Fantasy Star Online's
15. The Spider Dungeon II
"Right wing! Hold it!"
Trang! Trang! Dugm!
In a place like a cave, a group of 16 players were fighting against spiders that were larger than them. They were surrounded by spiders there, trying to maintain the formation and penetrate into a deeper area.
"Avoid the net!"
A red-spotted spider was seen shooting a web from its mouth, it shot into the air and stretched, and it immediately fell down, 16 Players were trapped in the net.
"Damn it, the net is too hard!"
"Huh, I think this dungeon is too early for us."
"Hahaha, right, then. See you at the altar."
With parting words and laughter before their defeat, the sound of laughter buzzed in the cave, and finally the red-spotted spider and his flock killed them all.

In the Class Center lobby, a player carrying a spear on his back—Ryzen— was standing among the crowd of other players who were about to take a quest from the quest board.
"I think this one's pretty easy and the reward's pretty big."
Ryzen retracted the paper stamped on the board, then reread the contents before submitting it to the NPC who handled the quest acceptance and submission.

"Thousand Real is a good gift, if you buy HP potions, I can get ten potions. And if I collect up to ten thousand Rial, I can exchange it for money...., after a thought, what is the minimum amount for the withdrawal not too small?"
Ryzen thought, if the minimum amount for withdrawal or exchange of the amount Real to Rupiah was too small, the number, players can start exchanging with a minimum amount of ten thousand Rial which if to rupiah about one hundred thousand rupiah.
'Imagine, if hundreds or even thousands of players exchange their Real simultaneously, more or less the company would have to pay out around ten to hundreds of millions, ' Ryzen thought.
Ryzen has completely misunderstood the cryptocurrency system from Fantasy Star Online. In addition to just to exchange currency from Real to dollars or rupiah, because the game development company FSO has collaborated with other companies, such as, Real can also actually be used to buy products from companies that have collaborated with the FSO development company, since the beginning of the emergence of the game as well, there have been many companies that invest their wealth for the development of the game, because he thinks it will be profitable. So, no matter how many players exchange Real for money, it is impossible for the company to go bankrupt, in short, their presence is absolute, within a year it may be the company that now controls the world market.
Ryzen walked out of the crowd, heading towards the exit of the Class Center building. When he was about to get out, suddenly the door was pushed and opened wide, behind which there were dozens of people who were talking while laughing.
"Oh, who are you?"
One of them realized the whereabouts of Ryzen who was standing in front of all of them. His voice was like a magnet, it attracted the attention of all players even NPCs who were there.
"Me?" ryzen asked as he pointed to himself.
"Yes you."
"Woi, woi, what is ni— oh, just a mosquito?" tease one player with a character without hair.
"Here you go, Jack, you don't make a fuss here. Do you want to be punished?"
'Punished? ah, maybe the intent is punishment against players fighting illegally in the city, Ryzen thought.
The player swears and walks past Ryzen. "The next time I see you out of town, I'll hunt you down."
Then the other players followed him, the player who first asked Ryzen, had a large and tall appearance wearing gray heavy armor and carrying a sword and a large shield behind him. He patted Ryzen on the shoulder and lowered himself to whisper.
"Next time you have to be careful, as the man said, lest we see you outside the city" he whispered, then walked past.
After that, whispers from players who were there began to be heard.
"Aren't they from the Dungeon Raider group?"
"You mean the one who is famous for finishing dungeons in such a fast time? but why are they here, saying they're attacking the recently released Spider Dungeon?"
"Their members are averaging above level 100, what are they doing in the early city?"
"Who is Spearsman?"
"See, but I think he's been making trouble with them. I pity him...."
Ryzen ignored their words and exited the Class Center to the Quest Center which was right next to the building. Compared to the Class Center which has a magnificent interior and looks modern, the Quest Center looks more traditional, a lot of objects made of wood such as tables, chairs, and others.
Ryzen walked to the reception desk at the end, then made a request for the quest he had brought to the NPC.
Ryzen glanced at the nametag attached to the woman's receptionist outfit and found out her name turned out to be the same as the one mentioned in the tab quest, Deia.
After Ryzen handed the quest paper over, Deia immediately checked it. After a few seconds of reading it, he saw Ryzen.
"You'll receive this quest, are you sure?" ask Deia.
"Yes, besides being easy, the reward is also good enough for someone like me," Ryzen replied with a small smile.
"Hmm, okay...."
Deia looked back at the paper in her hand and then stamped it, after the paper was stamped, looking like a small light bursting out from the stamp on the paper.
"Thank you for accepting this quest. By the way, according to the quest giver or the mother of this missing child, his last son was lost around the northern area of the city, you can search around there, and for his characteristics as follows...."
The boy was a man and had long, unkempt, messy black hair, at first glance because of his hair he looked like a girl. His eyes were a lustrous grey, and about 132 cm tall, he wore black clothes before disappearing.
After learning the child's characteristics, Ryzen immediately went to look for him, to the northern area of the city.
Perhaps you will ask, why should such a thing alone be left to adventurers or perhaps volunteers to search for a lost child, and not the party from the Quest Center itself who is looking for it, right? actually, before the quest was spread, their side had already searched all over the city area, but could not find it. Then they think, by asking others for help, it might be easier, why? according to his mother, his son was eager to adventure and kill monsters, it was possible that if an adventurer or player were to look for him, the child would come out by itself in the vast city.
Ryzen had already reached the northern area, it took him about 15 minutes to get there on foot, and fortunately again he had just arrived there, it took him about 15 minutes to get there on foot, he had already found a small child that was as appropriate as his traits. As Ryzen was about to approach him, the boy's body looked like it was jumping and finally ran away from Ryzen.
"Wait!"
Ryzen chased after him and without realizing it, after a few minutes of chasing the young boy who ran fast, he was in a slum house.
"... I didn't expect that there would be a place like this, if in the RPG game I played a lot, this place was called Slums."
Slums are also called slums or neighborhoods that are irregular and dirty, usually people who live here are not civilized and often act arbitrarily. Even murders and thefts in this area have happened very often, it's because the city guards are not on duty in this area.
Knowing this, Ryzen wildly assumed, "If this place is not monitored by the city guards, does that mean that players who perform PK here will also not be punished?" muttered.
Just as he said that, a red panel suddenly appeared in his vision.
"{Warning! This is a red area! PK are allowed here!}"
Meaning, Warning! This is the red area! PK is allowed here!
"Surely, anyway."
Ryzen walked while increasing his vigilance towards the player who did PK as well as the residents of the area here who might at any time be attacking and stealing something from him, well although stealing is an impossible thing because the players can keep their goods in a personal inventory.
