Finally after so long I ran into some player hunting.
They seem to be hunting a type of boar. It's pretty large for a boar though its Hide looks very tuff and has two large tusks. I don't want to get into the middle of their hunt so all just watched from a distance.
Their formation seemed to be the norm, a fighter attack while the tank takes hits and a mage dealing extra damage in the back. After a while they took down the boar and took the drops.
Man i really got sidetracked i better message Adam and tell him in in town.
~Adam~
S- Hey i made it into town
S- Where are we meeting up?
A- Just wait outside the gate all be there soon.
S- Alright see ya soon.
After getting to town it looks a lot larger up close the guards seem to be elves and there carrying some really nice spears. There armor seems to be a high quality silver. I wonder if they have a forge here so maybe i can practice my [Forging]
I waited for about ten mins and around eight parts of four came through the gates. It feels good to be around other players but I'm not used to so many people yet.
“You always pick the same aperace don't ya shin.”
Turning around I was greeted by Adam. He stood about 5’6 with blond hair that seemed to be hiding his pointed ears. His eyes just barely poking out under his blond hair. He stood tall with a cane in one hand and he reached the other out.
Taking the hand his hand we do a small hug.
“It's good to see you again Adam.”
“Right back at you. So what do you think?”
Running his empty hand in a asking manner over his outfit.
“You always did love elves haha. But I like it, it suits you.”
“And what about you went with your normal look ya?”
“Well you know I don't like character designing there too many choices.”
“Well what did you choose for your skills i can see you pick up [Swordsmanship] by the sword on your hip what about the others let me guess should be something like [Cooking] or [Herbalist]. Wait I wonder if you have unique magic."
“Why do you think that?”
“Well your human and you can only spawn with certain skills but you learn them from the other races it is the same with everyone else like humans are good with [Swordsmanship] or [Body strengthening magic] while elves are proficient with [Element magic] and [Taming]. But there are exceptions like if you learn the skill from books. There are more ways but they require more work. So not many people do them. Ah There are also are some skills that people say are useless though like [Taming] ”
Wait being able to choose whatever isn't normal i thought it was a little bit weird that i could pick any skill.
It must have something to do with spawning in the wasteland.
It's fine to tell Adam what skills I have right? He won't say anything.
“Is there a way i can show you my status or you can see it?”
“Well sense we're friends if you give me permission i can see your window when you open it but other then that there are special items to see a person [Status].”
After he turned around his status window I could see what he meant his skills were definitely of the elven race. Every skill seemed to fit him pretty well no wonder he chose an elf. Well i guess it won't hurt to show him mine but i better warn him first.
“All show you my screen but you have to promise not to say anything got it?”
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.
“It's just your status, it's not like it's anything special.”
Putting his hand on my shoulder
“But i wont say a word if anyone asks.”

“Holly shit how the hell did you get all those!”
“I told you to keep quiet i don't really understand but i think it has something to do with spawning in the wasteland.”
“Man you really did spawn in the wasteland you have the new title [Survivor of ruin]. Damn I didnt know the wasteland perks can be so good. But what's the other title mean?”
“Huh that wasn't there before…”
----------------------------------------
~Jack of all trades~
“A jack of all trades is a master of none but
sometimes better than a master of one.”
-The ability to learn other races skills but only when hard work is put in to learn said skill.-
----------------------------------------
“Damn this skill title really suits you haha.”
“What's that supposed to mean”
Punching him in the arm and closing my status window
“Hey come on it was a joke. Well i won't say anything but people will find out sooner or later.”
“All just keep it a secret for now. Well how about showing me around town?”
“Right this way jack.”
He said with a giggle as he walks into the towns gates
“Oh shut up.”
Following him into the gates staying a few feet behind him not to lose him in the large crowd of people.
…
..
.
“ And there's the end of the tour. Just in case you forget where everything is there is a map in town square if you just walk north from the city gates you'll run right into it.”
As he pointed his cane north from the gates.
“Thanks for your help Adam”
“Anytime. We should really go hunting together sometime. i wanna see your play style it seems interesting.”
“Next time you go hunting, message me. I'm always up for it.”
“Alrighty. I'm off for the Day. Oh yea you hear there closing down the server for a few hours tonight to adjust a few bugs and add a few things? They posted it just before i logged in so i thought you might not know.”
“Oh really, do we know what Its about?”
“Yea they said something about it on the forms. After I log out all send you the post.”
“Alright well see ya later and thanks again.”
Soon after he said goodbye he logged out. I've never seen anyone logout tell that their body just pops away. It's so weird it's like they were never there in the first place.
*Ping
~Your friend [Adam] has disconnected~
Before the server goes down I better get some stuff done. Where was the Adventures guild again? Welp, I better go look at that map in the center of town. The whole town is filled with player made stalls. I wonder if there's anything interesting for sale.
Making my way to the map of town there were alot of players and npc walking around. I really don't like working with other people so i dont wanna join anyones party for now.
After making my way through the crowds of people I finally made it to the map. Seems like the guilds down the street.
Huh i saw a few shops that aren't on the map i guess not everything is shown. I better take a screenshot of the map i dont wanna walk through that crowd more than i need too.
After getting lost a few times I finally made it to the guild. Looking around this place really doesn't have too many people, most the players must be out on a quest or something.
After talking to the receptionist my guild card from the wasteland seems to work here so that's good. But they're definitely not as friendly as Lucy but what can you do. Looking at the quests that are available.
[Hunt 10 large boars], [Collect 20 lotus medical grass] or [delivery request to bring potions to the church]. My level seems too low to do anything else all take the collection quest for now. after taking the old piece of paper from the guild board and reading its contents.
-Collect 10 lotus grass from the nearby forest.
Description: The flower grows in dark places underwater in the dark forest close to town.
looks like a black lotus with a bright red stem.
Reward: 2 gold coins.
Unlimited time.
It's just collecting plants. Why is the reward so good? Huh well no point in questioning it now.
Leaving the town took just as long the streets are so crowded I wonder how anyone gets things done here.
After finally leaving the town I headed off the towards the forest hopefully I don't run into anything to weird.
