Another World

Chapter 28 - Exploring with a monk

My sights lay on the priest as I think 'You first'. I turn to the warrior leader with the beard "If a player is pkd does the pker get their levels?" He nods with a smile on his face "Yup, not like you'll even be able to do it". (Pking or Pk is Player Killing, when a player kills another for items and currency. The pker will probably get a red aura or debuff or somat...you can normally spam Pk in arenas and duels but not in towns). The bearded leader asks "Huh, are you going mad from fear?". "On the contrary my good sir". I raise my arms "All 5 of you will die by my hands this day". My body shimmers and I reappear on the right side of the priest. 'Hmph!' I punch him at full power on the temple and he instantly dies on the spot. [Gained a level through Pk] The other 4 rush me immediately their healer died. I roll out my shoulders just before a sword attack registers; and its a skill. I jump up evading the attack which decimates the ground that was just beneath me. I register 4 fireballs and wind stars coming at me. I look up as the warrior shouts "Let's see how you escape mid air attacks. *roars with laughter*". I snort as I turn my body slightly upwards and punch at the air in front of me. Im pushed back to the ground dazed as I just narrowly miss the wind and flame attacks. I quickly pounce back up the moment my body connects with the floor. I feel a presence behind me and the warrior fast approaches. I smash my fists on the ground [Monks rage] My arms are enveloped in flames and upon connecting with the ground spread out engulfing the assassin and warrior. The assassin dies immediately and while the leader is temporarily immobile I kill the mages and the revived priest. The boss shouts at me "Hmph, you think small flames like these can kill me that easy". I turn back on him and say "Open menu. Shop. Buy level breaker weapon and armour". I see a purple glow around me and feel lighter as my clothes are changed. I land lightly to see that I now wear white taoist robes with two gauntlets. The gauntlets are silver in colour and cover all of my fingers to forearms. I bend slightly at the knees when the flames disperse and the rogue leader charges again. I step on the ground heavily with my right foot when he is 7 feet from me [Trigram] A yin yang symbol surrounds me with a radius of 7 feet. After a space of 4 feet 2 thin circles extremely close to each other finish off the circle. The ground where I stepped heavily has somewhat broken abit. I stare at my opponent who cant move due to the trigram restriction and smile. His face is extremely unsightly as he shouts "Damn you! You hacker..cheater..shame on you!!" I calmly respond "You forced them to help you so I'll let them go after I get all their money and gear...but you on the other hand. All your gear, money and levels are mine". 'I wonder how many times I'll have to hit him to break his armour...32? 64? 128?' I stay with my right leg forward left leg backwards and arms outstretched for one more second. Then my upper body leans forward striking twice at his chest in quick succession, then 4 times, then 8, 16, 32 and at 64 his armour breaks down and cracks. I keep striking as he attempts to plead "Please, I'll give you all my gear and money, just dont Pk me!". 'Hmph so reality is coming to you eh?'. 128 strikes and the man who thought so much of himself warps back to level one. I deactivate the trigram and take all his equipment and gold leaving him with noob cloth armour. The rest of his crew havent moved but I see a pile of gear and gold on the ground which I swipe up. I walk to the nearest forest to grind and hear the sound of a familiar voice shouting in pain and despair as teammates beat him up. I see that my level has risen to 15, after a few minutes I see the forest stretch for leagues, my eyes cant penetrate its end no matter how much I strain. I start venturing into the forest and, unlike what I originally planned I walk further into the dense foliage instead of staying at the clearing. I hear a scream which rustles the leaves and trees, it also sends the birds away. I start running as I hear a growl also ahead of me. After a few seconds of running at full speed I see that 4 people are attempting to, and failing to hold back a large panther which stands at 7 feet tall at the shoulder. 

[Bane of Beginners Panther. Lv: 30. Field boss] 'Shit, a normal one would be better..a field boss has far more hp and will rage longer. How did these dumbasses even draw its attention?'. I sigh before logging out marking this position. I sit up properly ignoring both sisters as I make my own character. I say "Some noobs are in trouble, I'm gonna make my own character to help them out. Kate log on with your assassin, sis you with your monk. When you log on you're old levels will be added to the monk so I dont owe you anymore leveling". I make the Unspecialised class resemble me as much as possible before customizing the avatar with shinobi shizoku (Ninja outfit) and a lower face mask. As usual the hair is white and I keep it spiky and short. Once satisfied I logon and transfer my consciousness to the game.
