Chapter 16: First time in Apidon world: RUN !

As soon as he finished his strange warning, the coin suddenly flashed so brightly that it made Ibro unable to open his eyes.

Before he could say anything, he found himself in a totally strange place. It was different from the ruins he was in. He teleported successfully to the Mythic city of Apidon.

He remembered the words of the Apidonian man. He moved quickly and ran with his full speed.

He did not know what he was running from, nor did he know where he was running. Everything around him looked strange. 

He was not in a city but in the wilderness. He hoped to get to the walls of the city as soon as possible to feel safe.

He kept running without pause following the advice of the Apidonian. After a long time of running in this deserted place, he felt doubt about Mirath words.

He didn't even meet a fly! He suddenly found a huge tree on the horizon. He quickly moved towards it deciding to have some rest. Within minutes he reached the tree.

As soon as he reached the tree, he was stunned by the greatness of its trunk. It needed at least a hundred men to surround it with their arms. As for its length, it may resemble a skyscraper in real life.

He stopped in front of the tree, breathing heavily with a tired look. He kept looking around in caution for any sign of any possible danger.

"Boy, what are you doing on the ground like this, do you want to die?"

He was shocked by this sudden sound. He looked up towards the source of the sound which came from the tree. This was the second time in a row that someone surprised him without warning in less than half an hour!

Did all the Apidonians love this way of talking to strangers? High up in the tree he found a man standing on one of the thick branches steadily. He held a giant bow in his left hand and his clothes revealed his class.

He was an archer or perhaps a hunter. The important thing was that he finally found a person talking to him face to face in this haunted place.

"I don't know what to do. This is my first time in the Mythic city of Apidon."

"Mythic city of Apidon? We are not in the Mythic city of Apidon, boy. This is apparently your first time to this place. 

You boy are very far from the Mythic city of Apidon. There is no time for you to talk, first climb the tree quickly, or you will die!"

Ibro did not know whether to trust him or not. When he looked back at his deadly weapon he was carrying he decided to trust him temporarily. 

If this hunter wanted him dead, he would have killed him before Ibro knew of his existence!

In addition, his warning was in the same line with the warning and words of Mirath. Ibro looked at the thick tree bark and its pointed long projections. He did not hesitate for a moment afterward then began his ascension.

He almost fell from his pain as a result of being injured by those sharp pointy spikes that bulged out of the bark of the tree. Compared to its giant size, these spikes looked like small nails.

It took him a full hour until he reached the man. Ibro sat on a branch opposite to him, taking his breath with difficulty.

"The one who teleported me here warned me of the dangers of the place and you too. Where is the danger that you both are afraid of?"

The man did not answer him but pointed downward with his index finger. Ibro followed the direction of his finger to find what made his body shiver from fear.

Down there, in the place where he was standing, the earth suddenly cracked in complete silence.

A huge predator monster appeared from this crack. It had a whale-like head almost reaching more than fifty meters in length.

The jaw was wide open and the teeth of this deadly jaw surrounded the oval cavity from all sides like long spears.

In seconds, the monster sank. It disappeared in the ground with complete silence as if it was a whale swimming in the ocean.

Ibro felt his mind was frozen. If he had stood in his place when he appeared in this world, he might have become food in the stomach of this monster. 

His breath accelerated and he tried to calm himself with difficulty. He looked at the man with gratitude as he said:

"I owe you my life."

The man looked at him as if what he had done was not a big deal, and then he said:

"Don't mention it. All Pnroians should always help each other in the world behind the walls of Apidon."

The words that this stranger just said surprised him. Was Pnro another name people who lived here called about the city and the surrounding area?

This man has said before that he was very far from the Mythic city of Apidon. So where was he now?

"Am I in Pnro or in Apidon?"

The man looked at him strangely at first then he remembered that he was a newcomer to this world. He said patiently trying to explain:

"The world we are in now is called Pnro. Pnro is the name of the first person who crossed the walls of Apidon to enter this world. 

Everyone in the world behind the walls of Apidon carries the name of Pnro. My name is Palry Pnro, and what is your name?"

Ibro did not believe most of his words but still replied:

"My name is Ibro Pnro."

"Welcome, Ibro. Hold on, your level is only 15? How did you get here? How did the observers allow you to enter? This place is a death trap for you Ibro."

Ibro looked at Palry silently, trying to assess him. Ibro cut his story short and told him what happened with Mirath. After Ibro finished, the man said in astonishment:

"Are you a new player in a world discovered by Rioneed? Your trip is miraculous and fast. In my opinion, you should have followed the observer's warning because this world is very dangerous."

"I didn't have any other option, Palry. But where are we now? What is this monster that almost devoured me? And why are we hiding it here up the tree? How do I go to the Mythic city of Apidon?"

"You love asking questions. Ok, I will tell you."

Ibro was silent, thinking about the words of Palry. His five years' experience in the game had granted him an attitude of not to trust any stranger.

Never trust strangers in Rioneed, which was a golden rule for all experienced players. He doubted Palry from the very beginning so he didn't choose to stand on the same branch as him.

"We are now in a world called Pnro Somil, or as everyone calls it Pnro. It is a world that you can consider dying. The new blood like you is what keeps this world alive.

Without new players like you, this world would have gone extinct long ago. The world is divided into two big sections: the original inhabitants of the Pnro world and the invaders from outside."

"Do you mean that I am one of the invaders?"

"No, anyone who comes here is always a part of the world inhabitants and is considered to be a Pnroian indigenous people. But monsters like you just saw now are the invaders.

Nobody knows where they came from, but everyone knows their target. They aim to get rid of the indigenous people of Pnro and dominate the whole world and its associated worlds.

As for me and you, my friend, we are considered to be the resistance, or rather what is left of it. We are losing the war."

"So we are now in a totally devastated world. But what is the role of Mythic city of Apidon from all this?"

"Mythic city of Apidon is a city founded by the first inhabitants of this world. It is said by hearsay that it was founded by Pnro Somil himself.

It is located close to the center of Pnro World, and we are now located on the outskirts of the world, behind the famous Apidon Wall. There is a very big distance that you can never imagine!"

"But I know that if I used the Apidon coin I would go to Mythic city of Apidon."

A strange smile appeared on the face with Palry who said:

"The Apidon coin only transports you behind the walls of Apidon. It's also the currency in the world of Pnro. You can use it to obtain resources or even buy your own house in the Mythic city of Apidon.

Do you know that the Apidon coin is released on certain occasions with a very limited amount? A person cannot obtain the Apidon coin easily. 

The new coins will be distributed to the newly discovered worlds to allow new players to join this fight.

Every time Rioneed game discovers a new world, new Apidon coins will be produced and released there. That is the only occasion for producing new coins. Do you know that Apidon coin has a characteristic feature?"

Ibro felt that the words of Palry were taking a strange turn. He became increasingly suspicious about him. But he continued his conversation with him normally:

"No, what is this feature?"
