“Assassins have 3 subclasses, poison, stealth and melee combat. You will get armor and weapons with stats and since you are an assassin you can only use leather clothing. Your stats will be poison, which you can use to cripple, inflict more damage or poison someone’s drink ect. Stealth will give you more ambush power, the stealth mode you used now will get much stronger if you get gear that has more stealth damage then the other subclasses. Melee combat is for fighting outside of stealth, not used by many assassins, but it is never to be underestimated as the attack speed and your body movement increases during a fight.
Once you have leveled you get 1 point that you can put in either of these subclasses. Max lvl is 60, just like me, you can respec your points everytime you want, but not during combat. Remember that you can have several pieces of gear in your inventory, have one with a lot of poison points, one with lots of stealth points and one with melee combat points. Some missions might require me to have a large portion of health with a big shield and heavy armor, therefor I have to keep it on me, but I feel like this is the most comfortable for me though.” Nort seems to know everything, wonder how long he has been here?
“Take this Sky, this is the least I can give you” The nun hands over some money, a poison flask and a little bomb.
“Thank you” The nun headed back to the city.
“She hurried off quick." what`s the rush?
“Shes a npc you know? Once the mission is complete she can be found at the same location, keep in mind they are not real players, but that should not make you treat them less than players. They all have their memories and for them they have been living in this world for years, you can speak to them as they were real people. They are always really happy and glad to help, talk, they also have their own routine of life, although it may not seem like it."
“Let`s head to our next quest location ok?” Nort paid a horse caravan to travel us back to the city, it was quite relaxing after killing all those boars.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Your next quest will be to gather food for the homeless shelter, follow me” The city seemed kind of lively with many players roaming around having meals, fun, played board games and some even dueled. Some shops with swords, herbs, food was also a part of the city.
“It should be right her---?” Nort stopped up as someone called his name.
“You think you can just walk in front of me while you owe me money? Huh?” A stranger approached Nort`s face, then he was standing toe to toe, he was wearing some kind of animal skull on his head as a helmet, with markings all over his body.
“Lets make a deal, if you can beat me in a duel I will give you three times the money i owe you ok? If i win I owe you nothing.” Nort lifted his straw hat as he smiled at the stranger with a bit of a cockiness.
“You think you can defeat me? I accept your challenge, Nort!” Both the Nort and the stranger walked towards the duel area. The stranger threw of his shirt and his whole body was filled with markings.
“I will now show you the power of the elements!” The elemtalist put both his hand together and his markings started to glow!
“GO!” The announcer announced.
The elemtalist shot a big fiery ball toward Nort, but it was dodged, Nort charges towards the elemtalist with his blade drawn, just as he is about to strike, the elemtalist uses earth roots to stop him in his tracks.
“I got you now!” The elemtalists markings turned from green too white as his hair started to flap in the wind. Small tornados surrounded both his feet as he ran incredibly fast towards Nort, it was like he was floating on the ground, he jumped and kicked Nort in his face as his he just managed to cut himself out of the roots!
“You challenge me to a duel and that is all you have to stand up with? Pathetic! Easy money!” The elementalist summons a tornado around Nort while he is on the ground, the tornado lift Nort up in the air.

“Die loser!” As the elemtalist is about to fling Nort away the tornado was cut! Nort lands firmly on the ground as he jumps with such a force that the ground behind him got turned to rubble! The sword slash was so fast that no one saw it, before we knew it Nort was already behind the elementalist and his sword was sheathed.
“Impossiable…humpf!” A big cut on the elemtalist appeared a second after Nort`s sword was sheeted. Nort won!
After the fight was over the elemtalist woke up with no wounds on his body.
“Let`s go Sky, we got questing to do?” He smiled and had his thumb up, I swear I saw and heard that smile go “ching!”
“That was amazing, how did you do that?” How is it possible to move like that?
“I have been here for a long time, lets just leave it at that, lets keep moving son! If you want to be as good as me, you have to hone your skills, but I will help. There is one thing I have to warn you about, this world is not as peaceful as you might think. This city is pvp protected, u cant hurt other players, unless it is a duel of course. I have been through many fights that have almost cost my life.
Killing players will not give any mark on you, you can also loot the dead bodies and trust me, some people out there are more then willing the get a hold of your gear one way or another.” Nort had a empty expression in his eyes for a split second.
“How many people have you killed? If I may ask?” I immediately regret asking that question, my curiosity was bigger then my sympathy for a moment.
“Back in the day when everyone was questing and exploring at the same time, some npc`s was to occupied by another player and questing was hard, some could only do 1-2 quests a day if lucky. There was a guild created “Darkblood brotherhood” with only one purpose to kill players, by doing this not only was the population lowered, but people feared to go outside of the citys. That was when the “Guardian Angles” were created, I joined as soon as I heard, we vowed to always protect the players of Felia, but it didn’t come with a cheap price, many of use died, but not in vein, the “Darkblood brotherhood” was weakened and the questing was do able after the battles.
There is something called zone pvp. If you go to a place to lvl and the zone is said to be from lvl 10-15, you can only kill those who are those lvls only if you are within that range lvl yourself. To say it easy, no lvl 60 character can wait for you to step outside the city and kill you.” I could see the empty eyes of Nort again, I have never killed anyone, but I have lived in the real world long enough to see a lot of people be killed, friends and family, this world is not that different.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We got to the quest giver.
“Please go kill 5 wolfs and 5 bears and bring their meat to me, you will be rewarded!”
“I accept! I will be back shortly.” Nort pays another horse caravan to travel us to the location of the wolfs and bears outside the city.
“hop on!” I got on the caravan.
“This will be the last quest I will be around, now that I know you know the basics you will do fine on your own, if you meet other players, do your best to befriend them, one friend is better then 1 more enemy.
"You can never have too many friends.”
Nort is looking at the fields, like he is reminiscing the old days.
I have been living my whole life alone, those close to me usually died shortly because of the regular bomb runs and attacks. It has mostly been me and my sister, but I couldn’t say that to Nort.
We arrived to our destination.
