I looked to my back just to see a lot of people following me, one shouted "We are the Gaming Martial! Who ever help us kill Voidne will be highly rewarded!"
Another guy shouted "We are the Alliance of Assassins, who ever help us kill Voidne will be rewarded generously!"
As they dashed at me, I started running! I could see their Mages and Alchemist trying to cast their crowd control skills on me. Barbarians used their basic skill Charge! to hit me.
As the Barbarians approached me, I double jumped dodging all their skills since they were stupid enough to target my location all at the same time, but on of the Mages did actually hit me with his spell. The spell was called Magic Bind, it causes the target to be stuck in the same place for 0.5 seconds, but thankfully enough...
-Ding, Lucky Miss activated! Your enemy have missed their target!-
I continued running! Assassins kept following me and entered stealth.
The chase continued until we arrived at the edge of a cliff. I was surrounded and had 2 options!
one is to jump, while the other is to stand my ground and kill them all.
I stood my ground, equipped my Waterfall Discipline and rushed at the closest person toward me. Just as I rushed, 17 Barbarians activated their Charge skill. But with me double jumping again, they all missed, and not just missed, they fell from the cliff.
But how could this be the end of my luck? As they fell from the an Archer hit me with his arrow making -4 appear in top of my head.
I heard a new notification that I heard for the first time...
-You have been hit by Soaring Wind. You can now retaliate against 312 players without being marked as a player killer-
I jumped into the shieldman that was in front of me, and slashed at him with my claws. My attack was higher than what I expected... I think that maybe DEX and AGI works great together!
37
42
78!
(24)
He lost half of his health in just one second. He quickly tried to activate his shield bash to stun me, but in just another second he died.
-You have killed a player while retaliating! You have gained 1 fame! You have gained 18EXP!- (Player exp drop formula (X*3)^1.6)
I heard 17 more notifications about me killing other people... I don't remember even who were they (probably the poor Barbarians that fell from the cliff!).
As I was thinking of that, the Assassins who were in stealth appeared next to me preparing to backstab me, but thankfully I was saved by a Mage who casted Magic Bind just to miss me and hit the poor assassin closest to me.
What is even luckier is that the archer who are supposed to target me, actually injured most of the assassins with their arrows!
With all of the assassins in an awkward position, I swooped all of them with my claws. The swordsmen tried to stop me but failed to since they somehow attacked the assassins instead of attacking me!
The group of 'pro gamers' looked like noobs, and I just played like an average person... Before knowing I had already killed all of the assassins.
But my luck didn't reach the peak yet, it did reach the peak the moment 4 Angry Bulls spawned on the cliff and started slaughtering their priests and clerics! All the backline were killed by the Angry Bulls! Those who tried to run were chased by the Angry Bulls, which counted as a good distraction for me to run away. I got away luckily and checked my Chain Quest progress!

So it means that I killed 279 players!
I wondered if I truly killed as many players or if it was the Angry Bulls kills that counted as mine?
This is 100% a bug, there is no way they all attacked each other and no one attacked me right?
I sighed and continued walked away from the village to avoid problems, and went to check my loots from the dungeon! As for the player's equipment I took them and dispose them so when they come back to get their items they won't find any!
I found out that I got a set of level 5 items! It looked great... It was called Stealth Dawg Set... I even found a Rare Necklace!

I got excited... If I use this skill, I might be the first person to get his stats to 30! With that I can get more achievements! I was about to start counting my stats one by one, but then remembered that all my equipment gave me AGI and DEX and a little bit of CRT, so it won't be of use...
I also got a lot of money from the dungeon! Now all I need to do it to go in an adventure... I think I will walk to random places, maybe my luck will guide me to the right area!
I walked through the empty map... I thought I'd meet a monster by now, but I met nothing... Until somehow I saw a broken house in the middle of no where... It was weird, but I went to check it out.
As I opened the house to find a goblin going inside a big robot... I thought it was weird but I didn't attack instead said "Hello, sorry for entering without knocking the door... I was just lost and wasn't able to find my way to the village!"
The Robot looked at me and happily said "A customer! After all the time a customer came! I mean of course a customer came! Welcome to Goblin Lord's shop, here we sell you the best items related to technology! Would esteemed Demon Hunter want to check on our stocks?"
I nodded "What do you have? do you have a menu or anything?"
He looked at me and hummed then said "If you were searching for an item around your current level, you won't find much! But I know Demon Hunters like to hunt Demons that are stronger than them, so I advise you to buy traps! I have a lot of traps that are effective to kill your target!"
I thought a little then said "I have a question before buying things from you Goblin Lord... Why did you open a shop here and not in a village or a town?"
The robot lowered its head and said "I wanted to be good with humans, but humans hunter Goblin Lord and killed all his workers just to steal his inventions! Goblin Lord hate humans from village!"
I was shocked by him, but then tried to show empathy to him saying "Unforgivable! How could they kill for their own greed! Goblin Lord, I want some of your items that are good to kill a large group of people that are at the same level as me! Do you have any?"
Lord Goblin started looking around the broken house then said "I have Small Electric Bombs... Within a Radius of 10 meters, it will deal 500 magic damage to every enemy within the range!"
I asked "Really? How much for one?"
Lord Goblin hit the cabinet and said "2 silver coins ea-" Just before he continued, a log dropped down with (Small Electric Bombs - 50 copper coins) written on it!
He tried to hide it but I quickly said "Here is 10 silver coins! give me 20 of those!"
Lord Goblin who heard me just now sighed... Then said "It is actually 9 silver coins... Since you are my first customer I will give you a 10% discount, and take the extra 1 silver coin as a charity!"
I wondered what was the difference... But didn't care anymore because those bombs are actually super powerful! I can maybe finish my chain quest using them!
I took the bombs and asked Lord Goblin "What will you give me if I get you your revenge?"
Lord Goblin said in serious tone "I will be your subordinate! I will always create items for you and you only!"
I smiled "Prepare your bags! Soon the village will be no more!"
-You accepted the Quest: Lord Goblin's regret-
Lord Goblin's regret:-
Destroy Ironsteel Village
0/1
...
It was not the same Village that I came from! Mine was unnamed Village...
I activated the quest on the map and started walking toward Ironsteel Village to see what I could do!
While walking toward the Village I opened up the forums. The top post had a video on it showing how the Alliance of Assassins and the Gaming Martial were blaming each other for me slipping away. Some of them even tried to taunt me to go back and fight with them.
I added a reply in the end of the post saying "If any of you want to have a fight! Meet me tomorrow! Tomorrow I will give you all a location and a time, those who are late won't be able to see me, but those who come on time, I will fight you all to death!"
I closed the forum knowing that my reply will stir an outrage, but I don't care right now! Now it was time to find a way to take out Ironsteel Village!
