Sky rushes into an old neighborhood, leaving the angry guard behind. Change in architecture can be seen with naked eyes. From new luxury building, structure changes into makeshift slums. Under the streetlight a man takes attention of Sky. Front of this tatty dressed man there is a handkerchief with few coins on. He decides that he can gain information from this man and approaches near old man.
“Hello old man”
“Hi sir, Could you please help this hungry man, I couldn’t eat anything for 5 days”
Sky leaves 2 gold on the handkerchief thinking this is a good bargain against learning few things.
“I have a few question can you reply”
“I have 5 kids and a wife to feed, can you help me a bit more sir”, beggar says and Sky puts 2 more coins on the handkerchief.
“Can you reply my question now? Why guards calling me commoner, what’s wrong with it”
“Because you are commoner as I am”
Sky feels like punching this man on the face, but thinks still can learn more so continues.
“What can change my rank?”
“Fame, once you are Over 2000 fame, your rank will become Gentleman”
Sky smiles and thinks “after all this man enlightened me, what I need is fame to improve my rank. Let’s query a bit more” and keeps asking the beggar.
“At upper neighborhood guard told me I need to be a Knight or up, how much fame required to be a Knight”
“I do not know exact requirement but what I know is every rank is 10 times harder than the other and after Gentleman there is Esquire than Knight” beggar replies.
Sky thinks “so if Gentleman requires 2000 fame, Esquire is 20000 and Knight is 200000? That is ridiculous. There is too much gap; I need to learn how to earn fame” and asks the beggar
“How can I increase my fame”
“By killing monsters and highly famed players, completing quests, reaching a certain degree in arts, having lots of money and many more which I don’t know about” and beggar looks Sky’s face as if saying go already or maybe this is how he interpreted.
“Thanks old man” and he turn his back and walks away from this poor neighborhood to the southeast gate.
At right side just before the gate he finds another billboard, which quests are hanged. He chooses one for his level.

“Interesting zombies are generally slow in games, should be good target to improve my swordsmanship skills and earn some experience.”, he talks to himself and walks out of the gate saluting one of the guards for fun but guards doesn’t bother to reply.
Just outside the city gate he finds an old cute enemy, Boings.
Boing Lv2
“Nice last time I couldn’t be able to kill you guys with my sword but this time I am going to make you pay” he shouts to one of the Boings which is jumping around on the grassy field. Boing looks him out of curiosity with puppy eyes. He takes his novice sword and runs near the Boing.
“Ahhhh !!!” shouts while running out of excitement and takes his posture and hits on Boing with all his might.
Miss!
Boing jumps back and avoids the sword attack.
“These monsters are too small to hit, I can’t take my posture and hit properly but I won’t give up”, he talks to himself and hits on the Boing again with his sword, but it misses again and again, 4 times in a raw. Boing jumps forward and bites his leg
6 Damage recieved
“Ahh! Damn thing, go hell!” he shouts and throws the sword to his side and handles the situation in old way by punching. Boing dies in few hits, he tries on another Boing but same thing happens, so he decides to proceed to Zombies. He follows the stone marbled road and finds the graveyard.
From graveyard it is possible to hear “OoOohhh” sounds which he thinks that they are either ghost or zombies or some kind of monsters. Graveyard is surrounded by iron fences which are 2 meters high and inside there are 5 big tombs can be seen from the outside. He pushes the iron door of graveyard and walks inside
Zombie Lv2

Zombie can be seen 20 meters ahead that seems to be alone. it slowly walks around randomly which makes him think that they have low intelligence. This time before rushing into battle he checks movements of the Zombie first, which makes him get bored after 5 minutes. Because Zombie does nothing other than walking around aimlessly and yelling “OhoOohooo” from time to time.
Sky takes his Chudan posture and step by step closes near Zombie. Once Zombie is near 2 meters with sudden movement he steps forward and hits Zombie’s head.

Critical Hit!
9 Damage
“This Zombie is really hard headed” he talks to himself and hits again.
Critical Hit!
11 Damage
One online doesn’t allow one to know maximum health of opponent, just shows percentage of health of opponent which seems to be %75 left after 2 strikes. He quickly calculates that “this Zombie should have 80 maximum hp with 60 left so 6 more hits can kill this guy”, while thinking zombie waves his arm and hits heavily to the shoulder of Sky.
20 Damage recieved
“What? I had 20 maximum hp earlier will I die like this?” panicking for a second he checks his health bar and sees %50 hp left.
“So my hp is increased somehow? I need to check my status after handling this guy, but it hits so heavy” thinking instructions of Master Huxen, “if I can hit taking a step forward, I can take a step backward to avoid” he talks to himself.
While next attack coming from the Zombie he takes a step backward with his right foot followed by left.
Miss!
He steps forward and hits the head of Zombie and quickly takes a step backward to avoid the attack from the zombie. As zombie is slow he can attack 2 times before Zombie moves its hands. After 6 consecutive successful blows, Zombie dies.
Swordsmanship increased by %1
Tactics increased by %5
Dexterity increased by 1
“Nice, I learned how to handle Zombies without taking any blow and Dexterity increased also swordsmanship but what is Tactics”
He opens the Books of Arts, which seems to be new proficiency Tactics, clicks on the tactics.
Tactics:RankNoneProgress%5Effect:Increases physical damage by x/5 times
After reading the description, Sky smiles stupidly within deep thoughts.
“So when Tactics is %5 my physical damage will increase by %1. If my Tactics become %100, my physical damage will increase like %20 percent. This is really good one” with joy on his face, he rushes to another Zombie and kills it with 8 successful blows without taking any damage. Without stopping he runs from one Zombie to another, not even noticing system information’s.
After killing Zombies for a while he realizes that he can kill now with 6 blows instead of 8. Something should be changed, than he notices that he couldn’t check his status for a while.
