Chapter 6: Untrustworthy Swordsman.
White Online

[You Have Died!]

[You Have Been Killed By Player Wraith!]

[Your Level was 2!]

[Your account is terminated!]

[Reason: When your level is below 5. Your account will be terminated if you die!]

''RAAA!'' The person who played Salamander angrily threw the VR Helmet away.

''I NEED TO BUY ANOTHER ONE, FUCK!'' Salamander shouted angrily.

You can only have 1 account with one VR Helmet, and now that his account is terminated... He needs to buy another one.

And the VR Helmet he used was Gold Rank...

''Wraith... I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!'' Salamander shouted angrily and left the house to buy another VR Helmet.

...

Isaac, also known as Wraith, had no idea that the death penalty for level 2's was that harsh— he thought that Salamander would be respawned a week later and would be very angry.

Isaac started descending the tree very carefully and shortly afterward landed on the ground safely.

He looked around and saw the Party members being far away.

Isaac ran towards the Salamander's items.

[Child Wolf's Claw - Rank: Common]

[Child Wolf's Fang - Rank: Common]

[Wooden Sword - Rank: White]

[Leather Pants - Rank: White]

[White Shirt - Rank: White]

Isaac put them all to his Inventory and started running away from the forest.

Since hundreds of players were in the forest, it was easy for him to leave the woods without being disturbed.

10 minutes later, Isaac entered the village and went straight to the Merchant Store.

''I am back,'' Isaac said after entering the building.

Kulos glanced at him, ''Buy or Sell?''

''Sell,'' Isaac said and put all the items he received from Salamander to the desk.

Kulos was not that impressed, ''30 White Coins.''

Isaac nodded— he took the coins and left the building.

''35 White Coins... I doubt I can buy anything good with that...'' Isaac murmured and started finding a weapons store.

He found it quickly— it was the most crowded building in the entire village.

Many players were visiting it, but most of the players left empty-handed after seeing the prize of the items.

Isaac entered the building and saw a lot of swords, daggers, shields, but there weren't many guns.

But soon, he found a gun.

[Flintlock - Rank: Common]

[Cost: 150 White Coins]

Isaac sighed and shook his head.

He looked at the other items, but the cheapest item was 80 White Coins, an iron dagger.

Isaac left the building with low self-esteem.

'I am so poor!' Isaac thought first that his situation wasn't that bad.

Oh boy, he was very wrong.

Isaac left the Weapon Store and slowly started approaching the village entrance.

But before he arrived there, he saw a strange sight.

Some of the players had small cameras flying above their heads, and they kept talking with themselves.

'Livestreaming..?' Isaac guessed.

It looked interesting seeing so many players live streaming at the same time.

Isaac pressed the [Help] once again and went to the Livestreaming section.

[Livestreaming: Say ''Livestream Online'', a screen will show up, and you can choose which website you want to stream from]

Isaac closed the Interface once again.

He wasn't that interested in live streaming, and he doubts that he gets even one viewer.

Most are in the top streams like Underlord's.

Isaac left the village again, and this time he went in a different direction from the forest.

The forest is filled with players, and the areas where he could get kills are packed.

Only some top players could fight against Level 5 animals.

Isaac walked for half an hour, and he arrived at the bridge where a lonely-looking man was standing.

[Vaulon]

[Level: ???]

Only those words were shown.

Isaac was curious and approached him.

Vaulon sees a young man with a cheap-looking outfit walking towards him.

He shook his head, ''Young man, turn around.''

''Why?'' Isaac asked curiously.

''I am trying to help you.'' Vaulon said and continued, ''If you cross this bridge... You won't stay alive long, please believe me.''

Isaac was deep in thought, but then a few messages appeared in front of him.

[Vaulon is called Untrustworthy Swordsman!]

[Do you want to cross the bridge?]

[Yes/No]

Isaac thought, but then he decided to press [No]

He is fine in staying in the newbie village for now.

Vaulon sighed in relief, ''Thank you for trusting me, young man. Not many have...'' He lowered his head; his face was morphed into sadness.

''This means a lot...'' Vaulon wiped his tears, ''Because you trust me... I have a Quest if you are interested.''

Isaac raised an eyebrow, ''Quest?''

Vaulon nodded, ''Quest which will make you rich and powerful!''

[Vaulon has offered you a Quest!]

[Legacy Quest Received!]

[Do you want to accept the Quest?]

[Yes/No]

''Legacy..?'' Isaac was slightly surprised but also suspicious.

'I don't think Legacy Quests are this easy to get... There are not that many of them after all...' Isaac came to a conclusion.

He pressed [No]

''Why... Why didn't you trust me?!'' Vaulon roared angrily.

Isaac took a step backward.

Vaulon angrily started stomping towards Isaac— he unsheathed his sword and aimed it towards Isaac's neck.

''Punishment for not trusting me... Is death!'' Vaulon swung his sword towards Isaac's neck, and with blinding speed, the blade was only an inch away from his neck.

Isaac closed his eyes and waited for the death to embrace him.

''ARGHHH! WHY?!'' Isaac slowly opened his eyes and saw Vaulon's blade barely touching his skin, but there was some kind of barrier protecting him.

Isaac started slowly walking backward.

Vaulon tried to go after him, but he couldn't move from his spot for some reason.

''COME BACK HERE!'' Vaulon roared angrily.

Isaac turned around and started running away.

Leaving the angry Vaulon alone.

''Whew.'' Isaac took a deep breath after he ran 10 minutes nonstop.

He sat down on the ground, ''That was scary...''

After he caught his breath, he decided to open the Interface to check the time.

''Hmm... Only 1.31 P.M...'' Isaac murmured.

He has only played for an hour and 30 minutes so far.

''Wait... Stat points?'' Isaac saw him having 10 Stat Points and an increase of 5 HP points.

''So... Every Level gives 10 stat points and 5 HP points... That is good to know.''

Isaac again put the 10 Stat Points without even thinking twice, and now the stats looked like this...
