VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

"Hmmmm…"

He was back inside after some rest, and now that he knew the predicament he was in, he was contemplating what to exactly do about it.

"It's not like we can fight a bunch of strong beasts at our level, much less many comparable to those evil beings.

So, if we want even a little chance of getting out of here, we'd have to get stronger first."

He was contemplating what to do with Sera, the green glowing bugs that he had befriended from the cave, a squirrel with three eyes, and a giant snake who only ate a special kind of poisonous fruit around this area.

They were his new friends, and though there were more, only these had come to play with him for today.

[{ I can deal with a few creatures here, master-. }]

"We aren't going to harm anyone here, Sera. We have already discussed that part. Suggest me something else. Something that will help us get experience faster."

There were a few things that he had considered for now.

The first and the toughest thing would be to tame every single being present in this place, but if he wanted to do that, he would need to understand all the creatures present here on a deep level.

It could take days, weeks, or perhaps months depending on the diversity of the creatures present here. And, he did not really have that much time.

The second thing he could do would be to increase the abilities of his first title that grew with him.

'Thanks to the title, if I help wounded creatures, I'd get stronger. However, to do that, we would need to have injured creatures.'

And in a place as peaceful as this one, they weren't going to find many creatures to help.

The next thing he thought would be to 'observe' all the new things present here, however, now that he had the eye skill that activated at his will, the observation feature was automatically turning all the information into what his eyes might show him.

It was a great skill, but because of that skill, he couldn't gain experience points like he used to.

There was also no dungeon or place with monsters that they could kill here, so hunting was out of question as well.

[{ You can try creating something… like, everything we do is practically an experience, no?

The experience that we are rewarded is greater when hunting because we are technically taking a life and obtaining all the experience that life had accumulated over their lifetime.

Creating something new entirely pretty much does the exact opposite. }]

"You mean creating something new means creating something that would also have its own experiences?"

[{ Something like that? I'm not sure, however, from what I understand, experience is essentially what one experiences.

Be it a death or a new kind of experience, one is bound to grow stronger as they experience new things. }]

"Hmmm…"

He remembered a certain individual that had wanted him to work on his videos many times, but since those videos weren't anything about action but simple exploration, he had never taken on those jobs.

He was a high ranker, someone who had dedicated his life to exploration completely.

Almost all the detailed guides about any area that existed on the markets of this world, as well as on the player forums, had been created by that individual and his two partners.

They explored all the new corners of the world, went to places that one might not have known about until now, and just like Alex, they were also wanderers.

Free spirits that went on the search of new places.

'They don't do 'hunting' like normal people. And they are still on the rankings.'

A big reason behind that would be their exploration and the new experiences that they have on their journey.

'First discovery rewards also exist for the players.'

Alex had told him about them, so the fact that he did not get anything like that would mean some other player must have come here before him.

And since there was no sign of them present here anymore, it also meant they had somehow left this place as well.

So…

"There's at least some way to get out of here."

Maybe there's some gap in the wind barrier that covers this forest, perhaps there's a set time when the winds get weaker, or perhaps there's something here that could help him get out of here.

Ultimately though, there was a way to get out. And he just had to find that way.

And while he does that, he also has to create something of his own to gain Exp and level up. Understand and master spells of higher level, and gain more (Intelligence) to increase his spellcasting ability.

He still had to advance 25-levels to achieve his first awakening. That was the bare minimum target he needed to achieve to even think of getting out of this place.

Finding a way out would be a priority, but under the circumstances, he was going to assign more of his time into improving himself.

And thanks to all the knowledge available on the forums, all the knowledge available in the special books that he had, he didn't have to worry about running out of new things to learn anytime soon.

If anything, in this special place, he believed his learning efficiency would improve even further.

And with the eternal daylight on his side, he wouldn't have to worry about a shift in natural lights.

"Hmmm… alright then. Let's start doing something at least."

Thanks to Sera's insight and the silent help of the other creatures, he had decided on what he would have to do next.

His ultimate goal to achieve the first swanking was set now, so he got up from his place and stretched his legs.

His food would end at one point as well so he would have to look for the other food sources as well.

And to do that, he would have to explore the rest of the forest and try out various plants and fruits that he could find in this pretty forest.

"Lead the way, Sera."

[{ Yes, master. This way… }]

He would also have to grow stronger for Sera since they were going to share all the experience he earns from this point forth.

Just his growth wasn't important if they wanted to defeat a threat that might come in their way.

He needed her to deal any kind of damage since he himself was pretty much useless in the damage dealing section.

And they had to achieve all that as quickly as they possibly could. Since…

The Purple gaze watching them from the other side of the forest- who did not yet know what to do about these foreign substances- might decide to deal with them permanently.

And neither Elio nor Sera would want that to happen.

So, they had to work faster. Or, at the very least, prove their importance in this already pleasant Equilibrium.
