There were 60 players per city, with Border Town having 10 more players because the forest was included in this update. So a total of 70 players appeared in Border Town at once.
"Wow!"
"It looks so real!"
"Hey! Punch me!"
-Punch!
"Ow! It stings a little! Hahahaha!"
"Idiots!"
"Can we take off all our clothes?"
"Eww! What are you doing?!!"
"Tch! We can't take off our pants!"
All sorts of players play the game. And you find varieties from the very start... that is the nature of players no matter where you go.
And one such player, Fredrick Ebony, wasn't much different from the others. Curious, excited, he has been looking forward to this game for a very long time.
He had played a copious amount of games before, but nothing serious enough to make his career. He played for fun. For him, money was secondary to gaming. It was a fun activity and not a job.
If one started playing like it was a job, then they may even lose the little interest they have in what they truly enjoy.
"So. Where should I begin this time?" Fredrick, or in this game world, Black Scythe, looked at the realistic medieval streets around him.
While most people were mesmerized, Black Scythe started walking down the alleyways immediately. That is where the hidden quests are in general.
His gaming senses tingled as he began walking from one alley to another, where he found less and less people present in those parts.
"The NPCs are too real in this game," he felt a chill down his spine looking at the strange gazes of those people from the Border Town. But paying no heed, he kept walking until he reached a street where the people were scarcer than in the center area.
Black Scythe looked around to find anything worth noticing. Whether it was the streets, the people, the houses, anything was useful, as long as it felt interesting.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
And behind him was a girl standing in black clothes. At her top was a blinking blue coloured name,
[Raven. Level 1]
She was another player like him.
"What do you want?" Black Scythe asked as he looked at Raven, who seemed curious about what Black Scythe was doing.
"I just saw you running away. You are trying to find a hidden quest, aren't you?" She smiled as she saw right through Black Scythe, while he sighed.

"How much money do you have?" Raven asked as she looked at those arrays for a few minutes, while Black Scythe looked at Raven with an odd look.
"The starter amount. 20 Copper coins. Why do you ask?" He asked her, wondering if she got any more or any less.
"I got 34 copper. Found a couple of coins lying about the streets," Raven had a little smug face as she looked at the dumbfounded face of Black Scythe.
"You can do that?!" Shocked, he looked at Raven, who laughed a little before asking,
"If you have [Lesser Arrays], that means that you must also have [Arrays] and [Greater Arrays]?"
Leena looked at that girl before pondering for a while before speaking,"I can show you the normal [Arrays] but for the [Greater Arrays], I would need to talk with my master."
