The Strongest Gamer Became A Game Character

'Sigh what should I do? Do I really have to win this? Well I can't just ignore him for trying to force yuan to be his wife, maybe I should test my powers to him first since this will be my first time using magic.'

Using magic in the game was easy as you're only using assigned hotkeys to activate them and you're mana is also automatically refilled if you have mana potions in your inventory, and while on combat you can heal using a health potion even while you're casting a spell or a skill.

Seeing Jackson take out a rather shiny yet similar orb with what Merak uses took everyone by surprise.

"Hey hey, is it just me or the orb that that guy uses a citrine orb to craft his staff but has a much more powerful intimidating aura than the Bugriel's Staff which Merak uses?"

"I know right? Citrine staffs are just counterfeits of the Bugriel's staff which is much more powerful in comparison, and we're talking about Merak's Bugriel staff which is also enhanced than a normal Bugriel's Staff."

"Hmmph, what if you have a powerful citrine staff. It's still worse than what my staff gives me and equipments are not just the deciding factor into a fight, skill has a huge help on them."

'Huh? Is this guy dumb? If I equip my strongest wizard satff and use even the most common skill magic arrow he'll be done with one hit. I know having good skills also comes into play but if you don't have proper equipment and you're up against a powerful foe you'll be dead in a blink of an eye.'

"So much talk, can't we just start already? I still have so much more to do today."

'Well, I still need to try and explore the desert if the edge of the map still exists, or maybe I'll just ask Yuan later, I completely forgot about it and just remembered just now.'

"Hoh, Then don't blame me for being impolite"

Merak said as he activated his battle mode [Dual Caster].

'Woah, isn't using a battle mode a sign of disrespect for your opponent in a pvp battle?'

While trying to analyze why merak used his [Dual Caster], merak casted two magic at the same time, [Fire Cannon] and [Lightning Cannon] which is the strongest Magic skill that any character can cast as long as they have a high magic rank.

Maybe due to the high stats of Jackson it felt to him that time was being slowed down while he was focusing on the battle.

'Wait, if this skill is a projectile. Can't I just evade them? But what if it's like a heat-seeking missile which won't miss like in the game? Well since this is no longer the game that I knew, there's only one way to find out.'

Merak didn't had the reaction time to escape the huge fire ball which was raging as it tries to swallow everything it it's path since he was still not done processing why is it that he wasn't able to hit his enemy while using his [Dual Caster] and also two of his most powerful spells which was as fast as the wind. Thanks to his [Dual Caster] and [Fire Aura] being activated at the same time, he was able to escape instant death and was barely breathing.

Everyone including Yuan had their jaws dropped and they saw the otherworldly power which the new mage in town displayed, they didn't expect that the renowned most powerful mage they know would be defeated instantly with a single yet powerful magic skill they haven't seen before.

"Oy oy, isn't that a bit powerful? Is it just me or did he cast a bigger version of the [Fire Cannon]?"

"It's just you, did you saw how destructive that attack is? How can you even compare it to a mere [Fire Cannon]."

"Yes, it looked like a much more powerful version or the [Fire Cannon], do you think he'll accept us if we ask to be his apprentice?"

"Stop dreaming dude, If you're as powerful as that guy, would you recruit a nameless and middle age man as your apprentice?"

"I get what you mean but this is something that is very hard to pass by every day."

"Sigh, such is the way of the strong, our world is only has one rule and it's that the Strong preys on the Weak."

A lot of commotion was happening while the underlings of Merak came to their boss and made him drink lots of hp potions.

"Get your boss out of here and don't let me see you again or you'll suffer the same faith as him, or worse."

Merak's subordinates carried him away as fast as possible to avoid the off chance that the powerful mage in front of them changes his mind.

Jackson saw them leave and the crowd also settled down and went on with their business, but the everyone who witnessed the duel can't hide the excitement in their eyes as they try to recall the battle earlier, such a thing is not a common occurrence in the town, as they only have a handful of mages and most of the people living here are all bladers especially if the mages that had a duel was the as strong as the one they witnessed earlier.

After a few days the news about what happened that day still didn't settle down, it spread far and wide in the town and some merchants also spread the news to neighbouring towns and villages they come across to.

Inside an inn that Yuan was staying at Jackson was lying in the bed while Yuan was beside the bed sitting in a chair while staring daggers at him.

"Please, you've been like this since the fight with Merak, what is it that you want to ask me Yuan?"

"Master please satisfy my undying curiosity and tell me why is it that, you as a formidable swordsman can use a strong magic skill at the same time?"

'What should I do? Do I confess or come up with an excuse?'
