Chapter 153 Getting Skills
[Twilight City, Mythosia]
In the heart of the city, amongst the crowds of people rushing about their daily lives, some players were going to raid the dungeon while some were making preparations for that.
"Looking for a group for the dungeon, need a healer and a tank!"
"Selling potions and elixirs, 10% off for guild members!"
"Anyone up for some PvP action? I\'m looking for some worthy opponents! The trash should stay away."
"I\'m new to the game, can anyone help me with this quest? I don\'t have a boyfriend."
"Selling rare items, PST for more info!"
"Hey, does anyone know where I can find a mayor\'s wife? I have some private business."
It was a typical scene in Twilight City, one of the many beginner cities in the game world.
The streets were bustling with players; eager to level up and earn some money so they could venture to the upper-tier cities.
Amidst the sea of adventurers, there was a man who stood out from the rest.
A lone figure caught the attention of many players.
He had long, flowing white hair that reached down to his shoulders.
His striking blue eyes had a faint hint of silver, and his handsome face was marked by a quiet confidence.
Despite his unremarkable clothing and lack of weapons, there was something otherworldly about him that drew the attention of those around him.
Some players glanced at him curiously, while others felt a sense of unease in his presence.
As he walked through the busy streets, his eyes scanned his surroundings, taking in the sights and sounds of the city.
"So annoying," he mumbled under his breath, showing little interest in the mundane activities of the other players.
He didn\'t stop anywhere and kept walking till he arrived near where the teleportation portal was.
As he approached the portal, the white-haired man noticed that the queue was quite long.
Players of all kinds were waiting their turn in line, from novice adventurers to seasoned warriors.
The noise level was high, as everyone chattered excitedly about their next quest or destination.
However, the white-haired man didn\'t bother to stand in line. Without hesitation, he walked right up to the portal and leapt into the air, arriving at his destination in a flash.
"Hey mfker, what kind of behavior is this?" one player shouted angrily. "You need to wait your turn like the rest of us!"
Other players chimed in with similar remarks, cursing and yelling at the white-haired man for his rude behavior.
The white-haired man ignored everyone and gazed at the portal.
This was the portal that would take him to his dream destination, and his heart raced with excitement as he stood in front of it.
"Excuse me, sir, but you need to stand in line like everyone else. There are rules in this city," a guard warned the white-haired man, trying to uphold the order.
"Is that so?" The white-haired man tilted his head curiously, and his eyes glinted with mischief.
His behavior continued to annoy many people who were looking at him.
Ignoring the angry murmurs of the other players.
Without a word, he reached into his inventory and produced a card made of polished platinum.
The card was pristine and gleamed in the sunlight, with the letters "S-10945" engraved in bold.
He flashed the card at the guard, who stepped back in surprise, eyeing the white-haired man with newfound respect.
But that wasn\'t all.
"I forgot about this." The white-haired man said and reached into his pocket to pull out a small, intricate emblem.
It was made of a shiny, silver metal and was carved with intricate patterns that seemed to shimmer in the light.
The man carefully affixed it to the right side of his chest, and suddenly, the emblem emitted a faint, ethereal glow that caught the attention of the other players nearby.
The other players gazed in awe at the emblem, wondering what it could possibly signify.
Some of them whispered among themselves, speculating about the man\'s true identity and the significance of the emblem.
As they watched in awe, the white-haired man simply smiled and turned his attention back to the portal.
He threw 30 Gold Coins at the guard after choosing his destination as Starfall City.
With a final nod, the white-haired man stepped forward and leapt into the portal, disappearing from view in a flash of light

[Starfall City, Mythosia]
Starfall City was a stark contrast to the bustling chaos of Twilight City.
The streets were wider, the buildings taller and more grandiose.
The air was fresher, and there was a sense of calmness that permeated the city.
The players looked more powerful compared to other people.
At that moment, at the teleportation portal air around it shimmered and crackled with energy as the portal activated, radiating a brilliant light.
It was indicating that someone has arrived through the portal.
Soon that white haired man came out of the portal.
He stumbled slightly, his legs unsteady from the disorienting teleportation.
As he regained his bearings, he tapped his clothes and looked around at his new surroundings.
He adjusted his clothing and strode forward with purpose, ready to begin his next adventure in this new place.
As the white-haired man steped down from the teleportation area, he found himself surrounded by a group of guards. They looked at him curiously and approached him cautiously.
"Excuse me, sir," one of the guards said. "We don\'t recognize you. Are you new to Starfall City?"
The man looked at the guards and nodded his head. "Yes, I am. I just arrived here from Twilight City."
The guards exchanged a look with each other before turning back to the man. "May we ask what brings you to Starfall City?"
"I am here to explore," he replied with a faint smile. "I\'ve heard that this city is full of wonders, and I\'m eager to see them for myself."
The guards looked at him skeptically, but after a moment, they stepped aside and allowed him to pass. "Very well, sir. Can you tell us your name?" One of the guards asked.
"Loki." The white haired man replied.
"Okay, Sir Loki. Enjoy your stay in Starfall City." The guards allowed him to leave.
The white-haired man nodded his head and walked away, his eyes scanning his surroundings with interest.
Loki walked leisurely without stopping until he arrived at the Library of the Starfall City.
"Time to get some new skills." Loki smiled as he entered gazed at the library.
