Game Over Not Over for Me novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Solo Player

The Skyspire Fenrir slayed the Flame Serpent in front of it and opened the video.

“Such high damage.”

This was the Skyspire Fenrir’s first reaction.

But then, it froze in place.

“How could anyone move so smoothly with kiting at this stage?”

Skyspire Fenrir was an archer, one of the top–tier archers in the game.

It was naturally clear how difficult it was to achieve smooth kiting in Twilight of the Gods.

“Which guild is this person from? We need to recruit them into our guild. I’ll offer them an annual salary of 10 million.”

After a brief shock, Skyspire Fenrir quickly began thinking of ways to recruit this player.

“Alright, Guildmaster, I’ll ask around.”

At this moment, Alden was quickly harvesting the Twisted Treants.

The drop rate in Twilight of the Gods was indeed modest. After hunting so many Twisted Treants above his level, Alden had only received the previously dropped Revival Ring.

Ding.

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, and equipment dropped.

Treant Shoulder Guard: Common.

Requirements: Level 10 for all classes.

Effect: Health +200.

Durability: 100.

“Do you want this?”

Alden looked toward Skyspire Shield.

“Yes, but Frost King, the price for this piece of equipment can’t be the same as the ring, right?”

“Three thousand.”

Alden spoke indifferently.

Shoulder guards were common equipment that appeared more frequently, so naturally, they couldn’t be priced as high as the ring.

“Deal.”

In reality, money would become less useful in the future. The only reason Alden needed money now was to meet the demands of his upcoming life.

Once he had enough to spend, he would consider trading equipment for in–game items.

Just then, the system announcement rang.

“Server–wide Announcement: Congratulations to player Fury Warlord for being the first to reach the main city. Reward: Gold +500, a Black Iron–class set for the player’s class +1, a class skill book +1, and Attribute Points +50. This announcement is made with the hope that all players will continue to strive forward.”

“Server–wide Announcement: Congratulations to player Fury Warlord for being the first to reach the main city. Reward: Gold +500, a Black Iron–class set for the player’s class +1, a class skill book +1, and Attribute Points +50. This announcement is made with the hope that all players will continue to strive forward.”

“Whoa!”

Skyspire Shield checked the time. “So fast! That guy, Fury Warlord, has already hit level 10.

“What’s more, the rewards for being the first to reach the main city are so generous.”

Alden didn’t care at all. These rewards were insignificant to him.

The Rookie Village was a treasure trove.

To be powerful and leave the Rookie Village like this, it would be impossible to return later.

In his past life, countless people who had learned about the hidden benefits of the Rookie Village regretted not staying longer.

“Frost King, keep going.

“By the way, Frost King, you’re so skilled. Which guild do you belong to?”

“Solo player.”

“Solo?”

Skyspire Shield was surprised. With that skill level, Alden didn’t look like a solo player.

But in an instant, Skyspire Shield understood the reason.

Alden must be an ancient god!

In the past, some of these ancient gods dominated PC games. Their game sense was outstanding, their skills and strategies clear, but because of their age, their hand speed couldn’t keep up, and they were gradually eliminated.

However, Twilight of the Gods was a full–sensory virtual MMORPG, so everything was data–driven and wouldn’t be affected by hand speed.

Yet, seeing Alden focus on monster hunting, Skyspire Shield wisely decided not to say anything further.

Ding! “You’ve reached level 4, Attribute Points +5.”

Alden added all of his Attribute Points to attack speed, boosting it by 0.1 to reach 0.93.

At the same time, Alden’s health points increased by over a thousand, and his basic attack damage was again boosted.

Currently, it still took five arrows to take down a Twisted Treant.

But he was getting closer and closer to being able to kill one with just four arrows.

Skyspire Shield watched as Alden leveled up, silently envious.

Most of the experience points were going to Alden, so leveling up wouldn’t be easy for him.

“Finally out.”

Alden looked at the Twisted Treants ahead of him and smiled contentedly.

Twisted Treant (Elite): Level 10

HP: 5,700/5,700

+10 Free Coins

Attack: 49

Skills: Revival, Vine Whirlwind, Vine Bind.

The Elite–level Twisted Treants now had an additional crowd control skill.

“Frost King, do you want me to tank for you?”

Thanks to his wealth, Skyspire Shield was a pure tank build with several low–level items. His attributes, in his own opinion, were quite luxurious.

“No need.”

Alden responded indifferently, then started attacking.

The output was steady, but killing an Elite–level Twisted Treant still took 13 arrows.

With Alden’s kite strategy, it was already dead whenever a Twisted Treant approached him.

Ding! “You killed an Elite–level Twisted Treant, experience points +321.”

Alden smiled in satisfaction. Hunting elite monsters provided much more experience.

Even Skyspire Shield, who was in Alden’s party, gained 32 experience points.

One, two, three.

Alden’s health kept stacking up.

At that moment, system announcements started to sound one after another.

Players from various guilds reached level 10 and entered the main city, with some solo players as well.

Skyspire Shield was extremely envious but could only watch.

“My losses are huge.”

Alden remained cool, ignoring Skyspire Shield’s comments.

Just then, another piece of equipment dropped.

Treant Armor (Elite): Level 10

Effect 1: Magic Resistance +10

Effect 2: Health +500

Durability: 100

“Wow, Frost King, is this one of the sets you discussed?”

Alden nodded and tossed the gear to Skyspire Shield. “If you hunt enough Elite Twisted Treants, you’ll complete a full Treant set.”

Skyspire Shield’s eyes lit up. “Frost King, you’re awesome. I thought you were going offline earlier and feared you’d run away.”

Alden facepalmed but said nothing more, continuing to grind monsters.

He kept grinding for another hour.

One great feature of the Rookie Village was that the monsters respawned quickly. Otherwise, Alden’s insane killing spree wouldn’t have been sustainable.

Ding! “You’ve reached level 6, Attribute Points +5,”

In just one hour, Alden had gone from level 4 to level 6, increasing his attack speed from 0.93 to 1.13.

Meanwhile, Alden had also collected three pieces of Treant set gear, all of which were given to Skyspire Shield.

A player could wear up to 13 pieces of equipment.

The main categories are boots, a heart shield, armor, a helmet, a cloak, rings (pair), a necklace, shoulder guards (pair), and pants (pair).

Skyspire Shield already had four pieces, but it still needs nine more.

This set was the strongest shield warrior set available before level 20, without question.
