Last Shelter Online

[A Guild has been successfully signed]

[Guild Number: 1]

[Please input a name for your Guild]

Hiro hadn’t found any suitable guild names yet. He wanted a name that sounded casual but felt hardcore when read. Fortunately, the system allowed guild names to be set at a later time.

[You obtained 1x Guild Certificate (Contract Number 1)]

[Guild name can be set after the guildmaster successfully recruited 10 players as guild members.]

[Only with a minimum of 10 members will a guild be considered active by the system.]

Hiro let out a sigh of relief when he read the additional notifications that just appeared. At least he still had time to decide on a fitting guild name. Besides, he was currently the only player who had unlocked the Guild feature in the game.

Even so, Hiro couldn’t continue his main story quest before his newly-created guild was considered active by the system. Because of this, he decided to go back to grinding and farming for EXP to increase his level before other players caught up.

At a time like this, he really hoped he could find a hidden dungeon.

Hiro looked for NPC Willie to teleport back to Beginner Town, which was still his spawn checkpoint.

[You will be teleported to Beginner Town]

Just as he was teleported, he was immediately greeted by a ruckus at the town square.

A crowd of players was loudly shouting as they gathered around.

“Kill him!”

“Kill him!”

“Take him down!”

In the middle of the seemingly angered crowd was a person, and in front of him was a pile of immobile player avatars with blood splattered on the town ground.

Players killed in the town area.

In the pile were five male avatars. Per the penalty Nyx had informed Hiro about, players who were killed in a town would lose a level and become unable to play for seven days. Interestingly, the avatars of the players killed would remain in the town before medic NPCs moved their bodies.

Hiro managed to slip into the crowd to see the person responsible for the cruel murders.

[Level 15. PlaytoKill. Rogue. First-Year Student]

The owner of the player information in dark red was a thug-like man with an arrogant smirk on his blood-splattered face. At first glance, the word ‘psychopath’ immediately appeared in Hiro’s mind.

The man licked the blood mixed with his own sweat on his right arm.

Hiro silently observed the people around him. All of them had unpleasant expressions on their faces, mostly of displeasure and irritation. Despite that, none of them was willing to step forward and go against the player killer together.

If he guessed right, they must’ve tried going against the player killer only to fail, which acted as an example for the others and made them lose their courage in fear of meeting the same fate.

Everyone shouted mostly the same words, but no one dared to cross the line.

“Somebody kill him!”

“Kill that psychopath!”

Just when Hiro was about to challenge the player killer to a duel, a group of players noticed his presence.

It was BigShow and the people he met at the tavern.

“Boss! Give that bastard a lesson!” BigShow loudly called from the crowd while raising his hand to openly point at Hiro, causing the entire crowd to turn toward him with varying expressions.

A mix of doubt, curiosity, and hope.

‘Boss? Since when did they call me that?’ Hiro was a little surprised by the words BigShow shouted, but he didn’t respond.

Still, it wasn’t like he was going to refuse. He had planned on beating the player killer from the beginning anyway.

‘How much LSC can I get from this guy?’ He couldn’t help but wonder.

Hiro stepped forward, leaving the crowd of players who were only brave enough to watch. When the player killer turned to look at him, his lips formed an arrogant smile that didn’t lose to the one on the player killer’s face.

‘Should I kill him with one slash?’

His confidence rose when he saw the gear the player killer had on.

In LSO, players could check the equipment other players were wearing through their HUD’s scanning system. This included weapons, armor, accessories, and cards. An option to hide their own equipment was also available in the settings menu, but the player killer in front of him didn’t enable the feature.

‘Does he really think his gear is amazing, or is he just stupid?

‘He’s too reckless if he thinks he can start a career as a player killer with just a decent weapon,’ Hiro thought as he took out his legendary weapon.

“You must be joking. Is there really no player stronger than me on this server?” the player killer mocked.

“Hahahahaha!” the player killer explosively laughed after scrutinizing Hiro from top to bottom. The sight of an adolescent boy holding a large sword with both hands greatly amused him.

“Was this kid seriously challenging him?”

Hiro didn’t move. He wasn’t scared, he just felt that the player killer’s words of mockery weren’t true at all, since Hiro was currently the strongest player on the server.

Hiro calmly met the player killer’s eyes.

“Are you ready to take a one-week break?”

“Are you asking yourself?” The player killer sneered.

At that moment, Hiro could no longer wait. Without waiting for the player killer to make the first move, he swiftly dashed forward and swung his greatsword with all his strength.

SPLAT!

One horizontal slash tore apart the player killer’s chest along with his Halfblood Student Uniform, and blood instantly gushed out.

Due to the immensely realistic pain detection in the game, the player killer could also feel the agonizing pain of the blade cutting his body into two.

He couldn’t even scream due to the pain.

[HP -2,530]

The player killer fell backward. His pupils trembled in fear before he finally stopped moving.

Ding!

[Player NightFall has eliminated a player killer in Beginner Town]

[1,500 LSC has been rewarded for his heroic action.]

An announcement was broadcasted globally. The players who were present as he defeated the player killer with just one strike had dropped their jaws in disbelief and amazement.

“Yeah, finally!”

“Take that! I hope your VR gear explodes for being left unused for a week!”

“Hahahaha!”

The atmosphere suddenly became warm. The players began to shout in satisfaction before they scrambled to surround Hiro and barrage him with questions.

“That was amazing! How did you do that?”

“CBT King? So you were a beta tester!”

“He is!”

“That title! Does that mean you’re the best among them?”

But the moment didn’t last long. Just as Hiro opened his mouth to speak, a semi-transparent red panel suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
