Desire

After leaving the house with the black snow scent, Azin headed straight for Shake's house. The walk was not so quick, and he relaxed toward Shake's house and organized his thoughts.

Sal Sin-Mu.

It is doubtful that the magnificent name would be worth it, but it would be remarkable because the aroma of raw snow was confident. He's an absolute master who calls himself the best of the wealthiest, and if she spent 20 years creating a shaman...

‘If you get it, you can grow a lot. ’

The savings were that he lacked his own methods of attack. Power and speed can be replaced by the Celestial Mascot, but you can't help it. In parallel with the energy drain, long term combat is possible, but how does it end up attacking and evading it? Avoidance is a thousand dollar bill, but the attack will eventually have to be targeted by the impending response. The user believes in its Battle Sense and hits the target. I haven't felt a big problem about it yet. Battles have made me sick of my old virtual reality games.

But it's not enough. As Raw Snow warned, this battle never ends when it encounters an opponent more powerful than Azin. If you meet an opponent who can cope with your impending challenge, you will ultimately lose.

‘Until now, I've been imitating a man who remembers nothing.’

This also lacks depth. Even if the astronaut replenishes its power and speed, it cannot increase the power of the natural artisans. It was natural and inevitable. He's never been professionally trained and dug. The skills of the previous game were, after all, entrusted to the system. Thinks about a skill and aims where it wants. It unfolds. With the assistance of the system, it opens the masonry. Given the situation, you cannot use your original power at a time when you do not know the skill well enough to receive assistance from the system.

But what if you learn to live? Salsa said it was nothing, not nothing, without a brother. Azin couldn't quite understand it, but it certainly helped. As long as we get the acceleration of the thought, the power of the movement, and the expansion of the senses of the Black Snow, the battle for Azin will definitely be different.

‘.. who are you talking about? ’

Raw Snow scent is the reason why Salsa was created, to avenge those who dropped her here. Is this another plot of the story? Azin's eyes narrowed.

First was too unfriendly for the user. It is within the framework of the game, but it forces the user to do it, not the game. In order to acquire an item, you must skin the monster and cut its flesh. Others are too similar to reality. In fact, everything except this avatar is real.

It's as if the Avatar wasn't just a game, it was thrown into another real-world world.

“Hey, you're the player, right? ”

Suddenly, someone talks to me. Azin stops walking and looks at the girl looking at him. She was a blue-eyed woman who had yet to leave her at the altar.

“Yes. You too? ”

Are you a foreign player? First is the first virtual game created in the world and has been consolidating servers from the beginning, without dividing them by countries. We don't know if it's a world of confidence that can embrace millions of players from all over the country, or whether it's proud of the servers that are working. It is clear that it itself has come to great appeal to gaming players around the world.

Since the creation of virtual reality, the chat system using avatars has already been completed, even if it is not this large online rpg game. There are no language barriers. They use avatars that are regulated by brainwaves, and physicians themselves use the desire of consciousness, not language. It became a surer means of communication than turning the translator around. Ritual Avatars, Ritual Conversations.

‘No, maybe it's just an avatar made in the West. ’

Customizing your avatar is free. Black can be white, Asian can be black. Although gender is limited by the fact that it is too bizarre, the appearance itself can perfectly adjust the length of each finger, including the kidney.

“Yes, this is Daisy. The level is 21. ‘

‘Average.’

It has been five days since beta play began. Only two days later, Luke, who was level 20, was ranked fourth. There were many levels of duplication, but it was clear that 20 was the fourth highest level. But that changed over time. Luke's level is now 28. I don't think I can help slow down my growth as I level up, but Luke leveled up eight in three days and the ranking was still in fourth place. When checked, Ashela's level was also 26.

‘Based on the overall average, 20. ’

But Ajin's level is still 16. It is not even close to the average and is the lowest ranked. Ajin looks at Daisy, looking at two people who are looking at her from a distance.

They're players, too.

There are still quite a few players left in the town. The problem is that the level of quests given in this town does not reach their level. So instead of interacting with npc to get quests, players were repeating their hunt by forming their own herd. It's not enough to challenge the owner of the wild forest yet, but players are growing up hunting the herd of silver wolves through party hunting.

“Is there something I can help you with? ”

Azin smiles faintly and asks. In response, Daisy nods loudly and approaches Azin.

“Hey, if you have a good time or you don't have a party, why don't you join us? ”

‘That's what I thought. ’

Azin was not embarrassed.

There are only 50 players left in the village. About 50 of the 1500 players initially thrown in this game. Other players have already left the town. Silver Wolves give good experience, but there is no reason to stay in the Starting Village in the limited time beta service. Probably, most players have moved their Nodes. Like Luke and Asella's party, they may have crossed into the Forest of Silence and headed to the Port City, or they may have gone to the Forest of Pain, the Forest of Forgetfulness, or beyond.

In the end, there are about 50 players hunting in the wild right now.

“Well, I don't really belong to any party, but I'm low level.”

I wasn't lying. Ajin scratches his head with an embarrassing smile. He decided to take a step back. In response, Daisy glanced at him.

“Oh, I know about him. Ajin, right? ”

How the fuck does this bitch know my name? Azin paused for a moment. In response to the azine, Daisy shook her hand and said.

“Oh, I'm sorry. Hans, a vigilante, told me to investigate in my own rank. Did you say level, uh, 16? ”

Son of a bitch. Azin clenches his fist secretly, thinking of Hans' freckled face. The son of a bitch leaned against a fictional wooden rack and twisted his head, and his mouth was so light. Then I heard from Hans that Sheikh's daughter, Lunia, knew about Ajin. One of these days, I'm gonna smash some rocks in that light nose. Ajin kicks his tongue small.

“You know my level and are encouraging me to play the party. My ranking must be at the bottom. ”

“Well, by the way, this game doesn't really matter about levels, does it? Hans said he hunted a lot of Blue Wolves. The level of the Blue Wolf monster is 15. But considering how much he's grown, he's been hunting the Blue Wolf since before 16.”

She's a pretty smart bitch. Ajin squints at Daisy, looking at her hard explaining finger. It was true that the level was not important for this game. Skill level, really important. Depending on how high and proficient it is, it may also hunt for beings stronger than itself, depending on the player's basic abilities.

“I think Ajin's skill level will be substantial. Even if the level is the lowest, you'll be the standard to hunt at our party. ”

“... if it's hunting, what are you talking about? ”

“Silver wolf. ”

Daisy smiled cheerfully and answered Azin's question. That's right. Unlike Red, Black and Blue wolves roaming around attacking players by themselves, Silver Wolves that live in the deepest part of the world form swarms of Jell-O. The same can be said for hunting. To take on a single player, you have to face a whole host of wolves on your own.

That's why being inspired is a party play. This was also natural for PC MMORPG games before the introduction of virtual reality games. The unity of players against a large number of monsters, or to hunt powerful monsters. Party play. Unlike exclusive solo play, of course, experience gained by catching one monster is less than solo play because experience is evenly distributed to party members.

But it's fast. A few of the monsters that need to be caught for a long time with solo play. Of course, it's fast and efficient.

“At our party, we have one tanker, one healer and one dealer. ”

That said, Daisy gestures backwards. There came a man and woman who were watching from afar. There's a guy in a heavy plate mail. You carry a large shield behind your back. This is a typical tank. And next to it was a woman with a short wand in a thin robe. Dealer or healer?

“This is the sewer where the tankers are. Next door is Lina, the healer. And I'm the dealer. ”

Daisy explained with a smile on her face. The sewer greets, and Lina bows her head as she notices. Azin answers that and waits for Daisy's word.

“What we're looking for is dealers and tankers. I think Hiller is going to be a cover for Lina, but I'm thinking of recruiting more if I don't have enough. The sewers are doing their part as a tanker, but it's a little hard because there are so many wolves. ”

Daisy scratches her head with a bitter smile. Ajin waits for Daisy to say nothing.

“So you can get a tank... or we can get another dealer for faster hunting." You're a dealer, right? ”

“.. Yes. ”

“Then why don't you come to our party? I heard from Hans that Ajin keeps hunting in the woods all by himself... The Blue Wolf isn't too soloing, but he must be having a hard time with Silver Wolf. ”

It was also with Ajin in mind. Even the Blue Wolf is alone, so it's easy to solo, but the Silver Wolf that forms the pack is too difficult to deal with alone. It would be possible if you work too hard, but can you really get as much efficiency as you want?

“Very well.”

I have no reason to refuse. Azin nods, and Daisy smiles brightly.

“Really?"

“Yes, but I don't think I can hunt right now. I don't think it will be possible until after 18: 00 game time, do you mind? ”

“Oh, yeah. We don't care, do we? ”

After answering first, Daisy asks the sewers and Lina in the back. They exchange their gaze for a moment, then nod their heads.

“That's fine, then. Shall we make a friend request? ”

“Yes, please. ”

Daisy nods, smiling widely. Ajin raises his finger and manipulates the screen, creating a friend window. After sending Daisy a friend request, Daisy immediately accepted it.

‘You're the first friend I've had in this game. ’

Well, it's just a relationship for mutual understanding. Azin looks at the name of the daisy with the green light.

“Then call me at 18: 00. Or I'll wait in front of the fountain. ”

“Yes, please do as you please. What's your emergency? ”

“Yes, I have some business...”

You don't have to talk about the quests you perform. I don't know if I'd call this a quest. Azin hides his shivering smile and gives a good smile.

“Yes, I understand! I'll see you then! ”

Daisy bows to him, and he bows. Then he takes a step back to Shake's house.

‘It's time to catch a fish. ’

Preparation is not necessary. Amity has already formed. The question is how. How to do it, it's important... Azin smiles as he looks at Shake's approaching house.

‘It's important to clean up. ’

After reviewing some of the plans that had been conceived, Ajin grew restless.
