Legacy Tournament.
[Connecting...]
[White Online - Update - Ready!]
Isaac massaged his forehead and grabbed the VR Helmet.
He lied down on the bed and positioned the VR Helmet around his head.
His eyelids closed and opened. The next thing he saw was a snowy landscape.
A dense and snow-filled surrounded the environment. Isaac couldn't see the end of the forest.
''Where am I..?'' Isaac thought aloud. A whiff of cold air left his lungs.
The cold smoke slowly faded away.
*Ding* *Ding*
[New Update is Ready!]

Isaac looked thoughtful, 'Friend list added... But why did it appear to me? What about those three girls... What was up with them?'
Another update that interested him was the added Dungeons. Isaac thought it would be fun to go check them out.
He didn't intend to get a party and didn't plan to search Unique Classes.
Isaac skimmed through the buffs. He could barely care less. However, Assassin's buff made him feel wary.
*Ding* *Ding*
Suddenly a pair of dinging noises resonated in his ears.
[Legacy Quest Received!]
[You have been chosen by Mythical Figure to carry his Legacy with pride!]
[Accept/Reject]
''What?!'' Isaac cried out in shock. His voice bellowed in the snowy forest.
''Is this scam?''
Isaac scratched his head, ''What the hell... Mythical Legacy? It seems too good to be real...''
*Ding* *Ding*
[You have been chosen by Mythical Figure to carry his/her Legacy with pride!]
[You are the third player to be chosen!]
[Player Wraith - Do you accept?]
[Accept/Reject]
''Third?'' Isaac tilted his head.
'There are others trying to get this legacy as well..?'
Isaac was suspicious of the sudden Legacy Quest. However, he had a lingering feeling that won't go away with a mere scratch.
''Well... I am a casual player... I won't lose anything by accepting.''
Isaac sighed and pressed the Interface.
[You have accepted!]
[Mythical Figure is delighted with your decision!]
[You are The Mythical Figure's favorite!]
[Don't disappoint The Mythical Figure's expectations!]
[Legacy Tournament will commence in 1 week!]
[6 days - 23 hours - 59 minutes]
After the notifications popped up, Isaac noticed the snowy landscape quickly fading away.
Isaac's vision turned white, and when he finally opened his eyes, he was standing near the village's gates. The armored Guards were surprised at the sudden appearance of the white-haired youth.
''Was... That a dream?'' Isaac muttered, ''Interface.''

''It wasn't a dream...'' Isaac mumbled.
He glanced around him and noticed every player minding their own business while a selected few stood with their friends, discussing the Update.
'This is strange...' He glanced around them and couldn't manage to see anything strange in their expressions, 'They weren't there? So... It was only me, but why?'
Isaac had countless questions, but had no one to answer them.
He took another peek at the Interface and closed it.
He left the village and took another glimpse at the village.
Isaac had no intention of coming back before level 10.
'Time to reach level 10...' Isaac was planning to grind his way to level 10, but that means he also has to be more careful.
The death penalty wasn't a joke. Dying even once would hinder his progress by a great deal.
He might lose the Legacy Contender title, which would discourage him. He would want to witness the Legacy Tournament, even if he lost.
Isaac began running towards the forest at top speed, and only 10 minutes later, he arrived.
He ignored the low-level spawning points and proceeded to the level 7 hunting zone.
''RAA!'' He curved his head around and saw three Wild Wolfs closing on him.
[Wild Wolf]
[Level 7]
[HP: 70/70]
Three Wild Wolf's with the same level and HP approached Isaac while baring their fangs.
*SWOOSH*
The first Wild Wolf appeared in front of Isaac and swung his claws.
Isaac quickly weaved to the left and released two rocks from his Slingshot.
[-7 HP]
[-9 HP]
''Grr!'' The Wild Wolf bellowed.
[HP 54/70]
Isaac quickly ran toward a nearby tree and climbed to the top.
However, the Wild Wolf thumped with the tree, causing the tree to heave back and forth.
''Oh, shit!'' Isaac barely managed to take hold of the branch. His feet hanging below him.
''Damn...'' He uttered the strength of his fragile arms and pulled him up. Once he wrapped his legs around the thick tree branch, he spun the slingshot around and put several pebbles on it.
He removed his hold from the rubberband and sent a shower of rocks to the nearby wolf.
The wolf couldn't survive the onslaught and soon perished.
[You Killed Wild Wolf!]
[80 XP Earned!]
''GRR!'' The Wild Wolf became furious. However, with the two of them alone, it became harder to make the white-haired youth fall.
The strength of their attacks weakened by a great deal, and their movements became sluggish, which in the end, was the cause of their deaths.
Soon, the two wolves fell to the ground, their bodies turning into light particles.
[You Killed Wild Wolf!]
[80 XP Earned!]
[You Killed Wild Wolf!]
[80 XP Earned!]
Isaac hopped down from the tree, softly landing on the ground.
He grabbed 3 Wild Wolf fangs and placed them on his inventory.
After doing so, he took a glance at his XP and was rather pleased.
[XP: 390/700]
''I will become level 7 today, for sure.''
*SWOOSH*
Isaac angled his head and saw a dagger closing on his face!
He broadened his eyes out of shock and quickly positioned his hand on the way.
The blade drilled through his hand.
[You lost 22 HP!]
Isaac grabbed the dagger and threw it into his Inventory.
He skipped to the nearby tree and hid behind it.
'Where is he?!' Isaac anxiously looked around the forest. His eyes scanned the nearby area, but no one was in sight.
*Crack*
Isaac widened his eyes and hopped to the side.
Three daggers landed on his previous spot. If he hadn't dodged, three blades would be sprouting through his skull.
Isaac's head snapped in the direction of the attack. On top of a tree branch, an outline of a shadowy figure was holding pair of diggers.
He was near invisible, but Isaac could still see him, even if only barely.
'Invisible..? Stealth?! Assassin!' Isaac's pupils dilated.
The Assassin softly landed on the ground. The three daggers disappeared into his Inventory.
Isaac glanced above the Assassin's head. However, he couldn't see the player tag.
'Assassins can hide their nametag? Bothersome...'
The Assassin scanned the 'girl' from head to toe. His eyes rapidly moved around, eyelids closing and opening, and soon, he came to a conclusion.
'She must be terrible at Close-Quarter Combat... She must be a Marksman. She has the slingshot.'
Isaac wasn't aware that the Assassin mistook his gender as a female.
'He might not know I have the Flintlock Pistol... Maybe, there is a chance of victory.' Isaac grabbed the handle of the slingshot tighter.
The Assasin was blindly confident in the victory. Once his grip tightened on the handle, he lunged forward, his movement speed being much greater than Isaac's!
His arm blurred out, and the dagger he held disappeared from his hand!
The dagger soared across the air. However, the Assassins' strength in the throw wasn't optimal.
Isaac raised his slingshot. Released an innocent-looking pebble from the rubber band.
The pebble flew across the air and collided with the incoming dagger!
*CLANK*
Both objects fell to the ground.
Clank! Clank!
'How can she do that without being over level 10?! Did she perhaps use all her stat points on Precision? How ludicrous!' The Assassin was more than amazed at Isaac's Precision.
