I look at Sev.

“Is this… how?”

Sev is smiling.

“It seems that my master gave you a special gift. As compensation for the trouble. Even for myself as an admin have no idea about this.”

I’m staring at my status screen and look at her.

“Is this really alright? Are you not going to fix it?”

Sev shakes her head.

“If it is my master’s will, then I would not dare to do anything with it. Please accept it.”

100 extra points are equal to level 100. I’m reluctant to use these extra points but if what she said is true. I guess I won’t waste it and accept it. But I won’t use it now. I have plans for this. She’s looking at me and smiles

“I think there is nothing else to do here for you. Very well then. Now, you can enter The Orion, Trevor. I wish for your happiness and success in The Orion. May the Betelgeuse bless you, farewell…”

Sev snaps her fingers and she teleports me to The Orion.

I’m back to the tutorial map. Sarkh Village. It’s been a while. Everything looks the same. I look around and so many new players are talking with their friends. Everyone is enjoying the scenery. I’m about to open my inventory to grab the weapon of my choice when I started playing this game. A short sword and the breaded ax, but someone approaches me.

“You’re back!”

I turn around and it’s Kalman, the Village chief. I raise my eyebrow because I’m surprised and confused at the same time. This NPC is supposed to be for quest tester. Some of the players are looking at me with confusion. I can hear them talking.

“Did that NPC just approached him? Is that a quest NPC?”

“I don’t know, this is my first time playing here.”

It seems I attract some attention. I look at Kalman.

“Yes, is there anything you need from me?”

Kalman nods.

“Of course, would you like to come with me?”

I nod and follow him to the pub. He sits at the same spot from last time. He is looking at me and giving me Health Potion (E). It’s different from last time, he was giving me an (F) grade and now he’s giving me an (E) grade. He leans forward.

“The dire wolves are getting stronger! This time, I need you to kill 50 of them. The rewards will be 1000 EXP and 10 silver coins.”

I’m tapping the table.

“The same spot as last time?”

Kalman nods.

“Yes! Please, adventurer. Help us!”

I nod.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

Kalman bows to show his gratitude. Then I leave the pub and on my way to the southern part of Sarkh Village. I look up at the sky and smile.

“You did all this just for me, Becker? If so, I’ll use this opportunity to be the best player in here.”

I’m at the southern gate. I remember that Becker said when we left the gate, the game teleported us to a different map. So I slowly walk towards the gate and when I’m passing the gate, I can feel a slight change of the map. I take a deep breath and exhale deeply. I’m grinning.

“It’s time to abuse this system!”

I’m walking into the woods and I open my inventory. There are three kinds of potions inside.

[Max Health Potion (S): Fully recover the player’s health. (30.000)]

[Max Stamina Potion (S): Fully recover the player’s stamina. (30.000)]

[Lucky Potion (U): LUK +300. Duration 30 minutes. (30.000)]

I fall to the ground with disbelief. I scoff.

“Are you crazy, Becker?! It feels like I’m using a cheat with these.”

Max Health Potion is the hardest potion to create. It requires a lot of effort. To create 1 Max Health Potion (F) recipe alone, need to make 100 Health Potion (S). To make 1 Health Potion (S) recipe, need to make 100 Health Potion (A) and so on. The requirements to make the potion is pretty simple. 10 Health Potion (x) grades are needed to make 1 Health Potion (x+1) grade. Right now, there’s only one person who can create Health Potion (A). He sold them for $10 each. It the same for Max Stamina Potion.

The one I’m curious about is this [Lucky Potion (U)]. I know that (U) stands for Unique. Unique can be created if the player has a very very high LUK stat with a small chance to create a Unique grade. The one I’m curious about is the potion itself. I never heard about it nor saw it. Becker didn’t tell me about this either.

I grab one of the [Lucky Potion (U)] and drink it. I look at my stat and right now, my LUK is 2+600 since this week’s event is double valuing our status. I’m really fortunate to have this event and this potion. I grab the short sword and the breaded ax and start abusing the system.

12 days later in-game time after grinding and abusing the system.

“Open Status.”

I used 576 [Lucky Potion (U)] for this. My heart is aching because I wasted a lot of them just for this. I got [Dire Wolf’s Soul Essence (12)] and I consumed them immediately. I’m exhausted and on my way back to the village to get something to eat. I see different players every day. The players that were starting the game with me 12 days ago should be on their way to the Orion Empires or Alliance Kingdoms.

I’m at the merchant guild and sell all the miscellaneous items that I got from killing dire wolves. It’s funny how the NPC can remember my selling history and every time I approached them, they immediately asked for it. Then I go to the pub to eat. I envy all the players who are playing with their friends, they all seem to enjoy the game a lot more compared to me. I wish I have some to play with. I look at the time and it’s 8 p.m. in real life. I should log out and rest for today.

“Log Out.”

I open my eyes and my head is spinning so badly that I have to lay down on the floor for quite a while.

“I hate when this happens…”

I get up and wash my face. Then change my clothes and go outside to buy dinner. I start the car and go to my favorite restaurant.

I park my car on the side of the road. I walk across the road to go to the restaurant. I open the door and the owner waves his hand.

“The usual, Trev?”

I nod.

“Yes, sir! Can you add more portion of the meat?”

He laughs.

“Only if you pay extra for that.”

I chuckle.

“Yes, of course. I’m starving.”

He nods and immediately cooks the food. I look around and I’m putting my hands on the pockets since it’s so cold right now. A jingling sound on the restaurant door. I look at the door and a purple-haired woman wearing a brown leather mantle and black thigh-high boots. She’s smiling at me and sits beside me. She leans into my ear.

“Wanna play with me, baby?”

I shake my head and look at her.

“I’m not interested and never will. What are you doing at this hour, Emma?”

She slaps my back and spins around on the chair and stops when facing me.

“The new girl couldn’t handle the guest and quit. So I’m here to replace her. Before that, I need something to eat!”

I’m humming with understanding.

“Sir, please make it double. Emma is starving as well.”

The owner is looking at us and nods.

“You got it, Trev!”

Emma wraps her arm around me and kisses my cheek.

“Thanks, babe.”

I pour the cold beer into the glass and take a sip. I wipe my lips.

“Want me to drive you there, Emma?”

Emma’s eyes are glimmering.

“Yes! It’s so cold today and I was planning on not going to work.”

We both are having a good time while enjoying our food. After I pay for the food, Emma and I are on our way to her workplace. She’s putting on her make-up and checking her clothes. She’s humming a song and look at me.

“Hey, Trev. My friends are interested in you. Do you want to have a date with them?”

I look at her.

“Them?”

Emma nods.

“Yeah two of them. They don’t mind sharing. Maybe if you’re lucky, you will get some action. I can join as well if you want to.”

Emma bites her lips and winks at me. I shake my head

“Nah, I still don’t want to be in a relationship right now.”

Emma is booing me. She rests her chin on her hand.

“Shame, you’re almost in your mid-thirties. Your handsome face will fade away.”

I chuckle and stop the car.

“I don’t care. We are here. Get off from the car.”

Emma chuckles and hugs me then kisses my cheek.

“Thanks for the ride!”

When she gets out of the car she approaches me and standing beside my door and rests his arms on the door.

“I gave you dozens of free lap dance tickets and you still haven’t used them. How about you use it now?”

I smirk.

“No thanks! I’m tired and want to go to sleep. Now go.”

Emma laughs and waves at me while walking inside the building.

I went home and hit the bed immediately.
