Owning and learning a Martial Technique in this world was hard to come by.
Any knowledge related to a good Martial Technique could change the history of an entire household. Then there's the Divine Technique, these were higher than Martial Techniques and demanded more from the players if not born with it.
Divine Techniques had potentials that were unpredictable. Having a Divine Technique is the same as becoming godlike, entire kingdoms would be at your call.
"Overdrive!" A Divine Technique that had unmatched powers.
"At Level 1, Overdrive gives Double of the players stats. Strength, Speed, Health, Mana..."
"At Level 2, Overdrive. 4 times the player's stats."
"At Level 3, Overdrive. 8 times the player's stats."
"... At Level 10, Overdrive. Max Level, Player will have 1000 times the players stats."
Just a single blow could level half of a city, this thought made Maxwell dance in joy.
"Overdrive! I can't wait to have it. With such a Divine Technique, I'll become too strong not even Vincent would be able to withstand me."
The fastest way to gain XP now was to kill, and Spawned Beasts were going to be his target. Just outside Eden City, the location Eden housed these spawned beasts. It was a perfect location for leveling up, but Maxwell knew better than to go there at his current level. He would just be killed before he even made it past the entrance.
Spawned Beasts were strong beyond limits, their bodies and strength were great and it was their home. Normal players without cultivation didn't dare to approach Eden. Lords and Ladies only entered as hunting parties.
Living was now his priority. If he was dead then he would be useless. Drake's missions were okay with him for now and he was now the Insect King Killer.
Without realizing, he was soon at the field. This was where he was headed all along, the entire expanse of land was covered with wild grass that danced along with the wind.
Without wasting time, Maxwell took out his sickle, as he began to work. 50 XP, that was his reward once he completed the quest. While cutting the grass Maxwell also thought of ways he would level up easily. Only Drake's quests wouldn't be enough and it was slow.
The Insects he killed only gave him 1 XP and he needed 200 XP to level up to level 8 bronze rank, where, would he get that many insects or high rewards quests. Drake's quests were they going to be unlimited? Just as he was lost in his thoughts.
"Swoosh." The sound brought him back to reality.
A white pale figure stood in front of him at a distance. Her white dress, fluttered in the air elegantly as her silk grey hair danced with the wind. She had a sword that was sheeted with the head pointing out. She looked like an angel.
Her movement was swift as her face showed no emotion, her sword now glowing under the evening sun. This was a beautiful scene, so beautiful...
"Shit, her sword is pointing at me already." Maxwell was shocked as he unconsciously made a quick turn to the left.
The grasses in the field were as tall as the length of a person's waist. Maxwell was bending down to cut the grass and was concealed under. With his sudden change of position, his full body was now revealed.
"Why would anyone come here now? Leave now." She said her voice was shaking. The shock of seeing Maxwell had distracted her from cultivating and now she couldn't maintain the balance of her Mana. She was coming to Maxwell with great speed.
Maxwell immediately tried to evade her but... Every step he took, she covered immediately. "Quit running around already!" She yelled out.
Maxwell turned to look behind him. "Would you stop chasing me then!" He said before coming to a halt.
"I'm out of Mana already." She said her expression, turning cold.
Crash! She came crashing against Maxwell, her weight pressing down on him. Her speed was too fast for her to brake and Maxwell didn't have time to react.
Her body was on him already, both their legs and hands were touching each other already, her lips slowly closed the gap between his. They were both overlapping at each other.
Just then, Maxwell's body began trembling as if he was plugged into an electric socket. The feeling was just too wonderful.
Maxwell was lost in her beauty, her skin was soft as it pressed against him. This was someone Maxwell could only dream of and she was now on him.
"Cough. Cough!"
She opened her eyes slowly as she let out a cough, her cheeks flushed red as she quickly moved away outside to the open field where there was less grass. She took a glance at Maxwell who was still having a cocky smile on his face. "Why didn't you avoid me?"
The question startled Maxwell. "I tried to evade you, but you kept coming at me and then came the crashing. Where did you expect me to turn to?"
"Oh... I'm sorry." She apologized, her tone change almost immediately. "Nothing happened between just now okay!" She said showing dominance.
"You mean the part where we almost kissed?" Maxwell asked out loudly.
She was getting angry. "Brat, nothing happened okay!"
Her face looked beautiful even when she was angry.
"Move away from here quickly!" Maxwell said, his expression changed to a serious look.
"You think telling me to move would be easy, this place doesn't belong to you, so it's your loss." She said pouting.
Maxwell shrugged his shoulder. "Your choice, you're the one stepping on an ant hive and not me."
The young lady had stepped onto an ants hive after coming off Maxwell's body and now they were all over her dress. She bent her head slowly only to see an attack on her by the insects. This made her to jump as she began to scream. "Aaarrrggghhh!"
The ants looked bigger than usual as they glowed all over their body. Maxwell quickly rushed to carry her as he moved to another location. The ants on her dress were still many. "Take off your dress!"
Her pale face began to grow red. It was currently summer and save for her underwear, she only had her dress on her. If she was taking it off... She was left in a tight spot.
Maxwell noticed the ants trying to get through under her dress. "Curse you ant!" He didn't wait for her to respond as he forcefully began to pull off her dress. "Hurry now, the ants have started crawling under your dress!"
Maxwell's words left her in a daze as she began to panic again. Maxwell wasted no time as he began to take off here dress.
Only the thing straps she used as binders were left on her upper body. Her skin was flawless, giving out temptation Maxwell had lost it completely this time at the sight before him.
"What are you looking at, pervert?" She said, both her hands now acted as a shield for her chest as her cheeks flushed red.
Maxwell swallowed hard, while attempting to get rid from the ants on her dress.
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations Player Maxwell Gillette for killing insect. Reward: 1 XP, 0: Mana."
Maxwell had the look of surprise on his face after the first notification as he looked around himself. He began to stomp around like a mad man.
The system continuously kept giving him notifications
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations Player Maxwell Gillette..."
The Lady just watched in awe as Maxwell jumped around on her dress and the surrounding. "That's my dress... You... Pervert..." She thought Maxwell purposely stomped on her dress so she couldn't put it back on. That way he would gape at her as much as he wanted.
He soon stopped receiving the notification sound, signalling he had killed all the ants. Looking at the dress, it had become rough. "I didn't expect to gain XP from these ants and there's still a hive full of them there. I can look forward to leveling up quickly."
He suddenly began to feel as if he was about to be eaten. Her... He still didn't know her name. My lady.
She just looked at Maxwell. "You do not expect me to leave here like this after doing that to my dress do you?"
Maxwell had not thought of this matter before now. "I was only thinking about your safety and then I got lost there, I truly am sorry about that."
Maxwell took off his shirt as he stretched them out to her. "If you don't mind, you can put mine on."
She hesitated, before taking it from him and putting it on herself.
Just then a killing intent came over them. Maxwell's eyes lit up.
He watched as a boy almost his age came over in a rage. Holding out a sword in his hand. "You bastard, how dare you come close to Lady Gwendolyn! Do you have a death wish or something?"
