The Wright brothers' flight, from atmospheric flight to space flight, harnessing nuclear energy, high-temperature superconductors and many other things that humans once thought they were impossible. But technology evolves fast and all of those were...
"I'm already going to experience my first death in-game in my first day of adventure", is what's running in my mind bitterly.
I parried another attack from one of the Dragnof. Just then in a second, I received a pop-up message.
_______
#ero is inviting you to join the party.
[ Accept ] [ Reject ] [ Later ]
_______
Without wasting any seconds, I accepted the request and another HP bar appears under my own, the HP bar of my first party member.
But I don't even have a single second to see who is it. I must focus or I'll die.
I crossed my blade in front of me with the incoming attack of another Dragnof and my new ally pierced it in its back.
I stepped back as the defeated Dragnof's body shattered into the thin air leaving in front of me a boy with black hair and black eyes, holding his sword and ready for another attack. He cast a «Provoke» skill which the Dragnof easily caught notice and started to attack him.
He's alert and fastly blocked another attack from the last Dragnof. I swing my sword on its side, I turned and then slashed on its back.
I survived.
I fall on my knees in exhaustion as I watch the dispersing shards of the Dragnof in the midair completely gone. I feel like the strength and alertness I had earlier are all already drained.
"Is that what they call 'adrenaline rush'?", I wonder because it seems hard for a beginner in a full-dive system to move fast like that earlier.
The owner of the HP bar under my name is a level 37 warrior-class player name #ero. He wears a «Leather Armor» set and wields a broadsword unknown yet to me that seems a bit stronger than mine. In my eyes, the indicator is blue than the usual green which suggests we're in the same party.

"...so that's.... the player who helped me", I thought as I unaware already staring at my party member who is standing near me while catching his breath too.
"He seems not stronger much though", I added in my mind then suddenly his eyes met mine.
"Uhhn..", I started to speak to hide my startled expression, "... thank you..."
He just smiled slightly then he started to walks away. I stood up.
"Come", he just simply said.
"Eh?", I blink several times before decided to take my first step.
"Wait, he didn't disband the party. What does he want?", I nervously ask myself since I haven't been to a party before.
I just decided to follow him and plans to leave the party when we reach a path where there are no more aggressive mobs to attack me.
