Chapter 166: Legacy of Eternal Frost

[Given that you’ve received an SS-Class Legacy Absolute Frost Deity, it is recommended to choose the Frostmere Village as the starting village.]

Since the system itself had already suggested to him, Enzo followed.

Enzo recalled he read a forum post before, concluding that if the system suggested which village for you to be designated, then you have the potential to surpass the first player.

Although Enzo read the comments, saying it was a baseless statement, he understood now that it might be true.

True to the part that the system valued a player if it suggested which starting village to choose, but delusional to the part that a player could surpass his brother.

Given that the system itself valued his brother highly, how could his brother easily be surpassed?

As Enzo expressed his desire to follow what the system suggested, the system’s genderless voice echoed again.

[You have chosen the Frostmere Village.

The destination coordinates of the Frostmere Village have been locked.

You are now being teleported inside the Frostmere Village.]

The scenery blurred and changed.

Enzo suddenly found himself standing on the main road.

His stomach churned and his head felt dizzy, but Enzo suppressed the sickness after being teleported and swept his gaze around.

He noticed a lot of players walking past by him, simply casting him a glance before proceeding to their activities.

Enzo could see some players with their current levels exposed above their heads, while some remained "???" alongside their current rank.

Given that three months has passed, there were already a lot of D-rank players in Frostmere Village alone, while he spotted some C-rank players.

Enzo didn’t dwell on them and randomly walked around.

He still has 6 hours left inside the game before Auntie Sarah would call them for dinner. He didn’t inform his elder brother that he was playing yet.

He wanted to explore about the class legacy he received.

He summoned his inventory and expand on his legacy.

[SS-Class Legacy: Absolute Frost Deity.

Description: The SS-Class Legacy Absolute Frost Deity contained six class advancement. Each class advancement is a quest for you to complete. Once you advance a class, you will level up to a major rank. At the moment, the legacy is inactive. To activate and trigger the first class advancement’s quest, complete the requirements.

Requirements: Level 9, 15 intelligence points, basic level proficiency for mana sensitivity and mana control, and gather the ingredients to create the Frost Elixir.]

Enzo read the requirements and was relieved that every single one of them was familiar.

Without hesitation, he grind for six hours straight—completing mission from various NPCs quests, earning coins in the process to increase his mana sensitivity and mana control’s proficiency in a meditation chamber, until he logged out of the game to have dinner with Max and continued his grind.

Along the way, many players would come up to him and offered their services to help him after noticing he had just logged in the game.

Teaching how to increase skills’ proficiency, advice how to acquire quests from various NPCs... all sorts of method for beginners.

Since Enzo had already studied a lot about the game for the past two months, he did not need them.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but think if Max, given that he was among the early players, at some point, was like them—offering services to help the beginners.

He didn’t dwell on it as he continued to grind.

When he finally completed every requirement, except the last one, he finally remembered to inform his brother.

He deliberated whether to request his help.

He recalled how difficult to gather the ingredients to create the Frost Elixir, so he might as well obtain it directly from him.

After their brief exchange, Enzo’s eyes glowed when he saw the Frost Elixir in his inventory.

After thanking his brother, he swept his gaze around. He was currently in an alley inside the village.

Although the village was safe, Enzo was aware that there were instances that players suffered from robbery not only from players but NPCs.

Although Warriors often players patrolled around, no one could really assure him that every place inside the village was safe.

In the end, since Enzo has money left, he decided to rent a basic room first.

As he sat on the bed, he took out the elixir from his inventory and felt its cold glass in his grasp.

No, it’s not the only glass that’s cold. It’s the liquid inside.

With basic mana sensitivity, Enzo could already perceive the temperature of the liquid inside the elixir.

He doubted if his body could handle it.

Although this was only a game, it was hyper realistic. If it was not because the pain synchronization was not a hundred percent, reminding him that it was only a game, he might believe he transferred to another world.

As Enzo hesitated, he immediately shook his head and shoved the contents of the elixir straight to his mouth after opening it.

A frigid sensation instantly jolted him awake, almost causing him to spit out, but recalling the value of the elixir, he gritted his teeth, closing his mouth tightly, until the frigid liquid was gulped down.

Enzo felt numbness all over. He could not even speak.

He immediately saw his health bar was depleting at a rapid rate, alarming him.

Damn it. Is this how I died for the first time?

He thought he would die for the first time fighting against demons and monsters, but to think he would end up dying... killing himself.

As Enzo saw his health bar depleting, he suddenly felt dizzy.

He dropped to his bed and his body continued to convulse from the violent reaction of consuming the Frost Elixir.

Ice mana also began to leak out his body, freezing his body from the inside.

Good thing I’ve rented a room.

Those were his last thoughts before his consciousness sank into the abyss...

Just as he believed he would wake up in his gaming pod, he suddenly found himself in a different place.

Before he could scrutinize around, the system’s voice echoed in his mind.

[Welcome to the Frozen Realm.

Your first quest is to inherit the Legacy of the Eternal Frost.]
