Chapter 6: Kill
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Wild Boar King’s charge would instantly kill any class below level 10 It was this technique that was the hardest to defend against Wild Boar King.
The tactic to leap backward in avoidance of the charge by Wild Boar King and used huge trees and boulders to wedge it came from a Wizard player named Lonely Semi City. However, he didn’t manage to take down Wild Boar King as the force brought by the blitz killed him instantly.
Although an Archer’s HP was far from a Warrior, it was way better than a Wizard’s.
Lodging Wild Boar King was a bug that wasn’t a bug. Once word spread, Pantheon Company did not make any changes. The reason was simple. It wasn’t easy to accurately wedge Wild Boar King. Adjustments and attempts up to a few hundred wouldn’t even guarantee any success.
The force of the wedge could not be too huge or too little. If the force was insufficient, Wild Boar King could retreat at the swing of its head. If the force was too huge, Wild Boar King could ram through it.
Only with an accurate calculation on the charging force could result in Wild Boar King being lodged between the tree and boulders by the belly with its limbs dangling in the air. This would be a perfect success.
With such a classic bug, why would Pantheon Company fix it?
Li Yi got up from the ground without any concern for his HP as he unleashed a Hunt Target on Wild Boar King, aiming and shooting his arrows.

[Critical Hit!]
Every monster had its weak spot just as Li Yi was shooting at Wild Boar King’s head. The damage was a lot higher than shooting at its body.
Thirty thousand HP could not be reduced with just one to two arrows. However, Li Yi wasn’t the least bit bothered because the first player who successfully killed Wild Boar King in his past life only appeared on the ninth day after the game’s opening.
Now it had not been 24 hours and most players weren’t even at level five. Moreover, Lonely Semi City’s wedge tactic came in a month later. Currently, apart from himself, who would know of such a way?
Absolutely no one. He could shoot to his heart’s content and stab to his heart’s content…
[Your archery marksmanship has advanced. Damage increased by 3 points…]
[Your archery marksmanship has advanced. Damage increased by 6 points…]
Li Yi exhausted half his arrows, his Beginner-Level Marksmanship was at 359/1000.
As an Archer, it was crucial to retain some arrows. Li Yi saw that his expertise was that of a certain level that he retrieved his bow and took out his blade to continue stabbing.
After hitting for more than 4 hours, Wild Boar King let out a howl and with a flash of white light, it died.
System Notification: [Congratulations, you are the first to kill Wild Boar King Boss. Announce name to the general public?]
Li Yi rejected.
He didn’t want to attract attention this early.
He was blazed in a golden glow as he shot up two levels. It was during then when the System issued the primary kill announcement.
It was all in red!
[Player ** has achieved the first kill of Level 15 Boss, Wild Boar King. Recorded in Pantheon Hall of Fame.]
[Player ** has achieved the first kill of Level 15 Boss, Wild Boar King. System reward 20 Gold Coins obtained!]
[Player ** has achieved the first kill of Level 15 Boss, Wild Boar King. System reward 200 points Reputation Value with various major cities obtained!]
[Player ** has achieved the first kill of Level 15 Boss, Wild Boar King. System reward 5000 EXP obtained!]
The four sentences in red were flickering in the world channel and stunned all players in King of Pantheon.
“Someone killed a Level 15 Boss, Wild Boar King? Sh*t! Is the System for real? Hasn’t it been not too long since the opening? Don’t tell me there’s someone at Level 15 already?”
“No way? It must be a joke, I’m only Level 4 and a half. I’ll get instantly killed just hitting a regular Adult Wild Boar, what more a Level 15 Boss, Wild Boar King. How is that possible?”
“It must be a mistake? Rubbish GM!”
“Lame GM! Disrupting my leveling!”
“GM, your mother is calling you to go home and eat. Stop spamming…”
The course of the event changed with the exchange between players. They were at first flabbergasted by the person who killed the Boss but, in the end, all arrows were pointed at the Gamemaster, in short, GM.
It had not been a day since the opening, yet a Wild Boar King was killed. Apart from a mistake from the System, the players couldn’t think of any other possibilities.
Only… The current players weren’t aware that King of Pantheon, this virtual online game world did not have any gamemasters.
Of course, there were a minority of the players who went through a train of thought after seeing the System’s spam.
Upon receipt of the system which rewarded EXP of a Boss’ first kill, Li Yi leveled up once more to Level 8!
“Whether it’s God Hand or Trash Hand, here goes!”
Li Yi rubbed his hands with force and extended them to Wild Boar King’s carcass.
The System spam reward for a Boss’ first kill and whatever rummaged from Wild Boar King’s carcass was two separate matters from a Boss’ first kill reward.
[17 Silver Coins obtained…]
[Bucktooth Spear obtained…]
[Bloody Soul Beads obtained…]
[Charging Rare Book obtained…]
[Water Spirits Summoning Rare Book obtained…]
…
Looking at the items in his hands, Li Yi was briefly at a loss of words.
The items weren’t bad, but the problem was, not a single item could be used by him.
The Bucktooth Spear with Emerald Quality was the highest-grade weapon used by Violent Warriors. The Charging Rare Book was for Warrior class. Water Spirits Summoning Rare Book was for Summoner class. The only item that was somewhat useful to him was probably the Bloody Soul Beads.
[Bloody Soul Beads (Gold Quality)]
[Equipment Level: 15]
[Special Ornament (Sole)]
[DEF +15]
[M-DEF +15]
[Dodging probability +1%]
[Special Effect: Enables wearer to recover a small amount of HP each second.]
…
The Bloody Soul Beads dropped by Wild Boar King was the best ornament for Armored Warrior until Level 30.
“Although I can’t use it, selling it off can profit me a sum.”
Li Yi kept his belongings and opened Level rankings.
He did not apply to enter ranks, so his name wasn’t on the Level rankings.
Out of the top 10 players, eight of them concealed their names. Only Old Li Flying Dagger placed first and No. 7, Nirvana Inaction revealed their names.
The current No. 1 in ranks had his EXP at 75% into Level 5. He would be at Level 6 soon.
As far as Li Yi knew, Old Li Flying Dagger and Nirvana Inaction were outstanding persons at the early stages of Pantheon. Old Li Flying Dagger occupied the No. 1 spot on the ranks for more than two months but for unknown reasons, he disappeared for a period of time. Once he reemerged, his level had lagged.
As for Nirvana Inaction, although he was no longer in the ranks at later stages, his fame then was more reputable than Old Li Flying Dagger.
Nirvana Inaction was God Creator Guild’s Chief Light High Priest! He was most famous for single-handedly healing 40 persons and clearing the Wind Dragon Dungeon at Heroic Difficulty without any deaths in the team. He achieved instant fame from the battle and was deserving of the super support role of all supporting classes in Pantheon.
“How nice to see a familiar acquaintance.”
Li Yi smiled awkwardly, banishing unhappy thoughts in his head. He issued an order to log out of the game.
Characters in battle were not allowed to log out while in non-battle mode, and it required the character to wait for 10 seconds.
“Excuse me, do you know how to return to the Novice Village?”
Just as Li Yi’s logging out countdown was almost at 0, a fragile voice was heard behind him.
Li Yi was stunned as he turned over subconsciously. He saw a female player dressed in a commoner’s attire. Her name was displayed on top of her head…
Girl without Underwear.
‘This name!’
Li Yi blacked out…
