....

After inspecting the wild boar, Shin prepared himself and enter the monsterʼs aggro range.

The moment Shin step in 7 meters away from the boar he is notice by it. The boar exhale a bunch of air from itʼs nose, when it see that Shin have no plan of stopping, the boar directly use itʼs first skill.

Charge!

Shin smirks when he saw the incoming boar. He take a large diagonal step to the right while simultaneously drawing the sword on his waist and swing it in an upward-diagonal motion.

- 51

The boar shriek because of the sudden attack, and it stumble on the ground from the momentum and it take a backslash damage because it fails to hit the ʼCharge Skillʼ.

- 100

Shin takes the opportunity and attack the boar with ʼTriple Slashʼ

- 132

- 149

- 166

The boar got enraged because of the strings of damage. It get up hurriedly and run away from Shin to gain some distance to use another Charge.

But how can Shin let that happen, he run closely with the boar while swinging his sword from time to time. And every time his skill cool downed he will use it immediately.

When the boarʼs HP is almost in the empty, Shin pays for his reckless attacking method, he get exhaust and is thrown by boarʼs strike.

- 50

A red number pop-up on Shinʼs head and he is send flying backwards. He struggle to regain his balance.

As if the boar expected it, It used Change once again.

Shin panic at first, but he still manage to regain his composure very quickly. ʼI came across a lot of battle already do you think I will let you do all you want.ʼ said Shin in his heart while forcing himself to dodge the attack.

Even though he manage to move his body away from the path of Boarʼs Charge to avoid the stun effect of the skill, he is still been hit by the boarʼs tusk.

- 300

He endure the damage and swings his sword downwards with all the strength remaining in his body.

- 90(Critical)

The Boar cry in agony before taking itʼs last breath. At the same time a golden light enfold Shin together with strings of Level-up notification.

Level up!

Level up!

Level up!

Level up!

Shin HP and Stamina is recovered back to full. Then he sat down and tell to himself. ”That was close. I should be careful on using skills next time and also pay attention on my stamina control, since I canʼt control my body here as well as in the Real World.”

Then he look at his status window and said. ”Base on what read on the game introduction, it is easy to Level-up in the early stages and it gets harder and harder as the Level goes higher. I should not waste ʼmy X2 EXP Boostʼ.”

*(For more information about the Level-up procedures please look at Authorʼs thought below.)

”A Human can have a 10 ʼUndistributed Statsʼ every level. Even though a Human donʼt have any Multiplier on their main stats they still get 5 more ʼUndistributed Statsʼ than the other races.”

”Since I have a lot of bonus stats from the training I should not spend any ʼUndistributed Statsʼ for now and save it for emergency purposes.” said Shin while he is criticizing his last battle.

A ʼMultiplier of Statsʼ is a bonus on main stats that other race gain in every level. For example if a human can have 5 points in their every stats for every level they gain then an Elf can have 5 points in every stats and +3 more in AGI and INT in every level.

After that he gather the boarʼs skin and tusk, and pick up the loots. He got a little unlucky this time because the boar only drop a few pieces of bronze coin.

Then he look for his next target. He do the same approach, he wait for the boar to charge at him before a diagonal step while doing a draw attack and then continue attacking while paying attention to his stamina.

Few hours later. A boar is Charging at Shin at great speed, when the boar is near him he do the same diagonal step while drawing the sword from his waist but this time it is done with an extreme speed and precise timing.

Then a system notification ring on his ears but he ignore it and follow his attack with his typical combo. After he kills the boar he then take a look at the system notification.

System: Congratulations you have created a new skill please give a name for your skill.

ʼSo it is really easier to create a skill in combat, sometimes it is good to listen to Arthur about the game. I wonder what level he is or how good is he?.ʼ said Shin to himself before naming his new skill. ”Letʼs call it ʼQuick Drawʼ”

System: Congratulations you have created a Rare skill ʼQuick Drawʼ you have been granted 10 Fame as bonus.

....

”Another Rare Skill? Looks like Iʼm quite lucky with skills huh.” said Shin because even if he didnʼt get any items from the boarʼs drops he still manage to get two basic skill books.

What Shin didnʼt know is that creating as skill is really hard for other Players specifically Rare Rank and above. He can only created a skill easily because he is a Martial-Art Practitioner in real world.

And the dropped rates of weapons and armors are very low, thatʼs why he didnʼt find any weapons that have been drop.

”The ʼEqualizer Skillʼ gives a lot of bonus damage. Hmm. I guess I should learn some Skill that uses mana so that my MP will not go to waste. I have a lot of stamina now so I can do a lot of things now.” Shin analyze his stats while take some mental note about his future plans.

”OK, since I have collected more than enough boar materials I should go and find the cave now to mine some Iron metals. I should take advantage of the Beginners Village benefits for now. In here I donʼt need to concern about weaponʼs durability and it is also a good place farm a lot of skills, once I get out of this Village the drop rate of skill books will detoriate.

But I also want reach Level 10 earlier so that I can have my class change.” said Shin while leaving his spot to find the cave but before he get too far away, he heard a large and heavy steps coming from his back.

He turned around and look what is it. And what he see is a golden boar three times larger than a Wild Boar. He then activate Scouting to see it stats.

”Are you kidding me with that kind of stats, this monster can trample any average Player especially with that kind of defense. Well I can easily kill this guy if I use my Undistributed Stats but I have decided that Iʼm only going to use it once Iʼve done my class change.” said Shin while looking at the Golden Boar cautiously.

Then he look at his surroundings to see if there is anyone in the vicinity. ”All Clear! Now Iʼm going to use you as a testing subject for my Skill.” Shin wet his lips while holding his swordʼs sheath with his left hand and putting his right hand on itʼs hilt, then facing the ʼGolden Boarʼ sideways in a squatting position.

When the ʼGolden Boarʼ see Shinʼs action, it get enrage because it thinks Shin is provoking him. It scratch itʼs front foot before using ʼChargeʼ just like the other boars.

Shin smirks when see this happens. ”What a predictable guy”. When the ʼGolden Boarʼ is almost in front of him he use ʼQuick Drawʼ.

- 2063

When that damage is dealt Shin whistles and said ”Rare Skills sure are scary, with that kind of damage I can even one hit someone.”

As him and the Boar is passing each other, he try to swing his sword normally.

- 0

”And yes with that kind of defense, I canʼt deal any damage with my 270+ base damage. Looks like I can only depend on my skills this time around.” said Shin when he see that he canʼt deal any damage. Then he chase after the boar.

When the boar turns around Shin is already upon it and using a ʼTriple Slashʼ.

- 256

- 395

- 534

When the ʼTriple Slashʼ hits, a large chunk of the boarʼs HP is gone. Then it release a loud roar while raising itʼs front feet.

When Shin saw that he hurriedly use a ʼDestructive Slashʼ

- 34

The Golden Boarʼs movement pauses for a second before continuing to Stamp itʼs front feet.

Even though Shin failed to cancel the ʼStampʼ he still managed to get away from itʼs effective range using his own ʼChargeʼ.

...

While Shin is busy dealing with the ʼGolden Boarʼ, a party of five Players is moving towards his direction.

” Boss, this is the direction where I hear that roar. Iʼm sure it is from the ʼGolden Boarʼ.” said by an Elf from the group while playing with his dagger.

”Letʼs hurry up, we canʼt let other guy steal that boss from us.” a middle age Lionkin Beastman command to the others.

If Shin is here he will recognize them because these players are the group of players that mock him when he is accepting the ʼTraining Questʼ.

When they arrive at the site, what they see startled them.

”Look that guy is fighting that Boss solo.” said a Human guy of the group.

”Boss isnʼt that guy that we saw in the Village? How come he is already Level 7? Whatʼs more fight a Boss solo”. said the Elf when he recognize Shin.

” Could it be he got lucky manage to find a powerful weapon?”. said by a WolfKin

”Look that guy sword is shinning with blue light maybe he really have rare weapon, from the looks of it it should be at least a Bronze rank weapon because those are the only items that have that kind of effects” said by the Human once he saw Shinʼs attack.

”Yeah, and look at those kind of damage the ʼGolden Boarʼ has at least 300 defense because of itʼs ʼHard Skin Skillʼ but he still able to deal a lot of damage, especially that drawing skill it deals more than 2000 damage it should be the additional skill of that weapon.

But contrary to these guys expectations, the real reason why Shinʼs sword is shinning is because of his ʼEqualizer Skillʼ. His sword is coated with blue light because some of his Magic Attack is being converted to Physical Attack.

While his ʼQuick Drawʼ is a ʼPersonalized Rare Skillʼ which is a lot more stronger than basic skills. Even though it is a possibility they disregard it because they donʼt believe, that Shin can create an ʼOP Skillʼ like that.

”Thatʼs enough chit-chatting, spread out and surround that kid. We are going to show him what will happen to those people that refuses to join us.” Said the Lionkin Beastman.

.....

As the Boarʼs health drops, the more Shin feel that there is something wrong so he look at the surroundings and notice silhouettes moving under the shades of the trees. ”So that was it”. said Shin to himself while slowing down his rhythm and taking some precautions.

Then ʼDanʼ shows himself while saying ” We meet again kid. Do you want us to lend you a hand?”

Shin give him a side eye glance before replying. ”Thanks for the offer senior, but I can handle this myself.”

Dan smirks before saying. ”Thatʼs OK, but we didnʼt asked your for your permission.”

At the same time the Boss Health reaches 20%, Then the Elf charge at Shinʼs back with extreme speed and use a CC(Crowd Control) Skill.

But when Shin felt the killing intent coming from Elfʼs dagger, he instinctively move his body sideways barely dodging the attack. After that he turn around and use a ʼDestructive Slashʼ on Elf. Followed by a notification ring on his ears.

System: Youʼve attacked another Player. Classified as an act of self-defense so you will not get a ʼSin Pointsʼ.

The Elf got startled at what happened, whatʼs more he canʼt even move because of the two seconds stun. Then the ʼGolden Boarʼ ram at him resulting to send him flying.

At the same time Shin uses ʼChargeʼ at Dan who is standing not far from him.

Bang!

- 290

Dan got stunned for a second, and when he recovered from it he immediately raise his sword and swing it to Shin. But Shin already jumps on his right smirking at him while sheathing his sword.

Dan didnʼt even manage to know the reason of that smirk when he is hit by the Golden Boarʼs Charge and instantly killing him.

The other three is rooted at their place because of the sudden turn of events. Then they look at each other before charging at Shin.

When the Human and WolfKin Players are almost at Shin, they want use their offensive skills but Shin is faster, he use ʼQuick Drawʼ on the Human guy followed by a Triple Slash to the WolfKin and a normal attack

- 3000(Critical)

- 566

- 705

- 839

- 280

They followed the footsteps of their Boss. The last guy stops his tracks when he see his comrades died tragically. He look at the Elf guy that is sent flying by the Boar and when he see the Elf is already running away, he want to run away too but Shin is already attacking him.

When Shin killed the third guy, the ʼGolden Boarʼ is already charging at him. He circled on a tree trying to block the Boarʼs path, but the Boar is in ʼBerserk Stateʼ so tree got blasted when the Boar rammed at it.

When the Boar speed is slowed down by the tree, Shin continued to circled around on the other trees waiting for his skills cool down.

Roar!!!!!

After few more minutes of battle the Golden Boar taked it last breath resulting for Shin to level-up once again.

Level up!

Level up!

And then Shinʼs eyes shines when he see the Golden Boarʼs drops.
