Chapter 5 - Tough Day

-Item Gained: (Low Quality) Rabbit Fur x1

-Item Gained: (Low Quality) Rabbit’s Horn x1

*Phew* “That’s the last one”

Ever since Kai killed his first horned rabbit, the next couple of fights were much easier for him. Using the same tactics such as fighting a horned rabbit that was alone and quickly striking then getting close, he quickly got the hang of it. But it still took him awhile since he was always close to dying after getting hit in each fight so he had to find a safe spot to recover HP.

Tired like an old horse after a hard day’s work Kai fell down to rest after killing the last horned rabbit he needed for the quest.

“Inventory!”

(Low Quality) Rabbit’s fur x10

(Low Quality) Rabbit’s horn x6

“I wonder what these horns are for”

After killing a couple horned rabbit’s Kai discovered that some horned rabbit’s had an action command above SKIN called HARVEST from selecting harvest he can actually take the rabbit’s horn out by simply cutting the horn out of the flesh with directions from game’s guide system.

“Level 3! Not bad, not bad” Kai couldn’t help but smile from seeing his level

“I wonder what attribute points should I choose mhmm, I’m not sure if I’ll make the right choice I’ll just save it for later when I get more information”

After checking his stats Kai stood up, dusted his clothes and headed back to the starter village.

“Well I’m done here, time to head back! I hope I get an awesome reward!”

“Ha Ha what a freak!…”

“Scary…”

“Eww how gross, look at his hair!”

“Wait isn’t that the guy who got killed by a horned rabbit! Ha Ha looks like he finally killed one!”

‘What are people laughing about…’ Kai said to himself after hearing ridicule and laughter once again

As soon as Kai entered the village people around him started to laugh when seeing his appearance. Kai’s appearance is an absolute mess; he is covered in grass, mixed with dirt and rabbit blood splattered on all over his body. His hair was even worse, upon entering the game he had the same hair style from real life so with blood and grass stuck to his hair he ended up looking like something out of a horror movie.

Coming closer to the elder village Kai decided check his reflection at the fountain to see what people were laughing about

“What the hell… Blood doesn’t disappear?” Kai was shocked after seeing his reflection

Kai didn’t realize that when he was fighting most of the time he was on the ground rolling around and he was right up close  when he attacked causing blood to splatter all over him, he also thought blood disappeared like how a dead rabbit disappeared but apparently that wasn’t the case.

*Sigh* Kai couldn’t help but sigh over the fact that he’s been the laughing stock all day, and it was just his first day playing.

Ignoring the laughter and mean comments Kai went to talk to the village elder to complete his quest

“Hello Village Elder”

“Heelo there young man…” Upon seeing Kai’s appearance the Village Elder was shocked but slowly remained cool

“I finished my quest…” Kai notices that the Village Elder was also shocked by his appearance  

“Oh thank you lad!”

Suddenly a small message screen appeared in front of Kai

System Announcement: You have completed (Quest) Slay Horned Rabbits!

-Gained XP 100

-Gained 20 copper

-Congratulations you have leveled up!

“What 20 copper…” Kai was in shocked after experiencing so much pain he only gained 20 measly copper

“Village Elder Arun, is 20 copper my reward…?”

“Yes 20 copper for your valiant help”

“…”

“But I’m afraid slaying 10 horned rabbits isn’t enough to keep our village safe, could you please find out the root of all this?”  

System  Announcement: (Quest) The Horned Rabbit Queen

Requirements: Slay Horned Rabbits x25

Slay Horned Rabbit Queen x1

Do you accept?

“Yes…”

*Splash* *Splash*

*Sigh* “20 copper… Horned Rabbit Queen… 20 copper…”

After Kai accepted the quest he quickly walked away tired of the laughing and ridicule and headed towards the lake behind the village to clean himself up

*Splash!* Kai dumped a whole bucket of water all over his head quickly washing away all the dirt and blood

“This game is really hard…” Kai said to himself sitting down on the ground finishing the clean up

“But I did enjoy fighting those Horned Rabbits” Kai couldn’t help but think back at the joy he felt when he killed his first horned rabbit

“Oh shit Mika!” Kai suddenly remembered he was only going to try the game for a few hours but he ended up spending half a day since right now in the game the sun is setting down

“log off!”

After logging off Kai took his helmet and found himself sitting on a couch with a blanket over him

‘This must be Mika’s doing’ Kai said to himself smiling  and feeling warm when he saw the blanket

*chirp* *chirp*

“Oh man its morning already…”

Kai stood up, then suddenly heard the birds chirping. Checking the window the sun was glowing bright showing the whole city it’s morning.

*Yawn*

“Morning Big Brother Kai”

Suddenly Mika appeared from the bed room wearing pink pajamas with little white clouds  and sat down on the coach facing Kai

“Morning Mika...”

“Did I wake you?”

“Yes but I already had enough rest”

*Phew* Kai couldn’t help but sigh in relief Mika usually hates getting woken up so early in the morning

“Sorry I’m late I didn’t know how fast the time past by”

“It’s okay you probably didn’t know that 3 hours in game is  1 hour, you’ve been gone for 5 hours”

“What Only 5 hours!” Kai couldn’t help but be surprised the time moved really fast in game when you’re fighting crazed rabbit

“Do you what to hear something more surprising!” Mika asked while smiling at Kai like she was hiding a dirty secret

“What?” Kai asked curiously

“The gaming helmet you found actually belongs to owner of the VRX car!”

“Really?”

“Yeah apparently after buying the gaming helmet he went to Yi Ji restaurant where you work at to eat”

“Ha ha” Kai couldn’t help but smile and thought back at how the young man treated Kai, all he could do was laugh at the fact that this gaming helmet belonged to him

“Wait...” Kai suddenly realized something

“Doesn’t that mean they can track this gaming helmet from his credit info!”
