“HAA… Huff… Dammit… I…”

His legs and arms trembling, Dale additionally fell on the bottom not lengthy after.

‘Simply 10%?… Not unhealthy…’

‘I solely want a bit extra to Stage up…’

‘Maybe that is higher than a straight Stage Up, I nonetheless must take pleasure in my Fame bonus for a bit longer…’

As he recovered on the bottom, Testros walked subsequent to him and stated:

“Hum, I will overlook this break of conduct, for now, you are free to go, Soldier!”

“…”

Dale checked out him with a drained expression, making Testros cough awkwardly.

He clearly didn’t take care of his conduct in any respect, although Dale didn’t know of his causes to behave like this both…

Maybe it was one thing he had at all times desired to do, and it simply fell onto Dale’s shoulder to bear with it.

Both manner, he had no cause to be upset, it is not like Testros was performing just like the army on Earth…

“I will keep right here, for now, if you happen to suppose you might be up for it, you’ll be able to come again later for one more session.”

“Remember to put the flag holder again in place.” Testros stated as he circled and left, leaving the drained Dale on the bottom

“Huff… Shit…”

/Gulp!/

The shirtless Dale took out a potion from his stock and drank it; it was a minor stamina potion, meant to assist him with recovering stamina.

“Haa…”

Feeling a bit higher, he acquired up from the bottom and dusted his shorts.

He dried his sweaty physique with a towel earlier than he placed on his shirt once more.

“It took me virtually 3 hours to complete this rattling coaching… It took manner longer than I anticipated.”

‘In complete, I did 165 actions… Or not less than I ought to’ve since I failed many instances and I used to be compelled to restart a number of instances…’

‘So not less than 300, maybe over 400…’

‘I can see this coaching was efficient considerably, however here’s a minor drawback with it… I am unable to see the top.’

‘What number of instances will I’ve to repeat this earlier than I can progress on this questline? I am unable to see myself enhancing quick sufficient to meet up with Testros for instance.’

‘I can enhance a couple of years’ price of coaching by placing on a large quantity of effort in over a couple of months… However many years of coaching?’

‘By the point I see any noticeable progress, different individuals could be lengthy gone previous me…’

Dale shook his head, circled, and began heading to the Mercenary Guild.

“I am in all probability doing this incorrect, I am unable to suppose like this.”

‘I simply must press ahead.”

‘I’ve 4 principal quests proper now, and all of them are by some means associated to the development of this territory.’

‘The principle one is to revive Resko to its former glory, however there are not any situations, so it is in all probability the primary quest of this place.’

‘The extra I do, the extra I accomplish on this place, the higher my finish rewards are going to turn out to be.’

‘Other than that, there may be the Misplaced Icon quest, and I’d say that’s a part of the Church subquest, that can in all probability lead me to search out out what is going on to it.’

‘And this quest is intrinsically related to my subsequent quest, Resko’s previous.’

‘Resko’s previous is all about discovering out what contributed to the autumn of the town, resulting in the Village’s present poor state.’

‘Thus far, there are 2 principal issues that contributed to its fall, and it was the Kingdom and the weakening of the Southern Wall Corps.’

‘The Kingdom’s actions made the individuals go away Resko in a disorganized manner, however that wasn’t solely it since Resko misplaced its goal, turning into out of date.’

‘With the exhaustion of its surrounding sources and the ‘Demons’ having been totally suppressed, individuals simply left when issues grew to become too secure.’

‘In a standard state of affairs, it will be within the Kingdom’s curiosity to show Resko right into a Foremost Metropolis and use it as a connection to colonize the South… However they simply threw it away attributable to their very own causes.’

‘It is the identical as spitting on the efforts of the primary Emperor and his objectives, a whole bunch of years of efforts have been thrown away and the South stays wild to at the present time.’

‘And lastly, there’s something else that I’ve but to search out out, and I believe that has to do with how the desert is slowly growing in measurement, taking up the fertile farmlands.’

‘Not solely the desert but additionally the heavy rain that floods the village… I want to search out extra details about these items.’

‘However they’ve one thing in frequent, they’re each pure disasters. However they appear extra synthetic than pure…’

‘I do know deserts can broaden shortly, however for it to even have a powerful wet season appears odd to me… I might simply be incorrect although.’

“Other than these 4 quests, I might add my repeatable quests, such because the coaching and the Mercenary Guild’s duties…”

‘And there a couple of extra issues that would find yourself as quests, such because the phrases of David saying he knew some issues in regards to the village, however wanted time to recollect.’

‘And the opposite Elders of the Village, they will positively train me issues and I’m positive all of them have quests.’

‘There are additionally the phrases of Misgurd, the Mercenary Guild head, and the way he stated that retailers come each few years and the way an inspection social gathering visits the village each 10 years or so.

‘And that the time for his or her arrival was simply across the nook…’

‘There are the Hidden Quests too, I simply have to search out them.’

‘And that may solely imply one factor… The villagers. There are a whole bunch of Quests however solely 100 villagers.’

‘Even when part of them could also be generated mechanically by exploring and never via them, they’re nonetheless an vital clue that may lead me to additional riches.’

‘I already completed a Quest whose remaining reward was the Legendary Merchandise, Caladgolg. And even when there are not any higher quests, I’m positive there are lower-ranked ones.’

“The entire villagers at the moment are on the farmlands, and once they return, they are going to instantly fall asleep, so my solely likelihood of interacting with them is by heading there and seeing what I can do.”

‘Or by fixing the meals drawback in its entirety… If I scale back their meals issues, then they’re going to have extra time to concentrate on different issues, opening area for the Village to develop additional.’

‘Even the Village Head is with them, together with many of the Village’s guards.’

‘As for the people who find themselves nonetheless right here… It is solely the youngsters and the previous individuals, however I am unable to underestimate them. I already acquired a quest from one in every of these ‘youngsters’ that resulted in me getting Caladgolg… ‘

‘And I need not say the rest in regards to the previous individuals…’

With plans forming in his thoughts, Dale made his approach to the Guild Department…

…

/Over 5 hours later…/

/Shion!/

In the course of the soiled polished stone highway outdoors of Resko, sudden white gentle flashed as a pillar of sunshine fell from the skies.

When the white gentle dissipated, an individual appeared.

His hair was very brief and blonde, and his blue eyes appeared to mix in with the sky… He wore fabric armor along with a big double axe on his again.

His pores and skin was a bit tanned however not a lot.

He was a moderately good-looking younger man.

He raised his hand and taped within the air a couple of instances, and after checking one thing, he nodded as he smoothed out his hair, saying:

“Good afternoon everybody, we at the moment are… Reside!”

“It is at the moment 3 PM o’clock and also you all know what this implies!”

“It means Azimuth’s first day has simply handed! It positive glided by shortly… Sheesh.” He stated with a smile

“However as I promised, I’m now right here, on the continent of… Nicely, Azimuth! So it is time to sport it out.”

He raised his arms and confirmed the environment to the individuals on the livestream.

“As you’ll be able to see, we appear to be on the border between a desert and a forest, a moderately unique place brimming with life, so I elevate you all a query: The place am I?”

“I will give the primary particular person to guess it accurately a one-day subscription!” He stated with a smile as he seemed round

He waited for a couple of seconds as he walked in direction of the Resko within the distance.

“Time’s up!”

“Imagine it or not, we’re at the moment within the hardest spawn level of the sport! The Southern Village of Resko on the border of the Kingdom!”

“This place has lately gathered fairly the status by the neighborhood in consequence of the numerous failed makes an attempt at a few of the different increased stage areas.”

“So I’m fairly positive nobody had the heart to come back and do this place out but, making us the primary to step into this unusual land!”

“Nicely… On that notice, allow us to pray that we’ll succeed the place they failed…”

“In any case, we could begin this journey?”

He smiled as he learn the feedback, his expression turning into a bit extra severe earlier than he stated:

“No, I do not suppose so, I must be too unfortunate for that to occur… Oh!”

“Thanks, BubbleGum for the 6 Shards!”

“Now, since we are the first, we have to arrange a plan…”

He seemed round as soon as extra, noticing Resko within the distance.

“So… How about we verify that village over there and see what we are able to discover?”

“Additionally, keep in mind that Resko has a hazard Stage of 65, so please forgive me if I take issues a bit gradual.” He stated as he seemed round

“It will be too unhealthy if we have been compelled to log off after simply arriving would not it?…”

“Oh my, one other traveler?” Stated an previous feminine voice behind the person

He shortly circled to gaze on the previous girl, it was Tina getting back from selecting up fruits within the wild as she at all times did.

And listening to what she stated, the younger man thought:

‘One other? Has one other participant really arrived? Rattling… I hope this is not the case.’

‘At the very least she is pleasant.’ He thought as he noticed the system window on high of her head

[Old Villager (Green)]

“Hi there miss. I’m certainly a traveler, are you from that village over there?”

“Nicely, there is just one village round right here, and that will be that place over there certainly.”

She noticed his uncommon expression and thought he was confused, so she opened her basket, grabbing one thing from inside

“Right here, you look moderately skinny on your age, eat some apples.” She stated as she gave him a shiny grey apple.

It was the famed Iron Apple…

“Thanks!”

And after the younger man grabbed the iron apple, she continued on her approach to the village with him proper behind her.

/Crack!/

“?!?!”

He tried to take a chunk of the apple, however his enamel cracked, making him flinch in ache.

As a reflex, he inspected the merchandise in his arms…

[Iron apple

Description: An Apple said to be as tough as Iron, consume with caution]

‘DAMMIT! Is she making an attempt to kill me?! Even with my ache reception decreased, this nonetheless hurts like hell!’

With a frown, the younger man tried his finest to take care of a relaxed persona as he adopted the previous girl, his stream chat making enjoyable of him as he walked.

They might see all the pieces he might see, they usually might additionally see his Stats always, in order that they instantly realized he took injury from making an attempt to eat the merchandise.

Some even joked, saying, “That is what you get for not listening to your mom, by no means settle for sweet from strangers…”.

As for the younger man, his gaming intuition informed him she was an vital NPC.

This got here from his a few years of gaming in Digital Actuality creating the behavior of respecting any and all NPCs.

The worst factor that may occur to a participant is to be locked out of a quest and lose potential progress… He spoke from expertise…

As such, he didn’t voice any complaints.

…

/A couple of minutes of strolling…/

“…”

Because the younger man approached the gates, he noticed two guards ready for them.

And the very first thing he realized was the place their names… It was pink.

‘Why are their names pink?’

‘Inexperienced implies that the NPC is pleasant, Grey means it is impartial, Yellow means it is cautious of its environment, and Crimson means it is hostile…’

‘What did I do?!’

He raised his head to the sky and stated:

“Are you able to see that everybody? The guards appear hostile to us, do you’ve gotten any thought as to why? Depart your concepts within the feedback.”

“Even so, it appears we discovered our manner inside, less complicated than I assumed, however that is simply the beginning…”

And regardless of all the pieces he stated, Tina didn’t react to his phrases in any respect, she calmly walked ahead with no care on this planet.

Once they arrived on the gates, the identical that occurred to Dale was repeated, and the younger man efficiently entered the village!

…

“I current to you all… Resko!” He stated as he confirmed them round

‘However why does this place appear like crap? In comparison with the screenshots of the Capital and different starter villages, this place is just like the slums…’

‘I assumed this place could be some kind of legendary place attributable to its Stage requirement…’

‘Was it the proper selection to come back right here?’

…
