If any current players were to look at Jaden's stats, they would probably think he was a crazy lunatic for adding all of his stat points into strength.

Such a build was called a glass cannon.

While he might possess attack power way beyond his peers with the same level, his health was so low and defense so fragile that one attack from a higher-leveled monster would instantly kill him.

For a player to go for such a stat build is either a crazy lunatic or an overconfident lunatic.

However, it was a good thing that Jaden was quite different from your average young lad and typical crazy lunatics.

Since he entered the game, he hasn't taken a single damage from monsters. His health remained untouched all this time, except for when he summoned Abaddon which took 50% of his current HP.

People might call him a hacker in a fit of shock if the rest of the player-base community were to know this fact.

To not get damaged even once despite hunting several higher-leveled monsters, even for Earth's martial arts grandmasters, how would that be possible?

After all, the difference between using a virtual body and one's real body is nothing insignificant.

Adapting to a virtual body was easier said than done!

"Hmm, let's fix this guy's free stat points first..." Jaden grinned as he stared at Abaddon who was clad in a rusty armor and sword.

After hunting several Skeleton Warriors for two hours, his level rose by two, and three for Abaddon.

"I guess I should start hunting monsters stronger than Skeleton Warriors," Jaden said.

A few hours earlier, his experience bar rose rapidly as if it was on steroids. Now that he was Level 8, however, although it's speed wasn't slow, it wasn't as fast anymore.

Of course, in Jaden's perspective, it was extremely slow.

Before, he only needed to take down one Skeleton Warrior to level up once or twice, but now, he needed to take down at least five to level up.

"Hmm, since I and Abaddon share the EXP we get, if I leave this guy to hunt in this area while I go for stronger monsters, our leveling speed should increase, right?" Jaden whispered as he shifted his eyes onto Abaddon.

Clack clack?

After leaving Abaddon to fend for himself against a Skeleton Warrior earlier, the little skeleton was actually able to win through kiting and basic swordsmanship.

After all, after fighting Jaden, how could a Skeleton Warrior's dull fighting skills compare?

Although dealing with two or more Skeleton Warriors would be pushing it, now that Abaddon was level 5 and was wearing multiple dropped equipments, hunting a lone Skeleton Warrior would be doable.

And if Abaddon's level went even further, hunting multiple monsters would definitely be possible.

'His combat experience should also develop if he were to continuously hunt by himself.' Jaden thought.

"Ok." he decided as he clapped his hands. "Abaddon."

Clack!

Staring at the skeleton's gaping eye-sockets, Jaden grinned. "Since you're still too weak to fight higher-leveled monsters, you must continuously hunt Skeleton Warriors in this area by yourself."

Clack? Abaddon tilted its head in confusion.

"I won't always be able to help you. You need to get stronger by yourself if you want to follow me in the future, understood?"

Clack clack...

With its head lowered as if ashamed, Abaddon's jaws moved up and down, seemingly reluctant.

'Hehe, cute.' Jaden grinned and stroke the skeleton's smooth skull.

"Well then, I'll go now." he laughed. "You need to be stronger when I see you again, okay?"

Clack! Clack!

"Good." he smiled as he turned around and walked away.

...clack, clack...

The gloomy clouds up on the sky and desolately dark wasteland around made a picturesque scene of a little armored skeleton waving its bony hands goodbye towards a young man's back.

Although a bit strange, it was nonetheless a unique scene.

The two separated as quickly and relaxedly they met.

*****

Meanwhile, a few miles away, a proud kingdom stood.

Buildings made of the rarest of ores and metals towered up the sky, exuding a sense of dignity and pride through and through. Some of them seemed to be inspired by the medieval era while some simply screamed the words 'fantasy world'.

The towering walls that circled the capital were built with the best of the best of magical stones and minerals. They were built so tall that even hulking monsters such as trolls and ogres would be dwarfed in comparison. It seemed impenetrable, capable of withstanding the long vicissitudes of time.

Sacred temples for worshipping different gods were present. Priests and bishops could be seen coming in and out of their sacred ground as they held holy books and tools.

Huge arenas for entertainment were also there, seemingly used for gladiator fights and tournaments. A countless number of people flocked here and there as bulky fighters and warriors made their way inside.

Grand mansions, villas, luxurious restaurants, common houses, every building that was designed could be said to be dignified and refined, yet delicate and classic at the same time.

This kingdom is EverGuard.

At this moment, at the heart of the kingdom, a golden-colored colossal palace stood, seemingly made of gold.

Hundreds of royal guards protected the place as they shifted their schedules between themselves. The security was so tight that even a fly wouldn't be able to get in.

Within the Keep, an exalted golden throne could be seen in the heart of the palace.

A man sat there.

It was the King of EverGuard.

Long, platinum-colored hair fell on the man's shoulder like a waterfall.

He wore a delicate golden robe that screamed the words 'luxurious' as a black shield with a golden dragon inside could be seen depicted throughout the surface. The clothing seemed to be made by the best amongst tailors.

The crown atop his contrasting white-platinum hair was the color of gold and precious gems of different colors were socketed, circling around.

Right then, the king stood up.

A deep majestic voice was heard.

"Heaven-blessed individual," he said as his crimson eyes stared at the kneeling figure below his throne. "Tell me your name."

The figure on one-knee looked up, leaving the king in marvel as he looked at the otherworldly beautiful face.

"Your Majesty, my name is Queen."

As Queen looked at the king sitting on the throne, she couldn't help but be shocked inwardly at the status page that appeared in his eyes.

'Crazy.' Queen thought in her head as she saw the ??? in the status window.

'And those titles!' her eyes were stuck at the words [The Young Legend]. Her heart started to rapidly beat as the words the Destiny Group stated right before the game's launch reappeared in her head.
