Now I didnā€™t have to worry about dying, becauseā€¦

Wait! Phobos was dead, but where was my experience for killing him? At level 19, the orc should have given me enough for several levels! I checked my exp bar in disbelief ā€” still empty. Still zero points!

The orcā€™s corpse hadnā€™t yet touched the ground when I noticed the figure of Smoothie in the corner of my eye. The mage girl stood, her arm raised, her fingers spread and emitting a glimmering spectral slime. The substance froze and took on the shape of the Ephemeral Web of Pacification. I flew away from the sinister net, but she ran after me, her speed overtaking mine.

Somewhere behind me, Riker was preparing to attack from stealth ā€” the grass behind me crumpled beneath his feet. Instead of dodging, I met him with a strike. Turning sharply, I launched a Combo out in random directions, trying to hit out in as wide an angle as possible where I thought the rogue might be hiding. Riker was knocked out of Stealth and I watched as his body broke beneath each successful strike in the combo. It only took one to bring the vampire down ā€” Rindzinā€™s Ghostly Talon and rank-two unarmed combat more than made up for my low base damage.

ā€œNo-o-o-o-o!ā€ Smoothie wailed slowly in despair at the perfect time to remind me of my last foe.

I couldnā€™t stop the Combo after releasing it, so to make the hits land on something, I turned and directed the end of the attack at a new target, like a battle droid with a machine gun.

The mageā€™s web was already hanging above me and beginning to unfold into a dome. I was moving too slowly to escape, so I focused on my final enemy. The first hit on Smoothie broke her Mana Shield, she dodged another three by Blinking toward me, and only the fifth hit at point-blank range, dealing full damage and sending the foe to the graveyard.

I was thrown out of Clarity: Combo had eaten through all my spirit reserves. Each hit cost a hundred points and another fifty for every yard of range to the target. In that same moment, the Ephemeral Web of Pacification covered me, pinning me to the ground. Liberation didnā€™t work against the external crowd-control effect.

Thirty seconds immobile, minus fourteen health per second ā€” I had no chance. I dealt massive damage even by the standards of the top players in the Cursed Chasm, but my health was a pitifully low three hundred and ninety. I somehow hadnā€™t time to train it at level one.

The web cut into my body as its timer ticked down. It tightened, tearing into my flesh down to the bone. My health indicator started flashing in the red zone and I mentally tore out my hair. Iā€™d killed the three gankers only to be knocked out of the game by Smoothieā€™s farewell giftā€¦

ā€œScyth!ā€

I breathed in sharply, twisted aroundā€¦ Michelle! My heart skipped a beat. The dryad leapt out of the bushes, breaking through branches, then cast a Healing Wave as soon as she was within range. A warmth and freshness covered me, smelling of flowers and pine needles, and my health bar began to crawl upwards.

ā€œWhere are they?ā€ she asked. Then she noticed the corpses. Her eyes went wide. ā€œDid you do that yourself?ā€ Michelle turned as the rest of her group emerged from the woods. ā€œHe took them all out! At level 1! With the penalty! Guys, I was right, we can definitely win with him!ā€

ā€œThanks, Michelle, you came just in time!ā€

Only then did they all notice there was something wrong with me. My words stretched out into ā€˜tha-a-a-a-a-n-n-nksā€ as if I was in a slow-motion video. The raid started talking noisily, discussing my debuff.

Then the web disappeared, flashing as it went. I could move again. I activated Flight to get out as fast as I could, before the gankers came back with Destinyā€™s group in tow. Michelle watched me slowly ascend.

ā€œDestiny and her group wonā€™t be here for a while. Roman put a mass slaughter curse on their raid. We have ten minutes.ā€

ā€œRaging Bloodthirst! I had to spend my best-player reward, but it was worth it!ā€ the troll laughed. ā€œThey just started attacking each other in the village, trying to kill each other. The NPCs all ran and hid in their housesā€¦ Unfortunately, the effect didnā€™t last long and some survived, but they wonā€™t fight us alone, theyā€™ll wait for the others.

I wanted to ask why they didnā€™t finish them off, but then I understood: my allies were hurrying to me, and I doubted they could have taken out Destinyā€™s fierce fighters anyway.

A flickering glow and a cacophony of sound enveloped me for a few seconds: my allies were raining down regeneration buffs, resistances and stat bonuses on me, even a few magic shields.

ā€œHey, I didnā€™t get any experience!ā€ I said to my new friend. ā€œBut the guide says you should get exp for PvP. And Octius didnā€™t say anything aboutā€¦ā€

My voice was slow and elongated, and it must have been hard for the dryad to understand me, but Michelle got the picture.

ā€œOctius didnā€™t say it because the village elder says it when you first meet him. You didnā€™t get the chance to see him. Anyway, thatā€™s just one of the changes out of a range of surprises,ā€ she answered. ā€œThe developers introduced Demonic Brandy this year. Itā€™s sold in the tavern, and it isnā€™t cheap. It gives a penalty to damage against demons, but allows you to get experience for PvP.ā€

ā€œAnd when someone drinks it, thereā€™s an announcement in the village chat,ā€ added Olga the dancer, a cute centaur girl. ā€œBut nobody drinks it, because itā€™s easier to kill a mob than a player. And the experience works on the same principle. So whatā€™s the point? One point for killing an equal
