Chapter 9 - Gone With The Wind

"Sure," Axir said while looking at Selena with a smile, not sparing a glance at Jason. "And I might have something good to give out as well."

Everyone's eyes shone.

"But not for everyone, of course. I didn't get that many good things."

"Enough with suspense," Selena said with a chuckle, nudging his nose with her finger. "Spill the beans already."

"First thing for my darling here." Axir snapped his finger as a beautiful wand with a split purple-blue gemstone appeared, encased by a metallic silver casting in a circulating pattern.

"Holy shit!" Yuta shouted. "It's a Legendary wand weapon!"

Selena's eyes shone.

[ Fluguire Thunder Wand ]

Rank: Tier-2 | Legendary.

Requirement: 30 Arcane, 30 Perception.

—> +20 Arcane.

—> Lightning and Water damage boost +30%

—> Fluguire's Requiem: Unleashes waves within 30 meters of the user that increases attack speed of allies by 30%, and decrease the attack speed of enemies by 30%. Cost: 10 Mana per second.

"This is crazy…" Lexi mumbled.

"The effect affects whole groups! We should find a good spot with monsters and farm the hell out to level up fast!" Kazuo excitedly said.

"Shut up." Aoi rolled her eyes." Axir knows the best. We'll follow his plans to level up faster."

"Right, right."

Axir chuckled. "I do have a plan. Now, the next item I can give is pretty good, too. Overall, it's a bit better than the Legendary wand because…it's a set of three pieces of equipment."

"What?!" Yuta shouted. "What is it?! I want it, man! Come on, man! I am the best player after you."

"My ass." Lexi snorted and smiled at Axir. "You can decide yourself."

"That's right. Axir will decide for himself." Jason nodded.

"Well, I am giving this to Selena, so it's up to her." Axir chuckled and took out it out.

It was a Tier-2 Uncommon Blacktooth Light Armor Set that was dropped by Murlock General.

He had no use for it, and he could use it to get some fun from these pieces of trash.

Selena hesitated. She didn't know who to give this set.

If she gave it to Jason or other boys, she felt that Axir might not like it.

'I have to choose between Lexi and Aoi, but…'

She decided to dodge this.

"Well, I think you should decide it, Axir." Selena smiled. "Since it's you who got it, you can decide."

"Alright then…I have an idea. You all start farming Flitz Ore in the area for one hour. Whoever collects the most Flitz Ore will get the set."

"And with my high level, I can sell the ore at a better price, so others will still profit, though I'll take 10% comission."

"Wait a second," Yuta said as he inspected the set. "This set consists of light metal armor, boots, and a whip! Clearly, it's not for priests, so I think we should give it to whoever is more suitable, no?"

"No," Axir flatly said. "There's no class in this game. It's the decks, so as long as you have more decks, like I obviously have, you are not bound by roles, so you can wear and wield any type of weapons and armors. In fact, the deck I got doesn't require any weapons, unlike the Warrior's Path deck that requires a sword to use their cards."

"I see…"

"What is that deck, Axir?" Aoi curiously asked, eyes twinkling. "It must be powerful if it helped you clear the level 20 dungeon."

"Yep." Axir smiled. "But I'll show you after an hour. Now off you all go to collect the Ore."

"Meanwhile, I'll take Selena on a ride." Axir looked at her and wrapped his right hand around her waist before using a card.

3-star card, Rocket Wings.

"Cya."

Others could only watch with envy.

Arriving next to Jason, who was watching them fly away, Yuta softly said. "Your girl is gone with the wind..."

Smack!

"You chicken bastard!"

"Let them fight, we go collect ore and get the armor set."

"Right!"

"Dickhead, let go! We have to collect the ore!" Yuta shouted while chaotically wrestling with Jason.

"Fuck you!"

Selena was feeling amazing.

"This is real…" Selena looked around within Axir's embrace, with her arms around his neck for support, causing her breasts to press on his chest. "We are flying."

"Yep." Axir smiled. He could feel Selena's heartbeat above the normal rate.

After all, they were flying for real!

"This world is so beautiful," Selena muttered.

'And your heart is just as dirty,' Axir inwardly said. 'But your figure is good, so I'll savour it to the fullest.'

"Axir, let's check out some areas!" Selena said as she looked at him with twinkling eyes, their faces extremely close, "If there are monsters, you can help me kill them and level up fast, right?"

"Of course, darling." Axir smiled and kissed her. "Let's get you leveled up."

Soon, they arrived in a level 20 area called Wild Blossom to the east of the newbie village.

This colorfully natural forest area had plant-type monsters only, ranging from level 10 to 20.

He showed the Blue-Eyed Enchanter deck to her, and in just half an hour, helped her reach level 10.

[ Congratulations to player Selena for being the second player to reach level 10! +50 Gold coins, +5 stat points. ]

"We finally got one more in the level leaderboard!"

"Hell yeah!"

"The rewards are lower for second, but it's expected."

"They halved, so I guess only the top three will get the reward, or maybe the top five."

"I am level 6…feels too far."

On the other hand, Selena was surprised at the notifications she got. Specifically, the notification about World of Belkris.

[ You may now use teleport and leave the beginner village area to enter the World of Belkris. ]

"Teleport? So we are in a beginner area?"

"Seems like it." Axir nodded, rubbing his chin. "I was also curious about it, so let's check this world." 

Of course. He already knew that the beginner villages were all the same, and they were a bunch of instances.

Axir took Selena on a ride past this Wild Blossom area and hit a wall. 

There was scenery past it, but it was just an illusion.

"Yep, so it's confirmed. There are only areas up to level 20 here. And at level 10, players can leave and enter the main game world, which is World of Belkris."

"Wow." Selena was amazed. "Let's get others to level 10 after they collect ore and go."

"Yep."
