《From FPS Game to Another World》Chapter 8
Advertisement
I stand up from the bed the then stretch a little. I look around the room to check if something change while I'm sleeping or should I say talking inside my dream, After confirming that nothing is change, I look at the window and see that some sun rays are slipping trough the gaps and telling me that it's already daytime.
I put my goggles back to my Warehouse then equip my Strength Suit then start to walk to the door but I suddenly remembered something and stop.
'If what Zet told me is all true, then my Age should be 33.'
I shudder a little then quickly check my Status and see that my Age is still 25, then I remove my helmet then look at my reflection from the face shield and let out a sigh.
'Nothings change except my hair that return to its original color and got a little longer.'
After confirming I put back my helmet, get out of the room, lock the door and go down the stairs.
I see Pete still standing at the counter, I hand over the key of the room then after receiving it he say.
"Your name is Truend, right? Pelton and the others are already out and leave some message, they said "Thank you so much and see you around. We need to repair all our equipment as soon as possible to be able to work as Adventurers again, we'll be back here later at night." that's all."
"Thank you. Pete, right? I just heard last night."
"Yeah, That's a good show last night. Thank you too."
"It's nothing. I'll be back later."
"You won't eat? It's already mid day."
"I'm not hungry yet, maybe I'll just look for something to eat outside."
After talking to Pete I exit the tavern.
4 Hours later I'm now at the roof of some random house, eating some meat skewer, burger and drinking cola, I bought the meat skewer from the street. I know you want to ask why and this is what happen.

After a couple minutes of walking, I start to wonder why some of the people around got something like a black tattoo at their neck. Maybe the reason I didn't saw it last night is because it's dark and I'm looking at my radar most of the time while walking with the others. After walking some more I get to a place where a lot of people shouting, I get curious and look around and find a sign, what written on it is "Slave Market".
'Does slavery is legal to this world?'
While thinking I hear a big man shouting in one of the platform saying.
"Check this slave people! A Level 25 Female Warrior with fire affinity! Good for some Dungeon, Labyrinth or even in bed if you want! The bidding will start at 5 Gold Coins!"
The one that the big man is pointing at is a chained beast-woman with a rabbit ear at the top of her head and a black tattoo at her neck. After shouting that, a lot of people start to shout their bid.
'So that black tattoo is the mark of a slave huh. I wonder how it work.'
Not caring anymore I walk out of the place and end up in a street with a lot of stall around, I saw different kinds of items, armors, weapons, and even some monster parts, but what caught my attention is a rough gem like thing and when I ask what that is, the vendor just laugh at me as if he finds it amusing, so I drop a Gold Coin in front of him, then he just suddenly freeze and apologize then answer my question and say.
"These are called Monster Core, the bigger it is the higher the value it can be sold. You can use it in a lot of things like health potions, mana potions, antidotes, etc. and the stronger the Monster the bigger the core you can harvest inside of it."

While hearing it I check my Storage that under the Item Shop and look for the Minotaur's Monster Core and find 1 Core only so I ask the vendor.
"You said harvest, does that means you need to take it out from the Monster corpse?"
"Of course, where else do you think you can get these?"
'I have no idea on how to dissect, luckily I can get some loots automatically after killing a Monster, but not all parts I guess.'
After that I bought a Gold Coin worth of Monster Core from the vendor, then put it inside my Storage when no one is looking.
Not finding anything that can catch my attention I think of something.
'Should I try to register at the Adventurers Guild to become an Adventurer too?'
I start to walk pass the vendors, ask some people for the direction of the Adventurers Guild then go there.
I could already see the Adventurers Guild from my position but suddenly someone block my way then say.
"Fight me! The loser will hand all their belonging to the winner!"
I stop and say.
"I don't like."
"Are you scared to lose that Magic Armor?! It will look much good at me!"
"Who cares and it won't fit at you so give it up already."
'though it can auto-adjust base on the one that will wear it.'
While I'm thinking those words, the tall buff guy suddenly rush to attack me with an ax from his back. I just catch with my right hand just before it hit my helmet, then pull it a little making the guy trip forward to me with the sudden action and kick his side, with enough force to make him launch inside an alley, then I trow his ax to his side but I destroy the blade first with my hand.
To my dismay this "Fight me" thing happen a couple of times and all is because of my Suit.
'Maybe going to the Adventurers Guild of this City is not a good idea after all.'
While thinking I suddenly smell something good, so I follow it while ignoring some of the "fight me" guys. After some time I find a stall selling some meat skewer, I buy some then see a little beggar girl from the side and when I look pass her, I can see how that side of this city is rotting.
I call the little girl and hand her a meat skewer which she receive in delight and thank me continuously but she didn't eat it all and when I ask her why she said.
"I'll give the other to my little brother."
Hearing those words I tell her to finish it and give her another one, she again thank me and say that she needs to go because her brother haven't eaten anything for the last 2 days so I said my good byes and the little girl run at some alley and gone from my sight.
'A good soul inside a rotting city. Well I already meet some, I wonder if they're done with the equipment repair.'
I buy some more meat skewer for myself but I didn't eat it on the spot. I walk a little then when I'm sure that no one is around, I jump to the roof of a house that close to my previous spot, I lift my face shield and start to eat the meat skewer, it taste good at least and I also buy a burger and a cola from my Item Mall.
That's what happen on my first 4 hours.
After eating I close my face shield again, go down from the roof of the house and walk randomly to look for something new inside the City.

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
