PFM: LEGACY
Ep. 7 Formation Master and the first Adventure
The room in the legacy hall was quite spacious. In the center of the room was a crystal pillar that shone bluish. It was not just those in the room. There was another group of 10 people sitting and closing their eyes.
Looking at the group, Ron said,”As I expected, we are not the only clan that chose Rockhelm. Sit down, and close your eyes, pick and learn your profession in 10 minutes.
Ali sat down on the stone floor, and closed his eyes.
[Detected that you do not have a profession yet, do you want to learn it?]
“Ya” Ali replied.
Then came the list of professions, just curious, Ali looked through the list, after counting, it turns out there are dozens of professions available. There are professions such as fisher, sailor, even singer.
Ali then chose the Formation master.
[Did you choose Formation master as your profession?]
“Ya” Reply Ali.
So a lot of information goes into Ali's mind, including, what equipment is needed, what media can be used. Ali also obtained some formation designs, which turned out to be basic level formations. And to get another design, Ali had to reach level 10.
Ali also got a kind of video tutorial to make formations. Who can Ali access anytime. After the flow of information stopped, Ali knew that he became a trainee Formation master.
The improvements in this profession are:
Levels 1-10 are trainees
Levels 11-25 are beginning
Levels 26-50 are intermediate
Levels 51-70 are experts
Level 71-90 is a master
Level 91-100 was a grandmaster
After receiving this stream of information, Ali felt dizzy and wanted to vomit. Ali then pulled and exhaled slowly, trying to clear his mind. After some time, dizziness and nausea finally reduced until it can be ignored.
[Congratulations you have become a Formation master of level 1]
Ali opened his eyes. What caught Ali's attention was a room that should be dimly lit with only a luminous pillar in the middle, it turned out to have lines like electronic circuits arranged with various colors and thickness. The lines were not only on the surface of the floor, but also above it floating in the air, thus forming a kind of building. Ali studied the lines, then walked to a corner of the building, where they were lost in a box that was as fleeting as a common stone. But in Ali's eyes, the stone was painted with magic symbols.
[Congratulations you have become a level 2 formation master]
This notification surprised Ali, and Ali's eyes again saw the room was dim as usual, and the box was like a regular box. Ali tried to activate his special view, and the lines appeared again.
Ali then remembered something, then concentrated mana onto his index finger, then moved his index finger slowly, visible white lines on the path his finger made. But in just 5 seconds the line began to disappear from the furthest end of his finger, towards his finger.
When the line is completely gone. Ali tried to concentrate the mana on his pointer again and tried to control the white dot on him making a line. As a result, a white line formed 2 cm long, but could not be longer.
Then Ali tried to direct the line to touch the line on the surface of the stone. Then Ali ejected, his mouth spitting out blood and his HP dropped by over 50 points.
Everyone in the room was shocked and looked at Ali strangely.
But Ali paid them no heed, because before him, the dimensions seemed to split, and the projection of a black-robed old man with a golden tree-drawn pattern on his chest appeared suddenly.
Ali looked at the grandfather for a moment and then came the information:
[Albert Tamarind] (projection) Level 9]
“Hohoho, I didn't expect to meet such an interesting child. I see you just got your profession, so I forgive you. As advice from parents, don't like to touch the formations you see. It is disrespectful and dangerous. Good thing your priority is 3, if it's still 1, you'll be dying from magic backlash.” Albert said with a friendly smile.
“Thank you for your senior instructions, I will remember it and will not repeat it again. Please forgive my error.” Ali said after standing up and bowing respectfully.
Albert nodded and said,”You are very talented in terms of formations. Learn with diligence. Maybe one day we'll meet again. Ares Mythcaller, I'll remember your name.”
Albert's projection disappeared.
Ali then let out a long sigh, 'I almost offended a level 9.’ NPC
[Congratulations you have become a level 3 formation master]
Ali muttered, 'is raising the level of profession that easy?'
“Hey, what's up Al?, why are you hurt?”, Ratih runs, and asks, not an anxious tone, but a curious tone.
“I'm trying to experiment with my new profession. I'm fine, if you want to know.” Ali tried to look hurt.
The other team members who followed Ratih to Ali could only laugh.
Dino said,”It's a game bro.. You die, it's just gonna be a joke. For achievements, as the first player to die in the Legacy hall, because of his curiosity.”
Ali can only say,” That's cold.”
Ron then hooked up,” You seem to be talking to someone or something, what happened?”
Ali then told me about her experience..
Ron then said with a smile,” Happy kid, you have made your debut in the Formation master circle with BANG.”
“Is it bad?” Ali was getting worried.
“Not really, I suspect Albert Tamarind is an important figure in the Southeast Alliance. With this incident, you can more easily make a connection with it, when the situation allows.” Ron says.
“Sukurlah then.” Ali said with a sigh.
“OK, let's meet our new friend. Looks like they're done.” Ron said, then walked over to the other 10 clan players.
Ron also led team 2, came to the players. “Salam. I'm Ron, captain of team 2 of the studio Frozen Anvil.” Ron said kindly.
Then, a beautiful woman about 25 years old, red-haired, came to Ron and shook Ron's hand, “Hallo, I'm Rain, the head of Chrome Blade studio. Greetings know.”
Ali looked at him for a moment, then came information about Rain.
[Rain Stormrider, Level 1]
“Is your activity center located in Rockhelm? If yes, then let's be friends.” Ron added.
Ron smiled,” I can't decide about that. Please contact Alan (character name Adam), our chairman to discuss the details of the cooperation. We will start exploring. See you later.” Ron said, Ron then registered friends with Rain and shared Adam's contacts with him.
Team 2 then came out of the Legacy Hall and walked west. On the way Ali asked,” Where are we going?”
“We are going to the Union adventurer, to meet with teams 1 and 3 and register guild.”
Adventurer Union is just 20 metres from Legacy Hall. So in 5 minutes they're here.
Adventurer Union is like a cafe. Dozens of tables and hundreds of chairs were neatly arranged. Maybe because there are still many players trapped in the legacy hall, so the players in it are not too many. Of course not too much is relative, because there are hundreds of players who are sitting around, or queuing up to take on missions.
Ali and his friends easily met with team 1 and team 3. They were talking in the corner of the room.
“Hallo guys, did you guys wait a long time?” Ron asked, with
“Not really, we just mapped the fort, but the time is limited, so it is still not.” Hans says.
“Ok, now the meeting begins. Ron, please tell me your plan.” Adam says.
“There have been many plans changed. First, our focus, immediately unlock the contract, I suspect we should go up to level 2 to unlock it. Second, look for a summoned mount that is suitable for mountainous areas, if you can uniformly. The advantage we can unsummon when not needed, and vice versa, thirdly, for team 1 focus exploration around Rockhelm to build a reputation, while Team 2, exploration into the cold area, the, to find a suitable shadow core for Ali, the trait, priority +2, will be our main strategy going forward. Oh yes..for team 3, focus on making equipment set for all.”
Delia says,”Ya, that's our plan. But in these 3 days, we will look for part-time work to raise the level of profession and raise funds to rent a place.”
Adam said, ” Okay, we will operate around Rockhelm, complete adventurer union missions and build relationships with other guilds and Npc. By the way, Rain has contacted me. Delia and I will see if there is any possibility of cooperation.
For the mission you want, the closest and most difficult is in the wintergate village. There was the extermination mission Snow rat level 1-2 and Rock frog level 2-3. And the mission of harvesting flowers named night lily around the village to the foot of the winter peak mountain. And as for the map of this region, you can request it when you register for the mission. Any requests or questions?”
Ali hesitantly said, “I need mana pen to practice making formations.”
“Ok, buy before you leave. It's 500 deca, this is to buy 2 team profession equipment. If there is leftover, you can use to buy other equipment.” Delia then gave the money to Ron.
“If there are no questions, let's go to the counter to register the guild..”
Furthermore Adam, Ron and Delia took care of the guild adventurer formation procedure. After the guild formed, all the studio members, registered themselves one by one. Then just like that, the Frozen Anvil guild was formed.
Then Adam took on several missions for teams 1 and 2. While the 3 teams are busy looking for temporary jobs according to their respective professions.
Team 2 gets 4 missions. Among them..
[Eradicate snow rat

Reward: at least 1000 deka, the Union will assess the difficulty of this mission again after successful partially or fully.]
After receiving the mission, each team goes to its own goal.
For team 2, because the distance to the winter gate village is about 30 km, then they must prepare fire crystals if overnight, bread, and professional equipment. So they buy first to the shops around the Adventurer Union.
After finishing purchasing the supplies and necessities, team 2 exited the Rockhelm fortress from the east gate.
The road to the Winter Gate village was quite crowded, many NPCs rode or used the train through the 5-meter wide road.
Looking at the map, Ron walked in the middle of the team. While in the tutorial, Ron emphasized the importance of team formation when outside the safe zone. The standard formation of team 2 is, Train becomes a scout 50 m in front of the team by activating stealth, Ratih must ensure the route is safe. Even if there are monsters or enemies, Ratih can not get out of Stealth. And I have to follow Ron's instructions. Dino as the shield bearer walked in front. In the middle of Ron and Ali, then behind Dika and Fiona.
They walked up to 2 kilometers. According to the map, they had to turn south to circle the hill, making it more comfortable and safe.
But Ron chose a small 2-meter-wide path. According to him, if they go down a normal path, it will be difficult for them to meet monsters. After all, by taking the hill road, they can cut the distance of about 10 km. Although Ali doubted they could reach their destination quickly by passing through this difficult road.
The hill is pretty arid. Soil rocks, make a little kind of plant can grow on that hill. Only thorny shrubs, berry-like plants and tall, small-stemmed and small-leaved trees the team found 2. On the way, team 2 picked the berries, Dino said they could be eaten with bread.
Team 2 has been on that road for 2 hours. Ron said they've traveled at least 8km.
Suddenly the voice of Ratih in the canel party, “There are monsters in front. Humanoids. Level 2 goblin. That looks there are 7, I'm looking, is there again.”
Ron said,” we stop first. Train, confirm the strength of the opponent! Others, hide behind the berry bushes on the left of the road and prepare a surprise attack formation.”
Dino then raised his shield, his right hand clasping the handle of a small axe, his eyes looking around.
Dika, behind Dino lowered his spear eyes, while Ali took out his magic wand and Ron calmly sat down, his magic sword made of wood was in his hand.
Fiona, climbing the mound beside the road, and trying to occupy a higher position.
“They are armed with spears, and knives. Fixed amount. I think they're going hunting. They walk near you.” Train added
“Ok, Ratih stay behind them, Fiona, have you seen them?” Ron said
“Already. Ready to attack at any time. They're getting closer to you, distance from you, 20 meters.” Fiona answered.
“Fiona, you can start at any time.Other, target the closest enemy.”.
“Ok”, all replied.
