Overgeared: Path of Absolute

[Project "OOG" Commencing.]

(Author: OOG stands for Only One God)

***

-Year 20XX, South Korea, Shin's household at night-

"Aaaghhh…!

As the turbulence of memories invaded the current Youngwoo, a mind-reaping pain was induced in both his mind and spirit. The cause of such pain is the miracle of "Time Travel", which involves sending Grid's memory to his old self.

These were memories that hadn't occurred or happened yet. The scenes that flash through Youngwoo have ups and downs where he loses Khan, makes a family with his wives, and finally the great cataclysm. After that, he let out a painful scream as his body collapsed and fell to his bed. After that his mind and spirit regained stability and accepted the "memories" of Grid and they became one.

***

"Aaaghhh…!" Shin Sehee, who was sleeping soundly in her bed, was forcefully awakened by a short yet loud and painful scream.

'What was that!? That sounded like Oppa's voice…'

Shin Sehee who was still half-asleep, got up from her bed and went to her brother's room to check if he was ok.

After opening the door she peeked from the gap and saw-

'Hmm… he still asleep it seems, huh… let's take a closer look if he is ok.'

Shin Seehe proceeds to enter the room, as quietly as possible to not awaken her brother if he's asleep.

'Hmm… Oppa seems perfectly fine… but it seems his not sleeping properly… Did he overwork himself again?… it seems I have to keep studying to help Oppa lessen his burden.' As she said this in her thoughts she fixed her brother's blanket and properly covered his body to not catch a cold, and quietly left the room as much as possible and went back to her room.

'Though I wonder where did the scream come from? maybe Oppa had a nightmare?... forget it I'm just gonna ask Oppa tomorrow.' As she pondered this in her thoughts she laid back in her bed and went to sleep.

***

(Author: From onwards I'm going to start using the name Grid instead of Youngwoo unless Yura, Jishuka, or his parents talk to him).

-Morning-

As early as sunrise, Grid woke up with a big headache after the success of merging the past and present memories and the spirit that was processing the whole night.

'Aaghh… Damn it. I didn't think it would be worse compared to the dragon pill I swallowed in the past' Grid thought it would be less or just equal to the pain when eating the dragon pill. As he finished with his thoughts he got up and started doing basic warm-ups to get familiar with his current body.

'If I remember correctly today is the day that the capsules arrive... sadly it's only the cheap one which has a terrible synchronization rate'.

As Grid finishes his warm-ups he hears someone knocking at his door and he says "I'm decent" As he says this his sister Sehee/Ruby opens the door.

"Oppa are you alright?... last night I heard a scream coming from your room... did you have a nightmare?"

Grid hearing this thought an excuse and replied.

"Sorry, Sehee... about that I did have a nightmare... about something bad happening if I drink a cup of soju... hehe....."

Hearing this made Sehee worried about her Oppa since this was the first she saw Grid pale. And there's the fact that he was not getting angry at her for asking or caring for him since Grid always thinks she's being overbearing.

(Author: Grid in the past was a jerk but a good jerk nonetheless he does yell at her sister and get mad but that changes over time. And no his not abusing Sehee they only fought verbally or Grid gets pinched or punched in the shoulder).

"Ok.... if Oppa needs to talk to someone I'm always here to lend an ear."

She said while giving Grid a warm smile. seeing this Grid walks forward and hugs her sister.

"Thank you... I know I haven't been the best brother... Or a role model for you... But know this I would do anything for our family... By changing my ways and stopping drinking alcohol, Lastly don't overwork yourself, and be a kid for once and not acting like an adult... Instead, have fun with your friends and make fun memories and I will handle the rest."

Sehee, who was hugged by her Oppa, heard the words he said. She cried on Grid's shoulder, finally letting the dam open, and cried while saying, "Oppa!" As she cried, Grid continuously stroked her hair as gently as possible.

-10 minutes of Sehee crying and letting her emotions out-

Grid, who was comforting his sister, looked at her and couldn't help but smile at how adorable Sehee looked with puffy eyes.

"*sniff t-thank y-you... Oppa... for lending me a shoulder to cry *sniff p-promise me O-oppa that y-you wouldn't o-overwork yourself o-ok?"

Hearing this Grid smiled "I promise" as he patted Sehee's head after that they ate breakfast, Sehee who had a class today walked towards the door before leaving she looked at Grid.

"B-bye Oppa and remember keep your promise ok?"

Sehee who said this smiled and left before Grid could say anything back, he just smiled and shook his head and continued cleaning and finishing the house chores.

"*Sigh I should exercise my body to its peak again since it is hard to move it completely, according to the command of my mind since this weak body can't handle it yet"

-later that same day-

The capsule finally arrived and Grid installed it properly it only took 5 minutes or so, and as he finished he smiled ready to go back to the world of "Satisfy".

After checking if everything is ok in the house he lays in the capsule and sees all too well a familiar screen.

[Welcome to Satisfy]

[Please choose your ID]

"Grid" he replied while smiling.

[ID registered username Grid 0001]

Grid smiled being able to take the name Grid first and just ignore all the notifications and agree to all the contracts since he has already read all of it.

[Choose a kingdom and capital you would like to stay in]

"I choose the nationality of Eternal Kingdom and the starting point Patrian"

As he said this his surroundings changed and he was met with the walls of Patrian city, as he looked around he saw some players being mesmerized by the surroundings and Grid just smiled at this as he was hit with nostalgia, as he walked to the beginning NPC which is the patrol guard for his beginner items.

After speaking with the guard he looked at his stats and items and checked the condition of his body.

"Status Window"

Grid just hums looking at his current stats and items he knows that it would be hard to continuously hunt so he decides to get a skill that can be obtained relatively easily before starting he stretches his body to familiarize himself with his current stats and body. Since he has beginner stats he has to maintain proper focus to conserve his stamina and not waste any time, he swings his sword horizontally and vertically perfectly against a dummy after 10 minutes or so he uses the spear and does the same while mixing it with swings and stabs. Lastly, he uses the bow and aims for the head, torso, and heart and hits all of the targets perfectly.

The patrol guards and people who saw Grid were awed at his skills with all three weapons perfectly being used without any waste of movements, Though the players laughed at him saying his crazy thinking he would gain a skill they made fun of him and recorded him to post later in the internet... Oh, how wrong they were thinking that he was just doing nonsense.

Grid who was finished decided to sit on the training grounds and meditate, the players saw this and laughed even more but Grid didn't pay any attention to them and just replayed everything he did in his mind and focused.

'Ignore the sounds you're hearing... breathe in... breathe out... *sigh'

[You have achieved the state of meditation and reached the beginner level]

Seeing all this Grid was shocked but couldn't help smiling, he then stood up from the ground and stretched his body since he acquired the passive meditation he could now continue hunting for a whole day without getting tired.

Grid took a deep breath and exhaled to clear his mind and relax his body, he then started to walk in the forest as he continued to walk 5 black rabbits jumped at him Grid already sensed them dodge, and at the same time swung his sword horizontally hitting all 5 black rabbits and in the neck instantly killing 3 out of 5.

[You have defeated a black rabbit x3.]

[You have acquired 3 bronze coins.]

[You have acquired 3 rabbit meat.]

[You have acquired a rabbit's horn.]

The 2 black rabbits that survived are instantly killed by Grid by using footwork similar to his sword dance, swinging his body to the right side to propel himself to the rabbits, he hits the rabbits with another horizontal attack killing them instantly.

[You have defeated a black rabbit x2.]

[You have acquired 2 bronze coins.]

[You have acquired 2 rabbit meat.]

[10 experience has been acquired.]

Just like that Grid ended the rabbits in just 4 seconds without wasting any movements, In the first place it wouldn't be possible for Grid to be hit unless a level 50 or above tried to kill him even then they would have a hard time.

'It seems this would be a lot easier than I expected, though I have to hurry since a lot of players are probably gonna hunt in groups this would lead to problems later on.

As he finished his thoughts he sprinted to another area where the breeding ground of the rabbits' infestation is since it would be much easier for him to hunt multiple monsters instead of a small pack. 

-1 hour of chibi Grid attacking the breeding ground-

"Ok that's the last of them *sigh I grossly underestimated how many rabbits are in this area then again this is the breeding ground, though thanks to this I managed to hit level 4 by killing 100 rabbits.

 As he said this a notification popped up in front of Grid's face.

Grid couldn't hold it together "Wxx!" he let out a curse because of how happy he was, Grid who was motivated by the rewards instantly went to the 2 murderous rabbits, the rabbits instantly dashed to Grid, but Grid who saw this instantly countered using the chipped spear by piercing one of the rabbits in the eye.

[You have defeated a murderous rabbit.]

Suddenly a loud shriek is heard it was the Rabbit Queen running full speed at Grid, instantly Grid switches using a bow and aims at the ankle of the Rabbit Queen and hits the mark.

[You have dealt 132 damage.]

The Rabbit Queen tumbled down to the ground and hit a tree seeing this Grid instantly switched to his spear and threw it to the other ankle to immobilize it, which perfectly did its job.

[Critical Hit!]

[You have dealt 423 damage.]

[You have entered the meditative state.]

[Increases health and mana regeneration rate by 50%, and stamina regeneration by 30%.]

[Skill cooldown time will be reduced by 10%.]

-10 minutes of chibi Grid meditating-

[The Rabbit King has spawned.]

[The Rabbit King has entered the berserk state.]

[The Rabbit King stats have increased by 30%.]

"Damn, I didn't expect that the boss would show itself in a short amount of time!"

Although Grid said this with frustration he was still smiling and prepared to fight back, seeing the this the Rabbit King reacted by screeching a loud howl and started bolting to Grid, seeing this Grid followed up by using the step of Pinnacle dance and clashed with the Rabbit King head on.

[You have perfectly blocked the attack 0 damage is received.]

[The Rabbit King berserk state is temporarily off for 10 seconds.]

Seeing this Grid immediately followed it up with a slash attack using his sword and used the steps of kill to connect a stab to the eyes of the Rabbit King. Being hit in its eyes it yelled a howl and immediately followed it up with a bite, Grid instantly used his sword to block the attack but due to it being stuck in its mouth Grid let go and took out his spear. 

[Critical Hit!]

[You have dealt 217 damage.]

[The Rabbit King's hit rate has been reduced by 25%.]

The Rabbit King saw this and instantly spit the sword to the side and tried to dodge by jumping, Grid instantly took advantage by thrusting his spear towards the Rabbit King, knowing it couldn't dodge the attack it spun its body mid-air so it wouldn't be hit in its vital organs instead its legs was pierced by the spear.

[You have dealt 23 damage.]

[The Rabbit King's stats are reduced by 10% due to fear.]

[The Rabbit King's agility has been reduced by 20%.]

[The Rabbit King's berserk state has been forcefully canceled due to fear.]

Grid then proceeds to let go of his spear and instantly sprints to where the sword was thrown, the Rabbit King immediately reacted by following Grid but due to its stats being lowered and its leg being pierced, it was not able to chase Grid. Instantly Grid used footsteps reminiscent of his Overgeared God Sword Dance and used his momentum to instantly attack, the Rabbit King who was charging at Grid was hit by Grid and was not able to properly defend itself due to directly charging and this caused it to lose its leg to Grid.

[Critical Hit!]

[You have dealt 713 damage.]

[The Rabbit King's agility has been reduced by 60%.]

It instantly panicked due to losing its leg and tried to escape, Grid instantly used his sword to stab in the torso followed by a vertical cut, this caused the Rabbit King to bleed due to the massive wound it received nevertheless it instantly used all its limbs and jump as far as possible, Grid reacted by switching weapons as he took out his bow.

[Critical Hit!]

[Critical Hit!]

[You have dealt 673 damage.]

[You have dealt 918 damage.]

[The Rabbit King's state is bleeding and would constantly take 5% proportional to its current health.]

'Ok this thing is probably trying to use the trees as cover, but since it is desperate the movements are quite predictable, ok now breathe in... breathe out... *sigh'

As he did this he pulled the bowstring aimed high and just focused for 10 seconds, then he released the bowstring and the arrow flew and pierced the head of the rabbit king instantly killing it.

[Critical Hit!]

[You have dealt 1,473 damage.]
