[Satisfied with your adjustments, you opened your inventory and obtained a Wooden Sword, 5 low-grade HP potions, an extraordinary book, and a low-grade skill: Slash.]
[After acquiring the necessary items from the newbie gift package, you resolved to practice your sword skills and gain basic proficiency.]
[With determination, you made your way to the training area, where an old man sat, puffing on a cigar. Approaching him, you stated, "I want to use the training ground." The old man simply stared at you for a moment before pointing towards a scarecrow.]
[Without delay, you approached the target and unsheathed your wooden sword. Assuming a stance, you thrust the tip of the sword into the target, repeating the process until you heard the announcement, "You obtained Skill: Thrust [Low]."]
[Satisfied with your progress, you shifted to another stance and struck the target with the edge of the sword, continuing to repeat the action. After five hours of diligent practice, you had acquired many low-grade basic skills: Chop, Slice, Stab, Deflect, and Block.]
Chop: Striking a target with the edge of the sword.
Slice: Running the edge of the sword along a target's surface.
Stab: Thrusting with a pointed weapon.
Deflect: Knocking something off its intended trajectory.
Block: Preventing an attack from finding its mark.
[Upon mastering all these basic sword skills, you heard the announcement:]
[You've learned all the basic sword skills.]
[You obtained a buff: Swordsman.]
Swordsman [buff]: Using a sword increases damage by 50%.
[For achieving a hidden achievement, you obtained the title: Sword Master [Extraordinary].]
Sword Master [title]: You can equip any sword regardless of its level.
[You jumped with joy because you realized that now you're only lacking a high-level sword. With that, you could leave many players behind. You were happy with your decision to learn all the basic sword skills.]
[In the midst of your happiness, you heard a low shout, "Young man! Come here," and glanced in the direction of the sound, where you saw an old man smiling at you. Putting away your sword and wiping your sweat, you moved toward the old man.]
["Young man, I'm pleased with your efforts," the old man said, handing you a sword. "Take this." But you thought that perhaps NPCs in this game wouldn't just be NPCs, so you held back your trust and politely declined. Seeing your decline, the old man's smile broadened, and he said, "Young man, take this; now this sword is of no use to me."]
[Upon seeing that, you thought declining a second time would be rude, so you accepted and thanked the old man, then inspected the sword. Upon observing its material and design, you could tell that this sword was of high grade, but lacking knowledge, you decided to use the book.]
[The book, labeled "Extraordinary," wasn't just any random book; it had the ability to scan anything in the world. Holding the sword in one hand and the book in the other, you positioned the sword before the book's pointer, and the scanning process began.]
[Scanning: 1%... 10%... 50%... 100%.]
[Upon completion, your eyes sparkled upon seeing the sword's details in the book's panel, and you stared at the old man in astonishment. Suddenly, you bowed before him and said, "Thank you."]
[The old man maintained his smile and replied, "Go and utilize the sword to its utmost." You simply nodded in response.]
Epic Abyss Valea Sword: Bound
Dmg: 1210
Durability: 800/800
Skill: Infuse 0/100 (low)
Equip: Not (low level)
[Infuse: Using magic with this sword can increase your damage by 50%.]
[Upon seeing the sword, you were excited and understood that you had obtained the highest-grade sword because equipment grades are Wooden, Iron, Silver, Gold, Crystal, Obsidian, Ancient, and Valea. Now, you understood that there is a chance to get a Valea weapon in every class if anyone learns all the basic skills of their class.]
[You saw this as an opportunity to earn gold coins, but you refrained because this was also your chance to leave the other players far behind. You decided to keep this secret to yourself.]
[After everything, you decided to level up, but before that, you equipped the Title: Game Master and hid it so no other players could see the title. After that, you decided to check the game's panel, and soon a panel appeared before you.]
Game Panel:
Player Panel [lv 01]
Title [lv 01]
Friend [lv 10]
Achievement [lv 01]
Guild [lv 30]
Tribe [lv 50]
Mount [lv 10]
Pet [lv 10]
Rune Magic [lv 15]
Shop [lv 10]
Trade House [lv 10]
Setting [lv 01]
Ranking [lv 5]
[After spending another two hours, you understood all the basic concepts and gained sufficient knowledge. Now, you decided to level up because approximately 30% of the players had already reached level 5.]
[You put your Valea sword in your inventory but kept the title, deciding to use a wooden sword because using the Valea Sword on low-level monsters would only deplete its durability.]
[You reached the outer circle of the beginner forest, where you saw low-level monsters like slimes and gray oozes. Taking out your book, you began to scan the area.]
Slime (low-level monster)
HP: 80
Magic Damage: 10
Level: 5
Detail: Throws bubbles at you.
Gray Ooze (low-level monster)
HP: 100
Magic Damage: 15
Level: 8
Detail: It is poisonous and can spit poison at you.
[You took out your wooden sword from your inventory and decided to hunt slimes. Attacking a level 5 slime, 252 damage appeared above its head, and it died. You gained 10 experience points, and the experience bar increased by 2%, indicating that you needed to hunt 50 slimes to level up.]
[You also understood that if any weapon were equipped then the physical damage would be multiplied according to weapon and that would be corresponding to damage.]
[You decided to check how many experience points (exp) a Gray Ooze monster gives. With this motive, you hunted down a Gray Ooze and gained 12 exp, which was 2 higher than the amount received from slimes.]
[Upon confirming this, you resolved to hunt both low-level monsters using your 'Taunt' talent.]
