"Whats Kyoko doing"

Saito had arrived at school as planned, Mr Sasaki used his connections to get him back into school. However, a part of their deal hadn't been fulfiled yet. Kyoko stood in front of the class with a blazing red face, she had never apologised to anyone since her birth and found it to be embarrassing. The class was also confused due to her actions, she had been standing there for a minute now trying to get herself together.

"I would like to apologise to Satio Ushiba, the incident was not his fault but mine"

Kyoko bowed towards Saito before making her way towards her seat, the whole class was dazed due to her actions. Kyoko who came from a family with influence and power had bowed down to a normal student. Saito who was currently sitting in his seat glanced at Kyoko with a faint smile, he hadn't expected Kyoko to actually go against her pride and fulfil the promise.

Arata and Mika who were seated next to Kyoko were also dazed.

"How did you get her to do that? and whats with your hair, are you getting into Kpop"

Arata was yet again confused with Saito's behaviour. Saito had come in without any hair colour or contact lenses since he found it too tiring to go through the process every morning.

"It's not hair colour, hanging around with you made my hair go white at a young age. I feel like I've already lost 50 years of my life."

Mika who was sitting nearby giggled due to Saito's comment. it took a while for the class to recover no one expected Saito to be back in class anytime soon, or the fact that Kyoko apologised. even though it took place right before their eyes they couldn't accept it.

"So are you jumping on during the holidays?" (Arata)

"if I get time then sure" (Saito)

"Whats your username?" (Arata)

"I was going to go with Kirito..."

"Please don't..."

"Let me finish! my username is Saito"

"that's not creative at all"

The school day ended without any trouble since it was the last day of school the teacher didn't bother going through a lesson allowing Saito to sleep for the whole day. Saito waved goodbye to his friends and made his way to the flat since his last trade Saito got a hint of how much he could make whilst playing the game. He decided to reach the top rankers and set up his own guild to attract various companies, this way he could make life easier for himself and for Ishawa and his family.

'System Starting'

'Syncronising'

'Logging in'

"I'm finally back"

Saito had spawned near the town hall inside the village he had visited previously, he immediately checked his inventory for any loss of items. however, nothing had dropped which was quite strange since he had surely died at the hands of the goblin king.

"System Log"

[Player Saito Died, Killed By The Goblin King]

[Choosing Random Item To Drop From Inventory]

[Error]

[Random Item Drop Restricted]

"huh? I guess my account is glitched"

"Status Screen"

All his stats remained the same except his level since he had killed the Goblin King which was a level 25 monster the amount of experience he received was huge, he had instantly levelled up to 6.

"every 2 levels I get 1 stat points which I can distribute, which means I should have 3 stat points"

"System how many stat points do I have available"

[you currently have 3 stat points available, And 6 Skill Points. Skill points can be distributed to skills to level them up]

"Since I don't have a class yet I don't know what stat to focus on, it's better to not waste them"

Saito accessed his inventory and took out a black feather.

[Item Name: Lucifers Feather

Item Type: Class Item

Item Tier: God Tier

Item Description - The soul of Lucifer Morningstar was trapped within this item upon his demise.(Unlocks God Tier Class 'Lucifer')(Soul Bound)]

"A Class item? I guess the fight was worth it after all"

Saito used the item after a while of thought, what kind of effects would the class have on his body outside of the game. however, if he wanted to make progress and catch up with the others he had no other choice.

[Contract Initiated, Would You Like To View The Contract's terms and conditions?]

"I don't have any time to waste"

A rolled up paper appeared before Saito floating in front of his face. Since Saito couldnt afford to waste anymore time, he decided to skip the terms and conditions.

[Would You Like To Accept The Contract]

"I guess its a fancy way of acquiring your hidden class. Yes"

[Contract Signed Players Soul Has Been Combined With The Contractor]

The Paper suddenly lit up in black flames disappeared in mere seconds.

[Hidden Class Aquired]

[Characters Status has faced changes]

[New Skills available]

"Status screen"

Name - Saito Level - 6 Atk - 30 Con - 30 Title - Beginner Agi - 30 Int - 30 Race - Angel Luk - 30 Wis - 30 Class - Fallen Angel Lucifer Dex - 30 Vit - 30

"My Stats have increased yet again!"

Saito stared at his status screen in shock, each stat point was precious in Grand Quest this had been repeatedly explained to Saito by Arata. One stat point could make the difference between life or death in battle, villager Npc's usually had 1-2 stat points on each stat whilst players were born with 4-5 stat points distributed randomly. Due to the angel class, Saito had started with an insane amount of stat points distributed between the stats. upon using the new class item all of them have been balanced to 30 turning him into a monstrous player.

"Skill Screen"

Personal Skills -

Advanced Dagger Throw (0/10) - Allows the player to throw daggers at an astonishing speed

Sub Class Skills -

Special Class Fallen Angel -

Fallen Wings (Max) - Allows Player To Fly Freely without any restraints

Notice! - Player Has Not Reached The Requirement To Reveal All Skills

'So I need to fulfil some requirements to gain access, Still being able to obtain flight must be quiet amazing and its already at max level. And there's also a subclass, I need to ask Arata about it if I have the opportunity I wanna go with theif. Although being able to use magic outside of the game is cool I feel like a class such as a theif would help me get away from trouble easily whilst maintaining a low profile. besides when I'm pretty sure the Fallen Angel class will provide magic as long as I continue to unlock its skills'

Grand quest online does not focus on damage, as long as a player has the skill they are able to fight bosses without relying on the level. Although stats such as strength do have huge benefits, equipment, on the other hand, does not provide damage boosts unless it has increased sharpness or other special effects. in the recent update, the developers have also taken down Hp bars to make the experience feel more realistic.

'Since I don't know what type of class "Fallen Angel" is ill refrain from using my stat points until I can gather more information'

"Ok let's test out my strength now"

Saito Headed back to the fields in search of goblins, although he had faced them before and experienced the unusual event. Even if they are real and are living beings, In Saito's eyes they are no more than animals. Without killing them Saito won't be able to progress in life, and without that, he would be holding back Ishawa and his family making them go through financial problems in the future.

"I can make them live a hard life, he has a family, a son that he has to take care of. instead of saving up for his university fee's he treated me like his son and got me into a private school whilst paying for my accommodation. I cant keep living like this for their sake and for mine"

Saito picked up a rock which laid in front of him aiming for a goblin in the distance, without any signs of hesitation he launched the rock with his full strength.

"...."

Without giving the goblin any chance to retaliate the small piece of rock had pierced the goblins head leaving it lifeless, in fact, the goblin didn't even notice his death.

"This strength..."

Saito was truly shocked, he now understood why stat points were so precious to players. a difference of 2 stat points could be considered as a decent gap.

"A warrior at the current stage of the game should have around 11 stat points on strength, Which means I'm around three times stronger than a level 26 warrior."

Since it has already been a month and a few weeks the players on the leaderboard range from level 29-31 after level 30 players are meant to face their first wall making it extremely difficult to level up due to the amount of XP needed. The developers of GQO have announced that there is no level limit, however, they suspect that they won't be any player going beyond level 100 due to difficulty in levelling at that stage of the game. in fact, only a few players may reach that level and could be counted in one hand. Defeating bosses first allows you to secure your seat as one of these five for the future since first clears give two times the amount of XP that a player would receive from clearing the same boss after the first.

Saito wasn't clueless when it came to this, he had already noticed that by obtaining the Fallen angel class he had an overall of 240 stat points distributed. This was truly a god class, even if a player reached level 100 they would only be able to obtain 50 stat points adding the 40 which is distributed randomly as soon as the account is created they would have an overall of 90 stat points that's not even half of what Saito has obtained already.

Upon understanding his situation Saito decided to save up his stat points which he would accumulate in the future, that way he would be able to distribute it on stats which he finds useful outside of the game and inside. he also needed to learn how to control his strength in case of emergencies.

Saito continues farming goblins by throwing rocks, even without using his skill "Advanced Dagger Throw" he was able to pierce through the goblins as if they were thin sheets of paper. after hours of farming the sun started to set within the game, Saito decided to head back to the village satisfied with his gains. He had massacred all the goblins around the village leaving none alive, this allowed him to gain enough exp to reach level 10.

"System Log Out"

After logging out Saito made his computer in order to research monsters since he had the stats it would only make sense to use them to his advantage, farming stronger monsters would give him more exp allowing him to catch up with the veteran players level wise.

BlueFlames -Goblins are the worst to farm stay away from them-

Sparkles -Yeah I agree its a waste of time to farm them, they have pretty good defence and don't give much exp-

KillerX -I saw a veteran player with his team trying to farm Kobolds they give high exp, but do really high damage, so the veteran gave up-

"Hmm seems like people don't like sharing much information about their farming routine, I guess ill farm kobolds as long as I keep my range I should be ok"
