12 Leaving The Beginners Village (1/2)

Shin frown when he hear the Statue and said to his heart 'You want me to forcefully choose between the two? But is there any difference between those two choices?'

The Statue is tapping the tip of his Katana on the ground while waiting for Shin's reply, after a few minutes of waiting with no response it got frustrated and throw a 'Slash' on the wall behind Shin.

When the wall is slice, The Statue look at Shin and yell at him. ”Feeble Human! my patience is short so you better hurry up and make your choice!”

Shin get speechless when he see the sliced wall. The cut is so deep to the point you can't see the end of it. Then he shout at his heart 'It is all or nothing!'

Shin look at The Statue and said with determination. ”I choose to fight you.”

The Statue is surprise at Shin's choice and release smirking sound. ”Heh. Your quite clever aren't you? But can you handle that choice?”

”OK, Here are the rules, All you have to do is survive my attacks for two days. You can only die 300 times in the process, and if you die more than that then I'm going to send you outside this place and ban you from coming back again. All Clear?” explain The Statue to Shin.

Shin look at him and nod his head. When The Statue see Shin's nod he added. ”Good! Then I'll give you a five minutes of rest and I suggest you to use that remaining powers of yours or else you will no be able to use it forever.”

Shin is confuse at the last words of what The Statue said but he disregard it immediately when he is thinking on how to spend his 130 Undistributed Stat Points.

After some careful consideration he spend the 1/3 of it to STR, 1/3 at AGI and remaining 1/3 is equally divided at INT and VIT.

He focus at STR and AGI because he want to be a balance strength and agility swordsman. While he set his INT as his secondary because a swordsman has a few magical attacks. And as for VIT he just don't want to be so feeble when he encounter an enemy that have a very powerful attack.

A Swordsman class have 2 paths available once he get at Level 50. The Swordmaster and a Dual Blader. A Swordmaster focuses on STR, there main weapon is two-handed sword such as 'Great Sword', 'Broad Sword' and 'Heavy Sword'. They are the Swordsman that focuses at destructive force and powerful attacks.

Dual Balders are speed base Swordsman they focuses on AGI to have a swift, agile and fast attacks. Their main weapons are two one-handed sword for each hand such as 'Long Sword', 'Short Sword', 'Sword Reaper', 'Saber' and 'Katana'.

Players need to organized their Undistributed Stats early so that they can build a good foundation for their respective paths so that they don't need to do a lot of adjustments once they reach Level 50, especially since this game don't have a reset Stats option.

Well Shin get this habit because he is a 'Battle Genius' he likes to deal what's in front of him now before thinking about the future. He don't like making plans, what he want is to react on whatever that is thrown at him.

As for his 'Skill Points', he don't want to spend it for now since it is too important. Every Player can only have a 5 'Bonus Skill Points' every 5 level.

A SP(Skill Point) can promote a skill into higher rank. From Basic to Rare needs 2 SP, From Rare to Epic needs 5 SP, Epic to Legendary is 10 SP and Legendary to Myth needs 20 SP. A Special Skill cannot be upgraded while Legacy Skill needs LP(Legacy Points) that can only be earn by doing special quest or high ranking quest.

.....

While Shin waiting for his 5 minutes rest to end. A lot of Players are searching for him on the Southern Forest of the Beginner's Village.

”Boss that guy is gone, We have been searching on this place for more than 10 Hours we still can find that guy. Maybe he logout or already transfer on a Major City.” said by a Dark Elf in Dan's party.

”That is right Boss we have been here for to long. If we don't transfer now we are going to level up and our 'Class Promotion Quest' is going get harder”. agreed by the WolfKin.

”Both of you Sh*t the F*ck up! I don't believe that he manage to level-up that fast without us noticing. We hurriedly get in here after we got killed, so are you telling me that he reach level 10 from level 7 in just 20 minutes? That is just nonsense! I'm pretty sure that that guy is just hiding in this place. And to make sure tell some of our guys to be a look out inside the Village, and they need to report immediately if they manage to find him!!!!!” said Dan frustratedly.

.....

Inside the 'Miner's Grave' dungeon

”Your 5 minutes is up Feeble Human. OK, I'm going to seal some of my powers and lower it at same Level as yours so that you will not say that I'm bullying you. And be greatful for being an opponent of mine because all of my previous opponents manage to become a 'Transcendent Beings' after fighting me, and if you are lucky to convince me I might even tell you my name.” Said The Statue standing 7 meters away from Shin.

'This Stupid talking rock really like to boast.' said Shin while taking his sword drawing stance, but before the match series of system notification ring on Shin's ears.

*DING*

System: Since you have initiated the Quest on a level higher than ten, the System will select the difficulty for you.

System: You have initiated the Quest inside a Special Dungeon. The Quest difficulty will automatically set in the highest level 'Chaos Level'

Shin stared dumbly on the System Notification before cursing in his heart ”Are you kidding me? Where is our so called Human Rights? I can't even make a choice that is favorable to me? Is this game don't have any justice?”, but he shut up right away when he see the Quest details.

....

Then without further ado The Statue suddenly appeared in front of Shin throwing a diagonal slash with an extreme speed.

- 700

Shin didn't even manage to react when he is slice by that slash. Then 'The Statue' follow his attack by a horizontal cut and another diagonal slash followed after.

- 900

- 1 300

Shin stared blankly before getting killed. He don't know how react at that kind of attack speed, what's more is the skill that The Statue use is his own Self-Created Skill 'Triple Slash' and the most amazing at it is The Statue executed it in a more smooth and flawless motion without having any excess movement.

When Shin respawn, The Statue immediately restart the battle without letting Shin catch his breath.

The attack that The Statue use is the same 'Triple Slash' version of his, but this time Shin manage to react on what happen, he use a 'Quick Draw' blocking the first Slash, but he failed to block the second attack because he can't retract his sword in time and then he use his second death.

Then on his second respawn he manage to block the second attack by using a 'Destructive Slash' after his 'Quick Draw' but he still failed to block the third Slash resulting him to die once again by follow up attacks.

On his third respawn he manage dodge the third Slash by turning his body around in a timely manner. Then he block the follow ups by using 'Triple Slash' in the same movement as the Statue. But he still die on what follows after.

Shin and The Statue continue to exchange moves on a left to right basis. At first Shin is being overwhelm but he manage to block more and more attacks as the time passes and sometimes he able to throw some counter attack here and there.
