Level up

"With this, I guess it's time I level up!"

Two Hours Later,

Jayden was seen running through the labyrinth of digital houses in the Backwater District and in his hand was a bronze Loot Crate. Behind him was a group of angry Players, all targeting their various weapons at him.

"Shit, why are there still chasing me" He worriedly thought to himself, taking a sharp turn to the left trying shake off his pursuers.

Judging from his current predicament, it was obvious that he stole the Loot Crate from the mob of Players.

"Give us back that Crate you bastard!" The Mob yelled, blasting Jayden with their various projectile weapon.

"What of if I don't want to!" He answered, wearing a scrawny smile.

"Then we're gonna kill you!" They yelled continuing their hour long pursue.

"Shit, I've got to end this quickly…. I've definitely racked up a ton of Fatigue" He worriedly thought to himself, activating his Status tab.

"Damnit, I'm getting tired by the minute. I'm sure those guys are too…. That means, I can use it now" He thought to himself

Like magic, Jayden dashed two times faster than he usually does. Even if it wasn't much, he was still able to create a little gap between himself and the angry mob of players that were after him.

Few minutes after he activated his skill 'Sprint', he then able to shake off his pursuers, eventually losing them in the labyrinth of Backwater District. Seeing this, he halted behind an alley to seemingly catch his breath before he then continues his quest.

"Finally….. Finally, I…I lost…those guys!"

"Damn, they're really persistent"

'Alright, I guess I'll take look at what's in here" He said, referring to the Loot Crate in his hand.

"Great, I really needed some Mana pills"

Without any form of disturbance, eight tiny blue pills appeared right in the palm of his hands.

"Hmm, Mana pills. For each one taken, I recover five of my lost MP" He thought to himself, curiously staring at the blue pills.

In one big gulp, he swallowed the pills and just like the instructions, Jayden began to recover all his lost MP, till it got back to it's original state at Sixty. Not only that, the Fatigue he had racked up in his body due to the high speed, slowly dissipated.

"Good, now to take a look at my daily quest log and get me some cool rewards" He mischievously thought to himself, wearing a scrawny grin.

"Whoa.. another Rare grade Equipment.. Awesome" He brightly commented as his previous gloves slowly disappeared and Razor appeared.

[DEFENSE GAUNTLET HAS BEEN STORED IN INVENTORY]

"Now my outfit is perfect!" He promptly added, trying to compliment himself.

Unlike before he newly came into the game, Jayden was currently wearing a dark grey colored bomber jacket which had tiny blue lines running through it, black colored pant, a utility belt which had two gun holsters attached to it by the sides and finally, a pair of heavy artillery boots. With these, he was currently looking like an actual Special agent.

The Bomber Jacket was actually a Rare grade Equipment called 'Dexter armor', which he got from his third Loot Crate.

"Down to my other rreward"

"Since that's taken care of, I'd head on to my Stats…" He said as slowly stroked his chin.

"I've got twenty points and Four major Stats to fill up…. I guess I'll invest five stay point each"

In accord to his voice, five points were immediately invested into his various Stats, drastically increasing them to their peak.

"Good, now I can get going" He said as he slowly walked out of the alley.

After a brief moment of silence, he noticed a sudden tab display. Unlike before, this tab didn't have it's usual Azure color, rather it glowed and radiated with a dark crimson color.

[MISSION QUEST]

"Huh, Mission quest. What's this about?" He confusedly stared at the flashing crimson tab.

[MISSION QUEST]

Immediate after reading the words inscribed into his system, he then noticed something strange. Bronze colored digital humanoids began to spawn spontaneously around him, trapping him in their midst in the process.

[SENTIENTS: DIGITAL LIFE FORMS THAT SPAWN HAPHAZARDLY IN THE GAME, WITH A SOLE PURPOSE TO ELIMINATE PLAYERS.

THEY ARE DIVIDED INTO FIVE DIFFERENT GRADES; BRONZE, SILVER, GOLD, PLATINUM AND DIAMOND. EACH GRADE ALSO POSSEAS THREE LEVELS; LOW, MID AND HIGH.

PLAYER SHOULD NOTE, FOR EVERY LOW LEVEL SENTIENT KILLED, YOU WILL GAIN FIVE EXP POINTS]

"Oh well, I mean this should be an information given to players at the start of the game… Well, what do I know?" He worriedly exclaimed taking a battle pose.

"Another thing that's awfully different from the game, the existence of Sentients. In the original game, they weren't any Sentient hell bent on eliminating Players.

This is great, I'm one step closer in discovering the truth behind this reality!" He thought to himself as he prepared to brawl.

!Boom!Pium!

Instantaneously, the Sentients began to simultaneously attack Jayden by delivering a barrage of laser blasts which he evader brilliantly.

One by one, Jayden rapidly slaughtered the Sentients by dashing towards and slicing through their heads and chest, utterly killing them.

!Zoom!

With his Sprint still activated and heightened agility, he dashed swiftly evading a decent amount of laser beams the Sentients blasted at him. Despite this, a few majority of their still impacted with him blasting towards the ground.

Jayden immediately bolted towards the pack of Sentients in front of him, brutally stabbing and killing two, that stood in his way. Getting rid of those two gave him entrance into the midst of the pack, where he immediately began to prep his final blow.

Presently, Jayden was in midst of ten bronze Sentients.

All the accumulated damage he incurred, immediately got released as an omnidirectional wave of Azure energy, which utterly destroyed all the remaining Sentients, giving Jayden the victory.
