MONSTER MMORPG: Mayhem Online

123 Chapter 0123

Quintster Stadium

"Woah, look at that. Viking took down that deer with a single strike."

The audience sitting in the stadium was looking at all the things going inside the map in real time in front of them.

"I don't care, he's so rude."

A girl in the audience pouted. She couldn't bear to see her new crush getting trash talked by that rude fellow.

"Haha, but his strength speaks for him. Look at his body, he looks like a professional wrestler."

Soon, the event with the dozen deers surrounding the players played out, and people who were focused on other player's matches couldn't help but take glances, wondering how the players would get out of this adversary.

But to their pleasant surprise, the bunch of deers were solely defeated by one player.

"Fucking awesome! That's the power of a level 0? Hahaha! He's too awesome."

"Just look at those slick moments. He doesn't even blink while gutting out the monsters."

"I know right? He's like a butcher haha."

"Fuck, look at those merciless eyes. I'm feeling tingly."

Guys admired Shura's smooth moves and girls felt shivers running in their bodies. They couldn't help but feel that Shura's cruel actions were cool.

"Ah, look. It seems like someone found a good weapon."

Someone from the audience shouted, and people looked at a screen inside of a cave. A person was standing with a dazzling weapon in their hand.

"It's Iqol."

Iqol, Mayhem's most famous solo player. He wasn't in the top ten of the overall ranking, and he wasn't affiliated with any guilds either, but his fame was spread far and wide. He was said to have top notch skills and even rankers above him feared him.

"He's level zero, just like us. Let's grab that weapon."

"Yes, there's no need to be afraid, we are so many, and he's alone. He can't possibly win."

He swung the weapon coolly to get a feel, before butchering down the players who were trying to attack him to steal his weapon.

—-Sssssk!

The audience took in a cold breath seeing his merciless slaughter. They felt as if Iqol would butcher people even outside the game if they pissed him off.

After the complete wipe out inside the cave, Iqol walked away and the screen changed to a different location with other players fighting an Ostrich Monster.

"I hope Shura doesn't meet Iqol…"

One of the fangirls couldn't help but comment. To her, Iqol seemed like a merciless butcher who had been given the golden butchering equipment, and Shura was still weaponless. It wouldn't be a fair fight.

***

"....."

"He really did kill them all on his own…."

One of the players commented as he saw Shura taking down the last deer without any effort.

He couldn't believe what he had just seen in front of his eyes. They were struggling to kill a single deer and Shura killed a dozen of them, even making it look so effortless.

'People fucking died to these small fries?'

The player couldn't help but think.

Then his eyes suddenly spotted a deer running towards their group from far away.

'Fuck it.'

He was one of the players who was lucky enough to get his hands on a hunter's blade. He took the hunter's blade in his right hand and rushed towards the deers while roaring loudly.

The deer ran even faster when he saw someone rushing towards himself, preparing his horns to puncture the ribs of the person.

But before the deer could hit the person, the person slid down, the dagger in his hand held tightly by both his hands as he stabbed at the deer's neck from below, and taking the knife all the way towards its belly by using all his force, a large amount of blood and guts falling on his face before the deer turned into ashes.

—-Huff! Huff!

The person started huffing not due to exhaustion, but due to the excitement and fear that he felt at the same time.

[You have defeated a Deadly Deer.]

[You have gained 12 EXP.]

[You have gained '1' Dungeon Point.]

The person couldn't believe he had just attempted something so brave, and even pulled it off. As he looked back, he could see the genuine surprise on the faces of his fellow players that he was fighting with, even Viking looked a bit taken aback.

He couldn't help but feel a bit giddy inside.

But suddenly, the faces of the players looking at him in surprise turned into horror.

He was confused for a split second before immediately turning back. A deadly deer was as close as inches away from him already, about to puncture his face.

'Huh. So I'll just remain a one time wonder?'

In that split second, the person had imagined himself getting logged out, and being forgotten by everyone. After all, there were seven thousand players and killing one deer alone was just a small feat that will be forgotten in hours, heck maybe even a matter of minutes.

But he didn't feel any pain the next moment. He opened his eyes that he had subconsciously closed, and realised that the deer in front of him stood still.

Looking in front of him, he noticed that a guy with demon-like looks yet a handsome face was standing just behind the deer, holding its tail with his claw-like palm.

The deer was unable to move an inch forward, so he couldn't help but look back angrily at the man that had stopped him from attacking his prey.

But what ensued shocked everyone to their cores.

The demon-like man slapped the deer on his ass tightly, and the deer turned into ash without any blood or visible damage to it. The man dropped the tail fur that got stuck in his hand by slapping them together before offering his hands to the person who was still on the ground in shock.

"Huh? Oh, thank you."

The person belatedly realised the gesture of goodwill, and took the hand to stand up.

"What you did earlier was awesome, Drill."

The person named Drill looked at the man in front of him, someone who almost everyone knew of, the first legendary class holder, Shura.

Drill had never ever imagined that he'd encounter Shura in person, much less Shura taking his name from his mouth. For Drill, Shura was an existence high in the sky along with people like Abel, Crestfallen, Elexis and such.

"I–I. Thank you. Although it was nothing you can't do."

"No, I wasn't talking about your skills. I was talking about your courage haha."

Shura replied in a friendly manner, making Drill at a loss for words. He was still processing the situation in his head while trying his best to maintain that awkward smile on his face.

'Why is he talking to me? Oh my god, I'm talking to Shura! Did he just compliment me? It's high time I wake up! Mom slapped me awake!'

"Are you in a guild, Drill?"

"Huh? Ah! N-no. I still haven't gotten the chance yet."

"Would you like to join my guild?"

"For real?"

"If you're okay with it, why not? Add me as a friend. I'll send you a guild invitation when the tournament is over."

"..."

Drill silently tried to comprehend this unprecedented situation.

"".....""

The other players who were seeing this were even more speechless.

What was going on? Was this really a tournament? Or was it a guild scout event?

"Hahahaha!"

Viking who saw all this, started laughing loudly after a while.

'I have misjudged this guy.'

Viking couldn't help but think. He was very angry at Shura, because he seemed like someone who lived off on his luck. No, getting the legendary class wasn't the luck that Viking was jealous of, it was the luck of being in the same room as his sexy guildmaster!

He was filled with unending envy towards this Shura that their guildmaster described as 'Charming, Interesting and ready to be eaten'.

But seeing the situation now, he realised that Shura wasn't the asshole that he had taken him to be.

Shura looked at his direction confusedly because of his wild laughter, and his eyes matched with Viking's.

He stared back at Viking just because he had been rude to him for no reason at all, and Viking couldn't help but laugh more.

'What a weirdo.'

Shura thought inwardly and then looked at his today's conquest, Drill.

He got a strong feeling as soon as he saw Drill's determined rush towards the deer, and how he killed the deer just due to the belief that I was able to kill them.

Shura could almost hear a voice in his mind, screaming to him to 'get him'.

"Hey, let's party for this event if you don't mind."

Shura asked Drill, and Drill looked at Shura with a blank expression as he enthusiastically nodded his head. He didn't know which god had blessed him, but he was sure to not miss out on this golden chance.

***

"Kyaaa, so cool!"

"Did you see that? He saved that poor player."

"I know right? He's just so kind!"

"Ah! He spanked the deer."

"So strong… I wish he would spank me too…"

"What? Do you wanna die that badly?"

The audience, especially the girls, were going nuts due to 'Shura's act of kindness'.

Drill was conveniently turned into a poor damsel that was saved by the knight Shura.

"Fuck, did he just got asked to join Shura's guild?"

"I didn't even know that Shura had a guild! Where the fuck do I sign up?"

"That Drill guy is so lucky, I wish I was in his place. I wouldn't have to worry about anything for life then."

And just like that, Shura gained a partner for the raid event, and a fame that was ever growing.
