After reading the message from BunBunnyBun Mike sighed , is this some sort of apology ?
However he accepted it mentally and added the group post by BunBunnyBun to his favorites and browsed through gaia , what else could he do ?
He didn't changed his clothes , after all why should he care about his appearance ? Thus making him look like a beggar on a street .
However nobody even glanced at him , the buslting mass of people walked by him without even asking why he ended up on the streets .
"Hey boya , new here ?" a hoarse voice sounded towards Mike .
Turning towards the source he could see an old man tattered in rags , lying in a box-home .
"Yeah , i am trying to find a way on how to get stronger ." replied Mike without any sort of arrogance .
A smile formed on the old mans face , taking out a flask he spoke : "People like us are born to live on the streets , do you really believe you can beat firearms as a melee fighter ? I heard the state already produces equipable laser guns ."
"We as melee fighters just have to get into range , besides i already fought against a goblin as soon as i awakened . It was quite easy ." answered Mike .
"Hahahaha , naive !" laughed the old man while drinking something out of his flask , "But there are so many ways how a ranged fighters can get away . Besides their dps is way higher than our and the group fighting ability is quite high too ."
"There are still dungeons , open fields or the front may be impossible however there are still the dungeons in which the melee warriors shine !" replied Mike .
"Already filled with melee fighters who are born from the elites . Youth , you have to know it is impossible to get as strong as a ranged fighter . It is true that a melee is always stronger in an one o one against a ranged . But does the state tell you that the ranged just have to kite the melee and kill them with ease ?" sighed the old man while looking at Mike .
"I know it may be sad for you , but i believe you have some classmates who are ranged fighters . After they are done with the basic course all of them will be level 2 . You can get on this level too , after all the basic course is a whole year . But for what price ? If you want to get stronger then them you have to fight in countless live-die situation and that daily . While they only have to cast some magic and laugh a little bit with girls to get it . Not only that , after the basic course all of them are still in the so called protection status . They will get food , lodging and training for free . Heck they even can go into dungeons earning their own salary by selling loot ." added the old man before drinking out of his flask again .
He started talking to the youths who ended up on the street twenty years ago . At first it was only concidence since a youth started to talk about his life , however as a former youth who dreamed big he knew what awaited the poor youth . A life full of saddness and unrewarding work .
"What level are you ?" asked Mike .
"I'm level 12 , enough for me to buy good wine and good food . Since i have enough from this life i won't buy prolonging life items from the shop ." laughed the old man .
"Why ? It may take 1 thousand years or even 2 thousands years but i believe that you can get strong ." replied Mike in a resolute voice .
"Hahahah , since you are a rush youth i will give you the info you need , go on this gaia site and you will see how to get strong ." smiled the old man while giving the site to Mike .
After the conversation Mike did the Goblin pit thrice to buy himself a meal in a restaurant , at first the glances of pity bothered him . After all on the streets everyone mind his own business but in a restaurants there are waiters asking what he want . However he soon could ignore the gazes .
Staying in the restaurant Mike looked at the site given by the old man . With a surprising look it was a locked site , a site only for special users . Something like a hidden organization in our world .
Melee Fighter assembling : (Normal Infos for all Melee Fighter)
HP Calculating :
You die if you have 0 HP , in other words if you still have Hp you won't die . Somebody is cutting your heads off and you still have HP (rare scenario) , then your Head will automaticall appear on your body again . If your leg is ripped apart it will regenerate as long as you have Hp .
Worst Enemy :
Guns , a single gun used by a non-awakened will deal about 100 dmg if hit on arms etc. , thus ranged gun users will destroy you .
Skills :
You will get skills on the level 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 and 10 without counting the first skill . After that one will get skills on 100 , 200 , 300 , 400 , ... till 1000 , then the next leap will be 10k , 20k ... till 100k and then the next leap .
Skill - otherwise :
Skills are way more important than Levels , do some unique things and you will get a skills . Skills can combine if the requirments are met to produce a symbiotic effect .
Train beginners :
Don't use a weapon , use your bare fist to train your reaction . Fight in the pit every single day , for better reaction and experience to get strong . (There is a high chance to die , please note that a instructor should come with you)
For Familys :
Since your son/daughter is born melee , don't put them in schools , let instructors teach them how to fight .
.........
Looking through the Site Mike shocked , that is high class information . There were even training plans for melee fighters . The only thing he could do was the daily pit training since everything else needed high class training tools , however it was deemed one of the lethals and should only be done with a protector .
Soon the sky darkened and night arrived , moving to his old sleeping place he expected the old man to be there . It wasn't the case though .
Just as he wanted to lie down a man in a suit walked towards Mike with a seemingly supressed arrogant look : "Are you the youth who talked to the old man in a box ?"
"Yeah i am , what do you want ?" answered Mike .
"Here the last message he wanted to pass on , he died since he didn't wanted to buy prolonging life pills from the shop for only 10k points ." said the man in a tone which deemed the old man as dumb and passed a paper to Mike . After passing the paper he walked in a fast pace as if Mike would give cancer to him .
Opening the paper the only thing Mike could read was "Good Luck Youth" .
He didn't believed that the old man he talked in the noon died , after all it was possible to read your remaining time in the system . He didn't believed that one woudn't be afraid of death .
Even after some time Mike believed that the old man was some sort of elite who loved it to find good seedlings . But reality is reality and this sort of concidence only happens in storys . I.o.w. the old man died .
After he went sleeping on his bed , he gave up on joining a group to clear dungeons since the death of the old man depressed him . Thus he tried to follow the only training plan he could do with his resources , the pit training . Mike knew that it is a simple , but very successful training principle . Fight against an enemy till death , don't fight for glory , neither for anything else , just for surviving .
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
After all he has nothing to lose . With no background he can do nothing but end up as a beggar on the street . Even if he is able work to get stronger after time , but how hard should he work compared to range fighter and how long would it take ? Better to pile every hardship in a short time span .
Storing his basic sword in his inventory he prepared to fight against the goblin bare-handed . Since he barely could fight against a wolf in the two wolf pit 1-3 his first goal was to clear every pit(from 1-9) with his bare hands .
Stretching his body he prepared for the fight and entered the pit . Without waiting for the circle to disappear he charged out and directly tried to punch the appearing goblin who seemed surprised .
He could feel the body of the green goblin under his fist , understimating the goblin Mike felt sharp pain as the long nails of the goblin scratches his arms .

Seems like the goblin got summoned without a weapon .
With a mad howl Mike used both of his hands to grab the neck of the stunned goblin and strangled it with all his might .
"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !" cried the goblin in despair .
Such a cry of despair may let the innocent Mike from before hesitate , however he already lived on the street for two days . His clothes were nothing more than smelly rags and he smelled like shit since he couldn't wash himself .
*Thump* the body of the goblin dropped on the ground .
Breathing air Mike looked at the goblin with different eyes . It is quite easy for him to kill a goblin bare handed , however it is mentally draining . How should he do that for every sinlge pit ?
What he didn't know is the fact that the pit training on the high class forum was for rich people , how would they do the training more than once a day ? If somebody of them would kill a monster bare handed every single day it would mark the person a savage .
Repeating the training twice Mike could feel how the pit forged his experience , it was almost like a life-death arena . In his third fight the goblin got spawned with two bone knifes , causing Mike to either charge and feel the pain or wait and endure less pain but still die due to the harassment .
In the end he charged like a madman and was able to smash the goblin on the ground , killing it with a kick on the head .
Sighing he spend his hard earned point in a restaurant , some children pointed at him while some younger students couldn't but complain about his smell . Naturally only in whispers .
Buying two large portions of spaghetti and meatballs as well as a portion salad with chicken strips he ate in comfort .
"Who cares about what others says ? I am spending my hard earned food in a restaurant and should enjoy the scenary !" thought Mike and enjoyed his food slowly .
Suddenly a group of youths appeared about the age of 14 or 15 , in the middle was an arrogant youth holding the hands of an girl whose face looked like a clown with all the make up .
"Waiter , give me some stew and a coke ." laughed the youth while turning towards his group and said : "Today i am paying , buy as much as you want !"
The group seemed delighted as they moved towards a table for 8 people .
Passing the table of Mike the girl with too much make up suddenly talked : "Ugh , a beggar . I bet he is afraid of fighting in the dungeon ."
"Nah , look at those blood staines . They were all made from fighting in his restaurant ! Hahahahah !" commented the arrogant youth while looking at Mike .
Since the spaghetti with meatballs was red and the bloodstains on Mike were dried , it looked like tomato juice . (Today was the day where he fought bare handed ).
Trying to endure the comment Mike ignored them as he slurped the noodles into his mouth .
However the comment caused the group to surround Mike while picking on him .
"Hey hey , aren't you a pussy ? After all these are only monsters , just kill them with an axe or an hammer ." said Person A .
"Hahaha , maybe he don't got the guts to do it ." smiled Person B .
Turning towards the arrogant youth Mike coldly said : "Piss off ."
A silence filled the group .
"Who do you dare to piss off ? Huh ? Don't you believe that ...... " shouted the youth with a red face .
*SMASH* , a punch into his face interrupted his arrogant blabbering .
After this sort of comment Mike couldn't but stand up and punch this shitty youth in his face .
"Hey , who do you dare to ... !" Person A .
Without holding anything back Mike rampaged in this group . Kicking between the legs of one person , pulling the hairs of another person Person while smashing his head on the table .
However the group still moved to fight against him , one punch hit Mike on his face causing his eyes to bleed . Another one used the surrounding cutlery to hurt Mike without any success .
- 10
But how could they try to beat up Mike who has probably more than 8x of their health ?
Punching the girl as well Mike sat down and looked at his now messy meal . All of the noodles were scattered around the table .
Just as he wanted to leave the place , the arrogant youth shouted with anger : "YOU DARE TO HARM ME HUH ? DIE !"
Taking out a gun he aimed and shot .
*BAAM*
Feeling the projectile piercing his shoulder Mike screamed .
Just as the youth wanted to shoot another one , a ball of ice smashed against his arms causing it to bend in a bow like shape .
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHH !" tears streamed out of his bloody face as the arrogant youth turned towards he man who fired the ice ball . "I will tell my father about it , he will punish all of you ... you !"
A dart sticking out of his hands could be seen as the youth stopped talking and dropped down on the ground .
"Why does there have to be so many arrogant youths today ?" sighed a voice .
"That ain't the problem , " said a middle aged man with short brown hairs and a scar covering his face , " the only problem is that everybody is watching and we have to clean up the mess even though they could stop the fight from the beginning ."
Looking at the mess the man sighed before speaking into his headset : "Send an medic towards this location , punish all of these youths with twenty day of social work ."
Walking for a while the man said : "The other one is a victim . Yes , he is tattered in rags and it seems like blood is on his clothes . How about sending him one of those package ? ... Yeah those package . I believe we can send it through gaia . ... Mmh Why ? I don't know why but it seems like one of the upper personage seems to promoting the melee fighters . ... Hahah , you can't compare it to the range fighters . If the advantages of the ranged fighters are like the ocean the package is only a drop of water . Okay over now ."
Walking towards the body of Mike a blue ray of light appeared as the man could see a message plop up :
[Package:
A while later , Mike felt pain as he tried to wake up . Rubbing his head he mumble : "Am i still alive ?"
Looking around he could see the that he wasn't in the restaurant anymore , instead he was on the edge of the street . With a high chance the restaurant threw him out .
Noticing the system notification he opened it :
[Basic Package by the state : ]
[ - Dried Meal 3x ]
[ - Strong Fabric T-shirt 1x ]
[ - Strong Fabric Pants 1x ]
[ - Basic Axe 1x ]
[ Do you want to get it ? ]
With a surprised but happy face he accepted he grumbled : "Why didn't they send me more ?"
[ Basic Package got transported to your inventory ]
Licking his lips which tasted like blood he stopped and opened Gaia in search for this package .
Finding the post by the state he wanted to inquire about his free gift , after all there is a possible to get more stuff for free .

3. Battle Package

4. ....
Grinning over all ears Mike couldn't imagine that the state would help the fighters so much .
But as soon as he read the requirment for being range he felt as if a cold water splashed his whole body .
Why is it so unfair ? Why does the state gives more things to ranged fighters and that for free ?
Suddenly he could see a package for melee fighters , a single package :
Basic Package :
- Dried Meal 3x
- Cloth Armor (chest + pants)
- random Weapon
-> Pay 100 Points after you got this
Rage filled him , WHY IS IT SO UNFAIR ? I EVEN HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS SH*T !
Clenching his hands he moved towards the shop and indeed , his account was -100 points .
Losing all belief in the state he equipped the fabric armor and axe while walking towards the dungeon . He needed to lessen his rage and the best punching bag is a living object named Goblin .
*SPLASH* , hacking the goblin cause blood splurting out of the wound . Howling a cry of pain the goblin tried to do something , however Mike simply smacked on the goblin with his axe causing its head to turn into meat pulp .
After collecting the corpse he walked out of the dungeon while looking how the point counter on the shop reached 0 from -1 .
Three days passed since he bought that shit of a package , he only could afford three meals since he couldn't buy anything more . His fabric armor was nothing more than rags now , even the axe resembled more an hammer than an axe .
Looking at his character screen he sighed , he didn't even level up !
[ Mike Lv 1 ]
HP 425/425
STR: 16 AGI: 10 VIT: 19 Body : 15
Strong Body : +400 HP
The only thing that changed was that endurance disappeared from his Numbers , his skill changed to strong body with double the amount of health . However he still couldn't use Mana .
After finally paying off the money he owed Mike prepared to test his skills at a 1-2 pit .
Holding the axe with his right hand and the basic sword with his left hand he selected Orc Pit 1-2 .
What awaited him was a pig man at the size of 1,6 meters .
Smashing with his axe Mike tried to hit the head , Successfull . The Head splurted into brain mash and bone mash .
Grinning Mike collected the Corpse without any hesitation .
Thus he slaughtered the Orcs in the Orc pit 1-2 for the whole day .
