Chapter 3: Lie Flat and Continuously Level Up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Occam did not know about the discussion going on.
Even if he knew, he could not be bothered.
At this moment, he was already outside the Twilight Forest.
On the way, Occam encountered several more wild boars attacking him.
In the end, he activated the passive skill “Defensive Counterattack” and the boars fell to the ground and died.

Meanwhile, Occam was awarded annother piece of equipment.
“Blood-stained Cloak (White Equipment)”
Level: Lv 1
Health :+50
Defense :+5
Introduction: This might be a relic left behind by some important person after his death.
Occam equipped himself directly.
He did not care about the attributes of the equipment.
However, this cloak was quite nice.
Occam nodded in satisfaction as he watched the blood-stained cloak sway in the wind behind him.
After all, being handsome was a lifetime thing.

Without hesitation, Occam walked into the Twilight Forest.
Ding… you have entered the map “Twilight Forest”! ‘
“Prompt: According to your level, the current map is extremely dangerous. Please take note!”
Occam did not care when he heard the prompt.
According to the map, the monsters spawned in Twilight Forest were Level 5-10.
At this time, no players would come here to farm the monsters.
This was the kind of environment that Occam wanted: Many monsters, few people, and high levels.
He could just lie on the ground and wait for the monsters to attack.
As Occam kept advancing, the surrounding scenery kept changing.
The forest grew thicker.
Occam studied his surroundings and sensed something strange.
After all, he had never been to such a place before.
Suddenly, Occam stopped.
He looked ahead and saw a few white wolves.
Occam directly used his investigative skill on them.
“Hungry Wild Wolf (Normal)”
Level: Lv 6
Health: 600
Defense: 30
Damage: 60-70
Skills: “Roar of Fury”, “Bite and Tear”
Introduction: Beasts wandering in the Twilight Forest. Their long-term hunger causes them to be rather bloodthirsty.
After seeing the attributes of these wolves, Occam laughed.
That was the kind of monster he needed.
Occam walked over slowly.
Before he could get close, the pack of wolves turned around and stared at Occam with their blood-red eyes.
The next moment, they all roared.
“Ding! You have been attacked by the wild wolf. You have triggered passive “Defensive Counterattack” (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 100% of the damage to the enemy!)”

“Ding! You have been attacked by the wild wolf. You have triggered passive “Defensive Counterattack” (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 100% of the damage to the enemy!)”
…
That roar was the skill of a wild wolf.
If it were a normal player, they would have been sent back to Milan Town for free.
However, Occam had the passive skill “Defensive Counterattack”.
1
After the wild wolf’s attack landed on his body, it was immediately reflected and the wolf was instantly injured.
Numerous numbers representing damage floated above their heads, and their HPs kept decreasing.
-64
-67
-68
…
Occam walked over to a tree, then sat down directly on the ground.
The wolves at the side continued to attack while their HP decreased.
“This is the loneliness of being invincible.”

Occam sighed and opened the Game Forum.
He could not be bothered to attack since he could just lie down and fight monsters.
He could use this time to browse the Game Forum.
A game without browsing the forum would be incomplete.
He opened the Game Forum.
Occam saw a number of posts.
As expected of the first holographic online game that was 100% realistic.
Occam scrolled up and down.
He suddenly saw a post posted by a player named Jeff.
1
“An expert player from Milan Town has appeared. One versus several wild boars!”
There was a video attached to the post.
Occam clicked into the video.
A moment later, his expression turned strange.
He did not expect that the thread was referring to himself.
He scrolled down to read the comments.
“What happened? He killed the wild boar while lying down?”
“D*mn, where did this God come from?”
“Is it a bug? I’ll try it too.”
2
“He looks so handsome from behind. I wonder what his name is. I really want a friend spot.”
“Is he going to Twilight Forest? I think he’s done for. There are monsters above Level 10 there.”
…
Occam ignored the comments.
He was too lazy to argue with others. It was tiring.
It was quite comfortable to read the fun posts by other players.
However, there were no drinks or snacks.
2
If not, it would be even more comfortable.
After a while, Occam found a new post.
“Lying down to fight a wild boar is not a bug!!!”
He felt like he had seen this sentence somewhere before.
Occam clicked on the post.
“Everyone, don’t try to lay down and fight a wild boar. That’s not a bug! I just tried, but I died after trying…
“Also, I’m curious how the player in the video did it. Does anyone know?”
Below the text was a screenshot of the original poster’s death.
Occam smiled. He did not expect anyone to actually try it.
Occam did not want to explain the original poster’s doubts.
‘Don’t ask. If you do, you’re lazy.’
Ding… you have skipped levels and killed “Wild Wolf (Normal)”. You have received 60 (+30) EXP. ‘

Ding… you have skipped levels and killed “Wild Wolf (Normal)”. You have received 60 (+30) EXP. ‘
…
Ding… your level has increased. Current level: Level 2.
Ding… your level has increased. Current level: Level 3.
At this moment, the HP of the dozen or so wolves attacking Occam had already been depleted. Their corpses turned into data and disappeared.
This was because killing monsters at a higher level gave him additional EXP.
Occam’s level instantly increased by two levels, and he gained another two Skill Points.
Without thinking, Occam clicked on the passive skill “Defensive Counterattack”.
“Defensive Counterattack” (3 / 10): Passive skill
[Current Level]
Cast Distance: None
Cooldown Time: None
Skill Effect: Increases the user’s Defense by 200 points. When attacked, it will reflect 130% of the enemy’s attack damage.
2
[Next Level]
Cast Distance: None
Cooldown Time: None
Skill Effect: Increase the user’s Defense by 250 points. When attacked, it will reflect 140% of the enemy’s attack damage.
The passive skill “Defensive Counterattack” became stronger.
Occam nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the blob of light on the floor.
He bent to pick it up.
“Ding… congratulations on obtaining Ashen Staff!”
“Ashen Staff (Blue)”
Level: Lv 5
Mind: +10
Damage :+50 ~ 60
Introduction: This is a magic staff that has accompanied a Mage for his entire life. Please treat it well.
A level-five blue Staff dropped. He was indeed lucky.
But Occam had no use for it.
It seemed that he could only wait until he returned to the city to sell it.
The server had just opened, so blue equipment should still be very popular.
Moreover, this Staff could give him 10 points of Spirit.
Many players who played as Mages would probably need it.
After putting away his equipment, Occam simply lay on the ground.
He was not afraid of the absence of monsters in such a huge forest.
With this thought in mind, Occam drifted off to sleep.
Soon, a pack of wolves arrived.
After entering the aggro range, the wolves charged towards Occam.
“Ding! You have been attacked by the wild wolf. You have triggered passive “Defensive Counterattack” (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 100% of the damage to the enemy!)”

…
At the same time, the HP bar on the wild wolf’s head decreased rapidly.

Ding… you have skipped levels and killed “Wild Wolf (Normal)”. You have received 60 (+30) EXP. ‘

“Ding… your level has increased. Current level: Level 4.”
“Ding… your level has increased. Current level: Level 5.”
“Ding… your level has increased. Current level: Level 6. ”
“Ding… your level has increased. Current level: Level 7.”
After some time, Occam was woken up by the system prompt and realized that his level had risen to Level 7.
