Isaac opened his eyes and saw him standing in the middle of the street.
The buildings around him were medieval-styled, and the streets didn't have road— instead, it was mostly dirt and soil.
Players and NPC's alike was walking on the streets in harmony.
But they have major differences.
Players looked excited while looking at everything, and their outfit was different from ordinary NPC.
While NPC's were acting normally like they are real residents of this village. There were some NPC's with families, some NPC's were flirting with other NPC's, and it felt like they were real.
Isaac looked at his outfit and saw him wearing a white shirt with brown-colored leather pants.
[Welcome to Swornword Village!]
A message popped up in front of Isaac.
''Swornword...'' Isaac murmured.
''Interface,'' Isaac murmured, and the familiar blue-colored Interface appeared in front of him, but the Interface was slightly different this time.

[Map]
[Inventory]
[Help]
[Log Out]
Isaac pressed [Map], and it showed the map of the village.
It wasn't big, only about 1 kilometer in length in total.
''There is no way this village can hold thousands of people... The spawn must be random.'' Isaac thought aloud.
He saw streets being quite busy with excited players, trying to find Quests or monsters to kill.
Isaac pressed [Inventory]
[Inventory: Slingshot - 100 Rock Bullets]
[Slingshot - Rank: White]
Isaac took the slingshot, and he facepalmed.
The slingshot had a Y-shape frame, with two rubber bands attached to the upper two ends.
It was the similar-looking slingshot he remembered from childhood, and this was supposed to be his weapon.
He saw some players holding a wooden sword— they are probably part of the Swordsman or Knight class.
Isaac took the 100 Rock Bullets from the Inventory, and a small pouch appeared on his hand.
He opened it and saw 100 tiny rocks.
Isaac sighed and tied the pouch on his waist, and put the slingshot back to the Inventory.
He started strolling on the streets, trying to find anything interesting.
But what he saw shocked him.
Players who annoyed NPC's was getting their ass kicked.
Some Players tried to grope a female NPC, but the NPC easily defeated them, and then NPC Guards came and put them in jail.
''Deserved...'' Isaac murmured and started walking towards the biggest building in the village.
He saw dozens of players gathered there, and some of them were arguing with two Guards.
''LET US PASS!'' One of the players shouted.
The Guard didn't change his expression, ''This is Village Chief's home. You don't have permission to enter.''
''SHUT UP, YOU ARE NOTHING BUT NPC, YOU DARE TO STAY IN FRONT OF ME?!'' The player shouted and tried to enter forcefully, but Guard unsheathed his sword and swung it.
The player widened his eyes, but then his head was separated from his body.
[DEAD!]
Those words appeared on the top of the dead player's head, and the player's body started slowly disappearing into pixels.
Isaac shook his head, ''I wonder what the death penalty is.''
He was curious and opened his Interface.
He pressed [Help] and started reading through.
The First 3 pages didn't have anything special, but then he saw the text about the death penalty.
[Death Penalty: Once your HP reaches 0, and you die. Your Level will be lowered by 5, and you can't play for a week]
[Legacy Death Penalty: If you have Legacy and you die. You will lose your Legacy. Your Level won't be lowered, and you don't have cooldown]
[What happens to Legacy: Your Legacy will return to the game. You can't get the same Legacy twice]
[Legacy: Two people can't get the same Legacy]
''Whew...'' Isaac took a deep breath, ''That death penalty is harsh!''
''I wonder what happened to that player... He was Level 1.'' Isaac shrugged his shoulders; he turned around and started walking towards the exit of the village.
The shops he saw were mostly about armory, and weapons.
Shortly afterward, he arrived at the exit of the village, and it also had two guards.
They mostly keep an eye on the people entering the village— they don't really care about the people leaving.
Isaac with ease left the village and started walking on the dirt road.
He saw players running ahead of him, but sometimes they looked very exhausted and had to stop moving to catch their breath.
Isaac decided to try it out and started running.
He ran past the exhausted players and arrived at the Forest with ease, and he wasn't even exhausted.
''Did they not put any stat points in Stamina or what?'' Isaac thought aloud.
[Welcome to Newbie Forest!]
[Level Limit: 1 - 10]
Isaac saw the text and entered the forest.
Isaac took his slingshot from the Inventory and started carefully walking, dodging every twig and stick.
When he walked only 50 meters into the forest, he noticed a small space without any trees.
Isaac carefully stepped forwards but then stopped moving.
He saw three small animals.
[Baby Wolf]
[Level: 2]
[HP: 14/14]
He saw three Baby Wolf's but they were level higher.
But their HP was not that high, Isaac decided to try.
'First try... Let's see.' Isaac thought to himself and aimed the slingshot towards the first baby wolf.
He took one rock bullet from the pouch and put it on the rubber band.
''Whew...'' Isaac took a deep breath and started aiming towards the baby wolves.
His hand was in an awkward spot, but soon Isaac found a better way to hold it, and his hand stopped trembling.
''Whew...'' Isaac took a deep breath— he closed his right eye and saw it being perfectly lined up.
And then...
Isaac let go of the rubber band.
The rock bullet flew through the air.
The baby wolf turned his head but then saw a flying item flying straight towards his face.
*BAM*
The rock hit him perfectly in the head, and he fell down on the ground.
The two other baby wolves roared in anger, they both angrily turned their heads towards the forest, but they didn't know where the rock came from.
Isaac saw a text in front of him.
[-9 HP]
'Only 9?! Damn!' Isaac quickly took another rock and aimed it towards the baby wolf, who was about to use his four limbs to stand up.
*Whish*
Another rock left Isaac's slingshot and hit straight at the baby wolf's torso.
[-6 HP]
[You have killed Baby Wolf!]
[5 XP Earned!]
''Yes...'' Isaac cheered quietly, but then he saw two baby wolves angrily growling towards him.
''U-Umm...'' Isaac turned around and started running away.
The baby wolves started running after him.
''DAAAMN!'' Isaac shouted and left the forest— he started running away from the forest.
He glanced behind him and saw that the baby wolves were still following him!
''NOT GOOD!''
