8. Level Up

This world is a world with both technology and magic developing together and is thousands of times greater than the planet of the real world.

The place I'm now on is a small island which is of the same size as the Aponix world and later will be known as Aponix island.

There are no starting villages or something, similar to zones this place also practices the same system of district which is run by NPCs and later guilds and government also start building their own cities and live together in peace with NPCs here.

"Let's buy a mask first"

Since everyone who enters the game world retains their original appearance and name it is extremely dangerous to let your status visible to others or to not hide your identity till the world merges.

If by mistake you gain enmity with someone if you do something noteworthy like a game a server wide announcement will be made which can attract the attention of the government and the rich who will try their best to poach you and make you join them.

Lucifer left the café and went to a nearby clothes shop and bought himself a mask, a backpack and a new set of clothes for 20 Arcans.

(1 Arcan = 2 dollars )

Wearing a black hoodie and mask his figure looked a bit suspicious for the passerby players but they didn't pay any attention to him.

Most of the people here are from military or mercenary groups controlled by the underworld and large consortiums while some are rich second generation who entered the game for fun.

Playing a virtual reality game whose pods cost more than a million dollars only rich can afford this.

(Smith's Weapon Store)

Entering the store there were a few players present and buying weapons for themselves.

"Hello dear customer how may I help you"

"I want a crossbow for myself"

"A crossbow? Do you want a normal one or an elemental one"

"A normal please if possible under 50 Arcans and and a few bolts for 10 Arcans"

"Yes sir"

The employee soon got Lucifer a normal crossbow and 10 bolts, after paying for the weapon Lucifer left the shop and went outside the barrier of the district to the forest.

At the outskirts of the forest many were hunting down low level monsters using normal guns and no spots were free for the hunting monsters so Lucifer have to go deeper in the forest.

The whole game is like reality all the physical stats you have in the real world will be shown in the game though after reaching a high level you could gain supernatural physical strength but being low level don't get you anywhere.

Lucifer had already attained his unique skill Anótatos by which his limitation of strength which is restricted to level and race got removed and excercising like crazy for past two months with a boost of accelerated growth he was way stronger than an average human.

After going deep enough Lucifer finally found a monster a pair of wild wolves.

Focusing his eyes on them he could see their status.

[Wild Wolf Level.3]

[Wild Wolf Level.2]

Lucifer aimed at the level 3 wild wolf first and shot a bolt straight for his eyes.

"Awoo"

Having an eye pierced the wolf cried in pain and the other one also got startled but before he could react another bolt came into his way and directly hit at his heart.

It fell down and whimpered but Lucifer didn't stop and fired another shot towards the second eye of the wolf making him blind, he shot more bolts towards the injured wolves and killed them.
