Virtual Sword God!

Dan went asking around about where the VSW club room was, after hearing about the news from Tom about Novis, he had a good idea where to look first. If a fight broke out between them in the game room, he must be a member he mistakenly thought.

Finally, he had tracked down the VSW club but when he entered it was completely empty apart from a female and male student. Dan knew the VSW club was the most popular club in school, so he thought he must have gotten the wrong place.

"Hi is this the VSW club?" he asked.

As soon as Dan entered the room Scarlett and Alex went into the recruitment mode. Scarlett quickly grabbed a chair so Dan could sit down and Alex brought over a glass of water.

"Are you looking to register to the VSW club, the application only takes a couple of minutes, we can do it right now," Alex said already handing Dan an application form.

"Actually, I was hoping I could meet Novis here?" Dan replied.

"Oh Yes, Novis is our Ace player, the star of the VSW club."

Scarlett then pulled Alex over to one side and whispered.

"What are you saying, Novis never agreed to join."

"Well, he said it was because we didn't have enough members right, so I see no harm. If we can get two more people, then Novis will join us, if not then no harm is done."

Dan was currently thinking about how he could get Novis to join the running club and leave the VSW club but if he was already there Ace then there wasn't much chance he would leave.

"What do you say about joining the VSW club then?" Alex asked with a huge grin on his face.

Dan thought about it for a while. He had long gotten bored of the running club since there was no longer any competition. He had thought about switching to the football club or the basket ball club for a while now. Dan was someone who excelled at physical sports and whenever he felt like he had perfected it. He would move onto the next thing.

After switching clubs for so long, he never found someone who he couldn't beat. For the first time, he had met Novis who was great at running, excelled at martial arts and now was apparently the Ace of the VSW club. Dan had a naturally gifted body and never thought about using it for things like VR games before.

"Okay, sign me up."

Alex wasted no time in helping dan sign up. They had finally found their third member.

"So how long have you played VSW for Dan asked."

"Me, never," Dan smiled back.

Alex couldn't help but think that the world was testing him.

Novis and Bill had currently just started a game of their own in VSW. Bill selected the assassin Warrior Interfector who's two main weapons were daggers. While Novis selected Heros Puer, and was currently using the chain blade.

Due to its long-range and dexterity in attacks, it was a good way to see how opponents would react. Then Novis could choose the next weapon best to deal with his opponent.

Novis headed down the mid lane as normal. When he reached the centre of the map, Bill was nowhere to be seen, but Novis was expecting this. It was the same tactic that Bill had used last time but this time Novis was ready. He waited and waited until eventually, a message appeared.

<Your top tower has been destroyed>

"Dammit, he didn't come down to mid" Novis shouted.

Novis then decided to take the quickest route possible to top and that was through the woods. There were only two ways you a player could go from one tower to another. Directly through the forest or back through the pathway to the start, where the 3 paths originated from.

Unlike other games, there was no middle path going horizontally across the map. Only three vertical paths leading to the enemy base. The rest of the map was covered by forest.

Novis was currently running through the forest as fast as he could to meet up with Bill. Novis had fought against other warriors in the forest before, so he wasn't afraid of an ambush by Bill. The leaves were a dead giveaway of someone's position. The best they could do was use the trees as a cover or hide.

But what Novis didn't know was that Bill had a passive skill called silent boots. This was a skill that allowed Bill to walk through the forest silently as if he was walking on Air.

Bill saw his target in front of him and started following, as soon as Novis was clear, he used the skill Spin throw. Out of Bills right hand came out three dart-like needles.

The first needle caught Novis directly in the leg, sending shooting pain through his body. Novis knew that wouldn't be the end of the attacks. He started spinning his chain blade in two circles and swinging them all over his body like a fan. The next two needles bounced off as soon as they touched the chain blade.

Now Novis knew what direction Bill was In. Novis moved over to the direction of the needles but Bill wasn't there. Novis thought if he stayed still then he might hear Bill moving about. Nothing, not even a whisper.

Bill was currently hiding up behind one of the trees smiling. He was amazed that his brother managed to block the two needles. Although they didn't do a lot of damage, whenever he would use this tactic in a game, they would almost always hit his opponent. The aim was to make the player bleed so you could use their blood to track them.

Bill's warrior was best used in the forest and was meant for sneak attacks and one-shot kills. The best thing for Bill to do was to keep attacking from a distance and carry on moving in the forest. But what Bill wanted to do now more than ever, was see how much his brother had improved.

Fighting his Assassin like instincts, Bill then jumped down from the tree and went in for the attack.
