READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 9: Another World
As Asmodeus declared, our hearts started pounding, some of us fidgeting and others furrowed their eyebrows with disbelief. The room filled with panic. Some of them were excited while others felt pressure.
"Are we going to be transported together or..." Mr. Woo raised a question.
[You're going to scatter around the world, everyone in different locations takes my advice the monsters on the other side aren't that weak even E-ranks are dangerous]
Asmodeus spoke, a dark aura surrounding the area, the temperature dropping, and A cold gaze from his two eyes.
His eyes gleamed with malice, a sly grin. His revelation caused an uneasy situation.
"It's troublesome" Mr. Woo muttered under his breath.
[I no longer can delay, the time is up. So farewell everyone, let's meet in the other]
Before we could even put out our opinion, we had been transported. At the same time, Seyhung spoke.
"What a min-" As Sehyung spoke at the same time he raised his hand and with a single flick he transported us.
***
Opening my eyes I found myself in an unknown location, only seen in a fantasy novel. As far as my eyes go I could see mountains, trees, and greenery. The breathtaking took me by surprise the terrain, river every little thing is beautiful. The woodsy and earthy smell filled the air. It's a situation I never encountered before. It felt like so home.
As I walked toward the forest I observed many odd entities. While I walked past the forest, I learned about the 'Alcia Hex'. The forest was the habitat of wild 'Alcia hex' a plant monster breathing icicle sharp spears. They were all E-ranked. One more thing I discovered the system functions were not working like the 'System Shop' and I couldn't increase my stats. As I descended upon the world all my abilities were gone. Only the status window worked and the scenario was still intact.
This world has three magic systems,
First, Ken has a martial art style. The user infuses their body parts with blue mana to strengthen it, then they can unleash a blast. There are stages for now let's skip the stages.
Secondly, Magic. The Elemental magic is like water, wind, and fire. Only high-level mages can learn the advanced form. This form goes like this;
Water+Wind = Ice, Wind+Fire = Smoke
The Wood and gravity are extremely rare.
For the information about the third, I have to join the guild. Yes, the grimoire.
[Status]
Name: Baek Seong
Age: 20
Skill: knife proficiency
I had no weapon to defend myself, so I decided to craft a knife. I gathered iron from a mine and crafted a knife it was not bad. Better than nothing I guess.
If it's another world I must find a town. The question is will the coins work there? If not I'm in grave trouble. If I remember correctly Asmodeus mentioned another demon would take over in this world. 'Azazel the greed class' huh? But I don't think a higher-ranking demon would appear sooner.
[You have encountered a horde of 'Red Goblin']
Situation: A horde of E-rank 'Red goblins' have appeared in front of you
Condition: Defeat them
Reward: 100 Azklar
Penalty: Death
Huh? How is a goblin this so fast? It's E-rank? No way...it's at least a C rank if I calculate it in our world. So Asmodeus wasn't bluffing,
One...two...three total 5 'Red Goblin' huh? These goblins had far superior abilities than 'Green goblins'.
One of them rushed, and I barely managed to dodge one second late I would be dead. I took out my knife and thurst and pierced its gut.
[A 'red goblin' has been slain]
[20 Azklar obtained]
[knife proficiency lvl 1 - 2]
While fighting these creatures I discovered, that each time I defeated them the stronger I became. I could feel the strength in my muscles and veins also my movements were agile than before.
[You have successfully defeated the horde of 'Red Goblins' ]
[You have obtained 100 Azklar]
[You have acquired 'Wind' magic]
Wind huh? I can create a variety of spells but first, I must find a town.
5 days later...
"Ah, finally a town!" I screamed with relief. These 5 days were hell, with no food, the monsters emerged one after another I was completely exhausted. My tongue was dry if I hadn't found a town in time I would've starved to death.
"Ecrin huh?" pretty fancy for a town name I guess. From a far away, the buzzing sound echoed in the air. People's chatter could be heard the voices were getting mixed and created a strange echo everywhere.
"Mr. we have the finest 'Xumbi', you will not find any 'Xumbi' anywhere else!" As I walked past the stalls one by one, an old man called out to me.
"What's a 'Xumbi'? I asked being piqued.
His eyes widened, and furrowed brows he made an expression that told me I had committed a grave sin then he replied,
"Huh? You don't know...?" He continued "You must be from an ancient rural area. Well 'Xumbi' is a fruit, it's sweet and crunchy even the nobles have an eye for it" He leaned forward and spoke in a low voice.
It caught my interest so, I bought 1kg but man it was hella expensive 35 Azklar for 6 'Xumbi'. But it was worth it because the fruit itself was heavenly.
"The curly weaponry?" I almost choked on 'Xumbi' reading the shop name.
Ting-ting
"Welcome," A young lady in her mid-20s with black long hair spoke.
"How can I help you?" She asked her voice low-pitched.
"I'm looking for a good sword, if possible one with abilities intact would be better"
"Before that, can I see your guild card?" She asked a gentle smile appeared.
I was flabbergasted, brow furrowed.
"Guild card?" I asked
"Yeah, In order to purchase the weapon, magic wand, and other items you need a guild card its a necessary" She continued "If you don't have one, you can register in the guild just this alley"
I never thought, Without a guild card it would be so 'inconvenience'. Well now that I know without a guild card I can't even buy a sword hunting is Converse of Heaven.
[System: Now you can access inventory]
As I thought I could access my weapons, the misfortune struck again not even my weapons remained. As I looked for the guild, a thought came to mind where could Sehyung and others be? If they were here with me everything would sort out.
This must be the guild building, "Foxhound Guild" Pretty big, the walls were made with prism stone for the gate...A head of dragon? Even if the guild name was 'Foxhound Guild'? Pretty strange.
Close to the guild, there was a huge crowd, the murmur of people echoed through the air. According to the 'Weapon shop' manager today the guild is recruiting newbies. There will be a test held, Top 10 highest ranking ones will get the opportunity to officially join the guild.
