''He is adorable!'' Hellsky let out a girlish scream— they were hiding behind a tree, dozen meters away from Isaac.
WinterLove bit her nails, ''This is bad...''
SnowMaiden was crouching and hiding her blushing face.
''Girls...'' Hellsky crouched and looked them in the eye.
WinterLove and SnowMaiden listened closely.
''I think the reason why we were chosen as Beta Testers was to protect Wraith's innocence,'' Hellsky said with a serious look on her beautiful face.
WinterLove and SnowMaiden nodded with fire in their eyes.
They were chosen as Beta Testers by the creator of White Online, Arthur Welhenheim!
These three girls are Legacy Contenders from Coldshow, and they were chosen as Beta Testers to get a lead on everyone else.
But the reason why they haven't left Swornword yet... It was because of the Solo Dungeon.
They already heard that the Update will come early and that Solo Dungeons will appear.
But some stronger Beta Testers instantly left the village and tried their luck on the Starter City's Dungeon, which is much harder!
And the reason why they had a Friend List and Party before everyone else was because they were Beta Testers!
Their account was similar to what they had in the Beta Testing phase, only the level and stats got reduced all the way to 0.
''This is our destiny... Let's not betray God's expectations!'' Hellsky said cheerfully.
''Yea!'' WinterLove and SnowMaiden cheered at the same time.
The destiny of the World started shifting in an unknown direction… Because they touched Isaac's cheeks.
They left their hiding spot and walked towards Isaac with blushing faces.
Hellsky was about to sit next to Isaac, but then SnowMaiden put her arm in the way.
''What is the meaning of this?'' Hellsky narrowed her eyes.
''It's my spot,'' SnowMaiden said with her cute tone, but her facial expression was far from cute.
''Your spot? What are you, a child?'' Hellsky said with an innocent giggle.
SnowMaiden covered her mouth and giggled, ''At least I am not an old hag like you.''
Hellsky's eyebrow twitched, ''Is that so...''
''Hey.'' WinterLove sat next to Isaac and said with a beautiful smile.
''Oh, hey,'' Isaac replied, who was quite confused after Hellsky and SnowMaiden started arguing out of nowhere.
They seemed like really good friends, so this was unexpected.
Hellsky and SnowMaiden pouted and looked at WinterLove with angry faces.
All the while WinterLove innocently smiled and moved her body closer towards Isaac.
SnowMaiden sat next to WinterLove and kept a close eye on her.
Hellsky sat next to SnowMaiden and started sulking.
*DING*
Suddenly a loud dinging noise came from the dungeon.
Everyone turned their heads towards the cave, and then messages popped up.
[Player Kornelius Has Failed!]
[Solo Dungeon Swornword]
[Max Players: 1]
[Completed: 0/100]
[Difficulty: Easy]
''H-He failed?!'' Hellsky exclaimed.
The players in front of the cave grew noisy.
Kornelius' friends couldn't believe it!
Kornelius was Level 10! But now he will be demoted all the way to Level 5!
Isaac became thoughtful, 'Kornelius was definitely at least Level 9... I don't think Level 10 strength is far from it, and he still failed... This forest's level limit is 10, so it shouldn't be impossible to be cleared...'
The players got anxious.
Now, none of them wanted to go first because most of them knew how strong Kornelius was.
It wouldn't be farfetched to say that he can fight with level 11 and 12 players.
And Kornelius was Level 10, which means that he got his first skill!
Level 10 is when you get the first skill, and the difference will be huge between Level 9 and Level 10.
Isaac didn't know that.
Overall strength is quite similar, but the first skill makes Level 10 players much stronger.
Kornelius' friends left the area— they don't need to get Kornelius' stuff from the Dungeon because he has enough White Coins to buy more sets, but the level loss will hurt, and he will be behind other players by a lot!
This wasn't in Kornelius' plans.
He had planned to make a Guild with his friends, and he would be the Guildmaster because he thought that his combat strength wasn't far from pro players, so they could earn a lot of reputation and new members quickly.
But now that Kornelius died, he might never be able to catch up to the top players!
There were still some players left in the area.
Most of them thought that Kornelius was weak because they hadn't seen him fight.
They eyed each other, there wasn't anyone who could take the lead, so this confrontation will end up in catastrophe.
Hellsky, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden stood in front of Isaac.
They planned to protect him from these filthy animals!
'Dirty insects... Your presence might taint his innocence... My blade thirsts for blood!' Hellsky had a scary look on her face while emanating an aura of fiery passion.
She unsheathed her dagger— Her class is Assassin.
WinterLove narrowed her eyes and unsheathed her sword, joining her friend in arms.
She is a Swordswoman, a female version of Swordsman.
SnowMaiden took a blue-colored cane from her Inventory. She is a Priest, and in the future she could even get healing spells, which could help her two friends.
The players unsheathed their weapons and prepared for battle.
It seems like the battle is inevitable at this moment.
''Wait!'' But then, out of nowhere, a shout was heard.
Everyone turned their heads towards Isaac, and most of them were shocked hearing his voice.
They all widened their eyes in shock— that beautiful individual was actually a boy!
Isaac stood up and said calmly, ''We can talk this through— no need to fight.''
''Like how, another vote?'' A player said with a frown.
Isaac shook his head, ''That would not be fair. We can do a small game and decide who goes first and who after.''
The players looked at each other and nodded.
But they didn't lower their guards.
Isaac took a rock from his pouch and put it on the ground.
He gave everyone one pair of rocks, and then he said, ''The one who manages to throw it closest to the rock will go first.''
Everyone nodded their heads.
Hellsky, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden stood next to Isaac like they were his bodyguards.
Everyone did a small line and started throwing their own rocks.
Isaac actually did the same trick as Kornelius.
The players didn't know what class most of them had, and no one saw any Shooter classes around, so they thought that it was fair game.
But it wasn't.
Isaac never revealed his class, but he is a Marksman with his special stat being Precision.
This game is incredibly advantageous for Isaac.
The reason he did this was to end this useless fighting, since he wasn't confident in surviving the battle, and he was worried about Hellsky and the others dying as well.
This was the easiest solution, and Isaac wanted to go check out the Dungeon... He might die... But if he doesn't... He might reach Level 10 without even realizing it.
