[VRMMO] Dead One

(It was fun. This place did look grim and all, but it was interesting and fun.)

"Goodbye graveyard town."

ClownFrog left the graveyard town and headed to the towards the Jih City.

After few hours of traveling, ClownFrog manage to arrive to the Jih City gate.

(Huh. Not what I was expecting. True. Walking here did took some time and all.)

(It took few hours to reach that, however I was expecting, you know a monster ambush or sudden quest or anything, but nope. Just hours of walking with nothing happening and peace. The road was completely safe and peaceful.)

(It was so freaking boring. They could at least add caravan or something that can teleport me there, but no. Just walk freaking hours there.)

"Well, all I’ve been doing was fighting all the time, so just peaceful walk could be consider a break or something?"

ClownFrog entered the city.

’Whistle’

"This is quite a change."

As soon as ClownFrog entered the city, he saw streets filled with people, tall building, street stalls and all other stuff that he didn’t saw in the graveyard city.

(In the graveyard city I saw some people walking in it, but that as many as this place. The atmosphere in this place also feels way different.)

(Humans, dark elves, forest elves, orcs, goblins, dwarfs and some other races are here.)

(Some people are walking in normal clothes while some are wearing adventure like gear and other stuff.)

"On top of that I can finally see players!"

[Both players and NPCs are able to tell if the person is a player or NPC.]

(Anyway, I should find the adventurer guild a deliver this letter. I want to see what kind of reward I get.)

[Sometime later.]

"So, you are the brat that has been helping out with request where my lil sister worked, aren’t ya?"

The one who said was muscular female dark elf wearing eye a patch.

[Guild Master Of The Jih Adventurer Guild – Zoan]

(.... Okay. Wasn’t expecting that.)

(After I found the adventure guild and told one of the staff about the situation with the letter, he quickly runner off and told me to wait before coming back in rush.)

(I was thinking that her sister worked just regular worker but not the guild master.)

(However, she maybe a big shot if she has position of the guild master, making connections with her isn’t a bad idea.)

"Oi, are you freaking listening to me you brat? Answer me."

"Ah! Yes! I’m called ClownFrog. Pleasure to meet you." – said ClownFrog in panic.

(However, Well.... I don’t see anything like similarities between these two and their characters are also quite different.)

(Her sister had peaceful aura and was very friendly, but her sister gives vibes like she is some sort of mafia boss or something.)

(I’m kind of scared right now.)

[You have completed the quest: Ami Request.]

"Huh. Well, I get the gist about the situation. My sis asked to look out for you and help out if something."

"So, is there something you want right now or something?" – asked dark elf.

"Em.... Not right now. I can of just want to focus on exploring and getting stronger."

(She seems like a person with some influence and power. Its better if I don’t waste it asking some stupid shit and wait if something important came up.)

"Hm.... Okay then. But just remember to come back when you finally want something." – said the female dark elf while taking out cigar.

"Hm? Oh right. What is your current level?"

"Em. Its 20 ma’am."

"Well then, there should be few quest in regarding the forest that is located in the west."

"Oh. Thanks." – said ClownFrog before leaving the room.

After taking some request in the adventure guild ClownFrog beginned walking through the city streets, visiting various shops before finally leaving city and heading to the forest.

"Looking for the party!"

"We have party of 3 and we are looking for the healer!"

"Does anybody want to complete the quest together?!"

(Wow. There is a lot of people here and all of them are players! I wasn’t expecting this.)

In front of the entrance of the forest, ClownFrog could spot many different players. Some of them were chatting with each other while some of them were looking for a party members.

(There are people forming parties and other stuff.)

(Should I team up with somebody then?)

You fuking bastard!

It’s all your fault.

"..."

".... Nah."

(I know that being in party makes things easier but it split the EXP gain right?)

(I don’t even know if I need party to hunt properly. I have my undead and the newly acquired class burning necromancer. However, lets first try going solo and finding out if I can manage or not.)

(I also bough a new armor that increases my INT and MP just by bit and restocked my potions. I think I’m good to go.)

(On top of that....I just don’t want to be in party.....)

ClownFrog entered the forest.

Sometime passed after entering the forest.

"...."

"Huh. It feels bit weird."

(Before I had all area for myself but now, I’m sometimes running into players or other people hunting and fighting monsters. I wonder how hard is finding monsters right now? Should I look for area where there are less players appearing?)

"?"

[Kobold – Level 20] x4

While walking through the forest, ClownFrog ended up running into the group of kobolds that instantly spotted him after he got near them.

"Oh, found aa group already."

"Well then."

ClownFrog summoned all of his undead monsters out.

"Time to hunt."

The undead monster beginned fighting against the kobolds. However, ClownFrog did not joined the fight yet but instead observed the situation.

"?"

While observing the fight between the undead and the kobolds, ClownFrog noticed something interesting. The kobolds weren’t overwhelmed too much by the undeads.

Even though there was more undead, the kobolds were somehow able to hold out and even kill some of the skeleton servants.

"Oh? Well, that is interesting."

(They are definitely stronger than those ratmans and dark forest wolfs, however in bigger way.)

(The difference in power with ratmans and dark forest wolfs weren’t that big, but the difference between the dark forest wolfs and those kobolds are definitely noticeable.)

(So, the beginner area was easy mode however after that the thing aren’t easy anymore.)

"Well, the only proper challenge I had ever since I started the game was with that ratman, but beside him there wasn’t anything else, but now things are different."

"Anyway, I think I saw enough. [Burning Skull]."

ClownFrog fired a burning skull at the kobolds, hitting them and confusing them as well as killing one of the kobolds.

"I think I will turn you into my slaves if you don’t mind." – said ClownFrog before killing all the kobolds one by one.

"[Create: Lesser Skeleton]."

ClownFrog turned the kobolds into undead.

(Even though they have reduced stats because of the penalty, they are still bit good. And even their equipment is better compare to the stuff ratmans were wearing and using. However, the cost of these kobolds are also bigger compare to the wolfs)

"But overall, I think I like this new area. It does provide a little challenge."

ClownFrog using his undead creatures went on rampaged though the forest, killing kobolds and all different monsters that he encounter while heading to the deeper parts of the forest.

However somewhere else in the forest a different situation was taking place.

"You mother fuckers! What the heck is your problem?!" – said male orc player.

"You- "

Before the orc could finish his sentence, his head was suddenly cut off by the sword.

"Wow. This is going way too easy." – said the human male player that just killed the orc.

"Yea, but they could at least carry something good with them. I was looking for mana necklace for sometime but didn’t wanted to buy one. I though maybe one of the mages we killed would drop it." – said the female player wearing a nun outfit.

"I get what you mean. I was hopping some of them would drop something good, but none of them were in possession of anything good." – said the player on top of the tree.

"By the way boss, do we have our next target ready?" – asked the male human player.

"We got few. Pie told us that 3 parties of newbies entered the areas as well as some solo players."

"The usually huh? Boring," – said the nun.

"Huh. I wouldn’t say so. Pie said that he saw one player entering the forest while wearing an interesting cloak that he never seen worn by any players or in the shops. And when he looked at his armor, it appears he was a spellcaster specialized armor that increases INT and MP." – said the boss.

"Hm? Wait, then by any chance is it rare or something even higher ranking item? That cloak." – asked the person on the tree.

"Yea. There is a good chance. The person in question is unliving lizardman with dark green colored bones. It may be worth targeting him. When you spot him, inform everybody in the team." – said the boss.

"Got it."

Back to the ClownFrog.

The undead lead by ClownFrog were slaughtering the big of group of kobolds.

One of the kobolds that was fighting against the skeleton servant has manage to kill the undead, however a new skeleton servant took its place.

Even though the kobolds were stronger than skeletons, the unending number of the skeletons driving them into the corner.

"Sorry, but as long I have corpse buddy, I can just make new ones."

Afte bit of struggling the last of the kobold was slain by the hands of the undead kobold.

[Level Up! You have reached level 23.]

"Phew. That was the last one."

(Lets quickly make more undead and take break.) – though ClownFrog before starting to make new undeads.

(Hunting is definitely more difficulty that before, but not too difficult that I can’t handle. I also leveled up with hunting here 2 times already.)

"However, my undeads are keep dying AGAIN! For crying out loud!"

(Undead back then before I left the graveyard town and was hunting those wolfs had stopped having a big difficulties. However now they appeared freaking again. And because of that the undead are again dying more frequently.)

(But it’s not like I can do anything about this. I cannot unlock any new skills that can upgrade them or anything as of the moment. This may change when some of my skills reach level 10. They maybe evolve like those skills or maybe unlock new skills.)

(There are some skills I can get in the necromancer skills at the moment, but should use my skill points now or wait until the new options gets unlocked?)

(But the sooner I unlock the skill the more I can level it up and level up [Standard Necromancy].)

".... Fuck me. Screw this I wait and see. But it better be something good that comes up."

"Anyway, I guess I should try and finish this quest already."
