Scout awoke in a very busy street were vendors were buying and selling, players looking for other members, everything was just in total chaos Scout thought. He still did not know where he was, so he approached a guard and ask him where he was.
"Excuse me, can I bother to ask you what city or town this is?"
"Ah, you must be one of those adventurers that start out in this town, this is Jagsen town, if you want to go to the capital, its to the east of here, about a weeks trip. Its where most adventurers like you go anyways."
"I see, thank you very much, and is there by any chance an adventurers guild here?"
"Ah yeah, no problem kid, and no, we don't have the adventurers guild here, only cities and a couple of towns have those."
"Thank you for the information" Scout then left the guard alone. He then went back to the marketplace, not many people here were high levels Scout guessed that since this place was a starting town the level range would be from 5-50. Scout then started walking back to the marketplace where he first spawned. He sat near the fountain and started making level one potions, as he made them, he sold them."
"Selling level 1 potions, come and get them, they aren't much, but they are cheaper than the store, only 40 copper each." Scout shouted as one by one his potions were then sold out. He sold 250 level 1 potions and that in total is 1 gold, his profit would be 75 silver in total.
His pharmacist level percent went up by 25%, this means that he still had to make 750 level 1 potions in order for it to reach level 2.
After selling his potions, Scout stood up and went to find a quest board, after a few minutes of walking, he saw one, he then accepted a quest to kill 50 black wolves that were terrorizing the area. Before Scout left, he checked his inventory to see if he needed supplies like food and water, but something surprised him. He was given some basic leather armors.
(Note. Everyone gets basic armor after they get a class, Thiefs/Rouges and archers get leather armor. Warriors get heavy armor and healers and mages get cloth armor)
He inspected the equipment that he got.

(Note, The item tiers follow the adventurers color tier; White, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, Black)
Scout was happy that he can finally throw away his old beginner clothiers, he now had some proper equipment that gave him a total of 14 defense. He then went to the general goods store where he bought some bread and some butter and jelly.
After checking his equipment, he checked if he got any new skills, he only got 3 skills, however two were unique while the other was basic.
Stealth(Active):Go into stealth making it harder for you to be noticed, increases movement speed while stealth. Stealth will only be broken if the user wishes to do so, or if the user deals damage or uses an item. The higher the level, the faster you can move.
Stealth: Beginner level 1 (0%)
Mana Cost:100
Cooldown: 2 minutes
This skill is pretty basic given to all of the classes that are related to theifs/rouges
Nimble Body(Passive): Slightly increases movement speed and dodge rate. The higher the level goes, the more movement speed you gain and the higher the dodge rate.
Nimble Body: Beginner level 1 (0%)
Shadow Step (Active):Instantly able to teleport to a target area, up to a maximum of 10 yards. The higher the level goes, the further distance you can travel. This class is unique to the Eliminator
Shadow Step: Beginner level 1 (0%)
Mana Cost: 50
Cooldown: 10 seconds
Usually people get 4 or 5 skills, but nonetheless, Scout was happy, with this he can use his stealth, backstab a target and just shadow step away. Or he can go into stealth and shadow step towards an enemy, since technically Shadow step doesn't have any damage, stealth won't be canceled.
Scout was now ready to depart for his quest. He saw that there were many players like him, beginners that were teaming up to kill some brown wolves, he inspected the brown wolves and saw that they were level 15. He cannot see the players names or levels however because the game had set it up that way. As Scout was about to head deeper into the forest to find the black wolves he was approached by a more than average looking guy with fire red hair and asked him
"Hey what level are you?"
Scout did not really mind telling people his level so he just nonchalantly replied "Level 13"
"That pretty nice, you want to join our party and grind these brown wolves? We will split the loots equally" the guy said with an evil grin.
Stolen novel; please report.
"Im sorry but my business is not with these brown wolves, my business is with the black ones." Scout just said calmly as he started to venture deeper into the forest.
"You must be crazy, those dark wolves are level 20, even a party of 5 have trouble with them."
". . ." Scout just ignored him and started walking away.
"Don't mind him boss, he will die once he gets inside there and he will come running back to join us" One of the guy said.
Scout went into stealth before heading inside the forest, this way he won't get attacked by any wolves, however if he is not careful, he might alert the wolves and make them go on a defensive mode. After venturing deeper into the forest, Scout finally saw one black wolf, and it was alone. As he went closer, it seemed that the wolf also got bigger, the black wolves were now almost the size of a fully grown tiger. Scout did not care about the size, all he cared about was finishing his quest.
Scout was now close enough to strike the wolf, but he wanted to utilize his backstab skill, so he slowly went around it. He then stabbed the wolf in the neck. The wolf howled in pain, but it did not die. It then finally saw Scout and started growling at him. The wolf then suddenly pounced at Scout taking away 37 damage.
'OMG, I need to dodge those attacks or else ill die in 8 more hits' Scout panicked a little when suddenly the wolf jumped at him again opening its mouth with the intention to bite him, but this time Scout successfully dodged the attack. Scout then decided to take this chance to strike the wolf from behind since it jumped past him. The wolf once again howled in pain but it was still alive.
The wolf turned around and starting hacking Scout with its claws, the wolf knew that if it does another jump attack he would get hit by Scout. No matter how many times the wolf tried to slash Scout, Scout would barely dodge the attacks, he still received some damage, but not a considerable amount. For every 5 attacks that Scout dodges, he strikes one back, he can only do one because it takes a good amount of concentration to dodge attacks.
Scout's health was now barely over half, so he needed to end it soon. He decided to shadow step to the farthest tree branch that he could reach. The wolf was confused, it did not know where Scout went, It tried to find Scouts scent but couldn't find it, after 10 seconds the wolf relaxed, upon seeing this, Scout took this chance and shadow stepped behind the wolf and dealt another backstab to its neck, with this the wolf finally died. Scouts exp bar went up by a quarter, so this means he needed 3 more wolves to level up. The only loot that the wolf dropped was its hide. Scout picked it up and decided to rest to recover his HP and mana.
'That was harder than I thought it would be, it even drained my satiety bar' Scout thought while resting up on a tree branch.He then ate bread with butter and jelly, this helped him recover his health and stamina faster. Scout was about to hunt for the next wolf, he still had 49 to go, but he saw some level 1 herbs that he needed. So he jumped down and collected the herbs. He gathered 100 herbs. '650 more of these and ill be a level 2 pharmacist' level 1 pharmacists can only make level 1 potions that only recover 50 HP, but level 2 potions can recover 100 hp which is a huge difference.
Scout then started to head off to hunt for more wolves. After a few minutes of wandering he saw another lone wolf. He then decided to just shadow step behind the wolf's back and stabbed it in the neck. The same thing happened with the first wolf, but now Scout was barely getting hit, this time Scout did not need to retreat, so he just had a duel with the wolf for 30 seconds and it died on the spot. The wolf again dropped its hide. After killing the wolf, Scout once again saw more herbs, but this time only 50 herbs.
Scout rested and started to wander off to hunt for more wolves. He now encountered 2 wolves. Scout decided to try it out. Since the wolves were side by side, he easily shadow stepped behind them and with each dagger, he stabbed them in the neck. The wolves were startled for a second but then started to attack together. Scout was now able to dodge one wolfs attack completely, but having 2 wolves attack was a different thing, he can barely dodge them both and he still received damage.
'I Shouldn't have sold all those stupid potions, DAMNIT!' Scout thought while in a panic, his health was almost reaching the half mark.
'Its sink or swim, ill stop all attempts at dodging and start attacking one wolf.' Scout suddenly stopped dodging the attacks and started to hack, stab and slash at one wolf, the wolf then died after about 6 or 7 normal attacks from scout which was a span of 3 seconds. His health dropped below 3/4 now, he was in a critical condition, 2 more hits and ill be dead. But lucky for Scout, the wolf, instead of clawing Scout, it tried for a jump bite attack, which Scout easily dodged and once the wolf was peat him, he stabbed it in the back once, and stabbed it normally from the front, which killed the wolf instantly. A golden light fell upon Scout and he had leveled up to 14.

____________________________
Note: I decided to chance a tiny thing from the stat table, Strength now adds one attack damage per point, Intelligence now adds one magic attack damage per point. I have also simplified things, because i think its better for me and less complicated, I simplified the attack damage and defense, its now 1 single number instead of the 1-1 thing.
Thanks for reading, and sorry for a late post, school and work, but its the weekend, so i might be able to post 1 chapter today or tomorrow if nothing comes up.
Have a good weekend guys :D
