[You Have Died!]
[You Have Been Killed By Player Wraith!]
[Your Level was 2!]
[Your account is terminated!]
[Reason: When your level is below 5. Your account will be terminated if you die!]
''RAAA!'' The person who played Salamander angrily threw the VR helmet away.
''I NEED TO BUY ANOTHER ONE, FUCK!'' Salamander shouted angrily.
You can only have 1 account per VR helmet, and now that his account was terminated...
He had to fork out the money for another one!
And the VR helmet he used was Gold Rank...
''Wraith... I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!'' Salamander shouted angrily and left the house to purchase another helmet.
...
Isaac, AKA Wraith, had no idea that the death penalty for level 2's was so harsh— he thought that Salamander would be respawned a week later and would likely be pretty pissed.
Isaac swiftly descended the tree, making as little noise as possible while safely making it to the ground.
He looked around and that the other members of the party had wandered off. They were still looking around, searching for him.
Isaac ran towards Salamander's items.
[Child Wolf's Claw - Rank: Common]
[Child Wolf's Fang - Rank: Common]
[Wooden Sword - Rank: White]
[Leather Pants - Rank: White]
[White Shirt - Rank: White]
Isaac quickly placed them all into his Inventory and high-tailed it out of the forest.
Since hundreds of players were in the forest, it was easy for him to leave the woods without being discovered.
Just 10 minutes later, Isaac had made it through the village gates and stepped into the Merchant Store.
''I'm back,'' Isaac said after, looking toward the old man.
Kudos glanced at him, ''Buy or Sell?''
''Sell,'' Isaac said as he put all of the items he received from Salamander on the desk.
Kudos was not that impressed, ''30 White Coins.''
Isaac nodded— he took the coins and left the building.
''35 White Coins... I doubt I can buy anything good with that...'' Isaac murmured while looking for a weapons store.
He found it quickly— it was the most crowded building in the entire village.
Many players visited it, but most of the players left empty-handed after seeing the cost of the items.
Isaac entered the building and saw a lot of swords, daggers, and shields, but there weren't many guns.
After pushing by a few members of the ever-growing crowd, he managed to find one.
[Flintlock - Rank: Common]
[Cost: 150 White Coins]
Isaac sighed and shook his head.
He looked at the other items, but the cheapest thing in the store was 80 White Coins, an iron dagger.
Isaac left the building with low self-esteem.
'I am so poor!'
At first, Isaac thought that his situation wasn't so bad. Oh boy, was he wrong!
Isaac left the Weapon Store and approached the village entrance once again.
Before he managed to reach the gate, he saw something strange.
Some of the players had small cameras flying above their heads, and they kept talking to themselves.
'Livestreaming..?' Isaac guessed.
It looked interesting seeing so many players live streaming at the same time.
Isaac pressed the [Help] icon once again and went to the Livestreaming section.
[Livestreaming: Say ''Livestream Online,'' a screen will show up, and you can choose which website you wish to stream through]
Isaac closed the Interface once again.
He wasn't that interested in live streaming, and he doubted that he would get even one viewer.
Most individuals would be watching the stream of Underlord or some other big-name streamer like him.
Isaac left the village again, this time choosing to walk in a different direction.
The forest was filled with players, and the areas where he could get kills peacefully were packed.
Only some top players could fight against Level 5 animals at this point.
Isaac walked for half an hour until he arrived at a bridge where a lonely-looking man was standing.
[Vaulon]
[Level: ???]
Only those words were shown.
Isaac was curious and decided to approach him.
Vaulon noticed the young man with the cheap-looking outfit walking toward him.
He shook his head, ''Young man, you should turn around.''
''Why?'' Isaac asked curiously.
''I am trying to help you,'' Vaulon said. ''If you cross this bridge... You won't stay alive long, please believe me.''
Isaac was deep in thought, but then a few prompts appeared in front of him.
[Vaulon is called Untrustworthy Swordsman!]
[Do you want to cross the bridge?]
[Yes/No]
Isaac thought, but then he decided to press [No]
He was okay with remaining in the Newbie Village for now.
Vaulon sighed in relief, ''Thank you for trusting me, young man. Not many have...'' He lowered his head, and his face was morphed into sadness.
''This means a lot...'' Vaulon quickly wiped away a tear, hoping the youngster wouldn't notice.
''Because you have trusted me... I have a Quest for you if you are interested.''
Isaac raised an eyebrow, ''Quest?''
Vaulon nodded, ''A Quest which will make you rich and powerful!''
[Vaulon has offered you a Quest!]
[Legacy Quest Received!]
[Do you want to accept the Quest?]
[Yes/No]
''Legacy..?'' Isaac was slightly surprised but also suspicious.
'I don't think Legacy Quests should be this easy to get... There are not that many of them after all...' Isaac concluded.
He pressed [No]
''Why... Why didn't you trust me?!'' Vaulon roared angrily.
Isaac took a step backward.
Vaulon violently stomped toward Isaac— he unsheathed his sword and pointed it toward Isaac's neck.
''The punishment for not trusting me... Is death!'' Vaulon swung his sword towards Isaac's neck with blinding speed.
The blade was only an inch away from his neck.
Isaac closed his eyes and waited for death to embrace him.
''ARGHHH! WHY?!'' Isaac slowly cracked open his eyes and saw Vaulon's blade barely grazing his skin. There was some kind of transparent barrier protecting him.
Isaac walked backward slowly. Once he was sure the man couldn't give chase, he turned tail and ran.
Vaulon tried to chase after him, but for some reason, he was rooted to the spot!
''COME BACK HERE!'' Vaulon roared furiously.
Isaac didn't bother listening to the man, only putting as much distance between them as possible. Soon, the strange man was only yelling at the wind that passed by.
''Whew.'' Isaac took a deep breath. He had ran for 10 minutes without a break.
''That was scary...''
Isaac muttered, taking a seat on the ground.
After catching his breath, he decided to open the Interface and check the time.
In front of him, a holographic blue screen popped up.
''Hmm... Only 1:31 PM...'' Isaac murmured.
He was surprised that he'd only played for an hour and a half thus far.
''Wait... Stat points?'' Isaac saw that he had 10 Stat Points available and that his HP had increased by 5 points.
''So... Every level gives 10 stat points and 5 HP... That is good to know.''
Without thinking twice, Isaac placed the 10 Stat Points and glanced through them once more before closing the screen...
