Chapter 5: Quest Completed (1/2)
Chapter 5: Quest Completed
Fei had quickly acclimatized to the situation. He had gone from being so nauseated from the gore that he was throwing up after killing the first monster, to becoming cold and indifferent despite the carnage that was left in his wake. All the heated monster blood on Fei’s body made him feel like he was enduring a test from hell. After only a couple hours, Fei had become used to this. He was almost turning into a cold-blooded killing machine.
This game existed literally for the purpose of killing.
It was so real.
Even the painfulness and soreness in his muscles.
Fei was not sure that if he died in this realistic game world, he would respawn just like how it was in the original game; but he didn’t dare to try. There was too much at stake.
From the past three hours of killing, Fei had noticed that his knowledge about the original game weren’t completely applicable in this world. He was trying his best to establish a rough understanding about the natural order of this world.
In this cruel, bloody world,【Strength] and【Vitality]were the most important attributes to a “Barbarian”. A lot of【Strength]will allow your attacks to be stronger, and a lot of【Vitality]will not only allow you to be more durable during battle, but also give you enough endurance to run away from the blood seeking monsters.
The reason why Fei distributed skill points onto 【Weapon Mastery]and warcry【Howl]is because: he had no idea how to handle and use weapons properly, he was just an ordinary student, so【Weapon Mastery]will allow him to use his hand axe more efficiently; and 【Howl]can scare the monsters away when he gets surrounded.
Threats from monsters and the risk of dying forced Fei to considering survival way more than the future development of the character.
After distributing all the points, Fei opened up his 【Character Status],
Gamer: Fei
Character: Barbarian
Level: 5
Experience: 14949/22680
Strength: 45 Dexterity: 20
Intelligence: 11 Vitality: 30
Damage: 10-27 Accuracy: 102
Armor: 31 Endurance: 107
Health: 105 Resource (Fury): 16
Fire-Resistance: 0 Cold-Resistance: 0
Lightning-Resistance: 5 Poison-Resistance: 0
……
This status was way more impressive than the one that Fei started with. It was almost as if you could say … that they were not on the same level.
Not all these improvements came from leveling though as Fei had a few special items.
He had gotten a few armors and weapons from killing monsters and he had already equipped them all. There was one 【Tangerine’s Helmet]that gave him +1 intelligence and + 5% Lightning-Resistance attributes.
After checking the【Character Status]menu, he opened up his【Item Slot].
In this world, Fei’s item slot was a spatial ring that he wore on his finger. It had 40 blocks of storage space. Every block can store stuff such one 【Minor Healing Potion]. However, items did scale in this world so axes or swords may take up four to eight blocks, depending on how big they were.
Fei’s item slots were full.
He thought about what to do next and decided to go back to【Rogue Encampment]. He used a【Town Portal Scroll]that he had when he spawned in this world.
“Buzzzzzz…”
A three meter high, blue lighting oval appeared with a slight buzzing noise. Fei hesitated a little bit and stepped into it.
As Fei expected, he stepped into the 【Rogue Encampment] when left the portal on the other side.
Suddenly, he felt nauseous. He felt as though he had just stepped off a particularly fast rollercoaster that involved a lot of twists and loops. Fei closed his eyes for a few seconds to get over the “portal sickness”.
After sitting down and regaining his bearings, Fei looked around and found priestess Akara.
This high priestess was not only a source for quests, but also a crafty merchant. She sold staves, and potions for battle, as well as scrolls and keys. Fei wanted to prepare really well for his first quest “Den of Evil” so that he would not get himself killed by the monster in the evil cave. From what he could remember, there was a zombie boss called 【Corpsefire]in there.
