As the colored light dissipated, noisy voices rang in my ears, mostly amazed at the real world.

To be honest, Zeyi, who had just come in, was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

Marble-paved streets, shops, NPCs with no stiffness in their movements, and beautiful scenery make this place far better than advertised.

Akihiko Aoba, you're such a genius.

Zeyi couldn't help but clench his hands, feeling the real touch, and at the same time looked down at his vanished clothes, replaced by a simple patchwork of fabric and leather.

Swipe down with your right index finger to open the menu bar's submenu, revealing a copper rapier and 5 primary health potions in the inventory.

This is a pretty good gift for newbies!

You know, in the last game, he didn't have anything at first.

At this time, Zeyi noticed that there seemed to be something in the corner of his eye

ゼ?イー

250/250

Lv:1

The values are so weak, let's see what the tasks are.

Wandering in the "Beginning Town", Zeyi has taken on some simple tasks one after another, such as collecting flowers and plants, and searching for lost things. These tasks earned Zeyi 500 kre, and now Zeyi stopped in front of an old man.

"At the southernmost end of the "Initiation Town" is a semicircular block with a diameter of one kilometer surrounded by walls, the "Initiation Street". Wild boars around the streets disturb the peace of the town, adventurers, and you will be rewarded with great rewards for defeating 10 wild boars. ”

Zeyi said energetically, "Leave it to me."

Leaving the circle and walking on the vast grassland, there are already scattered players fighting wild monsters.

The Boar, officially known as the "Berserk Boar", is blue and is the fastest level 1 novice monster on the grassland.

Zeyi casually looked at one and stabbed it with a sword.

Poof

The sword slashed at the boar's rough body, cutting a long red line.

"It looks simple..."

The injured wild boar suddenly flew Zeyiding, who was talking to himself, half a meter away.

"Is a level 1 monster so powerful?"

Puzzled, Ze Yi glanced at the manic boar, which was known as a novice monster, and the blood trough representing HP on the blue strong body had dropped by a third.

But the boar didn't think, and it rushed again in a rage.

Zeyi used his thin sword to resist the boar's charge, then made a slight left turn, taking advantage of the boar's attack to stun, and stabbed a sword into the boar's chest.

Then he jumped back, dodged the boar's fangs, and attacked the boar again.

The boar, which has been continuously damaged by the blade, has lost two-thirds of its HP value on the top of its head, and it is in danger.

Zeyi didn't wait for the boar's follow-up attack, and kicked his left foot to the ground with a completely different smooth movement than before.

"Boom!" sounded. After a pleasant-sounding effect, the blade made a faint blue mark in the air.

With one hand, he used his basic skill "Linear" to hit the neck of the boar that had entered a state of rushing, destroying only one-third of its HP.

After uttering the pitiful pre-death wail of "Woohoo", the boar's massive body shatters like glass, turning into thousands of multi-horned shards and disappearing into the game.

The exp bar in front of Zeyi increased slightly, and he obtained 50 Kel and a boar's fur.

After experiencing the unique fun of this game, Zeyi looked up at the grass a few meters away.

In the distance, a figure of a man with his red hair standing up with a turban on his forehead and a simple leather armor wrapped in a thin body pulled out his knife and rushed towards a wild boar, the knife gradually turned orange, only to see an orange light flash, and the boar shattered and disappeared.

This is "Sword Skill", the only skill in the game.

Speaking of swordsmanship, we have to mention the game's setting, which boldly excludes the "magic" that has always been considered a necessary element in fantasy adventure online games, and replaces it with "sword skill", which is set to be a near-infinite number of special moves.

The reason for this is that the player wants to use their body and fight with their own sword, so that the player can experience the maximum charm of a completely stealthy environment.

Zeyi leisurely looked for the boar again, after finding a manic boar, Zeyi kicked with his left foot, and the whole person ran towards the boar, the right hand holding the thin sword turned slightly to the left, and compared the actions prescribed by the system, and the blade slowly drawn out emitted a faint blue brilliance.

The basic sword technique of the one-handed rapier stabbed the manic boar flawlessly.

The damaged Manic Boar let out a "whine" wail, and its HP dropped by half.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ze Yi quickly attacked the boar with a thin sword, and after a while, the boar turned into pieces and disappeared unwillingly.

"It's easy, go on!" As he spoke, he aimed at a wild boar, and the frenzy in his eyes made the boar a little scared.

Time flies, and Zeyi completes the requirements of the task in a short time.

Now, he was standing in front of the old man, submitting the task.

"Thank you, adventurer, it's your reward"

The old man handed a small bag of Keer to Zeyi, and at the same time, the top of the old man's head appeared again, "? ”。

"Can I do something for you, please?" Zeyi tried to ask

"Isn't this the adventurer just now, old man, I don't need any help anymore."

"It is my duty to contribute to the protection of the town, old man, if you need anything, please mention it."

"I really don't need anything, old man, adventurer, you better leave."

This difficulty did not bother Zeyi at all, and Zeyi continued to ask the old man. And just like that, the time came in the evening.

"Young man, your perseverance has impressed me, and you have gone to the grassland to defeat ten wild monsters such as wolves, worms, beetles, and wasps. You will be rewarded handsomely. ”

Zeyi, who received the task, left the old man, thinking about the reward all the time, and his whole body was full of energy.

————————————————

With a wail, the wolf turned into pieces and disappeared, this was the fifth wolf that Zeyi had killed, but it was still far from the completion of the mission.

Looking up, the vast grasslands that spread in all directions shone in the sunlight that began to blush slightly.

In the far north, the outline of a forest emerges, and in the south there is a glittering lake. To the east, you can see a little of the town's walls, while to the west you can see the endless sky and clouds dyed gold.

Currently, Zeyi is located in the vast grassland area on the west side of the "Beginning Town". The surrounding players are fighting monsters like Zeyi, but because the space is too wide, Zeyi doesn't see anyone else in his field of vision.

A bright moon loomed, and it was already 6 o'clock in the evening.

"Looks like it's time for me to get something offline."

Zeyi took a step back, raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand straight up, and then waved it directly down. A rectangle glowing purple immediately appeared along with a bell-like effect.

"Huh......" Zeyi suddenly cried out in confusion.

"What's going on...... Don't have a button to log out?"

In the starting state, the elongated rectangular window has your ID, HP, and EXP bar on the top, and there will be several menu labels on the left, and a humanoid silhouette showing the status of your items and equipment on the right. AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS MENU THERE SHOULD BE A "LOGOUT" - THAT IS, A BUTTON TO GET OUT OF THIS WORLD.

But now it's gone.

"The only person who knows what's going on now is the game's developer, Akihiko Kayaba."
