Traveling through the game world, starting out as a third-rate villain

The classroom was filled with the students' lively conversations and the air was filled with excited discussions.

"The exam is finally over."

"Yeah... I finally made it through."

As the clock pointed to meeting time, Professor Eleanor White walked in, her bright yellow hair contrasting sharply with the serious expression on her face.

"Everyone be quiet," she called, her voice cutting through the noise. The classroom gradually quieted down and everyone's eyes turned to the professor.

Eleanor paused, looking around the room, and then said, "As the first half of the semester comes to an end, I want to commend each of you for your efforts. You have all made remarkable progress."

A wave of pride surged through the students, and they exchanged smiles and nods.

"However," Eleanor continued, her tone becoming more serious, "we are not finished yet. The challenges ahead will be even more difficult than the first half, and I expect you to give it your all."

As she spoke, the atmosphere in the room grew more tense.

"There will be a week's break before we move on to the next phase of training. Use this time to rest up and also reflect on your experiences so far."

There was a murmur of excitement among students in anticipation of the holiday.

"During this time, you are free to leave the college and enjoy your vacation, but remember that our journey is far from over. Be prepared to come back with the same enthusiasm. In addition, your midterm exam results will be announced after the vacation, so please be sure to pay attention to the announcement."

With these words, Eleanor White closed her meeting. The students started talking again, discussing their holiday plans and their adventures for next semester.

......

"Finally, the first part of the semester is over."

I muttered to myself and walked towards my room. After the midterm exams, the academy will have a short vacation and the player will return to the Hartley family.

This section is very important for players, as this is when several important characters make their first appearances.

The Hartley family and Ethan's parents will appear as interactive characters in the game for the first time, and some future plots will also be laid here.

Other than that, there wasn’t much plot or major events during this period. But players can also choose to do some side quests. Although these tasks are not required, most players will use this time to explore the game world.

Therefore, this period of time is often referred to as the "monster spawning period".

However, this doesn't mean much to me. For me, I don't have any family to speak of.

“…”

Thinking back on it now, I feel a surge of anger again. I can feel a change in myself since yesterday. Guilt gave way to anger and the mood began to change.

“That’s weird.”

But this is also expected.

“I am also a human being.”

On the path I take, I am bound to change. This is human nature.

"I think they would have found the bodies by now."

Normally, I would have completely cleaned that building. But the three men used some magical equipment to cover up the movements in the building, so no sound was heard.

So no one will ever know what happened there, but I hope someone will find those traces of battle. After all, I made it look like they were killing each other, so no one would suspect me.

"Excuse me."

As I was walking, I heard someone talking ahead of me. I looked up and saw a man walking out of the building with a bunch of bags.

"Here." I nodded and made way for him, only to realize that I had been distracted.

"Thank you," he responded.

After he left, I returned to my room.

despair! squeak!

I opened the door and glanced around the room, which might have changed since the holidays.

Although my ranking will not be too high based on my performance in the midterm exam, it will not be too low either.

"Probably between 1,700 and 2,000."

This should improve the quality of my room. Although I have gotten used to it, the room is small and the study conditions are not ideal. I study in the library most of the time.

I barely do anything else in here except use it to sleep.

Sitting at my desk, I started browsing to make plans for the upcoming vacation.

"arms."

This is the focus of the upcoming holidays. I lack a suitable weapon.

The bows and daggers provided by the academy are pretty good, but the last confrontation with the devil's contractor proved that these ordinary weapons cannot achieve the goal I have in mind.

The one called Annie possesses the corrosive attribute, which is very rare among the devil contractors, but she is still at the bottom.

If I was going to face the demon and his future powerful minions, I would need a more powerful weapon.

But the question is: "What weapon should I choose?"

From the beginning, I never focused on using a single weapon. Instead, my style is much more varied, ranging from ranged combat to close combat, and flexible.

While this flexibility is great, it also puts limitations on me, and I know that none of the artifacts in the game are suitable for this kind of flexibility.

"Ultimately, I only had one choice."

I thought of a particular character and shook my head. No one but him could make me a weapon strong enough and suitable for me.

"However, it's not easy to find him. I need to collect some information first."

I turned on my watch and started messaging the hacker group.
