Noob Player Chapter 6
Advertisement
"I don't know you!" Shen was aware that there was nothing good to stay longer around this man. He turned around, but a hand tried to hold him back.
Bzzzt!
The hand was electrocuted and the man screamed, "Arghhh!"
[Harasser detected! Stay away from him!]
Shen turned around to see the man was shaking his hand with a big red alert on top of him. It was the Harassment System that Sky set. The player could not just touch the other players without consent.
As for the warning, it used to embarrass the harasser and a warning. If he kept touching the player, he would get electrocuted with level 5 Pain Tolerance. Just like what he did experience just now.
"Damn! I forgot this game has a shitty Harassment System!" The man cursed out, the pain was so real just like the game.
Soon the surroundings were attracted by the static system voice that reached a hundred meters radius. Everyone looked toward the man with the red text above his head.
Everyone subconsciously took two steps backward, avoiding the man like he was a plague. Isolating the group of six from the crowd.
"What do you see? Go away!" The man was so embarrassed that led to his anger. He shouted at the crowd, but he was scorned and given a disgusted look by the crowd.
Shen took this chance to escape. It was never good to stick around with this kind of troublesome person. It was better to get off this place soon before they barked back at him.
He sneaked out of the crowd, leaving the group to be embarrassed by themselves. It was not his fault in the first place, it was them who started it. He was not feeling guilty for them.
Following the paved street, he was heading toward the massive wall. He believed that was the direction toward the outside of the city. Just like the motto, the game did not have quests, like an NPC quest, nothing like that.

After five minutes of walking, he finally got to see the massive gate. He looked up in awe, it was so massive, "Around twenty meters tall, maybe?" He muttered in a low voice.
Shen shook his head and walked toward the door below the gate. A smaller door was opened with the armored guard watching the door. He could see a stream of players were in a line trying to get out too.
He did not waste his time as he immediately ran behind the line. There were five lines, and all of them were long lines. He was not sure how many starter cities for his region, but he could see a stream of players around him. There should be thousands of players in this city alone.
The line quickly shortened to his turn. The guards did not check him or do something to the players. They were there just to make sure they were in order. He quickly came out of the city and found he was on a big main road. The road was paved while the two sides of the road were grass fields.
He quickly noticed there were no mob monsters around. The stream of the players was kept following the main road. The hunting zone was not here, he had to walk further the main road.
"I think this is a bad idea to hunt the low-level mobs, but if I don't grind right now, I will be left behind quickly," Shen muttered while following the main road. He was unsure how big the hunting ground was. Could the hunting spot be big enough to accommodate all these players? Or would they have enough monsters to hunt?
Quickly he would find out about that soon. After like two hundred meters of following the main roads, he saw a stone bridge that connected the land that got divided by a huge river.
As he reached the stone bridge, Shen followed everyone's gazes. They were looking to the left side, wondering what they were looking at, and he also turned to the left. A hundred meters followed the stream, the river was heading toward a big crevice.

He remembered the name of the crevice because it was one of the famous spots in the world of Tribe Online. The crevice was named God Burial because no man could come out once they entered the crevice.
Soon he was aware of where he was, City of Eternal Wind. The city was located near God Burial, so he quickly found out about it.
The tales behind the God Burial were recorded in a book in the Royal Library of Eternal Wind. It said ten masters that were divided into three groups entered the God Burial to find out what was inside the endless-looking crevice.
The three groups entered the crevice at different times. Since Shen was interested in the story, he read the whole thing on the official site. The first group entered like seven hundred years ago, he forgot the exact time.
Two Masters in combat and one Master Cook. Yes, a cook was following the two masters into the dangerous expedition. Kinda stupid but that was the story. None of them came back from the God Burial after years.
The second group entered the God Burial fifty years later. In the same composition, a warrior, a famous assassin, and a Potion Master entered the crevice. Two combat Masters and one support, but again, the history repeated. None of them came back from the God Burial.
The third group entered the God Burial a hundred years after the second group. The last group was more prepared than the first two groups. One Hunter Master excelled in combat, identifying traps, and also good at hunting monsters. Poison Master, his work was to detect if their path was poisonous or not. Master Builder, the one who created the path to go down. And the last one was Blacksmith Grandmaster, he was assisting the Master Builder and the Hunter.
That was a better combination than the first two groups. However, the tragedy repeated, they were never seen again after they entered the crevice. That was why the crevice was named God Burial. No man could come out of the crevice because a God rested in the crevice.
That was a good story, Shen, who was not a fan of reading easily hooked by the story, "I wonder what is inside the crevice?" He muttered in a low voice. It was a lie if he was not curious, but it stayed as a curiosity. There was a saying "Curiosity killed the cat", he did not want to be a cat, get killed by his curiosity.
While his thought was somewhere else, he did not realize that he was on the other side of the bridge. It was until he heard an unpleasant screech. He snapped out of his thoughts and looked toward the voice.
Shen saw many players were hunting the mob monsters. It was to be expected the generic mob monster, a giant rabbit around seventy centimeters with red eyes. The screech came from the rabbit.
Its long ears stood up and screeched at the player. Apparently, it was a skill that made the players enter a dizzy state. He could see many people were swaying around after hearing the screech.
"This will be a tough grinding," he muttered in a low voice. Even the weakest monster had a skill, it would be hard to kill them. He walked further to find a grinding spot for himself.
Shen was not a troublemaker who would kill-steal the other player's target. He liked more peaceful grinding. As he walked three hundred meters following the main road, he found a less crowded area.
"I guess I will hunt here," he was about to take his Rusty Sword out from his inventory until he heard a familiar voice.
"Hahaha, found you!"

8 193My Intergalactic Boyfriend
Rae is an 18 year old boy, with "Fluffy Cat-Like Ears and a Tail", who is going into his senior year in high school at the lowest point in his life. Rae has been relentlessly bullied and tormented for his entire childhood because of his physical differences. When Rae's last bit of hope for a life with meaning is crushed, the Cosmos decides to send him a guide to help him find his Purpose and grant him Love. First and foremost this is a Science Fiction, Fantasy-Adventure story. The story has a strong "Slow-Burn" Gay Romance sub-plot (Male x Male / Boy x Boy) that is central to the events in the story. (i.e. Characters are not going to fall in love with each other immediately.) You will likely find that the pacing in the beginning is intentionally slower than some other stories. To some it may even resemble a slice-of-life / school-life style story early on. This is intentional and is my personal choice for character developement and world-building, but I assure you there will be plenty of Fantasy and Adventure later in the story. Hopefully, the various mix of elements will appeal to a wide range of readers. This story is published only on: RoyalRoad / Tapas / Wattpad This story is published only under the ScreenName: SpuriousSimulacrum
