I am Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes.

However, he was not the leader of any guild. Although he looked like a young master, his demeanor, which suggested he had been in a high position for many years, was surprising.

Jill set the teleportation crystal to the three people present as teleportation targets and nodded.

"Teleport!" The light from the teleportation crystal enveloped the three of them, and they disappeared from the spot.

……

tread……

What came into Jill's view was a vast expanse of mist, and according to her physical sensations, she could also vaguely see a large grove of trees to her side and ahead.

Jill quickly realized that they were in a forest.

Jill looked at the misty forest before her and clicked her tongue.

Kirito and Asuna were also nearby. Gil's deep voice reminded them, "Be careful. Stay back to back and stay alert."

Jill's exceptional hearing and senses told her that there was something special about this forest.

"Whoosh..." In the next moment, all three of them simultaneously drew their weapons.

At that moment, something moved in the shade of a tree behind and to the side of Gil, directly in the direction of Asuna.

"They're here!" Gil called out softly, then switched places with Asuna. "Switch!"

Jill reacted the fastest, drawing her "Fangs" sword instantly and slashing the lunging figure from mid-air to the ground.

At this moment, everyone could see clearly that the monster that Jill had killed in one blow was a monkey with white, misty fur all over its body, just like this fog-like fur.

“Be careful, these monsters are incredibly fast…” Jill glanced at her health bar, which had dropped by about 3%. “Each attack from them can take away about 5% to 7% of your health. Be careful, you can’t afford to lose health like this, and this area…”

Jill took a crystal, glanced at the gray usage item, and said, "It's a crystal nullification area."

The Crystal Nullification Zone, as the name suggests, is a place where no crystal can be used.

The inability to use the Life Crystal, which can instantly restore health to full, is clearly a disadvantage.

"Okay, I understand," Kirito replied.

“These monsters don’t have high defense or health, you can kill them with one hit,” Jill added. “But you have to hit them directly. If you just glancing at them, the attack won’t kill them, it will only take away half of their health at most, so be careful.”

"learn."

"Understood." Asuna looked at Gil with some admiration.

Can so much information be determined from just one attack?

Actually, it's because Jill comes with her own strategy guide; she has more information than the closed beta testers, which is naturally the effect of being an omniscient and omnipotent star.

"Asuna, over there!" Gil called out immediately upon hearing the noise.

Asuna swung her rapier and pierced the white monkey that pounced on her.

The white monkey fell to the ground and turned into countless red crystal fragments.

Disappear.

Chapter Nine: The Misty Forest – Danger Lurks Everywhere!

five minutes later.

"Pfft!" Gil used his katana, "Fang," to kill another white-haired monkey. Seeing that it was yet another monkey that had turned into crystal fragments, Gil's vigilance became even more intense.

“Let’s go, don’t delay,” Jill said. “I’ll lead the way.”

"Hiss..." Jill exhaled, and the surrounding air seemed to be stirred up, forming a small vortex.

"Soul Flash..." Jill swiftly drew her sword, "Full Moon!"

This sword strike killed another five or six white-haired monkeys. Jill's voice was low and deep, "Come with me!"

The ability to see far cannot be used in the game, since the body is only fictional, and Jill naturally cannot directly see through the dense fog to find the way.

But he has an omniscient and omnipotent star, right?

It's fortunate that Jill didn't choose the All-Knowing and All-Powerful Star at the beginning. Otherwise, given that her soul and body hadn't fully awakened, the best outcome of choosing the All-Knowing and All-Powerful Star would have been a headshot.

Even if he survives by chance, and the storyline doesn't start from K, but from a world like "No Game No Life" or "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," how long would it take him to grow to where he is now?

Stop, take a look at the world currency price of Ea, and also the price of the Gate of Babylon vault.

20, 50.

This is definitely not someone to mess with; the template is that of a ruthless businessman.

It must have taken them more than a dozen dungeons to reach their current strength.

The feedback from the omniscient and omnipotent star showed Jill the way forward.

"This way," Jill said, leading the way while keeping an eye out for any white-haired monkeys that might appear in the vicinity.

The information provided by the Omniscient Star is practically a strategy guide, and combined with Jill's original Golden Ratio, it's like having a human-shaped, self-contained cheat code to play the game.

"Kirito, to the left rear; Asuna, to the right front!" Gil decisively reported the positions.

Kirito and Asuna simultaneously slashed their swords in the direction Gil indicated, and the corpses of two white-haired monkeys immediately fell to the ground.

"Gil, how sensitive must your hearing be..." Kirito said with a wry smile.

“Is this the time to be thinking about these things?” Jill turned the corner ahead. “Just three more minutes and we’ll be out of this foggy area.”

At that moment, Asuna felt something stepping on her.

"Hiss!" A huge green snake stood up and hissed in Jill's direction.

"?!" Asuna's expression changed. It was obvious that what she had just stepped on was part of this snake.

"Tch..." Jill spat. "Run forward, and stay alert!"

This is practically Temple Run!

"Soul Flash - One Star!" Jill thrust her sword forward, slashing a long wound on the giant snake, instantly reducing its health bar by a third.

"One more time...!" Jill drew a circle with her longsword, "Soul Flash - Full Moon!"

The attack, ignoring 80% of the defense, instantly reduced the Orochi's health bar to zero. Gil didn't even check what materials were lost before immediately chasing after the two figures ahead.

"Roar!" Gil saw the two people ahead being entangled by a man-eating flower, but the man-eating flower was killed by Kirito and Asuna together.

"Don't hesitate, keep running!" Jill said as she quickly passed the two of them.

"it is good!"

……

Finally, after a long while, having encountered a giant snake and a man-eating plant, the group, fortunate enough to avoid any more monsters, finally emerged from the mist-covered forest.

The three stopped to rest.

"It's a good thing it was you, Gil, who got the mission..." Kirito said with a wry smile. "If it had been any other player, it would probably have been a disaster, almost a total wipeout."

The three people in front of them were all at a very high level, and Gil's equipment was excellent. Even if he was scratched by that white-haired monkey, he would lose 3% of his health. Kirito and Asuna would also lose a lot of health if they were scratched.

For players with insufficient equipment, a single hit from that monkey could take away 15% to 20% of their health.

If it were other players, they probably wouldn't even be able to get past the first level; they would all die in that foggy area.

"That proves I'm lucky." Jill nodded, then opened her inventory to check the items.

There was an extra snakeskin, and a whole bunch of monkey fur...

“...I think I’ll probably have my new clothes soon…” Jill muttered.

“Let’s prepare to move on. This vast Misty Forest can’t possibly contain only this much.” Jill stroked the fang in her hand. “And I have a feeling that what follows might be even better.”

I'm hoping for a new weapon; my fangs are almost maxed out.

After the three of them rested and their health bars were fully restored, they continued walking forward.

Because they had enough time this time, Jill and her group slowed down.

Soon, Jill and the others stopped in their tracks.

Because what was blocking the road was a huge brown bear.

The brown bear was still asleep, and it was exceptionally large. According to Jill's estimation, the creature was about four meters tall when standing upright, and its head was covered with something that looked like armor.

"...It's the BOSS..." The three of them simultaneously became alert.

If it could block the middle of the road and there were no other monsters nearby, then this is the only explanation.

Jill and the others should not have entered the BOSS's aggro zone yet.

Jill waved her hand, gesturing for everyone to stop.

After what had just happened, Asuna and Kirito were convinced of Gil's command, so they stopped.

“We still don’t know the BOSS’s aggro zone…” Jill glanced at the map beside her. “Moreover, this area is still black, and there are no quest prompts. And we’ve only completed two phases of the quest, and we’ve already encountered the BOSS. That means we may have to face multiple BOSSes later on, so I want to make it clear to you that it’s not too late to abandon the quest.”

"...Why don't we try to see how many levels we can clear?" Asuna suggested. "The equipment and materials dropped by the bosses are really good..."

"..." Kirito nodded, clearly agreeing with Asuna's suggestion.

Jill glanced at the two of them. "So, are you ready? The first boss battle is about to begin."

Jill gripped her fangs and took a step forward.

The brown bear has not yet woken up.

“…This is bad, that size…if it hits…” Jill clicked her tongue, “Never mind, let’s try again.”

When Jill and her team were only twenty meters away from the brown bear, the bear opened its eyes!

P.S.: Actually, I do have two outlines like this. One is a complete set with a missing star and a full set of King's Treasure, but it takes a long time to train and increase the attack power of King's Treasure. (Semi-growth build)

Another one... All-star start, survived by sheer luck, a game of life—JOJO... and then it starts like this, Gate of Babylon... unlocks until death... only once you get the attack power, it's complete (working yourself to death for Gate of Babylon... a growth story).

What kind of equipment is in Chapter Ten?

"Awoooo ...

The brown bear boss wasn't very fast, but all three knew that if they were hit, even with their equipment, their health bars could turn yellow instantly!

"Get out of the way, fight on the move!" Jill commanded.
