Supreme Archer: Taking The Game's Weakest Class To The Top

Jake felt odd about monsters having unusual protection in The Oath Kingdom and their territories.

It didn't make much sense to him, as those monsters could be powerful outside the kingdom's boundaries.

If lack of oath could even reduce Jake's damage up to fifty percent, what about others?

Such a thought didn't bode well for The Warmonger Empire's future. What if those monsters suddenly trespassed the borders and invaded the empire's territories to broaden their lands?

"I think others would find you weird, Jake," Maria said after hearing Jake's thoughts about The Oath Kingdom.

She intrigued him.

Jake turned his eyes to her, compelling her to explain herself.

Maria smiled. "Most players would run to the capital or the closest noble for oaths. Instead of questioning them, they would take them for granted. It's just a part of the game, isn't it? Something that makes The Oath Kingdom different than The Warmonger Empire, which is separated into houses, each having their territories tailored to their weapons."

The Warmonger Empire and their royalties were masters of weapons. Their capital, one of the main respawn points, had various weapons for players, facilitating them to many unique styles.

Each weapon then could be perfected in other territories of the same empire, belonging to other nobles.

Those territories had monsters varying from low to high levels! There were dungeons with different difficulties and more mysteries dwelling in each land.

The Oath Kingdom differed from The Warmonger Empire by having a different royal circle and oaths.

The latter was the main game changer that truly turned the kingdom into one of the powerhouses. By tracing The Oath Kingdom's history back to its roots, one would learn that those oaths saved the royal tree and helped them secure their land from other invaders.

"It means that The Oath Kingdom is much closer to the statues, right?" Jake asked, looking serious.

Though Maria only saw an outline of his face, she could hear his mood change in his voice.

She nodded. "I believe so."

Jake sighed. "I see."

He calmed himself.

It wasn't like Maria knew about the statues and their schemes. Even The Warmonger Empire wasn't spared from their influence, so most people would find them a part of the lore like Maria found the oath system.

He understood what she meant by saying he was the odd one.

It was just the game.

But Jake thought about the oaths from a different perspective, one would call it a real-life perspective. The dangers that came with it were something no one would accept in real life.

Because of them, Jake was unconsciously worried about his friends in The Warmonger Empire, particularly The Asta Bow House that bordered The Oath Kingdom.

Those people helped him grow as a person. Jake's major growth happened exactly in the game. He couldn't see it just as a game because of the close relationships he formed with others.

As of now, the world is in a stalemate.

But what would happen if things suddenly broke out?

Jake shoved this thought deep into his heart as he made his way toward The Oath Kingdom's capital—Promise.

-

Two days passed.

Maria was still a part of Jake's adventure. She told him she would adventure with him to The Oath Kingdom's capital and beyond, meaning she could only win this many hours away from her guild and protective older sister.

"We must reach Promise today by the evening! It's very important!" Maria said.

Not aware of what she meant, Jake nodded. In those two days, Jake and Maria stomped only on the thoroughfare. No one really stopped them, save for a few runaway monsters and NPCs in need.

Those short quests offered little, but Jake and Maria were more than delighted to help others and learn about the world in this way.

Jake's stream continued as usual. It was more than casual since Jake and Maria had adventures without local quests or goals.

The radio feature was also included in the game system. The last time Jake heard about it was from Sin, who had casually told him about it when they had been keeping tabs on the fake ore vein.

It was now a reality, and one of the most popular singers was next to Jake.

It felt surreal, really.

"I'll talk with my manager about a discount for Jake's stream!" Maria said.

Jake's chat naturally exploded with enthusiasm. Anything free or discounted was the best!

While these two engaged in the chat, Jake's companions were naturally a part of the stream. These four hadn't said much, bar Ender, who could interact with the chat and get tricked by Jake's viewers to ask him stupid questions.

Odin was running in the front with Wukong. These two were the most active.

The only lady in Jake's team, Medusa, was the opposite, curled up in Jake's chest pocket.

What Jake didn't know was that Medusa was in a terrible mood. She had learned that Jake had a girlfriend and that the purpose of them going North was to meet her.

Jake shared that with Maria offstream.

Clueless about her feelings, as Medusa was also a baby girl, the young snake tucked herself into her nest, dealing with them on her own as naive kids would.

That, however, had triggered the change even Jake would expect soon.

Meanwhile, he could see that his stream's numbers had suddenly skyrocketed.

He wasn't surprised to see the drop in the past two days because of his stream and lack of anything engaging, but the sudden jump in viewers had made him curious about Maria's words.

"What is going to happen in Promise?" he asked despite not wanting to know any spoilers.

Maria chuckled, "No spoilers. You're lucky to see it, too! Ah, I can sense more lives and people! It must be the guards and the capital's border! Let's run!"

Switching from walking to running, Maria went past Odin and Wukong.

Odin howled! Someone wanted to snatch his front! He ran after Maria.

Jake sighed with a faint smile before picking up the pace and joining her abreast.

Whatever was going to happen in Promise should be damn exciting!

Author's note: The irregular uploads are the reason of my burnout. I'll deal with it this month and prepare for August, so that I can upload daily along with my next book. I don't want my August book to be an escape or a method to deal with burnout. I want to write two ongoing stories, so I will use this month to cure my burnout caused by writing archer non-stop for 7 months.

Sorry and I hope you guys understand me.
