Thunder Disciple: Spearman's Journey

[Dear readers, I am terribly sorry to inform that this novel will be on indefinite hiatus. I have recently dealt with real life issues which have led me to not have the time to write. I have thirty stockpiled chapters under my other book, "Villain Becomes the Main Character" that will release weekly. There will be a mass release of five chapters on the 14th January. Once again, I'm sorry for this, and I hope everyone would be understanding. Thank you, -Strawberryhouse] Aeconia Online. A MMORPG game released this year gained immense popularity straight after its release. It was a VR game with incredible graphics and had mastered the ability to make the user feel like it was reality itself. This was the reason why shortly, a year after its release, it became the current world's most popular game. Alexander Mark, a 1st year University student, finally saved enough money to buy the VR Pods which allowed him to finally play the game—even though he was a little late. Once he loaded in, he let out his words of joy. "Finally. I'm able to play this game. After hours of working part-time jobs.." He began to play, that was until, only a week after.. 「 Congratulations Host 」 "Huh?" 「 The One Who Controls The Clouds interested in forming a contract with you 」 "A contract? No-" 「 The host does not have a choice 」 「 Forming Contract... 」 "W-wait, what??" And, so, Alexander began his march. Or was it a higher beings march? Towards getting stronger as a lightning spearman. As a... Disciple Of Thunder. --- Warning: Writing is not full-time so updates won't have many chapters. --- Why ready my novel? It's simple: - I have a unique take on the VRMMORPG genre (unlike most novels, read more to see what I mean) - There is NO leveling system - A lot of mystery veiled about the [One Who Controls The Clouds] --- Word count: 1000+ words per chapter Update stability: 1chs/week (But extra chapters will be releasef based on milestones.) I know that this is too much but I'm struggling to balance both my hobbies, exams and social time with writing more chapters. But I will 100% be consistent with my update stability. --- Milestones. Collections: 10 - Extra 100 words 25 - Extra 250 words 50 - Bonus Chapter 100 - Bonus Chapter (+2) 125 - Bonus Chapter (+1) 150 - Bonus Chapter (+1) 175 - Bonus Chapter (+1) 200 - Bonus Chapter (+2) Let's try and hit 200 collections. Just add this book to your library! Power stones: 50 - Extra Chapter 100 - Extra 2 Chapters 150 - Extra 2 Chapters (what am I doing to myself? T_T) If we hit 200 Power stones, then I'll release a stockpile worth of chapters! Coffee will be my best friend!!

Training

If she is telling me this, then this must mean that,

"It's real."

"Now, Aree, where do I find these types of dungeons?"

"Oh, you want to know?"

She replied with a grin. Not her same oblivious attitude, but,

A devilish sneer.

"How about you endure my 'training' first?"

I didn't know at the time what I was getting into.

「 Creating new quest... 」

'Why am I getting chills?'

But I was going to regret it.

Not just at that moment of time..

But for the next few weeks.

* * *

One hours passed and I stand in the garden waiting for the dark-elf to arrive.

"Hmm.."

I took a look at the quest that the system displayed.

「 Quest - Aree's Devilish Training 」

「 Aree is willing to lead you through a trial filled with many challenges in order for you to take part in raiding the [Man-made Dungeon] set-up nearby.」

「 Mission - Endure Aree's training 」

「Penalty (if failed) - [Aree's trust -10] and a increased chance of losing the ability to enter the Man-made dungeon 」

[Rewards - ??? 」

"Devilish training?"

"Ah.."

She entered the garden and stood in front of me.

I closed the quest window.

"When it comes to training, I'm not someone who likes to play around and waste time so I'll get straight to the point."

"What is your purpose?"

My eyes widened for a second.

I didn't expect this to be the first thing that I would hear.

'My purpose.. my mission..'

This wasn't too hard to answer. I already had thought of the answer in my head.

It's..

"To earn enough money to save a loved one."

"Hmm.. that is good. Well done. Our Almighty one would certainly agree with you on that."

Aree clapped her hands and nodded.

But.

"What about after that? What are you going to do? Retire?"

I didn't think about that.

My main reason for treating this game so seriously was,

'To save my father who did so much for me.'

However, even if I were to think about it,

I would have no idea.

"You do not have to think so hard about it now. For now, you can just focus on becoming really strong as our Almighty one said."

"Okay-"

"Though, that doesn't mean that I don't want a reason."

The pointy-eared girl raised up a finger.

"Think of a main goal by the end of the training."

Now.

"Getting back on topic. Take these."

She threw me a pair of black metal weights on the ground carelessly.

It had a circular shape—in a flash, I had found out what they were.

"It seems that you know that they're metal wrist wraps which will allow you to build muscle while you train."

"Wear them."

I cuff the metallic bands around my wrists and instantly, it had felt as if a lot of pressure had been dumped on top of me.

"Oh, and wear these as well."

She threw another two that can be used for my legs.

I looked at them with a blank expression, figuring that I had already too much pressure on my body.

—But she didn't pity me at all.

"What are you waiting for? Wear them."

She hid her sniggering.

Fuck...

This bitch..

'I'll definitely get my revenge on you when I'm strong enough.'

I place the bands on with no complaints and struggle to stand up without having bad posture.

"I want you t-"

But before she could give me instructions,

Slip—

Thump.

I had already fallen straight on my back.

Unable to balance.
