Easy Battle?

It was a very good place equally complemented by a beautiful weather. The rays of sun that burst through the small gaps lit up the whole cave. It would have been a very good place for a barbecue or for camping, if it wasn't for a certain serpent outside which also seemed to be interested (maybe for human barbecue) looking scarily at them, ruining the atmosphere as well.

They didn’t need to wait for long as their Mana would regenerate twice faster than the NPC’s and the game’s monsters. (Perk's of a player stipulated under 542A section, guideline of the Game Developing A.I)

Due to the players having more abilities, they can quickly regenerate their Mana from 0 to full in 5 minutes (time may increase with increase In Mana), their chances of survival increased by a good amount. If they could finish the serpent off quickly before it gets Small (If it can, A paranoia of Max), then they are on a well win situation....

"Bro, Why do you use customized skills, although it's effectiveness is nerfed by 15% rather than the System’s normal and stronger skills?", Lucifer asked as he went through an inventory check since they were currently resting (But still on guard). Although the Mana and Stamina gets quickly refilled, player’s need to rest after every battle, or 2 or 3 Battles (Depends on the individuals real mental strength and Will as well as the fight’s difficulty), since the realism is still 90% and at the testing stages, fighting for long period of time will take a toll on their mind, although the A.I will immediately cut the connection to the game and call the nearby paramedics for help in the case of over exhaustion, even though several Warning's are given to the player before they reach this point.

Grinning, Max said, "But this weak skill of mine has saved your sorry ass many times since we met two weeks ago". "The systems skills are not bad, but the customized skills gives me better flexibility as well as more options that could save our life in dangerous situations like these. Besides, we are bound to get atleast some new skills from the system at the later stages of the game".

"A gamer’s brilliancy, but your idea of spending our Beginner's money on buying huge backpacks and training later hunting and collecting loot and Herb's sure increased our levels as well as money faster by selling them", Lucifer noted.

"Sure, It’s the basics. I believed since the game followed realism and game laws, So it made sense to make some preparation and training, as well as some minor missions in the beginner's city, rather than foolishly going in the forest or spending too much time exploring without strength (which requires very good luck to survive like this), giving us a little boost ahead of noob players and expand our strength and abilities", said Max while looking at the serpent whose attacks caused minor damage to the rocky wall of the hole they were stuck in, while it’s structural integrity seemed to have remained surprisingly intact.

Max winced as he thought about the harsh death penalty imposed on the beta players on the 7th day of the beta period, which allowed for only 5 revives after death outside the nearest safe zone(Currently the Beginner's city and the newly liberated "Nine lives" city discovered and cleared of monsters by the player's of the ShadowWolf guild), with good equipments that is expensive at the city’s merchant shop (A very affordable price, we guarantee you..), would be dropped and you would revive at the nearest safe zone with the time for revival increasing by 60 minutes for each revival (An unbearable experience for a gamer) and random drop of money from the player, unlikely to be found again, making avoiding death a priority for players....

They both saw each other and understood that it was time for some action...

Author: Finally...

System: But it was you.....

Author: Silence, Don’t disturb my readers. It is time for action...

System:...

Max and Lucifer quickly used their  surroundings and started to use the terrain to their advantage as they kept on whittling the HP of the serpent and resting when their Mana was low and chugging Lesser HP potions and using Max's small Healing ability when their HP was low, Since the cruel system won't allow them invincibility here and they would take damage from it’s bite and other physical attacks...till a small chunk of HP was left of the serpent.

As they recharged their Mana and got ready to finish this relatively easy battle...

Max: Let us attack again in 3….2……1….

ROARRRRRRRR... .  ... . . .RRR...

The ground started shaking as a violent shiny monster with red eyes comes dashing towards them....

Max:.....Sigh.....Did I ever say it’s easy?.....
