So…. Who am I?
Well… Nobody….
But I were to say…. I'm somebody who is tried and bored.
I like games like anybody…. Be it an RPG or an TGG.
But honestly, I don't get 1 thing about the games.
Why is always "Good" ending?
I mean, why you always needs to be a good person in games?
True. There are games that lets you be a bad person or let you have the "Worst" ending, but honestly speaking most of the games are about being "Good Person".
…
I'm bored.
Same plot over and over…
…
So, I tried being a villain in for the change…. And honestly, I liked it?
I was PK (Player Killer) in games and killed innocent players online and it was fun.
I chose the worst possible ending because I wanted to see what "Evil" I can do.
I was trolling other players online and just being toxic.
Honestly, it was fun and I mean…. Like a solid change… I didn't knew that being a bad guy can be fun? It was very weird feeling.…. However, in the end you will be forced to be a good person in the games…. And this is really annoying.
But…. What about the game that doesn't have anything like a story you have to play against your will?
A game where you write the story?
"…."
(HAHAHAHAHAHA!)
(This is way too much!)
("The freedom of choice" huh developers?!)
(I'M GLAD!)
(I'M SO GLAD!)
(The game where you can really have any choice AND where you can do what ever you want to do!)
(SCREW THIS BULLSHIT!)
(I will have fun! The fun a way I want to!)
(Why?! Because I'm an mothefuking bored asshole for god's sake!)
(Ah…. Let's be evil as hell…. Reason? FUN.)
(Oh… What was the last time I had such excitement!)
"HEY!"
"?"
"Did you just killed that guy?!" – asked elf player.
"Yea. He was fuking trolling, so I just gave up on talking with him and killed him."
"Is that a problem?" – asked Phantasia.
"The fuck you mean you bastard?! You cannot just kill people like that from get go!"
"…"
"Was that piece of shit your friend?"
"?!"
"N-no! But it's wrong!" – said elf.
"Yea! We saw you beating him up mercilessly!" – said a human player.
"…"
(Annoying…)
"So what will you do? Are you going to pick a fight like him or something?"
"?"
(Huh. I got leveled up? So, killing players gives you EXP? Huh… That's nice? But he gave me same amount of EXP like the slime by the look of things.)
"Anyway, don't piss me off. Or I will murder you as well."
"!"
"H-hey! Wait!"
The undead walked away, even when the human and elf were calling out for him.
"…"
(Wait… Maybe I should have killed them?)
(Is there a title I can get for killing enough players?)
(Right now, I leveled up, right? And I also have a title…)
(Then-)
[You have killed a player.]
"?"
[The player you killed didn't possess a high amount of Notoriety.]
[You have received [Notoriety].]
[When you commit crimes, you will gain [Notoriety]. Crims like killing innocent NPCs or players without good reason will give you [Notoriety].]
[The higher your [Notoriety], the more EXP you will lose and the higher chance of dropping items is.]
[If your [Notoriety] is high, the amount of EXP gained from committing crimes such as murder will increase by small amount and the chances of having a killed player drop item increase. However, the increase is very small compare to the penalty.]
[Warning! If the NPCs notices you committing crimes, you may end up not viewing in favorable light or may become criminal in their eyes.]
[Killing criminals or bringing them to justice will decrees your [Notoriety] or hunting monsters or committing good deeds.]
"!"
(Huh… That's interesting?)
(So by committing crimes, you will get something like karma points?)
(Well it's no surprise that they put these thing here. If there wasn't anything like that, players would go total nuts, so I guess this is keeping them in check or something?)
[You are the first ever player to gain [Notoriety].]
[You have gained title: First Criminal.]
[Title Rank: D]
[Title Effect]
[+30 stat points.]
"Oh. I got another title. Nice?"
(So, I'm both the first murder and the first criminal? Well, I'm not complaining.)
(…)
(Fuck it. I'm not killing them.)
(Honestly, if the system messenge didn't popped up, I would straight up murdered them, but I cannot became an "Real Criminal" when I'm just straight up level 2!)
(Well, I did ended up getting 80 stat points for free just now, so I'm not complaining!)
(Well, people are probably warry of me, since I did just murdered somebody.)
(I should avoid committing any crimes, since I may die now.)
(It seems that the [Notoriety] is double edged sword.)
(If you have high [Notoriety], you gain more EXP from committing crimes. But the penalty is way much higher compare to the benefits, so no matter how you look at it, people would avoid gaining [Notoriety] at all cost.)
(However, if you become somebody strong, then having [Notoriety] maybe useful!)
(I can already see myself abusing it!)
"…"
"But for now let's try to be an honest person."
(Lets just play normally for now…. But in near future, lets try doing some chaos!)
(Oh. Right. Let's use those points from get go…. All into mana and intelligent.)
[Stat points remaining: 0]
"Well, then. Let's see how strong I'm."
After distributing my stats I started hunting like a regular player.
Honestly, I got to say, I'm doing quiet bit better at hunting.
The monsters were still well... Weaklings so it was quite hard to see a difference, but in terms of hunting speed I was bit faster than other players.
Well, honestly, I could have probably hunted bit faster IF I didn't picked alchemist class, but it was worth.
However.
[Stats]
[Level: 2]
[Race: Undead - Zombie] [Subrace: Human]
[Health:27] [Mana:62] [Stamina:27] [Strengh:27] [Agility:22] [Inteligent:77] [Vitality:22]
[Unspent stat points: 0]
[Class:
[Poison Mage]-[LVL:23/100]- [Cost per level: 2]
[Alchemist]-[LVL10/100] - [Cost per level: 1]
[Unspent class points: 0]
[Skills:
- [Poison Magic]-[LVL5/14] [Poison Shot]-[LVL6/15] [Poison Ball]-[LVL5/14] [Poison Smoke]-[LVL2/11] [Poison Blow]-[LVL3/12] [Poison Gas]-[LVL2/11]
-[Alchemy]-[LVL6/15] [Alchemist Work]-[LVL4/13]
Those are my current stats. I only have 6 skills from the [Poison Mage] and only 2 from [Alchemist].
Honestly, I want to get my [Poison Mage] to level 100 ASAP, but I really want to try alchemy. Current my Alchemy is pretty much on lock, meaning I cannot increase its level any further unless I increase my [Alchemy] skill.
Well… How does alchemy work in this world anyway?
I mean… This is a world of sword and magic, so… Do I need to use some "Magical" ingredients or something? How would I find anything-
"?"
"Oh. A weird plant?" – said Phantasia before getting on his knees.
[Mana Grass]
[Rarity: Common]
[Basic Ingredients used for alchemy that anybody can use. The plant grass that mutated after being exposed to mana, but the plant itself doesn't possess much mana itself. It's just some grass that grown bit larger that has barely any mana.]
"…"
"Huh…. Em… Okay?" – said the man before plucking out the weird plant from the ground.
"…"
(Oh wait. I have those slimes things. Can I use them for alchemy as well?)
(Hm… I managed to get to the level 4…. Maybe let's stop for the moment and instead look around for some stuff that can be used for alchemy?)
(Honestly, the only monsters here are slimes and monsters called [Grass Field Furball] that it's just straight up ball of fur with 2 teeth.)
(…)
(Should I go to that forest?)
(I think its more dangerous area and all, considering that the monster we players are finding here are between level 1-4, but…. I got 80 stat points from get go, meaning I have stats of the level 12 player….)
(Hm… My equipment is still shit….)
(…)
(Fuck it.)
(I maybe able to level up bit faster if I go there and there maybe other stuff beside that weird grass or maybe I will find more of that grass plant. Honestly, I'm looking around, but I can't spot any of those plants anywhere? Maybe they have low chance of spawning in low level areas?)
(Well, either way, going to that forest may have some benefits I need.)
Phantasia began heading straight to the forest that was located right next to the grass field and before long, he managed to successfully arrive at the forest.
"…"
(Okay…. I wasn't expecting that?)
(I mean it did looked bit creepy from distance… But now that I'm inside…. Dark green grass… Creepy trees…This kind of look like haunted forest?)
(Will something like ghost or undead pops up?)
(…)
(Wait… I'm undead myself… So how would that work? Would they attack me or-)
"?"
"Oh. Another mana grass."
"Oh! Another one!"
(Huh. In the grass field I barely saw any mana grass, but now I'm finding them more easily? Maybe I was right that it spawn more often in higher level areas?)
(…)
(But how useful is this thing anyway? It has description:
[A very basic and common ingredients used for alchemy that literally anybody can use, even without alchemist class.]
(So does that mean its straight at the very bottom of the alchemy ingredients?) – though Phantasia while plucking out the mana grass left and right and putting them in his inventory.
(Well, I'm not complaining. I mean, I do want to use alchemy, but I literally didn't used alchemy one bit ever since I got here. But I'm also getting more curios about it right now.)
"Ah!!!!"
"?!"
(What was that?! Did somebody screamed?)
(Wait! There are others players beside me here?!)
(…)
(Lets go and check it out.) – though Phantasia while reloading his crossbow.
