As Mylo was walking toward the gates that allowed players to enter the valsea’s forest, he could see numerous players whispering as he passes the alleyway.

“Hey,is that...”

“No way…”

“Cosmo, there’s only one with that name…”

“Should we go talk to him?”

“Don’t, I heard that one of the major guilds,’ ‘cosmos legion’, has targeted him.”

“Oh!”

“…”

Mylo now understood the numerous whispers and gazes.

“Ha,I knew I would get unwanted attention because of that global announcement…”

He kept walking without paying attention to them, but was abruptly stopped by a strange looking me.

Black, short hair hangs over a thin, smiling face, as if he was unconditionally happy. He had partially shut eyes, unable for one to look at his eye lid. Looking at him for the first time, one could judge him as a wise man. But mylo only had one thought when looking at him, cunning. From the outside he might look like a gentle and polite individual, but to mylo, his appearance was like a mask, hiding his true self and intensions.

“Hello Mr.Cosmo,my in-game name is Lexx. I am the Vice-Leader of the major guild ‘Cosmos Legion’. Mm…”

Mylo already knew the guild ‘Cosmos Legion’ that was because it was the guild his uncle funded using his parents’ money. The one in charge of the guild outside affaires was his uncle but the one handling the in game affaires was his uncle’s son, Yulis Cosmo or also known ingame by Zaros. Yulis was an Egotistical and Bad mannered individual. He only thinks about how to increase his reputation and loves controlling does weaker than him. If things don’t work out in his favour, he uses his father’s influence and money to make it favourable for him. A truly Silver spooned individual.

Mylo expression changed, showing certain hostility towards Lexx.

“…”

“Ahem…that’s a unique-looking sword you have attached to your waist. Is that the reward you acquired from completing the first boss kill?”

“What do you want from me?”

“…, I came to see you in order to invite you as a core member of our guild. Of course you will have a high paying salary as well as medical and dental benefit. And you will be provided the best capsule currently in the market.”

“…”

“You seem to be surprised by how amazing the offer is, but this is a special offer only available for you and no one else. What do you say?”

“Not interested.”

“What?”

“I said I wasn’t interested in joining a guild, in particular yours.”

“Why?”

“None of your business, Goodbye.”

“WAIT!”

“What is it now?”

“Apologize, but I can’t let you leave like that.”

As mylo was leaving, four players started surrounding him on all sides.

“What is that?”

“I’ve been ordered to use any means necessary. I can’t let you grow stronger, who knows what kind of obstacle you bring to us in the future.”

“I see.”

Mylo drew out his rapier and replied.

“Are you sure you want to attack me in the middle of the kingdom? I doubt the guards would just watch.”

“Its fine, the four of them already know the consequences of fighting inside the kingdom. They will be handsomely rewarded for their deeds.”

“What a shameful guild.”

“…KILL HIM!”

The four goons attack simultaneously toward Mylo. He easily dodged the attack coming his way, with the increased movement speed from the Inn’s Buff effect + the movement speed from the gloves, he easily had an increased movement speed of 24%.

“You have been attacked by players; you are allowed to defend yourself without any consequences.”

The goons were surprised by his speed. But the moment they realized he evaded their attack, one of them was already dealt with.

“You have dealt 389 damage to Goon #1”

“You have applied the Blight status; enemies will lose 2.5% of its maximum hp every second for 12 seconds.”

“What?”

The sudden damage value surprised the four players, they weren’t elite but they saw how much an elite player could do. The highest they saw was 100 damage to an elite mob. But their current enemies dealt more than 600 damage with one auto attack. That was because his physical damage was increased by 45% + the increase of all his attributes allowed him to apply such damage.

After a few seconds, the first goon died. The remaining three players and the spectatigue players were astonished by the current situation. Whispers started to spread around us. Lexx seems to realize it.

“L-Lexx, h-his too strong!”

“…”

“The guards seems to have realized that something is going on, let’s retreat for now.And..”

“…Mark my words, Mr.Cosmo. Your choice today was the wrong one.”

“Yeah,yeah. Blah, blah, blah. You hooligans always speak the same crap when they get their ass kicked. Go to your leader and start licking his ass before he takes off your pay roll for the week.”

“YOU…”

“HALT! WHAT’S GOING ON HERE!”

“Seems like your queue is up.”

“..., LET’S GO!”

“YES SIR.”

The players left in a rush in order to escape the guard’s attention, so did Mylo and the players watching the fight.

“Ha,I didn’t think I would already face off against that bastard guild.”

“Whatever, I still have the advantage. For now let’s try to complete Efferus quest. I’m sure the reward would be juicy.”

[You have entered ‘Valsea Forest’.]

“Let’s head back to the dungeon’s location.”
