VRMMO: Alter Online - Chapter 45

“Training grounds? in what reason for? if you want a training ground then we could just make one in the School you will attend soon, isn’t that enough?” Merlin asked not knowing what Mark was thinking at all.

“You old fool! do you think I will ask if I don’t know what I’m saying, don’t forget the contract, external forces are not allowed to meddle with anything, and also, I will train elites in that place, not just any normal soldiers” Mark said with a sigh, he then explained what he had in mind.

What Mark had in mind was a secret training ground for the soon to be elites members of the guild, in this way, they would be able to hind some of their trump cards, Alduin Planet is a perfect place for this plan since it was situated far away from the National government and other powerful people.

It was also the last place that they will expect, of course, this will be used not by the players but the new players that will be joining them soon, know that in the second continent, only a limited of players will be able to join, and the most important in the game right now was manpower, with the arrival of Mark’s fans.

The manpower had doubled and the speed of collecting materials was faster, now Mark doesn’t have to do all of the material gatherings, he will be able to also focus on gathering the materials needed to craft the item Oath of Death.

After having a decision, Merlin agreed and Mark left the room as a winner, he then went back into the game and it was already dawn when he comes back to the game, Mark immediately called out all of them and continued their trip.

The Angel and Demon didn’t join them and left the group to go their own ways, they only came here to recruit Mark.

With the horse’s White reaper found, the journey was much easier, they reached the base in half-day and they were greeted by Chris who had a sweet smile on her face as she greeted her sla- *ahem, new helpers.

They were not accepted yet, of course, Mark and Chris could not just casually accept a member of their guild, this will also be a test for them while helping Mark and Chris in building their guild base, it has now grown to be as big as a normal cathedral, it has 3 floors and also new houses were built near the guild base for the newcomers.

After that, everyone started working, Chris was left to supervise them while Mark decided to focus on his job.

“I need diamond pick-ax to be able to collect obsidian, so I guess I will focus on mining diamond’ Mark murmured and left towards a ravine he found when he was on his way towards Alexa and her group.

It didn’t take long for Mark to reach the place as it took him 10 minutes of walk to reach the ravine, yes, it was a little far away from their guild base but what Mark has found was only a small ravine, the ravine was 50 meters long and was shaped like a snake, Mark stepped close to the ravine and looked below it.

Deep down the ravine, Mark could see that it was very deep, it was about 50 blocks deep and just deep the ravine raging lava was in it, but even though the ravine was a very dangerous place, it was also a place full of resources, just standing on Mark’s position, he could see tons of iron, cop[per, and coal, as for the diamonds, Mark will only be able to see it if he descends on the deep ravine.

And so without further ado, Mark took out a rope made of spider webs and tied it on a sturdy tree, and also wrapped it around his body, after making sure everything was fine, Mark did the last check on his surroundings making sure no one will sabotage him, he descended towards the deep ravines.

Mark was experienced in climbing down the ravines with equipment, he needed to do this many times when he was being taught by his master, not everyone had the ability to fly or stick towards the wall like they were spiders, Mark as a martial artist needed to rely on tools, well, not with his real-life power but right now,

Mark’s avatar was very weak, and there is no way he could pierce a rock with his hand with his weak ass avatar, while he was descending to the ravine, he heard something from above, and when he looked up, he saw that the rope was being slashed out by a sharp rock that Mark had failed to notice earlier.

“Damn!” Mark immediately reached for the rock nearby but before his arms could reach the rock, the rope holding him gave out, it was too sudden, Mark started to fall from 30 blocks away from the lava, he immediately summoned his iron pick-ax and flew towards the walls.

Mark stabbed the pick-ax towards the wall.

*Ting!

The pick-ax was repelled back, Mark looked down and saw he was only a few blocks away from the lava, once he falls into that, he will surely die! a smile appeared on Mark’s face as he was close to the boundary of life and death.

[Abandonment!]

“Haaaaaa!” Marl used the abandonment and stabbed towards the walls again, this time he put all of his power.

*Boom!

The pick-ax burrowed deep into the walls and Mark clenched the pick-ax tightly and pulled himself up, but he slid down continuously getting closer and closer in falling towards the lava, Mark knew he will still fall into the lava at this pace.

“Ahh! like hell I will die here!” Mark roared then took out another pick-ax from his inventory and used his other hand to stab it towards the wall.

*Boom!
