“COVENANT.”
Silvia rolled the letters on the tip of her tongue. She looked over at the twin moons peeking above the orange sky.
It was going to be dark soon, and Pala was still nowhere to be seen.
Silvia was inside Euclid Village and was waiting for Pala, who was still setting up her pod. They were supposed to et early on, but Pala got delayed, and Silvia couldn’t wait for her friend and played the ga without her.
However, Silvia didn’t have the heart to leave her friend behind and decided to just finish all the quests in Euclid village and wait for her after.
Anyway, when Pala arrives in Euclid village, she’ll help her with her quests, and they could grind together in Euclid Forest after that.
Silvia has already spoken to all NPCs inside Euclid Village and finished all available quests, but there was still no sign of her best friend.
She knew of the ti difference between the ga and the real world, and there was nothing she could do but wait. She was also worried about Pala because she read in the ga’s limited guide that players were distributed across hundreds of newbie villages.
If Pala happened to be in another newbie village, Silvia would just go to her using the [Teleportation/Save Crystal] stationed at each entrance of a village, town, city, and dungeons.
These crystals would automatically teleport you to places that you have already visited. As long as you entered a place first, it would be available as a choice when you touched the crystal at every entrance of a place.
However, the hundreds of Newbie Villages were accessible in the list of choices in the teleportation/save crystal even if you hadn’t entered the place.
It was to make sure that players could play together with their friends at the start of the ga even if they were transported to other villages.
There was no point in playing if they weren’t together enjoying the ga.
It was true that COVENANT was a unique and exciting ga. A fantasy world ca out of a dream. But after doing errand quests after guests, Silvia was already bored. She really wanted to venture outside of the newbie village and into the great unknown.
The only thing that was hindering her was her best friend, Pala, who was still nowhere to be seen.
Shifting one foot to another, Silvia clicked her tongue in annoyance when she started attracting unwanted attention. The only thing keeping the group of guys from approaching her was her intimidating glares.
She cursed the ga for not having the option to change her appearance.
Though she was grateful, she was gifted with godly looks and physiques, but it was a bother most of the ti.
She had already forgotten how many tis her face got her into trouble.
Was there so kind of an item that could hide her appearance? Silvia thought to herself.
Silvia decided to wait for Pala in an area that was secluded and had lesser players.
Thank the heavens that there weren’t many players yet, and Silvia didn’t have to worry about the crowd.
However, she was bored.
Not even five minutes that, she was standing and waiting for Pala, and she was already bored.
Silvia was not used to just standing and waiting. She needed to do sothing, or she’d feel every tick of the clock.
Silvia released a large breath into the sky and decided to grind in the forest. It was dark, and not many players were adventuring outside at this ti, but what else would she do?
Stand here and wait?
Silvia shook her head and marched towards Euclid forest.
She entered the forest and began to grind with whatever beast she saw, making sure that she didn’t go too deep inside so she could return to the village as soon as Pala arrived.
Notifications popped on Silvia’s screen when she defeated beast after beast. She didn’t care, though, since the rewards were so poor it hurt her eyes.
It would take forever for all her ATP to reach two digits at this rate.
Silvia went still and wiped off the sweat from her face. This ga was too realistic that she felt like everything was real. She even felt like logging out and taking a long hot bath.
She took a mont to breathe and looked at her player status.

Silvia sighed.
She was here for hours, but her ATP didn’t even reach two digits. And Silvia knew why. The amount of EXP in the Newbie Village was so minuscule to non-existent, and the amount of EXP to level their ATP was huge.
It didn’t add up.
The only ti that she received an enormous EXP was attaining first blood on the quest [Herbs Gathering], and she poured it to her STR, and it only went up by that much.
She thought that grinding the forest would rake her tons of EXP, but it turned out that the EXP lessened, the more she accumulated EXP and raised her ATP. So beasts didn’t even provide any more EXP rewards.
Accumulating EXP and not distributing it to her ATP to maintain it low so she could rake EXP when defeating beasts also didn’t work. The system even calculated the accumulated EXP in her [Ho Screen] when giving rewards.
Silvia didn’t have ti to waste on lower-level beasts anymore. In the [World Chat], she read that so players encountered a group of beasts that were impossible to defeat in this early ga.
Silvia thought that would surely rake her enough EXP to level all her ATP into two digits.
Silvia picked her thumb. Was her ATP enough to solo this group of monsters, though?
“. . .”
After consideration, the only way for her to be ahead of the others was to take risks.
And besides, she wasn’t used to just staying in her comfort zone.
“Let’s do this.” Silvia’s eyes shone, and excitent racked her veins for the second ti.
The first ti was when she entered COVENANT, and she almost forgot how it was to be excited once more.
The real-life was dull to her because she could get whatever she wanted and could do many things if she set her mind to it. Being number one was effortless to her, and this got her bored.
A good thing that this ga ca at the perfect ti.
Silvia’s eyes glowed, and her tongue wiped her bottom lips. “Don’t disappoint .”
She went into the area where the players said they had spotted a group of Horned Rabbits.
She would test the waters first since Horned Rabbits were the weakest beasts in Euclid Forest.
She didn’t have to go far because the group of rabbits was located under the giant tree at the center of a wide clearing of patches of grass.
Silvia made so ntal preparations in her mind. Her ATP could take care of every single one of them before, and she was confident that she could win even if there were four of them now.
She was confident in her skill with the sword since she was practicing fencing in real life. She also knew self-defense.
A Fencer was the perfect class for her. The skill [Stab] inflicted [True Damage] and had a high chance of critical attack if she pierced her weapon against her opponent’s weakness.
It was also the reason why she was ahead of the others in the ga. While others squird and were still getting used to the battle system, Silvia felt right at ho.
Silvia readied her weapon.
At the sight of the approaching woman, the peaceful bunnies, who were minding their own business of eating grass and collecting food, all turned hostile and imdiately circled Silvia.
