08. Talent Awakening! Undead Lair!

[Welcome to avatar customization mode]

After entering the game, Connor quickly sent into the avatar customization mode to customize his in game avatar.

…

Not long after, he finally finished the customization and went straight into the New World.

His avatar appearance's resembled his real body except for a few changes, he changed his brownish blond hair to dark blue and his eyes to purple-pink gradient, his avatar wore a simple white shirt, brown jacket and light-brown pants.

His avatar won't change anything as it was all cosmetics, he arrived into the game world on top of a tall jungle tree.

"Not the worst spawn to be in," He muttered to himself as he measured the distance between him and the ground "This tree is damn tall, I could try mining down but before that let's see about those talent and vip shop stuff."

He opened the system panel.

[Name: KoneHville76]

[Species: Human]

[HP: 20/20]

[Trait: Player, Beta-Tester]

[Talent: Draw Talent (x2)]

[…]

"Draw talent twice…" He muttered as he saw two huge ass holographic wheel appears infront of him.

Both of it then spins quickly and after a few seconds stops dead on their tracks as the needles point into the resulting talent.

[Talent Awakened: Magic Chef (Red) and Foodie (Green)]

[Magic Chef (Red): All food created will have 50/50 chance of developing more than one positive effects.]

[Foodie (Green): Received 25% extra boost from all food item.]

"Not bad…" He muttered after seeing the effects.

Soon he started to destroy the leaves to find his way to the wood and mine down from there as well as collecting the wood.

"Help me!-" A young man with blond hair muttered before he was ripped apart by the horde of Zombies.

'Crap! What happened?! I don't remember anything like this was happening in the game! Fuck, I was reincarnated and finally found the game I love in the past but how could this game change so much!?' A young man thought to himself as he was hiding behind the trees.

The sun is still up on the sky so the Zombies under the Zombies Barrack won't do anything to someone that doesn't go near them.

The young man name was Jackson Granton.

He was a 19 years old high-school drop out that was accidentally killed by God while a group people nearby him was summoned to another world, he was compensated via reincarnation and he chose to reincarnated to a future version of his former world because he doesn't want to live in dangerous world of fiction.

He find the parallel world lacking a bunch of Movies, Games, Animes and other medias from the original world but after living in that world for 14 years, he found a publisher company that published a handful of games he was familiar with and other game that he doesn't know.

He was overjoyed and he played through those game but quickly get bored until he heard about the announcement of Minecraft, even though he mainly play Terraria for its content, he was quite neutral about Minecraft but he more leaned into liking the game.

He have played a good amount of time and have almost familiarized himself with everything in it but currently he was faced with the unknown.

'What is this building doing here!?' He was panicking and that was clouding his judgement.

He opened the information panel for himself.

[Name: Klorofilw56]

[Species: Human]

[HP: 20/20]

[Trait: Player]

[Talent: Survival (Gold)]

[…]

"Reveal information…" He muttered.

[Survival (Gold): Your body will try to survive and adapt to danger.]

He looked into the World Channel.

[Don't go to XXX, XXX, XXX! There's a tall building that have monster under its shadow, when you entered the shadow you will be ripped apart by those undeads!]

[Yeah! I was also a victim of those rotten bastard!]

[The feeling of having your meat ripped out of your body and teeth stab into your skin, ugh! Its was a traumatic experience! 10/10 not recommended!]

[What kind of monsters you guys met?]

[I think it was zombies]

[Yeah, there's only zombies in there, why?]

[I wonder if that place was a Dungeon or something similar?]

[That's an interesting question]

[Yeah, who knows? That place is probably a lair for evil forces! Like an undead lair!]

[There's a wide flat structure on top of a tube-like thing in the middle that let out zombies, I wonder what if something on top of that thing was a zombie king and queen having sex and gave birth to all of these zombie]

[Ayo! Are saying that there's a chance there will be Queen Zombussy?]

[Nah, this bastard is down bad! What a degenerate!]

[Can zombie even have sex? Or even reproduce?]

[Who knows? If the theory was right, I finna be an NTR antagonist (the kind that take other people woman's)]

[This game has only been out for how many hours man and its already have its fair share of degenerates and mentally ill, Lmao.]

[Why can't I mine this golden mineral? I already have stone pickaxe]

[Have you hit it harder?]

[After it was destroyed, it didn't drop anything! Trash game!]

[Lmao]

[…]

Jackson was reading through the messages and everyone seems to be as clueless as he was and even the person that was ripped apart before was even joking in chat.

He stood up and walked away from the zombie to not have to deal with those variable.

[Evolution Information]

[Evolved Species: Zombie Villagers]

After reading through the entire skills descriptions Vincent just grin widely and muttered to himself.

"Sick, wicked sick!"

[+1 Kill Points]

"Wow, another person fall into the unintentional trap? I didn't expect the player to be this easy to kill… but only this amount won't be enough…" He muttered to himself as he stare at the amount of Kill Points.

[Kill Points: 12 pts]

He soon opened the system shop and saw that he couldn't buy anything there, not even a single thing as the cheapest mod already surpassed the thousands.

And with a disappointed face he clicked on the Talent page to see if he can buy anything.

[Welcome to Talent Skill Tree!]

Infront of him appeared two holographic panel one on the right is blueish in color and the one the left is kind of glitching and black in color.

The blue one have his original on top of it, Vincent Ho.

Meanwhile the black one show another name, Herobrine.

[The currency used to unlock and upgrade talents are TP or Talent Points]

[The rate of exchange between two currencies is 1,000:1 or simply 1,000 Kill Points could be exchanged to 1 Talent Point.]

"Well, this just show how much I need to kill those goddamn players huh?" He muttered to himself as he wondered about something.

"Can I ask you about something system?" He said.

The system doesn't respond but Vincent said it anyway.

"Can you tell me if the players get some sort of benefit like me? Like there's no way the players wouldn't have anything going on for them or else, I will fucking slaughter them effortlessly!" He asked.

[Of course, the player have been given a chance to awaken one random mortal talent unless they were a Beta-tester which will have two talent, they could also unlock mod beneficial to them if the Kill Points for their faction reach the requirement but the Beta-tester can also unlock beneficial mobs by themselves via VIP shops, they also have the ability to evolve pets]

"Can talents be repeated?" He asked again curious.

[If you mean can two individuals have the same talents then yes they can, the talent list that all of their talent are taken from are finite but don't worry you still have an extra edge as all of player possible talent is also inside your 'Vincent Ho' talent skill tree so you just need to unlock it quickly or try to find a counter for them. Additionally, the place that you got your talents from are the infinite version of the player's.]

He then clicked at one of the talents in the Herobrine section.

[Intimidating Presence: Release an aura that will give status effect 'Fear' and weaker entity will be stunned or be forced to run away in response.]

[Price: 80 GP]

[GP or Glitch Points are another currency made for the Herobrine section, the rate of exchange between it and Talent Points are 10:1 or 10 Talent Points can be exchanged with 1 Glitch Point.]

"This rate of exchange is fairly reasonable, so I need around 10,000 Kill Points that can be exchanged to TP and then GP" He said to himself.

While Vincent was chilling inside the dark forest, suddenly there was footsteps,

"Holy crap! Is that Herobrine?" A player with red skin muttered as he use his finger to point at Vincent.
