When I saw him awkwardly waving at me, I could not help but be flustered,
What is he doing? waving at me? eh?
Perhaps remembering something, his eyes suddenly contracted before he calmly took his hand down and went on his way as if nothing happened.

My best friend... this time I can help you.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
After a few minutes passed did I finally collect myself, and after carefully glancing at my surroundings did I slowly descend from the tree.
When I finally was on the floor, I realized that the man from before forgot to collect the loot from the goblins and knowing that he will not come back, I promptly decided to take the loot for myself
I looked around the corpses and only saw rusty swords or daggers that had something viscous smeared on them.
Knowing full well what that viscous thing was, I just left those weapons there in disgust and turned to check if those goblins had something else on them.
After a few seconds of searching, I saw a few bottles of two different colors that were a few steps from what seemed to be the leader of this group of goblins.
I quickly took those bottles and heard a notification:
You have obtained 3 bottles of health potion and 2 bottles of mana potions.
Without thinking twice I put it on my leather bag and when I was about to search for more loot I heard a growl behind me, turning around I was faced with a wolf
As soon as I saw the wolf I could not help but curse my 'extraordinary' luck, first it was a pack of goblins and now it's a wolf?!?
Whatever, when I was about to run as fast as I could, a thought came to me, 'This is only one wolf, so I should be able to beat it, right?'
As soon as I thought that, I heard the wolf running towards me and turning to look at the wolf I knew that it would not let me escape no matter what, 'Well...''
When the wolf was dashing at me I quickly side-stepped causing the wolf to nearly trip on the corpse of the goblin leader.
I hurriedly took a few steps back in order to make distance and quickly appraised the wolf,
Lone wolf ( Level 4 ) / ( Normal )
Hp: 99/100 Mp: 145/150
Fortunately, it's a normal wolf, if not, I don't believe I could beat it.
When I was about to unsheathe the sword, I realized that the wolf was once again dashing towards me and without taking the sword I side-stepped again, but this time the wolf did not go past me, instead, it suddenly stopped midways and turned towards me in order to bite me causing me to reflexively unsheathe the sword and quickly slashing at the wolf
-17
After hearing that notification, I realized that my sword struck the wolf, but it quickly retreated only to have it brush against the wolf.
Shocked at the damage I managed to make with only brushing the wolf with my sword, I quickly grew confident and charged at the wolf
The wolf not expecting me to charge at him made a lough roar when it saw me slashing at me with the sword, the wolf intended to dodge my sword but it was already too late as the sword already reached at its neck
CRT: -151 !
You have defeated an enemy 3 levels higher than you! Exp. 3% higher.
Gained 52EXP
Level up!
After hearing that notification I realized that the wolf quickly fell to the ground without making any noise and only after a few seconds did I finally came out from my shocked stat because, more than 100 damage! who would be able to make that much damage at this stage of the game?
I quickly shook my head in order to get rid of those thoughts and turned to take all the loot from the wolf and only found:
1x Wolf's fang
1x Wolf's hide
10x Wolf's fur
1x Token
And only that... I really want to curse my luck...
Without thinking about that I quickly turned to look at my stats:

Free stats points: 0.1
I calmly allocated the stat point to strength and closed the status in order to leave this forest when I quickly realized that the surroundings are as described in the paper that the blacksmith gave me, the paper that he gave only contained a few sentences that It did not make any sense at first but when I saw the forest I quickly realized that it was just as the paper said:
''The mahogany-brown forest was the woody heaven.
The ancient trees stretched away from the crinkly floor.
Trees are the caretakers of the wood.
Scampering hares searched for food under bristles of wispy moss.
The stars were like lucid snowflakes of silver as they sprinkled the night sky.
Berries lay ripening under the leafy dome of the forest.''
And until then did I realize that the bright sky was slowly turning into night.
When the night finally appeared I saw that the stars were as beautiful as the note said. And only a few steps away was the wolf's body, the previously normal body was slowly transforming into something else.
Its previous brown fur turned into a silvery and long fur, its normal body grew 2 times as it was before making it look as strong, if not, stronger than a bear, nonetheless, it's still death.
At some point, I did not realize that the bodies of the goblins have long disappeared and only when I only saw the wolf's body did I realize it.
Not taking it as something serious because the bodies of the monsters disappear a few minutes after their death I was only concerned with the body of the wolf and I just stood there dumbfounded.
A few minutes later I curiously looked at the wolf and decided to look at its stats to see if something changed, and what I saw absolutely shocked me:
Guardian of the moon ( Level 30 ) Epic
HP: 0/30,000 Mp: 0/50,000
A race born from the power of the moon in order to protect powerful items that are only for the strong. When its day, they lose most of their power and when it's night, they have their deserved power.
After seeing the description of the wolf I could not help but be even more shocked and when I saw the body of the wolf turning into many particles of light slowly descending at a particular flower which quickly turned into a silvery flower just like a tulip did I finally came to myself.
When I saw that silver tulip, I could not help but be excited because this was the herb needed to complete the quest!
When I was a few besides the tulip and grabbed it from the ground, I remembered about the loot from the wolf and after putting the tulip in my inventory did I took them to appraise them and was once again shocked and excited at the same time:
1xGuardian of the moon's fang: 40cm fang gained from the body of a powerful beast. It changes properties depending on day and night.
1xGuardian of the moon's hide: A hide gained from the body of a powerful beast. It changes properties depending on day and night.
10xGuardian of the moon's silver fur: Fur gained from the body of a powerful beast. It changes properties depending on day and night.
1xToken: A token given to those with great fate.
I quickly put that in my inventory and once again turned to look at my surroundings in order to find a way to leave this forest to turn the herb and complete the quest.
After a short time, I realized that I was totally lost but at the corner of my eyes I saw a way completely destroyed as if many people made a way without caring about any plants then did I remember that those goblins were making a wreck with everything they saw when they were chasing me.
Thanking those goblins in my mind I quickly went there and without admiring the forest I quickly left the forest but I realized that as I left the forest the night was quickly turning to day once again.
Without caring about this mysterious phenomenon I quickly went in my way towards the blacksmith but what I did not realize was one pair of cold eyes that followed every movement I did.
