Chapter 39: Pursuer of Corruption

....

At the Entrance of the 'Dark Swamp Map', a group of 20 Players were killing off a bunch of 'Dark Swamp Monsters', while also looking for someone.

The Levels of these Players varies from Level 50 as the lowest while Level 55 on the highest. Their equipments were not that bad, most of them have a full set of Bronze Rank items, while others even have a full set silver equipments. These players also wearing assorted kinds of emblems on their chest.

For ordinary players, this team can already be treated as a strong group, but for the real Powerhouse Guilds they are just a bunch of players in the commodity, for they are from the subordinate guilds of the 'HeadHunter Guild', and are task to hunt Shin down.

An 'Archer Blood Elf' of the group walked towards a 'Spell Caster Naga' that looks like the Leader of the team, and whispered some words. "Captain, are you sure we can find that guy here? Why in the world, did that guy continue farming here if he knows that we are aware of him wearing a 'Dark Swamp Set'? If it were me, then I will doubt it."

The Spell Caster Naga give him a sideeye glance before saying. "Do you think I'm an idi*t? Of course I know about that! But what can I do? It is an order from the upper-echelons, so focus on your job and continue searching him!" They then resume on their task.

*****

Meanwhile, the man in question is busy dealing with a Snakeman.

Shin is rapidly circling around the Snakeman, and while doing it, he is throwing some attacks in the process.

His movements looks a little more flawless this time than he was before. It is because he become more comfortable with his body, and also because his current body can now keep up with his mind a little.

Hisss....

Shin use a 'Hell Execution' killing off the Snakeman, and it is also the the final guardian. During his fight against the guardians, Shin manage to become more familiar with his new fighting style, which is also the reason why he improved drastically. The only downside on it, is that he didn't get any EXP in the process or even some item drops.

And when the final guardian transformed into particles of crimson lights, the hoarse voice that came from the statue at the center of the altar and pentagram started to resonated once again.

Roar!!!

"You foolish descendant of 'Zheptus'! since you are really eager to die, then I will grant your wish. I will make sure the you will regret preventing my decent on this world!!!"

After that, all the crimson lights inside the altar were absorbed by the statue. Then the statue pass it towards the body of the Village Chief, causing for it to mutate.

The body of the Village Chief creepily stand like some possessed human from horror movies. Then its body started to change at a visible rate. Its arms and legs become thicker while its head transformed into a tiger's head.

And while it is happening, Shin wants to stop the process but some sort of energy prevent him from moving. So all he can do is watch it happen while using his 'Scouting' skill.

"Hmmm.... It have a high Attack Power but the Defense is still manageable. The only problem should be its other stats, since Level 75 is a major turning point in this game. Another one are the surprise factor of those unknown skills." Shin is getting ready himself as he take a look the details of his new opponent.

After few seconds of waiting, the mutation process were finally done. The previous Village Chief become a mini-version of the statue, aside from the wings, since this one don't have any.

The Avatar Demon look at Shin before sneering at him. "Heh, You should brace yourself now descendant of 'Zheptus'. For you will regret getting on my way."

"A talking monster? This one should have a High AI if that is the case, well is talking from the start after all. And I guess this one is going to become bloody fight." Shin is knitting his brows while sheathing his sword. He then take his battle stance, bracing himself for what's about to happen.

Shin is looking at the Avatar Demon when he felt a dangerous feeling coming from behind. Then his pupils contracted when he see that the figure he is looking at is starting to fade away. "An afterimage! Sh*t!"

He hurriedly lean his body forward while moving the sword sheath backwards and in an upward motion, trying to block something.

Bang!

-10 800

Shin is manage to block the attack, but he is still received some damage because he failed to respond on it correctly, and it caused him to lose 1/6 of his HP. He is also sent flying by that attack.

"This thing manage to bypassed my Perception Range? Tsk, If not for my 'Immediate Response', I'll received a more terrifying damage from that attack." muttered Shin to himself while looking at the Avatar Demon cautiously.

The Avatar Demon didn't give Shin more breathing time, and its figure blurred once again. But this time, Shin is already on his guard.

Swoosh!

Bang!

Shin crouches down barely dodging a kick from his back. And when he felt a gusting air pass through over his head, he did a hop-step backwards, avoiding an Axe-kick coming from above.

And when his feet touches the ground, he immediately jump forward while throwing a roundhouse kick towards the Avatar Demon that suddenly materialize on his front.

'Equipment Skill: Paralysis Bite'

Pa!

Shin's kick successfully landed on the Avatar Demon, immobilizing it for five seconds. Shin is still on the spin because of the momentum of that kick, and once his body faces the Avatar Demon once again, he hurriedly pulled the [Yamato] out from its sheath midair before slashing it towards his opponent.

Shing!

'Self-Created Skill: Quick Draw'

-63 208

-3 160(Burned Damage)

Bloods were thrown splashing in the air, together with the resonating metallic sound caused by the sword drawing.

And at this time, Shin's feet finally landed on the ground. But Shin's assault didn't stop, he enfold his sword with the power of the Sun before throwing a diagonal slash, sending a blazing sword 'Qi'.

'Extra Skill: Flame Burst'

- 13 764

-688(Burned Damage)

After that is another kind of energy channel through the sword, but this time it is in bluish-white color. Then, Shin throw a horizontal slash, sending a crescent shape chilling sword 'Qi'.

'Slayer Skill: Half-Moon Slash'

-15 572(Slowed)

-319(Burning Damage)

Bang!

-10 898

The Avatar Demon received another extra damage, because of the contradicting temperatures, which is also catch Shin a little off guard. But that didn't stop him from continuing his attacking spree.

His body glows with a purple light before he draws a purple cross in the air, as if there is some kind of invisible sheet of paper on it. After that, that very cross charge towards the Avatar Demon with a great speed.

'Self-Created Skill: Eclipse Cross'

-49 680

-4 968(Mix Damage)

-319(Burning Damage)

In less than 5 seconds, Shin already dealt more than 100 000 total damage, causing for the Avatar Demon to forcefully get out from that immobilized state.

Roar!!!

It release a deafening roar, before charging at Shin while throwing a powerful straight punch in the process.

But too bad for it, Shin dodge that attack in an effortless manner. He do a diagonal sidestep forward while throwing a horizontal slash in the process. Then, he quickly turned around to throw another two consecutive slashes at the back of the Avatar Demon, this is another execution of his first Self-Created skill.

'Self-Created Skill: Triple Slash'

-1 508

-75(Burned Damage)

-4 809

Another bunch of damages pop-up on top of the monster head, making it even more ferocious. It hurriedly turned around to teach its opponent a lesson, but what greeted it are 5 vertical crescent-shaped sword wave.

'Slayer Skill: Crescent Cleave'

-18 568(Slowed)

-20 452(Slowed)(Critical)

-18 289(Slowed)

Three of the sword waves manage to land of the Avatar Demon, because it is cast in an almost pointblank distance.

Shin then thrust his sword forward, piercing it to the Avatar Demon's chest and stunning it for a second.

'Extra Skill: Charge'

-2 937(Stunned)

-147(Burned Damage)

He then immediately pulled that sword out after, and slash it down with a powerful diagonal strike, stunning the Avatar Demon again with additional two seconds.

'Extra Skill: Destructive Slash'

-3 543(Stunned)

-177(Burned Damage)

Shin licked his lips after that, it is as if he is enjoying his continues assault against this Avatar Demon. He then enfold his sword with a fiery aura before throwing a horizontal cut followed by a powerful vertical slash.

'Slayer Skill: Solar Cut'

-15 384

-769(Burned Damage)

'Slayer Skill: Hell Execution'

-25 389(Critical)

-1 269(Burned Damage)

After that entire skill rotation, Shin swiftly followed it up with a powerful flash kick towards the Avatar Demon's chin.

'Equipment Skill: Paralysis Bite'

Pa!

Roar!!!

But the Avatar Demon didn't get immobilized, instead it release a loud roar before jumping towards Shin with an incredible speed.

But too bad for it, the man in question swiftly sheath his sword in a calm manner midair, before dashing forward while turning his body into a bluish-white light, and piercing through the Avatar Demon's body.

'Self-Created Skill: Moonlight Splitter'

-50 999 (Critical!!!)

And because of all of that cycle, Shin runs out of offensive skills. But some of them are about to be cooldowned.

Then, Shin planned to fight the Avatar Demon with his basic attacks for the time being, while also waiting for some of his skills to become available. But before that truly happened, Shin wake up from his future plans and have been brought back to the reality by the Avatar Demon.

The Avatar Demon dashes towards Shin with an even more terrifying speed, and together with a powerful punch in tow.

Swoosh!

Miss!!!

Shin is force to use his 'Moonlight Steps' to dodge that sudden attack. He pass through the Avatar Demon's body before dashing forward to gain some breathing space. But moment he turn his head around to take a look at Avatar Demon, he is greeted by an incoming fist straight to his face.

Bang!!!

-20 489

Swoosh!

Shin manage block that fist by raising his hand in front of his face while holding the sword-sheath in a reverse handgrip manner. But even though it is the case, he is still send flying backwards and receive a damage that ripped off a third of his total HP.

And while Shin is in midair, the Avatar Demon also jumped in the air before descending towards Shin's direction while throwing a hammer fist in the process.

Shin force his body to flipped in the air before forcing himself to land on the ground.

Tsss...

Tsss...

Shin slide backwards the moment his feet touches the ground. And during that slide, he formed a purple sphere around him using the combined powers of The Sun and The Moon.

'Slayer Skill: Eclipse Pulse'

Boom!!!

The barrier around Shin trembled violently because of the impact, but nothing else happened after that. Meanwhile, Shin seize that opportunity to drink some 'Health Potion' to recover some of his HP.

Huuu~...

Shin took a quick deep breath while muttering to himself regarding the lesson that he just learned. "So I still lacking a lot of offensive skills. I guess I need to learn a lot more of it when I return back to the City. Or maybe I should find some time to create some of them."

Then the fierce battle resumes. And that entire fight last for at least 15 minute. It looks a little short, but not that long either. And that span of time become a bloody one for Shin. Because he almost died many times during the process, but he still manage to find some unimaginable ways to survived until the end.

Huff... Huff...

Shin is catching his breath while looking at the Avatar Demon that is laying down beside his feet. He is also pointing his sword towards it.

The Avatar Demon still has some breath left, so it look at Shin before mockingly say. "I didn't expect that the current descendants of the Heroes of that time manage to become this strong. But if you think that all of you can prevent us from coming back on this world, then all of you are truly mistaken. Hahaha...."

"Tsk, you are talking too much for someone who is about to be send to where you belong." Shin finally can't take the blabbering and swing his sword down, ripping off the last straw of life of that Avatar Demon.

Then a golden light enfolded Shin, signifying that he Leveled Up, and that is not only one but 5 consecutive level ups. Then a system notification ring on his ears, informing him that he have successfully cleared his quest.

*Ding!*

"Whoa~, This title sounds a little badass, and it have some strong attributes. Especially that 'Rights from Corruption, with this I can have one more extra pet." muttered Shin while checking his quest rewards. "Now, I can have my own goldmine if I use this Village advantages more properly. Hmm.. And I also need to promote this Village to other players for it to become popular."

Shin is thinking on what he will do next, when a sudden thought enters his mind. "Wait! Popular? Promote? Didn't those people from the subordinate guilds of the 'HeadHunter Guild' are looking for me in the vicinity of the 'Dark Swamp Map'. Heh... " He then formed a mysterious grin with his lips, as if his simple idea suddenly turned into a well thought plan.

And while he is thinking about all of that, the 10-meter statue at the center of the altar started to formed cracks on its surface before crumbling down completely.

Shin's attention is attracted to it because of the sound. Then his eyes become absorb at shining items at the bottom of the crumbling statue, which also make his eyes to become wide and almost fall down from its sockets.

....


Chapter 40: Suddenly Becoming A Millionaire

...

Shin walked out the City Administration Building with a blank explosion on his face. He can't help but to remember his exchange with administration clerk inside the building.

"Ahm... I want to register a Basic Village under my name."

"Good day Sir. All you have to do is submit your deed of right and pay a registration fee of 30,000 gold coins. But since you are a 'Pursuer of Corruption' you will receive a 30% discount, and that will be a total of 21,000 gold coins sir. And 2,000 gold coins for the TAX fee every month."

"Huh!? Can you say how much the total value again?"

"A total of 21,000 gold coins Sir."

"Can I pay it through installments?"

"Of course Sir, but that will have additional 2,000 gold coins sir and require a down payment of 10,000 gold coins Sir."

"Ahm... Eh... Can I come back later? I need to prepare the required money for the time being."

"That will be no problem Sir."

Haa~ Huuu~

Shin took a deep breath while looking at the sky. "What the!? I need to pay 21,000 gold coins just to register a Basic Village? That was 2,100,000 FC in the Real World!!! It is more expensive than my VR-Gaming Helmet. Where that hell will I get that money from? What's worse is I need to earn it as soon as possible or else other players will discover about the Calderock Village, and snatch it from me."

Shin leaned on the wall before saying to himself. "I guess I have no choice but to sell all the items that I've got so far as fast as possible. But I need some buyer that will not scam me, since I'm still not familiar with the exchange here inside the game".

Shin manage to complete the {Ruler's Equipment Set}, which make him become even more stronger because of the unlocked Set Effect. He got the last 2 pieces of the set in the altar below the crumbled statue. And together with those, Shin also got some additional bonus rewards.

He open his inventory window to take a look at his final loots inside that cave altar.

The moment Shin saw the details of the OP pets, he didn't waste any time and directly initiated a soul contract to take them as his pets. He named the white one as "Whitie" and the black one as "Blackie".

"Hmm... I hope I can earn a lot of gold by selling the bear cub and this flask containing the [Demonic Saint Tiger's Blood]". muttered Shin as his is considering on how he will sell those.

What Shin didn't know is those things are very much more valuable than money, especially the [Demonic Saint Tiger's Blood]. Well that was understandable, since Shin is still new in the game and not aware of the market value of those two, same goes for the other items inside his inventory space.

After some deliberation on himself, Shin decided to a call Lawless who is more familiar than him of this game. If he know how to contact Arthur then he will call his brother instead.

After few rings, Lawless finally answered the call. And the moment he do, he immediately greeted Shin in some unusual way. " Yoh! Brother Sickarius, already on the back foot? Want this brother to fetch you up?"

The moment Shin heard that, the corner of his mouth twitch. "Are you that happy for me being hunted down by those guys?"

"Hahaha.... I'm just asking OK? don't get fired up. Anyway why did you call?" said Lawless.

'Is it the right thing to ask this guy's opinion?' thought Shin for a moment before finally stating his purpose. "I want to sell some stuffs, so I need your help about it since I'm in urgent of money."

"Oh? Easy.... Just send me the details of those and I will estimate the market value. And if you are that urgent, then you can send all of them in my inventory mail so that I can sell it. And we can also sign a virtual contract if you don't trust me." replied Lawless nonchalantly.

Shin directly send all the details of the items that he want to sell aside from the bear cub and the flask containing blood.

"Whoa! That was quite many, did you robbed a Treasury or something? OK, Just give me a moment." Lawless browse all the items for entire two minutes before giving his estimated value. "All of those are quite uncommon in the market since there are not many players farming in the dark swamp, but my estimated value on these are in between of 10,000 to 15,000 gold in total."

Shin face brighten when he heard that. He didn't expect that he already earned that many.

"Really!? Then can you help me sell those? I'll give you 2% commission . No, 3% deal?" Asked Shin excitedly.

"Hmm... OK but it will take some time to sell all of those. And I also recommend you to not sell those skill books since you can trade them with skills that are more suitable for you. After all, I've excluded them on my estimation." said Lawless before gulping an entire mug of beer.

"Is that so... Then fine, but how much time did you need to sell all of them?" asked Shin in an a little anxious manner.

Lawless thought for a moment before replying. "If you really urgently need the money, then I can pay you for all of those items first. Then I'll give you the extra when I'm done selling all of them."

"DEAL!!!" said Shin without slightest bit of hesitation. Then Shin send all of his items to Lawless while he received 13,000 gold coin in return.

Lawless is about to end the call when Shin added something after some hesitation. "Ahm... Brother Lawless, one more thing. How much did you think will this guy cost." Then Shin show the details of the 'Black Iron Dusk Bear' pet.

"Ah! An EPIC PET!!! Where in the hell did you get that guy? That is something that can't easily buy with money! Especially with that kind of high growth rate!!! Are you sure you want to sell that little guy? How about take it as you pet?" Lawless mouth opened rapidly like some sort of machine-gun.

'Maybe this guy will die because of heart attack, if he discovered that I have a pair of Legendary pets with a worshipping growth rate of 110.' thought Shin in his mind before replying. "Nah, this guy is not suitable for my fighting style. But it is perfect for Magical Class type."

"Hmm... You are also right about that. Well... If that is the case then wait for a moment, I'll contact a friend of mine if he is interested with this guy. I'm pretty sure that this guy is perfect for their Class and Fighting Style." after saying that, Lawless immediately ended the call, not giving Shin any time to react.

Shin find a corner to sit while waiting for Lawless to contact him. And while he is on it, he open an online forum to get more idea on how did his stuff cost. "Eh!? All of those Bronze Rank items cost 300-500 gold? While silver equips are varies from 1000-3000 gold? Then how much are Gold Rank items? What!? It cost 5000 golds on the lowest!? I can't imagine how much the higher rank items."

"Hmm.... Then how much are the 'basic enchantment stones' that I've used? What the hell? It cost 9000 gold coins each? I've burned that much money just to upgrade my weapon to Silver Rank? I can already buy three kinds of Gold Rank Equipments with that!" Shin can't take the blow caused by the informations that he got from the forums.

He then take a deep breath to calm himself down. "Huu~.... OK. What's done is done. Now let's see how much can I sell the bear cub."

But when he saw the estimated market value of pets, it almost shocked him to death. "Oh Mother Holy!!! Are you kidding me!!!??? A 'Common Pet' cost 25,000 gold coins? And that is only for pets that have 30 growth rate at most. I can't imagine how much this little guy cost!"

Shin is not fully aware of the advantages of having a pet. Having a pet in this game is the same as having an ally, that can almost rival a player. Especially with those high growth rate.

And while Shin is in that state, the call that he is waiting finally come. Shin anxiously and excitedly answer the call.

And when the call connected, Lawless appeared on the virtual screen with a wide grin on his face. "Hey Brat! I don't know how and where the hell did you get that little bear cub, but you really hit a jackpot this time!!! My friend said that he is going buy it no matter what. And as for the cost, it is better for you to hear about it yourself. Come here at the 'Heavenly Resto-Bar', VIP Room 7, we will be waiting for you here." Then Lawless immediately ended the call, not caring about Shin's reaction.

Meanwhile, Shin is starting blankly at the air after that call. Then, he finally come back to his senses after few moments. After that, he run towards the 'Heavenly Resto-Bar' with an exited face.

*****

Heavenly Resto-Bar, VIP Room 7.

They are four players sitting inside the room, 3 males and 1 female. The three men are a 'Berserker TigerKin', a 'Twilight Dark Elf', and a 'Aquamancer Naga' respectively. Meanwhile, the female one is a 'Elementalist White Elf', sitting beside the 'Aquamancer Naga' and across the other two.

The level of the TigerKin is Level 77 being the lowest, while the other three are similarly around ten levels higher than him. Their equipments are quite high in quality for Platinum Ranks are the lowest. All of them are also Tier 2 in classes. The identity of this group is Lawless and his friends.

"Hahaha.... Ravier, you are quite lucky to have as a friend. See? I have connections with reliable people." said Lawless before gulping down an entire mug of beer.

The 'Aquamancer Naga' named 'Ravier' rolled his eyes at Lawless before saying. "What are you talking about? It was just a coincidence for that guy to have an Epic Pet like that. And he should be the one that got Lucky to stumbled upon that bear cub."

Lawless clicked his tounge before putting down the mug of beer. "Tsk, what's wrong with that? He is still my friend, which also count as me being Lucky. And you are my friend, so that luck will also be pass down onto you."

Lawless and Ravier are keep bickering with each other after that. On the other hand, the Elementalist girl is named 'Ember'. She is giggling on the side while watching the two. Meanwhile, Faker is still playing with his daggers not caring about what's happening.

Knock. Knock.

Few moments later, a knock sound from the door of the room. Lawless stopped bothering himself with Ravier, before smirking and shouting at the person outside the room. "Speak of the Devil. Hey! Brother Sickarius, just enter the room. We are already waiting for you for quite some time already!"

The door opened up carefully after, then Shin entered in a slow manner. After that, he take a look at the people inside the room before greeting them one by one. Next, he find a place that he can sit on.

"OK, let's go straight to the point." Ravier immediately opened his mouth the moment Shin taken his seat.

'Straightforward Huh? But I also like that.' thought Shin before nodding his head.

"Great!" Ravier raise a finger with his left hand while saying. "One Hundred. That is the price that I can offer for that bear cub." He pause for a moment before clarifying himself. "One Hundred Thousand gold coins. What do you think?"

Shin stared blankly at Ravier fingers as if he suddenly become dumb because of what he have heard. 'One Hundred Thousand gold coins? That is equivalent to 10 Million FC in the Real World!!!'

Ravier is mistaken Shin's behavior as being not satisfied with the price, so clicked his tounge before raising his other hand with five fingers open. "Tsk, OK Fine! 150k That is the maximum that I can offer. Take it or Leave it? Deal or No Deal?"

'Eh!?' Shin don't know how to react at the sudden increase of price, so all he can do is nod his head dumbfoundingly, indicating that he is accepting the offer.

Lawless and others ignored Shin and continue drinking and chatting with each other. For others, that amount of gold is already pretty much to spend. But for them, it is just a common amount of money in exchange for a sudden increase of strength.

After some time, Shin finally recovered himself and come back to reality. Then, he suddenly remembered something. "Hey, Brother Lawless, I still have something that I want to sell."

"Hahaha... OK, OK, just show it to me and I'll take care of it." Lawless laugh out loud, not taking Shin's words in the heart. He expect that it is just some kind of common item. But the expression on his face suddenly froze when he saw what kind of item Shin want to sell.

*Cough!* *Cough!* Ravier who is currently drinking a mug beer choked up and he even almost spilled the beer on himself. Ember on the other hand, is look at Shin with wide and disbelieving eyes. Even Faker who is not a bit interested earlier, can't take his eyes away from the flask that Shin is holding.

What followed after that is absolute silence and a strange atmosphere inside the VIP room.
