《HERO CHRONICLES:》Chapter 11: [ Haven's Garden ]
Advertisement
As I stared at the green colored snake in front of me, I noticed that it was thoroughly enraged and the scales on its body began to shine.
Is it really that mad he couldn’t kill me just now? Its eyes are very scary as if it found out I was molesting its mother… eh? Wait no, what’s with that comparison! Shut up me…
The green scales were covered in a layer of faint yellow light and its speed suddenly increased as it crawls towards me. In an instant it had already pounced in front of me.
So fast!
In this crucial and dangerous moment, my heart instead became extremely calm. As if not feeling any pressure at all, my body and my mind moved like a breeze.
skill was working in my whole body, this kind of unique skill right now caused me to enter a state where my heart was like a still water and forced my brain to worked really fast.
Watching the widely stretched open mouth with its sharp fangs bearing against me, without being the slightest amount of fear coupled with my that gives me superhuman reflexes, my right hand raised while holding the short sword father gave me.
The was without a doubt fast and more powerful than me but neither could match my superhuman reflexes that could be labeled as a cheat.
Watching the snake rushing up, my body although I have very low agility at the moment, feels like I moved in a flash while only leaving an after image.
I only had one chance! If I couldn’t do it I can’t eat that delicious tempura again as well as the other delicious food I yet to be tasted.
“AS IF I’LL DIE BEFORE EATING ALL THE DELICIOUS FOOD IN THIS WORLD!!! YOU DAMN OVERGROWN WORM!!!”
Gritting my teeth, I raised both of my hands in the air while holding the short sword. Right now, because the snake is in the middle of pouncing at me, it was still hanging in mid-air with its mouth wide open.
“Way of the dragon God, First Form: Swallow beheading mountain
Haaaa…”
With a short shout I swung the sword horizontally. As if the sword responded, it was now covered with sky-blue light effect. It cut through the snake’s unprotected stomach and its blood scattered in the ground.
“Hiiishaaa!!!”
There was a low scream. The nearly 2 meter long snake body stiffened as if my attack just now has a effect. The snake’s bar decreased by 1/10 considering it was still a single blow against a high-level monster but still it was a shocking amount of damage.
CRITICAL HIT!!!
“hiishaaa!!!”
The
However, my sword didn’t stop. isn’t just a single attack but a continued and chained attack by the user to deal a huge damage or maybe deathly blow from the enemy. Wanting to be strong, I once studied in an ancient martial art dojo so more or less I’m more proficient in using swords although it would be better if what I’m using is a katana instead of this short sword because of its weight.
As if the system was assisting me through its programmed movements, my next slash moved with a speed that is normally impossible.
The sword sped off right from left and cut into the stunned body. In this state, I spun my body in a full circle and my next strike attack the enemy more deeply than before.
More notification windows appeared in my line of vision indicating a critical hit has been dealt and saying it doubled or tripled the damage I dealt.

“Hiiishaaa!”
As soon as the recovered from the brief stun-state, it glared at me with full hatred but it was too late.
My attacks had not ended yet, the sword that had been swinging left suddenly sprung above the snake’s head stunning it again and then I hastily turned my sword to swing it horizontally beheading the stunned
The short sword glowed with a sky-blue light flash in the air as if the sword was dancing leaving only blue lights in its path. This skill is like a combo skill for it also stunned the enemy before striking deathly blows.
These 5 chained attacks is all I can manage for now because of the type of sword I used is incompatible with it but fortunately its more than enough.
The bar above the head had disappeared without even a single dot left. Its long body fell limply in the ground then broke down and disappeared.
Maybe I’ll get a notification window saying ‘Mega-kill!’ or ‘God like!’
With the dangerous monster gone, I fell in the ground as I spit out the breath I was holding until now. That was dangerous, really dangerous. If I’d panic even a second I would be having a really hard fight or worst I might be killed. That snake’s level is several times higher than mine. Thankfully those hellish training that old geezer gave me in the past really paid off.
Ah now that I remember it, mother superior and that old geezer were always fighting because of me. Mother superior hates looking at me suffering because of those hellish training that’s why she always reprimand that old geezer to go easy on me.
“hehe…”
As I was laughing while remembering those old times, a notification window suddenly shows up.
Ding!
Skill Sword Mastery Acquired!
Ding!
System Notice: Congratulations, you have created a skill. As a result, when you have a sword equipped and drawn, your attack power is increased by 20%. Please choose a name for your skill!
My head went blank for a moment as I trembled with excitement. I can create a skill? More over I can make my martial art a skill? Damn, that’s so cool! Especially what’s with this power increased? If I equip a sword I would automatically gain a 20% increase in attack damage. Isn’t this skill a little too strong? Although 20% increase is not that great but later on when I gain more strength and power, this effect would be monumental. This buff is very good!
“Way of the Dragon God, First form: Swallow beheading Mountain”
Ding!

Remaining Bonus Attribute Points: 15
Do you want to allocate bonus attribute points?
Yes or No
It seems killing that snake make me leveled up. In this game, players will be given 10 attribute points in every stats for every level up, although only the [ Strength ][ Agility ][ Stamina ][ Wisdom ] and [ Intellect ] which is the 5 basic stats can gain the 10 points increased.
Other than the 10 fixed points in each basic stats, players also get 5 points for them to freely add whichever attributes they want and that's what you call the
I look at the bonus attribute points I’ve gain, a while ago when I first leveled up I didn’t use it because I still don’t where to put but now because of the fight I know what I need to do. Bonus attribute points followed this pattern 1 level=5 points, easy to understand right?
I put 10 points to my giving me 5 points more attack damage and 5 points to my . For now I need to boost my attack damage or else I will become a sitting duck if I ever fight a high-level monster.
Just a while ago, I noticed that it dropped something to the ground before it disappeared. I quickly stood up and rushed to the place where the snake disappeared. As expected, aside from the 1 silver coins in the ground, there are also three item.

These two pieces of equipment made me so ecstatic. A boots with a grade really dropped in the first battle, this is….hahaha this is so awesome!
In addition, apart from obtaining a pair , the also generously gifted me a ring with a of 10% every 10 seconds? Hahaha this is very amazing! Equipments with 1% or more effect is very rare and hard to obtain yet mine is a 10% ? This isn’t even enough to be called generous!
Happily equipping the ring and the boots, suddenly my defense and agility increased by several folds.
I cannot say for sure but I think I’ve already surpassed everyone today in terms of stats and equipment, maybe majority of players right now cannot be compared to me. hehe if this luck of mine goes on, without a doubt I will become this world’s strongest person. Although this world is a very big place, I won’t be arrogant and think I am the strongest under the heavens because nothing is absolute and someone out there will still be stronger than me.
Having self confidence is good, but overconfidence will lead to arrogance, and arrogance can lead to one’s own doom! Stay-low and be healthy!
---00---
After fighting the I felt very tired at the same time my stomach was starting to grumble. No, no, no that’s just my imagination. This isn’t anime you know; obviously there won’t be SFX behind me indicating I am hungry. This is a freaking virtual world, how can a virtual world produce a grumbling sound?
“Buuuurrrgh!.....”
My stomach suddenly produced that weird sound.
Caution: Due to continuously moving without eating and drinking for quite some time, satiety less than 5%! Moving became arduous as you no longer had any sufficient stamina.
What the hell!!!!
Did I suddenly cause this event? Did the world system--- no it must be that Lolita (self proclaimed) goddess!
“Hey! I know you’re listening, so if you heard me then can you please stop reading my mind. I also have my own privacy you know!”
Oh well, I could think about this later I had to think of what to do next.
For now I should find a safe place to rest and eat.
I started walking around the forest aimlessly looking for a safe place I can rest. Sometimes I encountered monster along the way but fortunately there are only slimes that has a low-level than mine.
Now then, fortunately I didn’t encountered high-level monsters like that snake but…well… what you call this….Uum…
I-I’m lost!...totally lost!
Just where the hell I am right now? I couldn’t believe it, I’m already a high school student yet I’m lost? How embarrassing!
After walking around the forest, I finally found the place I’m looking for.
“Wow!”
I muttered.
It was a very beautiful place!
The wild flowers and the blooming trees engulfed the every corner of my sight. Whenever a breeze passes by, it’s as if all the flowers danced together with it. The sight of hundreds or thousands of petals flying in the wind was spectacular.
“Woooow!”
I wish I can take a picture or two.
Who would know that inside this very scary and dangerous forest lays a very wonderful place like this. Truly a once in a lifetime sight.
Am I still inside the same forest?
I was now doubting myself if actually I was pulled in a different dimension or world without me knowing it.
Numerous petals dancing in the sky to the will of the wind, as well as the fragrant that came.
A very beautiful scenery straight out from a dream or a painting that is out of this world!
In the center of this flowery field was a very big and sturdy tree with its leaves was all dyed with a shade of purple.
Purple leaves, now that’s new!
As I stepped inside the arc looking gate a notification window suddenly showed up.
You are the very first player to discover and enter Haven’s Garden!

I scanned the flower garden.
A scene hard to find elsewhere on heaven and earth alike; filled with blossoming flowers and plants, while some insects that looks like dragonflies and butterflies lazily flutter around them. A magnificent picture filled with boundless serenity!
Aside from the colorful insects, there are also white colored deer with beautiful jade horns, small and adorable rabbits with different colors, birds with colorful feathers, and white horses with a single horn on its forehead.
U-u-unicorn? Really, that legendary and oh so famous mythical beast Unicorn?
Wow, just what place did I end up to? Well, best not to scare them, it seems this awesome and cool looking animals aren’t ordinary I bet they have higher level than mine because I can’t see their levels and only show ???
Ignoring them, I slowly walked towards the big sturdy tree and immediately lie down.
Ah this is heaven! Did I actually die battling that snake? I guess dying isn’t so bad if I can live in this kind of place.
As I was lying and enjoying the magnificent view and the fragrant smell that wafted in the place, I noticed that all the majestic looking animals in the surrounding raised their heads and looks at me.
Because I can’t feel neither hostility nor danger towards them, I simply ignore it and took the one in my inventory.
If only I still have those delicious food mom gave me, this heaven would be perfect! Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk.
