Chapter 27: The Vicealmirante's Apprentice

"You seemed not surprised?" Madame Soledad claimed while watching the beautiful underwater scene that can be viewed in the elevator.

"Was there more to be surprised by you? You had too many secrets that you decided to reveal one by one... why not tell them all to me in one go, so I could be shocked one last GRANDLY time! seeing this, I feel that you are somehow a part of a really strong organization..." Pedro was dejected and expressed his anxiety by telling hints, in general, to expose and confirm that Madame Soledad belongs to BHO.

Pedro was feeling anxious, although Madame Soledad accepted him as an apprentice, He still hadn't acquired the skill-making talent. Madame Soledad glanced a bit at Pedro.

"Since, you have come this far... Let me tell you one thing first!" She then moved towards Pedro's back quickly that Pedro was only able to see her after images because of his six years of experience of Bearth in his past life.

'Huh? So fast!' Pedro was amazed but at the same time, the anxious feeling instantly turned into fear. It was like he was one step away from death's door. When he finally had a glace at his back, he saw Madame Soledad in position with her right hand, that looked like a molten metal hand, was about to strike his back. Although he was able to see her about to strike and his mind commanded to dodge, his body was too slow at the moment to respond and dodge.

Shhhk... A cloth torn sound was heard as he closed his eyes, hoping that he won't die. Seconds later he regains his consciousness and realized something weird...

'Oh... right... I have an undying skill... wait... why is there no system notification about the skill activating? could...' Just as he was about to open his eyes someone karate chopped his head.

...

A second ago...

Ting... The elevator went open...

"Let's go!" Madame Soledad somehow burned a part of Pedro's overcoat. She then stood up and walk, when she passed Pedro, she saw a hilarious look in Pedro's face with his eyes closed.

"Hey, Kiddo! Stop spacing out!" She scolded as she karate-chopped Pedro's head.

Paaaak!

"Ouuuuch! What was that for?" He complained but Madame Soledad only looked at him seriously. He then checked his back and saw that his overcoat has a large black burned mark in it. Hence, the words written on the back of his overcoat were only...

"Apprentice"

"Keep in mind... you're not just some skill-maker's apprentice! you are my apprentice! so DON'T MAKE ANYTHING STUP@@ AND DON'T SLACK OFF! Anyway... Let's go! I need to stop by the elevator control room to give someone a lesson!" She commanded as she grasps her molten metal looking fists.

As soon as they left the elevator, Madame Soledad instructed Pedro...

"After we stop by the elevator control room, Carlos, the man earlier, will assist you in the vacant rooms you can choose to occupy. Whenever you are free, you can look for me to learn things... However... be reminded that when I say learn doesn't mean I would always teach... Most of the time, you would learn by observing! How much you'll progress will depend on you! Also, Not because you're my apprentice doesn't mean that you rank only second to me! You still rank the lowest among the ship's crew, so be nice! I won't save you from any trouble you make here! Understood!"

"Yes, Madame!" Pedro attentively shouted

"Good! Any questions?" She asked knowing that Pedro was an enthusiastic person and was eager to learn anything, in effect, it caused him to always ask questions to her.

"Ohh... How can I increase my rank in the crew?" He asked

"increase your rank? We are under the command of the Bearth Human Organization! An Organization focused on protecting the whole Bearth from monsters! The crew ranks were determined by the organization with some tests or quest to show your strength... Once you have reached Intermediate and advanced ranked, you can challenge BHO Personnel of the same level or one level higher... I'll explain further when you reach that level! As of now! Strengthen yourself... You have the potential to reach even the Master rank like me... so... Don't slack off!" When Madame Soledad was finished she entered the elevator control room and left Pedro outside.

baaag! baaaag! baaaag! baaaag! Various metals were crushed by a punch inside the elevator control room.

...

...

"What???? Of course NOO!" Pedro screamed, there was always a rule in games, with fame comes with power, and power comes with many enemies!

...

[Sever Announcement!]

"Sh@+!! I just saw someone died after attacking a level 1 monster! That announcement must have distracted that courageous B@5+@r@!"

"You guys never learn the lesson to not attack any monster!"

"welcome back to level zero!"

...

After almost a night of the beta version of Bearth in real life, beta players made a closed forum for them to post pieces of information that might be helpful to each other and the developers.

This has also become a type of communication in the game for players since messaging were only available for in-game friends. Hence, after the system announcement, the forums become lively again after the protest earlier made by the players saying that the developers made the game too realistic and too hard!

...

Pedro was uninterested in the "chat war" in the forums, that's why he shifted his focus back to the reward.

...

[Do you want to generate random skill? Yes or No]

...

"Yes!" Pedro shouted

...

[Generating random skill... please wait!]

...

[Random skill generation completed!]

[You have learned the new skill!]

...

Skill: ~Might of Pain~

Rarity: Gold-rated Skill

Skill Type: Passive

Passive Effect: Absorbs 100% of the damage dealt into the user and adds it to the total attack and magic damage of the user. Has a (Luck)% chance to trigger a True Damage Effect. (If the user was hit and a damage was dealt with in five seconds, Effect activates again and the increase in damage stacks until (Release Effect) was satisfied.)

Release Effect: When the user attacks and the additional accumulated damage was applied the Passive effect resets and the attack and magic damage of the user returns back to its original.

True Damage Effect: Ignores 100% of the target's defense and consider damage dealt as raw damage.

[How much can you endure pain?]

...

"A..." Pedro was silenced beyond words... He is lucky at the same time unlucky... He got a skill that greatly works with his undying cycle... however... it was only closed beta version... "developers" of the game will reset any progress, as usual, on AVR games.

"There you are, mister! Let's go and choose your room!" Carlos saw Pedro who was outside the elevator control room, motionless and it seemed like he was unconscious...

"It seems he is unconscious..." Carlos pondered for a bit. 'this might be his sickness the Vicealmirante told us about...'

"brother carry him! Let's put him first in a vacant room! He can choose to switch rooms once he gained his consciousness!" Carlos commanded the big man beside him.

"Gotcha! " The big man carried Pedro by his shoulders and started walking deep in the hallway.
