"Hmm, now that I'm farming xp. I should be able to get rid of these trashy stats soon. For right now though, I'm fast enough to circle the kolbolts without much danger. So let's just add my stats into strength. That way I can farm faster."

After added both of the stat points into strength. Alex paid attention to nothing else other than ranking up.

Slowly but surely one after another kolbolts fell by Alex's hand. Although after every two kolbolts Alex killed he had too wait for them to respawn. Which wasted precious time.

Alex didn't however waste this time idling. In fact, other than planning out the future in his head and talking to himself. He was striking the air over and over using skills [Chop],[Backslash] all awhile in [Stealth].

Although this method didn't rapidly increase the skill proficiency of each skill they were increasing. Which was better than nothing. Of course nobody tended to use this method of raising skill level because it took way too long but Alex was different.

Why?

He's a total busy body.

After around 4 and a half hours. Alex was pulled out of his trance of grinding from a notification from the in game system.

[You have Levelled up!]

What level is he now, you might ask. Well.

"Level 9 huh, well that really was effective. After adding my stats into strength by the time it reached level 7 . I could kill a kolbolt every time entered the smoke."

"The only problem now is my mana poll. I need to increase it if I want to increase the intensity of my hunting. Especially since I need to come up with over a 100k's worth of XP."

"I guess though that I'm doing ok for myself. Nobody has yet to hit LvL 10. Since the servers would have made a World Announcement but it won't be long until the pro players and nerds who farm all day long close in on it."

"Though, I can rest a little as there shouldn't be anyone a LvL 9 yet."

"Anyways, lets add the two stat points into intelligence for an increase in mana and get on with the grinding."

.

-Shadow Guild-

Meanwhile Alex was grinding. Two women, one dressed in black and red fiery robes and the other dressed in clean white and ocean blue robes where cleaning up on monsters.

"Listen up everyone. Our Shadow Guild will be the first to reach LvL 10. We have been working hard for this so lets keep it up. two more levels and were done."

"You heard the boss, everyone go find a mob and draw it close to Scarlet and Rose." One of the Shadow Guild lackeys announced.

Both women were closing in on LvL 9 and although they had been sharing some XP along the way. They were still around 20000 away from their target.

Scarlet and Rose were sisters in real life. Rose being the older one out of the two. She was a calm person in general. A stark contrast to her sister who was known for being slightly crazy and had a fiery personality.

They both had come from playing the last hit game 'Dungeons Online'. After having caused a storm in game and having gained a reputation for being fierce yet smart. The sister duo was undeniably a strong contender for rising to the top of the guild rankings in The World Of Divinity.

They were naturally ambitious people and they believed if they started off right, it'd only be a matter of time before they reached their goal and surpassed it.

"Rose, let's move deeper into the forest these Brown Bears aren't challenging enough anymore. We have to farm something of higher level."

"Agreed, let's try and find the forest's boss and take it down. That should reward us with some extra XP for a first time boss kill."

Little did they know that Alex had of course killed the creak's boss and they had actually been bidding on the loot that was received from killing it not only half a day ago.

-BlueMoon Guild-

Not too far away from Red Leaf Town, the players from BlueMoon Guild were currently using all of their resources to farm a LvL 5 dungeon on repeat. The [Ice Queens Lair].

"Hahaha, thankfully we managed to buy up all of those mana and health potions from the stall in town. Otherwise, this opportunity would have never had gone to us."

"Yeah, now that I think about it. If we had actually took place in the bidding of that rare item and managed to get it we'd never have been able to grasp this chance."

"Right, right. What's the point in just one person getting LvL 10 if your guild is weak. This way all of our elites can reach it. I bet after we reach level 8 and add our stats into strength. The dam pesky spiders will get one banged."

"Look there's that troublesome Ice Queen Spider again."

"Elites of BlueMoon. Charge!"

"FOR BLUEMOON!"

"FOR BLUEMOON!"

.

.

-Ares Guild-

"Boss, we have brought over a fresh horde of undead monsters just like you asked."

"Thank you, you've worked hard. Don't worry when I reached Level 10 and once I level up again. I will take all of you guys to the big cities."

"Oh and don't worry about being paid. If I get first placement. I'll double everyone's pay."

This arrogant and self centred guy was of course Hunter.

Hunter was the young master of CEO of Health Tech. They manufactured and distributed Smart watches. Used in every day to day life. They were without a doubt filthy rich.

Hunter being a young master, had everything at his disposal. Yet, instead of faulting his wealth publically by throwing huge parties like many others would. He instead spent his wealth on the gaming industry.

Hiring the best players to help him level up. The best Guild management. The whole shibang. He loved the feeling of making his name spread far and wide and the feeling of being superior and being looked up to like a god.

If he could get the first World Announcement like in many other games.

Well the word 'happy' would be a poor way of expressing his feelings.
