Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Chapter 7: Oya

It was a staff and a shield worthy of legendary grade. Many skills made him feel pumped up and wanted to use them right now. Unfortunately, their requirements were not easily attainable.

He needed at least to reach level 16 before he could use them. That was difficult to achieve in a short time.

"Legendary quest: Assemble the legendary Minior set

Task: Assemble all parts of the legendary Minior set.

Duration of the quest: No Limit.

Quest Reward: Not Specified.

Quest failure: There is no penalty for quest failure.

Quest progress: 212

It was a legendary quest like the one he just completed, but it did not have a time limit or a failure penalty. This was a good quest that suited him.

"System Prompt: The player has advanced to the next level. Your new level is 1. The player has 10 free Attribute Points.

System Prompt: The player has advanced to the next level

System Prompt:

The System Prompt player has advanced to the next level. Your new level is 7. The player has 10 free Attribute Points to distribute."

One million XP points looked huge, but it barely made him reach level 7. In Rioneed, players needed a large amount of XP to upgrade from one level to another.As for rising to the eighth level, Ibro needed around 250K XP. 

This was not a small number! Now, after that quick upgrade wave, he has 70 free Attribute Points to distribute.

As he did before, he distributed his attribute points according to his equation: 50% Intelligence, 25% Vitality, and the last 25% for Agility. He distributed 35 AP for Intelligence, 17 AP for Vitality, and the last 18 AP for Agility. His new personal stats were as follows:

Vitality: 21 - Intelligence: 41 - Agility: 21

HP: 210 - MANA: 410 - Magic Attack: 41 - Speed: 2.1 Attack Speed: 3.5

His stats became more powerful, but what he lacked was skills! His MANA was enough to use more skills.

As for the Observation skill that he acquired from the reward of the quest, it was considered an Auxiliary skill.

He could know a lot of data about monsters, players, equipment ... Etc By using it. Suddenly, he remembered a store that sold skills for different classes in novice villages. 

It wasn't like the Enog store, as it did not exist in every novice village. He wished his luck would not run out this time. So, he quickly left Enog shop and started searching the whole village.

After half an hour of search, he didn't find that store. He was not lucky this time. The methods of obtaining skills were a lot, but all of them started when he entered the city.

Every city contained shops that sell skills, whether ordinary or secret stores. The problem of having enough money needed to buy strong skills had been solved. He had around 3000 gold coins in his Inventory.

He took a deep breath and began to think about his options, which wasa sole option. If he wanted to have strong skills, he must leave this novice village. He still lacked three levels to be able to move to the city.

The tenth level was considered a milestone for many players, as it alone needed at least 2 million XP. If he killed ordinary monsters, he would be able to meet that level in about two weeks!He did not have time to waste here, as he had a lot to do when he reached the city. The fastest way to upgrade in the game was to play through the dungeons. But novice villages didn't have any dungeons!

He had the key to Tutankhamen dungeon but he could not use it now. While he was lost in his thoughts, he walked unconsciously across the village to find himself in front of a strong wooden gate.

He looked at the gate and then his mind suddenly froze. How did that information escape his mind? He almost forgot that quest! Unlike Enog quest, the player who announced it was a famous Heptian player named 205.

205 discovered a unique method of promotion. Although he did not announce the details of the quest in the forums, Ibro knew it from him directly. 205 was his guild leader.

205 often boasted in front of the guild elders about this quest. Near every novice village, there was a series of high mountains. These mountains harbor many thugs, thieves, and monsters.

Through pure coincidence, this player managed to attract the attention of all these small groups to attack his novice village. This sounded like a crazy move, but at that time the number of Heptian players in each novice village was huge.

Ibro alone would not be able to fend off all these enemies. Perhaps that was why his mind missed this quest. But didn't he possess a scroll that would kill everything in the vicinity of a kilometer?

If he could trigger that quest, he would be able to get enough XP to upgrade at least three levels.

He must destroy five thug strongholds to activate this quest. All the strongholds he knew needed a team of at least 10 players to destroy.He hesitated a little before making up his mind. He would explore the dens surrounding his village first.

He moved out of the village gate passing through different leveling maps crowded with various kinds of monsters. All novice villages in the game used the same system of monster distribution.

The closest areas to the village contained level 1 Rabbits then level 2 Sheep, then level 3 Foxes, then level 4 Wild Cows, level 5 Wolves, level 6 Snakes, level 7 Hyenas, level 8 Rhinos, level 9 Crocodiles and level 10 Tigers.

All of these monsters were passive monsters. They would only attack the player if the player attacked them first.

There were individual monsters, such as rabbits, snakes, and rhinos. There were herd monsters that moved in groups such as foxes, wolves, and tigers. 

While walking towards the mountains, a loud bell rang in his ears driving him out of deep thinking. He found a pleasant surprise waiting for him.

"System Prompt: Player Oya added you as a friend. Do you accept?"

Finally Aya Darwish! His bet was correct. The previous announcement made her take the initiative to reach him.

He immediately accepted the friendship request. He received a video call request from Oya which he then accepted.

"Welcome to the first player in the game to win a legendary quest. How did you do it, Ibro?"

Ibro laughed happily and did not hide his happiness in front of her.

"That was just a stroke of luck. Where are you in the game?"

"I started at Oinga novice village."

"A village that belongs to Ihnasia city?"

"How do you know that?"

Ibro felt stressed at once. Amidst his enthusiasm to talk to her, he made a foolish mistake this time. He knew this info from his past. When she noticed his silence and hesitation, she said in a serious tone:

"You are full of mysteries. You know my Ashley code and can use it so perfectly like me. I swear that no one knows this code that I invented. You also know some secrets about the game, and now you know where I play. Won't you tell me how you know all this?"

He tried to escape this trap which he put himself into by saying,

"Unfortunately, I cannot answer all of these questions. But I can assure you that I mean no harm to you. I'm just a friend who wants to help you.I am not your enemy."

"Talking is easy, and promises are delicious, but both are always a deadly poison. If you cannot share your secrets with me, how can I trust you?"

Ibro had different thoughts beforehand of several scenarios for his first conversation with her. So he replied with confidence,

"I know it's hard to trust a stranger like me, but I can prove my goodwill. When you log out of the game, please break your game capsule apart. 

I will send you now the correct way to break it. You will find two groups of foreign objects. A group of black balls and grey cubes.

I do not know the function of each group, but there is no doubt that one of them spies on the player and the other one determines his position.

Isolate them in your room in a way to prevent any spying on you. Be careful in talking to any of your mates or friends too. I don't know how far the people holding you would go to control you. 

My second advice for you is not to trust those around you. Someone might betray you and reveal your secrets in public. That will put you in great danger."

Oya remained silent and her beautiful face did not reveal what she was thinking about. Ibro hoped she would listen to his advice, especially the last one.

He knew very well that she would be killed because one of her friends betrayed her. Oya, on the other hand, wasn't as calm as she looked from the outside. Unlike that poker face of her, there was a great storm inside her mind.

What she understood from his words was very dangerous. She was under surveillance. She was being monitored without knowing about it.

"Ibro... Can I trust you?"
