《MMORPG: Martial Gamer》Chapter 23. I'm Afraid I'll Accidentally Beat You To Death
Advertisement
With Frost Blade's help, Wang Yu opened the guild's name list and saw that his name was at the top and there was a level 15 behind it.
Scrolling down, Wang Yu was surprised to see that there was already someone else in the Quan Zhen Sect that was level 15 and the lowest level member was level 14! Levelling in this game went from really fast to slow. At this point, most players in REBIRTH were only around level 13. Brother Light's group were actually considered experts!
Wang Yu's efficiency when hunting monsters was already incredibly high and he had solo-ed two bosses previously thus helping him reach level 15. It was hard to believe that there were people capable of keeping up with him! The people who threw money into this game really were something else!
"We have a new member! Everyone say hi!" FrostBlade had sent this message in the guild chat but after waiting for nearly half a day there still weren't any replies.
During this time Wang Yu and Frost Blade could only awkwardly stare at each other.
"Motherf**kers! These sluts muted the group chat again!" After cursing for a bit Frost Blade personally messaged the other members of the guild.
Soon their other members started entering the group chat one by one.
Fearless: Bitch do you want to die or something? I already told you I'm on a date!!!!
Boson: Stalking her is considered a date? Then if you actually speak to her would it be sex already?
Spring Halo: F**king Frost Blade! This poor man had a sudden burst of inspiration and was trying to divine the location to hunt a boss! Your damn screaming destroyed everything! You better compensate me later!
...
Looking at them banter on the guild chat, Wang Yu finally understood why everyone said that the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were mad. Their reputation really was deserved!
"There's a new member!" Frost Blade cleared his throat and said.
"A new member? Is he here to worship us? He can do it in his heart. We're all very shy people so saying it out loud is very embarrassing…" The rest of the members openly discussed.
"These bunch of whores are called shy?" Wang Yu silently cursed.
As the guild leader, Fearless was the only who even bothered to check the Guild log to see had joined. The moment he had opened it he was immediately stunned.

Holy f**k!!!!!! It's Great God Iron Bull!!!! How the hell did Frost Blade even manage to rope someone like that in? With all the nonsense that these clowns had been spewing without looking at the guild list they might have already offended him!
Suddenly Fearless remembered the dreadful image of the poor Silver Wolf King's demise and couldn't help but shudder.
Thinking of this Fearless immediately said: "Enough! Our new member is an expert!" Although Fearless really wanted to watch Wang Yu deal with these idiots, he still did his duty as a guild leader and reminded the rest.
"Expert? Hah! Didn't you see the World Leaderboards? Which one of the players in this guild isn't an expert? Come on then! Let's see how many rounds you can last against this grandfather!" A Pugilist called Vainglory disdainfully said.
His words stunned Wang Yu momentarily. After he recovered, Wang Yu turned to the nearby Frost Blade and asked: "Who is this guy? He really lives up to the word vain in his name!"
"Just a stupid kid. You can ignore him." Frost Blade replied as he opened the guild chat and said: "Hey brat! Why don't go open up the World Leaderboard yourself and see who's the top player!"
Suddenly the guild chat went completely silent. The rest of them really did go and check the World Leaderboards.
With some help from Frost Blade, Wang Yu found a button and also opened up the World Leaderboards and realised his name was right at the top!
Iron Bull: Pugilist - LV 15 (Hidden jobs are not displayed so Wang Yu appears as a Pugilist)
Spring Halo: Dark Shaman - LV 15
Boson: Weapons Master - LV 14
Fearless: Bishop - LV 14
Frost Blade: Assassin - LV 14
Vainglory: Fighter - LV 14
2012: Archer - LV 14
Ming Du: Lightning Wizard - LV 14
Crotch Lord: Guardian - LV 13
Nine Solitary Spears: Crusader - LV 13
Quan Zhen Sect only had a small number of members, but each one was on the top of the Leaderboards! Especially Spring Halo who was a Dark Shaman. This was a control focused job that had been considered even worse than the Pugilist by some players and yet it was second on the Leaderboards!
After a brief silence, Spring Halo was the first to speak up. "Oh? So it was honourable Brother Bull who joined our Quan Zhen Sect! A talented man naturally chooses a patron of integrity after all. It seems like we all have the same ideals!"

"Urgh…" Seeing what Spring Halo had said Wang Yu felt rather distraught and almost deleted his message instead of sending it.
When Boson saw that Wang Yu had joined the Quan Zhen Sect he excitedly said: "Brother Bull if you wanted to join us you could've just told me! You should've said something earlier!"
"Boson and Fearless are the kind of friends that would even share a bed! The closeness of their friendship isn't something normal people can hope to understand!" Frost Blade added after Boson had spoken.
"I'm just here to casually play the game." Wang Yu awkwardly replied as though he had misunderstood something. At the same time he thought to himself: "I'm just in this game to sell equipment and earn money for my family… If I knew you guys were like this I wouldn't have joined even if all of you beat me to death!"
"Che! What's so great about being so high level? The most important thing in this game is your own technique!" Seeing everyone else being so enthusiastic and welcoming towards Wang Yu had made Vainglory feel jealous.
Kids being kids would naturally love to compare and compete with each other. What's more, the both of them were Pugilists yet Wang Yu had suppressed him on the World Leaderboards. It was very natural that someone so arrogant like Vainglory would harbour ill feelings towards Wang Yu.
Hearing his words, the others immediately started to get excited and said: "Oh! Little chicky are you upset? If you're upset then just fight it out!"
The guild really was lawless. Instead of trying to calm him down and reason with him they were adding fuel to the fire! They really did just want to watch something interesting happen…
"That's right that's right! Little chicky against Iron Bull! Iron Bull's odds are 1 to 1 and little chicky's are 1 to 10! Come and place your bets!" Instead of doing his job as the guild leader, Fearless had instead started taking bets!
"I'll bet on honourable Brother Iron Bull then!"
"I'll bet on Brother Bull as well!"
Everyone started placing their bets on the fight one by one.
Seeing that everyone felt that he was weaker than Wang Yu, Vainglory was naturally incensed and angrily shouted in the chat: "You guys dare look down on me? Iron Bull, do you dare to fight this grandfather one on one?"
Hearing this Wang Yu felt slightly conflicted. "This… this isn't too good...We're all one guild… I'm afraid that…"
"Huh? You don't dare to? Did you guys hear that? He said he's afraid! Hahahaha!" Vainglory mocked.
"Fists are blind! I'm just afraid that I mitt accidentally beat you to death! It isn't easy to level up so you should treasure your levels!" Wang Yu explained.
What Wang Yu had said was true. Pugilists had the lowest health in the game. Even after advancing to a Fighter this fact still remained the same. At level 14 if Vainglory didn't add any points to vitality he would only have about five or six hundred health!
Using the Independent mode, all of Wang Yu's attacked exceeded 100% perfection would be dealing true damage! A single punch from Wang Yu would have been more than enough to beat Vainglory to death!
Since they were in the same guild it wouldn't be nice if Wang Yu had beat him up that badly.
Wang Yu had said these words with kind intentions. However to those that actually heard it, it sounded incomparably arrogant!
"I'm afraid I'll accidentally beat you to death!" These words were truly outrageous. What kind of courage did it take to say something like that?
Finally Vainglory couldn't take it anymore and started shouting: "F**K!!!! What bullshit!!!! You dare say these arrogant words to me?? That's it! Come to the city now! We're going to fight to the death!"
"You better think through this carefully! Going all out is only respectful to your opponent, so martial artists don't give any chance when duelling. If we really fight, I won't show you any mercy!" Wang Yu replied.
"Hmph! Just come then! I want to see what kind of abilities the top expert has!" Vainglory coldly retorted.
"Ok then. I'll be over in a moment." Wang Yu blandly replied.
After exiting the guild chat, Wang Yu caught a glimpse of the extremely moved Frost Blade and gloomily asked: "The tension was so thick just now! Why didn't you try to ease it?"
"When you deal with kids you can't indulge them. Since he wants to fight then just beat him until he relents!" Frost Blade said with a huge grin.

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
