[Welcome Player to Exodus]
Alex frowned but chose to listen to the mechanical female voice.
[Please identify yourself]
''Alexander Kael Touch.''
[Alexander, begin scan]
Then a light appeared and covered Alex's body, scanning him, soon it was done. After the scan, the mechanical voice echoed again.
[Initialization new status window.....]
[Initialization complete. Will player Alexander keep his real name or change it?]
At this question, Alex didn't hesitate; he already had the answer.
''I'll go with Alex Grim,'' Alex announced.
[Very well, Alex Grim, it is.]
[Due to the player innate ability, only a few classes have been found, please choose one]
Then several small windows appeared before Alex.
〘Assassin〙〘Ranger〙〘Magic Gunman〙〘Magic Gunslinger〙
Although he didn't know the difference between gunman and Gunslinger, Alex chose without hesitation Magic gunslinger. It was his actual class, after all. As for the assassin and rangers class, he didn't choose them. He preferred to stick to something he was familiar with instead of trying something new, he only has three lives here, and it wasn't like he could reselect a class after every death.
[Good, the class chosen is Magic Gunslinger. Please summon your status.]
Alex took a deep breath before summoned his status as he was told.

'Few things changed, and new things are added. I thought that my status and some of my skills would be restrained to create fairness, but I guess I was wrong.' Alex mumbled while looking at his status window.
[Player Alexander will be sent to a nearby city, a starter village if you want. Wish you good luck and have fun playing.]
Alex's entire body disappeared with the light.
✿
The location where Alex had appeared from the light was in a middle of a city.
A location where countless people and NPCs were at.
''We were recruiting people to raid Kelkan dungeon. Anybody interested?"
''Recruiting members for the newly established clan: The thousand Flowers clan.''
Loud voices could be heard all over the place. Alex looked at this scene for a while.
During this time, others people were staring at him, some mumbled.
''A newcomer?"
''Yes! I wonder from which world he came from?"
''Who cares? Judging by his equipment, he must be a complete novice. Nothing good will come out of getting associated with somebody like him. Although I can't see his level, he must be level 80 or 90, nothing special. Let's go; it's time to head to that dungeon; we must get to Starfall city quickly as possible; the real adventure begins only there.''
Alex ignored those whispering around him and looked into the sky; there was a huge name in the sky.
[Alkan City: Starter village #00998]
''Ah, I wonder where the others are and how they are doing. Sigh! I shall worry about myself. First, I can see them later. For now, I shall do a few quests. But where do I start?" Alex stopped and started to ponder. Exodus was unlike the typical MMORPG he played; this is more like a free world where the choice was given to the players instead of imposing something on him.
'My final destination doesn't change; it's that tower. But for now, Hehehe! It's going to be fun.'
Alex purposely raised the corners of his mouth and made a happy expression.
The passing players made a strange expression at Alex but then just walked past him.
✿
In another starter's village, [Accel's city: Starter's Village #00995], in a forest, a massacre was taking place.
''Ack! No, if I die, I'll be expulsed, no, no, please spare me, noooo!"
Flame burnt the pleading man into a cinder.
The remaining men tried to escape from this monster quickly; however, they didn't take two steps before being set ablaze and burnt like their comrades.
[Player from Red Coffin: Alaan died.]
[Player from Red Coffin: Sigaal died!]
[Player from Red Coffin guild: Numan died!]
[Player...]
Numerous notifications rang through the air as the girl kept slaughtering the bugs that tried to kill her; finally, there was only one left. The pitiful man was shaking so much that he peed himself.
''You- you monster, you murderer!" Shouted the trembling man.
Gracier pinched her nose and chuckled.
''You first approached us, at first I didn't want to join, but as newcomers, I decided to follow to learn the basics about this world, but would have thought that just as we entered the forest to complete the Stone Wolf quest, you lots would ambush us and killed us. However, unlike the others who were helpless and died, I fought back and massacred you, and you say I'm a murderer? What a joke. You are the one that should be called a murderer.''
Gracier smiled before she swung her scythe, and the man's head flew into the air before disappearing into a light form.
[Congratulations to player Red Queen Alexander for successfully clearing a hidden quest: Slay the Beginners Killers.
Reward: + 1 level and 100 Fame points.]
Gracier smiled because she gained one only; however, her expression soon changed at the new notification.
[Warning: Because you killed 10 of their members, the Red Coffin guild has put you on the Black List. Any members or assassins affiliated with the Red Coffin guild will come after you.]
Gracier's lips twitched; how would she have thought that she would be this unlucky. However, her blood boiled at the prospect of this unknown world, this unknown danger.
''Bring it!" She shouted.
