Yuri was ready with his new equipment's, the black leggings that looked like a tightly wrapped leather covered his legs, while the red lined footguards covered most of his feet and some of his heels, and lastly the mask covered half of his face, with its deep brown color, decorated with a scar line on the left cheeks side.

If someone would see his equipment's, they will kill him right away and robbed him clean, even level forty players would still be envious looking at his equipment's, normally, players at his level would still be equipped with the regular leather armor with a common ranked quality.

They would be thankful, with just having a full set of common ranked quality equipment's, and as they leveled up, one or two uncommon items would accompany them towards level twenty. Uncommon items were still quite rare in that level, but not too rare as they progressed further, this situation will continue until they've reached level fifty-five. As they reached that level, they will see one or two rare ranked items inside their equipment's tabs, but only if they were lucky enough.

Yuri felt uneasy wearing the leather mask, he felt a little bit suffocate by it, his finger scrolled through the system's configuration. He remembered when he played WoW, there is an option called hide helmets, but in this game configurations options, he didn't see the options he's looking for. Maybe voice commands would work?

"Mask off."— Nothing happened.

"Headpiece off." The system responded and taken off his headgear. Yuri checked his stats and found out that the commands also removed the gear from his equipment's tabs. He sighed, and decided to wear it only when he's out grinding.

"We're here. Form a party and invite us."

So-Hee sweet voice reverberated through his ears. Form a party? How? Voice commands maybe?

"Form Party."

- Party Formed -

In the corner of his left eyes just below his health and mana bar, a text can be found that said the number of people in his party, which for now only said one.

"How do I invite you guys?" Yuri asked So-Hee, that still connected to him.

"It's the same as you formed up a party, just say 'Invite' then say our name." So-Hee explained.

"Got it, and what's Felix in-game name?" Yuri remembered that he didn't even ask Felix in-game name yet.

"ElSensual…" So-Hee answered reluctantly.

"You're joking, right?"

"No…"

"*Sigh*…He's a little weird…So don't mind it too much."

Yuri can't imagine how embarrassed So-Hee must be, walking outside of the town with someone with the name ElSensual, which means the sexy one in Spanish.

If he was there instead of her, maybe that's not a big deal, but, So-Hee was a woman, and how humiliating that must be. Yuri sighed, people must think that she's weird too, I felt sorry for her.

- Kiya joined your party -

Seconds after Yuri saw the front door hallways lit up, revealing a man and a woman that walked side by side.

The woman was equipped with a brown leather armor that covered her long red dress. A square leather shield the size of her torso was strapped on her back. She was no different from her real self, a beautiful young woman with a flowing brown hair complimenting her brown eyes.

The man wore a white robe with a flowing scarf on his neck. His hair was blonde in color, it was short and parted to the side, covering half of his face. The blue jeweled eyes he had glinted with expectations.

Crackle

The skeletons that were patrolling the first hall, saw the silhouette of the two and charged towards them. Yuri saw all of it happening and rushed himself towards the same direction.

"GET READY!! THEY'RE COMING"

The voice traveled far and reached their ears. So-Hee, already experienced in the game armed his shield and put it in front of her, while Felix, startled by the sudden yell, panicked and hide behind So-Hee, it was understandable because he just played it today, and already surrounded by packs of skeletons.

Yuri agility finally showed its charm, he ran past the group of skeletons and arrived beside the shielded So-Hee.

The skeletons crackled their teeth, as if it was a signal to begin their assault.

Bang

The first hit had been delivered, it was from the skeletons that arrived in front of So-Hee. She raised her shield and blocked it, not finished with it yet, she skilfully deflected it towards the ground which makes the skeletons fall head first towards the floor.

Yuri saw the opportunity and delivered a deadly blow towards the back of the skeletons head. The skeletons head cracked and dropped several items on its dead body, which were mostly a trash loot.

When in a party the automatic loot system was disabled. This was to prevent unfair loot allocations between the party, which is one of the major reasons that a fight between the party members. To be honest, the company could make a system which makes a fair loot distribution, but, they lacked the ambitions after making the AI systems, the so-called masterpiece of this game. In the end, they just slapped this old-school systems and hoped that the players would sort them out themselves.

Felix watched the heated fight from a distance, he was shaken to the bone, cold sweats rolled towards his back. Wh…What is this…This looks so real…He thought in his minds.

"FELIX!! DON'T JUST STAND THERE!! IT'S JUST A GAME!!" Yuri berated at the idling Felix.

He was startled by the shout. Yeah, It's just a game! No need to be afraid. Felix slapped his cheeks and took a deep breath.

"HEAL!!" Felix shouted out his determination.

So-Hee that been struggling by the skeletons onslaught, had her health bar going upwards, while Yuri, on the other hand, smiled after hearing Felix resolute shout.

----

The trio fought for three hours just to clean up the first hall from the skeletons. They looked exhausted and their breathing was ragged, but in their face didn't look disappointed, instead, they were full of smiles.

Yuri dropped to his knees, trying to catch his breath. He had been in this dungeon for six hours in total, it was exhausting but the level he got were quite decent. He can feel his body becoming stronger, although it's just a numerical value, he still felt that this was his own power.

The group rested close to each other, they adjusted their breathing while recovering some of their stamina and mana. Yuri was curious, why Felix already got his class, while he still hasn't got a clue how to get one. He wasn't that curious with So-Hee though, that was because she's already played longer than he did, and probably got more information how to get one.

Didn't want to let the curiosity rot in his mind, Yuri asked towards Felix, "Felix, how do you get your class?"

Felix was still daydreaming, probably thinking about the fight that he just experienced. He was startled and looked towards Yuri with a blank face, "Huh?"

"How do you get your class?" Yuri asked again.

"Oh! I choose it in the avatar creations, why?"

"No, nothing…"

He was shocked by the answers, so that's why the low leveled players in the town have their own class already, and I didn't go through the same process, as they did. His avatar was created by his sister and by the time he played Emperor's Destiny, he was left with an already established avatar.

So-Hee, on the other hand, heard the conversations between the two, she perked her ears and listened closely. Why did Yuri ask such questions, she asked in her minds.

"You didn't have a class, Yuri?" So-Hee asked.

Yuri lost in his thought were startled by the questions, "Y-Yeah…Can I still get a class even though I didn't pick one in the avatar creations process?" He asked, hoping that he didn't get screwed by her own sister.

"You can actually, just go to the adventurer's guild and asked for a class change." So-Hee answered.

"Really—" Yuri's eyes sparkled.

Not letting Yuri finish his sentence, So-Hee interjected with another information, "But. There's another way to get a class. First, let me tell you about the class differentiation. The class were divided into two, the first is the general class, such as warriors, mages, healers, and so on. This can be obtained at the adventurer's guild, and the avatar creations. The second, is a unique class, you can get this from a certain quest or a certain affinity with the NPC class holder."

Yuri listened closely to the precious information, he crammed it into his minds afraid to forget it the next day. But, after listening to the explanations, his minds became puzzled, isn't that mean the general class is s*it compared to the unique class? Not letting the thought dwell inside his mind for too long he asked So-Hee right away.

So-Hee answered as soon as Yuri asked that question, as if it was already prepared inside her minds.

"Not really, every class had its own strength and weakness, it's just a matter of preferences anyway, and don't forget that the class can also evolve into a higher class with their unique traits, so there's no bad class only bad players. As for the unique class, it's only advantage is more stats bonuses, or the rare one came with its own unique traits."

Enlightened from the influx of information, he asked again, "So, what's your class Ms. So-Hee?"

"I'm a shield maiden, and just call me So-Hee." So-hee pouted her lips.

Felix was back to reality, and also listened closely at So-Hee explanations. But, after hearing the last sentence, he grinned. Yuri, on the contrary, was lost in his thought, and ignored So-Hee last sentence. He looked towards the grinning Felix and asked, "You're a priest right, Felix?"

"Yep." Felix answered.

"I need to get my class as soon as possible then…" Yuri muttered to himself.

The group stayed for another five minutes before venturing deeper inside the dungeon. Yuri was the first one to get up from his seat, followed by the rest after. Just about to take his first step, he remembered that he got an excess equipment's in his mailbox. He halted the party and told them to wait.

'Lillie you're fine with this, right? Well, Lillie, think of it like an investment for your kingdom…' Yuri reassured himself.

His finger swiped quickly, navigating through the convoluted mailbox. Felix and So-Hee were puzzled by Yuri actions, and decided to wait, curious with the outcome.

"Right. What's your level Ms. So-Hee?"

"Can you just call me So-Hee! And I'm level 10. Hmph." So-Hee pouted her pink lips once more.

Felix watched So-Hee reaction from the side and can't hold his laughter, but knowing that it will incite a calamity upon himself, he covered his mouth with his hand, 'That girl is desperate. Hahaha.'

Yuri once again ignored the poor girl plea, and only hear what he wanted to hear, "Right, and you Felix?" He asked.

Tears flowed in Felix's eyes, he took a deep breath to calm himself and finally answered, "Three."

Yuri brings out seven pieces of equipment's from his inventory. He gave out the plated type equipment's for So-Hee, because she is the tank of the party. He gave her a shield, a breastplate, leg guards, and a gauntlet. As for Felix, he gave him a staff, a robe, and boots.

So-Hee was flabbergasted by the presents she got, not only it was a rare ranked item, but it also came with a physical resistance option too, although negligible, it was an option that she never had seen. On the contrary, Felix, didn't get startled or even shocked by the items he got, and equipped it almost instantly.

"I-I can't accept this…This…This is too precious…"

So-Hee felt uncomfortable accepting the sudden gift.

"Just take it. I've got tons of it." Yuri assured.

"Yeah, just take it. He's never given out things, that didn't have a backup." Felix chimed in.

"Uh…Thank you…" So-Hee felt his cheeks reddened and hung her head low.

"Yeah." Yuri smiled.

Yuri saw the silver breastplate fitted perfectly with the red dress that So-Hee wore, completed with her flowing brown hair that made the sight looks quite stunning. While on the side, Felix was admiring himself, equipped with his new robe that was green in color, decorated with gold linings that made him looked like a noble.

'I'll admit, she is quite beautiful.' Yuri admired looking at So-Hee.

He let out a sigh and took a deep breath after, he looked at the two once more to affirm that they were ready to set out.

"Ready?" He asked once more, to confirm his thought. The two nodded and Yuri ordered, "Let's go then."
