Chapter 4 - Chapter 4. First battle

 [You have reached your first evolutionary breakthrough, your faction receives 15 pts of intelligence].

 [Please select from these possible options]

 A) The flake B) Fire C) Expression.

 Among the first great achievements of mankind you have to choose the one that seems best to you, each with its advantages. The flake, which increases defense and strength, also represents the earth, the fire that increases strength in its purest state, that is to say an increase in strength increases the statistics of physical attack and vitality, in addition to the maximum life, I do not think it is necessary to explain what the fire represents and then there is the expression, the act of recording ideas and knowledge from words or forms, whether oral, in drawings or in writing, represents the air.

 Here is my question: if we have 3 of the 4 primary elements, where is water and what discovery does it represent?

 The more I think about it the more I am interested, I still have 4 extra choices, I think it is important to find out what is hidden, what is the advantage of the missing element.

 - System I wish to use one of my extra choices. I hope it will be worth it.

 [Due to the use of an extra choice the following possible answer has been added].

 D) The Union

I have heard what the first of my former classmates offer, the options are always the same in the nursery and are not variable, but none had found this answer, I must say that I can be curious, if the first ones give, strength and agility, pure strength and pure intelligence, what can give the last one.

 - I choose the D.

 [He has earned the passive: Loyalty].

 [Loyalty]

 Those under this passive are united from their beginnings, following the principle of water which represents love, harmony and healthy pleasures.

 It prevents Treachery and Corruption debuffs.

 With loyalty they will fight for their brothers and their lord, as a family, united in life and death.

 Honestly beautiful, if any of the players knew that Loyalty can be achieved so easily sure they would start crying with resentment, I myself have suffered from Treachery, either inside and outside the game, that your own faction fights against you is normal, once they have an ego and usually ends up being a major impediment to expand, only with great acts of compassion or displays of terror you can get the temporary passive of Loyalty and now I have it as permanent ... I'm just looking forward to finding one of my old comrades and throwing it in his face.

[The reward for reaching the first evolution on your second day is available.

 Reward: double a stat of your choice permanently].

 Wow, seriously, this is so broken, now I wonder what the reward would have been if I had achieved it on the first day... Damn system.

 - I choose intelligence.

 [Choice confirmed, now your faction's intelligence has reached 40, due to your intelligence being higher than 39 your faction has developed ego].

 And this was what I wanted to prioritize, sure agility or max life would be excellent stats to double and in the central ocean would be great for me, but if they are not able to make their own decisions it doesn't matter, the enemies will have better stats and won't be able to escape without an order from me, they would still be hunted because they would move in a robotic and predictable way.

 [None of the possible evolutionary improvements that would allow a race change have been covered, you will still be a 'Big Dolphin'].

 With this last notification I set out to see my stats.

 Name: Hel  Race: Grand Dolphin Alpha

HP: 40 MP:EXP.Faction: 0/200

Physi/attack: 10 Physi/defense: 5

Magi/attack: 0 Magi/defense: 0

Sab: Int: 40 Agi: 15 Vit: 5

Active skills: 

None

Passive skills:

[Deep Diving] / [Lung Breathing] / [Sonar] / [Loyalty]

 Almost unchanged but with great additions.

 At that moment the other dolphins moved closer to me and lowered their heads, in unison they spoke.

 -My lord. Their voices were strong and firm, now that they had ego they could speak and learn, develop beyond the limitations imposed by ignorance.

 - Well, I see that you are all aware at last, from now on I will need all your help.

 - Whatever you command, my lord. All at once, as if it were practiced, not even when I had the warg men showed so much respect, it must be because of Loyalty, but the change is abysmal.

 - For now follow me, we have to level up and reach the next faction evolution, with that we can leave the nursery.

 Everyone nodded. 

 While we were moving I warned them not to stop using Sonar, it was time to level up as fast as possible and the biggest experience bags are obtained from the PK.

 Soon one of my dolphins found a group of dolphins.

 As we got closer I could see that it was another player, in his aura I could find some words, that is to say his nickname.

 {Viconde344}

Just for that name alone I should fall, but I can't say anything since I also had a shitty name.

 Noticing us he didn't think about it and ordered his units to attack us, they were 13 and we were 7, but in his case smaller... Surely he chose quantity over quality.

 The battle broke out quickly, pigtails and bites rained down, even being more we were in a tie, our stats were slightly better, but mostly as my units had ego they could move free like real dolphins, with the intelligence of an average man.

 I was facing the player in 1 vs 1.

 - You better give up buddy, we are more and you won't last long. As he spoke he kept throwing bites at me, his target was the fins and tail, if I can't swim I won't be able to come up for air, plus I would be an immobile target. In this stratum of the game, especially the aquatic beings were very limited, in our case even more so because we were far from the coast, the rock formations were too far away to use them to our advantage. As I thought about it an idea occurred to me.

 -We'll see who is going to surrender. With my small and poorly done taunt I jumped in and gave him a pigtail in the mouth while running deeper, I also gave a warning to my companions to transfer the fight to the depths, we still had oxygen to spare and above all an improved passive that they surely did not.

Seeing my retreat the boy seemed to understand that we were on the run and began to chase us with his troops into the depths, both he and I desired the experience of killing the other.

 Gradually the light was being consumed, though this never affected the two of us, we were dolphins with infinite Sonar. But gradually I could tell they were slowing down, it was time.

 I gave the order and we went back to the fight, but this time we had the advantage for a very simple reason, we were not affected by the water pressure at this level.

 Some of the dolphins on my side, noticing this fact, began to hit them more and more downwards, taking advantage of the fact that their movements and reactions were slower and slower, soon they could not even defend themselves while we were still as agile as ever.

 At the sight of the first dead dolphin the player began to get impatient, attacking more and more furiously, carrying himself in his anger following me into the depths.

 The enemy dolphins had been almost annihilated and we only had several wounds, some more serious than others but still not fatal.

 Seeing the situation the player tried to flee, leaving his own as bait... One thing had to be mentioned, players give more experience than their units, so I wasn't going to let him go.

Together with another one of my dolphins we ran after him and overtook him, then we bit his fins and pushed him down deeper and deeper.

 Without having to do anything to him the player died due to the water pressure and with that we won our first battle.

[You have killed by power, but as you have no food reserves it is considered a hunt, the omnivore debuff will be performed.

 You have received: 130 pts of exp.faction.

 As it is your first player kill you are allowed to make a new choice]
