Knox decided to take on a quest to escort a caravan of goods to a nearby town. The caravan was carrying valuable supplies, including food, medicine, and weapons, which were essential for the survival of the town's inhabitants. The journey was not without its dangers, as the road was infested with bandits and wild animals. Knox would have to navigate through treacherous terrain, watch for potential threats, and ensure the safe delivery of the goods to their destination. Although the quest was relatively easy, Knox knew that even the slightest mistake could have disastrous consequences. He was determined to complete the task precisely and efficiently and prove himself as a competent adventurer.
As Knox set out on his journey, he braced himself for the dangers ahead. The road was rocky and uneven, with cliffs and dense forests on either side. He had to be careful not to lose his footing or let his guard down, as any misstep could lead to disaster. The caravan he escorted consisted of several wagons, each heavily laden with supplies. Knox rode at the front, scanning the terrain for signs of danger.
Knox and his companions encountered many obstacles as they made their way through the wilderness. They had to cross rivers, climb steep hills, and navigate through narrow gorges. At times, they had to stop and clear the path of fallen trees or boulders blocking the way.
But the greatest danger they faced was from the bandits and wild monsters that roamed the area. Several times, they were ambushed by groups of thieves who tried to steal the goods. But Knox and his companions were skilled fighters and fended off the attackers without suffering losses. Knox and his team steadily progressed toward their destination despite their many challenges. Finally, after several days of grueling travel, they arrived at the town. The grateful inhabitants welcomed them with open arms, and Knox felt a sense of pride and satisfaction knowing that he had helped to save their lives.
In the end, Knox had completed the quest with precision and efficiency, just as he had hoped. He had proven himself to be a competent adventurer. Deciding to stay in the town for a few days since the journey back would take a while, he found a place to stay and received his reward from the local guild. The reward was 20 gold.
The quest made Knox realize he wasn’t strong enough to do quests alone. He knew he had to get at least a small party of three members. He quickly found suitable people to team up with at the inn: a girl named Mellisa, who was level 5 overall, and a warrior called Enzo, who was level 6 overall. They were both higher levels than him, so he knew he would need to take the backseat and let them do most of the decision-making.
“So Knox, was it?” Knox nodded. “When do you plan to set out on another quest?” Mellisa asked.
“Well, it doesn’t matter to me. I'll go whenever you guys want to take on another quest.”
“Alright, how about we go on another one right now? I already have a quest in mind.”
“And what would that be?”
“A Dungeon quest! It’ll be awesome.” Mellisa said enthusiastically
“Aren’t those too dangerous for people like us?”

“Pft… We should be fine as long as we’re careful!”
“Okay, then, when do we leave?”
“I’ll go get the quest right now.”
Mellisa went off to the clerk and got the quest license, after which they set off toward the dungeon's location. Knox, Mellisa, and Enzo arrived at the dungeon's entrance, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension. The dungeon was a dark, foreboding place, with a cold and eerie atmosphere that sent shivers down their spines.
Mellisa took the lead, her torch lighting the way as they descended the stairs into the dungeon's depths. The air grew musty and damp, and the only sounds were the echoes of their footsteps.
They soon came across their first challenge - a group of goblins guarding a narrow passageway. Enzo charged forward, his fist flashing in the dim light, while Mellisa provided support from the back, casting spells to weaken and confuse the enemies. Knox stayed in the middle, ready to assist wherever needed.
The battle was intense, but they emerged victorious, and their teamwork proved effective. They continued deeper into the dungeon, encountering more monsters and traps along the way.
As they progressed, they faced more formidable opponents—trolls and orcs. But they remained undaunted, relying on their skills and each other to overcome the obstacles.
Finally, after hours of fighting and exploring, they reached the heart of the dungeon - a large chamber filled with treasure and guarded by a giant spider. It was a daunting challenge, but they were determined to succeed.
Enzo and Knox charged forward, drawing the spider’s attention while Mellisa weakened it with spells. The battle was long and grueling, but they finally emerged victorious, their teamwork and determination paying off.

During the fight, Knox felt like he was getting tired pretty quickly, which led to him not having enough strength to keep up with Enzo’s speed, so he decided to invest in those two stats.

The party felt satisfied after looking through the treasure and finding two platinum worth of stuff to sell for each member. They excitedly talked about the whole ordeal as they returned to the guild to sell all their stuff and collect rewards.
