Going Through The Graveyard!
Xertor's eyes opened and he saw that he was just right outside of the graveyard and before him – stood the half-open iron gate. "I have been teleported out?" he mumbled slightly surprised.
A breath of time passed and he nodded in understanding. "I should have figured, I was teleported out because the area I was in was an instanced one."
Xertor walked through the gate – not noticing a large number of players surrounding him.
When the other players saw him enter they all murmured between themselves.
"He is going inside alone?"
"Is he stupid?"
"Leave him be, he will fail and he will form a group like the rest of us."
"Yes, you are right. " the youth sighed.
"No, you are wrong. He must have not completed the starting quest and he must be doing the solo version of that dungeon."
"Brother is smart!"
"It's nothing really," he shrugged his shoulders.
…
The message flashed and Xertor looked around. "The boar I killed yesterday is dead!" Surprised flashed through his eyes. "I thought that it would have reset but it didn't… so why was I teleported out in the first place?"
Xertor shook his head, "No matter."
He looked around and mumbled, "This place is really huge." In the middle, there was a stone road that led into the distance, from his current location he couldn't see where clearly the road had ended. To the left and to the right there were many graves with no end in sight and the graves themselves looked really neat and well maintained. Also by the road grew many beautiful flowers of different colours.
He walked down the road and only after a few steps, he saw a monster before him and this monster was the same boar that he killed a day before.
"I have already killed it and as long as I dodge it, it shouldn't even be able to touch me." Xertor glanced to the top-left and smiled. He smiled because he saw that both his health and mana were recovered and at full. Xertor dashed at the boar and used a skill.
Xertor dodged the boar and punched at it, this time without using a skill.
Following this attack, Xertor dodged again and then he smirked. He dodged every single time and every single time he returned a hit at the boar and all without using a skill once. This dance continued for quite a while.
…
It accelerated and it charged at him. "I can't dodge this," he thought.
<+10 XP>
Xertor smiled, "I did it without losing a single health point," he laughed out loud, "These boars are really simple. As long as I have the means to block its skill from doing damage, I can defeat it without suffering any damage." He once again laughed out.
Once he stopped laughing, he continued going forward. After a few more steps, another boar stood in his path and he once again using the same strategy to deal with it.
…
<+10 XP>
He continued forward and killed four more before coming to a stop, he stopped because before him stood a large iron gate and in both sides of this gate stood an iron fence – the fence that lasted for as long as eyes could see. He looked beyond the gate and saw an entrance to a crypt, he frowned and thought, "Do I have to go there?" he glanced at the top-right and saw the arrow point directly ahead. "It seems I have to pass through this gate."
He touched the gate but immediately a notification message flashed.
Xertor scratched his head and looked around, to the left he saw many graves but there were no monsters and to his right, there were many graves and many monsters and this was more than enough to make it obvious that it was the correct route that he had to go.
But he didn't go there just yet, he first opened the menu and selected the map, he wanted to make sure that it was really the correct route even if it was obvious to him. Once he opened the map he frowned but only for a moment as this frown was replaced by a smile.
"The entire map is in a fog of war and only the areas I have explored personally are visible to me," he slightly laughed and he felt his excitement rise. "This is a real RPG!" he shouted in his heart and excitedly closed the map and walked to the right – the only path that had monsters and he thought that it was the correct path that he should go on. He walked off the road and walked to the path to the right.
Walking a few steps on this path, he once again was stopped by the monsters, the monster was the same boar that he fought before. Xertor entered the battle with confidence as he had killed the same boar multiple times before and like before he managed to dispose of it without running into any problems.
On the path, he encountered several more boars but they posed no threat and the only thing they did was give Xertor some free experience points and he was now only 10 experience points from reaching
Xertor looked around and to the left, in the iron fence, he saw a small passage – a gap in the wall. "Must be there," he thought and then entered through the gap.
After passing through this gap, he found himself in an open area and in the middle of this open area stood a monster but this monster was not the same monster that Xertor had already killed time and time again. This new monster was the boar but it was not the same boar, it was twice its size and it was black, with huge tusks sticking out if its snout.
