Chương 318: Alchemist [#1]: From the Ashes
Holding his stomach, Stiles gasped as he felt the raindrops fall upon his ashen skin- The pain of being shot was never good, even more so when you're dying! His name is Stiles Stilinski, he is 26 years old now and his father is gone, his father Jonathan Noah Stilinski had been recently diagnosed with lung cancer in the late stages and Stiles fought tooth and nail to cure him, going as far as getting money from the Mob family Argents! His work as an information collector in the famous MMORPG Game known as Magic and Might was not as successful nowadays since there is so many people out there that knows a lot of things. He misses the early days where people didn't even know where to find the starter class quests because the developers are sadistic assholes that love to torture their players... "I hope you enjoy your next 30 minutes my dear." The blond woman grinned- Stiles worked as an information collector in the game because of his own tallents, that being he was a good observer and researcher in real life, making it easy to find and sell information.
She was Kate Argent, the most disgusting bitch he has met. The Argents have a coup against the Hales, they burned down their home 8 years ago, in fact, this lady herself burned their home and the Argents took over many businesses from the Hales as they could, but unexpectedly the only surviving Hale returned and got back most of the work of his family and dragged the Argents out of their throne and into the dirt because they not only had business in the real world, but also in the game world.
You see, Magic and Might became a very important aspect of society when currency exchange was introduced in the game- Meaning you could trade your game money for real money, and many work opportunities were created from that! Of course crime also surged in the game, crime and fights and feuds and death. It was amazing how much chaos this game caused to society, but it also improved society by a lot! "Fuck you, bitch." Stiles spat out his mouthful of blood into the bitch's face because she had leaned in to look him closely, the satisfaction it brought him was quickly gone when her feet kicked his nose- "Fucking-" Another kick- "Bitch-" and another kick! His nose was beyond broken now, it was a paste! "Let's see if you'll enjoy this, you little shit!" He saw her walk away, he tried to crawl away from her but his legs did not obey him, instead he panted as his eyes felt heavier at each second. "Let's see if you'll enjoy this-" There was something wet being thrown into his body, and it smelled like- Gasoline.
The flames were cruel and painful, but oddily comfortable? Warm at the end, when his nerves were so burned he could no longer feel the pain.
He died being burned alive, and from the ashes he once again rose- Well, more like he rose from his bed! It was the third day after his rebirth, he convinced his parents to go have a check up because he was worried about their health, and when the results came back and they both had different types of cancer, he knew what he had to do. The coversion update will be released in about a month, which grants him enough time to make as much money online as he could! To play Magic and Might he needed a virtual pond, and to buy a virtual pond he needed a lot of money- Thankfully he knew of an event where the winner would win a pond free! He had already registered in the event and answered the quiz that the one who got all questions right would recevie the pond, he did and today the pond was supposed to arrive! He lived with his parents still, his mother and father who were both diagnosed with cancer were in a bad mood, they didn't have enough money to start the treatment so they took a loan from the bank to start his mother's treatment since her cancer was more advanced. A few hours later, his father called him as the delivery men arrived with his pond and were here to help him install it!
The pond he received was a costumized one, it had the size of his bed and had a black color mixed with a golden one, making this the most beautiful pond he has ever seen. "Ah, my baby~" He hugged the pond as he promised himself- He will make use of every knowledge he has to his advantage! Entering the pond, Stiles selected the game he wanted to play and was soon floating amongst the endless void-
[Welcome, to Magic and Might!]
A bright screen exploded before his eyes, and soon he was before a large saloon full of mannequins, they all were him in different sizes and shapes, different races he could play.
[Select your Race- This option cannot be changed unless a special item is used.]
'Hm... Money, i will focus on making money, so a crafter race? Will choose the Mage class, obviously, and exploit some bugs that haven't been pached up yet to make as much gold as i possibly can.' After the exchange update, getting money in the game will become harder to do, because when killing the most basic of monsters in the beginning of the game would've gotten you a few coins, after the exchange update it would take killing several of the same monster to get even one single copper coin.
[Are you certain?]
'Yep!'
Choosing his race, Stiles grinned- The race he chose was said to be to most useless one in the beginning of the game; the Treants. They were one of the races that started out with a rather difficult skill to get early on; Alchemy. The magical ability to change one property to another was a skill not useful in combat unless you were of the Legendary Class: Alchemist, who had the ability to change the type of damage they could do with a spell! And thankfully, Stiles knows where he could obtain such a class. The Treants had two racial skills that would be useful too in the future, them being [Naturally Stealthy] and [Tree's Voice] which allowed him to hide in any vegetation easily while the other let him sing and accelerate the growth of plants around him! Such a skill would be really useful because he plans on having a farm. 'Will need the [Cooking], [Mining], [Fishing], and [Farming] skills too.' These seemingly useless skills would become the best skills later to have because of the fact that in the next updates forward the game would add a hunger mechanic that makes your character die if you haven't eaten anything in 7 game days while giving you debuffs when you go a few days without eating. The food created by the system is bland and has no taste, but the food created by players has taste and that's why [Cooking] became one of the most important skills to have.
And it was easy- In the beginning of the game, st least- to get the skill!
And Stiles is here to abuse the fuck out of his future knowledge.
