After surviving the Random Quests Challenge and proving his mastery in the Skill Challenge, Noah now stood before the final trial…, the Arena Challenge.
But he didn't start it immediately though.
"Ah… I need a smoke".
He returned to the city where he bought a smoke in-game.
Originally, Warstar was realistic enough, containing everything but players rarely bought things like cigarettes in-game simply because they won't feel it.
But due to Noah's peculiar situation, he could feel it.
And so he enjoyed it.
There in the city, as he smoked, having used a disguise cloak to hide his identity, he listened to conversations in the bar as casual players argued about which guild were currently the best in the 11th server.
"Guild Echelon of course!"
"Huh? They're just starting!"
"And so what? They have Lord Doom, they're obviously the best!"
"They're not even officially a top guild yet!"
