As soon as Lennon arrived in Alcronia, he sprinted out the gates.
Suddenly, Lennon's body felt much lighter and he sprinted through the gates, and out into the wilderness. The Thinnest Forest is extremely close to the Alcronia kingdom, the archer orcs sometimes even clash with the guards.
Lennon's plan was simple, it involved the guards, the trees and the orcs. NPCs of the elite guards usually sat around on the walls of the kingdom, and they were very powerful, each guard was around level two hundred.
After Lennon arrived in the forest, he taken out the starting weapon he had been given from his inventory.
- Grants +1 Strength
- Has a low chance of dealing AoE damage
[Warning! Low durability, the weapon will break soon]
After finding a good spot, he immediately started to chop the trees using the cleaver while trying to be as loud as possible. The cleaver didn't even make a dent in the tree, in fact, Lennon was striking the tree as light as possible so the cleaver didn't break. Not long after, he turned around as he heard footsteps.
Two archer orcs, their eyes were red, indicating they were furious. Two arrows immediately flew at Lennon.
As the arrows hit Lennon, he activated his skill and the arrows bounced off, leaving the orcs confused. Another important fact about the archer orcs is that they take twelve seconds to reload their crossbow, and during this time, they usually get closer to their target. Lennon immediately started running, they were on the edge of the Thinnest Forest and quite close to the kingdom.

"Captain, two orcs are rushing towards the walls."
"What? Do those pigs think two is enough to bring us down? I thought they possessed intelligence, just kill them"
"Alright" —-
As Lennon got closer to the gates, he squatted down behind a big rock and saw two beams of ice penetrate the orcs behind him.

The experience system in Tisit depended on the number of damage you dealt to the enemy, as well as the number of damage you received. Although Lennon didn't actually get damage, the system counted the damage as 'absorbed', which meant he also got granted experience despite doing basically nothing.
'Two levels, not bad'
Even though Lennon had statistically contributed to this 'battle', his contribution was minimal, resulting in him only gaining a small percentage of the actual experience.
'Time to repeat this until the guards get suspicious'
In just a matter of hours, Lennon had become the highest level player in the entire game. Though the strategy slowly started to become ineffective since the experience gained lowered tremendously as he levelled up, and the castle guards were suspicious enough to send scouts to investigate. But by this time, Lennon had already safely entered the walls of the kingdom.
'Alright, I should probably convince that person to play with me'
Tabsi, the undisputed master of the arena in Tisixa Online. Although her rank varied from rank two to rank fourteen, that was because she didn't try-hard at the game like Lennon, and only logged in when she felt like it. The only person who could match her in a duel was Lennon, and even then Lennon had a hard time beating her.
- Hey Tabs, you should play some Tisit, there are a lot of powerful players here, and above all, the graphics actually aren't shitty as fuck.
Lennon sent her a message, though he didn't know any powerful players aside from the rankers in Tisixa, it was obvious new powerful faces would show up. After a while, Tabsi replied.
- Well, I was looking for something to do now that Tisixa shut down. I'll try to play, but my capsule is a little bit old so it might not run that well.
- Great! Oh yeah, and when you choose a class, you have to make sure to call the angel that comes down Verrinal, and then the room will break down and there's a bunch of hidden classes, then you can choose one that fits your play style, but don't choose the one that she's trying hard to hide since that's actually a trap. There's a bunch of them available, but I think one of the close combat ones would suit you, just look through the clips of the orbs one by one…
- The fuck?
It took another twenty minutes of explaining for Tabsi to actually understand Lennon's instructions.
- Alright, see you in Alcronia
- The west side right?
- Yeah, just bug the guard until he lets you go
- Aight, see ya Len.
'Now then, let's check the leaderboards'
The leaderboard opened up when the first player hit level five, and it displayed the highest level players in the game. However, like Lennon, players can choose to not show themselves on the leaderboard.
'Anyone with a brain would choose to stay hidden, afterall, the fame you gain as a ranker can quickly turn into jealousy'

Although he was level thirty four, his stats looked like they were in the early 20s. This is due to the fact that his stats were garbage to start off with. Though he still hasn't used the skill points he acquired. A player will obtain a skill point every time they level up, these skill points can be used to either upgrade their current skills, or traded in for new skills.
