"At last! An offensive skill! Although it's only bronze-rated, Other players will drool when they learn about this skill."

After playing for two hours in the game, he had learned one bronze-rated skill and it was not an offensive type of skill. He could only wish that Antonio would give him an offensive skill as a reward.

In the early parts of the game, Pedro knew that it would not be ideal to take hunt quests. That was true, however, once players reach level 5 the first dungeons would be unlocked.

The rewards were too valuable to ignore. Skill books and rare materials are often dropped by the dungeon boss. Plus, there was a chance that a treasure chest could be found inside the dungeon.

Adding to these, the dungeons can only be cleared once. Players can camp long enough but the dungeon itself won't reset. Hence, the players fought when an unexplored/uncleared dungeon was found.

This incident caused the so-called 'The First Adventurer Tragedy' in his past life.

This is where small wars between guilds would often occur to secure the dungeons. Consequently, this resulted in players starting over again, and delaying the clearance of the level 5 dungeons.

Guilds would fight each other until one guild was fully wiped out. However, the winning guilds would also have heavy casualties. This made the winning guild to have few remaining players which were not sufficient enough for them to clear the dungeon.

The cycle would repeat itself over and over. Millions of players around the world died. This is the reason why it was called 'The First Adventurer Tragedy'.

Closed Beta Players, on the other hand, wasn't even able to reach level five. The challenges they faced were more on 'survival' challenges.

This is the reason why the closed beta players weren't able to reach the dungeon part of Bearth.

Being focused on surviving, the closed beta players didn't dare to attack any monsters. Those who tried had immediately regretted their decision.

One of the most popular posts in the forum was by a level four player.

After days of playing in the closed beta version, He was able to grind his way to level four. At that time he thought that the gap between a level one monster and his level was huge enough for him to kill it. Unfortunately, that player died in the hands of the level one player.

The other closed beta players mocked that player. Soon, they also reached level four and tried killing the level one monsters. As fast as a bullet train, Karma hit them back and died.

Of course, It may seem impossible. But, there were a handful of players who were able to kill the monsters. However, the limit that those players can kill was level two monsters. No one was able to survive and tell the tale about killing level three monsters.

It was a different story on the official launch of the game. The number of players was so huge to the point that they used the 'quantity over quality' concept. A twenty-person party can be made to deal with a level 1 monster.

"This skill is indeed a blessing. However, if I leveled up because of hunting monsters. My HP would increase at the same time!"

Pedro realized that with the skill he can start monster hunting and taking on hunt quests. However, other than the loots, players also gain experience points that will allow them to level up.

When Pedro rises to level 2, his starting HP of 50 would increase. Thus, His "undying cycle" would be broken. The intermediate potion wouldn't be enough to be able to fully heal his life and make the ~Undying~ skill to reset.

"Intermediate Potion is really a good item for beginners. However, to me. It's like one of my important skills. This won't do. I need to find a substitute for the Intermediate Potion. I might level up sooner or later so..." He shooked his head as various thoughts and ideas enter his head.

"I should head quickly to the kingdoms before I reach level 2! There are potions that are better than the Intermediate potion.

"Also, I could learn alchemy from their academy and create my own potions!" Pedro smiled as he thought about the recommendation letter that was waiting for him on Kagat Village.

"I know that I would gain allot in Kagat Village. However, without the 'undying cycle', It would be harder for me to travel to the nearest Kingdom!"

"Curse it. If I want to become the best player, Based on my "past life" experiences, going to the Kingdom is the most advantageous choice for me!" At this moment, Pedro gained sight of the Troll Camp.

He tapped the ~Bleed~ skill and learned it before he went and "inspect" every tent in the troll camp.

After some time...

"Curse those trolls! Their tents were only sleeping tents. Other than a wooden bed, you won't find anything. Let's just hope this tent would give us something... at least!" He prayed as he enters the largest tent.

He assumed that was the troll commander's tent. The other tents in the camp were empty and he had not got even a single coin.

The large tent was different from the other tent. Not only because it was larger, but also because aside from a bed, there was a wooden table where a few sheets of paper can be found.

"This might be it!" Thinking that the sheet of paper in the troll commander's wooden table would be some sort of treasure map, Pedro got excited and ran towards it.

"A Map. Yes!" Pedro shouted with glee upon seeing the sheet of paper was really a map.

"..."

His grin was suddenly replaced with a frown when he realized that the map was not some sort of treasure map but is just a normal map. He took the map and placed it in his inventory.

The same thing happened to the other unfamiliar maps. There was no sign of a "treasure" so he just kept it on his inventory.

"Those two treasure boxes earlier must be all the treasures they have." Pedro realized as he remembered how enraged the troll commander was when Pedro was unlocking the treasure chests.

"It was no wonder that the loots I got were not ordina~" Just as Pedro was about to leave, He accidentally stumbled on to something. It was sticking out of the wooden bed of the troll commander.

A black cloth was slightly displaced and Pedro caught a glimpse of the golden light.

Something was wrapped in black cloth. He pulled out the item and unwrapped the black cloth.

"It's~It's a~an Evolve Weapon!" Pedro's mouth went agape when he saw the golden sword with a green stripes design on it.
