The Sneha familia

Om was on the ground and a players leg went toward Oms face but it was stopped.

The player looked in surprise that Om caught his leg with his palms that were equipped with gauntlets.

Om pushed the leg away from the mans other leg, completely unguarding the family jewels. Om caught them while getting up.

A zoom went through the players nerves under there. He kept his sensation at 30%. Despite being greatly reduced, the zoom sensation made his legs soggy.

With his left hand, Om took his sword and pierced the players stomach, causing negative numbers to flow above his head and vanish.

The player next to him had taken his sword out by this time and tried to attack Om, but Om deflected it with the help of the left gauntlet by releasing the sword and the technique he learned from the black rabbit on how to deflect swords.

Om took the sword with his right hand and slashed the players right hand with his sword.

Om abruptly moved to his left when a sword came flying and pierced the player that attacked Om.

It was the leader, who threw the sword to attack Om but killed his friend by mistake. The first person Om stabbed also died, and both of them vanished by turning into light particles.

looking at his friends disappear, the leader got engaged. ”Your bastard! ”

Releasing all of his defense, he went to attack Om recklessly.

”Your health remaining is 3. ” Oms system reminded him. ”Don try to get hit by him. ”

Om used his sword to repel the onslaught of attacks from the leader.

This game is fun, Om thought while deflecting those simple sword attacks from the leader.

Om looked at him carefully and saw the timing of his attack. For the next attack, Om immediately went to his left to dodge instead of blocking, so the leader lost balance and fell to the ground.

He tried to stand as quickly as possible, but a sword passed through his heart and the ground, making him vanish immediately.

”Young hero. You killed the criminals that stole my wealth. How can I repay you? ” The NPC came near Om with gratitude.

Om took out the gauntlets and stretched his hands toward the NPC. ”Don mention it, uncle. Take your gloves back. ”

The NPC shook his head with a clear face. ”No, young hero, they belong to you now. That is the least I can give you for protecting me. ”

”Ok, then let me escort you to your destination. ” Om took the man to his house in the village.

After leaving him, Om thought, Should I hunt more?

”Your HP is low. You better log out and come later, ” said the system, ”so that you can heal up. ”

That is only when you don have a big injury.

HP is reduced in 2 ways: one by accumulated damage, which can be recovered with time; in this case, the last 5 HP would be hard to reduce. This could be recovered by sleeping or logging out for some time.

And another is a heavy injury, which can only be healed by a healing potion or by a healer, and if not treated in time, the player would lose HP constantly and die eventually.

*ting ting ting*

”Rail number xxxxxx is on its way on platform number… ”

Shiva opened and closed his eyes tightly due to a light headache, then opened them again to see his four friends sleeping nearby on the floor and sitting.

Next morning,

”Ah! Ha! Your grip became stronger, Shiva. ” Shivas owner complimented him for his massage. ”Did you take drugs or something? Hahaha. ”

Shiva smiled at his sarcastic words. ”Did the young owner bring a new game, owner? ” Shiva asked to continue the talk.

”He used 10 lakhs to buy again. Previously, he spent 50,000 in that game to buy something in the game. He wasted all of them. I should stop spoiling him. He is soon going to college. He shouldn waste time on games. Mhm, that hit the spot. ”

So that was the reason I had armor, Shiva thought, ecause young master brought it before. Well, I will make sure to pay them back with interest.

”Rey, Shiva. ” The wife of the owner came. ”Go get 1 kg of tomatoes. Sushila didn bring groceries yesterday. ”

Sushila was the servant appointed to cook food.

”He is massaging me, ” said the man. ”Go, find someone else. ”

”Massage is every days work. So missing it for one day isn a problem. I am not even asking him to go away. He will come back in a few minutes. ”

Shiva took the money she gave her and left.

”You little brat, ” sarcastically said the husband, ”I am the one who gave you work to do in this house, but you are listening to her. ”

Om, aka Shiva, came online in the game. As soon as he appeared on the platform where he had previously appeared, he saw a man bullying three girls.

”Newbies, give us the protection fee; you don want some stray attacks to stab you in the back, do you? ” said the man with a sinister smile on his face.

Though the girls were not scared, if they wanted to play the game without any inconvenience, they needed to not make enemies out of any players.

”Thats enough. ” Om came in between. At the same time, an old man who was walking by saw that and stopped to see.

”Who are you, little shrimp? ” The player put his face in front of Oms face with widened eyebrows.

”I can stand watching you bully people, ” said Om. ”Go away and fight monsters. ”

To intimidate, the player narrowed his brows. ”Lets fight then. Take my challenge. ”

Killing was illegal, but once a player accepted a challenge, killing would be fine. So not many players accept the challenge at the early stage of the game, where they should be farming EP.

”Ok. ” Om agreed.

The unknown player smirked. ”Idiot, I am level 2. Wait… ” Only then did he notice the gauntlets on Oms hands. ”Wait, what rank are those gauntlets? ”

”These? ” Shiva lifted his hands. ”They are… ”

”Wait, mister. ” One of the three girls interrupted. ”You can tell your opponent about your strengths and weaknesses. ”

”Shut your mouth, bitch. ” The unknown player shouted due to irritation.

Listening to that, Oms eyes got became dark. Without a warning, he dashed. The player tried to block it, but he couldn reach his sword in time. Om punches him with full force while shouting. ”Show some respect to girls. Waste fellow. ”

It was a one-hit KO; the player fell on his knees and vanished to become light particles.

Ding

You finished your quest to protect five people from bullying. Go to Hosam to collect your reward.>

Though killing players was a normal occurrence, a one-hit KO was rare, and everyone could tell with his speed that Om was a level 1 player.

Everyone became interested in him, not for his kill but for his equipment.

To gain equipment, one must either buy it with real money or earn it through questing. The latter was hard and very rare at the early stage of the game.

If he was wealthy, he could carry players, and if he could find good quests, he would be useful in either case. So, many people gathered around him and began to request that he join their party.

At the same time,

A few players around that village got the same notification.

Ding

”Damn it. ” A man shouted and sliced the red dog in front of him in fury.

”What happened? I Am Otaku. ” His comrade asked.

”The quest I wasted one week got taken away by someone. This useless game only allowed us to take one quest at a time. I wasted one week without doing any quests. Damn it. ”

In another place,

”Forget about it. I have a hunch that this one quest limit will be lifted at higher levels. Ill assist you with your grinding at that time. ”

These players could have finished the quest much sooner than Om, but they couldn stand by doing such a useless quest, where failure was a high possibility because of the restrictions of the quest.

They must not get help from anyone, and they must not get the victim to harm once they see the bullying, and they couldn stage a scene where they could act like they were saving people.

So, instead of trying to complete it, they focused on gaining EP and leveling up. They decided to help others only when the odds were in their favor, so they lost it. They focused too much on gaining EP while Om focused on the quest.

That would be because they knew the importance of the game, but as Om took it as a slow-money game, his patience won.
