Chapter 3 3 Class: Assassin

[You have chosen the name Reaper]

[Choose your class]

"Would you kindly show me the list of class" Alex said, he knew all the classes available but now that he wanted to choose, that knowledge seem to have left him.

[With pleasure]

[Fighters: Knight - Swordsman - Thief - Brawler - Assassin]

[Support: Potion master - Healer - Medic - Poison master]

[Shooter: Archer - Hitman - Marksman - Hunter]

[Mixed: Spellcaster - Dark mage - Paladin - Trap master]

"Fighter... Support... Shooter... Mixed.., which am I going to choose" Alex looked at the options, each one of them more tempting than the last.

He had seen different classes and different people but not all the classes, most people choose only the best classes like knight, Spellcaster, dark mage, or Archer.

'I haven't seen anyone choose the assassin class, I always love to kill from the shadows, that has a nice ring to it'

"I'm going to go with Assassin," Alex said.

[Okay, allocated your stats]

A blue screen popped up in front of Alex, this was nothing new he had seen it before, it was the system that every player has.

The system displayed the user stats and power level, and the more the user progress the more the system become advance.

[Name: Reaper]

[Strength: 0]

[Agility: 0]

[Stamina: 0]

[Vitality: 0]

[Stealth: 0]

[These are your stats, every class has a special stat, and your special stat is Stealth]

Alex nodded and looked carefully at the interface, he chose the Assassin class, he had never seen anyone with this class, but he knew as an assassin he should focus on his speed and stealth.

Alex allocated his stats points and the blue screen changed.

Alex saw his interface and was quite pleased with his decision.

[All done, thank you for choosing Nova Online]

Alex soon began to fade away and eventually he disappeared from the forest.

Alex opened his eyes and saw that he was standing in front of a village, he walked in and looked around.

The road wasn't paved, they were made from dirt and soil, and the buildings were all medieval designs making Alex smile.

Players and NPCs were walking along the streets in harmony, of course, there were differences.

The players were looking around excitedly and observing the scenery, this was because this is the newbie village, the place where first-time players come after choosing their names and class.

Advance players don't have access to the newbie village, once you leave here, you can never come back, you can only see the village on your map.

So basically everyone here is playing the game for the very first time, or possibly second time.

As the players were observing the scenery, the NPCs were acting totally normal, some of them were running, children were playing, and some were flirting, this was why the game was number 1 in the world.

The different attitude of the NPCs makes you think there are normal humans, Alex looked around and it was wonderful.

Alex walked forward and entered the main Street and a message popped up in front of him.

[Welcome to Elyria Village]

"Nice, this is great" Alex murmured.

"Okay let's see, interface," Alex said, and the blue screen appeared in front of him.

[Name: Reaper]

[Level: 1]

[HP: 10/10]

[XP: 0/50]

[SP: 0]

[Class: Assassin]

[Blue Coins: 0]

[Title: None]

[Rank: None]

[Strength: 10]

[Agility: 30]

[Stamina: 15]

[Vitality: 15]

[Stealth: 30]

[Inventory]

[Map]

[Help]

[Log Out]

Alex pressed the [Inventory] icon and a small rift opened in front of him with a message on top of it.

[Inventory: Sharp wooden dagger]

[Dagger Rank: Ordinary]

"Wooden dagger... what would I use that for" Alex proceeded to carry the dagger out of the rift and the rift closed.

Indeed the dagger was sharp, it could pierce human skin if enough force is applied, but it wouldn't kill them.

Alex glanced down at his outfit, he was wearing a black shirt and black pants, maybe the game knows he likes black after all.

Alex looked around and saw some players holding wooden swords, bows, and different items, that means everyone was given an Ordinary item same as him.

Alex also checked the map and began to trek through the street looking around and hoping for something interesting to happen and it did.

One of the players was trying to get into an NPC house and was stopped by two guards holding sharp spears.

"What's happening inside there, let me though" the player shouted and was blocked again.

"This place is out of bound" the NPC said to the player.

"Wow, that is so real" Alex chuckled slightly as he watched the scene in front of him.

Another player later joined in and both of them were annoyed with the NPC.

"Why can't we pass," the player asked.

"This place is out of bound, so it is none of your business," the NPC said with a stern voice.

"Get out of my way you are just NPCs" the two players joined together and tried to force their way through but the NPC resisted, the NPC got angry and pointed the spear toward one of the players.

"Woah, you think I would be afraid of NPCs," the player said and grabbed the spear of the NPC.

The NPC wasted no time in plunging the spear into the body of the player and he faded away with a message floating where he died.

[Player Deathbag - Dead]

The other player didn't want to die, so he quickly ran away from the building, Alex watched the whole thing and marveled.

He left and continued walking but stopped and burst into laughter when he saw two NPCs fighting over a female NPC.

"You slept with my girlfriend" one of the NPC shouted and punched the other one.

Other players and NPCs watched the fight and were amused, some NPCs even tried to separate the fight.

Alex on the other hand left after a few seconds, he was going towards the newbie forest to hunt or possibly obtain some items when an NPC walked up to him.
