For anyone wondering about the romance, it will take a long time as this is not the focus of the book.

MMORPG: Shadow Hunter

The players were looking for a fight, and there was nothing that would stop them. Alex had killed some of their members and had stated that he was not scared of them. That was more than enough to make the guild leader of Death Coffin act and come after him. The group of four players in front of him were among the most powerful members of the guild.

"And why are you so certain you can win against me?" Alex asked, staring at the four players.

One of them laughed, "Are you serious? You may be a higher level than us, but there is no way you can fight against four of us! You are dead!"

Alex chuckled, "Are you sure I am alone?"

He grabbed an item from his inventory and utilized it. It was the item that allowed him to summon skeletons to fight beside him! The skeletons were level 35 (that was the highest level they would get), so Alex would soon stop using such an item, but it was still pretty useful.
