Mike and Martha decide to find another party member. They feel awkward if they have to sleep in the same place and only both. Both agreed to recruit a third person.
It's been almost two hours since Mike and Martha walked through town, but they haven't found a single player. During the trip Mike was thinking about the show he had to give. Now it's still like the introduction of the game to be played, so there won't be much going on dimension break.
Each dimension break also only appeared at most six to seven low-level monsters. Mike thought it was impossible to collect a level three monster offering of five hundred monsters in just one week.
Mike growled in annoyance as he thought about it. He began to think that maybe the system was playing tricks on him.
"Hey, are you okay? Your face is not good to see." Martha glanced at Mike who was beside her. Since then he has noticed the look of Mike's face that looks tangled. Martha tried to ask, hoping she could help.
"It's nothing big, at least I want to say that. But the truth is I'm stuck right now and I'm not sure I can handle it." Mike held his forehead. He seemed to be thinking hard.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Martha looked at Mike with pity. Though some time ago Mike was seen bragging about his strength, but at this time he even looks like a person who is desperate.
Mike shook his head slowly in response to Martha's question. Mike is grateful to have a caring colleague, but unfortunately this problem cannot be solved with the help of others. He has to finish it himself.
Disappointed when Martha finds out that there is nothing she can do for Mike. Although they only know a few hours, but Martha immediately knows that Mike is a good person. Circumstances forced him to shut himself down.
"Now that we are partners, I hope that you will not hesitate to ask for help. No matter how strong you are, there must be times when you will need help from your partner."
"Thank you, Martha. I'll remember it." Mike looked up at the sky with a faint smile on his face. He knows how important it is to have a partner, only he is afraid he will return to feel lost.
Amidst the awkward atmosphere between Mike and Martha, they finally met some players who immediately gathered somewhere. Mike was a little surprised when he saw that one of them had already reached level two.
"Lucky!" Mike smiled broadly. He pulled Martha's hand and ran towards where the players were.
There were five players who were all men. They turned to Mike when they noticed that someone was running over. Not far away from where they were lay three level one goblins and one level five goblins. Mike was not surprised they could beat a level five goblin if the five men worked together. Plus there was a player who was at level two.
"Wait a minute, who are you?" One of them walks up to Mike and Martha. He was a man with a tall and burly body. Judging from the looks, perhaps that person was around twenty-nine years old.
The man looked at Mike and Martha alternately, but his gaze changed when he saw Martha who was inching backwards in fear.
"Little girl, don't be afraid. I'm not gonna hurt you." The man smiled. His hand moved wanting to hold Martha's head, but Mike stopped her.
"Can't you see she's scared?" Mike tightened the grip that stopped the man's hand. Mike could see the level of the opponent's ability, which was why he confidently stopped the man in front of him. The man has a level three strength, certainly not comparable to Mike who has a level five strength.
The man endured the pain in his wrist. He still had to keep his impression in front of other players.
"Hey, you better not deal with Geoff. He's an impatient man, don't let your face get battered because of him." The other man behind him shouted with a laugh followed by another laugh.
"Your name is Geoff?" Mike stared hard. Now Mike is upset to see a weak man acting strong in front of him. The man laughed while enduring the pain. It was so obvious from his voice that the laughter was made up.
"Well, I'm Geoff. I am the strongest player in the city. No one can reach level two in just over a day." Geoff grinned widely, revealing a row of yellowed teeth.
"Really! Now you know what kind of person is standing before you right now?" Geoff glared at Mike. He thought Mike was starting to fear him.
"At least for the old me. If it was me right now, leveling up doesn't take a day if I wanted to."
Geoff immediately tried to pull back his hand. Mike happily loosened his grip to make the man fall. Everyone behind Geoff stared warily at Mike. So far no one has been able to bring down Geoff in any way.
Mike walked up to the crowd. Since the first time he saw them, Mike was interested in the glasses boy who had just seen.

Mike was astonished when he saw the skill points, which points, and skill levels possessed by the fifteen-year-old. How can a boy have that much mana?
"You're interested in him? Better not. He's just a burden." One of them snorted as he stared at Gried. He was the same person who was yelling at Mike.
"Being a burden with the skills he has?"
"Skills? What are you talking about? This kid just curled up in fear and didn't help at all. Well, but he can be useful as bait if there's an enemy we can't handle." The man patted Gried's back hard. Gried did not respond and only accepted.
"Hey sweet, would you like to join us? I can guarantee you'll be safe since we have many members, let alone Geoff who has already reached level two." The other man tries to tease Martha, persuading her to join them. Martha turned her face away, not giving any response.
"Based on a cocky girl! What does someone like this give you? Are you maybe a couple of lovers?"
"Darling, I will be faithful with you to death!"
The sound of floating laughter broke the atmosphere. Mike knew that Martha was feeling uneasy and wanted to leave immediately, but he could not waste this opportunity. At least he had to successfully take a child named Gried who had great skills in magic.
"Gried, will you join me? I'll make sure you get good treatment." Mike put a hand on Gried. The boy was slightly surprised to see the open palm in front of him. Gried looked up, looking at the owner of that palm.
"Look at this, someone dared to take our members without permission." The gondrong man who had just been silent finally spoke up. His gaze was quite domineering for the size of a level one player.
"If you want to take it, doesn't it have to be through the master first?"
