Era of Players: Death God

Chapter 45: Grinding



Before the survival test, each studt is granted 5 points. With each passing day of survival, the points increase. Surviving a day adds five more points. Noah, having conquered the first day, now boasted 0 points – his initial 5 points, plus the points he earned by triumphing over Aid in a double-point victory.

While 0 points may seem significant, the anomaly named Lilith possessed a staggering 50 points, leaving Noah trailing by 30 points. Despite the challge of catching up and surpassing her, Noah was resolute in his determination. It wasn't just about avoiding defeat; the real motivation lay in the rewards awaiting him at the d. He had to succeed.

The smart bracelets would begin updating the rankings starting tomorrow, strategically chos for wh the studts had accumulated ough points by the third day. Earning points was straightforward – survive or slay monsters. However, only regular studts could earn points through combat; criminals resorted to plundering. This explained why Noah delayed eliminating Aid immediately.

Fueled by the desire for revge, he planned to accumulate points swiftly while preparing for the ultimate showdown.

Noah's goal was clear – not only to defeat Aid but to ruthlessly strip him of his hard-earned points.

"Ah! This is going to be quite the spectacle," Noah mused.

The island's vastness surpassed all expectations, divided into numerous zones. Noah and his companions resided in the outer zone, known for its relative safety. While one could opt to remain sheltered there until the survival test concluded, the opportunity for point accumulation was limited.

To amass points by slaying monsters, one had to vture into the more perilous inner zones where the risks were higher but the rewards doubled.

Rumors spoke of a desert within the island inhabited by fearsome monsters, offering swift advancemt and a substantial -point reward for surviving a day. The perils of the desert zone were not to be underestimated, yet Noah harbored a desire to explore it. However, he planned to bide his time and first progress through the next zone to bolster his skills.

His strategy involved grinding to hance his level before confronting Aid the following day. Only th did he intd to delve deeper, braving the treacherous desert zone.

Curious about how the studts can overcome the monsters in the other zones without weapons? The solution is rather straightforward. In the upcoming zones, weapons are randomly dropped by drones, providing the necessary tools for combat.

Noah ran toward the next zone at fast speed, he appeared in another forest but this one was more sinister.

The trees loomed overhead, casting eerie shadows on the forest floor. Noah could hear the rustling of leaves and the distant howls of unse creatures. As he cautiously navigated through the dse foliage, he knew that he had to rely on more than just his speed to survive in this dangerous new zone.

Suddly, a drone appeared overhead, its mechanical whirring cutting through the silce of the forest. Noah's eyes wided as he watched a weapon drop from the drone, landing at his feet with a metallic clatter. With a sse of determination, Noah picked up the weapon and felt its weight in his hands.

Armed with this newfound tool, Noah knew that he had a fighting chance against whatever lurked in the shadows of the sinister forest. Gripping the weapon tightly, he steeled himself for the challges that lay ahead, ready to face the monsters with courage and resolve.

[Ding! Kill as many Kobolds you can.

Duration: 5 hours

Rewards: Random stat increase and Exp booster.]

At the start of the experice grinding session, a resounding voice from the system announced its presce. While the absce of a gold coin reward was a letdown, the system's offerings were still intriguing. In addition to the occasional stat boost, Noah found himself captivated by the Exp Booster.

Recalling its hefty price of 000 gold coins in the system's store and its brief one-hour duration, Noah understood its value. True to its name, the Exp Booster had the power to double the experice gained from slaying monsters, making it a valuable asset for him so he did regret the rewards proposed.

Kobolds were aggressive, insular, yet industrious small humanoid creatures. They were noted for their skill at building traps and preparing ambushes, and mining. Their height is no differt from goblin, they are red skinned monsters.

Monsters a graded from the lowest rank to the highest.

E to SSS, disaster class. Goblins are considered E rank monsters while Kobolds, D rank.

''It is time to start the hunt. Time to grind.''

Noah swung the long sword in his hand before moving forward, he was heading toward the first monster he detected through his Presce Detection skill. It was a Kobold. The creature let out a guttural growl, its eyes narrowing as it prepared to lunge at Noah with its crude weapon. Noah braced himself, his grip tighting on the hilt of his sword as he prepared to face the fierce Kobold in battle.

Noah took a step closer, ready to gage in combat.

Noah took a step closer, ready to gage in combat. The Kobold's stch filled his nostrils, a mix of dirt, sweat, and the metallic tang of blood. As the creature raised its weapon, Noah could see the determination in its eyes, a primal instinct driving it to attack.

With a swift movemt, Noah dodged the Kobold's initial strike, feeling the rush of adraline coursing through his veins. He countered with a powerful slash of his sword, aiming for the creature's exposed flank. The Kobold let out a screech of pain as the blade made contact, drawing blood.

The battle intsified as the Kobold fought back with ferocity, its movemts quick and agile. Noah's eyes focused, anticipating the creature's next move. With each clash of metal against metal, Noah felt the weight of the fight pressing down on him.

As the dust settled and the echoes of battle faded, Noah stood victorious, the fight was not too hard he had thought. The Kobold lay defeated at his feet, a testamt to his skill and determination. Noah wiped the sweat from his brow, knowing that more awaits him, kobolds are truly difficult one still he wouldn't waver and kill as many as he could.
