《Avast Online (DROPPED)》Chapter 002 - Training Hall (Part One)
Advertisement
As Vex toured around town, he notices players in the distant plains, violently murdering rabbits and foxes like it was nothing, only seeing them as experience points. It was utterly disgusting for Vex's sight, his head was down with his hand on his eyes and quickly walking away. Vex decided he wanted to kill monster if their appearance were ugly or it opposed threat to him. Blinded by his hand, he accidentally bumps into a player, his face show ferocious killing intent as he gazed into Vex's eyes. Vex felt shivering in his spines as he slowly apologize whilst backing up very slowly away from the frustrated player. His eyes told him to get lost or he was to curse him forever.
Vex: "Phew!, that was so close!..."
As Vex was walking, he appeared in the square which specialized in craftsman/production classes. In Vex's sight he spotted the Blacksmith's "Armory Forge", the "Herbalist Store" which Vex guessed it was alchemy, "Tailor n Tailor" obviously by the name and also the enchanting store which seems does not have a name yet or so. Vex's curiosity urged him to have a look at their wares but tended to do so after his training at the Training Hall. Vex was quite surprised that his martial arts and swordsmanship were starting to rust a bit, so he decided to polish his skills again once he got there. Despite the fact that he can earn stats by hitting dummies. Vex was drooling, thinking how much stats he were to earn if he trained their half a year.
"Ewww..." as nearby female players walked past him. Vex quickly cleaned his mouth and headed towards the melee square which specialized in combat and marksman. His mapping knowledge from his past researches showed that the "Training Hall" is just around the market, near the forth street on to his right. While Vex was walking, he can hear players whispering to him, "Is he seriously going to the Training Hall","I don't know but shouldn't he be out in the plains with the rabbits and foxes", "Don't mind that noob" as three players were concerned about him. "Hey boy!" as the warrior shouted out loud to Vex but he didn't respond at all.

Vex finally got to the Training Hall, the building's appearance wasn't as he expected. Anyways, he approached the entrance, opens the door and finds himself surrounded with dummies. Then the Instructor was spotted just across the room, Vex called out to the Instructor.
Vex: "Hey! excuse me sir!"
Instructor: "Oh kid!, the weapons are to your left, have fun hitting dummy!" He said with a boring attitude which he didn't care about.
Vex: "Bout time!"
Vex decided to inspect all his status, just to see how his character build will be.
Vex: "Open Status Window!, Equipment! and Inventory!"

Inventory
Vex: "My stats were to be expected, my equipment is basically what I am wearing with no bonuses and my inventory is empty!"
Vex grabbed a bunch of bokken, then he walked to the dummy with a determined face, holding the bokken with his two bare hands and began striking it continuously.
Vex: "5, 6, 7, 8"
He counted the number of strikes he successfully executed.
Vex: "14, 15, 16, 17"
His stamina dropped instantly, but Vex had plenty so he kept going.
Vex: "44, 45, 46, 47"
He continued, he knows his stamina isn't going to quit on him.
Vex: "96, 97, 98 ,99, 100!"
Vex's body dropped to the ground. Vex's stamina was fully diminished, his exhaustion was beyond what he handle back at the training he did since the past 4 years. Since his notifications were at silent, he was shocked to see numerous amounts of notifications popup right in front of his face. It was even noisy when the notification sound came up

Vex: "That's it!, I am staying here for awhile" meaning for about nearly 3 months, he thought about in his head without thinking about the consequences he may face.
Luckily the system did not have any satiety/thirst system function, many players didn't know why it wasn't implemented into the system. Probably they haven't advanced to the digestive system coding yet?, 'Its been 5 years already' but Vex was relieved he can stay inside the training hall for awhile.
Vex: "The Instructor fell asleep..."
Vex is still exhausted, he manages to try meditation. He slowly get into his position, closes his eyes and focuses. As he felt absorption of power from his surroundings, as if its borrowing nature's power to replenish his stamina at is newest form. It felt soothing and calm but I couldn't move as if nature wanted to hold me back till I recover.
Then a notification appeared.
*Ding*

"Haha!, are you serious?" as Vex questioned to himself, wondering why such skill existed in the first place, maybe the developers is a martial artist. "Wait don't tell me that...". Vex will be shocked if Master Shikoku were to be the game's developer. 'It couldn't be him, he doesn't even the know the word 'game''.
As Vex meditated, he couldn't feel his body at all but the soothing effect he felt was nourishing and his power rapidly recovering his stamina back. It was fast but he was worried from his vulnerability state, 'Well it is only me right?' as Vex thought to himself.
Vex's stamina was restored to its maximum capacity and he continued striking the dummy like it was nothing
Vex: "12, 13, 14, 15"
Vex's Stamina was still full, probably the Sword Mastery's effect has kicked in. Its doing a great job.
Vex: "71, 72, 73, 74"
Vex's stamina suddenly dropped, still their were plenty of stamina so he continued without any interruptions.
Vex: "111, 112, 113, 114"
Vex's stamina is running out, but he's not going to stop here
Vex: "146, 147, 148, 149, 150"
And Vex's body dropped to the ground, filled with nothing but pure exhaustion within him. Vex felt his breathing has changed, this strange pattern of breathing had a soothing effect and it felt relaxing against his exhaustion like his throat was not burning afterwards. Moments later, numerous amounts of notifications appeared again.

Vex: "Nice!" with a huge smile in his face
Vex: "I'm going to stay here until the system forces me out of the game"
Hour after hour, nothing but meditating and striking the dummy. His only thoughts were, 'strike, strike, strike' it was unbelievably the worse thing a grinder would do. After numerous days of training, it was about time the system forced him out of the game.
===
The next day, Zane woke up with red in his eyes, his addiction to 'Avast Online' was so much that his childish body could not handle such exhaustion due to practicing from the Training Hall.
When Zane logged into Avast Online, he found himself in the Training Hall. With players sighted in his vision, perhaps it was his time for him to rest. Vex fell into a shock when he went to inspected his stats straight away. His stats were shocking for a Level 1 Novice.
Author Notes:

(I'm taking some time off to rewrite certain scenes and improve the quality of my writing. I'll restart updating the fiction once done it.) Update: at the moment, I don't feel like continuing this story. I'm working on another one in my free time, thus I don't know if I will ever come back to Ereborus. A mercenary has recently arrived at the festive city of Soldra in search of a job, but little do they know that a catastrophe will soon strike the city, causing multiple deaths. The mercenary is among the victims of the disaster. Or maybe not. They wake up again in a dilapidated Soldra where strange creatures now roam around freely. Will they survive in this post-catastrophic scenery and understand what really happened? Disclaimer/Trigger Warning: In future, there will be scenes with gore, graphic deaths and animal cruelty. Moreover, considering that the mc is a non-binary mercenary, cases of PTSD and misgendering may be included. If you are too sensitive to these topics, this story isn't for you. ━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Hello dear visitors!
