âLord,we can secure food for you .
There is no need to put yourself in dangerâ
What Anthony said made sense, but Alex wanted to be there when monsters were slain. Else, how would he find out how the game worked ? Did they drop skills, items ? He didnât know yet !
âThanks for being so thoughtful but I am not the type of leader who risks his men without risking his own head too â
That of course, was a lie ! But nevertheless it improved his image in Anthonyâs eyes .
Followed by Flamma he was led to the forest by a very experienced Anthony who looked like he had been doing this all his life. Every time Alex asked him about it, his reply was âi dont know how, but I have got this vague feeling that i have done this before â
It did not take long before they stumbled across wild boars .
Unlike the earth ones , their skin was fully black and their horns were half the size of a humanâs arm .
In truth Alex had no idea how these monsters that looked like they could kill him easily would be his own food .
âBe careful, you think you can take themâ
âYou have got to stop making fun of us like this lord , if we couldnât even take care of these weaklings what use are we to you? â
Flamma equipped his two handed axe and hit a poor boar right at his skull .
Alex saw boarâs death come quick and its appearance became unsightly , the fact that a huge man like Flamma could be so fast sent shivers down his spine .
âNote to self ,never piss him off â
Anthony on the other hand handled it more elegantly, his sword skills were top notch and his strikes and slashes were precise . Took him only 3 swings to finish off a huge boar , in both cases the boarâs body became pixels and dissipated .
âJust how the hell am I supposed to eat?â
He soon got his answer, right where their bodies previously were now stood a leather bag full of boar meat , and a single copper coin .

The leather bag seemed to have been made out of the boarâs own skin, looked like hunter bags he once saw on a museum.
âGreat , lets go back to the village and eat. I am starving â
But the red window that appeared next in his screen, cancelled the pleasant dinner plans !
Black Boar King is out for blood !
Angered from the vile one who slays his offsprings he has left his nest to seek revenge !
âOh Shit , Flamma protect me quick â
The Boar King dashed towards him so fast that neither Anthony nor Flamma had the chance to react .
When he saw the boar who was about to hit Him in the chest with his thick skull, Alex quickly covered his body with clouds and prayed for the best .
Thankfully, the cloud was large enough to cover him from head to toe or he would have hurt his back , after all even if the cloud prevented him from taking damage the push had so much strength behind it that it sent Alex flying !
âUghh, since this is a game I wont die for real but damnnn ... IT FUCKING HURTS â
He tried moving his hands which he could barely feel, he touched his body and thankfully his ribs werenât broken.
In pain though he was ,he tried his best to maintain focus !
The boar king could dash at him again .
â This damned rusty sword , whatâs your use â
He didnât hide his pitiful remarks about that sword, but still chose to equip it.
âI instinctively chose to die with a sword, feeling like a Viking right now .
Valhalla here I come â
He tried screaming like a warrior but stopped once realised that he sounded stupid. He needed to pull himself together, no matter if this was real or not he had to.
Will people like Mark Anthony who served Julius Caesar himself follow him if he continued to be a pussy? This game was too realistic, it wouldnât come as a surprise if a servant abandoned his master.
âCome again you ugly brute â
Anthony took up his sword and prepared to engage in combat with the boar but Alex raised his hand and stopped him.
The boar was after him anyways, Anthonyâs taunts werenât going to work .
The Boar King dashed at him and Alex saved himself with the cloud again, this time he was only pushed back 5 metres .
Confusion was building up, he didnât want to fail his first battle, especially while he was being watched by Anthony and Flamma.
The Boar King went at it once again and this time Flamma couldnât hold it, every-time it dashed he felt the need to protect his lord.
âStop right there soldier, if the lord wants to prove himself then leave him be â
âI dont take orders from you so dont tell me what to do â
He raised his giant axe preparing to smash the Boarâs head but what happened next shocked him completely.
When he saw the boar coming towards him again Alex stepped on his cloud to take the high ground and coated his sword with thunder to make him deal more damage.
â Smells like bitch in here â
He pierced the boarâs back from high up until the sword tip came out of itâs belly, and a green window appeared in his screen that told him he had won .
