Chapter 22: The World Is Shocked part 1

"Ancient Myth main server notification: congratulation for player XXXX for being the first player to create an SSS-rank skill. Rewarding: 1 Gold equipment, 1000 gold, and 1 special gift".

The notification sent all players into a frenzied state and many were in disbelief, especially those who tried to create a high-rank skill knew how hard it was to create one, yet someone already created the highest-ranked skill which should be impossible at this stage of the game.

"Impossible how can someone create an SSS-rank skill the bastard must have cheated" someone inside a village exclaimed only to be jeered by others

"Are dumb in this game it's impossible to cheat since the system is in control over everything, however for someone to achieve that means that this game have some real monsters"

"Damn I'm struggling with creating just an A-rank skill yet someone already creating SSS-rank skills where is justice in this"

"Investigate no matter what I must know how did he or she do it"

Those types of conversations were everywhere, some accused him of cheating while others wanted to know the secret to his ability to achieve that.

However since Tony made his name not appear all those who wanted to find him can only search for the unknown.

In the core area of Rukur Fields, one could see a group of Grassland Wolves every hundred meters or so. That place could be said to be a forbidden area for Level 7 and lower players.

However, inside this forbidden area a party of five a Priest, Berserker, Hunter, Thief, and a Mage waged battle against more than ten Grassland Wolves and they were dominating the fight.

Wearing a suit of blood-red armor, Falling Dust level 6 berserker valiantly battled. He was like a War God, a simple slash from his had sent three Grassland Wolves flying. Simultaneously, he was dodging the claws of the remaining two Wolves. If an expert were to see Falling Dust battle, their eyes might have popped out of their sockets by now.

Although his single slash seemed simple, he struck the vital points of all three Grassland Wolves. His dodges were even more accurate. It was like he possessed eyes at the back of his head. Without even turning his head, he was able to avoid the claw strikes that came from behind him.

On the other side, the level 6 Mage Sky Flame was like an artillery cannon. A single Flame Blast from him had taken away a third of the Grassland Wolf's HP. Just when the Grassland Wolf switched aggro and was about to rush at him, the man, himself, revealed a smile of disdain.

As his mouth chanted the final verse of an incantation, his hands finished writing another incantation. Following this, 20 yards before him collapsed and three Grassland Wolves found themselves trapped inside and suddenly a flame dragon appeared. The dragon spewed scorching hot flames, immediately decimating the trapped Grassland Wolves.

Sky Flame's control over magic was extremely subtle, reaching its pinnacle. His chanting and tracing were even more extraordinary to the point of using double-casting naturally like flowing water.

Normally, the two skills [Earth Collapse] and [Fire Dragon's] are both high-rank skills; other players would have needed 2.5 seconds to complete both actions yet Sky Flame only needed 1.2 to accomplish that.

The level 5 Priest Life Wonder was a girl that looked both graceful and stunning, her grasp of timing and healing was so exceptional that none of her teammate's HP was less than 30%. She was like the Goddess of Life on the battlefield; each of her [Heal] is fast and accurate.

On another side of the battlefield the level 6 Thief, which was a girl, was roaming around like a Messenger of Death, Thief class is known to have the best survivability on the battlefield because of the many lifesaving skills they have.

Silent Butterfly appeared and disappeared without notice as she made the Grassland Wolves helpless in front of her deadly timed attacks, many times Falling Dust and Sky Flame's lives would have been in danger if not for Silent Butterfly appearing like a ghost and saving the situation.

All of them were exceptional and strong experts at the top of the gaming world, however, the one who was the true monster of this party was the Hunter Life Snatcher who already reached level 7, his ability to command the battle was out of this world as every order he gave was at the essence of the matter as if the battle was at the palm of his hand nothing can hide from his eyes.

As for his combat power can only be described as monstrous, each of his arrows was lethal and fierce yet silent and unpredictable. The bow in his hand was giving a unique glow that not a common weapon could give, the glow of an Epic weapon.

The Wolf king knew that Life Snatcher was the biggest problem for his pack yet no matter what it did no wolf could get 5 yards from him.

After taking care of the wolves only their king with 5% of its HP still alive, Life Snatcher suddenly appeared at the Wolf King blindspot and fired three arrows simultaneously with a great speed that the arrows left an afterimage. It seemed as if Life Snatcher had only fired three normal arrows, but in reality, he had launched six, each arrow moving in tight pairs.

Banggggg!

-130 -100 -70 -90 -100 -110

Six massive damages appeared above the Wolf King as it howled in pain for the last time before slumbering dead.

"As expected from young master Xander no player can match your attack power" Silent Butterfly said as she looked at Life Snatcher with a worshiping gaze

"Of course, no one can match him because he's a true genius that is going to be the next leader of the Dragon-Phoenix Dojo" Sky Flame is the right-hand man for Xander so he knows of his abilities more than others.

"That notification really shocked me to think there's someone who would create an Sss-rank skill before you Xander"

Falling Dust said with a frown, his words made the others enter a bad mode.

"When I first heard the notification I thought the system was playing a prank on us" Life Wonder said with a hint of puzzlement "big brother Xander you were the first player to merge martial art with the game to create a unique style and you created many high-rank skills like [Moon Chaser] you used earlier yet you exclaimed that creating an SSS-rank skill at the moment is impossible because of the harsh requirements yet someone was able to achieve the thing that a genius of your caliber found unachievable" all of turned around and looked at Xander, seeing his smile made them all calm down.

Xander was a young man that can be described as handsome and his red hair added a unique charm to him, his eyes always looked calm and peaceful to the point where anyone who saw him would automatically calm down because Xander gave the feeling that everything is under his control.

At the age of twenty-two, he's an absolute famous genius because the Dragon-Phoenix Dojo one of the top 10 organizations in the world already preparing him to be the next headmaster of the dojo which is a huge matter because any organization would not announce their next leader easily, however after Xander showed his talent he awed the world to the point of many saying that his talent in martial arts is unmatched through history.

"Your trust and believe you all put in me make me happy however the world is vast and there are many geniuses in this world that we don't know about let alone those that established themselves as a household name already like Mark from Martial Progeny dojo, Liu Xue from the Liu Clan, Felix from the Star Twilight Corporation and Layla from the Dream association are all in no way inferior to me in any area, and those monstrous geniuses around the world that either chose to hide their talent or not bothering about the world attention that's why we have to never be too proud with our achievement since we don't truly know how high our standing in this vast world"

When Xander said those names his friends shuddered because those four and Xander were dazzling geniuses of this generation. And from what their elders said there's many others that aren't worse then them in any way some might even be better than them in some fields.

"Besides that this game is different and special because it can make an unknown person into a household name easily which is why all people around the world are paying the Ancient Myth game too much attention and the sent all the talented members they groomed to play it"

Xander said with a smile as he looked at the sky "maybe a hidden gem entered the game and already stepped on the path of grandness" a sharp light reflected on Xander eyes and a peerless aura emitted from his body as his blood started boiling thinking about the many challenges in his path, see that the others were all looking at him with even more respect.

"Let's forget about this person's identity since we'll definitely meet in the future for now we must reach level 10 and leave the village area since the game will truly start after that so we must be among the first to get as many advantages as we can for our guild" his words ignited their fighting spirit as they looted the dead Grassland Wolves while Silent Butterfly started looting even more of them.

Inside the game, it was a mass as all the players were talking about the same thing, and in the real world, the news of a player creating an SSS-rank skill made a huge uproar inside the Miracle Corporation which was the company that developed the game, as soon as the news reached them a board meeting happened with all the upper echelon and those related to the game were invited.
