Infinite Realm

"This is crap, all that stress for total but acceptable crap!"

[[Bandit's Sword : Mid tier Mortal Class : Additional +5 damage, Durability : 11]]

In Infinite Realm, weapons and equipment have ranks due to their separate capabilities, potential and power. Some of these weapons are even capable of making an average player become a peak level expert.

As such, the existence of the major ranking system came to be; [Mortal], [Rare steel], [Dark Silver], [Legendary], [Mythic], [Saint], [Divine], with [Mortal] rank being the weakest and [Divine] rank being the strongest. Also, due to the differences in abilities, a weapon in the same rank can be weaker than another; as such, there are 3 further sub-divisions in each rank, namely : Low Tier, Normal/Mid tier and Upper tier.

Sato unequipped his Novice Sword and replaced it with the [Bandit's Sword]

'Just a little bit better than the Novice Sword in my sheath. I really need to learn dual wielding.'

"Let's see what else is here"

[[Simple Health Potion x2]]

[[ Wild Saber Skin : 0 Star]]

[[Wild Saber Tooth x2 : 0 Star]]

[[ 5 Copper Coins ]]

"Hmm, what's this..."

[[ Savir's Card : Unknown : can be used to unlock Savir's Mansion]]

[[ System : With this, you might get something good ]]

" Savir's Mansion, I don't recall seeing such a place on the system map, it's probably elsewhere.

"Time to get going."

Leaving behind him the scenes of a battle, Sato headed deeper into the forest.

"The graphic imagery and realism of the game is is quite impressive. So this should be the supposed 4 UHDR graphics."

*[4 UHDR = 4th Gen Ultra High Definition Realism) Since it's VR we are talking about, I created a new resolution form, 'R' which stands for Realism. Just imagine it as a view from a 6k TV…uwu…] *

Despite the multitudes of VR games, some are quite popular than the others due to various differences, the most important being Virtual Resolution. Some VR games have more realistic imagery while others look pixelated like a bunch of stacked sugar cubes. Infinite Realm being one of the latest, boasted of better realism, with the release of the much anticipated 4 UHDR resolution, thereby proclaiming themselves as the best game of the year.

*Rustles*

"Hmm, that's a ..."

"Steel skin, well that explains the points in Magical defence for a physical creature as yourself."

"But the heavens are indeed fair, your speed and agility is quite terrible. Let's begin"

"Grunts". Noticing a foreigner in it's area, the boar charges at Sato with it's horns, launching the first attack, as such the battle begins.

*****

The Fallen Heart Kingdom, located South East within the main continent has 13 major cities and is bordered by 2 Kingdoms and 1 Empire. West of Fallen Heart Kingdom is the Reiss Kingdom, headed by the Brahman Empire and located within this Kingdom is Lavissen Town, one of the Novice Towns where players are initially spawned.

Of the Level 1-5 maps close to Lavissen Town is the Arken Greenwoods, named after the indigenous Arken Greenwood trees which has a variety of uses, due to it's natural green colour shade and the medicinal scent and qualities of it's leaves and bark. As a result, a lot of wild animals and monsters dwell within the woods, *[ AN : referring to the location not the tree's wood].

*Awoo!!*

Within the Arken Greenwoods, a party of 5 level 2 players were battling against a pack of 8 wolves, one of which was a 2 meter tall Level 3 special Elite with 2 Level 3 Elite wolves and the rest were Level 3 Common monsters.

( AN : Magical damage is damage as a result of the magical elements or attacks, whereas physical damage is damage due to physical force behind the attack e.g when someone launches a fireball attack at you, the fireball possesses momentum which when it hits you, you experience a force that causes damage, but the flames still burn you , that is Elemental damage. I know the physics terms are quite confusing, just re-read it and try to understand. )

Such a line-up of players was quite impressive at this stage of the game, since the game has only been opened for 2 hours. Most players however, were still struggling to get their first level up, with only guild elites and expert players looking forward to their second level-up.

Despite being both outranked and outnumbered 5 to 8, the players were not at a disadvantage, easily taking down Arken Greenwolves leaving behind the Elites and Alpha. One has to know that of the monsters and creatures currently inhabiting Arken Greenwoods, the Arken Greenwolves are on the higher scale of power due to their high agility and dexterity.

"Finally, those trash weaklings are dead"

"Gotze, focus!! " cautioned the black haired swordswoman.

"Alright captain"

"Panda, pin the boss down, Herald, Gotze, handle the Elite Greenwolf by the left, I'll handle the other. Try your best not to stress Purple out."

"Got it captain."

"Okay ! "

"Hmm ! "

Taking a step forward with his right leg and applying force, the Paladin lifted his Greatsword above his head and clashed with the lifted paw of the Arken Alpha Greenwolf. Despite the gap in the level and strength, the Paladin only took a step back with a minuscule loss of HP, with the boss's aggro focused on him, Panda moved away from the rest with the boss chasing after him. While he tanked the boss, the rest took on their roles against the elites. The ranger Herald, and assassin Gotze, attacked one Elite Greenwolf whilst the captain Ink Snow took on the other, with the Cleric, Purple Winter healed them in addition to giving them buffs.

" Finally, that beast is done." Rejoiced Gotze " Hey Herald, do you think we killed ours before Ink? "

" Why don't you take a look" Looking in the direction Herald pointed at, Gotze saw Ink attacking the Alpha Greenwolf together with Panda.

" Damn, why is she so quick? "

" Don't compare yourself to her, there's a reason she's known as the Divine Sword Princess..."

"Hey you two, join up with Ink and stop ogling at her ! " Reprimanded by Purple winter, after which Gotze and Herald joined up with Ink Snow and Panda to finish up the boss.

"Watch out! The boss is about to go berserk..."

*Awoo!*

Coated in a red aura, which signifies the [[Enraged]] state ( Berserk state ) the Alpha Arken Greenwolf used [[Swift steps]] to lose Panda, leaped up and launched a [[Green-gale Howl]] at him whilst lifting it's paw to attack Herald who happened to have attracted it's aggro.

"Herald watch out"

'Shit, it's too late'

Activating [[Sprint]] while being buffed by Purple Winter's [[Blessing]], Ink Snow appeared in front of Herald, slashing her Great-sword at the Alpha Greenwolf.

*Clang*

Despite blocking the attack with her's with the buff, she still took one step back seeing it's attack being blocked, and it's prey escaping, the wolf further frustrated whipped out a tail attack at Ink.

*Clang*

"Don't forget about me." Taking the chance after the beast's initial attack was blocked, Panda rushed in and blocked it's follow-up attack with his shield.

Seeing room for an attack, Gotze stepped out Stealth mode and slashed a multitude of attacks behind.

*Awoo!*

"Now!"

Retreating seven steps back, Gotze dodged a Claw attack and Herald followed up with a [[Spiral shot]] landing directly at it's left eye.

*Awoo!*

"Finish it " yelled Ink Snow.

"[[Shadow Strike]]"

"[[Horizontal Slash]]"

"[[Triple Shot]]"

"[[Divine Slash]]"

*Awoo!*

Facing a quadruple high-powered attack, the Alpha Greenwolf couldn't resist and fell to it's death.

"That was tough, I almost died."

"No kidding, if not for Captain you would've lost a level."

"Who else would we have blamed for it, if not you, Panda. You ended up making such a rookie mistake and attracting the entire pack."

"Hehe, I thought we could take them all on at once and we did, plus we levelled up, huh, ouch." In the middle of his reply, Panda got hit by Purple Winter's staff on the head.

Chuckling at the scene, Gotze said, "Hehe, you still had the guts to talk back to the 'Demonic Angel'..."

"Whad'ya say ? !"

"Nothing"

Watching the bustle in front, Ink Snow smiled at them while she went to loot the corpses.

Panda asked "So how's our harvest, Captain ? "

"It's nice, at least we can update our gears." replied Ink Snow.

"Yeah, we need better equipment if we are to be ahead of everyone else. We have to gain levels faster than others before 'they' announce the reason behind Infinite Realm" With a serious face, Purple Winter stepped up and stated.

"Yeah"

'I wonder how he's doing' Staring up into the sky, Ink Snow thought of the image of that man who rejected her help despite being former childhood friends.
