Reincarnated Avatar; I got 2 SSS-Rank Unique Skills-Chapter 14: An assignment
Chapter 14: An assignment
By the time that Noah was done learning all the skills that his stash of skill points could purchase, there was so much hostile energy behind him that he almost thought the players would attack him right there.
He chuckled. "Sorry guys, I just had to learn a few skills".
"Few skills my ass, get lost bastard!" The same angry player roared but as Noah chuckled, nonchalantly walking away, this player noticed something.
"Hey, is that not the Lord Doom who appeared on TV?"
These players were day players who just logged into the 11th server for the first time, but system announcements are like pinned messages in a server, always available to all players in that specific server.
This was why despite not being there to witness first-hand when Deadly Musician's raid party killed the Slumbering Bandit with Lord Doom's help, they still learned about the achievement.
"The one who claimed the Pork Labyrinth first hidden boss kill with a random party of newbies?"
"The one that everyone is talking about?"
"I think, yes, it's him!"
The new 11th server players quickly swarmed around Noah, asking him how he did it, if he had some overpowered equipment at this early level of the game.
This... was unexpected.
Noah was caught off-guard. He did not know how to get out of this situation despite being a literal Warstar celebrity for the past 10 years of his life, but then, a certain player controlling a Paladin bailed him out of his situation.
A few words from this player were enough to make the other players give him some space, they seemed to recognize and respect him.
{Thanks man}
Noah typed as he could not help but look at the I.D of this player, noting that his name was called Valiant Heart.
'Why does that name sound familiar?' He thought.
Noah didn't have to think long though as this player introduced himself. "Lord Doom, it's nice to finally meet you. My name is Valiant Heart".
"I know".
"You know me?"
"It's above your head". He pointed at the player's I.D that hovered above his in-game avatar.
"Oh, right". This player nodded. "Actually, I'm the guild leader of the Flame Phoenix guild here in the 11th server".
Hearing that, Noah already knew where this conversation was driving at.
After Noah stole the first kill of the Slumbering Bandit from him and his raid party, at first, Valiant Heart sent his subordinate to scout the raid party out and find out more about them but then, he noticed something interesting.
From his subordinates' finding, Deadly Musician and the others already ran the Pork Labyrinth dungeon once and were wiped out.
But that was Lord Doom's first dungeon raid and they ended up with such an achievement. It was self-explanatory, Lord Doom was most likely the expert.
If Deadly Musician and the other members of his raid party were the experts, they would have never been wiped out by a beginner dungeon.
Besides, before going to sleep after running dungeon raids all night, one of the members of Lord Doom's raid party, Healing Melody went on the global forum, bragging about being the first player in the 11th server to get a unique skill.
That... definitely caught Valiant Heart's attention.
Not only did these players kill the Pork Labyrinth hidden boss, they did it while most likely clearing a unique skill challenge too, making it a hard challenge.
If at first, they just guessed that Lord Doom was an expert, that final straw was all they needed to confirm it.
Encountering a unique skill challenge required a bit of luck in the game, but clearing it did not. Any Warstar player that had a unique skill needed to have a reasonable amount of skill and experience to clear the challenge.
Afterall, even they themselves, experts of a great guild were yet to get a unique skill in the new server.
This was why Valiant Heart, the guild leader directly approached Lord Doom. He didn't want to waste time before rival guilds noticed this talent.
Noah looked at this Paladin. "You want me to join your guild?"
'He understands!' Feeling optimistic, Valiant Heart nodded exuberantly.
"Trust me when I tell you this Lord Doom, the Flame Phoenix Guild is the best guild in the game! We have a lot of incentives for joining, most especially for an upcoming expert like you, we can give you..." He listed a lot of benefits exuberantly.
"Most importantly, we have a lot of experts that'll help you increase your skill level if you play constantly with them, and..."
Noah cut this Paladin off. "Is Flame Phoenix Guild related to Phoenix Rising?"
"Yes, of course!" This Paladin nodded, feeling proud. 'Of course, he would know of the 3-peat champion club!'
'We're currently the best club in England!'
'Surely, he would join us now!'
But then what Lord Doom said next left this player flabbergasted.
"Personally, I have no intentions of joining a guild, at least not yet. And besides," Noah chuckled. "I hate Phoenix Rising".
"Huh?"
The Paladin was stunned. Before he could say more, Lord Doom's avatar already turned around and walked out on him, going towards the distant Pork Labyrinth to continue leveling up.
'Wait...,' he wanted to call but he didn't even have the energy for it.
He was stunned. 'There's someone who actually hates Phoenix Rising?'
...
When Noah got back to the Pork Labyrinth dungeon, once people quickly found out his avatar's I.D, they rushed to invite him into their raid party.
In the end, Noah choose a random party, leveling up with them.

Playing 1 dungeon over and over again may seem repetitive, but Noah never got tired. Gaming was his life; besides, a hidden boss could appear any time.
Like this, he played for hours and when he got tired, he went back to the inn. Waking up 3 hours later, he continued.
Like this, Noah continued till Deadly Musician and his friends finally came back online. Seeing him online, they quickly messaged him.
{Boss, good evening, are you free?}
{Oh, you guys are online. Meet me in the Pork Labyrinth.}
Seeing his message, Deadly Musician felt excited. Before coming back to the game, he and his friends had been wondering if their encounter with the expert was just a one-time thing and he would refuse to raid dungeons with them again.
But now, Lord Doom's reply defused all his fears.
When they saw that he was already level 9 though, these players felt sweat gather in their foreheads. 'So fast! He doesn't sleep?'
"Boss, you've been busy while we were out". This player said.
"Yeah". Noah laughed.
And so, they went dungeon raiding.
At level 10, players would finally unlock the requirements to enter more beginner dungeons. At level 10, there are 2 more dungeons and at level 15, there was one more before the pivotal level 20 threshold.
After raiding Pork Labyrinth a few more times, feeling bad since they did not encounter another hidden boss, they leveled up to level 8 while Noah finally took the big step to level 10.
"Boss, you'll be going to the Monkey Rainforest, right?"
Monkey Rainforest was a level 10 dungeon.
Noah nodded. "But first, I have an assignment for you guys".
"An assignment?"
"Yes," Noah's avatar looked at them. "I need you guys to send a message to someone for me, a friend".
