Adam opens his eyes and sees the people around him all in chaos. They keep running towards a certain area fully armed with a serious expression. Adam summons darkness elemental and coated himself so that no one can see him and he follows all the people running. One thing he realizes though is that all the people running are all players. He uses wind to fly in the sky so that he can move faster and see what the commotion is.
A second later, he sees a group of players fighting a tiny creature that is fighting back pretty well. That little thing bites anything that comes close to it whether it is physical or magical in nature. "Wait. Is that Abgrund?" Adam immediately senses his soul ties and true enough, that is Abgrund. He is fighting a group of players with a lot more to come. Adam can also feel that Abgrund doesn't feel any amount of distress from all the fighting. He is in fact feels delighted. Adam sends a questioning emotion to Abgrund and for a moment, he looks up in Adam's direction and flashes Adam the widest grin he has ever seen. Adam can feel overflowing happiness from Abgrund so Adam just watches as more and more players come closer and attack Abgrund.
Suddenly, Abgrund bites off one of the players' heads and it is probably the goriest stuff he has seen. Adam cringes a little but to be fair, it is the modern age. What stuff had he not seen before this? The players shriek in horror as one of their fellow player dies and disappears into particles of light. Oof, that must have hurt.
For some reason though, the head that Abgrund eats doesn't change into particles but stays as mushed flesh in his mouth. Abgrund swallows it and flashes a large grin towards all the players. He then jumps onto them and starts biting them as each of them starts dying. Adam just shrugs as he sees Abgrund massacre all the players that come to attack him. Adam opens his chat and sends a warning towards Carl to not approach the commotion. The last thing he needs is for those 2 to get into a fight. No doubt Abgrund will totally crush Carl but he doesn't need to know that.
Adam then flies back into the town and gives a warning to the guards to tell all the knights to not approach Abgrund or show hostility towards him. Adam is pretty sure that the players are probably the one that makes the first move since he doesn't get the red mark signalling PK from Abgrund killing them. So he just ignores them and proceeds to do his own thing. As he searches for a place that is relatively quiet to open his Gold Chests, which is very easy since most of the players are now outside the town, he sees a quiet place right under a tree. He lands there and summons all his 7 chests.
[Do you wish to open all 7 Gold Chests?]
[Yes/No]
Adam clicks 'yes' and a bright light shines surrounding them. Adam covers his eyes until all the light dies down. Adam brings down his hand and sees a few interesting items laying on the ground.
Adam of course picks up the 3 skill books. So far, his most powerful skill comes from the chest. So he is pretty excited for what he will get.

Looking at the skills, Adam immediately increases his level to 25. He honestly couldn't care less if his exp gets decreased because right now, he doesn't even know the game allows someone to have this many exp.
Adam learns the skills as soon as he finishes leveling himself up. And he is very satisfied with the skills.

Adam looks at the [Smithing] skills and he really doesn't like the number. So he spam the level up button all the way to the top.
[Smithing]
Skill type: Passive
Rank: E
Level 10000000(0/100000000)
Desc: Increase the success rate when forging. E +100%, D +100%, C +100%, B +100%, A +100%, S +100%, EX +100%.
And well, he also finds out that when his talent says that he can level up his skill limitlessly, it wasn't lying.
On another note, he will surely try to pick up a hammer anytime in the future now that he is practically guaranteed to be successful in whatever he is forging.
There is also the [Origin sin • Rage] skill. Now, call him crazy but he is pretty sure this skill will give him some sort of crazy quest in the future. Like even his mana skill doesn't have anything like that. And assuming that Origin Sin is an in the seven deadly sin, it seems like there is some collecting he needs to do.
Anyway, then there is the other 4 items. A creepy maroon sword, a pair of leather boots, and 2 shiny triangle.
[Demonic Sword]
Item type: Artifact
Rank: E (0/10)
Level: 1 (0/10)

Oh wow! An Artifact? How is it different than an equipment? It can also be level up and rank up! Nice. He doesn't need to occasionally buy a new sword anymore.
[Supreme leather boots]

[Shards of divinity]

Collect 10 of them to ascend to godhood.
Godhood? What the hell? I can be a god? Jeez, what the hell happened to balancing in this game? Oh well, let's keep it first and see where things goes.
Adam equips all the items that he can and twirls around a little bit in his new boots. He can feel he is significantly faster now and that is really something.
Suddenly a loud explosion comes from Abgrund direction.
