Aincrad, Floor 1, wilderness. Mochizuki Yo arrived in the wilderness and took out the gifted starting weapon from his inventory by clicking the virtual interface.
It was a very ordinary longsword.
The starting longsword didn't look very sharp, and of course, it wouldn't have any powerful weapon properties.
Mochizuki's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He flicked the blade with his finger, and the longsword vibrated.
He could hear the blade emit a somewhat clear sound.
Mochizuki couldn't help but wonder, could this sword cut through monsters?
Mochizuki continued walking forward.
...
"Huff... huff... huff..."
Heavy panting sounds quickly caught Mochizuki's attention.
Mochizuki looked ahead and saw that it was a very sturdy wild boar, much larger than a typical forest wild boar.
After all, this was a monster in the game, so it made sense.
And above the wild boar's head was its name, health bar, and other information...
"A Frenzied Boar, huh..."
Mochizuki softly muttered.
Behind the monster's name was a rectangular, green bar, which was the monster's HP.
Currently, the boar's health was very healthy.
There were also the words 'Level 1', indicating this seemed to be the most basic beginner monster.
"I'll use you to test out the weapon."
While Mochizuki was observing the Frenzied Boar, the Frenzied Boar was also staring at the food before it.
Its oval-shaped eyes were wide open, and its fierce gaze was glaring at Mochizuki ahead.
At the same time, one of the Frenzied Boar's hind legs was constantly pawing at the ground...
dust was constantly flying up because of this.
The Frenzied Boar finished charging up and rushed towards Mochizuki like an arrow loosed from a bowstring.
And Mochizuki was ready to deal with the Frenzied Boar.
The moment the Frenzied Boar charged towards Mochizuki, Mochizuki gripped the hilt with both hands and immediately swung the ordinary longsword in his hands with force.
The seemingly not-sharp tip actually pierced through the thick fur covering the wild boar's body with ease.
A red flash appeared on the Frenzied Boar's body.
The Frenzied Boar let out a painful wail.
The sudden attack caused the Frenzied Boar's heavy body to fall to the ground, and dust was constantly rising up again because of this.
After the dust settled, Mochizuki could clearly see the Frenzied Boar lying on the ground again.
Where the red flash had appeared on the Frenzied Boar just now was replaced by a clear wound, but no blood flowed out, only a red, pixelated wound.
At the same time, it was also visible that the Frenzied Boar's health bar above its head had clearly decreased, it had decreased by about 1/3.
This attack caused significant damage to the wild boar.
"Oh!"
Mochizuki let out a sound of surprise and swung the longsword in his hands twice in the air as if showing off.
He didn't expect the seemingly ordinary starting longsword to be so sharp, it was actually somewhat useful.
Actually, it wasn't because the starting longsword was so powerful, but because the wild boar in front of him was simply too weak.
After all, the game had just started, so they had to give beginner players some encouragement, right?
As for the Frenzied Boar, while Mochizuki was feeling out the longsword, it quickly stood up again.
Lacking intelligence, it naturally didn't know how to run away, but instead gathered its strength and attacked Mochizuki again.
Mochizuki aimed at the Frenzied Boar's wound and continued to swing the longsword in his hands with force.
Without the protection of its thick fur, after a graceful arc, the longsword pierced into the Frenzied Boar's body again.
The Frenzied Boar let out a more painful howl than before, and its HP above its head constantly decreased.
Until it dropped to 0.
Subsequently, the Frenzied Boar's corpse let out a "pop" sound and shattered.
The Frenzied Boar's corpse directly disappeared, while Mochizuki's longsword remained in the air.
And the ground was left with the Frenzied Boar's fur.
Mochizuki also found that the Frenzied Boar had given him some experience points, but it wasn't enough to support him leveling up.
It seemed he needed to kill a few more Frenzied Boars to be enough.
Mochizuki bent down and picked up the Frenzied Boar's fur and then stored it in his inventory.
Mochizuki inserted the longsword into its sheath and found a good spot to hang it on himself, making it convenient to directly take it out to kill monsters.
Then he continued on the road towards the second floor, searching for monsters.
