Chapter 7 – New class and new place.

The trio headed together into a deeper parts of the hunting ground, towards the south.

"By the way, I couldn't find anywhere the iron ores anywhere. None of the NPCs were selling it or anything besides the copper ore."

"Wait really?" – said Hype.

"There is possibility that you may get it from another settlement and mining site. In beta those were only available options of getting it, having NPC sell it to you or you mine it yourself."

"I don't think we encounter any place where we can mine anywhere. Anyway, another settlement?"

"Yea. During beta period you would originally start playing in grass playing, no town, no village or anything. You could get two one of the 4 villages by going either, sough, east, west or north. You could call those 4 villages the beginner villagers."

"Hm? Wait, if going in any of those 4 directions leads any of those villages and we are moving in straight line to south, does that mean that you want to travel to one of the villages?"

"Pretty much yes. The farther away you are from the beginner area, the stronger monsters are. The plan is to relocate to the south village and start hunting there."

"This may results in you getting higher grade materials from monsters and maybe the village there will sell you some iron ores." – said Kitty.

"Me and Hype are level 35, while you are level 33. The monsters that we should encounter while traveling to the south city will probably be between level 30-36. They shouldn't possess much of the threat to use at our current state."

"In beta there was 8 settlements in total, 4 villages and 4 towns."

Monsters levels during beta period.

Beginner area – Level 1-30

The first village area – Level 31 - 45

Area near the first town – Level 46-60.

"During beta period the max level that player could have was 60, but apparently on the official game site it was announced that the max level was changed to 80 and apparently it will increased further as the time passes."

"Also, the areas where players could go to was limited. Pretty much there was an invisible wall blocking you." – explained kitty.

"So, wait, there is no longer boundary?"

"No, apparently there still are. The developer stated that in future updates the boundary limit will changed alongside player max level. However apparently the boundary alongside the player max level was changed on the game official launch, meaning there are areas that were not explored yet past level 60."

"There is also the fact that many areas were change and new types of monsters were added, so it won't be surprisingly if some boss monsters were replaced or had different fighting styles and other things with some mobs changes as well."

"So pretty much "Keep your guard up all the time", yes?"

"Pretty much. Honestly, in beta there was not really many powerful monsters and you could easily farm. However now there was that bear for example that almost destroyed us because we literally knew nothing about it and it was also strong like hell." – said Kitty.

"Oh, by the way is this new monster?" – said Forge while pointing his finger.

[Forest Spider – Level 32] x 5

"Oh, I think so." – replied Kitty.

The trio of the players took out their weapons and were ready to fight.

The battle between players and monster began with Kitty rushing straight at the enemy alone. The spider monsters leaped at the Kitty.

"[Quick Burst]."

[Quick Burst]

[Skill type: Active] [Cost: 50 MP and 50 SP.] [Cooldown: 3 Minutes and 30 seconds.] [Skill Level: 5/5]

[Increase user speed for 10%/15%/20%/25%/(30%) for 3/3.5/4/4.5/(5) seconds.]

Before the spiders landed on top of her, she quickly got out of there and then attacked the creatures from behind.

The next attack came from Hype and Forge while both of them using great swords.

One of the spiders that got hit by the swords turned towards Forge and spited the green liquid at him. Forge instantly used one of his arms as the shield in order to cover his face.

[You have been poisoned.]

"?!"

"Guys don't let them hit you! They have poison!" – shouted Forge, warning his teammates.

While Kitty was attacking enemies from the front, Hype and Forge were attacking enemy from the front.

The party of three continue fighting against the monster until all of them were defeated.

"Fuck me. Why the developers putted the poison right on the start?!" – said Hype while holding a potion.

"Is the poison damage always that annoying? I was already forced to use potion after only getting hit once by that attack."

"That's why poison using type enemy are hard to deal with. If we don't have any potion that can remove poison effect or a skill that can do that as well. We pretty much will end up taking tons of damage every time." – said Hype.

"Should we just focus on the long range and only use the spears?"

"Yea, that maybe the only option right now. Anyway, what we got from those monsters anyway?"

[You received: Forest Spider Leg, Forest Spider Silk, Forest Spider Fang, Forest Spider Poison Sack.]

"We got bit of this and that. Most of the stuff we got are spider legs, any idea if this can be used Forge?"

"Em…I don't know. Maybe you can cock it? There was an [Chief] class in options so..."

(Can you even eat a spider in the first place?) – though all of them.

{{FUN FACT: There are species of the spiders that are edible in real life.}}

The trio after short recovery beginned once again heading south killed any monsters along the way, until they finally arrived at their destination.

[Dark Forest Village]

"Y-yay…. We survive. Somehow." – said Kitty with barely any HP left and laying on top of the Forge.

[Kitty – Level 37]

[Hype – Level 37]

[Forge – Level 36]

"Why, in the bloody hell, most of those monsters were those forest spiders?! Do developers want people to die?!" – said Hype while being carried on the Forge back.

"Is it always like this on the start?"

"No!" – said both Kitty and Hype.

"Let's just sell stuff and quickly buy antidote before poison kills us." – stated Kitty.

[Party remaining HP potions: 0]

Moment later.

[You are no longer poisoned.]

"I think I will hate this place." – said Hype.

"Agree." – replied both Kitty and Forge.

"Fuck me, we were expecting new monsters to appear here, but we were not expecting that the all old monsters were replaced with brand new ones. This made fighting monsters harder since we didn't knew their attack patterns." – said Hype.

"Anyway, guys. I have 3 points right now. I need the second combat type class. Any suggestions?"

"[Warrior] or [Fighter], since both [Blacksmith] and [Advance Blacksmith] increases your strength stat, it could go well with either of those. I don't recommend a magic oriented class since you would need intelligent stat for that." – said Kitty.

"But first it may be better to see if you would unlock any new class if you max out that [Insectian Warrior] first. Maybe something interesting will pop up." – Added Kitty.

"Ok."

Forge fallowed the Kitty suggestions and leveled up the [Insectian Warrior – Beetle].

[[Insectian Warrior – Beetle] has reached level 20/20.]

[New classes option related to the class [Insectian Warrior – Beetle] has been unlocked.]

"Oh, you were right. I got new classes related to it."

"So, what you get."

[Insectian Warrior – Stag Beetle]

Class that focuses on offensive abilities and transforms a body of the users when the class is picked. The changes in the form are permanent.

[Insectian Warrior –Rhino Beetle]

Class that focuses on defensive abilities and transforms a body of the users when the class is picked. The changes in the form are permanent.

[Insectian Warrior – Scarab Beetle]

A class that focuses on magic type skills and transforms a body of the users when the class is picked. The changes in the form are permanent.

"Each class have something about transforming user body when picked and the changes are permanent. Is this good?"

"No idea. Before there were classes that had ability to transform, but they were temporarily transformations. There wasn't a class that had permanent change of appearance affect." – said Kitty.

"Hm…. I don't have any magic related classes so I don't think picking scarab will be useful really."

"You two are already damage focuses, so there is no real reason for me to pick stag beetle."

"That leaves only rhino beetle. Honestly speaking, I want to get that. What do you think?"

"Eh, won't hurt, I think. Go for it." – said Hype.

"Yea, going for the tank type class may prove useful in future or something." – said Kitty.

[WARNING! Picking this class will results in you losing access to the fallowing classes: [Insectian Warrior – Scarab Beetle] and [Insectian Warrior – Stag Beetle]! Are you absolutely sure with your decision?]

"Em, guys? A message popped up when I was trying to pick Rhino Beetle. It says that I won't be able to pick Stag Beetle or Scarab Beetle if I pick the Rhino Beetle."

"Oh, well that is new as well. I don't think there was something like that ever in beta." – said Kitty.

"So…. Should I go with the rhino anyway?"

"Well, I guess so?" – said Kitty.

[You have acquired: [Insectian Warrior –Rhino Beetle].]

[Warning! Class [Insectian Warrior –Rhino Beetle] will affect your body. Prepare for the change.]

"?!"

As soon as message window appeared in front of the Forge, he felt like he suddenly got dizzy and when tried holding his head with his hand, his moves became extremely stiff to the point where he could barely move.

Moment later, entire Forge body would go full light brown, before then growing up and cracking, revealing new Forge appearance.

His back changed shaped, his build became now bit bulkier as well as grown in size, becoming 2 meters tall. He also had a rhino beetle horn with the length of 35 centimeters with split end.

"That…. That did not felt nice. Is it over?"

"I think so? You definitely look different." – said Kitty.

"So, what did you get?"

"Let me see…. I got a passive and change skill?"

[Insectian Beetle Rhino Might]

[Passive] [Level: 1/10]

[You now posses' power of the Rhino Beetle. Your body has been evolved to handle this new found power and its new aspects.]

You now posse's rhino beetle horn that can be used in many different ways and possess might of the rhino beetle.

Your [Physical Defense] and [Magic Defense] stat as well as your max weight limit of the items you can use and wear have been increased by (1%)/2%/3%/4%/5%/6%/7%/8%/9%/10%.]

[Beetle Wings]

[Change] [Skill Level 1/10]

[You are able to hide and take out your beetle wings at any moment. When the beetle wings are out, you are able to use them for many different things but with few limitations.

Using your wings will use your SP continuously and you can't use them if they are damaged or destroyed.

The level of this skill will increase the power of the wings a decrees SP usage by small amount.]

"I have wings?!"

"Wait really?! Let me see them!"

Forge revealed the pair of insect wings on his back and moment later they beginned moving at fast rate. The Forge body beginned lifting up in the air until-

"….Em. Did I even moved a slightly away from the ground?"

"Well, you are not touching it, I think you are few centimeters away from it? Can't you go higher?"

"Nope. That is my limit."

Forge hid his wings and fallen on the ground.

"That uses way too much SP as well. I don't think it will be even good in combat or anything. Kind of disappointing."

"Maybe it will get useful once you get another advance class linked to this class?"

"Maybe. My passive skill I got with increases both my defense, weight limit and gives me a horn. It says that it can be used in many different ways, so does that mean I can use it to attack people with it or something?"

"Well, you will have to find out."

"So pretty much I'm just a bug man with a horn now. Great."
