The way skills worked in 'Omega' , was you needed to either train in the skill manually yourself and learn to execute a skill flow, or upon slaying monsters or clearing dungeons you may get skill scrolls

Upon learning a skill scroll it would disintegrate but you could instantly learn a skill using a scroll .

But Rudra even at level 1 knew two skills he used extensively in his previous life

Sword skills

Thrust and slash

Rudra passed a swarm of players on his way to finding a wolf den

Wolves were a level 3 monster , generally noone at level 1 should engage with even one wolf much less a horde of 12 wolves , but Rudra was skilled enough to pull it off

He scouted his surroundings and hid behind a rock before throwing a small pebble in a bush near him

It alerted a wolf who came to check it out just as he peeked behind the bush

SLASH

-150 HP

The wolf died instantly .

But now 11 wolves were charging in on him

Rudra ran around obstacles to slow down

the wolves as he damaged then one at a time

-30,-30,-45....-30

It took him 17 minutes with his stamina fully depleted that he finally slayed all 12 wolves

???????????????????????? 12 ????????????????????????

+200% ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????

+20% ???????????????? ????????????????????

+1500 ????????????

???????????????????? ????????!

???????????????????? ????????!

???????????????????? ????????!

???????????????????? ????????!

???????????????????? ????????!

"hahahaha" , Rudra laughed madly one single escapade gained him 5 levels

and now had 25 unassigned stat points

Actually the distribution of points for the knights class was easiest. It was standard distribution a knight could learn magic and combat and also wield any weapon. They were the jack of all trades with all stats being balanced.

Hence he evenly assigned all points

He then went around to collect the loot

???????????????? : ???????????????????????? ???????????????????????? 30 ???????????????? ???????????????????? , 55 ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? , ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? , ???????????? ???????????????????????? ????????????????????

[Leather boots] (Bronze): beginers boots , gives very little protection to the feet , will wear out easily,

+2% agility

'Hmm , not bad for level 6 , thought Rudra and equipped the boots'. The loot was decent especially the 55 bronze coins ..... at this stage of the game the coins had immense value .

A commoner NPC would earn about 10-15 silvers a year , that was the average wage , hence the value of the 55 bronze coins was someones effort of a month.

This world followed the system where

100 bronze coins = 1 silver coin

100 silver coins = 1 gold coin

1000 gold coins = 1 platinum coin

While most players were stuck at level 2 or 3 , Rudra was aldready level 6 , he was now ready for the quest that would be given in blackwater village elder

He went back to the village , and went straight to the desolate hut at the edge of the village. That hut was visited by many adventurers , because its position was very peculiar , it stood out a lot. But noone could get a quest because you needed to be level 5 first.

But Rudra was still very impressed by these peoples gamers instinct to go to that house. On his way there he was adviced by a bunch of players

"Nothing there mate, no quests"

Rudra smiled at them but still went ahead

" Hmm, another arrogant prick who thinks that old man in the hut will give a quest, well we warned him"

As he entered the hut , he saw a old man looking at the wall , it was a painting of the blackwater village ,it was a very happy sight.

He turned to look at the adventurer and sighed

" You look troubled sir, may i help you with something?" Asked Rudra

" You are an exceptional adventurer, i see gaining strength soo fast. Perhaps you indeed have the capability to help me, come sit ill narrate you a story".

Rudra was glad , the quest will now happen , he took his seat

" Blackwater village was once a very prosperous farming village , with a beautiful lake in the village vicinity.... alas 50 years ago the lake water turned black and made this area unable to do farming..... I am the village chief for the last 60 years and am nearing my death , help me solve the mystery of the blackwater lake "

[Blackwater village quest] ( A ) : help the chief solve the mystery of the blackwater lake

Rewards :?????

Failure penalty : - 200 reputation within Hazelgroove kingdom,-3 level

Completion time : no set time

This was a terrifyingly difficult quest , at this stage of the game A ranked quests were not possible for players to clear , and the penalty was extremely heavy

a negetive reputation means you will not be welcome in any state owned facilities.

Rudra took in a deep breath and accepted the quest

This is because in his previous life a gamer named quazycupcakes took this quest and it took him 4 months to clear it. But upon clearing he was given the title of ' savior of blackwater village' and the title of a 'baron' in the kingdom.

These rewards were extremely important for Rudra hence he undertook this quest. Also , he aldready knew the method of clearing , hence he would clear it much faster, thats why he dared to accept.

He headed out to the wild as the secret of the blackwater lake was related to a hidden dungeon in the nearby forests.It was a rare hidden dungeon that would only activate when one found the hidden passage in a desolate cave in the forest

There was a necromancer in the cave practicing dark magic and the wastage of his experiments was drained into the underground drainage system which connected the blackwater lake , turning the entire lake black.

He needed to slay the nectomancer and expose his hideout to the village chief to complete the mission

Easy right?

No , the necromancer was a level 11 entity and the number of skeleton guards were unknown , The previous guy completed the mission at level 15 hence for Rudra to clear it was going to be a big challenge.
