NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2
Chapter 2: Being Able To Fight While Lying Down Was Too Satisfying
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The effect of the passive skill “Defensive Counterattack” was undoubtedly very powerful, not to mention the additional defense.
It was able to reflect damage 100%. Who could withstand that?
The attacks from others or monsters would not only not be able to damage Occam’s HP, but they would also suffer 100% damage from their own attacks.
That was equivalent to being able to fight while lying down!
As a casual player who was too lazy to take action, Occam was pleased.
According to the information he had read online, every time a character leveled up, they would receive one Skill Point.
Occam decided to spend all his skill points on passive skills.
‘No fancy active skills are better than my passive skills!’
With these thoughts in mind, Occam headed out of town.
Now and then, a beam of light would descend from the sky and land on the Temple of Life behind Occam.
The players were entering the game.
The map of the World of Gods was huge.
Even though there were billions of players, not many players were assigned to each town.
It was not like the previous online games where everyone was crowded in the Beginner’s Village.
The town he was currently in was called Milan Town.
Walking in the town, Occam once again began to lament the reality of the game.
If he did not know this beforehand, he would definitely think that this was the real world.
This was unbelievable.
How did the Studio of Gods manage to do it?
On the other hand, Occam also felt a little strange.
There was no recharge function in “World of Gods”.

Could it be that they wanted to strengthen the user experience first before opening it?
Occam was letting his mind wander.
However, this had nothing to do with him.
As a casual player, Occam could just play his own game.
Soon, Occam walked out of the town.
Not far from the town was farmland. Further away was a green forest.
Some wild boars were eating the crops on the farm.
With a red HP bar above their heads, they were obviously wild creatures in the game.
A group of players was attacking them.
Occam casually used a player’s detection skill.
Wild Boar (Normal Monster)
Level: Lv 1
Health: 100
Defense: 10
Damage: 10 ~ 15
Skills: Bite and Tear, Smash
Introduction: A herd of wild boars living beside the town. They often gnaw on the crops on the farm.
…
Retracting his gaze, Occam headed into the distant forest.
These wild boars’ levels were too low.
If he wanted to level up, he would have to kill countless of them.
Moreover, the nearby players were almost all fighting the wild boars.
Occam did not bother to fight with them for it.
Since he was on the passive side, did he need to take action?
No.
Occam only needed to find a place with monsters of high levels and a large number of them, and lie down on the ground.

He just needed to wait for the monster to attack him.
On the way to the forest, Occam also encountered a few wild boars that the players had missed.
Even though he did not make a move, when he was a certain distance away, Occam was attacked by the boar.
“Ding! You have been attacked by the wild boar. You have triggered passive “Defensive Counterattack” (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 100% of the damage to the enemy!)”

“Ding! You have been attacked by the wild boar. You have triggered passive “Defensive Counterattack” (Effect: After being attacked, you will reflect 100% of the damage to the enemy!)”
…
A series of system prompts sounded.
The HP of the wild boar attacking Occam began to decrease.
At the same time, damage numbers appeared above the heads of the wild boars.
-13
-12
-14
…
Seeing that these wild boars were so persistent in attacking him, Occam simply lied down on the ground.
Occam felt something hit him, but he did not feel the pain.
The various feelings in the game were the same as reality, except that it could be mobilized.
Of course, Occam did not want to suffer. He had long since adjusted his pain level to the minimum.
Lying on the ground, Occam looked at the blue sky and white clouds overhead.
He had not seen it for many days.
It could not be helped. As a homebody who did not have to worry about his living, Occam had also forgotten how long it had been since he had left the house.

The appearance of this game was a blessing for a lazy homebody like Occam.
On the other side, a few wild boars were still attacking Occam.
The passive “Defensive Counterattack” was continuously activated as a result.
The health bar above their heads decreased rapidly until it was zero.
“Ding… you have successfully killed [Wild Boar (Normal)]. You have gained 10 EXP. ”
“Ding… you have successfully killed [Wild Boar (Normal)]. You have gained 10 EXP. ”
“Ding… you have successfully killed [Wild Boar (Normal)]. You have gained 10 EXP. ”
…
The wild boar fell to the ground unwillingly, then turned into a ball of data and slowly disappeared.
Occam stood and stretched.
The feeling of not needing to do anything and being able to fight monsters while lying down was too satisfying.
After stretching, Occam found a glow where the boar had died.
“Is this an equipment drop?”
Occam felt that his character was a little explosive.
He bent to pick it up.
“Ding… congratulations on obtaining “Rough Leather Boots”.”
Rough Leather Boots (White)
Level: Lv 1
Movement Speed: +1
Defense: +5
Introduction: A simple pair of boots made from wild boar skin.
Although there were not many attributes added, it was better than nothing.
Once he equipped the boots, Occam continued toward the forest.
He was still 300 EXP away from leveling up.
If he wanted to level up, he would have to kill many monsters.
Although Occam could not be bothered to make a move, it would be so much more comfortable to lie down and farm monsters.
At the same time, in the farmland outside the town, a few players were fighting wild boars.
An archer saw the scene of Occam being attacked by the wild boar before lying on the ground.
He had expected Occam to be sent straight back to town by the boar.
After all, these wild boars’ attributes were not very abnormal. However, if a few of them attacked a player together, there was no doubt that the player would die on the spot.
Even if the four of them teamed up to hunt wild boars, although the EXP awarded had to be shared, it was much better than fighting alone.
However, when he saw that Occam was completely fine and even killed a few wild boars, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
“Brothers, I think I saw God.”

His teammates glanced at him.
“Jeff, what are you talking about?”

“I saw a warrior who killed several wild boars,” the archer named Jeff explained.
“What? That’s impossible.”

“The attack and HP of wild boars are not low. One is not much, but a few of them together is quite scary.”
“That’s right. I believe you when you say you can kill a wild boar, but how can a few wild boars be possible?” his teammates retorted.
“Wait a minute, I have a recording. You’ll know when I post it on the forum.”
Jeff had turned on the recording screen as soon as he entered the game. Now he retorted.
“That’s him. Look, he’s heading toward Twilight Forest. Those are high-level monsters.”
Hearing this, the teammate looked in the direction that Jeff pointed.
When they saw where Occam was going, they were all surprised.
“He really went to Twilight Forest.”
“Those are all high-level monsters. Those who dared to go before are all dead.”
“I’m pretty sure he’s going to revive from town in a minute.”
