sfx: Rooster and Eagles roar out.

Its finally broad day light, it was just exact time for jacob to move his arse out of his house while carrying a purse of gold.

Today, he will be heading out to the nearby forest beyond the kingdoms wall to increase his level as what he thought to, but, he will need to buy his weapon and his armor set first, and the only place for him to buy those things, is the merchants market.

It is located on the left wing of the kingdom right behind the Knights Guild Building.

The market is filled with daily shoppers and of course registered marketer. Fruits, Vegetables, Fish Meat, Cows Meat and several Cooking Ingredients and Materials are available at the market, not only that, potions and other antidotes are also available here.

Several merchants also trade their best equipments to the shoppers in this place, which is the reason why its even more lively.

Vendor: Potions here!!

Vendor: Please have a look!!

Vendor: Affordable Monsters meat here!!!

Among the merchants that are present in that place, jacob passed by to a littl girl with green hair.

Little girl: Please have take a look, my cart is filled with items, you might want one!!!

To his estimated guess, the little girl is only 7 years of age. Yet she is already at the market selling some weapons and equipment for adventurers.

Little girl: Equipment and Sets here are for affordable price!!!

On her cart were several iron rod, silver knife, iron sword and copper shield. The moment she noticed jacobs presence, she then skillfully greeted jacob and welcomed him on her little cart.

Little girl: Fellow brave Atlantean welcome to my humble shop. My name is Anna,Who do i have the pleasure of speaking with today?

Jacob was somehow outspoken from the little felows greetings. He was once a call center specialist in his previous job and those words were their exact regular opening spiels.

Jacob: Oh hi litte girl anna, im jacob.

Little girl: Hi jacob, how can i make your day feel even better?

Jacob was even more touched when the little girl ana wants to make his day even better.

Jacob: Oh thank you, I would like to buy a weapon today, is there any thing that you want to recommend to me?

Without dilly dally, the little girl assessed jacobs affinity and begun her probing act.

Anna: Great, It would be my pleasure to help you out jacob, but first i will be asking you questions which will somehow help me out in finding the perfect weapon for you. Okay?

Jacob: Yeah sure.

Anna: Perfect, now jacob, first i would like to ask if what attributes are you best with?

Jacob:...< silence >

Jacob was somehow left in silence and dont know what to answer to anna. He is confused, it is mainly because he is assuming that he is the only person right now has an attribute.

The moment anna mentioned attribute, jacob went nuts.

Anna somehow managed to understand the situation and conclude that it was jacobs first time. Thus, she immediately retracted the situation and starts explaining everything to her customer while giving him an option to choose with.

Anna: Uhm, Jacob, maybe you would understand if i somehow explained it to you. Every Atlanteans were given a special attribute by the deity of water, for instance in my case, i was given with F - in all three stats, strength, vit and agility.

This is the main reason why i am destined to be a merchant and not an adventurer. If you have a great advantage with vit then i would recommend you the shield and sword. That way you will be able to enhance your vit and str at the same time.

If you have great advantage in agi and str on the other hand, i would definitely give you the sword alone with out the shield, this is for you to become a great swordsman.

However if you have high talent with agility then the knife would be best with you.

There are also stats that only guild can manage to pull out, for example the mages that we have, the mage guild manage them and even guided them to become a great wizards and sages of atlantis. Unfortunately if you have an S for intellect, im afraid i wont be able to provide an item for you. However i could give you the direction to the mage guild for them to assist you with your equipment and set.

Explained by Anna towards jacob.

This time, Jacob finally understand the situation.

Anna: So jacob, what attribute do you bests with?

Barely able to pull out himself, jacob then go for the knives.

Jacob: I want to buy these set of knives.

Anna: I see. so you were blessed with a great agility, thats great to hear jacob, this knife will only cost you three copper coins.

Seeing jacob somehow interested on the sword, ana made her moved once more.

Ana: Jacob I do understand that you are somehow interested in other items, Is there anything else which you might wanna buy?

With out dilly dally jacob inquired for the sword.

Jacob: Uhm ana, I would also like to buy that copper sword.

Anna:Are you sure jacob?

Jacob: yeah, how much was that for?

Anna: The copper sword would cost you 6 copper coin, with this weapons you will only need to pay 9 copper coins, would you like to continue with the purchase?

Jacob: Yeah.

Anna: Great, let me just packed the item for you first.

jacob:That would be great anna, and thanks, by the way,.

Thus anna wrapped up the items. Seeing his current situation, now that he has finally obtain his weapon, jacob wants to learn any information about the status bar on his sea of consciousness and with ana in front of him, he was hoping that somehow ana could clearly explain everything to him before he head out and starts making a progress.

Jacob: ana i would like to ask you other question, would it be fine?

Anna: Sure.

claimed by anna as she wrapped the copper sword and the set of knives on a leather skin.

Jacob: Anna, Can you explain to me the levels that i can see above my status bar?

Anna: Oh that one, that level represents your insignia status as an atlantean soldier. Level one atlanteans are considered to be rookies and novice with in the kingdom. They are those people who are not yet recognized by the deity of water however have a great chance of being identified and recognized by other deity. In other words it is the first insignia that any atlenteans would have. Actually Jacob, even us dont really have a definite idea of what that level is, but for sure we all know, that once your level have gone up, it means you were recognized by the deity and will give you a unique ability. Right now, the highest level that we know is the king of atlantis Poseidon. His level is level 10. That was the reason why he was held as the king of atlantis.

The moment, jacob heard of level 10, he was taken a back. Level 10 on the game that he has played before was an easy task. It was not even worth mentioning, however in this world, a level 10 would be already considered as a king? Jacobs interest to the level thing went up.

Anna: Next to him was our only princess, Princess mera, she was level 7. On top of that she was very beautiful that every warriors and nobles of the atlantis were crawling out to have her be wed.

At the nick of time, Anna was able to wrapped up everything.

Anna: Is there anything you would like to ask jacob?

Jacob : Thats it for now anna, and thank you so much.

Anna: My pleasure to help you with your shopping and feel free to visit us anytime, Jacob thank you so much too. Have a great day.

Thus Jacob was able to buy his equipment, not only that he was able to gain informations about the status and level thing on his sea of consciousness.

Jacob: So this status were given to me by the deity of water. Im level 1, not a problem.

claimed by jacob however.

Jacob: Yet of all the stats that she has given to me, it was luck?.

Pondered by jacob as he went his way out of the kingdoms gate. The kingdoms gate was just ahead of the Knights Guild Building about around 40 walks in estimated measure.

Jacob: However, Luck can also be considered as a skill. For example, this will somehow give me fruitfull encounter and basically save me from harm.

Claimed by Jacob as he continue to walk.

Jacob: Still, strength, agility and vit would be better, or even intellect.

Unknowingly to jacob he have already passed the kingdoms gate where in couple of kingdoms guard were on their daily routine.

Guard: Young man, be careful and make sure to be back before the sunsets okay?

Guard2: It seems like that young man did not to hear you friend..

Guard: Doesnt matter, he seems like he knows what he is doing. Besides, as long as he do not go deeper to that forest, there would be no problem.

Guard2: Well, youre right.

Jacob kept walking until he noticed that he is already inside the dark and shadowy forest. It is filled with towering trees and knee leveled grasses, as of right now, jacob is in the middle of a narrow path of the forest and is surrounded by tall grasses.

Holding his cooper sword on both hands, jacob felt something that moved near his feet. At that instant, with his copper sword on hands, He immediately claive it beneath him like a golf club.

To his surprise, a blood spurted out from beneath the ground and a flying head of a venomous snake pop out infront of him.

Jacob freaked out of the scene and immediately went running far from his current station.

It was his first time seeing that size of snake in his entire life, even in his previous life, he is terrified by seeing a small snake, how much more compared to a several times bigger snake which he have just seen.

The current jacob is indeed very amazing,he was like a windrunner or tazmanian devil in escape with a tears in his eyes and a wide open mouth gaping for his breath. 

On his way, he had met an even more shocking creatures like, giant undead volture which constantly attempting to bite his arse, but since jacobs luck is immeasureable he was able to dodge it well in a nick of time.

He is also chased by a mighty saber tooth, lucky enough, on his way, Jacob was able to immediately climb up a huge tree, leaving the sabertooth on the ground.

However never did he noticed that the tree he was on is filled with red venomous serpents. They then crawled on jacobs shoulder trying to say hi to their prey and when jacob heard their screeches, his body shivered in cold, Tears slowly starts to fell on both of his eyes and once again, the mighty jacob freaked out.

Jacob:!!!!

As fast as the bolt of lightning, jacob throws the venomous serpents towards the sabertooth beneath him. He then immediately jump and dashed away.

Left alone, dozens of red venomous serpents begun attacking the sabertooth mercilessly unto its death. On the other hand, due to his severe panic, jacob swiftly escaped and reached a nearby cliff. His energy have immedieatly dried up from the constant escape. It was an extreme survival exercise for jacob and he is not used to it. Even superman would be tired from such escape.

Thus, he sat down for awhile and observed the majestic view of the scene infront of him.

Below the cliff, was another shadowy forest an even more denser shadowy forest compared to the forest behind him.

On the far north of it was A Mountain covered with lightning clouds while on its side was a majestic purple sky. This view have somehow made jacob feel at ease.

Jacob: I have no idea that even the sky itself could be coloured in purple. But that escape is indeed tiring, i never expected those monsters to chase the hell out of me. Still i am able to escape from them. Ill just enjoy the scenery for now.

Because of such granduer, jacob was able to stabilize his heart and was able to calm down. For an insence of candle, jacob remained sitting on the grassy open dead end cliff, watching the majestic purple sky in front of him.

Beneath those purple sky was another majestic view and even more surprising view for jacob.

Jacob: What a huge Replica Statue of King Kong.

Never did he noticed that it was a real life, humongous monkey king. Jacob is indeed one of a kind individual, for that time too beneath him and the cliff was also a giant snake head several hundred times larger than the previous snake that he had encounter, waiting for his prey.

At that crucial moment of time, jacob was called out by the nature to release his urine. Thus he liesurely released it out like a warm water from the keetle. Unknown to him, the exact parabolic curve where his tea water fall landed on the exact circumference of the giant mouth of the humungous python. This giant and massive python was alerted due to his urine and sensed out his upcoming prey, and Just at the nick of time, the moment jacob retrieve his treasure pole back, The giant python head rose up biting up the humungous falcon that was flying above jacob with a big crunch.

Sfx: CRUNCH!!

Jacob: !!!!!

 Caught up by the great assault, and seeing for the first time a massive size head and neck of a python, jacob freaked out.

Jacob: ..I dont want to die.

The giant head of the python then slowly landed down after devouring such a great feast, and as it lower its head its eyes suddenly met up with the petrified jacob.

In normal circumstances when you are in a jungle and is caught by the eye of an anaconda, ofcourse you will immediately went nuts. This is what happened to jacob. He immedieately took the cooper sword and throw it like a craze person towards the massive eye of the giant snake.

Jacob: HELP ME!!!!

Unknown to jacob the sword flew out in a very sharp pattern, hitting the retina of the massive python piercing it straight, moving even more deeper, reaching the snakes brain, and just exactly to that moment, the sword cuts a small portion of the snakes brain. The giant snake once again raised up its head roaring out trying to retaliate from its predicament, however, in its current state it's helpless, the blade inside its head went even more deeper causing it to be injured even further. 

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Eventually the small copper sword travelled even more deeper mercilessly. Jacob wants to escape, but  both of his feet are stuck on the ground and is tired enough to stand, it is also shaking greatly making him unable to find his balance.  Little while later, the massive snake stopped moving and fell dead landing its massive head besides jacob. Brain is one of the most sensitive organ of ones body, once injured, it will stop your body movement and eventually caused you death.  

Like a massive log which fell down right infront of jacobs feet. A loud stomp echoed. The massive snake is dead.

Once more, this situation made jacob freak out.

Jacob: AH!!!!!! get away from me, get Away from me !! GET AWAY FROM ME!!

and with his knife, a great barrage of multiple stabbed from jacobs knife was executed by him to the dead pythons head. Though its meaningless because it was already slained, still, because jacob is on an uncontrollable state, bloods spurted out from the snakes head and several fountain of blood appear.

JacobSad [https://www.royalroadcdn.com/public/smilies/sad.png] GET AWAY FROM ME!! 10X)

After a long period of time, unable to free himself from the massive dead python, our hero, jacob springer, finally fainted out, covered and drenched with the stinky blood of the humungous red python while unconsciously yelling.

Jacob: I dont want to die.

Meanwhile in a very far place of the ancient earth. A deity with a crystal ball was monitoring jacobs actions.

Deity: What an interesting cowardly fellow.

This deity is none other than the deity of time.
