God Vessel Online

Chapter 1: Solo Charge

"Are you, perchance, heading to Death's Rift?"

"I dunno, is that how ya call that dumb area with the skeletons? That's where I'm going."

"I see... I wouldn't go alone if I were you."

"Huuuh?"

"The Grim Reaper appeared again. They are organizing a party against him right now."

The hooded man pointed toward a gathering of players. They were chatting and exchanging items with each other.

"Oh! Is he a freakin' strong boss or something?!"

Mina's eyes lit in excitement.

"A boss, you ask? He's in a league of his own, that abomination."

The man shook his head with a serious expression.

"He appears in Deah's Rift about once a week. To whoever crosses his path... there's only death. Even seasoned warriors fall before him."

The man sharply eyed Mina, trying to deliver the gravity of the topic. However, Mina responded with a shrug and grinned in confidence.

"No biggie, I can handle stuff myself."

"Really now..."

The man examined Mina's avatar in surprise.

She was a small girl with red hair, roughly 12 years old. She wielded very big axes for her petite frame and her right arm was safely covered with a metal gauntlet. However, her equipment was otherwise light and hardly offered any protection.

"Anyways, old man! Do ya have any dumb quests for me? Like hunting down that reaper dude or whatever."

"Hunt the Grim Reaper, huh... no, I'm just here to warn you."

"Then seeya! If I come across that reaper dude - I'll make sure to kick his dumb ass!"

"... you'll die, girlie."

"No sweat! I can always respawn and try again!"

"It might not go as smoothly as you think..."

The man mumbled, but Mina already disappeared.

Shortly after leaving the village, Mina entered a big swamp area.

Okay, first this stinky dumb swamp.

Mina didn't have any hunting quests for the mobs in the swamp. Therefore, she tried to blitz through without clashing with the swamp dwellers.

However, that proved difficult.

"Shaaa!!!"

"Fuck!"

A huge anaconda lunged at Mina from within the swamp.

Flash Step!

Mina's right leg emitted a yellow glow for an instant.

"Shaa!?"

The anaconda's poisonous fangs were confirmed to dig into Mina's flesh... but they hit nothing.

"Take that, fucker!"

Two axes rained upon the snake's defenseless back, delivering fatal damage and felling it in one blow.

"Bah, annoying bastards."

She kicked the corpse of the dead snake and continued to traverse through the muddy swamp.

"Shaaa!!!"

"Come, bitch!"

"Shaaa- GEHHH!"

Another snake met its end under the weight of Mina's giant axes.
