Noa. She wasn't home. She should've been home by now. Did something happen to her? My sister Noa,

I had promised to take care of her, a promise to my parents, and myself that I had to keep her safe. I hoped nothing bad had happened.

She hadn't picked up her cell phone. Rushing to her school, I was still unable to find her. Noa. Where was she? Even if she was my step-sister, she was still a part of my family.

Why was my brother trying so hard? We had almost never talked. Evan was my step-brother, My father, and his mother.

Even though we had been together for over a year, even I knew how little we interacted, Yet he would always try his best for me. I never did anything for him. It was his birthday tomorrow, and I had decided to surprise him.

After seeing my brother leave the house, I unlocked the door and brought inside the cake I had recently bought for his birthday. I didn't know what he liked, so i decided to buy a sweater for him.

To ease the burden on my brother, I had gotten a job. He had told me just to study and have fun for the both of us, but I couldn't be at ease when my brother was bearing such a burden for me, who had never done anything for him. I couldn't understand why. I said it over and over in my head, and was unable to understand why.

Where is she? Did I do something wrong? Unable to find her, I returned home. As I opened the door, and there she was.

My dearest sister. She had said something, but I didn't hear her, as I ran and hugged her.

"You're safe, Noa, Thank goodness you're safe, I was so worried."(Evan)

I (Noa) was stunned. Had I accidentally worried my brother? Instead of surprising him with his birthday, I had made my brother worried almost to tears. How terrible was I?

"H-happy birthday, Brother.(Do you want me to use Nii-San?)"(Noa)

It was my birthday. I had entirely forgot about it. My sister... She remembered and had tried to throw a surprise party.

"Thank you... Noa."(Evan)-Wiping his eyes.

How could he be so happy to see me after I had made him so worried? I couldn't understand my brother's seemingly endless kindness. (Noa)

"Here, brother, I didn't know what you liked, so i gave you a cat-plush key-chain. Y-you can return it if you don't like it though."(Noa)

"Thank you Noa, I'll keep it with me, Thanks."(Evan)-replied with a full on smile.

"Let's go eat somewhere, is there any place that you want to try?"(Evan)

"It's fine, I'll go anywhere you want to go, so you can decide."(Noa)

Was it just me, or was she trying to secretly say something?

"If it's okay, I heard that there's a new restaurant the had opened recently, would you mind going there?"(Evan)

"That sounds fine to me, Brother."(Noa)

After they had finished visiting the new restaurant, Evan had checked the forums.

Someone had finally got a pet. Apparently, you were allowed to only use a single pet at a given time, but you were allowed to have up to 3 pets.

Upon reentering the game, he received a message

-World Event-Heaven's PurgeRestrictionsQuest Requirements10000 Players Above Level 15Survive The LongestQuest Rewards???-Depends On Player Ranking

It was the first world event. Apparently, upon 10000 players reaching Level 15, a world event was started. It would begin in 3 HCO days.

In order to survive, I decided that I needed to grind.

I had reached Level 18.

Refine - +2.3% All Stats

His Refine skill would give him a large boost in his stats near the later game, so it was a skill that he treasured. Other than that, he had been able to get a relatively large amount of gold, and he had a decent damage, but he would need to work more towards his VIT, because he had an excessively low hp count, though, it was probably higher than the 10-Point STR players.

87!

Something had attacked Horizon, and it would kll him if it got another attack off, Horizon quickly activated Behold, since he was already aggroed, He would be able to use the speed boost without really changing the situation.

A [Blue] Boss... This could drop something interesting.

Horizon had slashed the goblin twice using his glaive, and then successfully stabbed his sword into the goblin's skull.

The goblin had started to glow a reddish hue. This must be the skill Berserk. If he could live long enough, the side effects of berserk would debuff the goblin. Using his high agility, he was able to throw spears into the goblin.

Occasionally hitting the goblin's head, he continually threw spears at the goblin until he ran out of spear. Having regenerated to his full health with the assist of herbs and potions, he began another melee.

134!

The goblin's hammer flashed, and came ramming into Horizon at a ridiculous speed. Heavy Smash!

103!

What massive damage! Horizon had blocked the attack using both his Glaive, and his sword, and he jumped back to reduce the damage, but he had almost been killed regardless.

Seeing that the Goblin had no longer glowed red, the Berserk timer had run out.

Seeing his chance, Horizon flew towards the goblins and unleashed a flurry of slashes and stabs.

186!

197!

494![Crit]

The Berserk must have really harsh debuff to make the goblin take such large amount of health.

Out of the corner of his vision, he saw the goblin's club flying towards him. It was one of the ??? skills. Crap! Horzon reflexivly jumped to dodge the club, but his glaive was kncked into the air away from him. Horizon turned rapidly in the air and smashed the glaive's pommel.

The glaive flew with frightinging spee towards the goblin's head.

976![Crit]

A massive number appeared and the goblin had glowed brightly for a second before fading.

Kuranel - Goblin Chief has been defeated!

Level Up!

Level up!

He had achieved level 20! He put all his points into VIT, Doubling his Hp.

As the observed the items, he had gotten 16 Silver, a few materials, including a silver ingot, worth 4 silver ores, 2 White items, and 1 Blue Item.

+10 VIT, +7 AGI

This was an amazing sword! His dancer class would also allow him to handle light, one-handed swords. He would be able to steal life, which would be especially helpful considering his low HP, and his high damage. The {Goblin Chief's Saber] had over double the damage of his current weapons, and gave him bonus stats. Horizon without a thought switched it with his current sword.

Upon reaching level 20, an intermediate class progression was now avalible.

As the world event would start in 1 day, I needed to equip myself with better weapons and armor. Withiut a forge, i wouldnt be able to efficeintly create weapons or armor, so i had decided to go to another town.

Raier, as the town was called, was filled with players and NPCs. After finding the nearest forge, I had started to create the weapons that I would need. I had discovered that my Weapon Smith skill and my Blacksmith skill both had increased the qualities of the items I would create. After making 2 Green Armors and 1 green blade, i had started working with the silver ingot that I obtained from the boss. As Taron, had explained that the better the ores were the higher the qualities, he had also said that alloys could have differing properties when mixed in different amounts. Using Iron and the Silver, I was able to create another glaive, but this time It's tier was green-superior.

The -superior suffix meant that it would be at the peak of the green tiers, and comparable with some blue tier weapons.

This was great, another weapon that he could use. It was slightly more than double the previous glaive's damage range.

He also equipped the armor that he made, but they were ordinary armors with no special effects, and we're a plain green tier.

The Event Is Beginning

Another message appeared immediately after I had closed the previous message.

Do you want to participate in the event? There will be limited-time rewards.

Horizon had already planned to join the event, so he confirmed that he would be participating.

Event Rules:

You are allowed to kill other players, this will not affect your status, (Red players) and they will drop items normally as if killed. Killing players do not grant any bonuses in rewards. A new feature has been added. The Hunger bar will decrease over time, and as the lower it gets, the lower your base stats will be. As a up-side, food may give slight increases and buffs.

And so, Horizon was teleported to a new location. It was a large arena, at least 10km squared, and he was competing with 2500 other players, and so, there must have been 4 arenas, with 2500 players in each. Wait no, some players might have declined, so maybe only 3 arenas, as Horizon deducted. After checking over his equipment, he reinforced some of them using his blacksmith skill. It would be starting soon.

Event: Heaven's Purge has begun.

Please notify me if there are any holes within the plot, or any areas that need more explaining.

Also, if someone pointed out my many mistakes, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for reading.
