It was an ordinary day, people were going to work, and the streets were busy as always. The weather was good with a gentle cold breeze, but it wasn't a good day for a certain gamer.
What the hell, man? Why won't this game give me that thing I want? I have defeated this boss more than a thousand times already.
Meat Roy just your typical gamer who is playing a game and cursing at the top of his lungs.
No wonder this game died, it is too difficult and I don't suck at games, it's just painful to grind this shit of a game.
Zenith was once a popular MMORPG game due to its fun and addictive gameplay, but the player base declined due to an update that made the game impossible to play.
But some...well, one player stuck to the game because he was a die-hard fan and had wasted too much time playing this game.
Is that player online? There was a strange phenomenon that occurred recently. There was another person online, other than me, called Lilly.
She began to play often when she first logged in, both of us we too shy to talk to each other, but later on we became friends as I provided her with stuff she needed and she joined my guild.
As Roy was wondering if she had quit the game, a message popped up in his inbox.
Hello!
Oh...she is still here.
Hi, what are you up to? You were not online for a while. I thought you quit the game.
Don't worry I was just busy with work. I had a free day today, so I came on. I heard there will be a new update tonight.
What really! I thought the devs of the game had given up on this game.
Well, we will have to wait and see if it's true or not.
Ok, do you need any help with anything in-game, any equipment?
No need, I have to leave early today, I need to go get food and go shopping for groceries. See you during the update.
Oh...well then bye.
I guess I should also go off. I am hungry. I will wait for the update.
After some time had passed, the news about the update became the trending topic, and an old player came back into the game.
Hmm...it seems like my business is going to book after the update.
And after waiting for what felt like eternity, the game was about to update. There was a counter in the middle of the map that counted to one minute.
It's time for the update....
A bright light flashed, making Roy lose his vision for some time. He opened his eyes, the surrounding was not his room, but felt somewhat familiar.
Wait a minute, this is the Zenith main hub where we start from!!
There is no way, right? Roy was confused about what had happened and was trying to understand what was going on in the midst of the chaos. A faint blue screen appeared; it was like in those webtoons and novels he used to read.
[ Dear players I we know that you have waited so long for this update, so we tried our best to live up to your expectations. Hopefully, you will like this update. ]
[ Oh, also, if you die here, you die in real life. The only way to get out is by beating the final boss Good Luck... ]
What the hell, pls let us out.
Most of the players started to cry and beg the developers to let them out of the game; some of them were silent and didn't speak.
There is no point in begging and crying; let's just get out of here and grind. I need to have a head start.
I will have the most advantage out of them all for now, so let's go get something that was mine.
The alchemist class is one of the best classe in the game. If you know the ingredients required to make a Potion, there are many things you could do.
It was dropped from a dungeon. I had it because I accidentally found it on the day of release. Only one person can have this class.
There was another class called Grim Reaper but I won't take it because I told the girl from my guild how to get it, so if she is also here, she could get it.
The requirement for the dungeon is none; it scales with your level, so if I go in now, I will only have to fight some slimes and goblin. So let's go get it, but wait, I forgot something I....can't fight!
Ah...Forget it, let's just go.
Roy began making his way towards the dengon area as fast as he could and went in.
Huff...Huff, I made it on the way. I also collected some material to craft some Potions that I am going to need.
There seems to be no monster here.
As soon as Roy said that, a group of slime appeared in front of him.
Sigh, I just had to jinx myself, didn't I well, it's time to fight slimes, don't do that much damage, so a single stab to the core is enough to kill it.
The core is basically the heart of monsters. You can kill a monster by stabbing it in the core.
With the swift move of his dagger, Roy hit the core of a slime and killed it.
First kill, and it was super easy because the core was visible, and after some time, Roy managed to kill all the slimes and some more appeared before him, but they were too easy to kill.
[ Level up! ]
Oh ya, how can I forget about stats? I feel disappointed in myself. How can I forget about stats?
[ *** ]
Strength: 10
Durability: 9
Agility: 7
" Note: more stats will appear after class selection."
Stat points: 4
[ *** ]
Put them two in strength and one each in agility and durability.
[ Point added successfully ]
So, from the first time I got the class, there was a hidden button here somewhere.
Ah...found it.
That was easy. From now on is the hard part. The monster will be a higher level than me, so there will be goblins from his knowledge.
Well...no going back now, let's go.
Roy began to move towards the fighting arena to fight and saw a goblin, as I predicted the boss is a goblin.
Well, let's do this...
As Roy went in for a hit, the goblin blocked the attack.
Eh...
The goblin went and got a hit on Roy and stabbed him.
Ahhh...That hurt you, basted Roy was screaming in agony, what the hell, the slimes were easy to kill, but this thing is too strong.
Roy's stomach was bleeding too much if he couldn't get the class fast, he could die.
Damm this game, why did I keep playing even though everyone had quit?
You know what I am going to live... I know I don't have anyone that will welcome me home, even if I go back home, all of my relatives are dead anyway, but... There was one player who always cared for me. I can't die yet.
I will live just so I can give this shit of a game a one-star review, and for Lilly, no matter what I can't let this stupid game win!!
With quick movement, Roy went near the goblin and struck a hit on its leg, making it unable to move and with one blow, he killed it.
[ You have leveled up! ]
Ahh... I did it, but the victory was short-lived as the pain was catching up to him.
Just give me the damm class.
[ Player completed a hidden dungeon ]
[ Reward: Alchemist Class ]
[ Do you wish to accept? ]
Yess!!!!
