Child of Destiny-Novel

....

Shin is currently organizing the loots that he had got from the group that he had 'slaughtered' earlier, and he can't help but mutter to himself. "D*mn! Those Ranker-guys from the big guilds are sure wealthy. I got 17 pieces of Platinum Equipments and 8 pieces of Platinum Weapons of Level-80 and above, which varies from different classes. And it is just from a single fight."

"No wonder those fearless and strong Dark Players(Players that are always PKing others) prioritize hunting players from powerful guilds. The profits that they can get from killing them are too worth it for the effort that they have spent."

"Tsk! With this, I am starting to have thoughts of becoming a Dark Player that are hunting these guys that are currently 'hunting' us."

"With these, I can have more hidden moves for my other persona. Heh! Now I feel that it is becoming more and more an assassin swordsman." said Shin to himself while looking at the details of the skill.

Huu~

"That was a lot of notifications, Huh? Well, that was all I guess?" muttered Shin after reading the final system notification.

Then he turned his attention to his virtual map to look for Lawless and the others' locations.

"Huh!? They are still not done on their side yet? Are their opponents on that side that strong?" muttered Shin to himself while knitting his brows.

Then he added while being in deep thought. "Should I go there?.... Nah. If those guys can't handle their enemies there, then I will just burden them if I go there."

"I just got lucky earlier since that Twilight-guy underestimate me too much. If he fought seriously from the start, then I am going to be the one that had been killed."

And after some time of careful thinking, Shin finally come up with a decision. "There will be no problem if I just watch from a distance, right? And watching a battle of Peak Class Experts up close is going to be beneficial for me after all."

"What's more, brother Lawless didn't warn me at going there. So their situation there might be still manageable."

After that, Shin dash at the direction where the other battle is happening.

.....

And after Shin left the area, a beautiful female Dark Elf suddenly walked out from the bushes behind the tree few meters away from the previous battlefield. And from the looks of her equipments, this female Dark Elf is a Twilight with a Tier-2 class.

If Faker was here, then he is going to become surprised because there is a person that managed to slip from his detection range!

This Dark Elf Master Twilight is 'Miss Bunny', a famous figure in the gaming world. In some sense, she can be called as one of the paparazzi of the game.

Miss Bunny is already been here since Shin fought with the group of 25 Rankers. Actually, she had recovered everything since the start of that battle.

How can she not take part in this event? When she got the news, she immediately rash to this place to take some shots. This a perfect material for her next video on her channel after all!

Of course, she did her best not to get discovered by the others since she is aware that this place is going to get chaotic as more time passes.

And even though she doesn't have any kind of battle capabilities, she is still confident with her hiding skills. In fact, most of her skills are for concealment enhancement so there not many players that can find her if she focuses on hiding. And the proof for that is she even managed to bypass Faker's detection range.

At first, she only wants to take some shots of the battles of some Peak Class Experts, but she didn't expect that she will bump into the rising star that she had been keeping her eye on.

What's more, this battle video that she just has gotten is going to become a sensational one! A well-known Titled Ranker fell on the hands of a player that just joined the game for only less than a month? And this guy is pretty much weaker than him. This is going to become a big news no matter how Miss Bunny looks at it.

What's more, she also received a news that this so-called 'Nameless Swordsman' had gotten into a fight with another rising star of the Saint Heaven Kingdom!

The famous guy who had beaten a group of three very strong Potential Titled Rankers all by himself. And he is also the very same guy who had initiated the two new consecutive System Updates, 'Sickarius'.

The 'Nameless Swordsman' against the 'Famed Swordsman', this is one of the topics that are currently in hot plate on the online forums. One is famous for butting heads with some Powerhouse Guilds while the other one is someone that the Powerhouses want to recruit.

"Looks like I need to find some time to look for this Sickarius-guy too. I can feel that I'm going to get more fan base if I managed to get more of his battle videos." muttered Miss bunny to herself while looking at the direction where Shin had run into.

Then she added with a cheerful mood after. "But for before that, let's get more materials for as much as I can. This is a rare opportunity that will only happen once in a blue moon. And I got lucky, I might even get some battles of the Powerhouse Guilds."

After that, Miss Bunny entered a stealth mode and followed after Shin.
