Now It is time to accept the reality that I am inside the game so I need to plan my future action.
As for me, I transmigrate inside the character of Evan Alfred, around the age of 21, with no significant role in the main story.
And just like that, a week passed when I indulged in this luxury of a room that Evan had not even dreamed about in his past life.
However, he had not been sitting ideally all this time, through the internet, social media, news, and other resources, he determined that there were still a few months before the opening of the Supreme Battle Academy.
So according to gameplay, although he can't amass great powers right now as it is too difficult or requires specific events to happen if Evan were to summarize the present timeline in-game, it can be considered as a prelude before the game starts.
Although there is nothing to do right now if he remembered clearly there is a very small story event where I can get something useful at a particular place.
For Now, it is time to go to night vale street.
To reach Night Vale Street it took around less than half an hour to use the Magiko train, it is a magic train operated by Magiko Cooperation Ltd., a cooperative giant in the continent of Zenon,
"Well, it is very comfortable to ride it and quite exciting when the train floats, it gives the impression of an electromagnetic train on earth I guess."

Night Vale street
It is a famous marketplace due to its all-time strange dark environment and weird stuff that happens.
Evan ignored most of the shop and reached an old depilated shop with a seven-colored flag hung atop it consisting of jars containing weird items which probably used as magic ingredients.
An old fat lady is sleeping on a chair, maybe on hearing my footsteps, woke up, opened her eyes to see me, and then said.
"lad, what are you here for?"
"if you want to buy anything, just put the items on the counter and pay the bill"
"I only accept cash payments, No bargain"
"If you think that you can steal anything, then drop the idea before making a fool out of yourself, every item is latched with a magic seal"
On hearing this Evan thought that this old lady was very rude but didn't mind her too much and asked.
"Ma'am, have you heard any rumors about the dark cave made of black ore found here or any recent incident related to Explorers"
"haa, so you are after the treasure of the black blood saber "
"give up lad, those are just rumors to instigate newbies like you"
"In your greed to acquire treasure, many like you end up dead with no story to tell"
"Don't worry, I am just interested in the incident and not really after the treasure, definitely would not risk my life for it."
Although he said that he would not go after it, the old lady didn't believe it but still said.
"well it is up to you, your life your problem but to know the location you have to complete one of my tasks"
"Are you ready?" said this while smiling evilly.

And so now Evan was at Open Sky Valley, which is only 2 km distance away from Night Vale, it is a safe place, famous for its tourist spot where many common people come to relax.
Evan was telling the truth when he said he was not after the black blood saber cause it is a cursed item related to the blood clan, coming in contact with it now wouldn't do any good to him, So why did he ask for the location?
"Because to reach Jacob's whereabouts, one needs to reach the Dark cave whose location is only known by that old lady as it was not explained in-game, while taking the general route of explorers is difficult right now for me so I guess I have no choice but to get favor from that old lady"
The task given by her was quite easy, to collect some materials from here, although time-consuming so let's get started.
After eight hours of hard work, Evan finally collected all the listed materials, which it quite exhausting, after relaxing for about one hour he went back to the shop. and got the safer route to reach the dark cave's vicinity.

Dark cave
Well, one could understand Why it is called a Dark Cave, land as dark as possible with no sign of greenery, a pure barren dark swamp where in the center an entire cave made of black obsidian stones, the purple mist surrounding the entire region where it made hard to see just 100 meters in front, it gives out the feeling of creepy and evil touch to it.
Therefore it is necessary to first get the map for a safer route if one is not a veteran explorer or hunter, which is only available to official Explorer Associations but it requires quite the procedure to register there and needs to spend time and money to buy that information and that old lady it the only one which can provide these map routes for completing her task.
After arriving in front of the cave entrance where not a shred of light can seen, Evan picked up a magic lantern which was purchased from Night Vale Street previously with a few other minimum tools necessary during explorations.
He entered the cave, hardly visible anything in front, Evan moved forward slowly to avoid any traps or encountring any hunters and explorers. he didn't care about monsters because there was no monster alive here anymore all due to Black Blood Saber.
After walking for about 10 km and taking an unknown number of turns with the help of a map acquired from that old lady, Evan finally saw a red flicking of light at a distance. Following it he arrived at the place where one can find a talked treasure in recent rumors.
A red crystalline curved blade made entirely of crystalized blood with a sharp gleam on its edge, a hilt made of silver-black steel attached on its end gives it an eerie look hung in the air, surrounded by blood runes and a magic circle rotating every second, this is the cursed blade of blood clan.
The reason by no monster is founded in the cave as it sucks the life force of every creature in the vicinity.
If one did not belong to the blood clan and were to touch it then the curse would be activated and one can only wait for his death with every moment in mental trauma until his spirit withers away.
