Chapter 17: The “’God’ of Toleration
The Diablo system didn’t give Fei much time to regret his choice. Right after a second, everything in front of Fei had changed.
“Huuuu-”
Fei felt the zero gravity again from traveling through the ‘time tunnel’. His vision blurred for a second. The next thing he knew, he had appeared in 【Rogue Encampment] and was at the spot where new players would spawn.
The sky was still dark and the rain continued pouring down.
The【Rogue Encampment]was completely quiet.
Fei found out that when he changed his class to sorceress, everything went back to zero; it seemed as if he had restarted the game. He went to the high priestess Akara to receive the quest 【Den of Evil], and the intelligent women treated Fei like a stranger while giving him the quest.
After he got the quest, he went back to the place where he spawned. He suddenly remembered something. He looked down his pants and hoped that he could touch something with his hand.
After a brief moment –
“Hew……ok…ok. So I didn’t become a female. It would’ve been way too cruel.”
Fei was very happy. Although the sorceress class was made to be a female in the Diablo world, his character appearance was based off Alexander in the real world. There were some minor changes, but he looked similar to the ‘Barbarian Fei’.
He was wearing a coarse gray robe and holding a two yard (about 2 metres) long tree branch wand. These two items were given to Fei when he spawned; they were pretty cheap and powerless.
Quickly, the NPC Warriv had rushed over again and started talking, “Greetings, stranger. I’m not surprised to see…” With his previous experience, Fei ignored him and walked away.
At this point, Fei was certain that his hypothesis was correct.
He could choose all the classes in the Diablo world, but he would only know whether or not he could bring their abilities into the real world after he exited the game world.
……
After he proved his hypothesis, he decided to exit the sorceress character mode.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want be a mage, but rather it was better to concentrate all his resources into one class for now. Chambord was under a real threat. He decided to focus his time on leveling up the barbarian Fei so he could be more useful for the next battle.
As he was thinking about exiting the mode, he was automatically transferred to the 3D character selection screen without pressing any buttons.
“Damn! I can control everything now by just thinking about them?” He thought about choosing the level 5 barbarian character and his vision blurred again, along with the feeling of zero gravity. He had entered the Diablo world again as a level 5 barbarian.
“This is cool!” Fei thought. He could simply think about what he wanted to do and there wouldn’t be any need for button pressing.
The place he appeared in was the 【Den of Evil].
After he killed all the monsters in the den and completed the quest, he used a 【Town Portal Scroll] before he was kicked out of the Diablo world. The bright blue oval was still buzzing in front of him when he re-entered this world.
There were still some items on the ground.
Fei checked his 【Item Slot]. All the valuable items were picked up by him and the items on the ground were pretty much worthless. He stepped into the blue portal and appeared at 【Rogue Encampment].
The dark and rainy weather had stopped, and sunlight shined onto 【Rogue Encampment].
Although the sky was still a little dim and gloomy–like how the polluted skies on Earth made people feel depressed–the fresh, clean air lightened up Fei’s mind.
Fei went directly to the priestess Akara. The same dialogue as the original game occurred and Fei was awarded one 【New Skill Points]. Fei put this point into 【Weapon Mastery] without thinking.
There wasn’t enough time for Fei to distribute the points evenly among all the abilities. 【Weapon Mastery] allowed him to defeat the star ranked warriors with godlike axe techniques, so leveling that ability up would significantly improve his combat effectiveness.
After he did that, he began bothering Akara.
“Honorable Priestess Akara, I have a few question……”
“I know what you want to ask, young traveller……” This spiritual leader of 【Rogue Encampment] seemed like she had seen through Fei. She smiled, “I’m willing to answer your questions, but you have to know; at Rogue Encampment, everything has a price, so the key is …… do you have anything that interests me?”
“Damn, this woman is direct.” Fei was surprised by the brutal honesty of Akara.
He thought that the high priestess wouldn’t be moved by anything. Who knew that as a spiritual leader of 【Rogue Encampment], she would directly ask for bribes? Fei felt that his respect for this woman had sunk.
“Eh…..ok, can gold coins be used as a price?” Fei asked.
