57 Chapter 58 (2/2)
The lunchtime passed by quickly and proceeded to afternoon classes. I can see that Rika wanted to ask me questions but it was quite obvious that I won't answer and also, bothering me in the middle of the class spells trouble to the teacher so she refrained from doing so.
Ding Dong Ding Dong
As the afternoon bell rang, students were immediately relieved after the school is over. I also sighed in relief. Once I return back home, it is time to level up my Scribe Ex Job and Blacksmithing in fast pace so that I would begin the quest that Almira has given me.
I also noticed that many students at school are players of Alternate World. Since Reality Verse Cabin is expensive, internet cafes have modified cabins that the Reality Verse Company specifically modified for players who wanted to play the game but has no money to buy the cabin. The company took a lot of planning which came up with internet cafes as benefactors for the game. If more players played the game, more people will be willing to invest for the game. Though it won't occur until the first patch, it will be occurring soon which I need to prepare. More competitors and more players. As I said, players are greedy creatures. If they knew that I still hold the throne of the number 1 player in the game, they would surely try to find my identity and also try to covet what items I might had by any means. Since I have no idea what will happen in the future, I need to prepare.
Janus and Riko are busy since they still have a few things from their own clubs. I have no clubs except if the Going-home Club existed, I have no other errands left. I quickly left the room before Rika gets the chance to get near with me.
The roads are bustling with students going home or about to visit a few shops in Shibuya though I don't really care. My first priority is to go back to the game, secure my level and also make higher achievements in Blacksmithing and Scroll Writing. There are still a few extra jobs that I have piqued with interest but I have doubts on mastering it. I have two reasons. One, I already have three Ex Jobs with me. Leveling the three efficiently is getting harder ad two, I have barely enough time. With the classes opening, my game time is cit short, same with Harmless Sparrow, Flaming Cutie and Dolly who are all attending the same school as I.
Walking home, I thought about my goals. Since Lesser Purgatory Abyss Mode and SP farming is already concluded, I need to build another goal. In future developments and events, one month from now would be the first game expansion launch of Alternate World and a Conquest will be issued one week before the Expansion. As the name implies, Conquest is about invading an area that is naturally not accessible in the past. However, not the brutal way of conquest. The Conquest can be also called a Huge Subjugation quest. Participating in the conquest is one of the biggest dreams of players after the first conquest task was issued.
The conquest is there to unlock the Expansion. A quest about the nearby continent in need of extra hands to help clear out a raid boss. The purpose of the Conquest is to find 20 individuals that will participate in the raid. Though it is said that you are not forced to party with these 20 people, it is necessary to complete the quest with them. The first twenty players that are selected will be the first pioneers in the new continent. According to my previous experience, the first continent that will be unlocked will be Sandurk. A land of both Rainforests and Desert. The two factions, High Elves and Dark Elves are introduced here.
My first goal is to reach level 100 before the First Conquest so that I can contribute a lot in the Conquest battle. The second goal is to advance my Versatile Job and class up. According to what I know, the Class Up changes your class but Versatile don't with only a single word added in the Versatile. After the class Up, a Versatile can become Master Versatile. It was a wide topic so let's just skip that part. My third goal is to keep my place in the Leaderboards. I know that Harmless Sparrow and that Black Hue Waters are two of my strongest competitors holding the biggest guilds in the game. If I didn't level up frequently, it won't be long before they will reach my level. Last would be to develop my Versatile Weapon. I have not really leveled my weapon up since I was so busy finalizing the battle in Lesser Purgatory and the SP farming. I need to level it up so that it can keep up with my level. Also, I think I need to reconsider equipping a new set of armor. My armor are already outdated. I have gained a lot of them in the dungeon diving and I have yet to check them. Maybe later?
Pondering those things, I suddenly bumped into a few bodies. They were hard as concrete but I knew I didn't bump into a wall. Instead, it was one of the group of delinquents that bullies me frequently. Among them is Souji Takamine. In my perspective, I knew what he wanted. He even called a few of his subordinates to 'deal' with me.
”Yo, punk. Thank you for humiliating me earlier. I have yet to give you my 'appreciation' for what you did earlier,” he gritted his teeth and began to grip their knuckles and cracking their fingers like what real thugs do. I already anticipated them, I just never expected that they would try to deal me out in the open.
