Chapter 136: Broken knee
If everyone here learned about Alex’s class and what kind of content he had received from it, every player undoubtedly would jump at him with jealousy. Worse, some probably would do their best to snatch his class!
Fortunately, Alex was close to his destination, “That’s my stop.”
A few players enjoying the fast ride let out sighs, “So we slow down to the normal speed! Unlucky!”
Alex had paid for a faster carriage, which naturally had pleased everyone. It was not really worth it for the carriage owner since his horses would get tired faster… Their stamina had been getting depleted more quickly than ever, which soon would force poor horses to take a long rest.
They indeed would require a lot of water!
But of course, Alex was a wealthy player, his bank account within the Deathwill Castle was abundant! He paid for expenses and convinced the owner with enough charisma and coins.
“You are going out like that? Be careful,” one of the players pointed at Alex’s clothes, which were the ordinary clothes he would wear in his castle or after taking off his equipment.
Not only everyone could infer that Alex’s inventory stored more than enough coins, but he was also alone. Even though they had a good talk with him a few minutes ago, some players would use that as a chance to get more money.
After all, they were strangers, allowing greed to take over their hearts.
Alex smiled, “I will be fine.”
He opened his system with a soft sweep of his hand. And then tapped on his inventory, changing his ordinary stuff into the battle equipment! In a second, Wolfgang Set wrapped itself around Alex’s body.
Alex enjoyed the soft fur tickling him around his neck. He also felt an indescribable sense of pride swathing him as his clothes simply stood out, not only in appearance but also quality-wise.
Other players donned themselves in rough and pretty uncomfortable equipment sets. The popular ones were leather clothes with a few metal plates around vital points… Other everyday clothes were difficult to wear.
Comfort got better with the equipment’s grade! That kind of luxury was sometimes a tad more important for some players than items’ stats.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe shocked eyes of everyone naturally contributed to Alex’s hubris. Of course, he would never let that feeling control him like the greed did to some sneaky players in the carriage.
He chuckled, “I’m ready for all challenges. That’s what this game is about.”
“Are you looking out for a younger brother?” the player who had shared his story about his one-sided affection toward the tavern owner asked in a fast but quiet tone.
Everyone heard him, though.
Alex burst out laughing, “Haha! Sorry, but I already have many people to take care of. Some girls here can get pretty demanding, you know? Good luck to everyone!”
The player widened his eyes, “So that’s why he whistled like that! He has a relationship with more than just one girl! Damn it! Life is never fair!”
He clenched his hand, hitting his knee once again. But this time, the player was so jealous that he used more strength than ever. Now, it was as if his soul wrapped half of his mana around his fist.
BANG!
[Your knee has been broken.]
[You have lost -640 HP!]
[You can barely move your right leg.]
[Your stamina has been depleted by 30%]
[Negative effect, Broken Knee, has been applied.]
“Brother…” the player let out tears that had crumbled profusely on his cheeks.
Those were tears of jealousy, though. With that jealousy, the player would strive for a better future. If there was a guy with a harem, then there was no way he would never be able to get at least one girl for himself.
At worst, he would just go for a pretty lady in the village and start a different life! Gaming in the Avander World wasn’t just about killing monsters and leveling up. More players began realizing it as time passed on.
At the same time, other players from the same carriage exchanged glances. They nodded as if a few messages went through their chat, then hopped off the carriage.
They followed Alex.

Alex had honed his battle experience enough to notice people following him from behind…
And since those were players he had an eye on, Alex didn’t have problems finding them. Besides that, the players rarely hid well unless their class was [Assassin] or [Thief] or any other class that allowed them to be sneaky.
Alex wasn’t stupid, either. He moved through the forest, using trees to his advantage. That thwarted the enemy players’ plan.
‘They have a party with two mages and one archer. Of course, I will use the shortcut,’ he snickered at them.
Other than these three, the party had a tank and swordsman. The latter rushed in between the trees; his speed was escalating rapidly as he aimed at Alex’s neck.
Alex chuckled, “That’s what I have been waiting for!”
He turned around and stomped on the ground toward his first enemy. Alex didn’t move just in a straight line, though. He moved around the enemy’s long-distance classes’ vision, not letting them locate him easily.
BANG!
The enemy player felt his boots sinking into the ground as the swords clashed. He even dug the soil as Alex pushed him forward.
[Your sword, Alan’s Steel Sword, has lost thirty-four durability!]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What?!” the swordsman cried, not being able to fathom Alex’s strength.
Alex chuckled, “That’s the power of equipment you want to snatch. And I also have a higher level than you all, so…”
These two exchanged three more moves. In that short exchange, the enemy swordsman’s sword cracked three times! His durability fell to dangerous levels, bringing his sword closer to self-destruction.
Alex wasn’t trying hard here. If he did, he would’ve inflicted a few [Cold Slashes] on the enemy’s body already.
He felt that much gap.
He gazed at them with a bright smile, which looked like a condescending smile to others.
Before Alex moved, his body suddenly let out an orange light.
[Tomo Homie has cast ‘High Stamina Regeneration’ on you.]
“We heard about a handsome guy in cool clothes on his way here! How come I ended up thinking about you immediately, Alex?!” Tomo Homie asked before erupting with hearty laughter.
It was just one of the healer’s normal skills and his friend’s laughter, yet Alex felt a warmth within his heart. He didn’t expect to feel so much excitement just from hearing him and receiving a buff from his friend.
It was not comparable to Stella’s support skills. She was a peculiar case, and Stella would always evoke strong emotions within Alex’s heart. And for all this time, Alex had been talking with his friends about the game at the school.
They never had a talk in that fantasy world, so hearing one of them already excited Alex as he would soon have much more fun with them all.
‘Thanks for looking out for me, Olivia… I really wanted to play with the boys,’ Alex whispered inwardly before replying to Tomo Homie, “We chase after them! We will use these mobs to reveal our skills!”
“Hah! Someone is too excited! Join our party first, Alex!” Tomo Homie replied, not minding killing some fools who dared to attack his homie.
[You have received an invitation to the party, Homies.]
[Alexander Deathwill has joined your party.]
“Huh?” Tomo Homie blinked his eyes at Alex’s nickname.
