Chương 28: Going back to the Game
.....
Shin arrived at the parking lot of the Hotel and directly entered his 'Black Panther', few moments later Arthur also arrive after him and run towards at the passenger seat.
*Brooom!!!*
*Brooom!!!*
Shin immediately started the car, once Arthur taken his seat. Then he drive the car out the parking lot of the hotel.
Arthur clicked his tounge and said to Shin while putting up his seatbelt. "Tsk, you looks like an desperate bird that is trying so hard to get home. Why the are you so impatient to get home?"
"I just want to have my early rest tonight and a peaceful one at that. Did you know that I haven't gotten a goodnight sleep since I arrive here?" replied Shin almost immediately.
He pause for a moment before adding. "And «Destiny's Fate» server is going up tomorrow. So I also need to wake up earlier, because there are some trainings that are added to my training regime."
"Quite busy Huh? Anyway how is your game doing?" asked Arthur while looking out on the window.
"Hmm.... quite good I guess? I'm currently level 35 and I still have two days left for my EXP boost, so I guess I will reach Level 50 before it expires." replied Shin while curving his mouth upward.
"That's good then. So what is your plan? But you are a Swordsman related class, then I suggest you to not immediately tackle your class promotion quest once you hit level 50." advised Arthur to Shin as he is tapping the the window.
And without waiting for Shin to ask 'why', he immediately added as if he is sure that Shin really have a Swordsman related Class. "It is because, even if its class promotion quest level requirements was lowered, its difficulty is still in level 75. So you are just going to waste your time if you do."
Shin give Arthur a sideeye glance and asked for more of his advice since he trust this brother of his. "So what did you suggest then?"
Arthur think for a moment before replying. "It is better if you get your Sub-Class first or find a suitable pet once you hit level 50."
Shin thought for a moment before asking Arthur with a little doubt. "I understand why having a pet but a Sub-Class? Isn't it just a waste if I really get that, from what I have heard they don't have any kind of combat power."
Arthur smirks at Shin before saying at him skeptically. "Heh, and from whom did you heard that? Only a recently joined player like you will think that way. Subclasses give a bonus stats to the players including the production type subclasses."
"«Destiny's Fate» is different from the previous VRMMORPG game out there. In this game, even a Lifestyle player can kill a combat player, much less being helpful on a war."
Shin knitted his brows and become confused on what Arthur have said. And when Arthur saw that action, he explained it in a even more detailed manner. "It is like this, each Subclasses have their own charms on it. For example, a Blacksmith is perfect for warrior and knight related classes, since it gives a lot of bonus STR and VIT on the stats. And even if they set it as their main profession, they can still become OP because they can wield different kinds of weapon that they have created, just like 'Black Hammer' of 'Hand of Midas'."
"Another example is 'Tinker' the best Engineer. That guy can create different kind of abnormal devices that can assist him during combat, such as powerful explosives and mobile Ballistae. And that guy is also from 'Hand of Midas'."
Shin become dumbfounded because of the new discovery. "There are such things like that!?"
"Che! I thought were a studious type of student. At least do some research, OK? And don't just blindly believe others." smirked Arthur before forming a wide grin on his face and smugly added. "So, amazed already? But that's not all of that. You can also have a combat Sub-Class if you want."
Shin slow down the car and asked Arthur for more information. "What? How?"
"Well it is not that hard but not that easy either. All you have to do is clear a quest corresponding to it, the harder the difficulty of the quest the stronger your Sub-Class will be." said Arthur while putting both of his hands at the back of his head.
"Oh.... So I need to find a suitable quest and clear it, for me to have one." said Shin before accelerating the car.
"But that is the real hard part on it. Finding that kind of quest is easier to said than done." said Arthur while pursing his lips.
Then they become silent for a few minutes before Shin remembered something. He take a glance at Arthur and asked. "Hey, Golden Boy. What do you know about the 'Class Fighting Style'?"
Arthur is startled at Shin's question and almost shot up of his seat. He look at Shin astoundingly before saying. "You already created your 'Class Fighting Style'!? That was quite fast, you have only played «Destiny's Fate» for a week, yet you already created an OP skill like that!?"
"Hmmm?... Is creating that kind of skill amazing? I'm pretty sure that you've also got that kind of skill. After all, you are a Martial-Art Prodigy that can learn a lot of skills." said Shin nonchalantly while shrugging his shoulders.
The corner of Arthur's mouth twitch when he heard that. He clicked his tounge and said "Tsk, what did you know? Even though creating a skill quite simple for me, it doesn't mean I will blindly create one out of the whim. After all 'Personalized' Skill Slots are limited."
"Eh!? It is limited!? I thought we can learn a lot of skills as long as we want?" Shin knitted his brows and got confused.
Arthur rolled his eyes and said. "Hey! Are you listening to me? I said it is only Personalized skills! You can only have 10 Personalized Skills at most, it is because of those insecure Developers. They limit the players growth, every time they saw a player that have a lot advantage, they are going to Nerf them almost immediately."
"And Because of it a lot of Powerful Rankers protested. They have threaten the game administrators that they will boycott the game. At first the The World Gaming Org. ignored it, but some 'Godlike Players' joined the revolt. Together with their influence, a lot of players supported them."
"That's the reason why 'Class Fighting Style' and Combat Techniques are created."
Shin is shocked on he have heard. 'This game is really not as simple as it seemed, I guess.'
Arthur pause for few seconds to take some breather before continuing. "Going back to your question. 'Class Fighting Styles' are the Skills that are perfectly suited for your Class and battle style, isn't it already obvious? The only difference of those Skills to 'Self-Created Skills', is that the former is a 'Stat related Skill' and didn't take a Skill Slot on your Self-Created Skill."
"Ah!? They are also can't be upgraded. And since you have already created yours, it is better for you to create more skills base on it. And together with those skills, you will instantly promoted to a High Ranker." added by Arthur while taking a look at Shin and trying to see if he can find some exited reaction.
"Hmm... How about 'Combat Techniques' then?" Shin ignored his brother's gaze and take advantage of situation to asked for more questions.
Arthur put more some thoughts before saying. "Hmm..... That one is a little tricky. Then let us put it this way, let's just treat it as a 'Real World' martial-art skills. For example the Movement Martial-Art Skills, you can recreate it inside the game just like the 'Shadow Waltz', my 'Dragon Dance', your 'Shifting Movement' and other similar Skills."
"As for Attacking and Defensive Combat Techniques, it is just the way of your battle. Just like your 'Yin-Yang Twist', where you can barrow the forces of your opponents attack to strengthen yours."
"And to put all of it in simpler terms, All you need to do is treat «Destiny's Fate» as reality to have those kinds of Techniques. But be careful not to have a *VRD(Virtual Reality Disorder)."
Shin nodded his head and digest the informations that he have got.
.....
The next day, Shin woke up earlier that his usual basis. He do some physical training first before doing a mental meditation to train his spirit.
After having breakfast, Shin directly entered his room and put his VR helmet on his head. Then he lie on the bed while closing his eyes, before muttering. "Initiate Login."
*Swoosh!*
Shin opened his eyes and found himself in front a Bar where he have chatted with Lawless. After taking a deep breath he opened his Status Window to recall his progress.

"Hmm... Maybe I should upgrade some of my Class related skills. But from what Arthur have said, I shouldn't upgrade the 'Rare' ones to 'Epic' since my character still can't handle that. After all I am still in Tier 1 Class." muttered Shin to himself before deciding to upgrade 'Half-Moon Slash' and 'Moonlight Steps'. And after some consideration he also add the 'Solar Cut' Skill.
....

*Whistle~*
"Heh, quite strong skills Huh? especially the Moonlight Steps, its extra effect is quite OP. And with these, all of my Class related Skill are in Rare Rank." said Shin to himself before going to the Church of the Sun and the Moon. He is going there to see if he can get some quest.
After arriving in the Church, Shin directly entered through the entrance ignoring the Paladin Guards that bowed at him as he pass through the gate.
Some players that saw that scene got shocked on what they have witnessed.
"Whoa!!! Who is that guy? He entered the church without being blocked by the Guards."
"That is not the main point. Did you see that those two Guards just bowed at him?"
"Is he some kind of Ranker? They are the only one that have a Noble Status on the City because they have a very high Fame Stats."
"Why do I feel that I have saw that guy before."
"Yeah, I also feel that 'that guy' is quite familiar."
....
Inside the Church Shin wait for at least 30 minutes before Archbishop Ronald meet him.
"Hoh!? You've improve a lot Young Envoy. Looks like Master Envoy is right, you really have a high potential." said Archbishop Ronald the moment he saw Shin.
Shin put his right hand fist while giving the Archbishop a deep bow, then after the salute Shin said to the Archbishop. "Greetings Archbishop Ronald, I'm sorry to disturb you despite your busy schedule. I've just want to know if there is something I can help with."
"Hoho... Please drop the formalities Young Envoy, your status is higher than mine." said Archbishop Ronald as if he is becoming more fond of Shin.
Then after a brief pause the Archbishop continues. "As for your question, we currently have enough man power to deal with our problems at your level. As for the higher missions, you are still to weak for them. So I am sorry to tell you but you can't help us for now. But I assure you that the moment we require your assistance I will call you immediately."
'What kind of situation is this? Are my status and Fame not enough to get a quest on here. Maybe I'm a bit rush, after all I have only clear a few quest when I was in the Beginner's Village. No, it should be only 2 to be exact.' said Shin to himself while waiting for the Archbishop to say more.
Archbishop Ronald fondle his beard for a moment before saying to Shin. "But If you manage to become worthy of your status as our Envoy, then you can execute any mission that you want."
'Is he telling me to come back once I passed my class promotion quest? Now that o think about it, this place should be only available to the high leveled Players. I've only manage get in here because of my status in the Church. I'm such an *d*ot.' thought Shin before replying to the Archbishop. "I understand Archbishop. I will take my leave now. And I again apologize for disturbing you."
After that Shin immediately turned around while thinking on what is he going to do next.
Archbishop Ronald is watching Shin's back when he suddenly remembered something. "Ah!? That's right! Before I forgot, Young Envoy. You can go to the praying Altar to get some instructions from the previous Envoys."
'Eh!? Is he telling me to get some additional skills from the Altar?' Shin stop his steps when he heard what the Archbishop had said. Then he suddenly slapped his forehead when he have realized why is that. 'Oh right! I can learn extra skills from the instructor of my Class every time I reach a 25 level mark.'
Shin immediately turn around to face the Archbishop once again, then he give another bow while thanking the Old Man. After that he hurriedly run towards the praying Altar excitedly. The Archbishop laugh heartily when he saw Shin actions. "Hahaha... What an energetic young lad. It is really good to be young."
Once Shin entersed the praying hall, he briefly observed the surroundings before saying to himself. 'There is nothing that have changed in here, it is the same as the last time I've got here.'
Then walks towards the praying Altar and kneeled with one knee at the center of it. After that he close his eyes and mimicked what the Archbishop have said before, when he was being converted, while also altering some words on it. 'Oh Mighty Sun and Moon, that guarding the world from the heaven. Please grant this servant of yours some powers to protect his Kin.'
*Swoosh*
*Wong.....*
A ray of alternating blue and orange light shot from the sky and enfold Shin. He felt that there are some unknown powers entering his body. And that state lasted for at least a minute before that light disappeared without leaving a trace.
Shin opened his eyes before standing once again. After that he excitedly open his Skill Window to see what kind of Skills did he got.
...
Skill Name: Sun-Ray Dash

"Whoa!? Another OP skills. One is a movement Skill while the other is a Defensive Skill. The 'Sun-Ray Dash' is more of a brute force skill than the 'Moonlight Steps' whose more focused on flexibility. Both of them have their own charms. Meanwhile the 'Eclipse Pulse' is quite a very powerful lifesaving skill, the only drawback is that it have a long Cooldown." said Shin as he inspect his newly acquired skills.
Shin walk out he Church after that. And when he is about to go hunting, he received a private message that came form Lawless.
.....
SUY NGHĨ CỦA NGƯỜI SÁNG TẠO 
ProudMonkey
ProudMonkey VRD(Virtual Reality Disorder): it is a mental disorder that make someone to become confused on what is the difference between the virtual world and the real one.
Chương 29: A New Quest
.....
Lawless: Hey! Brother Sickarius, I have a good and a bad news for you. What you want to hear first?
'What is with this guy now?' Shin knitted his brows when he saw that message. He thought for a moment before replying.
Sickarius: Let's go with the bad one first.
Lawless immediately replied after.
Lawless: Remember that guy you have beaten up before? He is quite a narrow-minded guy, he asked a permission from his superiors to send a group players to hunt you down. And because of your fight with them become viral in the forums, and causing their guild to lose some face, they have agreed to it.
Shin read the message carefully before asking for the good one.
Sickarius: How about the good one?
Lawless: The good news is that even though the higher-ups of the 'HeadHunter Guild' agreed to it, they have just send the orders to their subordinate guilds.
Sickarius: And you still call it a good news? (With a twitching expression smiley face)
Lawless: Haha... That is still better than being haunted by the bunch of Elite Players of a Powerhouse Guild. (Rolling on the ground while laughing emoji)
Shin ignored the rest of messages before walking forward. Then he entered an inn to rent a room, because he just have discovered that a players can get a '30% EXP Boost' for a day(In Game Time) if they stayed on the inn for an hour. And he will level-up faster if he add it to his 'x2 EXP Boost'.
And while he is waiting, Shin connects to the «Destiny's Fate» online forums to see if he can find some helpful informations.
The first thing he do is to find who are the subordinate Guilds of the 'HeadHunter Guild'. After finding all of that, he memorized all the names of all those guilds and he engraved all of their emblems in his mind.
"Tsk, Powerhouses sure are worthy of their names. Aside from having powerful players, they also have these Lower Guilds to act as their fighting dogs." Thought Shin, the moment he saw the list of subordinate Guilds of the 'HeadHunter Guild'.
After memorizing all of it, he browses on the top topics of the Forums, to kill more time. And as Shin is browsing, a topic caught his eyes with a title of 'A Newbie Beats A Veteran'.
He clicked the link and played the video in it. What he saw after was just like he have expected, he saw himself fighting Gray Fangs and his party members.
The video lasted only for five minutes, it is a short video but it already have gotten tens of millions of views. Shin watch the entire video and do some self-reflection after.
He is about to read some comments, when he suddenly changed his mind. After all, most of the comments on it are just some idle talk of players that don't have anything better to do.
Shin burned all of his remaining time on browsing some other topics. And an hour just passed just like that.
Shin stand up, to go some hunting on his usual place. And after some hesitation he unequipped all of his items, because those items are quite eye-catching for those guilds that are looking for him, especially his mask. Even though there might be some players that have the same equipment set as him, he still thought against it. After all, it is better to be careful than sorry.
.....
Shin arrive at the Dark Swamp after few minutes of walking, then he equip his items as he get near. But the moment he got in there he saw a person laying on the ground not far from the edge of the Swamp.
Shin immediately run towards the person when he noticed it. From the the clothes that the person were wearing, you can guess that he is a soldier from the City.
Shin bent down and checked to see if the soldier is still alive, while using the 'Scouting' skill at the same time.
...
Name: (NPC) Howard
Level: 50
Race: Human
Class: City Guard
Status: Lethally Wounded
....
'Oh....!? An NPC? Heh, I can smell a quest already.' smirked Shin the moment he saw the soldier's information.
After confirming that Howard is still alive, Shin try to wake him up by tapping the soldier's face with a little force. "Hey, brother! This is not a good place to take a nap. I think it is better if you find another place "
"Hmmm...." Howard started to get his consciousness back because of Shin's continues tapping. Of course, the first person that he saw is Shin. "Oh...? Young Adventurer from the other world. I-It is good t-thing that you ma- manage to find me. Bu- But too bad, I am still about to da- die."
'What is with this kind of drama? I'm not good at these kind of situations.' thought Shin in his mind before asking to Howard. "What happened brother that you end up on this state?"
"A-A monster horde a-attacked our military camp la-last night, re- resulting for the Seventh Outpost to be destroyed. I-I manage to escaped, bu- but still end up in this s-state in the process." said Howard before reaching on the left side of his waist and taking out a coin token on it. Then he raised it slowly trying to hand it over to Shin, while saying. "Go to the C-City Palace and t-tell to the K-King that the Seventh O-Outpost have fallen. And T-They need to send someone t-to re-retrieve the 'Royal Chalice'."
The moment Shin reach out for the token, Howard immediately have taken his last breath, changing his status from 'Lethality Wounded' to 'Deceased'.
At same time, a familiar sound rings at Shin's ears, together with a quest notification window.
*DING!!!*
System: Quest Initiated. The Seventh Outpost of the Holy City have been attacked by a Monster Horde, resulting for it to be ruined.
System: Since you reach out for the token, it is considered that you have accepted the quest. Go to the City Palace and inform the King on what have happened.

"What's with that kind of penalties? From what I have discovered from the Forums, The Quest difficulty outside the Beginner's Village are vastly different inside. Then it means that this 'A Grade Main Quest' required a strong party to be cleared." said Shin to himself when he saw the details of the quest.
"Should I invite some party members to clear this quest? But I don't have any friends aside from Lawless and Faker." Thought Shin for a moment before forgetting about it immediately. "Nah, never mind it for now. I'll consider about it once I've got the instructions from the King. If it is a time limited quest that I can't be cleared, then I'll asked for Brother Lawless help, but if it is not then I'm going to do it myself."
Then he take a look at token at his hand and inspect it.
.....
Item Name: Holy City Royal Token
Item Type: Etc.
Item Rank: Special (Quest Item)
Details: A special token that have been given by the Holy Spirit Royal Family to those people that they have owed a favor.
.....
The token coin size is enough to be seize by a hand of grown up man. On its first side, engraved an inverted sword with a pair of Angel wings on its back, while the other side have a Holy Spirit words engraved on it.
Shin put the token in his inventory before crashing a Return Scroll, for him to go back to the City square.
*Swoosh!*
Shin appeared on the teleportation hall in the center of the City Square. After taking a look at the surroundings, Shin directly went to the City Palace to get his instructions for his newly acquired quest.
Because Shin is too occupied by the details about the quest, he forgot to take off his equipments and about him being wanted by the subordinate guilds of the 'HeadHunter Guild'.
As Shin walk though the crowd, some players that keeping an eye on the City Square noticed him. They reported to their higher ups before going after Shin and tail him from a safe distance.
Shin felt something wrong as he walked though the City Streets. He turned his head left and right trying act normal as possible, then few moments later he got the whole picture of the situation.
"Tsk, so that's what happening. These guys that were trailing me, should be the dogs of those subordinate guilds that had branded me as a wanted person. *Sigh* I forgot to swapped my equipments with the beginners one, because I'm too occupied by my Main Quest." said Shin to himself while slapping his forehead.
Then after a couple of minutes on walking, Shin finally arrived at his destination.
"Halt! Stay were you are Kid! You are not authorized to enter the Palace, one more step and you will be executed without mercy." said one of the Palace Guard at the entrance.
'Quite strict on you security Huh? Even an Envoy of a Church like me can't enter. Or is it because that I am still not an official Envoy yet?' thought Shin before taking out the token that he got from Howard, and show it to the Palace Guard. "I come here to report something urgent to the King."
The Palace Guard is startled when he saw the emblem engraved on the surface of the token. He stared at it intensely for at least a minute, before putting his right hand fist in front of his left chest and said while bowing his head. "I'm sorry my Lord, I didn't intended to be rude at you earlier."
'Eh!? This scrap metal actually have this kind of effect?' Shin didn't expect that the token in his hands have that kind of impact. Then after recovering himself, he replied to the guard with a dignified manner. "Forget about it, you are just doing you job responsibly. So can I enter now?"
"Yes my Lord, please follow me and I will inform the King for your request of audience." said the Palace Guard with more respective tone, while inviting Shin inside.
The whole event are witnessed by all the scouts that have trailed Shin, resulting for them to immediately report to their higher ups.
"Sir, The target entered the City Palace, and from the looks of it, he went there to get some quest."
"Boss, it looks like the target have a very high status in the City. It is because he have just entered the Palace unhindered."
"Elder, I trailed the target and he entered the City Palace, escorted by the Guard on the gate."
"Captain, Looks like the target just have got a quest in the City Palace. What are we going do?"
.....
Inside the City Palace, Shin was escorted by the Palace Guard in the audience hall, where King Cassius was waiting.
When Shin arrived in front of the stairs of the King's platform, he put his right hand fist in front of chest before bowing his head. "Greetings your Majesty."
But before King Cassius opens his mouth, a Royal Guard on the platform steps shout at Shin. "How dare you not to kneel in front of the King!? You lowly Being from the Other World!"
Shin knitted his brows because of the Royal Guards words, but he can't complain about it since the Royal Guard is a lot stronger than him.
King Cassius raise his right hand, telling for the Royal Guard to stop. "I've heard that you have something urgent to tell me, young Envoy from the Church of the Sun and the Moon."
"Yes your Majesty" said Shin while taking a the Token out. Then he show it to King Cassius before saying. "I've got this from Soldier Howard. And he told me that their Military Camp have been attacked by a Monster Horde, and the Seventh Outpost was destroyed."
King Cassius frown his brows when he heard what Shin have said. Then he fell on a deep thought before asking again. "Is that all? Did he say something more?"
"He also said that you need to send some people to retrieve the Royal Chalice." replied Shin almost immediately.
King Cassius think for a moment before saying to Shin. "The Seventh Outpost should be field by monsters now. We need some time to organized our troops to go in there. So I would like to asked you, if you want to help us buy some time until our troops are ready."
*Ding!*
System: Quest update. King Cassius become trouble because of what have happened on the Seventh Outpost, and he would like to you to buy them some time until the Royal Army organized some troops to send in there.
Would you like to Accept? YES or NO
Note: The favorability of the King on you will drop enormously if you decline.
'Isn't this the same as forcing me to accept thus quest?' Thought Shin before nodding his head, indicating that he have accepted the quest.
When King Cassius saw that Shin nodded, he smiled and also nod at Shin with approval. Then opens his mouth and give his instructions. "Good! Then this is what will you have to do. Go on the Seventh Outpost and scout the area while clearing some monsters there. You also need to protect the Royal Chalice until the reinforcement arrive."
The King paused for a moment before giving Shin a Key and box, after some hesitation. "You can also retrieve the Royal Chalice if you have the chance. That key can open the chamber where that Royal Chalice is, while you can use that box to store the Chalice. But if something unexpected happened, destroy the Chalice without hesitation."
After that, another system notification ring on his ears together with the Quest Update window.

"This quest is quite odd. There are a lot of suspicious things that I need to look for." muttered Shin as he walked out the City Palace while looking at his quest suspiciously.
"Hmm... There are three choices on the Quest Conditions, could it mean that it gave different kind of rewards based on the Conditions that have met? But why there are no choices on the quest rewards? Maybe on the bonus rewards then?" Shin is analyzing some parts of his quest when disregard the thought almost immediately. It is because he felt some malicious gazes directed at him.
Shin looked left and right around him before muttering to himself. "Hmm?... Now what should I do to shake off these pest?"
