Chapter 39 – Ambushed Part1

After logging in, Liam walked out of the town and headed straight for the surrounding forests. There was only one more thing left for him to do in Basla town and that was to finish the instructor's quest.

This was also his first priority as he wanted to strengthen his body as much as he could before he moved on to the next step.

In his previous life, after this specific piece of information, or rather this rule was discovered, countless people could only lament in regret as it was too late for them to start from scratch.

Even the person who finished this quest couldn't fully reap its benefits.

He got only 50% of the results and just that much helped the guy shoot all the way to the top and he became one of the major powerhouses.

Liam, however, would be getting 100% of the reward if everything went according to this plan. Just the mere thought of it made him lick his lips in anticipation.

He took a look at the quest one more time and sped through the forest.

[Unique Quest: Kill the bear king Barabara and bring its head to the training ground instructor]

Kata Kata Kata. His feet nimbly moved through the lush tall trees and the thick brambles.

Bear King Barabara resided in the forest zone near the biggest city in the Gresh Kingdom, Yleka city. This is the city where soon everyone would be spending the majority of their time in.

Only second to the royal city where the royal palace was located, Yleka was the biggest junction of trade and commerce, and several advanced magic institutes and trade skill institutes were located there.

Major guilds would be fighting with each other tooth and nail just to get a foothold in this city and the one who managed to get would inevitably be head and shoulders above the rest.

And more importantly, players would finally come in contact with and interact with other races of the world like elves, orcs, goblins, and beastkin.

In the beginning, everyone would be overjoyed to be able to talk to and bed elven beauties and furry beast women, especially because of the unbelievable immersive nature of the game.

However, the viciousness of some of the creatures would only come to light when the game was no longer just a game.

Thinking about the bleak future, Liam let out a long sigh and continued running through the empty forests.

In reality, his current level was far too low to be running around freely like this. These forests were chalked full of bandits and dangerous beasts but there was no way he could afford to wait.

For now, it was probably just him in these forests, of course, also the pest who was still sticking to him and maybe a few more players.

However, Barabara was the field boss of Yleka city and it was inevitable that these deserted places wouldn't remain so peaceful for too long.

All the paths to and from the city would soon be brimming with players. The bandits and the beasts who might be threatening now would simply end up being easy experience points.

Also, since it was located near such a highly-populated area, it would become near impossible for any one person to monopolize the field boss.

And for this particular quest, Liam definitely needed the bear king all to himself.

So he didn't dare spend even another minute doing something else and quickly hurried over to the dazzling city's outskirts.

Several feet behind him, another figure as well dashed forward, but this person's plight was completely different from Liam and he was sweating from top to bottom.

His stamina was almost fully drained that his body was shaking and shivering.

"Damn it. Huff. Huff. Damn it. How the hell is this guy running so fast? Shouldn't he be tired by now?" Berat buckled over and fell down from tiredness while trying to keep up with the monster in front of him as best as he could.

He had already sunk several hours into this stupid idea of his, so he didn't hesitate and munched on a fruit, quickly scrambling back to his feet.

"Please wait for me…" He muttered under his breath and continued running with a limp. "Why is this fucking game so damn realistic…"

Just as he gasped for breath and jogged ahead with everything he could muster, he noticed something weird. The monster in front of him finally stopped moving!

"Lucky!" Berat's eyes curiously darted here and there to see where they were and what the person could possibly be up to now.

However, he was instantly shocked. As his vision cleared and the blurriness reduced, he saw several men standing around.

"What the heck? Who are these people? Some kind of thieves or bandits?" He took a step back, not wanting to unnecessarily lose his life.

There were about 20 to 30 men dressed in black clothes. Even if he helped that person, how could just the two of them survive against so many people?

So it was obviously better to run away and meet the person back at the town's graveyard. This would be the most logical thing to do and yet Berat found himself waiting for a miracle.

He didn't turn around and run and curiously observed the person in the midst of the bandits, who was standing straight and unyielding like a mountain.

And then something even more unexpected happened…

"Hand over everything in your possession. You should have never messed with our guild. Now it's time for you to face the consequences bastard!"

"Huh? Wait a second… these… are these players and not bandit NPCs?" Berat was completely dumbfounded.

The game just started, so how on earth did this person manage to offend these many people?
