[Ding ....your level up to level 1, HP +10, MP +10, gained 5 status points of basic attributes!]

Xie Feng who had just killed his 4th wave of wolves finally raised from level 0 to level 1.

​​

Since the virtual reality game opened its servers for the first time until the moment in which Xie Feng raised of level the time passed in total is of approximately 50 minutes.

However, the amount of real time that Xie Feng was grinding monsters and gaining experience was only about 20-30 minutes.

"Finally." -Xie Feng murmured to himself.

He bent down to pick up the copper coins dropped by the wolves along with the items and threw them into the inventory.

Xie Feng looked inside his inventory and saw that he already had the 50 wolf fangs that the village guardian needed. However, he still had no plans to leave the territory he was in.

Xie Feng opened his status window and observed his basic attributes. After thinking for a moment he used the 5 status points he had just gained from leveling up.

His status window now looked like this:

[Player: Shiva]

Level: 1

Battle zone: China

VIT: 7

STR: 9

AGI: 4

INT: 10

Charm: 20

Luck: 10

The reason that Xie Feng increased his STR attribute is because a moment ago he discovered something that stunned him.

After killing his 3rd wave of red-eyed wolves Xie Feng, out of curiosity tried to equip a sword. What a surprise he received when he realized that in reality, the Ring of the God of Destruction allowed it!

Xie Feng could not believe what was happening. A wizard who uses a sword? This is insane!

However, looking at the sword in his hand, Xie Feng had no choice but to accept that all this was not a dream and that it was really happening.

[Long sword]

Requirements: Level 1

Grade: Steel

Properties: Attack +3

Now, his HP / MP / Magic Attack and Physical Attack looked like this:

HP: 280

MP: 1110

Magical attack: 170

Physical attack: 21

After some thought, Xie Feng came to the conclusion that the Ring of the God of Destruction, for some unknown reason, rejects magic weapons but not physical ones.

Be that as it may, Xie Feng was delighted to be able to use physical weapons after all his favorite style was always close-combat. Now, Xie Feng could not only fight melee but he could also perform terrifying magical attacks.

The only thing that made Xie Feng regret was the frightening amount of experience he needs to level up.

He needed approximately 50 level 5 wolves to level up from level 0 to level 1. This meant that, a player would normally need about 25 wolves to level up.

This was due, naturally, to the Prohibition of Heavens curse that the ring possesses.

Prohibition of Heavens: All experience gained is reduced to half.

Xie Feng shook his head while thinking logically:

"There is no way that such a terrifying object does not have a punishment. Besides, right now the ring has 4 seals; who knows, maybe when the seals are lifted the curses will be removed too."

As Xie Feng walked south, back to the beginner's village to finish the mission and get his reward, he was also thinking about the strange feeling this world gave him and the strange things that happened to him.

However, there was one thing that Xie Feng was sure of:

It doesn't matter if it's the real world or the virtual world, there was no such thing as a fair world.

***

Xie Feng returned by the same route he had taken before and saw that the territory of the sheep was still absent of male players, while the territory of the pitiful little rabbits was still full of players.

Every time a rabbit appeared it was immediately attacked by a rain of spells and cuts of swords and daggers.

Xie Feng took a step into the beginner's village. Many little birds sang and the surroundings were full of ancient medieval style, this characteristic could make many people have a good feeling. Even the corner of Xie Feng's mouth was slightly raised.

At the beginning village, there were only a few houses which were thinly scattered. Even at this moment, it was crowded with players but at the time of opening, the crowd was far too exaggerated.

Xie Feng went to the center of the square, to where the village guardian was.

"Hello again, village guardian."

The village guardian smiled like a kind old man and responded:

"Oh, it's you, young man. I see that you have raised your level quickly, you have talent. Very soon you will be able to fight the wolves."

The edge of Xie Feng's mouth shrank several times when he heard the words of the Guardian. Xie Feng coughed and pulled out the wolf fangs from his inventory as he talked:

"Well, actually I have already collected the 50 fangs you asked for, here."

The village guard unconsciously stretched out his hand and took the fangs of a dazed wolf. Soon, the old man's eyes opened wide as he looked at the teeth in his hands and whispered:

"It really is 50 wolf fangs..."

The village guardian looked at Xie Feng with his eyes wide open and asked in shock:

"Wolves are definitely level 5 monsters. How could you get 50 fangs so fast when you are level 1?"

Xie Feng was a little pleased to see the old man's reaction as he responded casually:

"It's not that hard, really. For some reason, since I was a child I'm a little different from the others."

The village guardian came out of his daze and sighed as he praised him honestly:

"You really are an incredible warrior. Very few can challenge monsters above their level with a rookie kit. What's more, wolves are command-fighting monsters that rely on their incredible agility to move, making it very difficult to dodge their attacks."

The guardian smiled again and said:

"Here, young warrior. This is your reward"

[Ding! .... you have successfully completed the mission of the Guardian of the Beginner's Village number 666]

[Ding! You have received 20 copper coins / You have received 5 red potions small / You have received 5 blue potions small / You have received experience]

[Ding ....your level up to level 2. HP +10, MP +10, gained 5 status points of basic attributes!]

When the third system message sounded in his ears, Xie Feng was surprised at first but then he understood.

Because the mission granted by the Guardian was intended for players of level 4-5-6, the experience granted was corresponding to those levels.

Therefore, Xie Feng being level 1 and completing such a mission would naturally move up a level faster. Even with the Prohibition of Heaven's curse, his experience bar was completely filled causing his level to go up from 1 to 2.

[Red Potion (S)]

Recovers 300 HP points within 6 seconds.

Cooldown: 12 seconds.

Note: can be used with blue potions at the same time.

[Blue Potion (S)]

Recovers 300 MP points within 6 seconds.

Cooldown: 12 seconds.

Note: can be used with red potions at the same time.

A single small red potion can recover Xie Feng's HP completely in less than 6 seconds, while a small blue potion can regenerate more than 1/4 of his MP.

However, mana potions are practically unnecessary for Xie Feng as the Ring of the God of Destruction has a 10% MP regeneration per second. At the beginning of the game, this 10% may seem low, but the more the stages of the game progress and the players get better equipment, the mana will naturally increase.

There will come a point where even big mana potions will not be very useful. But Xie Feng can recover 10% of his mana per second no matter how much his MP increases.
