Dark Storm in System World

Clint Hein is an employee of a gaming shop. While giving the full service to customers, he sees events taking place in the world with a television attached to the top of the wall inside the shop.

In his view, most was about the game that was famous in the world. While no customer comes to him, watching television is his only way to lose his boredom.

(Television)

Host: The game System World has reached 1.6 billion players. Nearly 44% of the players here are rich and able to buy luxuries. Let's talk to one of the developer's System Word, Mr. Kahn Mu.

A professional man wearing a glasses sat beside the girl host.

Host: Mr. Khan, what else can the players expect from this game especially in those who haven't been able to play this very exciting and awesome game?

Mr. Kahn Mu: First of all we thank you for playing and supporting this game. In later updates the game will be more exciting because we have many features that are placed on it. Hope you like it...

While he watched his mind suddenly turned to the situation he faced.

System World ah. Of the billion people playing almost half are rich. That means I have nearly half to 100% rich like them. If I earned big money, I can help more my family. All their debts to Mr. Mark would be eliminated and we would have to build a business. But how do I do it? How do I start? I then thought carefully after I worked.

A young man came to him to buy.

Young man: Bro, can you know what good Virtual Machine can I use?

Clint: Sure, you're customer so no problem. Can I figure out what game do you want to play?

Young man: What game would I like more? Of course is the most popular virtual game so far, System World.

The System World is increasingly rising today. Almost every day there are customers who are buying here at the shop because of the famous game. I don't know how good the developers are.

Clint: You can use the DSVR Machine. It is safe and proven by many engineers and doctors. It is Compatible with the game you want. This is also the latest machine so this quality is better than the previous one.

Young man: Wow! I'll buy it.

Clint: It cost 5,000 U.S. Dollars. But you can also pay it through down payment with 5% interest, it's good because it has 1 year warranty.

Young man: Nah, I'll pay it now.

Clint: Ok then... Luke someone likes to buy a DSVR Machine. Please help. Sir I can get your payment to give you the receipt.

Young man: No problem.

After briefly talking, Luke was immediately acting out, also a employee and a friend of Clint, to help the customer.

Many hours passed, Clint's work had also ended. When she was walking outside she always had with her friend Luke. They talk always and if boring whether they're going to random restaurants to eat.

“Tap...tap...tap” Their feet sounded as they walked down the side of the road.

Luke: Earlier I noticed you bro. You look deep in your mind earlier as you watch television. It could be...

Clint: You're right, I got a bit of interest in the game.

Luke: WHAT A MIRACLE! When I talk to you about the game you quickly change the topic because you are not interested. Now want to enter the world of gamers? THAT’S ABSOLUTELY A MIRACLE!

Clint: Whatever. Many of them have been rich because of that game. I will also try it. Who knows, that someday I’ll become rich.

Luke: That’s true bro! In fact I make money in the game.

Clint: Really bro!? How do you earn!?

Luke: Right now I have little income so I don't even stop working in the game shop. I've been playing for almost a year and until now I'm still looking for ways to earn a big one.

Clint: Bro, why do you want to play?

Luke: Our world is different today than in the world of game. I want to play because I'm so happy. I wanted to be happy with my other friends in that game. And last you can earn money. You can enjoy yourself while earning money in the future.

Clint: Is it possible for me to be someone who doesn't know by majority and doesn’t have enough money?

Luke: You’re smart bro so you can do it. It’s hard at first but you will used to it in the future.

Clint: Then I’ll trust every of you words bro. Anyway, what level are you now?

Luke: I’m level 75. It's hard to increase your level but it's only worth it if you're at level 100 or up. Player who is on level 100 and upper has a high possibility of earning big money.

Clint: Bro, can you give all the information you know in the game?

Luke: Hahaha! Only you were my only friend here in the world of reality so no worries bro.

Clint: Nice, nice. (Thumbs up)

The conversation continue to flow ay they walk. Luke provided the information with Clint. For many talks, they even went to a restaurant to be there to have fun and share many information and ideas. Afterwards, they parted their way to their homes.

Clint: See you later.

Luke: Okay bro, take care.

‘Hein’s House’

Clint: Ma, I’m home.

Mom: Oh my, you’re here. Dress up and get to eat.

Clint: Ok Ma.

Clint went to the second floor and there he got dressed. He prepared a pencil and a piece of paper to change the plan. The plans he made that were attached to his wall were removed immediately.

Right now I have enough money. Sufficient to meet the needs of my family and myself for three months.

Right now, I need to buy VR machines through down payment. Once I buy and install it, I can use it immediately and enter the game.

While the machine is still out of the house, I'll try to master my swordsmanship into our basement. Luke said, I can move freely inside the game. That is, even techniques I learned can bring inside the game.

He wrote down his own requirements in a notebook and some attached on a blank wall. He came down to eat, rested a half-hour and went to the basement to practice.

Using a wooden sword, he swing in it, along with his feet dancing through the wind. The strength of his swing yields strong winds. Through hardcore practice, his brain remains in total concentration.

It’s been a long time to use all the techniques that I had learned when I was a kid.

The twin black dragon and searing dance techniques were one of the strongest techniques ever recorded in the ancient history. The two techniques stay in life at the hands of the Hein and Basco family. It was divided into two because it was difficult to study. But with my desire to learn, I learned so successfully and entered a swordsmanship tournament. I became a champion and got a gold medal. Afterwards, I learned some interesting techniques.

A destructive power of one swing caused by my twin black dragon can deal a large damage to my enemy. According to Luke, the more power you apply in your melee weapon, more damage dealt to enemies. Through my footsteps with searing dance, I can add more force with my sword.

The next day Clint went to the shop game to leave the job. He told him about his boss and gave a resignation letter. At the same time he bought a DSVR machine, Luke became delightful that he himself delivered the machine to Clint's home and installed it.

The machine installation process is so long that I can practice first in the basement. Because I don't have a job, I have to work my plans. No longer should I go wrong, if no process happens in three months, it will become difficult for me since I do not have job now.

Clint went down the basement to practice the other techniques he might use in the game.

The strength of my twin black dragon would have no significance if I had slow movement and attack speed. I would look at what the master had taught me when I was a young boy.

My master used silent wind technique where I learned it to him. I can move quickly for the least distance and I can strike as quickly as a tiger. If the tiger was attacked you, being wounded by a scratch through its nail can cause 3 to 5 wounds. Also on the pace of silent wind I can hit 3 to 5 times over a single swing.

Whenever I encounter a strong enemy with high physical power, my defense will be meaningless. It would be better to block and parry those attacks. However, dodge is also important to use my counterattack.

With my night eye technique that I had learned to my other master, I can make a quick decision and response in a single second. With that, seeing normal attack in a second make my body to move and dodge it and use my twin black dragon and silent wind for counterattack. Even if I am beginner in that game, my swordsmanship in reality is in professional level. This will be my good advantage.

Throughout the week he had focus his day in practice. He started in the morning until the night. Until the day that the installation of DSVR Machine had ended.

Luke: Bro I’m done. You can play now.

Clint: Thank you for your service bro.

Luke: No worries, just focus on your play and look to all surroundings there might be an opportunity to earn money.

Clint: Thanks for your help, I’ll see you in the game. I want to know what your username is.

Luke: Hahaha! It’s a pleasure to help you bro and by the way, my username is Delux. Please remember.

Clint: I’ll remember it. See you later bro.

Clint pressed the button next to the machine and opened up the machine with the helmet a modern chair. She sat down and put on a helmet. He immediately pressed the button inside to close the machine. The lights appeared as well as the helmet he wears. And suddenly a blue transparent screen appeared in front of Clint.

With twin black dragon reduce large amount of energy in the body. According to Luke, strength is a good recommendation to get fast killing. Also, I need stamina to prevent getting tired quickly. Simple running and walking can reduce a player's energy bar. Stamina also depends on what man is doing. If the person exercise in reality, it can add to the stamina of the player.

There is also a type of attack, low, average, and high damage where low damage has 75% in actual damage, 100% on average, meaning, the damage placed in your status is the damage you will give to the opponent and a high damage with 125% damage. The disadvantage of low damage is large because the damage you give will be reduced by 25%. However it’s effective to your body since it consume less energy.

Type of Blows:

Low = 75% of actual damage and low energy consumption

Average = 100% of actual damage and average energy consumption

High = 125% of actual damage and high energy consumption

The power of my twin black dragon was that I had no problem with strength but would still add sometimes. I will focus my status when it comes to agility and dexterity. The agility will embolden my searing dance and dexterity for attack speed using silent wind and concentration with the night eye.

I’ll add 1 point from strength, 1 point from stamina, 3 point from agility and dexterity. Continue

Select a continent.

Holy / Storm / Tower / Calamity / Metropolitan

There are four continents in the game but there are other continents that are hidden and haven't seen by many players until now. Last year, the Justice Guild, one of the recognized Guild in the game, was discovered a continent that called the Metropolitan. Currently, the game has five continents. Each continent contains many city similar to Earth’s continents. I intend to travel all and see every corner of them but I must first see which continent I go to.

The Holy and Storm was the famous for player to go to the right way and increasing the level at that place is easy. Even if you don't kill a monster you'll still get an experience because there are some quest that you just have to get a specific thing and you’ll get your reward.

The Tower Continent is a royal Continent where the entire continent is led by a government whose call is Nobles. They have regulations and policies thus players have difficulties on coming out and entering every city. The movement of each players is controlled so it is difficult to increase the level here.

The Continent of Calamity is a continent that any player does not know 98% of its interior. Many players visit here but when they die they will revive on a different continent it is either Holy or Storm continent. This continent is so hard to discover because you have only one life here and if you have wasted it then you’ll go at the similar continents.

Metropolitan Continent is a rich continent where cities has shops with the most expensive items. It also shows the famous auction house and most of the wealthy players go here.

If I go to the easiest continent, then it means a little chance to find opportunities because many players are here. I would try to go to Calamity because when I died I would also go to the similar continent. My decision has been made. I’ll choose Continent of Calamity.

He walked into the area and found nothing but ruined and old room. It’s empty except there is an elderly man sitting on the side of the wall. He approached him to talk.

This old man is a NPC.

Clint: Old man can I know what happened here?

Elder Lich: I am an elder lich in this city. The whole place was damaged because of the Angels and now, the whole city was led by the angel. My power was taken by the angel so I was old. My body was frail and I could not fight anymore. I have to teach you now before I disappear.

Clint: Is anyone else went here before me?

Elder Lich: You're the only first person to come here. In my few years seated here, you were the only first person I had talked to.

I feel sorry to this old man even though he is NPC.

Clint: Before we begin, do you have any weapon here?

Elder Lich: Go to that door and there you can choose a weapon. After you choose, go to the basement and I will teach you there. (Stand up) I'll go now to the basement.

Clint went to the weapons room and there he saw various types of weapon.

This room is too old. The weapons are all common.

After he had taken a sword he lifted it and looked upon his reflected face on his sword. Then he placed his sword to his right waist and went to the basement where the Elder Lich was waiting for him.

When he entered the basement he saw the breadth and the darkness of the place. Many broken puppets that maid in wood and steel also were scattered in the area.
