Legend of the Ancient Myth

”Worthy of calling it the gaming industry masterpiece ” looking at the villagers walking around him and the kids playing, everything looked no different than the real world.

Especially when he saw how everyone was looking at him appearing out of nowhere which scared some kids who kept looking at him with some fear and amazement. However since it happened many times already the villagers started getting used to it.

Tony pressed on his player avatar to check it out and it displayed his current attributes, in the Ancient Myth there are five attributes each that govern an area.

*Strength: Strength increases Physical Attack Power and the weight behind each attack.

*Agility: measures Dexterity, reflexes, and balance Attack Speed and Movement Speed.

*Constitution: measures endurance, health, stamina, and vital force.

*Vitality: Vitality increases the recovery rate of MP and HP

*Intelligence: increases Magical Attack Power and maximum MP

After he understood it and distributed the beginning 15 basic attributes his avatar became complete.

An elderly man suddenly approached him respectfully. ”Young hero welcome to our humble village. If you can visit our leader it will be an honor ” Tony saw that many looked at the elderly with respect which indicated that he has some status here.

”Well, I very much like to meet your leader so lead the way grandpa ” although it was just a game because of the realistic effects he treated him with respect like he does in the real world.

”System notification: congratulations elder Isaac favoritism of you increased by 30 points ” the voice of the system surprised him, the elderly now looked at him as if he was part of their village while a gray mark above his head became green he even escorted him personally which shocked the other players since the old man only told them to visit the leader before stop talking.

While they are walking to the center of the village ”So grandpa Isaac is there anything I should put in mind while Im here ”

”Well our village is as simple as any village out there, we got some problems that we found no solution for like in the tavern and the herb hall ”

”System notification you have a quest: head to the tavern ”

”System notification you have a quest: go to the herb hall ”

”My luck is on roll ” Tony was happy with getting two quests in important places.

Isaac suddenly came closer to him and whispered ”what Im going to tell you is a secret only I and the village leader know so don disclose it, inside the village, we have two important people that are living in retirement one of them is the dojo owner we call him elder Hawk and the other is the blacksmith who used to be a big shot in the empire some times ago, so if you can have some relationship with them it will be a great help to you but don say that I told you ” elder Isaac piece of information was what Tony wanted to hear the most.

”One will help me with equipment while the other will be where I learn some skills ” Tony started planning his next step to dominate the world.

While Tony was meeting with the village leader who was telling him about some quests and other stuff, the world was in a huge uproar because of the realistic effects and the way the game has broken all of their understanding about the gaming world because of that a phrase started circling in the industry about the Ancient Myth and it said: everything you can do in the real world you can do it here, everything you can do in the real world you still can do it in the Ancient Myth.

This drove many more to pay attention to it.

Inside the game, there was no place you go and you don see players Storming it, some are asking for quests while some are going outside to hunt for monsters, some idiots tried to steal from the villagers but got taken to jail because all the guard there are level 10 which makes it hard to do anything funny unless you have some godly skills.

Tony after having a conversation with the village leader and taking a tour through the village and visiting the tavern and the herb hall he ended up with 7 quests

”Quast 1: D rank: kill the rats in the tavern basement, rewards: 30 exp, 45 bronze, and a special reward ”

”Quest 2: C rank: the villagers who pick herb outside are being harassed by monsters, follow them and kill the monster, rewards: 70 exp, 55 bronze, and some potions ”

”Quest 3: E rank: bring back a healing herb for a sick lady, rewards: unknown ”

”Quest 4: B rank: investigate the cause of the villagers sickness, rewards unknown ”

The rest were unranked quests so Tony didn bother with them, he only accepted four that interested him, especially the last one which was hinted at to him by the oldest person in the village, and probably it will give him a nice surprise.

But all this was for the future because right now he was in the dojo meeting the famous sir Hawk that teaches basic skills for the villagers.

”Good morning to you sir Hawk Im Mad Demon and I would love if you teach me some skills that will make my survival chance outside rise ” all masters don like a hasty youngster and the moment his eye met the instructor Tony knew that he was the real deal, so he humbled himself and asked respectfully.

”System notification congratulations instructor Hawk impression of you raised by 20 points ” this was what Tony waited for

”Not bad its hard to come across a good seedling like you these days, ” said the instructor while stroking his bird ”well Im not against teaching you something but first show me what you got ” if other players saw this they will be stunned because many came before him and asked the same thing yet the instructor ignored all of them, no matter how much they bagged.

The moment Tony took the center it was as if he became another person, calm, collected, and cold this was the emotions that the instructor picked from him and his interest in this visitor reached a new high ”what a terrifying youngster ” this was his opinion on him especially when he saw him starting kicking and punching, this was what Tony was known and feared for his absolute control over his body and strength, not wasting or doing any unnecessary movements.

”System notification congratulations sir Hawks impression of you increased by 50 points ” the moment he completed his routine the instructor started clapping ”wonderful I never thought a random youngster like yourself will be such a genius ” he looked at Tony as if he saw the rarest gem in the world.

”Even in the empires talented people like you are rare so don spend too much time here and go to better places and bigger stages that should be your destination ”

After he gave him some bits of advice he asked him to watch as he was going to teach him a skill but the moment the instructor started his display Tony entered a mysterious state as he suddenly brandished his sword and started swinging it irregularly and in a unique way.

The moment this started that sir Hawk stopped and watched every move Tony was doing

”This kid is something else to enter an enlightenment state that easily makes even me jealous of him ” he then looked at the sword ”also this sword I can see through it even though its unranked ” looking at Tony whos form started taking shape sir Hawk eyes became determined.

”If the skill he created is a high tier I will interest him with my mission ”

Tony at that moment was having a strange feeling it was like half awake and half dreaming, but his thoughts were becoming clearer each passing moment when he suddenly stopped then accelerated and slashed two times with a high speed that looked like he only slashed one time

”Ding ding ding congratulations for creating a skill, rewarding: +3 all attributes, 10 silver, and mysterious nickels ”

”System notification congratulations for being the first player who created a skill, rewarding: level +1, 10 silver and the swift boots ”

”System notification congratulations for creating a skill at level 0, rewarding: 20 silver, +1 level and a skill related to your class ”

”Ding ding ding system notification: because of your strong will your hidden attribute conscious is raised by 2 points ”

”System notification: being the first player who raised one of his hidden attribute rewarding: +3 for all your hidden attributes ”

The amount of notification he got at the moment made him slightly dazed, especially the rewards which made him almost start to dance.

”What a wonderful surprise who would have thought that this little trip would have to turn out to be an amazing encounter ”

”Ding ding ding system notification: please name the skill you created ”

He chose the name Double slash for it
