Myles was currently sitting in front of his laptop and scrolling the net for some information regarding the Western forest.
With a deadline of less than 2 months to pay off his debt, he knew that he couldn't slack off in the least.
Although, he believed that he could exceed Ashton in terms of wealth and power. He knew that it wasn't going especially if he failed to acquire his new class.
Hence, he was currently gathering information regarding the Western forest. Since he would have to pass with it to enter the Devil's forest in the first place
Sadly, he didn't manage to get any important information.
"Damn it if I could get some information regarding the Western forest then it could boost my chances of success enormously" Myles's cursed.
There wasn't any information regarding the Western forest in the forums. Maybe it was because very few players went there and they didn't want to share their experience or something else. He didn't know.
Myles shook his head and exited the forums.
"Let's have a look at the weapons selling Aetheris good for real money" Myles thought to himself.
He was just about to exit the forums but a particular post got his attention.
(Title: Bounty Hunt
Description:
Just a few days earlier, I went to an auction house at the outer edges of the kingdom in search of some goods. I did find items that interest me and I was about to just win the bid.
However, a particular player or NPC placed a higher bid and won. The chances of him being a player is very high since NPC weren't willing to pay such a high bid for the item that I wanted to buy.
Regardless, I am providing a screenshot of this person. I want you guys to kill this player or NPC. If you manage to kill him then I will give you a million dollars.
Contact me using this number.
Phone Number: .....
Email Address: .....)
Myles looked like he wanted to puke blood upon seeing this specially when he saw the screenshot. Since the man in the screenshot looked very familiar to Myles.
Afterall, how couldn't he be familiar to him since the man in the screenshot was none other than Myles himself.
"What the actual fuck? Why the hell has he issued a bounty on my head? And also for minor issues like this" Myles exclaimed, his voice carrying disbelief.
He had won fair and square so what was this all about!!
"Not only that, he has issued such a large bounty above my head" Myles's thought to himself.
From just this fact only he guessed that Myles had messed with a rich spoiled brat. Afterall, here he was struggling to pay off his debts of only 20000 dollars and here this fellow was wasting a million dollars!
For what purpose was he doing this? To heal his ego!! This seemed absurd to him!
Now that he had a bounty upon his head, he knew that he had to act carefully.
"I should be careful while playing the game" Myles thought to himself.
Myles knew that very few people would give up the opportunity to earn an easy 1 million dollars. There wasn't much he could do regarding this situation except being on his guard.
"I should just forget about this," Myles said with a sigh.
He exited the website and then entered the website selling Aetheris good for real life money. He researched a bit and found out that
After he was done researching, he turned the laptop off and went to bed to get some sleep.
Two days later.
Myles was currently wearing the console around his head. He was just about to enter the game since by his calculation, he
He hadn't accomplished much in the past two days aside from completing chores and attempting to gather information about the Western Forest—a task in which he had obviously failed. Hence, he was eager to enter the game.
"Let's enter," Myles said as he pressed the power button.
Just mere seconds later, his vision changed and he found himself sitting in the cargo.
The vehicle was still moving so he hadn't reached his destination by now causing Miles to frown. He diverted his attention to the driver and asked.
"Hey, how long will it take for us to reach our destination?" Myles asked.
"It shouldn't take more than 1 hour," The driver replied.
It seemed like he had miscalculated. Left with no choice, Myles just decided to wait.
An hour later.
"We have reached the western gate," The driver said as he stopped the vehicle.
Myles didn't waste any time, he quickly exited the vehicle, paying the driver before he left. The driver took the money and prepared to leave.
As for Myles, he averted his attention to the gate. A large gate which extended up to a height of a few hundred meters stood in front of him.
The gate was heavily guarded by dozens if not hundreds of fighters. His first instinct was to head towards it to leave for the western.
However, he made a realization dawn upon him, causing him to frown heavily.
"Damn it, I forgot that only those who are fighters are allowed to leave the kingdom. Since I have the citizenship of a civilian, I will not be allowed to leave" Myles exclaimed, he sounded very worried.
Civilians were not allowed to leave the kingdom without the supervision of a fighter. Since without it, they would die anyway. This left Myles, who had civilian identity in a difficult position.
"I need to think what to do," Myles thought to himself.
He thought for a few minutes. His first thought was to go as he was currently and hope that they won't ask for his id card. This thought only lasted for a few seconds before being dismissed. The chances of getting caught were very high!!
"They will probably throw me in a prison once they find out I am foreign fighter!!" Myles mentally shouted in his head.
The second idea was to sneak out without letting anyone know. But he shook his head when he gave a second look at the defense.
"This won't work" Myles thought to himself.
The defense of the gate was way too high for him to breach secretly. He started to think of another plan.
A few minutes of thinking later, a wild idea flashed in his retina which might just work.
His idea was simple, he planned to disguise himself as a soldier from the inner part of the kingdom.
"The soldiers of the inner part of the kingdom probably treat the fighters stationed here like trash. I can take advantage of this and not show my id card by being arrogant and mighty" Myles thought to himself.
He had necessary items to even disguise as one. Now he just had to act mighty and arrogant in front of him for the plan to succeed.
Though, the plan was very risky and had its own flaws. Myles believed that this plan was most likely to work.
He took a deep breath and removed the robe, revealing the exterior of the armor that he had recently purchased.
He walked towards the gate while taking a deep breath.
