Scout and his group got back to the HQ, and once they got there, they all went their separate ways. Some went to the guild hall to grab more quests, some went to go on an adventure. Scout logged off and went to bed.

As soon as Ray woke up, he ate breakfast and took an hour jog. He did his normal routine before logging back on.

Scout was now ready for a new journey, he went to the guild hall to look for more quests but there weren't that many today. He decided to go back to the starting village and look to see if there were any other quests available.

Scouts journey wasn't very tough, as he was traveling by the deep forest, all the wolves avoided him, but he won't avoid them. Once he saw a wolf, he instantly shadow stepped towards them and instantly killed them. After about 30 minutes of walking Scout finally arrived back at the beginners village. He then went up to the quest board and looked for some quests that he could do. Finally, after a minute of looking, he found the perfect one.

Bounty

Eliminate the bandits that have been stealing from caravans and local merchants. They are located inside the forest.

Rewards:10 silver per bandit and 2 gold for their boss. Bring the bracelet that they wear as evidence.

After reading this, Scout rushed towards the forest, he was scouring the entire forest until it was dark. He finally gave up.  He laid down on the floor and closed his eyes for a couple of seconds, when he opened them, he saw something interesting. There were small huts built on the trees, they were carefully covered with leaves and branches making it hard for people to see them unless if they look really hard.

'It was weird why I could not find them, they must be up on those huts' Scout thought while climbing a tree towards the top.

When he got to the platform, Scout noticed that the establishment was bigger than he thought, there were at least 20 huts throughout the entire forest. There were also a couple of guards stationed at some of the huts. Scout slowly approached one of the guards. Scout placed his hand on the guards mouth to prevent the guard from screaming and he stabbed the guard right in the neck, it instantly killed the guard. Scout grabbed the bracelet of the guards hand and dropped the dead body towards the ground.

Scout then entered the first hut, he saw more bandits, but they were sleeping. This was the perfect opportunity to kill them all, they would not put up any resistance. Scout slowly approached one of the sleeping bandits and stabbed him right in the heart. He grabbed another bracelet and proceeded to go towards 2 more bandits sleeping side by side. Both of the bandits each received a dagger in their hearts.

Since the bandits were at level 30, Scout got some good exp and gained a level before moving on to the next hut. The next hut that Scout visited was fairly easy, there were no guards, so he easily entered the hut and killed the bandits sleeping inside. Scout easily managed to kill the bandits with ease because they did not put up any resistance. He gained 3 more levels. He cleared the entire establishment except for 2 huts. One of which housed the bandit leader, and one housed a couple more bandits.

Scout first approached the one with the remaining bandits. He entered the hut and only saw 2 sleeping bandits. Scout approached one of them and stabbed the bandit in the heart, but Scout got careless, the bandit managed to let out a small noise that woke up the other sleeping bandit.

"Who are you?!" The bandit exclaimed

Scout shadow stepped towards the bandit and whispered in his ear.

"Sleep tight." Scout then stabbed him in the heart which killed the bandit instantly.

"One more bandit to go" Scout said with a big smile on his face.

Scout approached the last hut, and slowly approached the bandit leader that was sleeping, but suddenly the bandit leader woke up, Scout was caught off guard, he wasn't in stealth, and it was too late to stealth, the bandit leader already saw him.

"Who are you?! You are not one of my men." The leader exclaimed.

"Me? Im here for your bounty"

"Foolish young boy, do you really think that you could kill me?! Guards! Come here and kill this man! Hahahahaha just you wait till my men get here and you are dead."

"Well I won't give them the chance!" Scout shouted and he shadow stepped in front of the bandit leader since the bandit leaders back was up against the wall.

"WHAT THE F-" As Scout was about to stab the bandit leader, the bandit leader reacted fast enough and blocked the blow with his sword.

Scout did not let up, he kept slashing and stabbing but the bandit leader would block it, but he could not block all of them.

"WHAt ARE MY MEN DOING?!" The bandit leader was in a state of panic, his HP was rapidly going down. The bandit leader pushed Scout making him stumble on the ground. The bandit leader then sprinted towards his door and started shouting.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

"HELP ME! IM IN DANGER!"

Scout shadow stepped towards the back of the leader and whispered in his ear

"No one is coming to help you, they are all dead, and you are going with them"

With a swing from Scout's dagger, the bandit leaders head flew right off.

Scout got another level. He also picked up a ring that the bandit leader dropped, and it was a good one too.

Bandit Leader's RingGreen TierAttributesStrength +5, Agility +5Level Requirement25A ring once worn by a low level bandit leader

(In Square One you can wear 2 rings on each hand.)

Scout was satisfied with his work, not only did he level up to level 28, he also gathered a decent amount of loot that he could sell at a shop. He also got a green tiered ring. He gathered 50 bandit bracelets, and 1 bandit leader bracelet. Overall, he had gotten quite the profit. And all of this with no trouble at all.

Scout was back in the town, he went to the local shop and sold all of his loot. He got 73 silver from all of the loot that he sold. He then walked towards the town hall where all of the bounties are turned in. Scout got to the town hall, it was a small building, well kept. Scout walked in and approached one of the windows where players can turn in their bounties.

"Excuse me, I'm here to turn in a bounty"

"Ah yes, which bounty would you like to turn in?"

"The bandit one, over by the forest"

"Ah good, those bandits have been pestering us for a while now, so how many did you get? 3? 4? maybe even 5?"

"Uhm.... I think I got all of them, also got the leader too."

"Hahahaha don't be joking young man, so how many did you get?" The teller asked while laughing.

' . . . ' Scout just handed over the 50 bracelets and 1 more bracelet for the bandit leader.

*gasp* "bu-but, th-thats" The teller was shocked and couldn't say anything

"Can I have my money now please? 10 silver per bandit and 2 gold for the leader." Scout said while reaching his and asking for the money.

"Ah, I'm sorry, lets see, thats 1 gold, 2 gold, 3 gold, 4 gold, 5 gold and 2 more for the bandit leader, heres your 7 gold" The teller then gave Scout his money and Scout left the area. Scout had nothing to do so he figured that he would go back to the HQ.

As Scout left the gate, He noticed that there was 2 people following him, and following him with ill intentions. Scout let them follow him deeper inside the forest where not many people would notice him.

As Scout was deep enough in the forest the 2 people tailing him approached him and said.

"Hey there buddy, why don't you give us that huge amount of money you got from the teller?"

' . . . ' Scout just ignored them

"Theres 2 of us, and we are deep in the forest, no one will help you, so hand it over and we won't kill you."

"We will see about that" Scout said with a sigh.

"Why you little shi-" His words were cut off because before he could finish talking, Scouts dagger was already buried deep behind his back.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" The last guy standing exclaimed

Scout then went into stealth

"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" The guy started panicking, but Scout was fast, and even more faster when in stealth. The guy wanted to run, but it was too late, before he could even take his first step, Scout was already behind him, and 2 stabs to the back and he was dead.

As Scout left the forest and headed towards the HQ, the sun was setting.

"A perfect view ending a perfect day" Scout conveyed with a smile.
