009: The Class Selection
Just as I was about to enter the dark part of the forest, I felt an immense pressure from the air. "A-A bloodlust!" I started to ready myself from any possibilities of danger, a shield in my right hand and the azure knife in my left hand. I took sight on each of every side of the forest but nothing happened. "Hm? Maybe I was just being paranoid.." I mumbled. I decided to go back to phase 3 of Makiling Forest and hunt bulldozers once again until the EXP gain was rather small than usual and finally called it a day whilst focusing on each of every side of the forest to avoid the thing that happened to me yesterday (CH-006). [1:20 PM, Wednesday], [LOCATION: Makiling Forest, Entrance] I went to the player's lounge in order to check my inventory since this lounge was owned by the government and is protected by the police and private soldiers. One could say that this was a safe area for players who wanted to check their inventory withbeing targeted by the others. "Hm, this was quite a l

010: Skill Book
And that's how I ended up being a magician once again. Sasha told me that this place was originally a golf course, obviously, it is. But just after the game become reality, this place suddenly transformed into a medieval infrastructure in just a spun amount of time. For me, this place was a town similar to that of a newbie town in "New Life". In New Life, the town was where everything can be found. Such as market place, forging houses, a teleportation gate that instantly teleports you to the designated forest, and a book store. By the looks of it, everything was really similar to that of a newbie town; just like these NPCs. Yes, you heard it right. I too cannot believe that NPCs have existed but I already seen it with my own eyes so I don't have a choice but to believe. But the thing is these NPCs doesn't act like they used to be in "New Life". Their scripted and repeated actions cannot be seen as if they have gained their own ego and human emotions. [5:02 PM, Wednesday], [LOC

011: Territorial War?
I bought these five skill books because of their own unique firepower and usage. Just like the lightning bullet that only consume almost half of the original skill which was a lightning blast. Not only this skill was conservative, but it was also powerful in its own way, just like being shot by a gun. Earthen Shield could help me block almost all magic or long-range attacks while it can also be used for terrain manipulation, partnered up with self-healing that could help me heal my wounds naturally when an attack from the enemy hasn't been blocked by the earthen shield. As for Fire blast, it could consume a lot of mana since it was an ultimate attack but if it was partnered up by mana regeneration, then I would at least regenerate 20-30% of the used mana from initiating the said skill. I wanted to hunt more monsters for the day to try the skills that I'd bought but the night was already coming through and so I decided to go home and sleep early. "M-Mom!" I once again forcibly wok

012: Faulty Inventory
Hunting with the other players was more efficient than hunting alone, is what they say. Well, in fact, it is. But for I who have an unspoken secret, unable to do so. Consider what would happen if someone discovered that I still have the items that I used to have when I was a "New Life" player. Isn't death the only outcome? That is why, for as long as I can, I will never join any party with others. I rest for a while to replenish the mana that I used and decided to open the Gift Pack that I received after becoming a mage. [Gift Pack x1] ([Use]/Discard) For I who was a former player of New Life know that the Gift Pack contained three essential items for each of the different classes. For me, I should receive common staff, common robe, and a common ring. "But what is this?" I mumbled. The Gift Pack that would provide three items only gave a normal-looking necklace, "W-Wait, isn't this a rare tier 4 necklace?" [ITEM: ROSARIO] [TIER 4: RARE] [LEVEL REQUIREMENT: No requirements] [RE

013: Space Distortion
The old man hammered the shield that laying onto the anvil, and just as it landed down, a very loud clang could be heard while the shield itself emitted a strong light that enveloped the entire forging room.He began to approach me, holding the shield with both of his hands, and spoke in a serious tone, "Young man, seems like luck was on your side.""You mean?" I took the shield out of his hand and immediately check its status."So, young man. What do you think?" He asked, straightening his broad shoulders."I-It was perfect, a no, I am rich!" Is this what it feels like holding a soon-to-be cash?"Hold your house down, young man!" [ITEM: SKULL SHIELD] [TIER 2: MYSTICAL] [LEVEL REQUIREMENT: 19][UNIQUE ABILITY: Nullify any form of attack whether it was physically or magically, CD: 05 Hours][RESISTANCES: Resistance to fire][STAT: STRENGTH 10, ENDURANCE 15][DESCRIPTION: ?]I wanted to let the old man fix all the items from my inventory but there's a saying, "Greedy eaters dig their

014: So You Chose Death Huh?
As soon as I realized it, an ogre-like growl could be heard from downstairs while each of its footsteps created a trebling sound from the ground. I told mom, and little sister to go to my room and hide for a while and was thankful that they didn't ask why nor stop me from what I'm about to do. "If it was really an ogre then.. Hah! no time to dilly dally!" I mumbled. I hurriedly went downstairs and as soon as I saw the ogre, I lured it away from our house while I could feel its destructive strength from afar as he chased after me. As I run, I was trying to restrict its movement by firing a lightning bullet from its torso. But as expected, apart from its destructive strength, its magical and physical defense was quite high. "I can't fight him like this!" I yelled as I run and attracted those goblins from each side to my location thus my plan was about to start. I took one of the EXP Boosters from my inventory and immediately drank it. "If I can't fight you, then let me annihilate

015: Authority
Goblins and Ogre, monsters that never existed except for the fact that they were from the hidden dungeons of New Life. I wondered how these unexpected events unfolded in front of my eyes. I initially believed I was only dreaming up until this point, but it's far too real to be classified as such. There was only one way that this could have happened. And so, the hidden dungeons that I was once cleared in New Life had also materialized, and every time I had a seemingly impossible dream, it would soon become a reality. [05:30 AM, Friday], [LOCATION: 5 Star Hotel] I told mom that I need to go somewhere and got her permission after convincing her for about an hour whilst that time when I was about to go outside, a man in a black suit approached me and asked if I had any free time to spare. His expression was far too solemn, as if something had occurred on their end. I followed him and eventually arrived at the reserved room of his supposedly boss. "Please come in," he said as he opene

016: The First Gate
The enormous earthen shield has almost instantly melted in a span amount of time. The soldiers who had witnessed the entire event were flabbergasted, and their gazes toward me changed to one that resembled that of a true leader.[8:30 AM, Friday], [LOCATION: Inside The Gate]Shwoorshh~! "A forest?"As soon as we entered the space crack, a foreboding and dark forest appeared in front of us."There's no monsters at all?"It was really questionable that no living beings could be seen nor felt in this kind of situation but for I, know what kind of surprises this forest may give."Don't let your guard down!" We were about to enter the forest when I suddenly realized that every significant location inside the forest had an obvious trap laid by the goblins and was ready to retaliate once we tried to go further."Ohh?" I muttered."Sir, is there any problem?""Who was your sniper in the group?" I asked the soldiers who were trailing me as I abruptly stopped and turned to face them."I-I am,

017: Anguish Of Death
"New Life", The (VR) Game that I used to play for four years had emerged as a reality. At first, I planned to use the vast knowledge of four years but it seems like the whole thing was bound to change. As soon as I wiped out the horde of goblins pursuing me, I went to the scene where the soldiers' frantic cries could be heard. When I arrived, no living beings could be seen nor felt but noticeable bloodstains were all over the place as if a bloody war had broken out there. "What just happened here?" I muttered. As I was looking for any clue, I noticed the bloodstains that were splattered on the ground trailing the other side of the forest as if someone was desperately running with an open wound. I decided to follow it regardless of the danger and as I was getting closer, the ground seemingly trembled in despair. "Only that monster could produce this particular trembling sound!" I immediately run faster and faster until another horde of goblins could be seen from a distance chasing

018: You've Gone Too Far!
The First D-Rank Dungeon Gate had finally been cleared, but one soldier had died as a result of my foolishness in relying far too heavily on my knowledge of New Life.Just as we came out of the gate, hundreds of soldiers and some unidentified individuals could be seen supposedly waiting for our arrival."Look, someone was coming out of the gate!""Get the medic, now!"The man who had commissioned me rushed toward me without any regard for his safety while grabbing a medicine kit in his left hand."Don't worry I am oka-""Seah, are you okay?" "Papa!""Ahh.. So he came here for her daughter." I mumbled.He then slowly turned his eyes toward me and was about to speak."Don't worry about me and thank those wounded soldiers behind me." [01:00 PM, Friday], [LOCATION: Inside The Tent]Just as I entered the tent, a woman, supposedly the secretary of the one who commissioned me suddenly approached me and told me to sit."First and foremost, let me introduce you to the man in front of you; hi
