《Story of a Noob in a game world》
Dad You Promised!
Prologue
The Promise
Marshall Tucker, a man in his forties sat on the couch in front of his daughter. He had on some basic blue jeans and a grey short sleeve short on it, his hair was a buzzcut style as if taking great care of it despite his age he kept a clean profile. he was well defined he never could shake the habit of working out. In front of him was his daughter, they were all that each other had left after his wife left him for some famous actor he had never seen him before but he had caught the text messages his ex-wife had sent him. He imminently divorced her and focused solely on work and his daughter.
His daughter was a beauty, she had long blonde hair that reached her mid-back, it was tied in a ponytail. She applied to make up which he hated mainly cause she was just now 19 in his eyes not old enough to wear it, but it made her happy. She had on blue jeans and a long sleeve shirt with some game on it he wasn''t sure league of something is another. "Now dad," She begins has she was holding something behind her. "Do you remember when I was just starting high school the promise you made?" She said eyeing him.
"I remember all my promises sweetheart, but uh for your sake remind me." She twitched at the remark stating he obviously forgot.
"That if I got into a college you would play a game of my choice." He blinked at her, had he made her that promise...
- - - - Flashback - - - -
"Dad I don''t wont to go to high school!" She pouted up at him as he knew he was weak to that face, he then remembered she had been trying to get him to play games lately.
"How bout this sweetheart if you pass high school and get into college ill play any game you want, for at least one week straight." Her eyes beamed up at him.
"You promised!" She said and then ran off into the building.
- - - - End Flash Back - - - -
"Oh well, what do you know I did. " He said as he finally remembered. "But, sweetheart you do know I''m not much of a gamer right?" He stated, it was true he had only played pong before and that was about it. Though he did win a national championship in pong that was long ago before he had joined. Uncounsouly he grabbed onto his dog tags from when he joined the army. 20 long years he had served.Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.
She glared at him as he sighed. "So I take it you got in." He said with a smile as she showed him the acceptance letter. He hugged her and cheered. "I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!" He shouted in joy. "and has my promise I am a man of my word! what game is it?" She smiled.
"It''s called Edina online! The new VRMMO! it''s one of the best and highest rated games out at the moment!" He noded pretending to know what she was talking about has the doorbell rung. "And that is it now!" He blinked she had ordered it ahead of time. She ran to the door and came back with a box has she pulled it out. He inspected the box has she sighed she didn''t know why he checked every box that came through the mail it''s like he expected them to be a bomb. He opened up the box carefully and saw what looked like a helmet though it covered the eyes and had a mic attached to it he wasn''t sure what to do with it has his daughters phone rung.
"Yea, right now! Fine, I got it. no, it''s just... yeah ill be there." She sighed has Marshel looked at her worried, "Sry dad I have to go now. You can figure up how to set it up and install the game right." He nodded, "Alright then ill be back later something came up." He noded has she left in a hurry. He then pulled out the rest of the machine and begin to set it up.
one hour later
He sighed as he stared at the console, he looked at the loading bar has it was stuck at 75% for a while.
One Hour Later
He blinked it moved up finally, and then stopped at 85%.
One hour later.
"How the hell are you at 110%." He asked an hour later has it then blinked back down to 93%.
one hour later
Finally your done, He sighed his daughter had been gone for a while but that usually happens he had no idea why. Well if anyone hurt her he would just kill them and show the world the corpse anyways he put the helmet one and then saw white has his vision went into the machine.
- - - - - - Inside of game - - - - - -
"Hello and welcome to Edina Online!" A voice said, has he blinked and looked around for the voice. "Before continuing please decide on your race." Different kinds of humanoid creature appeared in the area has he glanced around it was like he could walk around just fine. Technology sure has advanced pretty far, he thought has he looked around. "Each race has a different attribute and gain proficiencies learning skills differently. Please, take your time looking around at the races." He nodded as he looked around he saw humans, it seems they learn everything equally but nothing faster he was debating going for humans and then he saw it. It was a small creature that looked about four feet tall with chrome skin. It looked mostly like some kind of old robot from a movie back in the day.
"The Creation, a race that was created but abandoned because of their weak attributes however they were granted the ability to think, making them ideal for learning alchemy and potion making." He blinked has he inspected it.
"What is alchemy?" He said out loud as he didn''t expect an answer.
"Alchemy is the mixture of herbs and other substances that are mixed with animals, most potions are used to heal one''s health or mana, some create explosive results, however." He smiled, the race was perfect he remembered. He didn''t leave the army because he wanted to he did because he was scared of how much fun he was having. Explosions in a game though. That was perfect.

Butio VS LVL 3 Rabbit
Butio was Currently looking around the town has people avoided him probably scared he would explode on them, oh well he didn''t care, fewer people to bug him that way. He figured it would take his daughter a while to download the game and start her, what did she call it streaming? His self Destruct skill looked great now.

Now though he wondered what he should do next. He begins looking at his skills and nodded, Alchemy the voice has said it could cause some explosions if he used it. It seemed to be able to mix items to make a compound from the info on the skill. He smiled you see his jump in the military was one thing, make bombs. he made bombs for the military to plant on the enemy side in war hell sometimes he even made grenades. He knew exactly how to make any kinda bomb or grenade he needed. First, he needed to learn how he could get some black powder.
He begins looking around in town for stalls. He decided to see if he could simply buy it around here. but has he looked around nothing, he couldn''t find anything to use has gunpowder, not even a substitute. Well in the end that just means he has to go get some himself. He needed only a few ingredients two were easy to obtain. The third one he wasn''t so sure about plus this is a game so it might be a little different hell the ingredients might not exist but the game was supposed to be 99.9 realistic only things not realistic was the pain about the game. He begins to wheel out of town and begins to roam around.
However, has he was roaming around something that happened to him. A horn was currently through his robotic body out of nowhere he looked down and saw a rabbit with red eyes and a silver horn on its head.
Now then he was not sure why the rabbit attacked him but has it pulled out he passed out and soon he saw a screen.
He hit the respawn button and began to go back to where the rabbit was. He was not a man to be fucked with like this. He charged toward the spot he died this time he saw it. A hole was there and he saw the text from before.
He nodded the enemy was in sight, he decided it was time to use his one combat skill. "Self destruct in 9." Has the count down began the rabbit jumped out of the hole and charged him. He went to grab its horn has it took down 70 health with the charge attack.
New Skill Grappling obtained LVL 1 |
He blinked has the window appeared before him. In his moment of distraction, the rabbit kicked him in the chest and soon he saw a somewhat familiar window.
In his anger, he hit Respawn again. He took a deep breath, he let his guard down and that was all. He didn''t expect to get a new skill out of nowhere. Speaking of which he decided to look at the skill, "Inspect Grappling."
Grappling LVL 1 |
Can grab people and creatures and throw them.
Damage = STR * 10 + 10
If thrown to an object, wall, or other creatures or person target is stunned for 1 second.
|
He nodded he could use it against the rabbit and maybe he could win this time, no he will win!" He nodded and went back to the spot with the rabbit soon he found it there, staring as if mocking him. Last time it came at him when he activated self destruct, so he nodded. He spread his tank wheels slight and held both clawed hands out and ready, "Self Destruct in 9." The creature charged forward at him after jumping out its hole. Has it drew near him he caught the horn again and this time he threw it at a nearby tree. The charge had taken him down to 30 hp, he saw a drain above the rabbits head it had taken about one forth its health. His green eye widened, his STR was 1 so 1 multiplied by 10 was still 10, he only did 20 damage the rabbit charged at him again. "Self Destruct in 8."
He wheeled to the side barely dodging the attack, shit if only he had some other method to attack he couldn''t grapple it, as it would damage him again. The rabbit turned and let out a cry, soon two other rabbits appeared as if out of thin air. "Self destruct in 7." The three charged has he dodged the first one and nodded to himself. Has he dodged the second one he caught its hind leg and tossed it into the third, the horn of the rabbit going straight through the other one has it got knocked back. He then noticed he didn''t get any drain on his health. Was it because he didn''t grab the horn?
He then turned around remembering the other rabbit but it was too late a horn was through his body and soon he saw a window appear.
He could feel his eye in real life twitch.
- - - - With Ella - - - -
"This is takin a little too long," She said with a sigh has the game was downloading, her editor and friend Stephen nodded. He had long black hair with red highlights tight black jeans and a dark tee with a jean jacket over the top along with spiked wrist bands.
"Sry but I don''t think it will be done in time, you might wanna call your dad." He said and she shot him a look. "Hey I know you wanna play with your dad right now but look at from this angle your dad will probably still be learning the basics so while he is doing that you can tell your fans and give them something to look forward too. I mean no one has seen your dad just say he is a noob and do not expect much, plus get them excited for the next video I''m sure your dad will also understand." He said as she nodded she couldn''t play the game anyways without it being installed.
"Your right let me call my dad." She said in defeat as she went to the phone.
- - - - With Butio - - - -
He was about to hit the respawn button when he heard a phone call. He decided to take the helmet off and pick up the phone. "Hello," He said as he listened and soon heard the voice of his daughter.
"Hey dad, I got some bad news." She said as he nodded and then remember she couldn''t see him.
"You''re not pregnant right." He said with a serious voice.
"DAD! No, I am not pregnant." He nodded to himself.
"Good then it can''t be that bad, I don''t wanna have to kill anyone yet." He said and it was true he didn''t wanna have to but he would all for his little girl he even knew the perfect place to bury the body.
"The game is taking a long time to download I don''t think I can play it with you today." She said with a sad tone.
"Hey, we can do it tomorrow don''t worry about it." He said he was enjoying the game somewhat except for a certain rabbit that was getting on his nerves.
"THANK YOU, DAD! I LOVE YOU!" She said, "We will start tomorrow at around 6 PM ok."
"Sure thing sweetheart." He said with a smile, that would give him time to call him. He needed to get better at this, he didn''t wanna embarrass his daughter after all. He then decided to log out and pick up the phone he didn''t know how to access the phone in-game only receive calls it was handy he gave the developers that. "Hope that asshole isn''t that surprised." He said with a grin and dialed a number he was good at games right.
- - - - In a Lonely room - - - -
A man in a dark room was currently on a computer playing a game, it was an old classic game that came out 7 years ago. He had messy black hair, a white tee-shirt, blue jeans, and glasses on as he was battling an LVL 100 boss in the game with just a single warrior. The boss usually required a team of 25 players in a raid style dungeon to even get to him. The boss had maxed monster stats of all 9999, with a health bar of 2,500,000,000 health points and unlimited mana. It was known as one of the toughest monsters in gaming history. His LVL 100 warrior would only deal a measly 1,000 hits every attack while the boss could kill him in five hits if he didn''t pop potions. Theviewers watching him doubted he could pull it off but he would. He wasn''t good at much but games, games where his very essence.
The boss was a large dragon known as End with large horns that were three times the size of the player, red dragon scales the body was about five times the size of the screen along with its long neck. This would be considered suicide for two reasons, one his attack rate was low and he wasn''t ranged. His warrior only had a sword and shield, but here he was, he climbed to the top of the dungeon with only himself, He was ranked number one on the game and decided to give this attempt live, many thought he would die to the first mini-boss but instead he slaughtered them all. The dragon started its fire breath on him as he blocked and activated his skill absorbs elements. The flames were cut in half dealing only 1/10 of his health as usual.
Though, that wasn''t the only reason he activated the skill when it was activated it would increase his next attack by the amount he blocked. Has the dragon swooped down on him he waited and parried knocking that giant dragon to the side? Grinning has the chat in the stream went crazy with comments. There was only one frame in the 253 frames that were used in the sweep and he timed it perfectly. Not only that parry doesn''t count as an attack so his absorb elements were still on his next attack. He then activated critical a move only available after parrying. It automatically made the next attack a crit dealing which would double the flat damage at the end but it had a certain effect that would not apply resistance to the attack meaning the fire on the swing would not be halved and instead do the full damage of the flame breath along with the full damage of the attack.
He swung but instead of swinging at the body he swung at the wing has it was reaped off the dragon leaving it with one wing. He did a max of 1,000,000 damage to it in one swing has he grinned it could no longer be annoying and fly around anymore. He blocked a claw attack has his health shrunk down to half and nodded he was almost there. As the claw retreated he went forward and jumped, his character has a warrior who had low acrobatics but he had an idea to get to where he needed. He stabbed forward into the dragon landing just above its claw. Its other claw came to squish him as he let his shield go and then used it has a stepping stone and leaped off it on the claw leaping again this time up high and stabbing the dragon''s upper leg. Has he did so the dragon rolled over trying to squish him as he jumped up the claw this time he didn''t block has it swiped at him while rolling.
Knocking him in the air as he had only 10 health left he nodded, finally he was where he needed to be it had been close to. The dragon regained it''s since and then went to leap at him and was going to bite him he grinned. Finally, what he needed he activated his skill, Sturdy, as long as he was above 1 hit point he would not be reduced to below one. With that in mind, he waited and with the sword activated the skill parry. Hitting the dragon nose he knocked it to the side and then activated charge. Truthfully he was hoping for a fire breath attack but this could work as well. Charge a move that increased his movement speed and dealt damage based on how fast he was hit, He grinned and activated adrenaline has charge begin to move his body to the dragon. Adrenaline a warrior only skill that would increase attack based on how low his health was. As he hit the dragon he aimed for its tail this time chopping it clean off, grinning at the damage he did to the boss creature.Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
A text of 1,575,051 damage appeared as he then charged a max level potion regaining half his health. This battle was gonna be a long one he knew. As he continued he dodged blocked and parried, rinse and repeat when low he would simply chug another potion. The battle continued on like this for a while until finally, he ran out of potions. He looked at his health of 32 hit points and then the boss. It had been a grueling 3-hour long boss battle has its health points was at 2157. He wanted to play it safe but at the end that couldn''t happen he used up 99 potions to the max amount he could carry. "Alright one, maybe two attacks left have to kill him in that time." He said to himself has his viewers where all going nuts none of them expected him to get this far in the dungeon yet alone this far on the boss. He wasn''t some major view tuber he only had about 500 subscribers while not a lot compared to many other view tubers he didn''t care it was what he loved. This attempt though had increased his subscribers by a major 10,000 which boggled his mind.
He ran forward and sidestepped the claw has he extended his sword and slashed dealing 760 damage has he kept running he stops and back rolled has the dragon tried to kick him. He already used to all of its attacks has he stapped it in the leg with his sword dealing an attack of 753. However, his eyes widened as he couldn''t pull out the sword he dodge rolled to the side commonly referred to as a barrel roll. He then turned and looked at the dragon at its size still has big as over he was currently thinking about what to do. The streamers now didn''t think he would win, bull shit there is always a way to win as he looked around and nodded seeing the route he ran to the dragon. As the dragon prepared its fire breath he slides down activating sturdy. The flame breath reducing his health as he was now at one he reached down and grabbed his shield. "360 NO SCOPE BIATCH."
He yelled out as he spun activating adrenaline and threw the shield without looking as it was his last hope in this battle. This shield hit the dragon in the face dealing damage of 700 which should have been enough to kill it. Though the dragon stood back up at one HP. The viewers went crazy screaming the unfairness then he remembered the dragon''s last ability no one he hadn''t seen it all battle. The reason it was such a massive monster to raids where because it would copy one ability of each person around it at random it must have copied his sturdy ability. It went to claw him as he rolled forward grabbing the shield has it was in mid-fall. "FALL DOWN ALREADY!" He screamed out in anger has he smashed the leg of the dragon dealing the final hit. As it begins to glow he ran forward knowing what was going to happen. he dived out the boss room has the dragon exploded in its final move, the first people to nearly beat this monster died to this, it dealt massive damage and though the game counts it as a loss to players. He managed to make it out in time has he walked back in and grabbed his sword and raised it high in victory.
The viewers went crazy has he breathed a sigh of relieve. He went and checked his drops from the monster has he grinned and pulled out 1000 dragon essence. It was a rare drop that would increase flame damage on weapons has he laughed. He looked at his comments the viewers still going crazy calling him a POG champ has he grinned. "Well, I think that''s all, for now, guys, This is Lucky Samurai 37 signing off." He said with a grin. Has he closed his eyes he then heard a phone ring, he blinked who the hell would call him? He wasn''t popular are anything as he looked at the number his eyes widened. Out of instinct, he flipped open the phone, "Yes Sergeant."
"Hey drop the sergeant were not in the military anymore. Anyways I know we haven''t talked in a while but I wanted to ask for a favor." He grinned he was 26 years old and would still not know what he wanted to do if it wasn''t for his sergeant it was also a plus that the sergeant saved his life many times when he got deployed.
"Sure thing Sergeant what you need." He said wondering what he would need, he wasn''t a fighter and he wasn''t a good shot either he only hoped he could help his sergeant.
"You see I made a bet with my daughter. If she got into college I would play a game with her for one week of her choice. We begin tomorrow but I am getting a little restless I am not that good at these games so would you help me get better at these things." He smiled, it wouldn''t be much but this he could do.
"No problem Sergeant what is the game." He said mainly curios he had all the new games and the new vrmmo game in his room but was going to start it tomorrow.
"It''s called Edina Online you don''t mind do you."
"No problem Sergeant I''ll show you the basics, so what is your starting town." He said looking at the back of the game case as it stated you choose a beginning town.
"It''s called Agitha and my name is Butio Butio in the game kay." He nodded to himself.
"Alright, I''ll be there in a little bit Sergent." He said with a grin.
"I told you to stop calling me Sergent call me Tuck, Lee." Lee grinned as they hung up, he then went over to the box the headset was in and grinned.
- - - - - In-Game - - - -
Butio was by a water fountain waiting for his battle to show up, (Battle is a term meant for a friend it essentially means battle buddy.) Soon a hooded person with a black hood and cloak appeared, tall and wielding a walking cane has the hood covered his head. "Hey, their Sergent." Butio grinned in real life as he rolled up to him.
"I told you to call me Tuck." He said as he looked at the window that popped up.
LuckySamuria 37 has sent you a friend request. |
Accept |
Decline |
"Relax sergeant its a friend request, if you accept we can talk long distance and see when each other is online." Butio nodded giving up on his request to stop calling him a sergeant. He tapped accept has he saw the window diss appear and a highlight in the corner of the screen that said friends with a 1 by it. "Alright, Sergeant so you choose a strange class indeed, Trap maker. Oh before I forget if you click on friends and then my name you can see my stats to see mine." He nodded and decided to check on his stats.

Butio nodded his robotic head at the stats. "I have no idea what any of this means." Lee then face-vaulted at the bluntness of his noobishness. Getting back up he sighed he got this his Sergeant wasn''t an idiot so it shouldn''t that hard he nodded.
"Ok well basic is your stats, STR is strength meaning it affects how hard you can hit along with carrying stuff and it affects certain skills Though it is not a stat you should worry about that much." He nodded for him to continue. "Ok next is DEX, Dex affects accuracy with items like bows and throwing stuff, it can also increase how fast you move, Con is simple it affects how much health you have which is the red bar along with how well you can take a hit." He said as butio nodded no wonder his Health was so low his con was only 2 after all, that could also explain how the rabbit killed him so quickly. "Well next is INT which is Intelligence this affects spell damage like fireball along with item damage. WIS or wisdom affects how well you can take magical effects, and last is Charisma this one is a little strange it affects your crit chance, bargaining with NPC, also the chance of loot dropping." He nodded at the stat explanation.
"Ok well, next it seems like your a crafting class meaning combat isn''t your best but since your new, you probably don''t know this game has a certain feature. When using trap making skills, you will generate a basic trap like your tripwire skill you start with, It generates but isn''t that large its a small area but if you get the parts you can extend it farther." He nodded so that is why it was a small tripwire he assumed it would get bigger has he used it. "So is there anything you want to know are do?" He said has butio shook his head he covered the basics.
"Actually there is one thing I want to do." He explained his situation with the rabbit has Lee tried not to laugh at his sergeant and constantly reminded himself the sergeant was new.
"Ok, I get it ill show you how to deal with it for your class."
- - - - Later that day - - - -
"Alright here will do." He nodded and pulled out a shovel from his Inventory, has butio did the same.
"So why are digging here," Butio asked as they begin.
"Your a trap maker Sergeant, unlike in real life if you charge forward you will die. So I''m getting you some skills to help you first and I''m going to show you the basics of how to deal with it." Butio nodded in real life he would charge in he made bombs but he would have to charge in to plant them are sneak in there wasn''t much fighting in truth if you were good enough. Learn the route, make the bomb, and plant it simple soon though a window popped up.
New Skill Digging LVL 1 |
Dig underground at 1/25 your normal speed. |
New Trap PitFall LVL 1 |
Create a PitFall trap that will deal 100 damage to a target depending on how deep it is. |
"Alright so judging by your look you got the skill, by doing actions you gain them along with that skills can also connect to each other so you might have gotten something extra hopefully you got the pitfall trap right." He nodded at him, usually, it was him saving Lee''s ass now this kid was helping him out greatly.
"Ya know, you''re a really reliable guy when it comes to games." Lee smiled at the compliment.
"Now then Sergeant it is time to plant it." Butio blinked has Lee then pulled out some herbs and handed them to him. "Ok Sergeant if you mix these two plants you should get an explosive powder," He grinned and examined them.
Salamander Flower |
It contains Explosive properties along with flame-like patterns. |
Basic Herb |
Increase the chances of alchemy succeeding. |
He then blinked how did he do this part? "In your inventory, you should have a mixing bowl and smashing stick." He nodded taking them out as he put both herbs in and begin to use the stick to mash them. Soon three windows appeared as he blinked.
Salamander Powder |
An Explosive powder that when lit deals between ((100-500 damage + INT) + 2% of final damage) + 1% of final Damage. |
Alchemy LEVEL UP |

|
Explosive Alchemy LVL1 New skill |

He blinked at the new skill that appeared and grinned. "Alright now then let''s pour it in the hole." Butio nodded as he did so. "Nowhere is the important part ok I''m going to get the attention of all the animals in the forest set up a tripwire don''t worry ill avoid it the monsters won''t and after they trip in, you know what to do." Butio nodded as he ran off.
- - - - - Later On - - - -
Lee currently had about 10 monsters chasing him. Most where rabbits though they''re where two boars as he ran. He had gotten Butio a set of matches to start the fire with as he soon saw Butio and leaped over the tripwire as he sidestepped as the monsters all pilled in. He expected Sergeant to throw the match in instead he heard something else has he ran behind a tree. "Self Destruct activated." As Butio then went into the hole as he then saw a large explosion killing everything in the hole along with everything around it hell his level for just being in the party went up twice as his eyes looked at the damage dealt, they had done 950 damage at level 1.
He then went and saw Butio at 1hp he sighed and used his first aid skill has Butio was back at full health has he glowed green. "Get it out of your system."
"That was therapeutic," Butio said satisfied he finally avenged himself against the evil rabbit of Level 3. Though the words that rang after that had both their eyes widened as the window spoke what it read.
Hidden Boss Summoned
Goliath Boar
|
A large boar about the size of a large tree in height and five people wide as he drew his sword Butio then grabbed a rock. "Well, Sergeant looks like we got to have a lot of fun," Lee said with a grin has Butio Grinned in real life.

Hidden Boss Summoned |
Goliath Boar
|
"What the hell is a Hidden boss?" Butio said as the creature charged at him, Lee then ran and grabbed him and moved as the boss charged forward. Both of them dodging the charge by a hair''s breadth as butio nodded.
"Its a boss monster that appears after certain conditions are met, it must have appeared because of how many we killed at once." Butio nodded as he processed the information so if certain conditions where met things like this would happen. "Hey, Sergeant your skill appraisal can you use it on this monster. If you do it you can see the weakness of the monster along with its health." Butio nodded to him as he went to use appraisal.

"It has two thousand five hundred and its level ten." Butio relaid the information to him as he nodded. "Ok, so what should we do this one doesn''t look like the others," Butio said as if it was real life he could simply attack but his encounter with the other mobs told him it was a bad idea. "So then what''s the plan private." He said slipping into Sergeant mode, which he had picked up from the army.
"Not sure, we need to set up a trap and lure it. I can keep it busy but not for long." Butio nodded and spoke.
"Alright I got a plan, I''ll be back in a little bit keep it distracted," He nodded as Butio left. Lee then rolled as the boss charged at him, as the boar passed him he stood up. It turned to charge at him again as he then jumped at it and with his katana stabbed the boar in its eye as he was knocked away by the boar slinging its tusk at him, Lee hit a tree as his health bar went down. "First Aid." He cast on himself, a simple healing ability but it could only be cast when in critical health and it didn''t heal for much just got him out of critical health along with that it had a long cooldown of 7 minutes. "Damn now what do I do?" He asked himself as he couldn''t see sarge insight and his weapon was gone.
The boar then breathed in as it blew out icicles, He ran behind a tree as the ice shards got stuck in the tree, "So its element is Ice, so its weakness is either lightning or fire. If I don''t survive imma hunt you after this." He muttered the last part as he then saw a rock come from the side hitting the board followed by several more until the boar turned and saw Butio there. The boar charged as Butio then rolled away as the boar tripped on a tripwire as it rolled up from tripping it fell into a large pitfall trap, afterward Butio grabbed a match and tossed it into the pitfall trap. The next thing Lee saw was a large blast from the pitfall trap. Butio then jumped in and Lee heard a voice that is becoming too familiar, "Self Destruct Activated."

They both blinked at the message as Lee then decided to go to the boar and grab his katana back. "Alright lets check on the spoils," Lee said as he was about to look at the loot then sighed as Butio was grabbing a rock and was gonna hit it. "You don''t have to do that to get the loot k sarge just say check loot." Butio went over to the boar and spoke out loud.
"Check Loot."

"We got some lucky drops," Lee said with a grin, "So sarge you want the Hide is the crystal. we can split the rest evenly."
"What does the crystal do?" Butio asked examining it, it was a strange thing. The glowing blue crystal no window popped up for it at all.
"It''s a random crystal if you use it in crafting it will give u a random stat boost on the item u can''t examine it unless you have inspection LVL 7, even if you had it though it wouldn''t tell you what stat it would boost not many people like them, simply because you can''t depend on them to be useful." Butio nodded at him.
"I''ll take the crystal who knows it might help plus this is for a week after all if I like it ill probably grab something else anyways." Lee nodded and then a window appeared in front of Butio. "A gift to commemorate the occasion thought you would like it," Lee said as Butio smiled.

Butio took out his crystal and nodded, "Oh before I forgot. Private, what is this plus sign on my screen." Lee blinked, wait did he not use his skill points?
"If you click it you can assign more status points to your stats are if you want you can use it for skills though they cost a lot." Butio clicked the button as a window popped up.
Assign Skill Points |
Learn new skill |
"So do I get this option every level?" Butio asked.
"Yea but skills cost a lot while stats are cheap."
"Can''t I learn all the skills through actions?" He asked remembering the digging skill.
"Some yes but there are some you have to pick up racial skills for one cant be learned and magic skills even if you get a fire tome you can''t learn the spell without fire magic." Butio nodded.
"Then private what do you suggest." Butio never released he called him private.
"Well for one, you need some utility you just a crafter right now, your race stops you from being much it will have low attack always."
"Why?"
"Oh, when you level up you still gain stat points no matter what as the creation class though you have to put them in the attack, I believe you gain +10 to Constitution + 5 to Intellect and + 5 to Wisdom. It just how should I say kinda redundant what I think you should do is focus on your class''s strength, has the creation class you have more racial skills I would look at them and maybe pick out magic while I''m adding it but it''s on you. Just remember to have a plan in mind when choosing the skills." Butio nodded, "Well Sergeant I need to go make supper." He nodded to him as Lee was about to log out. "Oh, one more thing remember these items like what we used to kill the goliath boar will work in low levels but its damage will never go high so stock up a lot when going against higher level monsters." Lee then logged out has Butio was thinking what to do and then nodded. He clicked the new skills button.
"Now then what to choose." He began to scroll through the skills and nodded, "These three seem to be good."

"It is time, I AM THE BAT!" Extending his arm to a tree he shot away.

"Definitely putting this on viewtube."
