VRMMO: Alter Online - Chapter 43

In the southern part of the Arcadia universe, Dovah Tribe of the dark elves lived on the planet of Alduin Planet, a small planet with a population of about 300 people, and the only race the lives here is the Dovah tribe.

But even with that, it doesn’t mean they lived peacefully, it’s because of the existence of magic beasts and space pirates, The Dovah Tribe could still coup with the Magic beasts since they were natural-born hunters and their source of food were the magic beasts.

But space pirates were something that they hated very much, other than stealing their food and their natural resources, the pirates also became bolder and started abducting their people, the dark elves tried to retaliate but they lost and because of that, their originally 800 population were reduced to 300.

They also tried asking for help from the universal government but because they were too far, help has not arrived yet, or it won’t arrive, Azi was a young man from his village, he was only 180 years old which is 18 years old in humans age.

His father was Dainself Dovah, the tribe chief, as the son of Dovah tribe chief Azi also felt a sense of responsibility to help his father, and the pirates were the biggest problem for the Dovah tribe, as Azi was searching for a way, his father came one day and gave him a headgear, it was for the Alter Online.

The Dovah tribed received 5 pieces from a mysterious person who has helped them from another attack of the pirates, because of this, the attacks of the pirates ceased for a time being, they don’t know when will they return.

“I know you want to help me and the tribe, and this is the best way to do so, make me proud of you son,” Dainself said to him, Azi nodded at that time and promised that he would, so he played the game, but after playing for a month, he still hasn’t found a way to help his tribe.

Not until he saw the live stream of a player named Nevermore, that was the first time, Azi saw a human move like that since they were living far from the human civilization, their information about them is limited,

Azi only had heard about them from books and the internet and almost all of them were either mage or cultivators, and in his eyes, it was not that really amazing, but Nevermore was different, Azi was enamored when he saw him move, a powerful warrior, that is what he saw in Nevermore.

And he also the hope of their tribe, someone that could end the pirates attacking them, and so with that, Azi ventured towards the coordinates where Nevermore and Chris were staying, he also met some people who also came to look for Nevermore on his way.

It didn’t take long for him to receive a piece of good news that their leader, Shumsi, met Nevermore in real life and said they will come to meet them, Azi felt very happy, he had been travelling for so long, and the activity of pirates also started showing signs.

Azi was hopeful, very hopeful that Nevermore will help their tribe.

“No, I cannot help your tribe” Nevermore replied, Azi looked at him with a dumbfounded look and also tears threatening to fall from his eyes, ‘What!? how can that be?’ Azi asked in disbelief, but he could not give up right now, the fate of their tribe will depend on this, the pirates were more aggressive than before because they were driven out by the mysterious guy, so they will surely direct their anger towards the tribe.

Azi wanted to cry but held it in and bowed his head once more that it crashed to the floor, “Please! please!” he repeated his begging to Nevermore, he repeatedly smashed his head on the ground while pleading that his forehead started to bleed.

In Alter Online, players could adjust the pain in the settings, but the lowest they could lower their pain perception is 40%, and Azi didn’t know that and his pain perception is at 100%, he genuinely felt the pain from bowing his head to the ground.

“Stand up, I already told you, I won’t, don’t make me repeat myself,” Nevermore said.

But Azi didn’t listen and continued his pleading.

Mark looked at Azi and sighed he walked towards Azi and extended his hand, his fingers wrapped around Azi’s neck and Mark raised him up.

*Kuh!

“I said stand up, and listen to me,” Mark said with a glare while lifting Azi while strangling him on the neck.

“Y-yes” Azi replied in difficulty.as he grabbed at Mark’s arms.

“Good” Mark dropped Azi and Azi fell to the ground panting, but he immediately stood up and looked at Mark.

‘I won’t help you as I said but I will train you” Mark said as he looked at Azi.

“Train me?” Azi was confused, won’t it be easier if Mark helped them.

“I know what you are thinking, but do you really think that is enough for you? them dying not by your hands but someone who came just to clean up the mess you can’t clean up? and what if I wiped them out? do you think that will solve your problems forever?” Mark asked as he sat on the only chair in the room like it was a throne, Mark sat upright, with his back against the back of the chair or seat, with both knees together, the right foot brought behind the left foot then placed alongside the back-half of the “outstep” of the left foot, toes of both feet pointing directly forward.

His figure could be seen as dominating, like a king.

Azi looked at Mark his eyes were sparkling, so cool, he thought, “Please train me!” Azi kneeled to Mark, even though Azi was 180 years old, elves mental growth was slower than humans and Azi was still childish, he doesn’t know what is coming next.

“But before that, I have a condition”
