1070 Words
After Going back to the Eclipse Online. OneSec get a friend request from someone called Mercy.
"Oh. That's her."
OneSec immediately accepted the Friend Request. He go out of his AFK state. And he look at Mercy Party List. There's 3 other person in that Party. Cherry, Silva and Steel.
OneSec don't know who they are but he feel pretty worried. Since he notices that Silva and Steel is a male. And in Eclipse Online, The Gender is always correct. It's your Gender because Dream World Inc didn't want anyone to dress up as a trap. Because it's going to be a hectic if that happen.
But of course, It is possible to Crossdress. But you will know the Gender of a certain character.
"Well... Let's just meet Mercy."
Right now, OneSec equipment is still the same equipment. Since he didn't get hit a single time on his leveling session. He didn't need to change his Beginner Equipment. Even though some of it provide better stats.
OneSec see Mercy on the other side. She have Rapier on her Waist and she have Blonde Hair, C Cup Chest, Blue eyes and she's wearing beginner clothing.
Beside her is this Pink Haired, Pink Eyes Chick with Mage staff. And the two other guy is this Silver haired dude with black eyes. He have Greatsword.
And the other guy, Steel. He have Brown Hair and black Eyes. His weapon of choice is Axe. Meaning... They're just a bunch of new player that don't know how party work. Not that I blame them because. I don't know myself.
But I do know that there should be a Tank in a party to take all the aggro.
"Ah! OneSec!"
Mercy called me out. She easily cross the bridge. While the other have a pretty rough time.
"Hey Mercy. How have you been? Are you still coming to the house this Weekend?"
I asked her about that. Since she always come to the house on the weekend just to play games with me. She thought that I was lonely. But I'm not...
"Yeah. I'm coming over at the weekend. Even though we can meet anytime in the Eclipse Online. But meeting in Real Life is always better right?"
"I Guess so... Anyway. Your Friends... They're pretty slow huh..."
I muttered. Mercy let out an awkward chuckle.
"Well, It's their first time playing VR game. The same as me. But unlike me... They didn't have that good of Physique. So it's going to be hard for them."
Mercy explained. I see... Well, I don't want to wait for too long here. They already failed so much. So I give them a support by pushing them from the other side to the other side. With my current status. It's easy for me to do that.
"Ah! Finally we arrived at the end of the hell!"
Silva said. I shake my head.
"Mercy. Who is he? OneSec?"
Cherry asked. Everyone immediately look at me. Mercy immediately explained.
"He's my Childhood Friend. He's 16 Years old. And from what I know. He's the Best VR MMO Player in the entire world."
Mercy explained. They look at me weirdly.
"Really?! But you look so normal..."
Steel said. I look at them all and said.
"Well... This Game just arrived 3 hours ago. Of course I still look normal. Anyway... Invite me to the Party Mercy."
"Okay OneSec. Give me a Sec~"
She said. Everyone blurted out.
"Hey! Don't make Pun of me!"
I said. I put my thumbs up toward Mercy and she smiled. It's stupid but I like it. Everyone just blurted out. I accept their party invitation.
"Level 24?!"
Mercy immediately screamed that. I smiled.
"Well, While you're in Uni. I was grinding for 3 Hours."
I said. Mercy nodded.
"Well then. You guys want to do the quest? Or go straight to Leveling?"
I asked them. Mercy immediately look at me.
"Let's do Quest. We're in party of Five. Isn't it going to be hard for us 5 to leveling at the same time?"
Mercy asked. Ah. Usually it is.
"In Eclipse Online, The EXP is not split. Everyone get the same amount of EXP and Gold. But about the Item Drop. It's going to be chance."
I explained. Mercy nodded. Everyone nodded.
"Well let's go straight to Leveling then. Rather than go back to the City later on. It's going to be better to keep leveling."
Mercy said. Oh wow... She know a lot huh... Well, As expected of her. So the Five of us run toward the Yellow Zone. They get Sprint and immediately use it. I use my Sprint as well and lead them on the front. We arrived at the Area where I first leveling. Far away from the City. Near the Medium Level Zone.
And then. After we arrived there. We saw this Blue Portal thing.
"Oh! A Dungeon!"
I said. Everyone look at me weirdly.
"What's a Dungeon?"
"Dungeon is just a place where you can explore an enclose Area. You're going to fight Goblin in there and reach the end of the room. You're going to fight a boss in there and then get all sort of Goodies!"
I explained. I'm really happy that I finally see one. Since that's the best source of Experience.
"If only I know that there's Dungeon in here. My Leveling session will be more efficient."
I muttered. They look at me excitedly.
"Well then OneSec! Carry me!"
Mercy said. I nodded. Everyone just sighed seeing our interaction. We go inside the Portal and it's a Medium Portal. Since This portal is at the Medium Area.
We appear in front of a cave. There's not so much people here because... This Area is not really that popular. It's very far away from the Main Road. That's why I get to monopolize all the Goblins around the area.
"Well then, Let's go in."
I said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Since I have the highest stat right now. I'm going to act as the Tank. While Everyone else is going to attack.
I hope that's what happen. Since I really want to move as fast as I could and tear everything to shreds right now.
We fight against Medium Goblin. And my EXP barely move. While The 4 of them is leveling normally. It's really not that great for me. And then... We arrived at the Boss Room.
