《Ascension of Shura》 Game Start It was a sunny day with a pleasent weather. In a huge manor, a 14 or so years old young girlcould be seen reading a book in the balcony. Anyone who saw her would be mesmerized by her beauty. Compared toher even a goddess would feel inadequate. Near her there are few potted plants with beautifull flowers. When you look at her the most noticable thing isthe thick glows in herhands with weard symbles etched into them. When she was about to turn another page she herd some noise and after few seconds few people barged in from the door. there was an elder with a long white beard wearing a goldenceremonial dress inlaid with what appeared to be genuine jewellery. Behind the elder few others came in carring a golden box. there were some kind of runes curved on its surface. When the girl saw the elder she put away her book and stand up. "Grandpa Zu!" she smiled radiently. It had such a distructive force that all the servents become frozen silly mesmerized by her beauty. "Ha ha my favorite grandson, grandpa baught you a present." The now identified young man sighs. "Grandpa I''m your only grand son." Elder waved it away "small details, now bring me the sealing container." Then servents who regained there consciousness immidiately baught the box near the elder. "Grandpa what is this?" "This will finally remove your curse my child. Inside this is an meridiansealing vaccine." "Is that true grandpa. This can really seal my meridians. So your research finally succeded!" "I won''t joke about this. So Lin Shen are you willing to take this vaccine. You should know that after taking this you would never be able to use your inner energy." "I know the risks grandpa. But this is the only way. If this works I''ll be finally free from my curse." "Haa what a pity... This is the only thing your grandpa can do for you." then he waved his hand over the box and a transparent hollographic pannel materialized above the box. He put his palm on the screen. A female voice emerged from the box saying "User Lin zu identified. Granting access." then suddenly runes on its surface glowed. Lin Zu bit his thumb to draw some blood and drop them on the top of the box. Then the runes stopped glowing and with a "click" sound the box opened. From inside Lin Zu picked up a vaccine filled with a colorless liquid and slowly injected it to Lin Shens arm. "How do you feel?" "I don''t feel any diffenent." then he removed his glows and gently touched a flower plant near him. When Lin Shen saw that there wasn''t any change on the plant tears started to flaw from his eyes. "Finally I''m free from the curse."This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
It was a sunny day with a pleasent weather. In a huge manor, a 16 or so years old young girlcould be seen reading a book in the balcony. Anyone who saw her would be mesmerized... "Lin Shennn... Let''s play". "sigh, that brat came today too ha. I won''t get any free time with that little devil around. Might as well play with her a bit." A Little girl around 10 years old came running into the balcony holding two bracelets. "Lin Shen, Lin Shen... Here see this, I orderd us 2 Linksto play Asgurd. Hee he these are from first thousand units." "Asgurd? Isn''t it supposed to be released in next month. How in the world did you got these Links." "I won them in a competition. He hee, praise me, praise me". "yea yea our little rin is a geneous." "Now that you accept my present you are my underling. I''m going to be the strongest player in the world and you are going to help me as my minion." "Aha, what have I gotten my self into!"he face palmed. A little finger suddenly jabbed into his face. When he looked down he saw little rin holding her pinky towards him. "pinky promise" she asked. He smiled and wraped his pinky around the little finger and smiled gently saying "pinky promise"...
It was 7.00 pm and asgurd is scheduled to start at 8.00 pm sharp. Lin shen put his Link, a bracelet shaped device used for virtual world immertions, and lie down on his bed. He then activated the link by pressing a small button. A tiny needle appeared and pierced his wrist drawing some blood. Then link bracelet glowed and suddenly every thing become black. Suddenly he appeared on a white space. Where ever he looked thers only endless white space. A generless voice suddenly said "Welcome to Asgurd. 58 minutes remaining for game to officially start. Would you like to create your character now?" ".. yes please." Then twofigures identical to him appeared wearing different outfits. "In Asgurd your ingame charactor has a 99.98% similarity to your physical body. Your appearence cannot be changed at all. Would you like to choose your class? If you want more information please say help." "I haven''t played a game for quiet some time now. It''s better to get some help" "Help!" "Tutorial initiated..." "There are 2main classes in Asgurd". "They are Warrior", the character holding a sword glowed, "and Mage", othercharactor who is holding a staff glowed. "After reaching level 10 you can upgrade your class to a specialized class." "Would you like to choose a class?" "Well mage is good I suppose." "I choose the Mage!" "Selection confirmed!" then a pannelshowing his attributes, which are currently blank, appeared in front of him. "Now please assign attribute points. There are 3 types of basic attributes called Inteligence, Strenth, and Agility. Primary attribute of mages is Inteligence while while that of warriors is strenth. primary atributes decide the attacking power of the charactor. Innitially 3 points will be allocated equally among three attributes. 2 additionel points can be allocated freely." "...Well I''ll allocate both of these points to inteligence." After allocating the points voice said to him "since you are one of the 1000 price winners, you are eligible to the lucky wheel." A wheel with 6 divitions marked from A to E and one with sappeared in front of him. "please rotate the wheel." voice said to him. Lin Shen then grabbed the wheel and rotated it. After some time the wheel stopped at the division marked as A. "User Ling Shen receaved a A class reward. the reward will be given after the game starts." "Character creation complete. Please wait untill the game starts.." .........Let the game Start! Hunting.. ... Let the game start.

The world turned black for few minutes and then a voice sounded next to him. "Player Lin shen will be transferred randomly to one of the beginner towns of Asgurd" In Asgurd, there are over a Thousandmajor cities and Millionsof towns. A new player begins his adventure in a capital or a major city of comparable size. ¡°Zing¡± in a flash of light Lin Shen appeared in the city centre of Risenburg, one of the minor towns for beginners. There¡¯s a large sign fixed in the town centre stating ¡±Welcome to Risenburg¡±. "Player Lin shen will receivethe ¡°mask of the saint¡± as the Aclass reword." Suddenly the system voice announced near his ear and a mask materialized covering his face. ¡°So this is my reword, well let¡¯s see how good this is.¡± He waved his hand and a holographic panel appeared in front of him. There are 3 accessories equipped to his avatar. Wooden Staff : +1 magic attack Starting clothes : +1 defence Mask of the saint : +10 HP/s , +2 Movement ¡°Wow this is one hell of a reword. Guess I¡¯m pretty lucky. Well it¡¯s time to grind some levels I guess.¡± He looked at his status sheet.
Level : 1 Strength : 1 Agility: 1 Intelligence : 3 HP : 50 (1+600/minute) MP : 30 (3/minute) Attack : 3(+1) Defence : 0(+1) Movement : 1(+2) Skill : fireball (H) - (Damage : Atk*100%)(Cool down : 5s)(MP : 1) Skill : Analyse (H) - (Lvl 1)
When he look around he saw thousands of people running around and many flashes of lights appearing every second indicating login of new players. ¡°Ring..¡± a circular image of Xia Rin appeared in front of him. ¡°Oh that brat, I wonder where she ended up.¡± He touched the image and a miniature avatar of Xia Rin appeared in front of him. ¡°Big bro where are you, I started in pinying town.¡±The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. ¡°Well it seams that I ended up in Risenburg.¡± ¡°Big Bro, what did you got from the reword. Whatever it is ,it definitely won¡¯t be better than mine any way. I got a S class gift.¡± ¡°OH! Congratulation little Rin.¡± ¡°He Hee, I¡¯m going to beat some monsters. You better come to meat me soon got it.¡± ¡°Ha¡­ what a troublesome brat. Well I¡¯ll better start killing some monsters too.¡± Lin shen went out side the city centre to search some monsters to kill but what he saw was a pitiful scene. When ever a monster pops up it would get surrounded by dozen or so players and got beaten down in seconds. ¡°.¡­.¡± Lin Shen was completely speechless. He sigh and moved out towards the town gate and exist out side from the town. Further he walked from the town player density starts to reduce more and more. When he reached the forest area outside the town he saw monsters with levels exceeding 2 appearing more frequently. There are still several players ganging up to beat these monsters. He looked around and went into the forest area. After walking for some time while avoiding monsters roaming around he reached a place where no players could be seen or heard. There he saw a large turtle, nearly the size of a cow, sleeping several dozen meters away from him. ¡°Analyse¡± Lin Shen said and a panel appeared in front of him.
Guardian turtle (******) Level : 6 Strength : 170 Agility: 1 Intelligence : 9 HP : 8500 (170/minute) MP : 90 (9/minute) Attack : 170 Defence : 100 Movement : 1 Skill 1 : Water Blast (G) - (Damage : Atk*180%)(Cool down : 15s)(MP : 5) Skill 2 : Iron Shell (F) - (Defence : +100)(Cool down : 25s)(MP : 10)(Duration : 20s) Skill 3: Turtle guard (F) - (Movement: 5%)(Defence : +100)(Toggle cool down : 50s)
Suddenly the turtle opened it¡¯s eyes and look towards him. It starts to emit a strange sound while standing up. Lin Shen slowly retreated backwards while keeping the beginner sword in front of him. When that turtle started to open its mouth he immediately ran away from the turtle hiding behind the nearest tree. A second later a beam of water blasted near him nearly curving through the tree. Without looking back using full movement bones given to him through the mask he ran away. After few minutes when he finally noticed that he lost that monster he stopped to regain his breath. ¡°Ahaaa.. what the hell a freaking 6 star boss doing in a beginner area. I nearly killed my self there.¡± When he looked around he saw that he has arrived near a clearing. There was a weird rune glowing on the ground. When he came near to it rune started to glow brilliantly and a system voice sounded to him saying, ¡°Player Lin Shen discovered an unknown dungeon entrance. You are the 7thperson to find a dungeon entrance. Hidden attribute fame gets +40. This dungeon has an exact level requirement of level 1. Do you wish to enter this dungeon?¡± ¡°Oh! This is a rare chance. To think I was able to find such a low level dungeon in my first day.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Then every thing become dark for few seconds and he appeared inside a cave. ¡°You have entered an one time restricted dungeon. Here if you died once or cleared the dungeon it will disappear completely.¡± ¡°Dungeon specified de buffs are applied. 10% of max HP per second will be reduced inside the dungeon.¡± ¡°Oi oi.. Is this a dungeon or some kind of death trap. I was really luck to have obtained that mask before.¡± He then walked forward through the cave. Soon he encountered the first monster in the dungeon a white wolf. ¡°Analyse¡±
White Wolf(***) Level : 1 Strength : 10 Agility: 3 Intelligence : 2 HP : 500 (10/minute) MP : 20 (2/minute) Attack : 10 Defence : 1 Movement : 3 Skill 1 : Iron Claw (G) - (Damage : Atk*150%)(Cool down : 10s)(MP : 5) Skill 2 : Howl(F) - (Damage : Atk*50%)(Ally Boost : Atk*130%)(Cool down : 25s)(MP : 10)(Duration : 20s)
Oh man, this game is completely broken. Why the hell are there so many bosses today. ¡°I guess its time for me to start hunting.¡± First dungeon & the curse. ¡°I guess its time for me to start hunting.¡±

When he looked at the wolf, it was still sleeping. He looked around a bit and hid behind a rock where large number of stalactites were formed above it. Then he carefully aimed at the wolf and fired a fireball. The wolf suddenly woke up and looked around. When it saw the human hiding behind the rock it Howled and ran towards Lin Shen. When the wolf came near him he fired a fireball to the ceiling jumped away. Due to the explotion stalactites fell down on to the wolf killing it instantly. Then a system voice sounded to him, ¡°Due to constraint in the dungeon you cannot level up. Due to constraint in the dungeon no monster loot will be available. A new skill is activated by the user due to unique conditions¡± ¡°Tch, this is such a troublesome dungeon. So what¡¯s this new skill,¡± Skill : ??? (???) : Can gain 10% of killed monster¡¯sattack power (Only from 2* or higher monsters)(Lvl 1). Suddenly he felt a familiar feeling of energy flowing to him coming from the dead monster. ¡°This.., Isn¡¯t this energy from my curse. Why did it turn into a skill and how did it even happen. My meridians are sealed since 2 years ago.¡± ¡°May be this is something else. Well it doesn¡¯t matter, I got such a crazy skill after all.¡± Attack : 4(+1) ¡°My attack really went up. This is awesome. Well then lets see what other surprises this dungeon has.¡± After some time he saw a bat hanging on the cave wall. ¡°Analyse¡± Vampire bat(**) Level : 1 Strength : 1 Agility: 5 Intelligence : 4 HP : 50 (1/minute) MP : 40 (4/minute) Attack : 1 Defence : 0 Movement : 5 Skill : Leach (H) - (Life Steal : Atk*10%) Skill : Detect (H) - (Lvl 1) He pointed at the bat and launched a fireball¡­.

It has been more than 3 hours since he got trapped in this dungeon. He had already killed several dozen wolfs and a few hundred bats on the way. His attack has already reached to an unbelievable number.Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. Attack : 52(+1) ¡°This is one heck of a cheat skill. And this dungeon is also absurd. In the Manuel they said that over 90% of monsters are just single star, but here each and every one is over 2 stars.¡± ¡°Anyway I better finish this dungeon fast Or I¡¯ll be stuck in Lvl 1 forever.¡± He walked through the dungeon till he reached a dread end. At the end there is a glowing pillar of light connecting the earth and the ceiling. When he went near it a system voice announced to him, ¡°Player Lin Shen is about to enter a new dungeon. Do you want to proceed.¡± ¡°Yes¡± he said. Then he was teleported to another dungeon. When he looked around, he saw a beautiful cave filled with blue crystals. Arcs of electricity seam to appear randomly among these crystals. ¡°Player has entered to sacred inheritance ground. All user weapons will be locked away till player leaves the area.¡± At once his staff, mask and even his cloths disappeared. ¡°Hey, at least leave my cloths¡­¡± he was dumbfounded by this thieving act of the dungeon. ¡°Due to constrains in the dungeon you cannot level up. Due to constrains in the dungeon no monster loot will be available. Due to constrains in the dungeon your HP will be restricted to 1. Due to constrains in the dungeon your Lvl will be restricted to 1. Due to constrains in the dungeon your Defence will be restricted to 0. Due to constrains in the dungeon you will not be able to leave the dungeon till you cleared the dungeon. Due to constrains in the dungeon killed monsters will not re spawn.¡± ¡°What the hell, who designed this shitty dungeon. Come out and I promise you not to beat you too badly.¡± ¡°At least no one is there to see me. If I was seen I would have to find a cliff to jump from. Well I¡¯ll just die quickly and revive back in the town. It¡¯s not like I can loose any more levels.¡± When he walked forward he saw the first monster in this dungeon. It was a ball of electricity floating idly on air. Till he used analyse on it he didn''t even knew that ball was a monster. Lightning spirit(**********) Level : 1 Strength : 1 Agility: 9 Intelligence : 40 HP : 50 (1/minute) MP : 400 (40/minute) Attack : 40 Defence : 0 Movement : 9 Skill 1 : Extreme shock (D) - (Damage : Atk*300%)(Cool down : 5s)(MP : 5) Skill 2 : Ethereal (D) - (Immune to all physical attacks as long as targets level doesn¡¯t exceed 20 levels above it.

Effect will last for 30 - 1 second depending on enemy level.) ¡°*@$%*&¡­ why the hell the damn final boss doing in the entrance. Did it got lost or was it bored.¡± ¡°Zap!!¡± ¡°Player died in the dungeon. Reviving after 60 seconds. 59, 58,¡­..¡± ¡°Oh I died¡­.., Then why the hell I¡¯m still in the dungeon!!¡± When he died he revived at the entrance after countdown reached zero. ¡°At least that boss doesn¡¯t have a high HP. I could probably kill it with one shot. Let¡¯s try this again.¡± He walked towards the spirits direction and as soon as he saw the spirit he waved his hand calling fireball. A fireball materialized and blasted towards the spirit. Suddenly the spirit zoomed away and, ¡°Zap!!¡± ¡°Player died in the dungeon¡­..¡± ¡°Zap your sister you a** ho***! That guy is impossible.¡± ¡°Haaa¡­, It seams that I¡¯ll have to try till I succeed. It¡¯s not like I will loose anything from trying.¡± ¡°Zap!!¡± ¡°Player died in the dungeon¡­..¡± ¡°Again¡± ¡°Zap!!¡± ¡°Player died in the dungeon¡­..¡±

After some time, ¡°Player has successfully killed the lightning spirit.¡± ¡°I killed that thing, I¡­I really killed that monster. Ha ha haa¡­, Finally it¡¯s over. I can at least start playing the game normally now and have a fresh start from town centre.¡± ¡°Player Lin Shen is the first to kill a 10* monster. Hidden attribute fame gets +200.¡± ¡°Player Lin Shen killed a 10* monster before 1stclass advancement. A random ¡®F¡¯ class skill will be given as a reword.¡± ¡°Player Lin Shen killed a 10* monster at level 1. Title ¡®monster rookie¡¯ acquired.¡± ¡°Well that¡¯s a lot of rewords. It was worth getting zapped for several dozens of times. Since the boss fight is over I should find the exit and clear this dungeon.¡± ¡°Before that I should check those rewards.¡± Skill : Ice barrage (F) - (Project 5 ice shards towards the enemy)(Damage : Atk*100% per shard)(Cool down : 20s)(MP : 20) ¡°Oh this is pretty good. My base attack is already at 56. A total attack of 280 would probably exceed even those who did their 1stclass up.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see what this title is¡­¡± Title : monster rookie - +3 additional attribute points will be given with every level up. ¡°.¡­.¡± ¡°It was totally worth all the trouble I went through.¡± ¡°well its time to clear this dungeon I suppose.¡± He walked through path forward and turned around a bend. ¡°*@$%*&!:*¡± Lin Shen was completely dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. There on the dungeon, floating in air were dozens of Lightning spirits identical to the previous one. ¡°Zap!!¡±, ¡°Zap!!¡±, ¡°Zap!!¡±, ¡°Zap!!¡±¡­¡­. ¡°Player died in the dungeon¡­..¡± ¡°.¡­¡­.¡± ¡°You shitty game, I want my money back!!!!¡± End and a Beginning. ¡°You shitty game, I want my money back!!!!¡±

It was a beautiful morning with sun shining brightly in the sky. There¡¯s a huge mansion and in front of that mansion is a tranquil Zen garden with a large clearing in the middle and a beautiful pond at a side. In the clearing 2 people could be seen sparring against each other using realswords.The edges of these swords were blunted for safety. One of them is a pretty young girl about 16 years old. On the other side there was an old man nearing his late fifties. ¡°Lin Shen, that''s enough sparring. Show me how much you mastered flowing water blade.¡± ¡°yes master Quing!¡± Now identified Lin Shen brought his sword horizontally and adjusted his foot work. Then he crouched down and moved forward. To any spectator, it would seam as his body become a haze making it very difficult to lock on to him. To master Quing, he saw that his disciple moved leisurely towards him and casually swing his sword. But despite this he barely had any time to bring hissword to block the attack. That attack was too fast and completely untraceable. One second Lin shen was dozen of meters away and in next second he has already attacked. ¡°Fast! He has become too fast. This is definitely not the level a body refiner should have.I heard that lord Zu sealed his meridians.¡± When he blocked the attack, his eyes widened when an impossible scene occurred. Lin Shen¡¯s sword phased through his own sword as it it was nothing but air. Lin Quing instantly activated his golden core using every ounce of his strength to move backwards. He disappeared and reappeared several dozen of meters away. He looked down at his sword which only has half of its blade remaining. Other half is still falling down from where he first stood a second ago. ¡°You little monster, you nearly took this old man¡¯s life there. That was not the flowing water blade. What the hell was that?¡± ¡°No it was definitely the water blade, I just incorporated some natural laws into the technique.¡± ¡°Oh is that so¡­. You WHAT? You, You incorporated natural laws. Please don¡¯t make fun of this old man kid. My heart is not strong as it used to be.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ I¡¯m not joking you know. I only used some water concepts to harmonize the flow of the sword.¡± ¡°.¡­ Do it again. This time at that tree.¡± master Quing showed a thick tree several foots wide. This time use the 3rdstance of the flowing water blade technique. ¡°All right¡± Lin Shen nodded and brought his sword in front of him. This time master Quing focused all of the power from his golden core to his eyes straining them to the limit. Lin Shen kept the blade horizontally in front of him and touched its blade with two fingers from the other hand. Then he disappeared creating ten thousand hazy images like his image was being reflected from ten thousand water droplets. In the next instant he was back his original position keeping the exact same stance as if he never moved in the first place. ¡°Thud!¡±, ¡°Thud!¡±¡­ In front of Master Quing¡¯s awed eyes, that large tree started to fall down piece by piece. Each piece was a cube cut cleanly from the tree. ¡°So it¡¯s true. You really mastered the concept of water. Even I mastered a concept after reaching the soul manifestation realm you know. To master a concept while in body refining realm , aha¡­ if only your aura didn¡¯t mutate.¡± Lin Zu who just arrived said emotionally. ¡°Ha ha ha.. At least now this old man can rest freely. No one below soul formation realm would dare to bully you now. Even if you can¡¯t cultivate you can call your self a proud son of Lin family.¡± ¡°Good, good. Today is a great day. I came with another great news. Lin Shen your mother and father both succeeded in their breakthrough to soul formation stage. They are now the youngest in the history to reach the soul realm. Our Lin family now have 4 soul realm experts. They will come out in a couple of weeks after stabilizing their realm.¡± ¡°Father, mother¡­ they succeeded!.¡± It was like a thunder went through his entire body. His legs become week as he fell down to his knees tears flowing non stop from his eyes. His entire body relaxed as if a huge burden got removed. Lin Zu gently looked at his crying grandson¡°Finally your troubles are over little Shen.¡±

It has been 7 days since that incident. In the garden Lin Shen could be seen tending to a flower pot clipping away extra leaves. During the time when his curse was still present he couldn¡¯t go to school with other children. So after his curse got resolved he was very eager to go to school and enjoy it with his classmates. But today even though its a school day he was staying in his home. This was because today is the valentine day. When he first entered to school two years ago, during the valentine day a huge disaster occurred when almost every male in the school, even some of the teachers tried to give him valentine chocolates. It created such a disturbance that damages caused due to in fighting caused the school to close for several weeks. In the following year he naively thought it was a one time event and went to the school during the valentine day and even a greater disaster occurred when even students from neighbouring schools tried to force their way inside. Due to this event called valentine calamity he was given a mandatory leave during that week. This caused him to nearly cry ¡°I¡¯m a man damn it¡±. After tending to the plant, just as he was about to get up he heard a voice shouting ¡°Lin Shennnn..¡± Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit. ¡°Aha, that little devil is here.¡±He signs and got up just as a fast moving object collided with his stomach. ¡°He Hee, listen to this big bro. I¡¯m already 3rdplace in the world ranking. I¡¯m already at level 27. When I reach level 30 I¡¯m going to start my own guild.¡± ¡°My little Rin is the best..¡± he began to pat her head. Looking at her expression he can almost imagine a tail waving behind her. ¡°Lin Shen, you promised to be my underling right. You will be the first member of my guild. So tell me what¡¯s your level now.¡± ¡°Aha Its, I mean It¡¯s a secret.¡± ¡°Hmp, I will see it soon any way. Keep your stupid secrets for now.¡± She pouted and ran away. Lin Shen smiled bitterly at that. ¡°I can¡¯t tell her that I¡¯m still level 1¡± It has been two whole weeks since he first entered and he was still stuck on the dungeon. After fighting those spirits for few days non stop he became proficient enough to predict their movements and kill them using a combo of fire ball and Ice barrage. Even with his constant progress the dungeon is extremely massive. ¡°At least my attack has gone up to a ridiculous level. Well let¡¯s try it again today.¡± After taking a shower and cleaning up he put on the link and logged on to the Asgurd. When he opened his eyes he saw the familiar dungeon. It was the place where he last logged off. After becoming familiar with those spirits his death rate has gone very low. He then started to walk forward till he saw a bend. He sneakily came to the edge of the bend and suddenly jumped towards the entrance sending out a fire ball without even looking and releasing ice barrage a fraction of a second later few degrees to north from the fire ball. Without losing momentum he reached the other side of the wall and kicking the wall he somersaulted back missing several dozen lightning arcs and moved towards the spirits avoiding lighting arcs through predicting their trajectories. It was a deadly dance where even a single millisecond of an error would have caused an instant death. After few minutes the entier area was cleared with a panting Lin Shen standing at the centre. Even tough non of his parameters went up aside from his attack he managed to create these kinds of miracles through shear skill. After moving forward for few hours and clearing several such spirit infested areas he finally reached a different scenario. In front of him was a dead end and a huge door could be seen on the wall. When he came near the door a system announcement sounded to him, ¡°Player Lin Shen is about to enter the final BOSS room. After killing the boss you can clear the dungeon. Do you wish to enter the dungeon.¡± ¡°Finally¡­ YES!!!¡± Then he was teleported to a new location. Every where he looked it was filled with arcs of lightning. Millions of lightning arcs are zipping around the cave like agitated snakes. Suddenly, ¡°Zap!!¡± ¡°Player died in the dungeon. Reviving after 60 seconds. 59, 58,¡­..¡± ¡°.¡­.¡± ¡°Mmm, It seams that lighting came from above.¡± Next time he entered he immediately looked above and said ¡®analyse¡¯. ¡°Zap!!¡± ¡°Player died in the dungeon.¡­..¡± Though he died, he managed to get a glimpse of the boss and got its stat sheet.

He was dizzy for a moment looking at the scene he was longing for these few weeks. ¡°Aha¡­, I¡¯m back¡± Strongest newbie ¡°Aha¡­, I¡¯m back¡±

First thing he did after getting back was to check whether his cloths are present. Fortunately he was completely dressed along with his mask when he appeared. ¡°Lets check the spoils of war..¡± He waved his hand and theholographic panelwith his statusappeared in front of him.

Oh my analyse skill went up. But it should only level up after I class up. Is it because I analysed that divine class monster? Well, no use in worrying about a free gift like that.¡± ¡°Mmm..Let¡¯s see what my S class reward is¡± Inventory Wooden Staff : +1 magic attack(cannot be equipped due to class restrictions.)Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve.

Wow I think I used up all my luck for seven generations for this.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s use this now¡± he clicked the seal icon on his inventory. ¡°You are using the summoning seal (Life) item to revive a monster as your life pet. After summoning you cannot change pets. You can only have one life pet till you reach the 3rdclass advancement. Do you want to confirm the use of this item.¡± ¡°Yes!!¡± In a flash of light a golden ball of light materialized in front of him. Then suddenly it disappeared. ¡°The pet you summoned is divine class. Minimal level for a divine class is level 100. Except in a unique situation this pet will stay in the pet space till it reach level 100. Till it reach level 100 , 80% of player experience will be taken in by the pet.¡± ¡°*@$%*&!:*¡± ¡°What the hell, where¡¯s my promised OP partner. I don¡¯t need this useless free loader.¡± ¡°Sign.., can¡¯t do any thing about it now. Might as well start grinding.¡± ¡°Before that let¡¯s check player rankings.¡± World rankings
  1. Xia Rin (China) - Lvl 29 - Berserker priest
  2. Michael Lewis (America) - Lvl 28 - Assassin
  3. Alexei Vasiliev (Russia) - Lvl 28 - Knight
  4. Unknown (Japan) - Lvl 27 - Blaze Archer
  5. Lin Chenguang (China) - Lvl 27 - Wizard
¡°Oh well done little Rin, World rank one is quiet an achievement. I have to hurry as well. After that girl reach level 30 she will definitely create her own guild. Unless I reach level 10 I can¡¯t join her guild. I have to keep my promise after all.¡± ¡°Mmm.., there are two unique classes among the top 5 already. Probably that S class reward little Rin got was the Berserker priest unique class.¡± When he went out from the town centre he saw a new addition which wasn¡¯t there. It was a large board with various notices. Several adventures could be seen loitering near that board. While he was walking towards the notice board he looked around the town. Different from the time he first logged on, there is a rather relaxed atmosphere. Since the starting period is over small mobs are no longer appearing inside the town. To farm experience you have to head out side the town. After reaching the notice board he saw several notices available. Near the notice board there¡¯s a NPC leaning on the board. He could be identified pretty easily by the huge golden exclamation mark above his head. When Lin Shen walked towards the NPC he got up and asked, ¡°Hello young adventure, are you here to take a city quest. Do you want to listen to the rules or are you going to take a quest right away.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll listen to the rules please.¡± ¡°You are new here right. I can tell from your beginner equipment, except for that mask that is. This notice board was erected after more than 200 adventures from this town reached their first class up. So this is primarily for those who have reached there first class advancement and majority of the quests have a level limitation. You should probably visit the mayor for beginner quests, though I doubt there¡¯s much left since starting period is almost over.¡± ¡°Although there are several quests here without a level restrictions, Usually these types are permanent monster subjugation requests. If you accept these kind of request you have to subjugate the minimum number required and for any additional subjugation you will get additional rewards up to a certain limit. If you failed to reach the minimum subjugations you will receive a penalty.¡± ¡°Is there a limit to how many such requests could be taken?¡± ¡°No, but it¡¯s better to take it easy for beginners.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Lin Shen then looked at the notice board. There were 2 quests he could take among all those quests. Goblin subjugation
  1. Go to the northern forest area outside the town.
  2. There you will find a nest of goblins. Entire forest area have been infested by those goblins. Please exterminate those goblins.
  3. Minimum 10 goblins must be killed.
  4. Return back to the quest board to receive the reward.
  5. Rewards : 10 XP, 1 iron per goblins killed.
Wolf Pellet collection
  1. Go to the northern forest area outside the town.
  2. There you will find a group of wolfs. When killed there''s a possibility to receive wolf pellets as loots. They will be used to make cloths during winter. Minimum 5 wolf pellets must be collected.
  3. Return back to the quest board to receive the reward.
  4. Rewards : 10 XP, 2 iron per wolf pellets killed.
¡°I¡¯ll select these two.¡± ¡°Both of them? Are you sure?¡± ¡°Yes¡± Then a panel opened in front of him stating, Current Quests Goblin subjugation - 0/10 Wolf Pellet collection - 0/5 ¡°Then let¡¯s start some good old fashion grinding.¡± Level up and first weapon. ¡°Then let¡¯s start some good old fashion grinding.¡±

After accepting the quest he received two scrolls. When he opened them he found out that they are maps to reach the hunting grounds. Following the maps, he went out of the town towards the northern forest. While walking towards his destination he looked around to see many adventurers farming monsters in groups or solo. Though there are some wearing newbie clothings and equipments, most are wearing higher tier equipments. After few minutes he reached to the edge of the forest and then entered the forest going deeper into it. Even in the forest there¡¯s a high density of players fighting against the monsters. When he reached his destination, he saw a cave and a large number of goblins near the entrance of it. quiet a few people are hunting those goblins. ¡°They are probably doing the same quest as me. Oh well I should probably go inside the goblin den if I want to complete the quest.¡± He went towards the entrance of the cave. ¡°Oi, girly¡­¡± he heard a shout behind him. Just as he was about to enter the cave a hand clamped on to his shoulder. When he looked behind, he saw a panting man wearing a worrier outfit holding on to his shoulder. ¡°Oi, little girl you are a new here right? You are still wearing only the starting clothes. On the other hand you got an extra accessory like that mask. Where did you got that any way¡­¡± ¡°Mister¡­¡­¡± ¡°Oh I forgot to introduce my self. I¡¯m Wang Boling. Level 21 Knight.¡± ¡°So mister Wang would you please release your hand.¡± ¡°Oh sorry!¡± ¡°No problem, now why did you stop me suddenly? I¡¯m in a hurry you know.¡± ¡°You are trying to enter that cave right?¡± ¡°Yes, so?¡± ¡°Are you trying to complete the goblin subjugation request?¡± ¡°yes, is there a problem with it?¡± ¡°Then you should wait until these goblins on the outside re spawn. Don¡¯t go in there. It would be a shame to see such a pretty girl die you know. There¡¯s a level 30 hobgoblin boss living in there. It¡¯s even 2 stars. If you encounter it you would definitely die you know.¡± ¡°Aha, thanks for the warning but it¡¯s not needed. First I¡¯m just level 1 so there¡¯s no death penalty. Next I¡¯m wearing only beginner equipments and an extra equipments. So both will not drop even if I die. So I¡¯ll be going then.¡± He freed his shoulder and walked towards the cave entrance. Then he stopped and looked back and said, ¡°Oh one more thing, I¡¯m a boy¡± ¡°.¡­ Seriously?¡± ¡°Yep, behind this mask I have a very manly face if I say so myself.¡± Lin Shen laughed and entered in to the cave.

After entering the cave Lin Shen saw one of the most iconic canon fodder in RPG games. Goblins are small, standing between 3 to 4 feet tall with a hunched posture. Their skin ranges from green through yellow and orange to various shades of red. When those goblins noticed him, dozens of greedy little eyes locked on to him. ¡°Analyse¡± he said looking at one of the goblins. Goblin (*) Level : 1 Strength : 2 Agility: 2 Intelligence : 1 HP : 100 (2/minute) MP : 10 (1/minute) Attack : 2 Defence : 1If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. Movement : 1 Monster Ability: Cross Breeding- (Can breed with any non humanoid monster to reproduce ) Goblins started to shout ¡°Chivik¡±, ¡°Chavok¡± and charged at him. He smiled and waved his hand sending an Ice barrage and activated the Lightning step investing just 1 MP per second. Then he charged towards the group of monsters attacking them bare handed. His every attack created arcs of lightning doing massive damage and vaporising several goblins at once. In a few seconds, entire group of goblins having over 30 goblins were killed. ¡°Hmm, I still haven''t levelled up. From what I know, each goblin gives about 1 Exp right? There were 32 goblins though. What happened?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s see..¡± Level : 1 (6.4/10) Pet Level : 2 (15.6/40) ¡°Aha that useless free loader, I completely forgot about him. Well it can¡¯t be helped. I just have to work harder for a while. It seams that I already completed one of the quests. Let¡¯s just kill the boss and call it a day. After all I just completed that inheritance dungeon today.¡± While he was walking deeper in to the cave, more and more goblins started to attack him. When he was walking while casually killing those goblins, he finally met the goblin boss. Hobgoblin (**) Level : 30 Strength : 270 Agility: 20 Intelligence : 10 HP : 13500(270/minute) MP : 100 (10/minute) Attack : 270 (+60) Defence : 10 Movement : 20 Monster Ability : Cross Breeding - (Can breed with any non humanoid monster to reproduce ) Skill 1 : Extreme Attack(H) - (Damage : Atk*130%)(Cool down : 9s)(MP : 10) Skill 2: Rally(H) - (Call all the goblins in a 300 meter radius to come running towards it to help it.) Equipments : High quality katana (Rare) The Hobgoblin was huge compared to other goblins with a height of about 6 feet tall. When it saw the little human walking towards him leisurely, it roared and slashed with its sword intending to cut him in half. Lin Shen smiled behind his mask and activated Lightning step with 10 MP and then activated Over boost and instantly disappeared from the view. When he reappeared in the starting position 6 sparks appeared all over the Bosses body and it¡¯s health dropped to zero. It looked dumbly at the human before him and burst into golden dust. ¡°Hmm, it seams I can somehow use my martial art techniques here. But using them without sensing natural laws is pretty damn hard. Whatever, let¡¯s see the spoils.¡± On the ground there¡¯s a single katana lying where the boss died. He picked it up and analyse it. Equipments : High quality katana (Rare) - (Attack +60) [Weapon skill : Shock wave (H) - has a 20% chance to release a shock wave causing 15 - 5 additional physical attack damage and cause a knock back effect.] (can be equipped by a melee class.)(minimum level : 1). ¡°Oh this is good! Let¡¯s see whether I can equip this.¡± ¡°Equip¡± At once he could sense the sword and all of it¡¯s functions. ¡°So it seams my class is a melee type. I was hoping to be an amazing wizard though.¡± ¡°It¡¯s getting late, I should allocate my stat points and log out for today.¡± Level : 5 (34/350) Pet Level : 7 (16/740) Class : Lightning god (Divine) Title : divine rookie (+10additional attribute points will be given with every level up.)

That damn free loader eat entire 80% of my experience. Only good thing is that 10 extra attribute points per level.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s return to the town centre and log out.¡± He walked out from the cave entrance and walked towards the town. ¡°Oi, girly¡­ wait up¡­¡± a Knight came running towards him. He was the guy he met previously before entering the den. When he heard the knight still calling him a girl he let out a sigh. It was always the same. No one believes him at first, apart from his family that is. Though this time he was even wearing a mask. He don¡¯t know why this guy mistake him for a girl. After the knight catch up to him he asked, ¡°You came back? You have some good luck if you didn¡¯t meet that boss.¡± Lin Shen kept his silent without bothering to correct other persons mistake. ¡°Hey what do you think about joining my team? All of us have done our class ups. We already have 4 team mates. We just need another to fill our team.¡± ¡°No¡± He replied instantly. ¡°If you are interested why do¡­ wait what did you said?¡± ¡°Sorry I¡¯m not interested in joining any party for now. See you later!¡± and using Lightning step he flashed away. ¡°Whoa, fast!, Is that a skill? That girl should have already passed her first class advancement.¡± Re appearing near town entrance he stopped his skill and walked towards the town centre to log off. ¡°I should complete those two quests tomorrow and take the rewards.¡± ¡°For now..¡± ¡°Log off.¡± schemes and rewards. ¡°For now..¡± ¡°Log off.¡±

¡®Lin Zi Yuan¡¯ is one of the best high schools in the whole world with a ranking of first in China. It has a history of nearly one and half a century since its establishment. It¡¯s entrance requirements are very harsh. Only genuineness among genuineness can enter to this school. No matter what kind of background one has if they are not academically gifted they cannot enter to this school. Since this school is jointly sponsored by both Lin family and Xia family, two of the four largest powerhouses in the world, no one dares to cheat their way in. Today is a normal school day and a constant stream of students could be seen coming in to the school to begin their daily routine. At the entrance an extremely beautiful girl of 16 years or so old could be seen waiting for some one. All most all the males are turning there heads in her direction while passing the gate. Some times people even collide with each other but shrugged it off as this is a common occurrence happening every morning. After some time a hover car arriving at a breath taking speed stopped smoothly in front of the school entrance. It was a ¡®Lumi¨¨re d''argent¡¯ ,one of the newest and most expensive cars in the world, worth more than 60 million Yuan. From the driving seat of the car another beautiful girl got out and tap the car saying, ¡°Return at 3 in the afternoon.¡± Then that car without any driver, automatically raised to the air and moved away. After that she looked at the smiling girl in front of her and went forward to hug her saying, ¡°Lin Shen.., I miss you¡­¡± Lin Shen smiled at the girl currently hugging him and said, ¡°Xia Biyu, We just met last week. It¡¯s just two days ago.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s too long for me.¡± ¡°All right, let¡¯s go to the class before school starts.¡± ¡°So Shen tell me, which level are you now. I already reached level 26 yesterday.¡± ¡°Mmm, I¡¯m just level 5 now.¡± ¡°Whaat???¡­. What did you do all this time?¡± ¡°Aha, It¡¯s a bit complicated. Lot of things happened and I just didn¡¯t get time to play Asgurd.¡± he lied. ¡°Shen, you do know that your ability in Asgurd is very important right? Specially as the sole hair to the entire Lin family. I heard your cousin ¡®little Chang¡¯ taken the 5thplace in world ranking. And that annoying little brat Rin is the first in world ranking. She even got a unique class. That ¡®Berserker priest¡¯ class is totally unfair.¡± ¡°Oh!, you met her in game?¡± ¡°No I didn¡¯t. Didn¡¯t you see those videos uploaded on the web. She¡¯s a freaking monster. She can heal and damage at the same time.¡± This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere. ¡°Haha¡­ that¡¯s good to hear. You should be happy for her too you know. She''s your cousin right. Well I¡¯m going to my class now, see you at lunch time.¡± While talking they have already reached near their class rooms. When he was about to enter to the class, Biyu cached his hand and said, ¡°After you reached level 10 come to Beilong city. I¡¯ll help you level up OK¡± Then before he can reply she ran off towards her class. ¡°Haa.. whatever, I¡¯ll think about it later.¡±

At lunch he was waiting for Biyu in the school cafeteria. While he was waiting for her, he ordered some pizza and sat on one of the empty tables. After some time he heard some footsteps coming his way. When he looked in that direction he saw a senior student along with some other students approaching him. He recognize the senior student as Xian meng. He was recognized by everyone as one of the geniuses in the Xian family younger generation, reaching inner Aura realm just at 18 years of age. He was recognized as someone with the potential to form a gold core during his life time. Although the Xian family is just a branch family of Xia family, he was chosen to be groomed by the Xia family enjoying same benefits as a direct descendent. Xian Meng after reaching his table sit on one of the empty chairs across him. ¡°Yo¡­, Long time no see Lin Shen, the esteemed young master of Lin family.¡± ¡°Sign, what do you want here with me?¡± ¡°Come on, can¡¯t I come here to learn from the heavenly genius Lin Shen. One who reached 10thlevel of body tempering realm just at the age of 10.¡± ¡°Oh I forgot you can¡¯t cultivate any more. You are a cripple now aren¡¯t you.¡± ¡°Hahahaaa..¡± he along with his group of students began to laugh. ¡°.¡­.¡± Lin Shen deadpaned at them. ¡°What are you guys? Some elementary kids? Did you come here to say those C class villain¡¯s lines and laugh. Seriously guys?¡± Xian Meng¡¯s face turned red from embarrassment and anger, but soon calmed himself down. ¡°Lin Shen, I¡¯ll just say this once. Biyu is my women got it. Don¡¯t ever go near her. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Hmm, No. Why would I stop meeting with my friends just because some one said so and when did she even become your women?¡± Xian Meng¡¯s face turned dark and he started to release a pressure to the surrounding with his cultivation of Aura realm. A suffocating feeling spread around him and he directed all the pressure towards Lin Shen. ¡°Don¡¯t think you are same as before. Now you are crippled you will soon lose your right to inherit the Lin family fortune. Without the backing of Lin family a mere body refining cultivator has no right to argue with me.¡± Lin Shen frowned and waved his hand. A terrifying pressure several magnitudes higher than the previous one crashed into Xian Meng causing him to slam into the table. An absolute suppression of levels possible only for for those of core formation level or higher descended upon him. Under the pressure blood started to trickle from his nose and mouth. ¡°That¡¯s enough uncle yei.¡± Then suddenly that pressure disappeared. He looked at the pale faced Xian Ming. ¡°I don¡¯t know why you got a such stupid idea, but as I don¡¯t like meaningless fights I¡¯ll say this once. The truth is that no matter how talented you are, you are just a branch family member with a good potential. Your current cultivation doesn¡¯t amount to any thing. Till you reach your full potential you are not worth much. But currently I¡¯m the only hair to my Lin family. My Lin family and Xia family both had a very close relationship for generations. No one from the Xia family is stupid enough to break those ties for a mere aura realm cultivator.¡± He walked towards the pale Xian Ming and patted his shoulder saying, ¡°I don¡¯t know whether someone talked you into doing this or you are just naturally that stupid, but take my advice and run away got it?¡± Xian Ming went backward so fast that he fell from the chair. Then he ran away along with his group of lackeys out of the cafeteria. ¡°Young master are you all right?¡± an old man appeared beside Lin Shen. ¡°Haa.., I don¡¯t enjoy playing the bad guy but that idiot acted too rashly. I wonder why? I feel some thing fishy here.¡± ¡°Well it¡¯s all right uncle Yei. You can go back.¡± ¡°As you wish!¡± old man then disappeared. ¡°Brother Shen, did something happen? Why are there people running out from the canteen and why do all these people looking at this way?¡± ¡°Aha Biyu, You finally came.¡± he looked up to see Biyu looking at him with a strange expression. ¡°Well few things happened. Don¡¯t worry about it. Let¡¯s eat.¡±

At a corner of the cafeteria a person was looking at the whole scene from the beginning. ¡°Hmm¡­, It seams that trash still has some influence. This will complicate some things. Well no matter, end result won¡¯t change.¡±

After school was over, Lin Shen immediately returned to his home and cleaned up before going to the bed while wearing the link in his hand. After lying on the bed he started the link to connect to the world of Asgurd. When he opened his eyes he was back at the town centre of Risenburg. ¡°I finished one of the quests didn¡¯t I. Let¡¯s see,¡± Current Quests Goblin subjugation - 1140/10(Completed) Wolf Pellet collection - 0/5 ¡°Oh I have killed a quiet a lot of goblins yesterday it seems. Well let¡¯s take this reward and change to a better set of clothes. I look like a complete newbie wearing these clothes.¡± After reaching the quest board a notification appeared. ¡°Quest Goblin subjugationis completed. Due to the quest limit of 1000 kills per player, rewards for only 1000 kills will be given. The player has completed the hidden quest by killing the Hobgoblin living in the goblin den. Additional rewards will be given for that.¡± Reward : 10 Exp, 1*1000 iron coins Bones Reward : 1 Silver coin. ¡°I have two silver coins in total now. Let¡¯s go out for some shopping!¡± Exceeding limit ¡°I have two silver coins in total now. Let¡¯s go out for some shopping!¡±

He walked around the town a bit and asked from the players from where he could purchase clothes. He was directed towards a shop called ¡°Tom¡¯s leather works.¡± Most of the players recommended the shop as the best place to buy clothings for rookies. Inside, the shop was filled with various cupboards with different products. There¡¯s a middle aged man on the reception desk. He ask, ¡°What can I do for you dear customer?¡± ¡°Can I look at the clothes you have?¡± Lin Shen asked. ¡°Sure¡± and he went into the cupboard to retrieve some clothes. After bringing four sets of clothing, he laid them on the desk for me to inspect. Low quality leather clothing : (Defence +5)(Durability : 10/10)(Price : 7 copper) Medium quality leather clothing : (Defence +7)(Health : +50)(Durability : 15/15)(Price : 1 silver) High quality leather clothing : (Defence +10)(Health : +150)(Durability : 20/20)(Price : 35 silver) Rare leather jacket: (Defence +25)(Skill : heal +5HP/minute)(Durability : 20/20)(Level requirement : Lvl 10)(Quest reward) ¡°Other than the last one others are completely useless. With my current attack, low level monsters are just cannon fodder. And that weird skill I have only works with 2 star or higher monsters. Fighting against those guys even a +10 defence won¡¯t make much of a difference.¡± ¡°Oi old man, how much is that last one.¡± ¡°Sorry kiddo, this is not for sale.Butif you can bring me a fang from that white wolf living in the northern forest, then I¡¯ll gift it to you.¡± Fang of the white wolf
  1. Go to the northern forest area outside the town.
  2. There you will find a ferocious white wolf. When killed you will receive a wolf fang among the loots. Tom is looking forward to craft some high quality equipments using the fang.
  3. Return back to the Tom¡¯s leather works shop to receive the reward.
Rewards : 1000 XP, Rare leather jacket. ¡°Do you accept this quest?¡± ¡°Accept¡± Current Quests Wolf Pellet collection - 0/5 Fang of the white wolf - 0/1 Similar to before he received a scroll containing the location of the white wolf. It was in the same place as the wolf subjugation quest. ¡°White wolfs ha, If I remember correctly I already met them in that dungeon. In fact it was the first monster I actually killed. It¡¯s a pity I didn¡¯t get any loots due to that dungeon¡¯s rules.¡± ¡°Old man, are there any other kinds of accessories beside these clothes.¡±Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. ¡°I do have some other accessories but your level is too low for them right now. Come back after reaching level 10.¡± ¡°Sure I¡¯ll be back. See you later¡­¡± After leaving the shop he went towards a large white building labelled ¡°Alchemists association¡±. It was clearly one of the largest buildings in the town along with another building labelled ¡°inscriptionist association¡±. Those two buildings sat at opposite sides of the town each occupying a large area for themselves. Unlike other shops there¡¯s a constant stream of people were coming in and out of the building. After entering into the building, he saw five different counters with different labels on top of them. They were ¡®Elixirs¡¯, ¡®Potions¡¯, ¡®Pills¡¯, ¡®Poisons¡¯ and ¡®Miscellaneous¡¯. Each of them having different effects. When he went to Potion¡¯s section and looked at the content, Potions.

My lightning step directly depends on Mana any way.¡± After purchasing the Elixir from the counter, his balance reaching Zero. ¡°Today I should finish those quests and grind till I reach my first class up.¡± Determined, hewalked out towards the quest area.

In the forest he bypassed the goblin infested area and moved deeper in to the forest to reach the wolf infested area. There are not many people farming monsters in this area as it¡¯s relatively far away from the town. When he went deeper in to the wolf territory, more and more wolfs began to attack him. After casually killing those attacking wolfs, he finally reached the wolf den. When he went near the cave he saw a large group of people coming towards the cave together. All of them are wearing full body leather outfits. One who seem to be the leader is wearing an iron mail armor on the top. There are about 50 to 60 people in that group. ¡°Are they doing some kind of quest. Che, I came at a worst possible time.¡± He saw some other players stopped what they were doing to watch that huge party moving towards the den. He went near one of them and asked him, ¡°Hey, What¡¯s going on? What¡¯s with the huge party?¡± ¡°Oh weren¡¯t you aware. That guy, ¡®Michael Lewis¡¯ got his hand on a guild token. Actually that token was first obtained by a girl called Xia Rin. After system announced that quest for guild creation has started, that guy came out of nowhere and somehow ambushed her. Her whole party was killed and that guy took the guild token. Now he is the number 1 in the world ranking.¡± ¡°Is that so? Thanks for telling me¡± Lin Shen said and walk away with a frown. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Lewis family is from America. Michael is the young master of the Lewis family. He shouldn''t be here on Chinese servers. Where are Xia family reinforcements. Some thing is going on behind this and I don¡¯t like it.¡± ¡°No matter what I can¡¯t let them go free without doing anything after what they did to little Rin.¡± He went outside where players have gathered and hid behind a tree. After looking around to confirm that no one is looking at him, he crouched and drew his sword into a familiar stance. It was the 3rd stance of the flowing water blade technique. He calmed his mind and looked towards the large group entering the cave. He activated the over boost and then the lightning step, allocating remaining 620 points to it raising his movement up to an crazy value of 124000. Then he ¡®Moved¡¯. At first he was there crouching behind the tree and in the next instant he was in the middle of the group cutting them down thousands of times in a single second. There wasn¡¯t any kind of warning for what happened. They were just about to enter the cave and then in a fraction of a second the entire group turned to a bloody mist.

While every one was panicking Lin Shen was back at the starting town as a spectre. ¡°Player Lin shen has used a skill exceeding his current capacity. His body has been destroyed due to the skill. Due to over exceeding the physical limit reviving will be delayed by 72 hours.¡± ¡°Player Lin shen has used a skill exceeding his current capacity. Due to over exceeding the current skill limit, skill ¡®lightning step¡¯ will be locked for 240 hours.¡± ¡°Due to extreme use all your current equipments have been destroyed. Since player doesn¡¯t have any equipment with him currently and has no money on him, ¡®Mana Elixir (Lvl 2)¡¯ will be converted to half the market price of 1 silver. 1 copper coin will be deducted for one set of starting clothes.¡± ¡°.¡­.¡± ¡°What the hell?, this is totally unfair. If there are such restrictions, just say it at the beginning. This is bullshit. It¡¯s totally not worth all this just to teach those idiots a lesson.¡± ¡°I demand a manual dam it¡­¡± Unsuspected reward ¡°I demand a manual dam it¡­¡±

¡°Aha.. this sucks. Let¡¯s log out for now.¡± When he logged out he sensed something weird. He was no longer lying on the bed but on the floor. He was lying on some kind of dust. When he looked around, he saw that it was his bed that has turned to dust. His clothes have also turned in to dust leaving him naked as the day he was born. He felt something on his hand and saw the Link in his hand emitting a large amount of ether. ¡°This¡­, What happened here? It cant be¡­¡± He looked at the potted plant he kept by the window. His face turned pale seeing that the entire plant has withered away. ¡°No no no¡­, this can¡¯t be happening now! My curse has not acted for last two years.¡± When he started to hyperventilate due to panic he noticed something that made him calm down. ¡°I¡¯m not absorbing life energy any more.¡± he concentrated and felt his energy flow. His meridians are still at the sealed state. There are no abnormal energy flow. He frowned his eyes thinking a bit and then walked towards the balcony. It was still evening and there are people outside. He calmed himself down and become one with the concept of wind. He could feel everything in several hundred meter radius. After checking that no one was looking he jumped down from the balcony on to a nearby tree and touched it with his bare hand. Nothing happened to the tree. ¡°Aha, that¡¯s a relief.¡± He smiled and jumped back to the balcony and went inside the room to get changed.

¡°What could have caused this? Is this because because what I did in the game? I should probably log in for a minute and check.¡± He sat on the floor in lotus position and logged in to the game. ¡°Player Lin Shen will revive in 71 hours 14 minutes.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s check my status for any problem.¡± Level : 5 (64/350) Pet Level : 9(64/1060) Class : Lightning god (Divine) Title : divine rookie (+10additional attribute points will be given with every level up.)

Holy shit! That¡¯s a lot of zeros. My attack has already passed ten thousand!!. This is crazy¡± ¡°I take everything back. It¡¯s totally worth it¡± ¡°But what the hell happened? My level has not dropped either. No perhaps it has gone up due to killing all those high level players and dropped back down. That stupid lightning ball has levelled up any way. How the hell my attack sky rocketed just now. Is it because that weird skill absorbed those players base attack values. I can¡¯t even be suer whether that skill is there. It¡¯s not even shown in my status screen. From what I remember only two stars or higher monsters will trigger the skill. There was no mentioning about players. I should check it after this penalty is over.¡± ¡°This is definitely related to my outbreak of curse in real life. I should discuss this with my grand father.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s log off for now.¡±

¡°So you are suspecting that your curse has turned into a skill. Hmm.. from what you described to me it seems to be the case, though in bit different form.¡± ¡°Yes grandfather.¡± ¡°No matter, keep this a top secret. Don¡¯t tell anyone. To normal people Asgurd may be just another game, but its a much grander project where even we, who are major contributors towards its development do not completely understand yet.¡± ¡°Little Shen, you don¡¯t have to worry about any outside interference. What most people don¡¯t know is that Asgurd game cannot be interfered by outside at all. There are no authorities or game masters. Only players. Every one has equal access level to the slate through Asgurd. So be the strongest in Asgurd child. I know you can do it. In the near future Asgurd¡¯s importance wont be any less than that of real life. Got it¡± ¡°I understand that grandpa. I¡¯ll make you proud.¡± ¡°Your parents should be returning in few weeks. They would be incredibly proud of you.¡± ¡°After your penalty is over we¡¯ll test the limits of your hidden skill.¡± ¡°Thank you grandpa, Then I¡¯ll be leaving now.¡±

During this time a legend has spread all across the Asgurd about a wolf god. It said that due to a group of players angering the guardian dainty of a wolf cave when they tried to raid it, the godmaterialized and butchered them completly in an instance. There were some people who managed to record the incident and when they looked at those recordings all they could see was that, in one second a large group of players are chatting and laughing and in the next second they had turned into a bloody mist. Even when the experts tried to check these video''s frame by frame, all they could observe was a blur appearing in their midst for a split second. Every one has concluded that this was an attack of an extremely high level NPC. All those players who participated that day lost a level and dropped from world rankings. Guild token was recovered later by Xia family reinforcement which arrived at the area after the incident. This incident was recorded in the history of Asgurd as the calamity of red mist where about 60 high level players died without even knowing why.

¡°Well it seems I got some free time for now. I¡¯ll go and see what little Rin is up to.¡± Drawbacks and improvements It was three days after that incident. ¡°Finally, I can play normally again. I¡¯m pretty far behind others in my level. I must raise my level at least up to level 10 today. That brat was nagging me non stop for past few days because I couldn¡¯t join her guild. You need to be at least level 10 to join a guild officially.¡± After logging in, he appeared at the familiar town centre. When he materialized he checked his avatar. His body is feeling really weird, like a balloon filled to brim with water and could burst with a slightest vibration. His body is overflowing with immeasurable energy like he he had never sensed before. He lightly swing his hand towards the ground and a ripple of force erupted from his hand and slammed to the ground cracking it sending small quakes through out the town as if a small scale earth quake occurred. He gulped, nervously looking around to see no one was near and quickly ran away. ¡°That was close. Dam is this the effect of increasing my attack? My strength hasn¡¯t increased at all.¡± When he saw his HP bar his blood ran cold. HP : 12/250 (5/minute) ¡°My HP dropped! Why? I just got in here.¡± He widened his eyes when an idea hit him. ¡°Is this because¡­¡± He went into a deserted ally in the town and crouched down while concentrating on his energy and tapped the ground gently releasing some of it. Ground instantly cracked as if it was hit by a 10 ton hammer. HP : 10/250 (5/minute) ¡°Gulp¡­¡± ¡°This is really dangerous. It seams since my strength has not increased proportional to my base attack my body can¡¯t handle the stain. I thought Attack value was just a number. What¡¯s with this uselessly realistic system. Just make it simple you know. It¡¯s less work for everyone.¡± ¡°Haa.. whatever, I need to get used to this energy. I¡¯ll complete those quests while I¡¯m at it.¡± After resting near the city fountain where recovery rate for HP and MP doubled till he was fully recovered, he went to the place where wolfs den is. When he got there, that place was completely deserted. What he didn¡¯t know was that after the calamity of red mist no player dared to come near the wolfs den fearing the rumoured dainty. The first time he attacked a monster, it was instantly turned to a bloody mist. Even the monsters behind it turned to dust. His HP almost got reduced by a half. After resting a bit he once again fought against a monster trying to control his attack and once again got rewarded with a bloody mist and some reduced HP. It was night time when he finally learned to somewhat control his strength. ¡°Let¡¯s go kill that useless mutt and finish the quest.¡±

After walking through the cave for some time he finally met the white wolf. White Wolf(***) Level : 48 Strength : 560 Agility: 120 Intelligence : 40 HP : 28000 (560/minute) MP : 400 (40/minute)If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent.

There are dozens of other wolfs around the white wolf guarding it. ¡°Well let¡¯s end this¡± and he waved his hand towards the white wolf sending an Ice barrage towards it. ¡°.¡­.¡± Nothing happened. ¡°What the, ¡®Ice barrage¡¯¡­¡± he waved his hand several times but nothing happened at all. He saw his MP getting reduced by 20 each time but nothing happened. When he saw that wolfs are starting to get up he quickly ran away. After leaving the den, he tried to figure out what had happened. He used the skill one more time and tried to sense the Mana flow. Though here in the world of Asgurd there are no natural laws, he had been able to sense something similar to a faint echo of them when he concentrated really hard. Though Mana is a completely different from qi without any kind of life in it, he could vaguely sense that his Mana is trying to touch some kind of natural concept but failing from the strain. He tried the skill again and this time he actively feed Mana along his dissipating Mana to continue its task. After some time five small icicles formed around him slowly and when his Mana ran dry they shattered. ¡°Player Lin Shen modified an existing skill to match his current attributes. He is the first person to do so. Hidden attribute fame +5000.¡± When he looked at the skill Ice barrage, Extra Skill (1/5) : Ice barrage (F) - (Project 5 ice shards towards the enemy)(Damage : Atk*100% per shard)(Cool down : 20s)(MP : Atk*1%per shard)(Lvl : 1/1) ¡°Well at least now I can kill that stupid mutt.¡± After resting, he reached the boss area again walked towards those sleeping monsters. When he came near wolfs started to get up and looked towards him. All the wolfs started to growl at him and got ready to pounce at him. He stopped when he came some what near them and he drew his hand back and punched the air. Suddenly his arm shattered and a ripple of power blasted outwards striking all the wolfs including the white wolf. Most of the wolfs died on the spot and rest along with the white wolf got blasted away. At that instant he waved his arm sending an Ice barrage which got spread outward like a corn from his hand and three of the five shards collided with the wolf ding a massive damage over 30 000 instantly killing it. As soon as he collected the fang, without waiting for those wolfs who didn¡¯t die to recover, he fled away from the cave without even looking at the other loots. ¡°Whew, that was really close.¡± He looked at his remaining HP. HP : 1/500 (10/minute) ¡°Oh I levelled up.¡± ¡°Due to player Lin Shen having a divine tier unique class he cannot class up at this level.¡± ¡°After reaching level 10 class skill ¡®Lightning step¡¯ become level 2.¡± ¡°After reaching level 10 extra skill ¡®Over boost¡¯ become level 2.¡± ¡°Well my skills levelled up but I didn¡¯t get the attribute double due to class up it seams.

Other than wolf pellets, he found a ring. ¡°Ring of regeneration : +50HP per minute (Lvl 10)¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go and redeem those rewards for the quests.¡± Current Quests Wolf Pellet collection - 1089/5 Fang of the white wolf - 1/1

After he came back to the town he first went towards the quest board. There he got 2 silver coins as a reward. Then he went to the Tom¡¯s leather shop to give the wolf fang. ¡°Oi old man here¡¯s the fang.¡± ¡°Oh! You actually managed to kill that wolf. Very impressive indeed.¡± He took the fang and gave the leather jacket in exchange. ¡°Here¡¯s your reward.¡± ¡°Hey kiddo, since you are pretty capable can you do some tasks for me?¡± Tom asked from him. ¡°Due to player Lin Shen¡¯s hidden atribute fame exceed 20000, you have triggered a hidden quest¡± ¡°Do you accept the B rank serial quest ¡®A gift to the prince¡¯.¡± He froze for a few seconds and smiled. ¡°Yes, Why don¡¯t you tell me about this request of yours in detail.¡± B class quest (1) ¡°Yes, Why don¡¯t you tell me about this request of yours in detail.¡±

¡°B rank quest during this early game. If any one knew about this there would be a blood bath.¡± ¡°You see kiddo, prince Raphael of the Ming empire is having his coronation in a two weeks. Our town also need to send a congratulation gift to his highness. We have decided to craft a hidden dagger as a gift using the white wolf fang as a base. At first we posted a quest for you adventures to get the quest materials in exchange for a plot of land from the town. A group accepted it but they dropped it mid way. So kiddo, can you help us this time?¡± ¡°Oh that¡¯s what those guys were trying to do. Nice timing!¡± ¡°Sure I¡¯ll accept your request. So what other things I need to collect?¡± ¡°There are few things. A piece of skin from the guardian turtle in the southern forest, some sap from an elder Ent and a piece of crystal hearts from a fire golem.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you a map with their general locations marked in it. Bring all those materials within next two days,got it.¡± ¡°Yeahold man, I¡¯ll do it.¡± after bidding farewell to Tom, he logged off for the day. After logging out he sat on his new bed in a lotus position and meditated. Emptying his mind he concentrated on the feeling he had when he mutated his skill. Suddenly temperature starts to drop down around him and a thin sheet of ice started to spread on the bed sheet. ¡°Haaa¡­¡± He gently exhaled existing from his meditative trance. ¡°What¡¯s going on in the Asgurd. Echoes of the concept of frost in the game were real. Though that skill Ice barrage was really inefficient. It only use a trace amount of concept energy and create ice with just brute force.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t heard any thing like this from others. Well what ever, so far there¡¯s nothing disadvantageous happened to me.¡±

Next day school has just ended and while he was walking towards his car which came to pick him up, his instincts suddenly screamed and he lifted his palm in front of his face creating a whirlpool of Qi embedded with the concept of wind. A shock wave erupted from the palm as something collided with the Qi and two things went past his head either side nearly touching his years. Guards surrounding him were blasted away due to the sonic boom created by those objects and shock wave produced after they collided with the floor and his palm. As soon as the shock wave ended, a figure appeared beside him covering him within his aura protectively. ¡°Young master are you all right?¡± Lin Yei asked. ¡°Hmm.., I¡¯m a little dizzy for now.¡± He opened his bloodied palm to show a bullet covered with a fluctuating aura. ¡°Lets get on the car and move to the Lin mansion.¡± ¡°This aura, at least a gold core cultivator. For now let¡¯s first take the young master to safety first.¡±

¡°What!, Some one dared to assault little Shen in broad day light. How is he now?¡± ¡°He¡¯s surprisingly OK despite the ordeal. Luckily he had mastered the wind concept it seems.¡± ¡°Seriously that brat is a down right monster. He has already mastered 2 concepts already.¡± ¡°Investigate this thoroughly. Capture the culprit no matter the cost. It seems some people have forgotten our Lin familie¡¯s power.

Might as well finish that B class quest¡± After logging on, he looked at the the map he was given. ¡°It seems all three items can be obtained in the southern forest. Let¡¯s go there.¡± ¡°Aha before that little Rin said that she has set up her guild already. Let¡¯s see¡­¡± Guild rankings

After moving for a while he arrived at the first location marked at the map. The guardian turtle.

At that time I could only run away.¡± Lin Shen walked towards the huge turtle confidently. It looked at this human and opened it¡¯s mouth to fire a water blast. Then suddenly Lin shen appeared in front of the turtle. With his movement of 25 against this turtle¡¯s agility of 1, it didn¡¯t even see when it was attacked with enough force to burst it in to pieces. HP : 1980/2550 ¡°I levelled up again.¡± After killing it he picked up a piece of green leather which remained behind as a loot. Current Quests A gift to the prince

¡°Next one is the elder Ent.¡± After recovering his health he went to the next destination. After reaching the the destination he saw nothing out of ordinary. It was just another ordinary section of forest. Suddenly some thing pricked at his feet. Then his HP started to drop at an alarming rate. ¡°-100 HP¡± ¡°-100 HP¡± ¡°-100 HP¡± Without any other choice he slammed his hand downwards with all of his strength destroying the entire section of forest. There he saw a small plant with vines covering it to protect it from the shock wave.

Let¡¯s finish this.¡± After reaching the place marked as the fire golem¡¯s area, he saw a large lava pool in the middle of the forest. Entire area near the pool is barren devoid of any life. From afar he saw few fire golems moving around aimlessly. Fire Golem (*) Level : 48 Strength : 200 Agility: 10 Intelligence : 30 HP : 10000 (200/minute) MP : 10 (1/minute) Attack : 200 Defence : 500 Movement : 10 Skill 1 : Flame aura (H) - (+5 fire damage per second)(Range : 50 m) He waved his hand sending an Ice barrage towards the group of golems.

After receiving the fang from Tom, he went towards the inscriptionist association. Just like the alchemists association, it is a huge building occupying a large area. After entering the building he saw hundreds of weapons lined neatly on the racks. There are two sections in the building. They were Forging section and the Enhancing section. Each section has three counters each labelled weapons, equipments and talismans. He went into the nearest counter and asked from the reception, ¡°Where can I find Mr. Daile.¡± ¡°Are you looking for lord shimura Daile. Do you have an appointment.¡± ¡°No but I¡¯m running an errand for the shopkeeper Tom. He asked me to deliver this fang to lord Daile.¡± ¡°Is that so, please wait a minute. I¡¯ll go and notify the lord.¡± then the receptionist left inside the building. After few minutes a middle aged man came in to the view. He was little short with a moustache growing on his face. ¡°So you have the white wolfs fang?¡± ¡°Yes¡± ¡°Let me see¡­, So Tom already treated this fang it seems.¡± ¡°Aha, he also said that he¡¯s going to make the sheath.¡± ¡°Is that so?

This town is not much different compared to the Risenburg town at a single glance, though its several times larger than the previous one. Unlike the Risenburg town, there¡¯s a large city wall mounted with several ballistics and catapults which could be seen even from the town centre. When he looked around, he saw a large number of high level players walking around the streets. All of them have at least done their first class advancement. There are even some who completed their 2ndclass advancements like paladins and healers. ¡°I¡¯m really behind in terms of level haa¡­ Let¡¯s check world rankings.

¡°She has fallen to rank 4 ha. It¡¯s probably because she was killed once.¡± ¡°What ever, let¡¯s hunt some spirits.¡±

After going out of the city he reached the forest outside. Unlike in the previous city there were lot of high level monsters along the way and those monsters were mostly hunted in parties. It was after another half an hour of walking did he finally reached the destination marked in the map. At that location there was a clearing with a formation inscribed on it. Several players could be seen flashing in and out of the formation. When he entered the formation an announcement was made to him. ¡°This is a passageway to five minor spirit domains belonging to each element. Which domain do you wish to go? Earth, Fire, Water, Wind or Lightning.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the fire one first.¡± ¡°Fire¡± Then he was suddenly teleported to another location. He materialized near a volcano. Air around him is extremely hot. When he looked around he saw some red balls of light floating around. They were just like his pet but with a different colour.

Except for ice barrage, I don¡¯t have any non physical attack. I don¡¯t have much Mana and I can¡¯t reduce the attack power of those icicles. It would be a total waste of Mana using it on these low health monsters.¡± ¡°Hmm, I wonder if this would work.¡± He went towards the nearest fire spirit, avoiding any fire blasts coming towards him. Then he leaped towards the spirit and attacked to the air in front of it with his full strength. A ripple of power shot out from his hand towards the spirit hitting it dead on. Due to the power behind the attack, the spirit was blasted back and died, turning into a flame. Fire spirits killed - (1/1000) After his attack dozens of fire spirits started to gather towards his place. ¡°Haa, it still reduce my HP every time I attack. This will take a very long time indeed.¡±
