Looking around the area there only seems to be trees and a few large rocks and it's too dark for me to go look around for some materials. I guess i'm going to have to camp here for the night. After a bit I Putting together a small fire pit at the cave entrance and pulling the two people by the fire.
They are not too badly injured. They seem to be unconscious at most Seems like it's from starving.
I can't really leave unconscious people alone can I. Well I might as well look at my skills pulling up my status screen there was a red notification in the top left corner.
*Ping
~The first 24 hours beginner monster repellent has expired~
Huh, No wonder i haven't seen any monsters even though the Wasteland is supposed to be crawling with monsters. Wait does that mean i'm going to be attacked. Frantily looking into the woods nothing seems to be off.
Man, I really wish I could pick up Enemy detection.
It would be so useful.
Sighing and looking up at the sky.
Looking around, The campfire only lights up maybe around 8 feet and i can't see very far into the woods i better stay on guard tonight.

Damn looks like my status still hasn't leveled up. Well i guess i should start dismantling some of the gear from the bandits.Looking in my inventory and taking apart the swords and clothes I gained about 4 iron and some large cloth.
I definitely thought i would get more iron. But that Devils key really took a lot of iron damn...
*Snap
“Who's out there, show yourself.”
The sound of the fire crackle and trees blowing in the wind was the only thing i could hear. I swar I heard something. It was took dark to see anything but I'm getting this bad feeling like I'm being watched.
Grabbing my sword and sitting back on the stump my eyes dotting everywhere looking for any hint of movemnt. cluching my sword harder in my hand.
...
..
.
Nothing happened that night besides a few sounds of branches breaking on the floor around the cave. I never did see what was making the sound though.

I better be on guard.
That night tried my best to ignore it and keep watch over the two unconscious people. When the sun finally rose the fire that was once large and feice now sits cold and barely alive.I was so engaged to looking around the woods for monsters i didn't figure out and idea for the wheels. looking through my inventory I came up with a pretty dumb idea but its the best iv got for now.
Grabbing the cloth from my inventory and tarring the cloth down to make small segments of cloth tying them all together. i made a pretty basic makeshift rope and tied it the the box putting both scouts in the box i started pulling this isn't very fast but its the best i can do for now.
This is gonna be a pain in the ass. Putting the rope over my sholder i started to pull the box.
Lucky I'm not too far away from town or else this would take forever...
I've been pulling for around an hour and the progress is very slow.
I'm only around halfway there but I'm already so tired. If we get attacked i don't know if i can hold up for very long. After a small brake i started my walking again. There are some perks to this though.

~Due to contunuse strain you have gained 2 [Strength]~
Lucky the forest isn't too dense and gets more spread out as i get closer to the village. Finally coming out from the forest I can see the town gates. The two guards stationed at the gates one seemed human while the other was something I haven't seen before. He had blue scales with a large tail curving from behind to the from of his legs. Its the first time iv seen a beast human besides Lucy...
He looks so cool! Looking at him again he stood a little bit higher then me.
After the guards noticing me pulling a box from the forest they came running over to help me bring two people into the town. after putting down the the rope my hands felt very heavy looking down there was large red burn marks on my hands. Now that i noticed them it kinda stings.
Man this game is super realistic.
~Reputation with the village of Crescent has risen by 100~
I've been here so long and i only just figured out the name of the village i really need to pay more attention. The guards quickly picked up both of the scouts and walked with them into the village. After entering the village the two people were brought to a small house in the far side of the village.
A very small old man opened the door. He was dressed in all white robes with a wooden cane and a cracked pair of glasses. After seeing the two people he hurried us inside. It was a store of some kind. It had pictures of plants on the walls with small containers next to them.
He must be some kind of doctor.
After looking at them for a bit he walked to the counter and pulled three plants from there jars and began mixing them in a small wooden bowl when he was done it was a silver paste that looked very unapitzing. Be proceeded to pour the paste into both their Mouths.
After he walked over to me and put his hand on my forehead and let out a click with his tongue looking at him with confusion he pulled a yellow bottle from his pocket and put it in my hand and closed it. No words were spoken but I could tell he was sincere.
Looking at the bottle it looked like it was filled with a slime like fluid. Kinda gross...
Pinching my nose I down the strange liquid. I could feel my Fatigue clearing. I felt bad for taking one of his concoctions so I gave him a silver coin but he handed it back to me and left to go check on the two of them in the back room.
I soon left the small house and went to the guild to check on lucy.
Opening the door to the guild I see Lucy sitting at one of the tables writing something. Sneaking up behind her i tap her on the shoulder.
“What is it now i'm trying to get something….”
Turning around she seemed to be surprised to see me a smile was brought to her face and she hugged my waist without warning.
“Um im sorry im just happy to see your back..” as she stands up blushing and looking away. her tail slowly wagging behind her.
Its so cute.
“It's alright, I'm happy to see you as well. I finished the request and took care of the bandits as well as bringing back the scouts.”
“ Wait really!”
Her tail began to move it was like she was cutting the air with a sword.
“Yep all taken care of they won't bother the village again.”
“Great! So how are the two scouts?”
“I brought them with the help of the guards to a house in the village and an old man is looking after them. I think they will recover just fine.”
“ Thats great. Well I guess we should grab you your reward.”
She walked behind the counter and pulled out two gold coins and a large book. Putting them on the table infont of me.
“Alright here you are two gold coins and a copy of the guilds spell book.”
“Perfect thank you Lucy”
“No thank you for helping the town get rid of them.”
Thinking about it the only reason I could stay outside the village was due the the monster repellent I guess I better find Lodging in town before I set off tomorrow.
“Hey Lucy is there a place you recommend to stay at for the night?”
“Well there is the inn across the street run by smith and his daughter.”
“Thanks a bunch Lucy.”
Finishing up my business at the guild I walked over the the inn looking at the sign the Crescent moon in huh interesting name. Opening the door I was greeted by a small little girl with blue eyes and blond hair. she wore her hair in two small brades going down to her sholders. she was standing behind a large wooden desk. The room smelled like freshly made soup.
It smelled pretty good.
“Hello mister what can i do for ya?”
“Hi my name is Shin. I'm looking for a place to stay.”
“Then you've come to the right place, let me go get my dad.”
As she said with a smile and vanishing through a curtain behind the desk.
