Cao Huang with Vilariun in tow went out of the Morning Dew Town from the western gate. The west side of the town was crowded with players hunting for monsters. This place was usually crowded with Level 3 gnomes but Cao Huang encountered an entirely different scene. There were more players than monsters in the area. It looked like the monsters were the victims here and players were the real monsters. Even he started to feel a little bit of sympathy for the monsters in his heart.

As soon as a monster spawned it was immediately attacked by several dozens of players.

"How should I get them to kill me. Should I try kill stealing their targets? That should enrage them enough to kill me right?" asked Cao Huang.

"Fool! Why bother going through all this trouble when you can just directly attack them." berated Vilariun.

"..."

"Here goes nothing. Aaaaa." Cao Huang yelled unsheathing his sword and rushing towards the horde of players hunting a gnome.

"Hey! Grizzly, keep aggroing the gnome like this and we will kill it within next three minutes." said one of the party members to the burly guy known as Grizzly.

"This is just too easy. I can do this all day without getting tired. It's just that the monsters here are extremely less compared to the players." said another.

"Yeah. If we can kill two or three more, we can get enough to spend for a day or two." said the female berserker while sighing.

"Grizzly watch out! Someone is rushing here to steal monster." Yelled one of his teammate.

Kill stealing was a usual occurrence in the fields while hunting for mobs. A player would come and deliver the last hit on the monster snatching over 30% of the experience. They will also steal the materials and equipments dropped from the monster's corpse. These type of players were hated to the bones by the player community.

"I shall see which bas*ard has the guts to steal from this dadd ... Arrrgghh." screamed Grizzly as he was stabbed in the back by Cao Huang.

A -23 damage appeared on top of Grizzly's head. All the surrounding players were surprised to see someone trying to PK a player in front of eleven other players of the same party.

"A player has taken an initiative to attack you. You can respond to his provocation within next 30 minutes." announced the system.

"Which.... ." Again Grizzly's sentence was cut short by the dazzling damage that appeared on top of his head.

Stab!

- 31

Stab was used dealing 8 additional points of damage to Grizzly.

Grizzly's Health bar which originally consisted of 120 Health Points was reduced to half. All of this happened in a matter of seconds so the others were completely caught off-guard.

"What are you trying to do just by standing here. Attack him!" Ordered the female berserker.

Cao Huang was attacked simultaneously by all the remaining party members.

Numerous damages consecutively appeared on Cao Huang's head. Soon his HP was reduced to zero under the attack of this many players. With a thud! he fell on to the ground. His corpse disappearing a little bit after with a glimmering light.

"Whew! This was one hell of a crazy bas*ard." Said Grizzly while wiping away the sweat that covered his forehead.

"What kind of enmity did you have with that guy, for him to attack you in front of so many players?" asked one of the party members.

"I don't even know that guy. The only thing I know is that the next time I see him I will shred him to pieces." Said Grizzly with steam coming out of his nose.

"Hey Undying Moth. You landed the last hit on him so tell me what was his name. I couldn't quite catch his name in all this hustle." asked the female berserker.

"It said that his name was Drifting Leaf." answered her party member whose name was Undying Moth."

"Drifting Leaf? Drifting Leaf! Guys I suggest you to stay away from him." said one of the players suddenly.

"Why? What can someone who is Level 0 do to us. We aren't afraid of him." said Grizzly.

"You might not know him but he is quite a celebrity inside the Morning Dew Town." said the player.

"What! Is he that good?" exclaimed the the female berserker in wonder.

"Being good has nothing to this. In fact he is known psychopath inside the town. He usually talks to himself, gets angry and excited at the same time and he even has a wish to die ten times consecutively. So I suggest you to stay away from him."

Hearing this Grizzly shuddered. "My mother used to say to me as a kid, stay away from psychopaths and those who don't value their lives, as these people are the hardest to deal with. It's good that I didn't immediately took action against him or who knows what might have done to me." He felt someone has poured cold water over him.

"Yeah, let's all stay away from him." Everyone immediately agreed.

"You have died."

Cao Huang was informed by the system as his vision blackened. Oblivious to all that was happening, he was going through an ordeal of his own.

"Ahhh! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts like hell! I am dying! I really am dying! Why does it hurts so much?!." Cao Huang was writhing in pain. He felt like someone has really killed him for real.

"That is because I have increased the Users sensitivity to 100%. Everything user experiences in the game shall be fully conveyed to his real body."

"Why did you do that! It was so painful. It felt like I was dying for real." For the first time Cao Huang conveyed his angry thoughts to his mind.

"I want user to get used to everything he experiences in the game. This can a training ground for the user. All that he learns here shall help you to adapt to the similar circumstances in the real life. The fear of pain shall help you to train yourself quickly, at the same time it will teach you to value your life. It will make you stronger, faster and more intelligent as compared to other people in the real life. In fact the pain you are feeling here is already amplified over several times by me."

"Why did you do this? WHY!" Yelled Cao Huang over and over again.

"Didn't you want to prove yourself?, Take revenge for your family? Become the richest man alive? Becoming the best there is? If you can't even bear this pain than you aren't qualified to walk over billions of people who share the same dream. I don't think a pitiful person like you is qualified for that kind of path. So I advice you to give up, stop dreaming and lay comfortably in your house waiting for the day when everything you love is taken away from you including your dreams."

Cao Huang was startled. He almost forgot the pain he had just suffered from a second ago. Scenes of his mother's cooking, his sister's smile and his father's hugs, all replayed in his mind. The day his mother heard of his father's arrest, her collapsed body on the hospital's bed, her sister's smiling face littered with tears, his father's hagard figure behind prison bars. All of those scenes engraved in his heart started to replay one after another.

"I can do it." Whispered Cao Huang, his head hanging low.

"No you can't. You whine even at the slightest of pain. It is impossible for you." Vilariun said mockingly.

"I CAN DO IT!" Screamed Cao Huang.

"I WILL DO IT! I can't step down now and continue being the person I am. I don't want to see such scenes ever again. I don't want to be useless. That's why I will do it." Cao Huang continued.

"I WILL DO IT!!!!!! For the pain in my body is drop compared to the one in my heart." He roared loudly for the last time.

"Good. Then from this day forth, the previous Cao Huang is dead." Vilariun said smiling.

For this day marks the birth of an ABSOLUTE SUPREME!
