Chapter 7 : Classes

After one final look at his stats, Leiu got up and started roaming the forest to locate the beginner's village, and that took him 1 hour, he spent a whole hour to get out of the thick forest tree, find other players and finally find the beginner's village.

The first thing he did was obviously finish the quests, well technically, he already finished them, he just had to go to the person who gave him the quest and get the experience and the reward.

The first quest he returned was the one that needed him to gather snowberries.

"Oh my! Thank you for getting the SnowBerries"

The old lady thanked him and handed him some coppers

+15 Coppers

+2% experience

'2%? Ugh...'

His Level was 10, so of course he would get this little experience, nonetheless, he felt regret, it was a waste of time to do it, but it's too late to regret...

Next thing he did was hand in the other quests.

"Thank you, young adventurer! You got rid of the Bees! You don't even know how much they annoyed us.."

+30 Coppers

+5% experience
..

As he handed the 3 quests, it was time for the final quest, the one for the rabbit fur, as he handed it, he was surprised by what the NPC said.

"Thank you for bringing the rabbit fur, I'll surely give you enough money for your hard work"

Leiu nodded at the middle-aged man as he took the coppers, but the next line is what astonished him.

"Ah ah! If only you had the Superior Rabbit fur, young man, be sure to contact me if you get your hands on it!"

'Hmm, is this a hidden quest or is it because I already have that?'

Leiu smirked and replied

"What if I have it? What will you give me in return?"

Upon hearing him, the middle-aged man jumped from surprise, he looked around for a second before holding Leiu's hands and saying

"You do? Y-you have it?!"

Leiu shook his hands to free himself from the man's grasp, then he said with an annoyed tone

"Yes."

He was annoyed as he didn't like skinship at all, not in-game or in reality, he, who is an introvert have very bad communication and much worse when dealing with clingy people, it's just that he can talk normally to NPC because they are not real but if it's a complete stranger in the real world or even a co-worker, he keeps his distance and remains silent.

"Oh my god! I can't believe it! C-come with me inside!"

As he said that, he stretched his hand to grab Leiu, but the latter avoided the man's hand, after angrily staring at the man, he quietly followed him.

The middle-aged man sold Health Potions of various sizes, there was also Mana Potions which recover mana and various things which Leiu didn't know.

"S-show it to me, I need to see it.."

Once they were inside, he eagerly looked at Leiu, who in return, retrieved the fur from his inventory and handed it to the NPC, he wasn't afraid that he will steal it as it was not reality.

The man inspected the fur as if he was looking at diamond or gold, and holding it as if holding his child, it was funny, as for Leiu, he patiently waited for him.

Leiu was expecting a good offer or reward for the fur, if it wasn't beneficial to him, he'll just keep it until he finds a good use for it.

"It's r-real!!!! I still can't believe it.. it'-"

Leiu interrupted him while saying

"Are you going to buy it or what? I don't have all day"

It was actually true, he didn't have all day, he had work tomorrow, it should be about 14 PM right now, and he should go sleep in 16 or 17 PM as he had work at 22 PM, it's rough, but there's nothing he could do about it.

"Y-yes yes! If you're willing to sell, then I'll buy, definitely buy!"

The man held the fur, hugging it with all his strength, he really didn't want to let go of it, Leiu was sure that it's a rare item, but for him it was useless, so why not profit from it?

"Please wait, I'll be right back."

The middle-aged man carefully put the fur on a nearby wooden table and went to a room not far away, Leiu just sighed and waited for him.

Not even a minute passed and the man came back while holding a box in his hand, he brought it and put it in front of Leiu and said after opening it.

"Please examine it and see if it's to your liking, I will also add 5 silvers!"

Heart Pendant : +3 agility / +2 wisdom
Quality : normal

'Not bad.'

Leiu unconsciously nodded, which made the man even happier, without wasting any second, he took 5 silver coins from his pouch and gave them to the customer, so like that, Leiu got rid of a useless fur while getting a good pendant, a pretty good deal.

Heart Pendant equipped!

He equipped the Pendant and headed for the blacksmith to buy an armor and maybe better gloves and boots, they cost a lot, but he already had enough money.

5 silvers from the man from earlier, almost 2 silvers from the 4 wolves and 2 silvers from the countless Bees and Rabbits. It's 9 silvers, which is a good amount for a beginner, it's enough to buy good equipment.

Once he entered the blacksmith and saw the items and the prices, Leiu was really dumbstruck, not only the prices were bullshit! The items were horrible, added low stats and low durability.

He could only grit his teeth and buy an armor despite it being ordinary, plus its price was a whopping 2 silvers! That's straight out robbing!

Beginner's leather armor : +1 Vitality / +1 Strength

After equipping the leather armor, Leiu checked his stats again.

TITLE : Invincible
Level: 10 Class: NONE
-
Strength: 22
Intelligence: 19
Agility: 22
Wisdom: 18
Vitality: 20
Dexterity: 18
- - - -
Health: 20/20
Mana: 22/22
Stamina: 23/23

The armor didn't add a lot, but the pendant was sure useful, its appearance was hideous, bronze with a black gem inside of it, it was extremely small, you can't see it even if you are near the person wearing it, moreover, the leather armor covered it even more, but it's not like Leiu wanted to show it off.

As he finished preparing everything and bought what's necessary, which was 10 Health potions which recovered 10 points, they cost 20 copper each but it was worth it, they would save his life many times in the future, especially in critical situations.

Of course, you can't use potions continuously, once you used one, you had to wait at least 30 seconds, it was a long time in a fight but that's how it is.

'It's finally time to pick a class! I can't wait'

The village became a bit empty as most of the people went hunting and killing monsters, basically grinding, so besides a dozen of people recruiting party members, flirting or doing simple quests being a 'delivery boy' like every other game, the village was quite calm, unlike when the game opened. After all, it has been a few hours, so people must have gone to work, school or whatever.

To pick a class, you need to go to a special NPC, the assistant who helped him create the character already informed him. It was an old man at the back of the village, every person must go there and pick a class, obviously, it was not instant, you have to do a quest, but it was said that it's easy quests.

Leiu went back to the back of the village, there was literally no one, it's either no one reached Level 10, or they already reached it and got a class, but it's sure that not a lot of people reached Level 10 or there would be more people here.
That was strange since he wasted a lot of time hunting Bees and Rabbits so his leveling wasn't that fast, this can only mean that he's behind.

There was only an old man, he looked very old, face full of wrinkles and a white beard, he was sitting near a pond and silently reading a dusty and thick book.

He didn't seem to notice Leiu who was walking toward him, or maybe he did but still ignored him.

Leiu stopped near the old man, expecting the other party to talk to him, but nop! Not even a sound came out of the old man, apart from a fast glance, nothing happened.

"Old man, aren't you the one who gives class choices?"

Hearing Leiu, the old man put the book down and stroked his beard while saying

"Indeed I am. You... you're a fine young man, hahaha, let's not waste much time, here are your choices.

⚫ Dark Knight (Unique)

⚫ Blade Dancer(Unique)

⚫ Swordsman(Normal)

⚫ Blade Berserker(Rare)
