Alantina Online: The Greatest Sword Mage Reborn As A Weak NPC

'P.s.: The tear-shaped object is called Angel's Tear. It is something I found a while ago and will protect you in your time of need. Always keep it on you, day and night. Promise me you will never take it off.'

Ricky looked at the letter and then at the Angel's Tear and sighed. He picked it up to see a string attached to it so he could hang it around his neck. He felt strange when holding the object, as if it had great power. But what Ricky did not understand was where did Vance get such an item. He looked at it for a while before putting it around his neck. He would be sure to do as his son said.

"You little shit…." Ricky leaned back in his chair, his eyes red. He was feeling slightly lonely.

"Not bad, 3 levels…." Vance rubbed his chin and looked at his stats. He was only now dishing out his status points. "I should probably work on trying to activate my heal next. Fireball was easy but heal has a more complex magic circle…."

Vance was currently sitting on a large rock just off the side of the road. He had been killing rabbigoons. A rabbit-like monster with large fangs and sharp claws. Rabbigoons were known for being pack hunters and were carnivores. But they were tricky hunters. They would always hunt prey bigger than them. One would wander around alone and be used as bait. As soon as another larger monster goes in for the attack, the others would come out of hiding and attack the larger monster. It was always a sure kill because there would be so many rabbigoons that it would be impossible for the larger monster to escape.

But for Vance, they were easy to kill if you knew how to subdue them quickly. Wallow grass, a type of grass that is very common when mixed with silver tree bark, would give off a slowing effect to those who breathe it in. This powder was called Calming Powder. "Thanks to these little guys, I was able to gain both alchemy skills and foraging skills."

Vance looked into his inventory. He was still missing a few things to make a piece of armor, but once he did, he could finally get the leatherworking skill. "Alright, let's gather some items. If I remember correctly, there should be a unique monster not far from here. If I kill it, then it should drop some useful items that I can either keep or sell."

There were many different kinds of monsters in Alantina Online. First was your common monsters. These kinds of monsters could be found anywhere. They were considered trash mobs to players. But they were the starting point for any new player.

Second were elite monsters which were like common monsters but found in dungeons and raids. Once and a great while, you will find them lurking around outside a dungeon or raid entrance.

The third type were unique monsters. These were normally named after the area they were located in, along with their name. They would drop some decent items, sometimes many uncommon items, which would have a few extra stats attached to them. From there were the named monsters which were very powerful and had actual names. Normally it would be hard to defeat one alone. After named monsters were the boss-type monsters, starting from a quasi-boss all the way to high god/goddess. They normally needed large teams to raid teams to defeat.

Before Vance became an NPC, he had soloed every boss in game besides a few of the world bosses and ended up in his current state while fighting a high goddess. The High Goddess Saris. A beautiful woman with powers beyond a human's imagination. Vance felt that he would probably not be able to get any answers as to why he was now an NPC until after he had reached his former level and power as before. Then he would try to speak with this high goddess.

Vance made his way into the forest and killed any monsters that would attack him. He foraged for a few herbs he spotted before finally coming upon a small, broken-down hut. "Hmmm?" Vance frowned as he looked around. "Are unique monsters not around before the game opens?"

Vance slowly and carefully made his way to the hut and began looking around. He was looking for a treant sproutgoon. A tree like monster that was only a twig. It was normally only level 8, so Vance was sure he could easily defeat it if he was careful enough, but right now, he couldn't even find it.

Vance continued looking around, but even after searching the empty old hut and the surroundings, he could not find it. "Really?" Vance was quite disappointed. He had expected to use this to gain some quick cash so he could easily go back to his village and pick up Ricky and Maybel and bring them back to the capital to live.

"Maybe it is on a special spawn time…. If I remember correctly, I only ever fought it once, and that was at night." Thinking up to here, he decided to wait it out. Even if he stayed up all night, it would be better than missing this chance. He looked up at the clock in his peripheral vision and nodded. "Still five days to go…."

He had to complete all these things before plays joined. He would get a small house where players normally did not go, and hopefully, nothing would happen to Ricky while he was out. He feared players would kill them for one reason or another. It was not uncommon….

"The Phantasmal Forest Treant Sproutgoon will spawn outside, so I should be able to use this hut as a shelter for today and take a nap for the time being." Vance decided since he might be up all night, it was best to take a small rest first. But he would need to first make some kind of warning system in case something does try to sneak up on him.
