ã€ŠUprising birth of a god (hiatus)ã€‹ Chapter 1 - Demi-Godhood Ding!

Congratulations. You are the first player to max out every skill and sub-skills level that you can for all the basic combat classes.

You are the first player to unlock the option to be reborn this way, would you like to be reborn? As the first player to be reborn this way, you will get to permanently keep five non-combat skills you currently have but they will be reset to level one together with your stats and level.

As the first player to be reborn this way, as a bonus, would you like to be reborn as demigod (hidden) in addition to you the race that you will select? Would you like to show the world the perquisites to achieve this?

As a demigod, you get to slightly influence the world around you. However it will cost you faith to do so. Your demi-godhood abilities will unlock as you level up.

Warning! Do not get discovered by Gods of other alignments, they will send their apostles to hunt you down to strip you of your demi-godhood permanently.

After so many prompt asking if I want to be reborn finally I have achieved a reborn that no one has discovered in [Uprising] to achieve a demigod bonus. Yes!

[Uprising] With the advent of VRMMORPG, game developers were in a mad rush to develop games that would capture people''s attention. Five years into the age of VRMMORPG, [Uprising] captured the world with its rebirth and a chance for godhood. To achieve a rebirth, you have to achieve a hidden number of perquisite and it will prompt you for a chance to be reborn. Each rebirth will unlock you a higher tier job or rank or a hidden bonus. One month into the game the first rebirth occurred. A player unlocked the prerequisite to a new race. 6 months into the game another player unlocked the prerequisite to be reborn into a nobility. Hidden classes soon started appearing but the elusive godhood has yet to be heard.

[Uprising]please select the skills you would like to keep

hmm... I have played all the combat classes for the past 2 years to achieve this reborn. Maybe I should go for a different route this time. Let¡¯s see... I should play a crafting class. But among all the crafting class the fastest to godhood seems to be cooking. As the saying goes: the fastest way to a man''s heart is through his stomach. I guess I will pick skills that I can use for cooking not in the cooking class So I guess I select Dual Wield (passive), speed boost (active), mana manipulation (passive), vision (passive) and Tame (active) Race: human

You will be reborn in 5 4 3 2 1 . . .

*slowly opens the eye* ???:"You are finally awake! What happened to you? I found you collapsed on the roadside in the outskirts of this small village of Birchwood. " Marcus:¡± Where am I and who are you?" ???:"My house. And I am Rowell the woodcutter." Marcus:" Thank you for bringing me to your house. I am Marcus. I would like to thank you with a ... Sorry do you know where my belongings are? Rowell:¡± What belongings? When I saw you what u are wearing now is all that you had. Seems like you got robbed and thrown on the roadside." *Looks like I lost all my equipment and cash as well when I performed the rebirth* Marcus:¡± Rowell. Seems like that is the case. But I would still like to thank you. Is there anything I can do to help?" Rowell:¡± it is nothing much but if you do not mind, I do have a something you can do for me." Marcus:" sure I will do it" Rowell:" but I have yet to tell you what it is" Marcus:" it should not be too big a task as I am a stranger to you and you are entrusting it to me." Rowell smiles at the reply and said:" can''t deny that logic. Here is what I want you to do. You see the logs outside the house? Chop them into firewood and deliver them to as many households in this village when I return before sun down if possible. Food is in the kitchen. Eat when you''re tired." Ding!

With 20 min to spare for breaks. And then I realized with some simple math... 1 log= 4 firewood. 25 households = 250 firewood = 82.5 logs Shit. I can waste any more time then. If I include travelling time I have about 30 min to chop 3 logs per min... Time till sundown: 00:04:45:23 Ding you have gain [Axe Mastery]

¡°15 more households left looks like I have some time left since all those that are left are those nearby.¡± Time till sundown: 00:00:00:59 Ahhh... I can see Rowell in the distance now But I guess I am done with all 128 anyway. A min later, Rowell walks over with his wood cutter axe over his shoulder. Rowell:" Hey! How did it go? How many households did you manage to visit?" Marcus:¡± including or excluding your house?" Rowell:" if including?" Marcus:" all 128" *thud* argh! Rowell limps over as the flat of his axe landed on his feet, grabbed my shoulders and stared into my eyes:" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?" Marcus:" Nope. Calm down and have a seat. I will tell you everything and how I did it." Rowell:"..."

That bag of yours can carry all those wood without the space constraints and the weight is only 1/10 of its original weight and thanks to magic u can run faster and longer than the horses. Scary scary I can''t imagine it but I am impressed. " "I assumed that you would have been only able to finish up to 60 household when I first saw you. I can''t believe you actually managed to even deliver them to those on the other side of the village. At my fastest I still need at least 8 hours of daylight to chop and deliver them all." "You have more than paid me back for what I did for you. Here. Let me pay you back for all that effort you have made" Ding!

The 3% movement speed sure came as a surprise for an F Rank quest. Marcus:" Rowell can I ask you where can I learn to cook? I did not see any cooking guild as I was going about" Rowell:" we do not have a cooking guild but we do have someone who teaches cooking in our village. She is mayor''s wife. She is the best cook in the village and will be more than happy to teach you. You are new here in our village and the mayor may not trust you with his wife. I will vouch for you so take this letter to the mayor Fredric and he should allow her to teach you cooking Quest Description : Bring the letter to the mayor Fredric Quest difficulty: F Reward: Meet the mayor''s wife and a chance to learn to cook Failure: Do you accept? Y/N Thank you I will do that Ding! *You have accepted the quest* "hahahahahahahaha!!! Tell me what happened! This letter does not do it justice. Oh Sofia! Come over to the main hall! I am sure you will want to hear this as well!" Moments later, a graceful lady appears from a curtained door by the side and looks at the mayor:" you called?" Mayor Fredric:" come sit with me and listen to his tale. I am sure you have heard a part of the story by now" Sophia" so he is the much talked about handsome deliveryman" *women''s'' gossip network sure is fast. It is barely a day and everyone is talking about me already* As Sofia got seated Marcus:¡± shall I begin?" Mayor Fredric:¡± You may begin" And with that I once again told my story and how Rowell reacted to it. At the end of the tale the mayor was laughing heartily while his wife can be seen clutching her sides while smiling *was the tale really that funny? Must be just them I did not remember seeing any NPC act like this* After taking a moment to compose themselves the mayor explained. "Rowell is the most stoic and most strict man in our village. For him to lose his composure would really be an eye opener for anyone in our village. This may just be the chance to soften him up among the ladies. He is not getting any younger already. Sofia. You know what to do." A twinkle between the two pair of eyes told me this is not the first time they have done this! Mayor Fredric:" Sofia, Marcus would like to learn from you how to cook. Would you mind teaching him the ropes?" Sofia:" my pleasure to teach someone like Marcus who brought us such good news" I shuddered for Rowell as I heard this. I hope you get a good match from this I silently prayed. Quest Description : Bring the letter to the Mayor Fredric (II) Learn from the Mayor''s wife how to cook Quest difficulty: F Reward: [Chef] class Marcus: "When can we start?" Sofia:" Now is fine for me. You seem to be the one in a rush considering how fast you completed his task. " I gave an awkward smile and followed her to the kitchen. Sofia:¡± Try again. It is starting to be burnt" Sofia:¡± Again. You put sugar instead of salt" Sofia:¡± Why did you put so much oil? Are you trying to make people have high cholesterol? " Sofia:" The meat is too big! Are you trying to choke someone to death?" Sofia:¡± For the same single dish how many times must you want to screw up?" Sofia:" Observe carefully and note at the points you went wrong." *Damn it is hard to cook without system assist* ===Earlier=== Sofia:" I know you travelers have the god-guided ability for many skills but for now when I am teaching you to cook you are not allowed to use it for cooking." Marcus:" Why not?" Sofia:" Cooking is not just to fill the stomach. It is also there to fill the soul." Sofia walks over to the table and picks up an apple and starts to cut all of it and carve a third of it. She then puts all of the sliced apples on a plate and the carved slices that now looks like bunnies on another plate. Sofia:" Look at it this way, which will you eat? Which one would you FEEL HAPPY when you eat?" I was at lost for words. If it is the usual me I would have taken the sliced apples without thinking. To me food had always been just food. You eat it just to raise satiety and give temporary buffs. I simply ate because I need to and have to. I looked at Sofia and said:" thank you. You have humbled me and my naive thinking. Food can evoke emotions in people. Be it joy or sadness, anger or calmness by changing how to food looks and taste we can bring about a different aspect of people" Sofia:" Good. I finally see the light in your eyes. I can now see the soul of a true chef starting to bud in you. However, you must also always remember. Food can bring out both the good and bad in people. Observe carefully and learn how to cook this dish After failing over 50 dishes Sofia:" this one seems perfect. Now just let me try it." Ding! You have created [Stir-Fried Chicken] Sofia:" Hmm looks like you can finally pass with this dish.

It is efficient but soulless. They will do well and be recognized in due time but they will never be legendary in their cooking abilities. They will only be at the level of grandmaster at best" Marcus:" Wait! You you mean beyond grandmaster there is still legendary!!!" The current game tiers goes like this Beginner < Intermediate < Expert < Master < Grandmaster Sofia:" Why of course! Anyone can be a grandmaster for anything with enough time and training. However, not everyone can be legendary. For a chef''s skill to be legendary, the food you cook must be so great that you can even stop wars. Not only that, you have to carry many titles related to cooking. Come to think of it, there is this legend passed down between cooking guild head grandmaster chefs, the first head grandmaster''s cooking was at such a high level that a God come and eat his cooking and took him away." Ding! You have discovered a hidden tier of expertise +20 LUK +500 Fame Would you like this to be updated for all other travelers? (+20000 Fame) (Y/N) *YES* Marcus *Hmm it is better for everyone to know about this. It won¡¯t be easy to gain the legendary tier anyway. Better to let them know early. Come to think of it, if a God came and took him away, it might possibly mean even NPC can reborn too if they meet the prerequisites as well* Marcus:" Was there in the past where the greatest warrior receive a challenge from a God and taken away as well?" Sofia:" Why yes! How did you know? Our great king Arthur was a warrior who united this continent 500 years ago. On his coronation day he was challenged by a God and he won. God allowed him to stay for another 50 years so that he could establish his kingdom because he won." Ding! For uncovering a secret about the NPC also being able to perform rebirth. Would you like to share it with the other travelers? (Fame +10000) (Y/N) *Yes* ---All over the game world--- ¡°Grandmaster is not the end? I have been at grandmaster for so long! What am I missing?" "Even NPC can perform rebirth? How? I have yet to see any NPC disappear like the Players do!" Players rushed to find out about this two new secrets unveiled in the past few minutes. Everyone started to rush back to various NPC to find out how they get to achieve rebirth in hope of finding out a way that other Players have yet to find. None of the NPC could tell them anything about rebirth or about the legendary tier that just came about. No one was able to get any information until someone asked: ¡°Did any person with legendary skills disappear like some travelers do?¡± ¡°That I am not too sure, I am just a XXX you will have to ask a Guild Grandmaster. (S)He will know about it better than me. I just mind my own business.¡± This piece of information then spread like wildfire once again and Players once again started to crowd various Guilds hoping to meet the Guild Grandmaster to find out more. However, not everyone is allowed to meet the Guild Grandmasters. They had to have a good amount of luck or Fame for the Guild Grandmasters to meet them. Little did Marcus know that he just sparked off the first cornerstone to the war that is about to come. For they all heard ''war'', ''legendary'', ''best'' among all the words that were being spread by the players who met the various Guild Grandmasters. --- Marcus --- Marcus:¡± Haha Intuition. Intuition. If a legendary cook can be chosen by a God? How can a warrior not be? I am sure all other professions will have someone similar as well that was chosen by a God.¡± Sofia:¡± That I would not be too sure. I only know about the first Head Grandmaster Chef because I was a Head Grandmaster Chef of the Cooking Guild named [Peking Hen] from the nearby town of [Volute] until I got married to my husband and moved here 8 years ago.¡± Sofia:¡± I suggest you take a trip down to [Volute] so as to gain expertise in your craft and at the same time learn more recipes.¡± also it is best if you can obtain some materials and ingredients so that you are self-sufficient. Ah and before I forget, take these along with you.

It sure helps when the frying pan can attack and also doubles as a shield for parry at time. I need to get a pot soon or i can¡¯t make stew. This hidden class must be made by a perfectionist for a perfectionist. Without the system assist I would have failed more dishes than I can think of. Before the rebirth when I played as a combat class I did not even need to think and all I needed was to put them together and the system assist will do up a decent meal. Now as a chef not only do I have to control the fire, I have to control the size of the ingredients, the amount of seasoning and also the arrangement of food before the dish is complete.On the bright side, by the time I achieve the mastery of Grandmaster tier I would most likely can be a world renown chef in the real world as well... Minus the strength and speed though haha¡± *There should be a cave somewhere up this mountain. just where can it be? it just sucks that the developers chose to hide all the names friend list when you are reborn and cannot add those friends back until 5 days of have pass in real life and that you have to be of a certain distance to them in game so that you can show up in their friendlist and that you have to wait for them to talk to you. The only exception is that you and your friends meet up face to face will they be automatically added back to the list and will prompt you instead. even though it adds a certain amount of realism to the game it sucks when u have to hunt alone all over again until you get to the main towns or meet someone along the way* According to the developers, imagine being reborn, would you know where all your friends are? Are they still alive? Are they going to be able to find out that you are ¡®gone¡¯ from this world and that they would ¡®think¡¯ that you are dead. Waiting for five days in real time and setting a distance is set so that with their ¡®senses¡¯ they detect the reborn you and initiate the contact. After all, you can choose even new race and be reborn to the level of royalties. It would be just weird if a weak random guy comes up to you and say ¡°Hey! Remember me?¡± Sadly being unable to beat that logic, i rushed about different places hoping to find caves as caves are the sole source or rare loot and fame. Show all [Vision] and sub-skills Ding!

Without discerning eye I can¡¯t identify them I need more items!!!! These are at best just magic level only and because they are not identified i cannot wear them!!!! This is just so boring. after killing so many high level mobs these are just moving too slowly already. no challenge already. the only irony is the fact that i can¡¯t move fast as my agility is still too low and I am using mana to compensate and my mana is not regenerating fast enough to match my old speed. With mana regenerating at 27.6 per min it is keeping up with all the skills i am running now. The mana i have now will not last once i gain more combat skills and increase the number of channeling spell i can cast at the same time. Oh look a new shiney! Next! ---- After grinding in the cave for over 6 hours in-game ---- I need to stop talking to myself¡. but there is nothing to do here when is boring ¡ I need Wilson. Right Wilson? See! Even you agreed! Look! Wilson seems like we are at the final door. What riches will I get? Or maybe a pet. If I get a pet then I won¡¯t be so lonely. Don¡¯t you agree Wilson? Look! Boss!

I think I should tame him. He might be able to help me with my cooking. I need to plan carefully. Hey Edward are you willing to work for me? *GLARES* Edward walks over as a pipe appears in his hand. The pipe kept growing larger and larger while Edward starts picking up speed and poises to strike! Time for Plan B! Fight!!! Bring his health lower to increase my chance to taming him. But item! What item would work to tame him? I am sure the item to tame him would be something found in this cave. Think! Think! use all that 50 INT and 69 WIS to think! What could it be? Wait¡ Could it be? The ring! It is not unknown but special! And I am already wearing it! I was wearing it for the 1 armor and totally forgot about it because i can¡¯t see it in my inventory!!! ¡°Hey Edward! Do you recognise this!¡± I lifted my hand wearing that ring and let it glisten for that moment. The kobold froze in its track. Good I guess I am Right! now all i need is the right questions to fill the bar to increase my chances ¡°Do you miss them?¡± ¡°Do you miss those times?¡± ¡±Do you want to create great memories of serving people like them?¡± ¡°Do you want to eat good food?¡± *Edward¡¯s ears perked up* Good! so far so good. ¡°I am a chef, or at least I am training myself to be a better one. Will you join me?¡± The bar that shows my chance of succeeding showed that i needed one last push. But what could it be? The ring? ¡°I will give u the ring if you are willing to join me on my journey.¡± Ding! [Edward Papa Beard] is willing to be your pet if you give him the ring Do you wish to acquire [Edward Papa Beard] as a pet? * YES!!!!* Ding you have obtained Edward Papa Beard Level 1 Race Kobold HP 220 MP 220 ATT 22 - 24 DEF 6 STR 11 INT 11 DEX 11 WIS 11 AGI 11 LUK 11 VIT 11 STA 11 END 11 PER 11 Resistance Arcane 5 Physical 0 Fire 0 Water 0 Lightning 0 Earth 5 Wind 0 Poison 0 Light 0 Dark 0 Skill Sub-Skills type rank Description Haste Active Beginner 1 Run light as a feather!

Replicated Skill level will always be equal to the rank of [Replicate] Hahaha I got myself a housekeeper!! Sweet skills but as usual you need to train it from ground up. Best part is that he can help carry stuff and he is fast. way faster than me if he wants to. I only did not understand why is it that he did not use it when fighting with me? Was it because he did not want to destroy the items in the cave? Who knows sadly. The moment they are tamed they lose all memories of their past life and are reborn with a clean slate. The only thing they keep is the personality (which is the AI module that keeps it alive), the basic character type skills and their level is set back at 1.. Show me what you are made of Edward! Time to head out of the cave and train Edward. Need him and his abilities to be as high as possible. Edward, Replicate skill [Vision - Critical Vision] With the help of such good housekeeper i can¡¯t waste him and his ability! With the skill being added to what i can currently do, it really helps by granting me +20% chance to get monster parts even though the damage bonus does not overlap, i get way better quality materials and that is useful when i am cooking. Better materials means better dishes and that adds to my skill bonus and food effect bonus i can even ask him to use [Mana Sight] when i am resting so that he can gather stuff for me. It would just as funny when i ask him to serve food to others when i ask him to replicate [Heart of a True Chef] him getting the intimacy with NPC will help with delivery quest and grant me more bonuses Edward has just wayyy too many good skills to be exploited the possibilities that i am imagining.Sadly this idea only works after you have reborn and only if you have chosen the [Tamer] class and be reborn with the skill [Tame] and meet this boss and know the secret item for taming. Without the item, just filling the bar would give you chance to get the boss but not the secret skill of the Pet. It would seem that the skill [Replicate] would be the secret skill of this boss and that haste is the typical skill that you will obtain when you get the typical kobold. Other kobold boss may have a secret skill of their own but this one is perfect for me! With better drop rates, it seems more fun to kill pest that litters the forest that is being travelled. High quality pelts started flooding my inventory as we hunted and i started getting rid of low quality ones.

I need to turn the pelts into something useful and they make it cheaper when I provide quality ones in bulk and what I have now is bulk. And bulks of it I have indeed. 400 rabbit pelts, 400 deer pelts, 300 wolf pelts and 200 lizard skins. And those are just the superior ones. I still have my 200 plus assorted normal pelts to be given to the shop so that they can use it to pay off the workmanship cost.it would work since i am giving the a huge amount at the same time and i am sure the shock will come to my benefit. --- In the tannery --- I step up to the counter and asked the young lady who looks to be in her early 20s :¡± Hey can I speak to the one in charge of this place? I have a good something that he is likely to be more than happy to see¡± Jamie:¡¯Hi my name is Jamie and what is it that can interest my father?¡± Marcus:¡± Enough leather to make him happy for an extended amount of time¡± Jamie immediately perks up at the sound of that and tried to pry for more information.¡± how much leather is that¡± The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.Marcus:¡± More than 400 rabbit pelts and that is just a part of it.¡± Jamie¡¯s eyes grew as wide as a dime and I almost could hear the sound of ¡®kaching!¡¯ coming from her head as she stood there for the moment before dashing to the back. Minutes later she came back with a man in his 40s . Carlos:¡°Hi I am Carlos and this is my daughter Jamie. My apologies that she suddenly ran off like that. She tend to like dashing about ever since she was young. ¡° *thud* Carlos:¡± Ouch. Where were we? Right. She said something about 400 rabbit pelt. So can you tell me the full detail? Marcus:¡± i have 400 rabbit pelts, 400 deer pelts, 300 wolf pelts and 200 lizard skins. These are all of superior quality. I would like to convert them all into proper leather. What is the conversion rate of each type of leather can you provide for them and what is your offer? I layed out all that 1300 pieces of pelts and skins across the table and floor as the table ran out of space. Carlos:¡± Tha-tha-that is a large number of leather! How did you get so much of everything? Either way Rabbits are 4:1, deer are 2:1, wolf are 2:1 and lizards are 4:1. and it is 10 copper for each piece of leather and that would be 5000 copper or 50 silver for normal leather and 15 copper for each piece of leather or 75 silvers for superior leather.¡± Marcus:¡± I am a traveler. I traveled from Birchwood and have been killing the entire way here and that is how i got so much skins and pelts with me. and as for why so much of it is superior, i wont tell you. it is my personal secret. how about this, I give you my leather and in exchange you charge me for the price of normal leather.¡± Carlos was lost as he could not tell me anything while looking at the piles of skins and pelts. I opened up a space on the table and placed the remaining 200+ normal pelts that I was still holding on. Marcus:¡± i am giving you these and just think about it. you can surely sell this off for a higher price than just the cost of making them. think about it. 50 over leather free and that i am sure you are skillful enough to make some of these normal pelts into superior leather that you can sell at higher price. just think about it.you can always tell them, it will take it will take a while to turn them all into leather but you are willing to swap them for already completed ones at a higher price. Imagine. 10 copper for a leather that you need to wait and 12 copper for a leather that you will be able to take away immediately. I am very sure most travelers would take the 12 copper option as most traveler are impatient and i am sure you know it. You can mark up even the superior ones and the inferior ones. Think about it. I just gave you a business idea that you can very well use and i am very sure no one else has told you that or has give that much leather to you at one go. I will even tell those people i meet that you are so skillful that you turned my common pelts into quality leather very quickly. i will give you a day to work your magic. i am sure you already have a stock of leather with you that you can swap with me with but i doubt you have enough of each type that i am providing. just think about it. for exchange, 12 copper and if they wait, 10 copper and all you need to do is actually just work as per normal and take out those that you are already done with but just labeled for them when they appear and if they ask for more than what you can provide, just ask them to wait longer.so how about it? Is it a deal?¡± Jamie:¡± YES. Deal. Dad, it is fine to make a loss this time but his idea is worth the loss. we lose out on these 500 leather but we would earn it back in no time. Within a month we would have earned back this loss.¡± Carlos:¡± Since my daughter said so I guess I can¡¯t complain. She is the treasurer of my family. She is better than my wife and I at this.¡± Marcus:¡± then i leave everything here and will be back in a day for them.¡± I got back 100 rabbit soft leather, 200 deer soft leather, 150 wolf medium leather and 50 hard lizard skin i had to part with 50 silvers but i guess it was worth it. considering that i gave over 1500 items and got back 500 much better items in just a day. the people who managed to convert such a large number gained quite a large amount of exp anyway and we both profited. Next stop, tailor. I need a full set of gear for myself. I cant keep using cooking gear for combat and use mana to keep them from breaking. The skill [Mana Manipulation] is more useful than what most people think. Too bad I do not have elemental manipulations if not the synergy is just going to be off the scale. in the 3 More days to possible contact with Alex, Bianca and the others.

Who knows when will the next demigod appear. now for the 800 meat that i have to start generating some faith. i went over to the nearest villager and asked:¡± Hey, where is the place where most of the poor and homeless gather?¡± Villager:¡±lets see, it is ar elms street at the other end of the town. it is quite a nightmare over there ever since the goblins raided the area¡± Ding! Help the villagers Quest Description : Help the villagers Quest difficulty: F Reward: Unknown Failure: Unknown Do you accept ?

Children and elderlies to the front and adults and guardians to the back! There is plenty to go around!¡± setting up 2 set of cooking set and cooking at the same time, one was left to simmer into a meat stew while the other was set to a stir-fry. The stir-fry was made for the people who needed special diet due to various reason while the meat stew was meant for everyone. The response was slow but the sweet aroma slowly wafted out and more and more started coming in. After 2 hours of cooking non-stop everyone were fully fed. guess now is phase 2 of the plans Marcus:¡± Can someone tell me the full story of what happened here?¡± A fit male villager with injuries all over him came over and told the story:¡± They came from the woods to the left over there. We could manage the goblins that came over usually. but this time when they came the crowd came together with more than ten times the amount and some of them were even on wolves. i am quite sure that there were some hobgoblins mixed in as some were taller and darker than the others. all the while while we were fighting there were War drums being sounded and the fight much harder. it seems that even the warchief came out on this assault. we could barely handle them before the town guards came and chase them away. they took almost all the women who were hiding in the houses while the men were fighting. Please save them! my wife and daughter were both taken by them.¡± Ding Quest updated Quest Description : Help the villagers Number of villagers captured: 22 Quest difficulty: E Reward: Unknown Failure: Unknown Looks like i can¡¯t even reject this. Marcus:¡± I will do my best.¡± As I walked amongst the injured while heading towards the den of the goblins, I gave encouragement and promised each who have someone taken that I will do my best and bring them back. It took a while to find the den but after walking around the woods for over an hour i finally saw patrol unit of 5 goblins doing their rounds. Goblin Scout Level 28 Race Goblin HP 1220 MP 1952 ATT 188 - 196 DEF 117 Following them i finally found the den. ¡°Edward, Replicate skill [Vision - Critical Vision]¡± ¡°[Speed Boost - Limbs]¡± ¡°lets go.¡± i waiting as each unit of patrol went out and killed them to get the hang of the attack patterns of the goblins. each of them had a different set of personality with a different set of attack pattern, making it more varied and more challenging to predict their movement and motions. Weapon X Attack Pattern X Personality. the developers made these as the fairly basic randomization to make it harder to blindly kill. imagine a cowardly but fast mob that had high attack, it hits until hit and then it runs so u are forced to chase it if u want kill it while at the same time an aggressive defensive makes unable to do so. because of all these varieties, a basic knowledge of all personalities and attack patterns are needed. it gets really hard if it is an archer with a sly nature using the attack pattern of hit and run. you will never be able to kill unless you are able to corner it. This added a sense of realism to the game, personality influences the game big time. a charismatic nature on any monster or NPC would usually result is a boss or noble of sort that has a bunch of lower monster or NPC surrounding them. Quest related to them will tend to appear more often. it is quite likely that there is a mini boss similar to a goblin kind in this den based on what the villager said. Big mob with team mechanic. will be hard to kill unless i kill all the mobs in the den before reaching the boss. if i do not kill it will be likely that when i rescue the villagers the boss will capture them again and surround me. The best answer is to wipe the boss then save them as usual. it is the only safe choice to prevent a chain quest may require me to return and kill it later. hopefully i get to have some fame from the villagers and faith to bring me closer to godhood and i am sure of one thing. this is just demigod level rebirth, I most likely will have to be reborn again to get to full godhood though. as i wandered in the den, i saw goblins from all walks of life doing business. Trading and bartering with each other although most of the time they end up fighting and the winner takes all. it is rather interesting to watch but rescue and boss hunting comes first. killing the occasional patrol goblins i realized that some paths had more in each unit that the other. speculating that the boss is in the area with more goblins, i starting killing my way there. Twice i almost let the goblin slip away to sound the alarm. it is not safe to do so. i may kill fast but not that fast. Being a cook has its disadvantages but being able to dual wield give me the damage i need. ¡°SNOREEEEE¡± ¡°SNOREEEEEEEEE¡± ¡°SNOREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!¡± ¡°SNORT!!¡± ¡°SNOREEEEE¡± i guess i am reaching the sleeping boss. i headed towards the snoring and saw the two guards to the chamber to where i believe the sound is coming from Goblin Guards Level 32 Race Goblin HP 1800 MP 1200 ATT 200 -250 DEF 150 ¡°Guess i am in the right place.¡± Quickly dispatching them i looked into the chamber. Ragnuk, Goblin Lord Level 35 Race Goblin HP 2160 MP 1386 ATT 300 -350 DEF 200 Finally the boss fight i have been waiting for. i am level 32 and he is lvl 35. just the right amount of level gap. Nothing to oppressive. Lets go Wilson. Time to boss hunt. ¡°Edward, Replicate skill [Vision - Critical Vision]¡± In the game of Uprising, all mob have racial and class skills, that is common knowledge but there is also skills unique to individual mobs, they may be granted blessings or skills due to their own actions. you can defeat a goblin king from a certain spawn location and when a new one respawns it would have a new set of skills, weapon, character and traits. the level will also differ. the game makers made the game this way as to make it such that no two mobs are the same. like how i got edward who has the [Replicate] skill while another who goes to his spawn point may get the skill [Pickpocket] instead. ~~~~~ story will be on hold until the i have time to fix the scripting issues.
