the real game begins (1)

Most of the people stayed on the scene despite the fact that the world around us changed, where before there were forests you could see remains of buildings or houses; some places were still in flames and traces of dried blood could be seen on the paved ground. This began to increase as one moved away from the forest to equalize that the danger of the creatures, that added to the fact that people had gotten out of control before and could get out of control again demotivated anyone; daily creatures of such type could be seen plowing through the slopes and people prayed that the Tower was strong enough to keep them away. Soon the nervousness increased when seeing that the creatures approached in waves and stayed near the barrier and then left, we knew that sooner or later they would begin to enter; desperate people were still gathering resources safely for the city. However this was slower than if people went out to risk but nobody was willing, one day a hippgriff managed to pass the barrier and slaughtered on the spot thanks to the joint force; this made us happy and alerted us at the same time feet we understood that things could only get worse. People began to go out in groups for resources and although some took advantage to do evil, none of them led to death, at least not the killing of the cases, it was rare for someone to die but common for it to be stolen; You could be safer if you surrounded yourself with NPCs and went hunting but not for long as they would organize into a larger group to rob you.

Even so, they did not steal everything from you at least they let you keep the equipment if it was too ostentatious since no one had an appreciation to understand the value of what he had, only some NPC could but they were not willing to share the information unless you will pay and about what was yours; This was expensive and you could end up wasting money on something useless. Many weapons when reinforced with crystals or animal aortes were seen more than they were, this added to the fact that they only asked you what they could carry towards the most passable situation; Unless they were fond of your body and for that reason they gave you a hard time. This happened to the miner and I felt insecure about this because I am a woman but seeing that even men are not safe I am afraid to even let Emma out, I am very afraid but the situation cannot continue like this; With the savings we generate, we decided to try our luck by going to the highest base through the tower's protal. For a few days after arriving, we saw that the insecurity outside the area was not so bad, although they stole other things rarely happened. Suspiring with joy, we bought a couple of houses, one to rent and the other to grow; With the daily income from the building near the tower, we could do this project at least until the city falls. Besides that we continued to grow magical plants or raise magical animals in the area of granhas, we were not the only ones and the profits were enough for the day to day but it served us; Thanks to this, we were left at zero of money but we had the confidence to retake what we lost.

We have no doubt that things would be just as difficult anywhere, only that in some places people are less wild than in others, luckily in this city there were many gamer and crazy people who had been aging the apocalysis and lived in bunkers since before of everything; Therefore, within all good, some one or another became violent and daring, it was not to the point of having completely lost morality. At least thanks to the system we did not have to worry about security in the city or not being able to understand each other since it made us an instant translator, no matter how you communicate your idea to express it would be understood and how these people are more diligent and predipposed to teamwork we do not believe that the city will fall at least not in the short term; something we really appreciate because we need to feel a bit of security in this already desperate situation.

People were nice and thieves only stole things that were hard to come by like dungeon loot D upwards, but it was solved with an NPC escort or a good group of people; We quickly managed to integrate with these people and even make the odd "friendship". Friends of whom we still had doubts about the trust we could give but almenps they were not unpleasant people who treated badly only because they could, these people made me see the light at the end of the tunnel showing me that humanity still has hope as a species; Thanks to these friends we managed to recover quickly monetarily and I became popular thanks to my high Heler level due to how difficult it is to climb. People wanted me in their groups even though the ability would not regenerate members towards the more bearable boss battles, especially if one went to a monster nest where the dangers are more inclined to leave deep wounds than to kill directly; Unless the dungeon is one with many traps or insects this would not happen but even here the ability was still useful. Emma apart was good as Dps so people did not feel reluctant to have to join, the good thing is that from so much activity we quickly cleaned nests and dungeons, even reaching the city tuinas to explore; From there they got the best loot by exchanging things that cannot yet be made by NPCs. For example pieces of broken glass gave good money, it was the only source of glass and difficult to work with to recover a mirror or a glass; however it was very useful for the development of the city. I and Emma, thanks to our cheating ppacks, we swelled with garbage every time we went on an expedition to the city to the point that in a short time we became rich again, however we had not tried dungeons again; We were especially afraid after hearing how people died every day even in the G's because of some trap or weird monster that appeared.

Over time we noticed that the dungeons became a fantasy world version of Saw, twisted beautiful or grotesque with things that can kill you and appear to be the most zanp in the world or that they do not even try to hide their insane murderous nature with the evil characteristics of their being. ; One day the dungeons began to appear in the ruins of the city at every step you took, putting themselves directly in your face, forcing you to enter whether you want it or not. Nobody wanted to risk going into that chaos after that and every day we feared that the same thing would happen in the bpsques or the safe zone but it never happened, it seems that the system realized that we were exploiting a resource BUG and put manps on it. to the works; That or really things are more chaotic the closer to the land belonging to the Earth we are. The former is more likely, but I don't know, I don't rule out possibilities, now I'm honestly not interested in going to that place, and I have already taken good advantage of it by evolving skills thanks to the collected sinero; the one to domesticate animals the healer and one to throw water balls that could freeze and be made of ice. This ice thing only after having evolved it a lot, this ability in liquid form was half useless unless you used it in conjunction with fire to make smoke or thunder to make an electrified puddle; this worked against beasts quite well especially if you wanted to capture them alive. For this reason, if someone wanted to use this skill aggressively, if or if he learned two skills or directly learned the one to freeze, although it would cost much more and it was difficult to climb, it was easier for it to become useful in comparison. But I learned it because I wanted to see if I could make healing potions with the help of this and my ability, working only to enhance a previous potion but at least I discovered that it was a good driver of the ability increasing the effectiveness while it was in use; For what now in battle he could heal more easily and earn money by reselling improved potions although for a few HP points some would go crazy with it. After a while of doing this I learned alchemy at a basic level so that I could do my own pptions with the help of magic plants without the intervention of the NPC, although my success rate was low, the level of this would gradually increase in what continue to build positions; from time to time I would try to do some as soon as I have money left over, leveling it up a little too. Again another way to earn money for which me and emma were happy.
