Advertisement
Arrived in the village, Rimba reported to the Militia Captain and received his reward before going back to the orphanage. Stopped by the butcher, he give some of the wolf and rabbit carcasses to be shared with the other villagers for some extra reputation in the village. In a remote village such as Suram, the villagers are helping each other instead of selling and buying things since they can get their basic needs from their surroundings. Money have less value since there are almost nothing to spend the money for in the village. When they need to buy something from the nearest town, they will bring some products and sell it there first for some money before buying anything.
In the orphanage, he gave the meat to Sarah to complete his quest. Rimba then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and practicing his Cooking skill, he found Natalia already in the kitchen so they worked together. After together with everyone in the oprhanage, Rimba went to Olaf's place and doing some training before joining the nightwatch. Now that he already recognized by the villagers and militia, the nightwatch become a quest for him which reward him some reputation in the village. When dawn arrived and he completed his nightwatch quest, he went for a walk around the village, a habit he pick from his training with Olaf. With the extra login hours from using personal capsule, Rimba now can spend another day in-game where he managed to complete another Patrol, Meat Collecting and Nightwatch quests before logging off.
Arang arrived in the gathering hall and got introduced as the new assistant replacing Lisa. After the gathering he talked with the Head Instructor and learned about his duty which basically just compiling the reports from the other instructors, prepare some documents and make necessary arrangements for the Head Instructor when needed. He is also allowed to join the training or conduct his maintenance duty if he is free during the day. Happy with the arrangements, Arang spend the day adapting with his new duty. He also receive a message from Lisa which is basically what he already learned from Seri, except another fact that she also asked his father some monetary compensation for him which she already transferred.

Arang checked his bank account and saw IDR 500,000,000,- has been added to his account. Surprised with amount, he messaged Lisa if she actually made a mistake in transferring the money and that he doesn't dare to accept that much which Lisa simply replied with, "It's okay."
Feeling grateful, and mostly excited, Arang transferred IDR 300,000,000 to Kasih for her treatment and also the orphanage. Knowing Kasih, he worried that she won't use the money for treatment but instead spend most of it on the orphanage. The remaining IDR 200,000,000 will be his emergency fund if something happened with Kasih or the orphanage.
2 weeks has passed since Arang become assistant, he managed to avoid ranked last and freed from the maintenance duty.
Inside "BORNEO", since Rimba not dare to leave the village by himself he kept doing the patrol, meat collecting and nightwatch quest alongside his daily hunting and training. Rimba has just returned from doing his patrol quest when he saw a lot of people camping just outside the village. There is a flag with a bright sun symbol on it raised in the middle of the camp. Remembered that the flag is the symbol of Lampu Kingdom, he realized that the extermination army has returned. He passed the camp and was going to enter the village when he heard someone calling for him.
"Hey, are you also a player? Did you started here?" A boy around the same age with Rimba has called for him. He is accompanied by another 2 players, both male and similar age.
"Yes, I started here. My name is Rimba, and you guys are?" Rimba replied to the boy.
"I'm Bodenk, a Priest. This quiet guy here is Tole, a Knight. And he is Pay, a Hunter." The guy introduced himself, then pointed to Tole on his left and Pay on his right. Both his friend only nodded and keep quiet.

"Are you guys already finished the extermination? Or are you just going to re-supply and take a break here?" Rimba asked their situation.
"We already finished. Now the army leader is inside, reporting to the village chief. Maybe we will stay for a few days before returning to the capital. Are you coming with us? I don't think there is a future for you staying in this backwater village, you can join our team too if you want. As you can see, we are lacking a magician." Bodenk give some explanation before inviting Rimba, who he thought as a Mage since he wear a Mage Robe and holding Magic Rod, to join his team.
"I see. Yes, I planned to leave this place but I don't know when yet. Thanks for your invitation, but you see, I'm not a Mage. I don't even have a class yet." Rimba answered while scratching his head bashfully.
"Huh? You still don't have a class? Well, you can still join us though and later get your class in the capital." Bodenk seems surprised but still act friendly and keep his offer. "(I recall this backwater village doesn't have a Mage, it's no wonder he still not getting his class yet since no one here can give him the class. Well, we can bring him to get class change. That way he will be more grateful and easier to rope in as our team member)"
"Thanks, I appreciate it. Let me consider it first, I will inform you tomorrow." Rimba then proceeded to add them as Friend which they accepted.
Suddenly there is a commotion from inside the village, Rimba can hear some people shouting and crying. Some militia also can be seen running toward the village center.

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
