20 minutes later.
Isaac arrived at the Gates of the Stronglord with his beautiful face drenched in sweat.
''Huff... Huff...'' Isaac took deep breaths and tried to catch his breathing.
He bought a few hundred Musket Bullets a while ago, which cost him another 500 White Coins.
He looked around the area close to the Gates, trying to find Darth.
Isaac narrowed his eyes as he saw most of the carriages being taken already by annoyed-looking players, while the Carriage Drivers arrogantly counted their money in front of the players.
Soon, his gaze got locked at one of the Carriages. He saw a lonely-looking black-haired young man standing with annoyance.
Isaac recognized him as Darth; he walked towards him and heard Darth muttering something.
''Fucking bastard... I will take my arrow and push it so deep in your arseholes that you will start spitting money...'' Darth stomped the ground angrily, but then he saw Isaac standing next to him with a questioning look.
*Cough*
Darth coughed out of embarrassment, ''D-Did you get the bullets?''
''Yes, did you get the carriage?'' Isaac asked.
''Tsk.'' Darth clicked his tongue and nodded, ''I did... But that was fucking costly; we better get good stuff from the Dungeon; otherwise, I might cry to sleep.''
Isaac wryly smiled, ''When are we leaving?''
Darth looked towards the driver, who was chatting with two other drivers, with no intention to leave.
His eyebrow twitched, ''When those gossiping bitches are ready to leave.''
Isaac peeked towards the drivers and saw them laughing while showing their money pouches. The Drivers also looked quite different from what he remembered.
They were wearing expensive outfits, only used by nobles and different kinds of jewelry was hanging from their necks.
It was like they were desperately trying to announce to everyone that they were rich.
Isaac sighed, ''Do they not understand the Carriages will become useless in the future?''
''Hmm, what do you mean?'' Darth looked at Isaac with questioning looks.
''I managed to arrive at the Beast Forest only 10 minutes later than Carriage would,'' Isaac said.
''And?'' Darth looked confused, but soon realization dawned on him.
''When our Stats are getting higher, I am sure arriving at the Beast Forest with running is possible in less than 1 hour.''
Darth's face started having a massive smirk, ''Hahaha! Those fuckers will be so fucked then!''
Isaac nodded, but then he shrugged, ''New players might still use Carriages, but... Maybe they understand their mistake by then and lower their prices.''
Darth pondered, but then a sly smile appeared on his handsome face, ''Maybe in the future there has also different ways of transportation.''
''Hmm?'' Isaac tilted his head.
''I have heard that there are players who have got Animal Manuals; it allows them to control the Wild Animals!'' Darth grinned and continued, ''If we can get like a Wolf Manual, we can use the Wolf as a mount!''
Isaac widened his eyes in amazement, ''That's incredible.''
Darth smugly looked towards the drivers who were still gossiping, 'You fuckers... Enjoy poverty in the future; I will be there to laugh at your faces then.'
More and more players started arriving at the entrance. Many of them started running towards the Beast Forest after seeing all the carriages being taken.
Many of them were also part of the Black Arrow and Golden Crown Guild.
Soon, a dozen figures arrived at where Darth and Isaac were.
''Guild Master.'' Darth nodded towards Queen Diana, who looked lovely in her green dress, with her robe covering most of her body.
''Darth-chan, good job on getting Carriage.'' Queen Diana said with a sweet smile.
Darth nodded and finally saw the driver walking towards the Carriage, but very slowly.
''Yo.'' King Jonathan appeared next to Queen Diana and said.
''Yo,'' Darth replied, while Isaac nodded.
''Alright, let's go; I don't have all day.'' The driver said arrogantly and sat on the driver's seat.
Darth felt his hand itch, but he entered the carriage, with Isaac and others following right behind.
''Hiyah!'' The driver shouted and used the whips to hit the buttocks of the horses.
*Neigh!*
The horses neighed in pain and started running towards the Gates of Stronglord while pulling a large Carriage.
The Carriage quickly passed many of the Players and started making its way to the Beast Forest.
Inside the carriage.
There were around 15 seats, and all of them were filled.
Isaac sat in the corner seat with Darth next to him and King Jonathan in front of him.
Queen Diana was sitting next to King Jonathan while innocently fidgeting her fingers.
''My name is Jonathan; I don't think we have talked before properly.'' King Jonathan put his hand for a handshake.
Isaac grabbed the hand and shook it, ''Wraith.''
''What is your class?'' King Jonathan asked curiously, he thought about the possibility of Isaac being an Archer, but he isn't holding an arrow or quiver.
''Don't tell him, we are rivals,'' Darth said with his arms crossed.
King Jonathan chuckled, ''I doubt that information will hurt.''
Darth snorted.
''Is Jonathan your real name?'' Isaac asked curiously.
King Jonathan smiled and nodded, ''It is.''
''Why are you using your real name?'' Isaac asked curiously.
''Because they have to,'' Darth said.
''Why?'' Isaac looked confused, but then Queen Diana answered.
''Creator of White Online, Arthur told every King and Queen to have their real-life name as their nametag.'' She said with a shrug. Even she doesn't know the reason for it.
''Did you guys have King and Queen in your name automatically?'' Isaac asked.
King Jonathan nodded, ''We did. Our accounts are linked with our Beta Tester accounts, so Arthur added that nametag to our accounts before White Online even got released.''
Queen Diana proudly puffed her chest, ''I was the fifth one to receive Queen title.''
King Jonathan awkwardly chuckled, ''I was eight to receive King title.''
''Do you guys know King Klaus?'' Isaac curiously asked.
King Jonathan nodded, ''I met him a few times. Why?''
''I read his forum post, and apparently, he hates Marksman class with passion,'' Isaac said with slight annoyance.
Suddenly, King Jonathan's and Queen Diana's faces turned into shock.
''Are you sure he said that?'' King Jonathan asked with a frown.
Isaac nodded, ''Why?''
''Well....'' Queen Diana's face looked conflicted, ''King Klaus' class is Marksman.''
