM! "

[Wha-OMG Oppa I am so sorry! I am in another country right now to do an operation on some rich guy's kid. I forgot the time here is--]

"Thank god, you had me worried! You are still such a clumsy girl."

[Hehe, sorry Oppa. Ignoring me, what about you Oppa? What were you doing? ]

"(Ah shit! What should I say?) Umm.. I was?"

["Ps:- Sir, I suggest 'sleeping' "]

"Oh Yah, I was sleeping!"

[Don't lie to me! Were you playing games? No, you probably were! ]

"Haha, you caught me."

[Oppa! You should sleep, it isn't good for your health!]

"I would have been sleeping but this new awesome game just launched and I couldn't resist playing it, and before I knew it was already this late!"

[Thats still not-]

"Enough about me, now tell me how are you?"

[I am fine Oppa. Just a bit tired after my shift, more and more people get admitted and most of them die. I still find it hard to believe the atrocities we humans commit for a bit of profit.]

"I know it's... "

//ONE Conversation Later//

[I thought you wouldn't last a second without me or Mom around to look out for you.]

"Oh I am surviving but things get pretty boring without you guys, and games these days are pretty lackluster compared to the older ones. I also have to upload soon, I haven't uploaded in like 2 weeks and if I don't upload soon my fans will murder me. " (Me too bro)

[I thought you wouldn't have the time to think about these things when you play games all day.]

"I don't play games all the time I also have to talk to my editors make plans about the next games and videos I am going to make, make new merch, and other boring stuff. Enough about me, tell me when are you returning to Korea?"

[All of us will return after a week. Anyways leave that how have you been?]

"I see you have been working hard, I am fine, just playing games and thinking about new video ideas. How are Mom and Dad by the way? I have not been able to contact them for a while. "

[They are fine Oppa, they are just missing you since you haven't contacted them for so long. I also plan to visit them after I come back.]

"Yes, I will also try to visit them. You know what we should visit them on the same day. A surprise family reunion?"

[That's a great idea! They would be so happy. Wait! There is Mom's and Dad's marriage anniversary coming up soon! We should visit then!]

"There we go, now all that is left to plan is the surprise, they always go over the top for us, so we should do the same for them this time."

[Ya, you are right, we should do that after they did so much for us and we haven't visited them since we left...OK, I will have to go now Oppa! Take care of yourself!]

"Bye! And make sure you don't overeat! I don't want you to become overweight like last time."

[OPPA!]

"Ha ha, bye!"

[Bye! Take care.]

[">Call Ended<"]< p>

"Gemanai just make sure that my Divegear is functional at full capacity without any errors."

[Callibrating....]

Knowing that it would take some time, I went to the fridge took out a burger, sat on the couch, and started to eat it while turning on the T.V. and a news channel

[Report! Just now we received news that 10,000 people--](Turns off the T.V.)

"Gemanai ordered two new good quality air purifiers and programmed them to automatically start purifying the air in any case the current ones stop working. I had a change of mind. "

["Sir, you already have 6 emergency air purifiers ready for action at any movement. Do you still want me to do that?"]

"Yes"

["Order confirmed. They will arrive in two days."]

"Great..huh."

["...."]

"Hey, Gemanai?"

["Yes Sir?]

"Are you done calibrating?"

["No Sir, I am afraid it may take quite a while."]

"How much time will it take?"

["It will take about 8 hours 15 minutes, Sir"]

"What! Why so long?"

["I am sorry Sir, some unknown source hacked into your systems and left. I am trying to look for any trace left of information missing or viruses in your systems. "]

Hearing this I went to the fridge, ate more food, and after setting a timer went to sleep.

=================================

//The Next Day//

I woke up at 10 AM did the common morning routine and just chilled while waiting for Gemanai to finish calibrating.

[Callibrating..90%..99%...100%]

[Compleated]

"Thank god it took forever." I quickly sat down on the chair and said "Link Start!"

A plethora of apps and notifications confronted me, most of them were breaking news about a murder or something, ignoring them I selected Yggdrasil. I was transported to the waiting room. It was completely white devoid of any decorations or furniture.

{Welcome to Yggdrasil!}

{Looking for updates....none.}

{Logging in....completed.}

I was transported into the character selection room and I started from where left off.

{Please choose your home world.}

I had already thought hard about it before so I quickly chose.

[>Helhime<]< p>

{Are you sure you want to select this world as your starting point?}

[Y/N]

I am sure it is the realm of the dead and with my angelic skills and inherent positive karma, I should deal more damage to the monsters there, making farming and power leveling easier.

[>Yes<]< p>

{Please choose a location to spawn in}

Then a map of the realm appeared in front of me, most of it was hidden only the locations in the center were visible. I chose the location of a cave, it was close enough to the center while still having some distance from it ensuring that the monsters there wouldn't be too high leveled but not weak either.

After confirming my choice I was quickly transported.

I found myself inside a cave, the air felt cool and damp. There was an epic yet soothing music playing in the background. The walls looked rough and jagged, with shades of grey and brown.

The cave was alive with glowing plants from floor to ceiling, creating a mystical atmosphere.

 I noticed that my name, [Level], [HP], and [Mp] were displayed in the top left of my vision. The time was displayed on the top right. The Menu, Chat, Event, and System were displayed at the bottom left, while an empty map was displayed at the bottom right.

[IMAGE HERE]

I navigated through the menu and settings and after a while, I found the event tab. After clicking on the [Event] tab it opened a new screen. It said that for two weeks no PVP was allowed so players could focus on leveling up and exploring rather than worrying about being assassinated by other players. Other than that nothing of interest was there.

After messing around with the settings for a while, I checked my status.

"Status!"

==========//--------STATUS---------//===========

Title:- None

Job:- None

Residence:- cave

Special:- 1

Total level:- [Racial Level] + [Job Level]= [1/100]

 0 + 1 = 1

===============//---------END---------//===========

I then decided to check my status and noticed that my job and racial levels were not very level demanding, which relieved me.

I then opened my inventory, recalling the items I had obtained during the tutorial. Among them was the WORLD item [Brightest Shard] and the legendary item [Sigil of Holy Fire]. Seeing them in my inventory increased my excitement as I thought of the MASSIVE lead I had gotten, I then took out the Sigil and decided to use it.

*ITEM APPEARS*

The item appeared in my hand with a little flash. It looked like a simple old piece of paper with a symbol of a red bird.

{Use the item [Sigil Of Holy Fire]? Warning the item will be lost upon us!}

{[Y/N]}

{[>Yes<]}< p>

The sigil disintegrated into fine fiery-red particles before going inside my body. I felt warmth spreading throughout my body which disappeared as quickly as it came.

{MG. ATK and MG.DEF both are increased!}

I decided to check his stats once again to see the increase in my stats. They both had increased by 1 point each.

Seeing my status decided to delay raising any of my physical and [Reist] stats because from what I remember stats like [Resist] would be useless after I got the SL system, and it would also allow me to increase to go past the maximum stat and level limit. The [Strength] stat would So with that, I decided to explore the cave a little which didn't bear any result other than these berries.

 [Glow Berry]

Rank:- Low

Effect:- On consumption grants a minor recovery of [HP] and an [Glow] effect.

[Description:- A common glowing berry found in Helhime that pulsates light, illuminating the nearby area. Rumors say these berries trap the lost souls in helium and use them to nourish themselves, the glow being the soules of the dammed trapped within.]

Seeing the berry's usefulness, I filled my inventory with them. The once bright cave got considerably darker but the remaining plants made enough light to see inside still. I then decided to venture out of the cave as I remembered I wasn't playing a cave simulator and when I got out, what I saw surprised me.

 The land was a icy tundra, there was a blizzard blowing in the distance. The sky seemed covered in perpetual darkness, with no ray of sunlight giving the whole place a gloomy vibe. There were old-looking ruins scattered about, protecting the players from sudden blizzards.

*CLANK*CLANK*

The sound of bones against the icy snow-covered stone floor snapped him out of his thoughts. In front of him was a group of level skeletons, all of them wore worn-out clothes with a variety of weapons. One particular skeleton stood out from the rest, it wore a worn-out robe with a bony staff.

//---------STATUS----------//

Level:- 3

HP:- 20

MP:- 25/25

Race:- Skeleton Mage

Job:- None

Job Level:- Elementalist(1/15)

Alignment:- Evil

Skills:- [Fireball], [Spark ], [Ice Wall],...

//---------END---------//

As he was inspecting the skeleton mage one of the skeletons suddenly turned its head toward his direction and spotted him, which alerted the whole group.

Like a hivemind, they turned their heads toward him menacingly and started running towards him. Jin-Woo quickly opened his inventory and took out his sword prepared to fight. Since he was an angel his beginning weapon had a weak holy attribute that was effective against the undead.

The skeletons started to advance, but Jin-Woo remained calm and focused. The warrior skeletons attacked with their weapons.

The skeletal mage cast a [Fireball] toward him. He dodged the [Fireball] and the collective attacks of the skeletal warriors. He then landed swift blows and used his [Slash] skill with his sword dealing massive damage to them.

He moved swiftly, dodging their attacks and landing swift blows with his sword. The fight was intense, but Jin-Woo was determined to emerge victorious. He used his skill Holy Blood which enhanced his physical abilities for a while against evil opponents. The skeletons struggled to keep up with his movements, the mage tried his best to kill JINwo with his spells but it proved to be ineffective and the spells cast by the mage were easily dodged and one by one, they fell to the ground.

The whole battle ended in about 2 minutes, for such a short battle the spoils were huge.

{You have defeated a level 1 skeletal warrior x5! You have earned 250Exp!}

{You have leveled up!}

{You have leveled up!}

{You have defeated a level 3 skeletal mage! You have earned 200 EXp!}

{You have leveled up!}

{You have leveled up to 4!}

{You have gained 12 skill points!}

{You have gained [Broken Sword], [Rust Spear],l.....}

I opened my status and decided to allocate my levels and after careful consideration, I decided to allocate all of my levels to my racial class. The system notified me that I had earned new racial skills. I got new skills like [Flight], etc.

Then after making sure that I didn't leave anything useful behind again started exploring. I found a few more caves and a ton of low-level monsters and made quick work of them. Increasing my level to 7. I allocated all of them to my racial class and all of my stats to Magical defense and attack.

I knew someone with a melee build like me should have invested in more physical stats but I was close to level 10 at which I would get the location of the double dungeon. I was now on my way to a town I had seen before and wanted to go on some quests there. 

Quests offer items, EXp, and sometimes even rare classes and level-ups. I had just been farming and I had gotten a ton of useless loot. I even threw some of my weapons to deal extra damage to monsters to get out of tough fights.

On my way, I found a carriage that was being attacked by a group of wraiths, there were several torn-up bodies of ice elves lying around. There was a single ice elf alive fighting the wraiths I decided to help him. After killing the wraiths which was super easy with my holy skills I leveled up to level 8. 

The elf thanked me and gave me a lot of coins and a decent amount of EXp. While he mourned his fallen comrades I looted their bodies for loot. Then I got a quest to protect the merchant on his way to the town. I accepted it as I was going there anyway.

On the way to the town. I got a quest to protect the merchant on the way to the town. I accepted and at present, I was looking like the main character of Skirym.

As we approached I got a better look at the ruined gates. The gates were seemingly carved out of black stones with ominous green ruins lighting up irregularly. There was a tall wall surrounding the town, there were two ice elf guards at the front with a ton of archers stationed at the walls.

We were allowed entry after they confirmed we weren't any humans, for completing the quest I got awarded a ton of Exp making me level 9 and the merchant also gave me some coins. I asked some NPCs for the location of some sort of inn. After arriving there I rented a bed for a week for the cheap price of 7 coins. After saving the room as my respawn point I then logged out.
