After entering the training hall he looked at the scarecrows at close view then looked at the different wooden weapons placed near the scarecrows from out of the weapons he took out a katana type wooden weapon holding it in his hand he tries a few swings feeling it’s comfortable he started hitting the scarecrow after an hour he felt bored, remembering that among the books he read while in the library were about swordsmanship, archery, and magic. He tried out some techniques and stances from the book after 2 more hours he gained Sword Mastery and his form got better after using the stances and techniques recorded in the books he read he started understanding some of its uses and is now able to incorporate it in his sword fighting making hitting the scarecrows not too boring now after some hours a few windows appeared stating increase in stat(s) he just ignored it for now read it later when his satisfaction is low he goes out to eat sometimes he buy things and cook himself repeating this pattern 2 weeks went by he spent 18 silver and 55 copper for meals and a message appeared that he can now leave the village.
Seeing that he can now leave the village he read the messages he gained the past 2 weeks.

His cooking proficiency increased by 13% and his Sword Mastery reached Beginner lvl 3(26%) in 2 weeks since the books he read helped increased his understanding of the sword he gained quite some stats as well after reading the messages that piled up he says in small voice “Status Window” then a window showing his stats appeared in front of him. ‘so saying it in a small voice can make it appear as well no need to say it in a loud voice audible to others’

He hasn’t distributed his stat points since he is not yet sure what stats are good for the class he is taking.
Now that he can wander outside the village he first went to Cid to buy a sword since he liked the shape of the sword that looks like a katana he asked Cid if he has any cheap sword that looks like a katana. Cid thinking for a moment went inside and searched but he went back empty handed after a few minutes “sorry don’t have one but I can make you one for 50 silver but since I know you and we have a bit of history I will make one for you for 20 silver” after hearing it Chrono immediately gave Cid the 20 silver, receiving it Cid says “come back in an hour” Chrono then went out of the smithy and entered the marketplace looking around he saw some suspicious shop selling equipments that are not yet identified he went towards it asking about the items for sale the merchant was telling him stories about each items and when he asked for the prices he was shocked to hear it’s all in gold from 10 gold -4000 gold a piece hearing it he said identify to each item softly making sure the merchant didn’t hear him he was more shocked the items were quite low quality that Cid’s weapons sold at 1 gold is stronger than this merchant’s weapons sold at 500-4000 gold a piece by 10 folds as he finished identifying each items his identify leveled up once reaching beginner lvl 4(74%). The merchant had quite a stock of unidentified items there were a few good items but was currently out of his budget at the moment he especially wanted the ring that increases the wearer’s mana regeneration by 25% and maximum mana by 10% but the cost was 2500 gold. He was sure the merchant really did not know the actual prices of his wares and just pricing them to how he looks at the item(s) if it looks good more expensive if bad a bit lower but he prices it all in gold after he left the merchant’s stall he noticed that more than 2 hours passed so he hurried back to the Cid’s place.
Once he arrived he saw Cid sitting in a corner he went towards him as he was walking cid noticed him and pulled out the katana shaped sword and handed it over to Chrono as he received it he touched it and says ”Identify’.

Equipping the sword he bid good bye to Cid and walked towards the village outskirt.
He arrived and begun to test his fighting ability against the nearby rabbits as he walked towards the rabbit the rabbit looked at him with caution when the rabbit saw him holding a weapon it begun to jump and kick him.
-35 health
Shocked Chrono begun swinging his sword against the rabbit he managed to hit the rabbit 3 times before he got hit again.

“Wow rabbits here really are strong if I didn’t train might have died in just 3 rabbit kicks” says Chrono as he continued attacking the rabbit again.

Damage 29
At last the rabbit turned grey leaving behind a rabbit fur and a 3 copper he gained 30% exp to the next level it was good but too strong for his current level.
It took almost a third of his health which is now 276/370
He is thinking now that he should not confront 2 or more rabbits at the moment unless he wants to die to a rabbit resting for a while back in the village gate till his health is back to max.
Thinking when I can I get to that tower, the tower was 2 kilometers from the village, he is thinking since a rabbit gave him such troubles how much more are the fox, wolf, and other monsters near the tower.
He spent the rest of the days hunting rabbits and resting in the village gate once his life is below 100
He gained 4 levels killing 22 rabbits after his first rabbit earning 22 rabbit fur and 62 copper and a few other japtem which he intends to sell once he gathered more.
The points he got from the 4 level up he assigned equally between Strength and Agility.
It was now night as he continued fighting rabbits he noticed that his damaged dealt to them is the same when first attacked a rabbit and the damaged he receives is now greater than before after finishing the rabbit he lost 163 health so he went back to the village rest at the inn then log out for the day.
After 2 hours of RL he log back in now that it was morning he ate at Marie’s restaurant and helped for 2 hours increasing his cooking proficiency by 3% he now went back walking to the fields then he noticed that there are now a few appearing out of light, it seems like the village became open now to new players, but it’s still few he noticed about 10-20 people running around some just talking to every person they see, after some time he just ignored them and continued walking to the outskirt.
Once he arrived he continued killing rabbits now it is easier to kill them before it took him 9-12 hits each now it just takes him 4-6 hits and less if he hits a vital spot.
He hunted rabbits till night he managed to kill 136 rabbits gaining 7 levels, 136 rabbit fur, 406 copper, and lots of japtem, it was now night so he headed back to the village and went to Marie’s restaurant to eat dinner and help out increasing his cooking proficiency again by 5% he gains more proficiency at night since there are a lot more customers at night after the restaurant closed he headed to the inn and rested for the night.
The next morning he went inside one of the shops to sell all the japtem he got except for the rabbit fur because he wanted to use it for leather armor might reduce the cost if he provided the materials, he got 8 silver and 34 copper for all the japtem.
After selling the japtem he felt lighter now since the rabbits have fallen in population at the moment he decided to try and fight the fox but before he went out the gate he assigned his extra stat points 10 in Strength, 10 in Agility, 5 in Intelligence and wisdom, and 35 in Vitality thinking he really needed Vitality as a solo player at the moment since he doesn’t have any healing skills or potions, the potions he saw at the village was quite expensive a 100 health restoring potion is 1 gold a piece, the 100 mana restoring potion at 2 gold a piece, and the stat enhancing at 5 gold a piece which lasts just 30 minutes, he could not afford it so he increased his Vitality by a lot using his stats, it might have solved his problems if he had a party but most other users here are still at their 4 week beginner period not allowed outside and even if they are allowed the monsters even just the rabbit can probably kill them in just 2-3 hits, looking at his bronze sword its durability is now 18/80 he decided to repair it before heading out the village repeating repair 6 times each time repairing an average of 9 durability, but since his repair skill is beginner the maximum durability became 72. His repair skill proficiency increased by 5%, his sword mastery proficiency increased by 43% the past 2 days.

After making sure he is ready he went out the village searched for a lone fox and attacked it with his sword.
Critical 121
He managed to critical the fox by slashing at the fox from the upper part of its front leg slowing down the fox’s movement speed and agility by 20% he continued to strike it at different places

He was panting after fighting the fox it was quite harder than fighting the rabbit, thinking to himself ‘I better get where the vital area of the monster are to get critical better to shorten the fights’ even thou he didn’t get too damaged his health got reduced by 136 since the fox got weak by his first slash which reduced its movement speed and agility by 20% if not he would have gotten more health reduced or died but because it’s ability to attack got hampered it was easier to attack it.
His sword’s durability fell by 4 points just in 1 battle, he guessed he will have to repair it every 10 battles.
After his thinking he took the loots 1 silver and some japtem.
He waited till his health is full again before attacking another fox, this time he observed which part of the monster’s body to attack that give s him critical hits, obviously attacking the head gives him the critical hits but since it’s a hard place to always hit he looked for other parts, hitting where the legs connects seems to give critical hits but not always but it does help in reducing the movement speed and agility of the monster by percentage to damaged caused it the area, seeing that he almost always target it first then the head for better accuracy and quick battles continuing this pattern till night came he managed to kill 84 fox, leveling 13 times, sword mastery reached beginner lvl 4(87%), repair reached beginner lvl 3(1%),gaining 54 fox pelts, 78 silver, and many japtem.
As usual of his night time he ate at Marie’s then worked, slept at the inn and continued this pattern for 4 days.
After 4 days he managed to kill 347 foxes, gaining 15 levels, 280 fox pelts, 352 silver, and a truck load of japtem he stored in his inn room every time his backpack can’t hold anymore, his skills repair reached beginner lvl 4(53%), sword mastery reached beginner lvl 7(13%), and cooking proficiency increased by 23%.
Due to his long hunting time locked in battle against fox lvl 25-52(monsters levels are higher near the village since no other players and only some guards are hunting the monster so they mostly fight amongst themselves growing in level since every 12 hours in-game about 100 POP of the beginner monster type respawns.) he gained the stat Fighting Spirit and have 12 points in it as well as increased Endurance by 30 points getting hit by strong bites always lowering his health to below 10% as well as increased sustenance by 42 points in holding out hunger till he ate at dinner and breakfast while doing strenuous work.
The sixth day since he started hunting the foxes he sold all the japtem he got except for the pelts and furs he got 6 gold 34 silver and 2 copper
It’s been 8 days since he was allowed outside the village gate and he still wasn’t able to reach the tower in the outskirt just 2 kilometers outside the village, he decided to spend 40 stat point 10 each to STR, AGI, INT, and WIS.
Now that he have quite some furs and pelts he went and look for the tailor shop as he walked across the village he noticed that there are many more users now about 200+ also that most of their avatars are beautified if not muscular, but a few have what seems like their original appearance since their body doesn’t seem to be too strange and their body and face seems to match well.(example a guy that looks like 14 years old with a body full of muscles that beats a professional wrestler in size) after his internal dialogues and opinions he continued to his goal the tailor shop.
Inside the tailor shop he asked the tailor to make him some armor from the fox pelts and rabbit fur he brought, looking at the furs and pelts the tailor smiled at him and said “I can make some, you want to pay in currency or in goods?” and he replied you can have all the extra pelts and furs as payment, to which the tailor smiled and said “ come closer I will have to measure you” after some time of measuring the tailor said “ do you have any requests? Extra pockets or any options” to which he says “none, just a good defense and does not hinders my movements” after hearing his answer the tailor says “ come back in an hour”.
Now that he have to wait for an hour he headed towards Cid’s smithy to get a new sword since the bronze sword seems to not be enough anymore.
As he approached the smithy he noticed that there were a couple of new people sitting around and doing something like striking metal and heating and cooling it in water they seem to be new players since the last he visited Cid’s smithy they weren’t here, after thinking to himself about the new faces he noticed that Cid seems a bit busy getting angry at some of the new faces about their work that seems like crooked swords and bent armor, he waited awhile for Cid to finish lecturing his (probably) apprentice(s).
As he finished, Cid noticed Chrono so he put down his tools and walked towards Chrono when he stood in front of him he asked “need anything?” to which Chrono showed the bronze sword shaped like a katana and said “I need a stronger sword”.
Cid then said “show me your stat so I can make a perfect fit for you” to which Chrono says in a small voice “show Status Window to Cid”.

“Come back in one hour I should be done by then” Cid says heading back to his workplace
“Wait! ... How much is it?” Chrono says before Cid begun his work
“hmm..... I normally charge 10 gold but since we have known each other for some time and I like you I will give it to you for 5 gold” answered Cid before he continued his work
“Thanks! Cid I will be back in an hour” Chrono says as he left past some time
After looking around at different stalls noticing that an hour has almost passed he begun heading back to the tailor first there he received the fox leather armor, greaves, gloves, and boots which increased his defense by 3 times than his current armors, thanking the tailor he equipped it all and headed to Cid’s place.
As he arrived to Cid’s place he noticed him putting finishing touches to a silver sword similar shape to the one he built me before but in a silver color, after some more minutes he finished the sword when he noticed me and called for me to come nearer, as he approached Cid put the sword in its sheath and handed him the sword, unsheathing the sword Chrono looked amazed at the sharp edge and bright light reflected in the blade, he says in a soft voice “Identify”.

Equipping the sword he continued to the field heading for Lezard’s Tower, Swearing to himself that he will certainly reach it before the newbie’s get to go out the village.
Once he went out the gate he only noticed a few rabbits and foxes, and they run away from him once they spot him within 100 meters, he was thinking ‘why are they running from me?, well that’s good in a way I won’t have to fight today walking to the tower.’, as he was nearing the tower just approximately 500 meters to the tower 10 wolves came out the nearby forest and approached him, seeing the wolves he drew his sword and prepared for battle, the wolves begun encircling him after they finish encircling him a few lunge at him causing him to evade and then strike their legs as the other wolves came near clawing and sometimes biting his legs and arms, his health dropped by 16% thanks to his armor the damaged he received has reduced quite a lot, by this time he managed to kill 3 wolves and injured 6 wolves near the legs just like the foxes he fought before once their legs are injured it’s easier to evade their attacks or escape if necessary, but once he killed the fifth wolf the other wolves howled and about 20 more wolves appeared from the forest, beginning his strategy again he managed to kill his 29th wolf as he was killing the last wolf his life is not at just 5% the last attack of the dying wolf left him with just 10 health and was reducing due to the bleeding in 10 seconds he was going to die of blood lost unless someone heals him, drink a health potion, or have the first aid skill.
But in just 2 seconds he noticed a large shadow above him when he turned around he saw a very big wolf with silver fur and big gold eyes in second the wolf bit his head off.
