Chapter 9: Monster Extermination

Turning time back, around the time when Lucas joined a party and went to hunt for the first time, a certain person has also just started playing.

Standing in the square plaza that Lucas was a few minutes ago were a player named [Rice].

He had silver hair and red iris, above his head was a wolf's ear and behind him was a tail, the rest was humanlike. Why? Because he is a werebeast, to be more precise, he was half-human half-wolf.

First, let's talk about the character selection. When creating the character, you choose a race that you want.

Human - they are normal, very normal, they have no special features whatsoever. They are mostly known for being adaptive.

Elf - they excel in magic and archery. If chosen, INT and DEX has an additional 10 points each no matter what the randomized stats are, so their max stat is actually 20 more than normal. Most of them tend to choose Magicians and Marksman.

Half-Elf - they are half-human half-elf. If chosen, INT and DEX has an additional 5 points each no matter what the randomized stats are.

Dwarf - they have good strength and excel in craftsmanship. If chosen, STR has 10 points increase no matter what the randomized stats are and has an additional stat [Craftsmanship] with a starting 50 points. Most Crafters or STR-dependent job are of this race.

Werebeast - they have good instinct, hearing, and sensing ability. If chosen, additional [Heighten Senses] passive skill. Fighter jobs are mostly Werebeasts for the skill.

Halfling - they are good with handling traps, whether dismantling or making them. If chosen, additional [Discovery] passive skill and [Dismantle] active skill. They are known for their innovations in tactics and traps and are mostly of the Scout type.

Orc - they are strong and buffed beings. If chosen, DEF and VIT have 10 points increase no matter what the randomized stats are. They are known for their endurance on taking hits and from their hideous appearance.

Elementals - they are special beings that control fire, water, earth, or wind. If chosen, [Fire Control], [Water Control], [Earth Control] or [Wind Control] passive skill is added depending on the type they choose and can never learn a different attributed skill or wear different attributed equipments other than their chosen element. Not only that, but they will have very noticeable weakness and will cause severe damage. Because of this, there are very few of them in [World Gate Online].

Earth - Gnome

Air - Sylph

Water - Undine

Fire - Salamander

Now that the lecture is done, let's talk about werebeasts.

After choosing the race, they are asked what half-animal they want to be. Rice chose wolf of course which explained his wolf-like appearance. But the type of wolf wasn't decided by him.

What Rice is, is a [Silver Wolf].

Once chosen the type of animal, the system randomizes the type of that animal. And a [Silver Wolf] is a very very rare monster.

Normal wolves are dark grey, the lighter color they go, they more powerful they are. And a [Silver Wolf] is considered as the strongest in the wolf-type monsters. Of course, there are also special types of wolves which did not have the shade of grey but the [Silver Wolf] still tops them.

Looking at his own figure in the reflection of a building's window, Rice can't help grinning.

"Looks like I'm too lucky."
