The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 256 - FFA PvP 9
Behind a watchtower in the abandoned village, there was a man sitting quietly.
The village was located on the East side of this competition island but was quite far from the coastline.
'Hmm.... Hunting Players was much more profitable than hunting monsters.' The man who was none other than Eric.
He was seen peering from several holes in the wooden wall of the watchtower. At the moment he saw the figure of three Player who crossed this Village....
'Meet!'
Eric immediately pulled his bow as hard as he could while activating the [Focused Shot] skill where the power of the shot would increase the longer the user pulled and focused the skill to a maximum of 5 seconds.
Soon after that....
'Shyuuuutt!!!'
The arrow shot very quickly towards the head of one of the players.
'Babee!'
[You've hit right at the vital point of the target!]
[You've given Critical Hit!]
[You have dealt 8,429 damage!]
[Target is dead!]
[You earned 780,529 Experience Points!]
[You have Leveled up!]
A rather encouraging notification appeared before Eric. He was seen smiling with satisfaction as he immediately hid behind the wooden wall of the watchtower.
'good! Victim's 84th today!' Eric shouted in his heart while immediately readying his bow and arrow.
The remaining two people immediately hid behind the trees.
"Damn it! I told you it's better to move in a closed place, right?!" Shouted one of those players.
"Huh?! Now you're on...."
'Jleb! Jem!! Job!!!'
Three arrows shot out of nowhere as if able to turn so that it can pass through the barrier in the form of a tree.
The player who was talking was immediately turned into a white light. But before the other players were able to react in the slightest, an arrow of light that was even capable of punching holes in several trees at once had made a huge hole in that player's chest.
"D-damn it!"
While on top of that watchtower, Eric was smiling broadly because he had leveled up once again. He now has a level of 83 and intends to change his Job Class.
"Faulia.... Being an archer is fun. Should I cast my magic in the original game world and become an archer? No, should I throw it away? I could be both."
Eric continued to be preoccupied by his own thoughts while continuing to tinker at the menu window that was in front of him. Finally, a notification from the system appears.
...[.Are you sure you will use 50 Talent Points to unlock the Mid Tier Class of Archery?]...
...[.Yeah] [No]...
Eric without hesitation immediately pressed the [Yes] button.
...[.Please select the Job Class you want!]...
...[.Hunter...
...Attack Power : A...
...Durability : C+...
...Agility : B-...
...[.Marksmen]...
...Attack Power : S...
...Durability: D-...
...Agility : C-...
...[.Wind Walker's]...
...Attack Power : C+...
...Agility : S...
There is no further notice and explanation other than the notation that states the strength of each Class that can be selected.
Eric seemed hesitant for a moment because he was confused about which one to choose.
Unlike the real world of Re:Life, the game world on this competition island has a different system. A Player can only have the skills of the Talent they allocate to their status.
Of course every player could allocate them evenly to all kinds of Talents. However, it will make the player become "Jack of All Trades" which can do many things but is not an expert in one particular field.
In some situations, it may be beneficial. Whereas in most situations, especially when dealing with strong opponents, Jack of All Trades is almost certain to lose because it does not have a special advantage.
After thinking about it for more than 5 minutes, in the end Eric decided to change his Job Class into a Marksmen who had the greatest attacking power despite having to sacrifice his agility.
"I've decided it. That's why I won't regret it!" Eric yelled at himself while pressing the Class's replacement button.
Shortly after pressing the button, Eric's body seemed to be surrounded by a beautiful silver light. All of that light seemed to be absorbed into Eric's body, then gave him the strength and skill set of a Marksmen.
...[.You have obtained Unique Skill : Lethal Shot!]...
...[.You have obtained Epic Skill : Stealth]...
...[.You have obtained the Passive Epic Skill : Nature Disguise!]...
...[.Your strength has increased by 200 points!]...
Looking at that notification, Eric was quite satisfied but was annoyed at the same time after seeing the next notification.
...[.Advanced Class will open at level 150!]...
...[.Cost: 80 Talent Points!]...
"Damn it.... I think I should farm more. Wait, what is that?!" Eric cried out in surprise after looking to the East side, where he had arrived in this world.
From the end of the beach, there are meteors falling from the sky. Meteors of varying sizes appear to destroy anything in front of them. Including Players, NPCs and Monsters.
The clear sky was cloudy with a beautiful blue color that instantly turned blood red.
Not stopping there, the blood-red sky gradually expanded while bringing destruction with the meteors it dropped to the ground.
It was at this point that Eric began to realize it.
"So this is the zoning system mentioned huh? The players have to evacuate immediately and move to the center of the island, right?" Eric said to himself while looking west, precisely to the giant volcano in the middle of this island.
He looked relaxed as the distance between himself and the blood-red sky was quite far. After solidifying his mind for a moment, Eric had decided to immediately go to the center of this island and immediately secure the best defensive position.
"If indeed the location of the last fight was there, I think it would be best if I got there first and killed anyone who approached. Yeah, that's a great idea! But before that, I guess it would be better if I had more arrows. And also a more powerful weapon."
Along with his last words, Eric immediately sped up his pace and went towards the center of the island, the giant volcano.

...VIP audience room...
"Can I sit next to you, Miss?" Said a Man in noble-style clothes with a yellow main color and a beautiful blue pattern. Her blond hair that was so neat yet long was so dazzling before everyone. Not to mention the level that is so beautiful.
But all of that was completely useless in the presence of the black-haired woman in that swimsuit.
"I'm sorry, I can't. This chair is reserved." Reply Lisa briefly without even glancing at the Man.
Wonder why his face could not attract the woman in front of him, the man then asked Lisa.
"Isn't this chair empty, it means...."
"This seat has been booked. The business of someone who occupies it or not is not important. What's clear is that I won't be sitting with a narcissistic guy like you."
Instantly the man's heart was as if it had just been rained down by hundreds of knives. He had never felt the pain of being rejected by a woman because he had always been blessed with her appearance and wealth.
But now?
Finally, the man took out the ace he had been keeping all this time.
"Then, I will spread the fact that your Master is a Summoner hiding behind the mask of a Witch. Hows it? Still don't want to do business with me?" Whisper the man with a voice so soft.
At that moment, Lisa woke up.
The man before him at this moment, was one of the most powerful men in the world Re:Life was not as King. But as a most cunning trader and also the most powerful.
William, the leader behind the scenes of the Federation of Merchants. The power and influence of his Red Velvet Guild even reached up to the supposedly extremely difficult Avertia Empire.
