Chapter 3 : A first defeat and a new path

-Hello everyone we welcome you to the daily news of AMC (Atlantis Media Corporation) .Today we have an important guest in the studio here.It is not because he is the richest man in the world nor because he is AMC owner but because he is of thecreator of TOW:Mr Luke Kalamar.TOW was released 2 years ago , which is 10 years inside TOW but the highest level is 295 a player called Mike the guild master of "TheSavages" ; it is the biggest guild in TOW which consists of 1 billion people . TOW current game population is 3 billions people and that gives you a good idea how scary is "TheSavages" . They are not just a guild full of people but they don't take anyone whose level below 200 and currently they have 600 million people above level 250 .

- Mr.Kalamar is here with us today to clarify and explain few things about the game which is still vague -

- Well, TOW is 10 times larger than the earth and I wanna correct you about something "Mike" is not the highest level TOW.We have 3 people who got past level 300 -

-WHAT? how come they don't show in the leader board-

-Well they finished certain requirement in the game in order to keep their levels hidden .Which is why I cant disclose their names.-

- Mr.Kalamar what about the rumor that has been going on about you giving all the stocks to the winner of the game .Can you tell us how to win the game ? -

-The players are not still ready for that yet so it will have to wait . -

-When do you think the requirement to be your successor be disclosed-

-Well considering the progress of the past 2 years . I don't think it will be any time soon that i disclose the requirement . Although we have 3 player who got past level 300 -

-Well , thank you Mr.Kalamar for talking a bit about the game .This is Keith Turner reporting from AMC studios

Gray just entered the training center with Drake and he saw Ken standing there .

-hey ken-

-hey Gray, I see you have a new friend over there -

-yes this is Drake .Drake this is ken -

-so are you here to give me your reply about my offer ? -

-yes. When can we start ? -

-a bit anxious are you ? well come back in a week .I want to see if my master will accept . Though I told him about you and he was interested -

- OK can Drake stay here with you in the meanwhile ? -

-Sure -

Haitham logged out and went to sleep since tomorrow will be his first day in SU .

The next morning Haitham decided to vent off some anger by crushing SU martial arts clubs . SU was known for its martial arts club that were the best worldwide .He crushed every club till he got to the karate club. There were lots of people in there ready in fighting stance . A grin showed Haitham's face " this is going to be fun " . Suddenly two big guys entered the dojo; one of them looked to be in his thirties while the other looked like he was in his late forties . The younger guy stepped forward

-what is going on ? -

-Master this guy is running all around the campus defeating martial arts clubs -

-Hey kid, is that true ? -

-yeah so what ? -

-looks like I have to deal with you myself-

suddenly the older guy stepped forward and told the younger guy to step down

-but master , let me take care of him, It will take a second -

-I don't think you will be able to defeat him in short time or even defeat him at all -

The younger guy wanted to protest more but he knew better . Haitham got into his fighting stance then he charged toward the old guy . He was going to make a faint to surprise the guy and show up behind him and knock him unconscious . To Haitham's surprise the guy side stepped and directed a rotated kick toward Him . In the last second He avoided it .

-not bad kid -

-not bad yourself old man -

the fight kept going with faints by both sides for 6 hours . Both Haitham and the other guy were tired. Suddenly the other guy vanished and hit Him from behind . Haitham tried to parry , but it was like the other guy knew what He was going to do and changed the direction of his punch .It was no ordinary punch , it seemed that it was filled with Ki

-kid you are good .You even pushed me to use 70% of my power but it seems you kind of made your own martial art . Am I right ?

-yeah so what ?

- well you are a great fighter . A prodigy among prodigies but no matter how good you are it is impossible to beat a martial art with long history -

suddenly the younger man from earlier came forward .

-hey kid I admit you are good . You are the first one to last this long and push Master this far besides his daughter -

- Huh? -

-this guy is Ryuu Johnson the world's only red belt in karate . people through time would take at least 50-60 years to get to red belt but master got it in 40 -

- Ryuu is it ? My name is Haitham I will be back -

-anytime kid but I just came here to visit -

Haitham left the dojo without hearing the last sentence .While he was going out of the dojo door a girl passed by him and they had eye contacts for a brief second .

*********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Kara just finished classes and heard that her father is coming to visit the karate club today so she decided to go and say hi . After getting into the club she saw her dad all sweaty and look tired .

-Dad? what happened ? -

-A worthy opponent challenged me and just got out . -

-Just got out ? are you talking about the tall guy who just walked out of the gym ? - " could it be the same guy I just saw getting out ? "

-Yes -

Kara was surprised she was the only one who could make her father go serious .

******************************************************************************************************************************************************

Haitham got back to his dorm , took a shower and went on TOW. Drake and Ken were in front of him and Ken told both Drake and Gray they will have to go to a mountain that is 6 hours away from Horringgton . After 3 hours of running the 3 arrived at the top of the mountain where there was a big wooden house . Suddenly the door opened up and a guy who seemed to be 2.50 m came out of the house . He had a black hair and black eyes , a muscled body that put the body builders to shame . The thing that surprised Gray the most was the guy's palms . Gray was considered to have a big palm and he never met anyone who had a bigger palm than his but this guy's palm was three times larger than his . in a millisecond the big guy got in front of the 3 people which seemed weird for a guy his size .

-Hey Ken is this the one ? -

-Yes master -

-hmm kid the name is Gray right? -

-yes -

-I am Raoh . Ken used to be my disciple . He told me you are one of the adventurers . Is that right ? -

-Yes -

-Ken, do you mind going for a walk with the other guy whom name I assume is Drake ? -

-Sure master-

both Ken and Drake walked away to give Gray and Raoh some privacy .

- So kid or shall I call you Gray . you are a player aren't you ?-

-Yes but I can conclude from your question that you are a player as well . How can you have an NPC as a disciple ? -

-Ken became my disciple 9 years ago . He was so arrogant because he was the strongest guy in Horringgton , so when I arrived at Horrington 9 years ago I defeated him and he asked to learn under me -

-OK , but why did you ask him to bring me here ? -

-At first I wanted to teach you the same techniques I taught Ken , but I have been looking for a successor for my martial arts style for a long time and haven't found someone who is worthy . Do you wanna become my apprentice ? -

- yes -

Gray was amazed

- but how? you are a player how can I get a title and a class from a player ? -

-hahaha , swift star is a hidden martial arts with a history of 100 thousand years old . I can only pick one successor and I have been looking for a successor for a long time , I guess the game understood the importance of the process I just did -

-so that explains how I got the fighting mastery for both unarmed fighting and dual sword at a master level because I read on the forums it took the player 1-5 years to gain the mastery and none got it to advanced level yet and no one has gotten dual sword mastery yet -

- yep smart kid aren't you -

- but wait , Ken said that I will be trained for 3 months -

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

-Ah he did . I wasn't planning on taking you as a successor . Ken said he found some guy with skills so I thought I should take a look at the guy he complemented since he never recommended anyone for me . 3 months was to give you basic fighting skills but I guess you wont need that anymore -

-so how much time will the training take ? -

-hmmm lets see , the fastest guy who became a grand master through the generations of swift star successors was me and it took me 30 years -

-WHAT? -

-what do you expect kid , swift star is the strongest martial art with the longest history and if you aren't prodigy among prodigies it would take life time to get even to trainee level . By the way kid where do you live in real life ? -

-Senren city in Saiya federation -

-where do you currently live ? -

- at this moment I live in SU's dorms -

- hmmm OK it is time for you to move out from your dorm and move to my house -

- WHAT ? -

-what did you expect you are a 100 thousand year martial art successor and you are not gonna live with your master ? -

-I guess so... , so when do I move out -

-Well right after you log out today but first lets check your status window -

- show status window to Raoh -

Unallocated Stat Points

295

- hmmm not bad for a newbie but you need to work a lot on your stats -

after saying that Raoh called Drake and Ken back then went inside the house and brought back a ring

-this ring will increase the gravity around you , for now I will set it to 100x gravity -

Gray put on the ring and he could barely stand

- good I see you are able to stand , now for the next thing you will spare versus Ken and Drake -

-both of them ? -

-yeah -

Gray was not the type to complain about training so he kept sparing against Ken and Drake and of course the motherfuckers did not miss the chance to beat the hell out of him .

* 12 hours later *

after getting beaten up again and again , Gray got +20 endurance , +30 str ,+50 stamina ,+15 vit , +5 fighting spirit .

-OK , training is over as for your unallocated stats , each level you get 5 stat points so allocate 3 to str and 2 to agi , because I don't think you will need to increase int and wis -

-I guess so since swift star is a mele class -

-dumbass swift star is not just a mele class , that is an insult . Swift star is everything but I said to focus on your str and agi because you can get them faster by reading books and for now you need to get faster and stronger because you are too weak -

After the conversation was over both logged out then Gray went to sleep because he has classes tomorrow .

*The next day *

Haitham woke up and packed his stuff since he will move into Raoh's house after classes are over . Before TOW he was going to study computer engineering but after the invention of virtual reality capsules he changed his mind to study virtual reality . After getting to the lecture hall , he realized how big was the lecture hall . It was designed to fit 600 students and that was not weird because , but after few minutes the whole class were full . The surprising thing was that the same girl who saw at the entrance exam and the one who was going into the karate dojo as well was sitting front of him . He was just wondering how strong is she since he saw her beat the thugs who tried to hit on her .After the class was over he got back into his dorm and called Raoh to get his address . Haitham arrived at Raoh's house , it was a big mansion like house surrounded with fences and had a big gate that could fit a 10 men into it . He rang the bell and Raoh opened the door for him .

-been expecting you -

-do you live here by yourself ? -

-yeah but I have maids to clean and cook -

- how come your maids didn't open the door ? -

-well I have been expecting and wanted to welcome my successor personally -

What surprised Haitham the most wasn't the big mansion nor that Raoh opened the Gate for him , it was Raoh's size . Haitham thought that Raoh changed his appearance and increased his height but he was really 2.50 m and as big as in TOW .

-hmm I want to check out something come with me -

After saying that Haitham followed Raoh and they got in front of a rock .

-Can you make the rock explode ? -

-sure -

this was not a big deal for Haitham since it was an easy thing to do by directing your ki toward your fist . He punched the rock and it broke to pieces .

-is that alright ? -

-no , I said make the rock explode not smash it , here let me show you -

Raoh got in front of the rock and put one finger on it

*boom*

all of the sudden the rock was gone with nothing left in there .

-I know you can use your ki , but the thing you still lack is controlling the nature energy of the other things around you and use them for your own advantage . Anyways for now I will show you your room so you can unpack and we will start the training in game after you get your capsule delivered here -

Kara got in the middle of the city and decided to go and fight monsters .

* beep beep *

system registered that you are the Ancient Dragon successor do you want that to be your title and your class ?

-yes-

Kara was shocked , since she was the successor of the Ancient Dragon martial art , she didn't think the system would register that as in game class .

* 2 hours later *

Kara was now level 50 and she still didn't find any worthy opponents , her dad told her that she will find strong opponents in here .

* 2 years later *

Kara was now level 310 , though that was not registered in the leader board because she defeated a white dragon which was considered the leader of his tribe . She decided to visit the blacksmith to fix her dual swords .

While walking around the town , you could hear lots of mumbles around Kara and the nickname " Indestructible Queen " a lot .

- Hey is that the indestructible queen ? -

-who is that? -

-are you kidding me ? who doesn't know the indestructible queen , she was called that because who ever got in her way was mercilessly slaughtered and there was one time where a guild of one thousand people tried to gang up on her but they all ended up dying -

Suddenly a window popped up for Kara.

The swift star which the system registered to be the rival martial arts of the Ancient Dragon has just appointed a successor
