Grinding

Ethan looked at the wooden sword in his hands. He then looked at the boars in front of him. Looking around the area he saw many players hitting the bours then running. 

"AHHH!" looking at the man flying in the air Ethan shook his head "morons" 

Hitting the bour once Ethan saw a faint red circle. With a quick motion he slashed downward. 

[Skill [Slash] has been activated!] 

[Stamina: -1] 

-Thwak 

"RAAG!" 

Seeing another red spot Ethan attacked again. 

[Skill [Slash] has been activated!] 

[Stamina: -1] 

-Thwak 

Then again 

[Skill [Slash] has been activated!] 

[Stamina: -1] 

[You've killed [Wild Boar]!]

You've gained 35 Experience points!] 

Ethan then looked at his stamina bar. 

[Stamina: 5/8] 

"Now how do I regenerate it?" 

After waiting for three minutes, his stamina started to go up. 

"so, I basically have to stand still for three minutes" Ethan mused with a frown. 

"AHHHH!" 

Hearing a scream behind him Ethan glanced back to see a man charging toward him with his wooden sword raised. 

His brow twitched at the last moment Ethan stepped back and tripped the man. 

-Thwak 

Then he whacked the man on the head with his wooden sword. 

"You shouldn't shout if your gonna attack from behind dumbass" 

[You've killed Player [ShadowStrikerX]!] 

[You've gained 150 experience points!] 

[You've leveled up!] 

'1-150?' 

Ethan stood there in shock but quickly shook himself out of it. However, a frown appeared on his face "I can't just go around killing people" 

This isn't because of his morals but due to the consequences, it has. If you kill a person the NPC's will be wary of you. Kill five or more then you will be barred from high-end stores. Then 10 or more you'd be hunted down by the guards and be thrown in prison. But if you have over 30 or more, you'd be immediately executed. 

The indicator is the arrow on the player's head. 

If the person's arrow was red then they would be imprisoned but if black then they would die. 

"Speaking of which what happens if you die?"

***

[You've died]

[Cause of death: Killed by player Eushin]

[Your account has been terminated] 

"FUCK!" a young man shouted in his room.  

*BAM*  

He threw the helmet on the floor. His face was red with rage, and he glared at the wall.  

This guy didn't see Ethan kill those boars. What this player was thinking was he could kill three players which would boost his stats to kill the monsters but it seems he failed

"What stats should I use?" 

The normal way would be to use half for agility and half for his strength however considering Ethan was planning to use magic in the late game he decided to put half of the points to magic.

Ethan decided to increase his luck a little bit. If there is a luck stat, then there are probably some sort of random item boxes. 

To Ethan, it was something he needed as it would be easier to get what he wanted. 

But then Ethan's gaze looked at the players. 

When Ethan killed the player, he leveled up. So, what happens if he kills more players? He of course could level up. However, he was hesitating. The reason was simple. 

"Would the NPCs change their attitude?" 

Picking up the wooden sword of the player he killed. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. 

"Why don't we test that theory?" 

Looking at the players the cold glint grew sharper as a grin appeared on his face. 

*** 

[You Leveled up!] 

The player grinned when he looked at the notification "This is amazing!" 

He watched the progress of the game when he was annoyed. When he read about the patch notes fantasies filled his head. He smiled "Ha-ha soon maybe I could build a harem!" 

He exclaimed while laughing. 

However, before he could do anything he felt something wack his head. Before he could do anything else another wack hit his face. 

Gritting his teeth, the man dodged the next attack. 

"You bastard!" the man then attacked however it was blocked "You should use your skill" 

"Huh?" 

Before he could do anything, his screen turned black. 

[You've died] 

*** 

Ethan picked up the sword. 

[You've Leveled up!] 

[You Leveled up!] 

Ethan then turned his gaze to the other players. Ethan stayed still and waited for his stamina to recover before he attacked another player. 

Before the player could react, Ethan hit him again and again. 

[You've leveled up] 

After killing the player he then started to return to the town. He saw the guards taking a look at him but left him alone. He was going to a shop that allowed the players to sell items.

"Let's see" As Ethan looked over the status window he thought about what to do. Putting the state points he wanted he looked at his stats again.

Nodding Ethan then opened the door to the shop. Entering he saw many items. Heads of many monsters were on the walls as well as some weapons. 

Making his way to the counter he saw a man who seemed to be in his late 30s with messy brown hair and an unkempt beard. His bloodshot eyes narrowed.

"I'd like to sell this" Bringing out the wooden sword he placed it on the table. The man then started to examine the sword. 

"5 coins," he said

[Would you like to sell item [Wooden Sword]?]

[Y/N]

"Yea sure" Ethan replied calmly. Despite being calm he was impressed by the price. He assumed that the wooden sword would at least sell it for 1 coin. 

[Coins: 5]

Grinning like an idiot Ethan decided to hunt more monsters until his curser turned green.
