Skreeeeee!! five Crazy Ants began rushing Insania, but with a simple kick-flip she shot them all in the thorax inflicting CRITICAL damages.
As if she had eyes at the back of her head, she leaped backwards performing a beautiful arc as she descended on top of a charging ants thorax and stabbed it with an arrow. She then shot it again killing it instantly.
-110! [CRITICAL]
Kyieeeeeee!!
Insania already grew accustomed to the movements of these mobs, so she can handle eight at once but that doesn't mean she can easily wipe them out.
With [Weapon Imbue] Insania could coat her arrows with mana giving it additional 5 Magical damage making her total damage to 62 per arrow, which isn't much yet but still considerably improved her damage output.
Her Mana wasn't a problem either cause her mana Regen as well as every living sentient race mana regen is 1% per second... so having 200 Manapoints, she'd need like a hundred seconds to refill it back to full. She kept firing 'til all her arrows were depleted.
Thinking that she killed everything she slowly approached the mobs and picked up her reusable arrows.
CHOMP! -112!
Aaaaaaah!
"MY TAAAAAIL!"
Insania screamed at the top of her lungs, she gritted her teeth and gradually stopped her high pitched screams. Never has she felt this much horrendous pain before, through gritted teeth and clenched fists she jumped at the ant and pummeled it with her fists until it was no more, yet it was still biting her Tail and the pain made her eyes bloodshot.
*Ting
you have leveled up*
Insania was so angry that when the ant finally died, she began ripping it's limbs, starting with it's stupid head.
"Had that been a Critical, I'd have died!" now that she's level 5, she could finally go get a class, which isn't really hard. The 10 Starting Classes are garbage and require no extensive test. But now Insania has to make a choice... should she become an Archer or should she take the Swordsman path?
Back inside the village, Insania found the hut of the beastkin class bestower, and behold there he is, sleeping on his elevated porch, he clearly doesn't do much because of the severe lack of players in this place.
'Must be respectful!" Insania internally reminded herself.
"Good morning good sir! May you so kindly bestow me my class... I wish to become an Archer."
Insania desperately needed the Archer class skills to grind much faster, besides! she could only use the Twin Blades of Lust at level 25, and what's the point of picking a class just because a weapon told you to get it's Weapon Mastery? The Twin Blades of Lust doesn't even require one to be a Fencer!
"I see, come here child" The aged Panthera Pardus, slowly opened its eyes and beckoned Insania to come closer.
"Such a class doesn't Suit you child, I could give you one myself but the downsides are... you'd stay classless till level 20" The old beastkin whispered.
Insania felt that it's suspicious. In Epic of the Gods there are only two types of Classes... the normal/garbage ones, with several Tiers and the Unique classes. Sadly this game doesn't promote Class hierarchy... so the Unique is just as strong as the Normal one but it's skills are completely different compared to normal ones!
"I accept" Insania nodded, excitement flashing in her eyes. The Beastkin nodded and handed her a scroll.
*Ting
you have accepted the Class Change Scroll(Unique Y): Bow n Blade Expert(Tier2)*
"Hol' UP! Isn't this just?" Insania wanted to protest but then the old beastkin walked back inside his hut.
*Ting
You do not meet requirements to use the Class Change Scroll(Unique X)*
"Boy, I sure hope this Class is worth it" Insania grumbled, she really, really needed class specific skills for her grind but the allure of a Unique class skills is too good to pass up.
Afterwards Insania ran outside the village with haste, but just enough to not exhaust herself.
...
2 hours of Grinding later Insania heard the system ring but it wasn't the level up ring.
*Ting
Newbie Protection Mechanism has timed out*
'Oh sh*t' she suddenly remembered this, she didn't realize that the NPM was out. The Newbie Protection Mechanism was a protocol that the moderators put to control the player base but it wont protect you from other races.
[Noob Protection Mechanism]: For the first 6 in-game hours Players/NPC cannot hurt, attack or harass another player. If they do anything that would violate the NPM, Players can report another player and heavy punishments will be met to the violators.
The shrubs rustled then a figure revealed itself. "Yo..." with a nasty smile, the figure threw its weapon at Insania and bellowed. "[Axe throw]!"
[Axe throw]: Throws an axe type weapon that deals 200% weapon damage(+150% STR). That has 80% chance to inflict [Bleed(III)] debuff.
Manacost: 50
Cooldown: Once weapon is retrieved.
Then two other figures appeared and attacked her, one had a bow and the other had a spear.
"[Javelin throw]" The spear weilder murmured.
WOOOOOSHHH!
[Javelin throw]: Throws any spear type weapon and then deal 150% weapon damage (+150% STR) impaling the target and [Stun] a target for 5 seconds.
Manacost: 50
Cooldown: 5 minutes
Insania's eyes locked on the axe that's heading towards her head. It's as if time slowed to a tick, as she analyzed the weapons trajectory, if she hastily dodged the axe the spear would likely impale her, like clockwork her thoughts spun.
She leaned her upper half to the right and did an amazing sidefllip dodging the axe and the spear but the arrows manage to connect.
In Epic of the Gods one can actually throw weapons without any skills, but the damage will be halved... and then further halved again by Physical Armor percentages.
"Now this ones a keeper! to think she'd have those nice moves despite being a noob" The Spear-wielding Rager couldn't help but speak in admiration, after all, even veterans couldn't easily dodge their axe and spear throw combo.
"Kukukuku don't you think that she'd be more amazing as our toy?." the Archer snickered, Making a stupid grin that accentuates his nasty face.
"Tsk! lets get this over with" the Panthera Leo snarled. This type of behavior always pisses him off he's a warrior and these activities are what a bunch of gansters would do.
'A Phantera Leo, Onca and the Archer is an Acinonyx.' Insania scrutinized, then she felt the slight wind fluctuate again and hurriedly dodged.
"Sure... once I hit her and incapacitate her she'd be unable to run. We'd have a lot of fun afterwards." the Spear-wielder scoffed at the Leo and grabbed another spear on his back, he sent it flying once more.
[Javelin throw]!
Wooosh! the spear flew at an outstanding speed that it'd make you wonder how Insania dodged it. This game gives a lot of freedom and obviously this player took more than one [Javelin throw] skill if the two other spears behind his back were to be believed.
The spear impaled the thick tree, and made Insania dropped cold sweat. It was such a close shave that it almost hit her waist.
'F*ck that dude is not kidding!' Insania's mind processed all the information at once and she hurriedly opened the skills list and took the skill that she desperately needed to escape. Frantically scrolling the list she bought [Four is Better Than Two(II)].
[Four is Better Than Two(II)](Passive) Users movement speed will increase by 120% when running on four limbs.
This is a better version of the skill, the normal one's only increases movement speed by 100%.
Showcasing such moves the three ambushers got serious. A normal newbie player couldn't be that lucky! dodging a [Javelin throw] is already very outstanding but dodging it twice? That's because enemies would become complacent and lower their guard after the first spear.
The Onca went left, the Acinonyx went right and the the Lion charged forward, their movements were very coordinated and fast.
Judging that the opponent was still a few kilometers away. Insania dumped her attributed towards Agility and opened her stats.

"Oh dear god! I can see their levels now! Level 12! Level 11! and level 14!" Insania gulped, threw her bow and ran away on all fours.
"GET HER! " a huge roar broke the stillness of the forest.
"DON'T LET HER GET AWAY! " he roared once more.
'I don't wanna get f*cked I don't wanna get f*cked I don't wanna get f*cked' she chanted inwardly as she ran with all her might.
