Advertisement
It's finally the day of the festival, the villagers were little surprised by the sudden festival holding but where happy with it none the less, gathered in the grassy lands outside the village they were seated in the comfy wolf seat cushions around the bonfire.
Several activities were held ranging from card games to dancing, drinking challenges on who gulps done most under a minute, eating contest and such was also held, the mood was great and every body was enjoying the festival and as it reached the end fireworks were launched, it was a complete success with a loud boom the sky's were filled shower of brown and red colored sparks which was released from the small fused crystal pellets.
The old guy from the village center approached me "Quite a nice thing you did, though you skipped a few things I can see you put in effort for making the people happy, not many do it nowadays, I don't really know your reason for doing so but good things need to be repaid by good things, here is the letter addressing my son, he is head of the guards for Rain arrow town, deliver it to him and he may help you with your troubles" saying so he gives me a letter written in wolf skin, putting it in inventory I bid farewell and as I leave a message pops up.

The heck since when did I hold it in honor of a goddess, well doesn't really matter I guess, I sure could use the regeneration bonus, but bah I have got nothing to do here, no use wasting time let's head to town.
After hours of night hunting and traveling I reach the Rain Arrow town, it was in a strange star shape covered by stone walls on all sides, looked quite old, anyway I was stooped at the gates and questioned a little but was soon let in after my status and level was checked, asking the way for the nearest Inn from the guard, I left towards the pointed direction.
As I entered the inn, I found the inn keeper sleeping behind the counter, half guilty I tried waking him up.
"hmm.....Hon. .ey. ....darling. ....I ..am...so...r...you. .let....me.....in" mumbled the half asleep innkeeper, that sounded like someone that's been kicked out I guess?
After a few more pokes he woke up but was still half asleep, after paying for the room and getting the key, I left him and headed ton the room, hitting the bed I logged out.
As you may or may not know beginner villages are safe zones were you can't rob or kill anyone but in town or cities you can do that and only safe places are inns and houses. It's been 3 days in real life and starting tomorrow will be the real start, but then again should I login into other games, well it can wait for a while I guess let me just check something though.
The other games are post apocalyptic zombie filled world, space adventure, GTA type modern world, the character in zombie world is undergoing surgery, space adventure game character is on a long trade trip which should last a month and can be left in auto pilot, GTA character is doing nothing special, hmm. ?....I wonder what's Gina has been up to, we'll it can wait I guess.

Moving to the phone I skim through the voice messages, 3 new messages, 1 from coworker and 2 from game mates,
"Dude you should have seen the managers face when he read your resignation letter, especially the part about your reason for resigning, it was hilarious, but then again he should have been prepared for at least that much, ah well congratulations on happy life I guess, call me in game when you create new character"
"Hey what's with the sudden character deletion, please tell me you didn't sell the assassin set, mail me your new id"
"Captain there, the price for Q-345 has decreased severly should I still buy it, it's market may crash..... "
Hmm well normal I guess, few hours of healthy workout and tasty meal later I hit the comfy bed for the night, waking up refreshed next morning, I head for the morning jog.
Few hours later I find myself in front of my favorite cake shop, well two good reason to visit every day, one the very sweet yet not so overwhelming cake and two overwhelmingly cute lady at the counter, whose personality is as sweet as her looks, now don't misunderstand me since I for one know it will all go downhill if I try anything with her, but it sure is nice having short chits chats now and then.
Ah well time to head back to gaming i guess, i bid my farewell after the short chat, the shop was empty since it's early morning and the lady seems to switch back to her bored mood as i head out of the store, i rush back home and after a nice shower and change of clothes I jump straight in to the VR capsule.

A wise old grandpa in a ring. An ancient weapon to unleash one's true potential. An unorthodox teacher who emerges from obscurity to provide heroes with enlightenment. In a cultivation world, those who would rise to the top usually have some sort of advantage that propels their rapid ascent. Things that many would offer their souls to obtain. Ebon Dirge, a fallen devil descended from the highest realms of the divine, is more than happy to accept their payment. Thwarted by the machinations of the mightiest beings in the universe, he is forced to begin anew in the lands of the weakest mortals. To prepare for the ultimate confrontation, he has hatched a plot to steal the best weapon of all: destiny. Whether it is a downtrodden youth in the savage wilds, a prince driven to desperation by the royal web tangled around him, or the students and staff of an illustrious magical academy... all should beware what they wish for. They just might get it. For a price, of course. --- PROGRAMMING NOTE This is a wholly rewritten version of the novel that originally began in 2018, not a copy-paste of those original chapters.
