Hello people. Here is the next chapter. Gonna cut it here cuz whatever I put next is gonna use a lot of words. Will save those for the next chapter. I plan to do a thing with the next set of chapters. If the thing fails, my update schedule remains the same: inconsistent as hell. If the thing is successful, this book might finally have a consistent schedule. I'll let y'all know at the next of the next chapter or two if the thing fails or not. Enjoy your day/night :) *Munches on gummy worms*
The Garuda player and his squad from the guild have finally returned to the Seaside Village. Unlike the trip to the pirate hideout that took 5 hours, the return trip only needed half that time. The Garuda player mainly returned here instead of continuing his hunt or returning to his guild as he was curious to see the results of that quest he never got the chance to finish. He was also interested in seeing if he would be able to meet that strange Lycan player he had initially pursued. Unfortunately, his second wish would go unanswered for quite a time. Upon entering the location of the Seaside Village, what greeted the Garuda player and his squad was essentially a ghost town. The village lacked any sign of life and it looked like its inhabitants were in quite the rush to leave. At this point, one squad member, a Lycan, spoke up, "Looks like these guys wasted no time in making themselves scarce as if wanting to avoid us like the plague. What say you now, Boss?" The G
It's been a few days since Kirou returned to the with his new residents. During this time, both old and new residents worked hard to turn the shallow and empty area into a proper village. With the initial houses Kirou had built as a base and starting area, the village extended a bit into the forest, with the goal being to recover land for both farming and extending the village even further in the future. Unsurprisingly, all residents decided to keep living above ground, leaving the passage that led to the pier being the only path they trod. In contrast, the remaining floors were left for Kirou's purposes after all the excavation work was complete. Speaking of the excavation work, Kirou was given a surprise earlier that day when he explored the two floors situated above the pier and below the village on the surface. It seems that during the time that he was away from the village and holed up in the pier area after returning, his residents had come together to fully ex
Grand Desolate Continent, Country of Teng Yun, Barrier City.Currently at the mansion of the City Lord where a party was being held.Looking over all the members in attendance from a corner with a glass of wine in his hand we find an average looking man in a sharp suit. Unlike the rest of the members in the hall, this man's presence was for something else entirely.Slowly as the hour grew late we find more and more people are starting to say their farewells to the host before heading out. As he noticed his target taking their leave, the average looking man in the sharp suit finished the remainder of his wine then placed the empty glass on a nearby table before walking back to the corner he was originally in where he disappeared into the shadows as if he was never there, unseen by anyone.Outside.Currently, the average looking man was tailing his target for the evening, a man in
It's the year 2095.Imperial City, Downtown Area.Yonmu Imperial Hospital.In a VIP room, we currently find a young man in his twenties resting on a bed with a few machines beside him making beeping sounds. This young man could not be considered as handsome but he was above average in looks.He has short, black hair and dark brown skin, signifying that he's of mixed descent. His body could not be called bulky or muscular since his body was more on the slim side but he does have some well-developed muscles underneath his hospital gown so lean would be what most people used.He was fairly tall, reaching 183cm in height, and weighed roughly 70kg. Currently, a few cords were sticking out of his arms, connected to the machines next to the bed and he was sleeping quite peacefully with no change to the peace of the room.A few minutes later, however, we find the you
It's been roughly a week since Kirou left the hospital and resumed working at the Sanming Gaming Studio as Wang Xu. During this time, no one was able to notice any differences between both individuals. Granted, this was mainly because Wang Xu himself never really socialized that much with the others.Currently, Kirou was making his final round of checking for the day. It's his fifth one for the day with his partner, Shang Yin. Shang Yin was another recruit to the security detail stationed at Sanming, but unlike Wang Xu, he was quite a social person. Even the antisocial Wang Xu found himself caught up in Shang Yin's pace whenever the two were working together.As they were returning to the guard station, Shang Yin decided to strike up a conversation with Kirou, "Hey Brother Wang, have you tried the new game that our company is currently active in yet?""Not yet. I've read up on it for a bit after leaving the hospital last
Kirou looked around as soon as his vision returned to him. He was currently near the center of a rural village. Though it has been at least a full week since Immortal Era was launched, you could still find quite a few people moving around the village.As Kirou was surveying his surroundings, a Lycan reminiscent of an old man approached him."Hello and welcome to Elderwood Village, young one. I see that you are new here. I am called Old Wolf." The old man now identified as Old Wolf gave Kirou a polite greeting."Greetings senior. I go by the name Kirou. Is there anything I can help you with today?" Kirou returned the greeting with a polite bow and asked.Old Wolf looked at how Kirou greeted him and couldn't help but smile in satisfaction. Most of the new Lycans he had greeted in the past few days never returned such a polite greeting to him. To them, apparently even interacting with him was a hassle b
After walking for a few minutes, Kirou once again returned to the town center where he originally met Old Wolf. Looking around, Kirou found Old Wolf sitting on a chair, watching the villagers moving about. He then approached and greeted Old Wolf."How was your talk with the instructor, young one?" asked Old Wolf with a smile."It was both pleasant and informative Elder. Thank you for pointing me in his direction. Instructor Bladesmith's words truly opened my eyes to the potential of my class," replied Kirou with a relaxed smile of his own.Hearing Kirou actually mentioning Bladesmith's name caused Old Wolf to raise an eyebrow. "The fact that you know his name and spent so much time getting back here already tells me that you are truly different from the other weapon master rookies who've passed through this village. Very good. Since that is the case, allow me to give you some work."[System Message:

This skill allows the player to take something from a targets' body or inventory. The item taken can be anything on the target excluding quest items and the rarity or amount depends on the skill level, target level in comparison to the skill user, and the amount of time the skill user's hand is on the target's body. Luck also plays a part in deciding the item taken.Kirou had just been going on a hunch but he was glad to see that it paid off. In addition to that, when he opened his palm, he noticed that there was a copper coin resting in the middle of it. He wagered that it must have been the fact that he finally obtained the coin for why the
