Rebirth: Over the Horizon

Chapter 7 - Giant Chickens

"Um..A-Adam" Ariana called him with a gentle tone.

"It's nothing, It's just that your face is very beautiful even in a game" he smiled charmingly.

'Uh...My heart! How can he say embarrassing things so easily'

"Thanks" her eyes were on the ground, she felt embarrassed, but he didn't care about that.

"Oi! brother who is she, why is she worried about you, she even asked the same question in the university also,"

Hearing Jane's statements, made her feel even more embarrassed.

"She's my girlfriend," he said, pausing to look at her, "Ariana."

"What??"Jane was completely perplexed.

"No, no, no!" We've only been dating for a week."

"Do you dislike me, then?"

"No, it isn't it... I-I"

'Why do I feel like I'm the third wheeler?' jane pondered "Brother!" She humped and began walking in the opposite direction, saying, "I'm going, you chat to your sweetheart."

"EH!" 'Ah...now that she's gone, I feel even more awkward,' Ariana couldn't think of anything to say.

"Have you gotten a job, Ariana?"

"No, Adam I am participating in Launching event, Asura summoner"

It was the first grand event that took place in [Horizon] the winner will get Job: Asura summoner.

He remembered, the event was won by a player named Yuna, she was from China later she became vice-guild leader of Dragon pillars.

"Hum.. Don't you need a partner"?"

"That is the reason. Would you like to be my PARTNER!? "She unintentionally yelled the final words.

"Hey, what's up with that guy?"

"I believe they're fighting."

"Do they seem to be dating?"

The passersby began to talk about them. Adam was unconcerned about the whispers, and simply glanced at Ariana's cute-embarrassed panicked face.

"Sorry,"

"It's all right."

"Then ab-about he event"

"That's-" Ariana cut him off in the middle of his sentence.

"Never mind. You won't have free time I think, there is also graduation exams.." she started to say rubbish and imagined things on her mind.

Adam suddenly grasped her shoulders. "Aye," her body was so close Adam, Very close that she could feel his chest.

"I'll join in with you."

'I just nearly hugged him..my goodness, I nearly hugged college's charming Prince,' she gasped, surprised by his actions and without having time to recover.

"Then, I'll get going."

"Uh...okay," she waved her hand, and Adam simply smiled and walked towards the mage tower.

'I don't care anymore, I'm set on him,' she thought to herself as she logged out.

---

The participants who wish to take part in the event, shouldn't have attained level 2, therefore they could only win the event by relying on their partner.

Because they are competing for the role of a summoner, they must learn to rely more on their summons, which is why this event can only be won by a player who has a good friend or a devoted lover.

As he entered the mage tower, Adam thought to himself, 'I have to obtain, that job for Ariana.'

"Haha...Young magician, I was sure that you'll be able to finish it"

"Let me take you to the next floor," Lindon said as he took Adam to the next floor.

On the third floor, there were even fewer players. Adam walked right up to the NPC, who was seated in an old chair.

This time the NPC was an old man.

"Hoho...I am surprised young wizard that you came this far, Good luck young wizard don't disappoint me"

[Quest: Kajar wants you to use the basic skill of Water magic: 'Fluid shield' to block the strike of ten monsters.

Deadline:3Hr

Reward: You can proceed to the next floor.

Upon failure: You can't enter the mage tower for the next 3days]

The reward and deadline were the Same only the mission was different, this time he has to block the strike of ten monsters.

Adam headed towards beginner hunting ground.

---

The beginner hunting ground was full of a variety of players, from different countries, representing various classes.

[Horizon] only has one server for the entire world, and you couldn't modify your appearance. As a result, Adam could see any type of person, including Asians, Americans, and Africans.

There is only one sort of monster in beginner training: 'Giant Chicken.'

Unlike Goblins, Giant Chicken's attack pattern was simple: 'Leg smash' and 'wing slap.' Once it detects a player, it would repeat these two assaults.

As it was repeatedly murdered by gamers, the 'Giant Chicken' spanning rate was also extremely high.

Adam went towards a 'Giant chicken' which spanned just a sec ago, it also spotted Adam, he prepared to Dodge the first attack 'Leg Smash'

It was very obvious 'Fluid Shield' can't block its 'Leg smash' he can only block 'Wing slap' with his 'Fluid Shield'.

The 'Giant chicken' rushed before him, and lifted its leg to smash him, Adam rolled to the left and dodged the attack.

Adam deliberately rolled towards the left because it can slap him with ease.

As he expected, it raised its wing to give a blow to him.

"Fluid Shield"

[-5 MP]

As he said, water manifested before him in the shape of a shield and blocked the attack, it disappeared after only 2sec.

Fortunately, he already equipped himself with a spear in his left-handed he instantly stabbed the 'Giant Chicken'.

Even though the damage was less compared to the strike he gave from his right hand previously, it was enough to kill the monster.

[+EXP]

Sadly, the monster only gave 10 EXP.

[+Giant Chicken's Meat]

Adam repeated the same process at the next 'Giant Chicken'.

After fighting for 18 min he finally finished his Quest.

[Quest: Completed]

[You have reached LvL:4, you can learn one additional spell other than the basic spell of 7 affinities]

Adam plopped under a tree and breathed heavily 'My stamina is very weak' this time he only used a 1MP potion also it can be considered as useful.

Just as, Adam planned to leave the place he spotted a large number of players gathering at a particular area.

When Adam arrived, he was taken aback by what he saw, it was not because of the boss monster 'Double-headed Giant Chicken.'

He was stunned by the player who was fighting the boss monster.

'Holy F*ck! It is Azumi Chiyoko'
