《Slade the Shade》Chapter 6: Forum and new unique weapon.

"Say less, I will be back as soon as possible," Slade said with relief in his voice as he gets to leave this place.
"Before you leave, I will lend you a weapon. Farewell and beware dangerous beings lurk everywhere, it's wise not to offend anyone you see" said its husky voice while its eyes seemed to pierce my soul to get such information.
"Advice noted."
The next thing Slade noticed was the being lifting its hand with claw-like fingers leaving behind wisps of shadows as it extended one of its fingers before touching his forehead before he can think of what was happening his surrounding changed.
[Welcome to the beginners' village No.400.]
'Finally, I don't know who or what that was, but that was epic, can't wait to complete this quest' Slade thought as he saw a village containing lots of small houses surrounded by wooden fences and a few watchtowers. He could see many players like him wandering in and out with better equipment and probably better levels.' I'm just going to set this place as my respawn point before logging out and taking a nap.'
As he started to walk toward the village he saw three players walk toward him. He looked into his inventory and was shocked by what he saw, but he decided to inspect them later as he walked into the village.
[Do you want to set this village as your respawn point.]
'yes'
[Respawn point has been set.]
When he decided to log out he was scared when the log out button was not there, just kidding he just mentally called out and he was back in his empty room. Slade just napped in the pod for two hours as he was tired. He looked around his room and thought about how he can't wait for the currency conversion update. As this is the first of its kind, not a lot of people would invest in the game this early, but when they see how many people would be playing the game globally they would start the update. By then Slade would start to make a living again.

A melodious ringtone started to play before Slade sighed and picked up his phone."Hey Jean, it's been a while."
"Hey man is everything good, I heard you sold everything you had." came a concerned voice from the phone.
"Yeah, haha, it was my investment into the new game Limits, which I'm sure you heard of by now."
"Why wouldn't I, I bought the platinum pod already, you know if you asked I could have bought one for you too."
"I know, but I decided to be serious with this, I feel like this is my chance, and besides when the next update comes I will be rolling in it."
"Well, I wish you the best, and when you get the chance add me as a friend by searching for "ladykiller". Until next time."
"Yeah later," he said before he ended the call.
With nothing else to do, he started to check the forum for the game on his phone. A few guides on how and where to level up faster, which NPCs give the best quests, and what other players have found so far. A few hours later he found a lot of s*mps for the goddess, how to get certain skills, and a lot of trolling. What is interesting is that quite a few people already changed their race inviting envy from the people as not only do they cool but they give out certain skills and buffs, and what he gathered so far he has been the only 'lucky player' to be thrown into the wastelands. Mainstream players are now mostly level 6, while experts are already level 7, and rumors of a few level 8s.
The second time he logged on was as smooth as it could be, just select the game and he was already standing in the middle of the village. After he found a bench he sat down and started sorting out what was new in his inventory. First, he took out a scroll and inspected it.

Next, he brought the lent weapon, which was two meters tall with a wicked blade that was one and a half meters. It was a big scythe with a black metal handle with blue pulsating lines leading to the edges of the razor-sharp blade.

Slade just stared wide-eyed at the overpowered weapon as just one of its properties will allow me to dominate this area.' It's a wonder why he lent me this weapon, as it would be very hard for me to actually turn it.'
With a new weapon and newfound determination, it is time to power level.

Hero
Kuren is just your average boy. He's just been asleep for one thousand years. Heroes and grand epics. Kuren doesn't have the time to think about things like that, nor does he really care. Join Kuren as he wanders the fantasy land of Alurca in search of his lost memories and the reasons behind his lengthy slumber. This is sort of a reboot of Anomaly, the first novel I tried to write. I gave up Anomaly after going to college. I thought about going back to it, but... when I look at it now, it's not very good. It was very edgy and not much substance behind that edge. The story wasn't quite going anywhere since I hadn't given the main character a goal. I had planned out a story, but I forgot to to plan out the details between the beginning and end. So this one's for real. Hopefully you won't be disappointed.
