We were dropped of in front of a big forest, there was no animals at the entrance, Nort strolled inside, he clearly knew where he was going. I applied the poison I got from the non on the daggers, the poison was to increase my damage by making the wounds hurt more, like adding salt to a flesh wound. The inventory was really easy to use, just by thinking of it a hud appeared in front of me, where I could see all the stuff I have looted and received, as well as I could see my gear and stats, right now I got no stats, only a low armor value.
“Hey wait up!” I tried to follow Norts pace, because he was strolling so fast.
“Shhh!” Nort quickly crouched and gestured me to crouch and be quiet as well. He pointed towards some bunches as we slowly moved to it. There were 3 wolves I front of us. Should have know that wolfs walk in packs.
“How are you going to handle 3 enemies at the same time?” Nort make it seem like a test for me, I should not disappoint him.
“First I will go invisible and throw the bomb into the crowd, that will at least deal half their health, then I will ambush one wolf and fight the others of in melee combat, biggest struggle of the fight is the movement after the first kill. Dodging the attacks while managing to land hits. I got this”
I entered stealth mode, opened my inventory and lit the bomb. The bomb landed exactly in the middle of the wolf pack, the bomb blew up and I struck the one wolf from behind and it died.
“1 down, 2 to go!” The remaining wolfs jumped at me at the same time. I could not enter stealth mode while I was seen, running away of an npc`s sight would reset their hp and behavior, so I had to fight toe to toe. I jumped to the side as the wolves laned, but they quickly charged towards me again. I tried to copy the movements Nort used in his fight with the elemtalist.
I put all my strength to my feet and lunged towards them with my daggers ready to strike. I hit both the wolves in the stomach and they died, just disappeared to pixel dust into the air as the loot was dropped. I could hear clapping behind me. It was Nort.
“Wow, that was amazing for a guy lvl 2, those planning skills surly fit for an assassin!” That was the biggest smile I had seen Nort make!
“Still not finished, we need to find 2 more wolves and 5 bea---!?” 1 bear jumped on me from behind and knocked me down on the ground! It bit my left shoulder with its bloodthirsty teeth!
“Are you alright, Sky?” The bear was slow, but its damage was really strong, I could feel my left shoulder burning in pain! I had no choice to fight toe to toe again!
I could feel the adrenalin started rushing through my veins because of the pain, even though I knew Nort had my back, it could not be contained. The bear ran towards me with a powerful and intimidating aura, but it was slower then the wolves, I could dodge it! I waited for the bear to come close before I quickly stepped to the left. I could either go left or right, putting into consideration that my left shoulder was damaged I had to jump left so that my right arm was the one to shiv him!
The bear came closer and roared, but I was ready! I jumped to the left as fast as I could and shived the beast in its right side a perfect hit, but not enough to one hit it! The bear roared in pain and tried to claw me in retaliation, it almost hit me, I was lucky, if I was a little bit slower it could claw my right leg, which would considerably make my movement dull. I could see the health of the bear dropping slowly over time from the poison, but it was like 10% of the damage of the attack from before. The bear turned around and faced me, with even more ferocious eyes!
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Suddenly the bear was shot with an arrow in the head, finishing it off!
“Who is there?” Where did that arrow come from?
“Yo! Want to team up?” a big guy with furry armor and a bow came out of one of the tree tops. He was wearing goggles so I couldn’t see his eyes, but the glasses are grey with a red dot in the middle.

“What is this?” A party invite came up before me. Accept or decline? I pressed accept.
“You are now in a party, your exp and loot will be shared, you can not damage each other and the quests can also be shared.” Nort says sounding like a teacher.
I noticed he didn’t have a body guard like me.
“Where is your body guard?” I pointed at Nort. He smiles and that smile went “ching!” again I swear!
“I am lvl 3 and I am done with this quest, I have been waiting here for someone to team up with! I can help you out with the quest!” The Archer seemed like a nice and trust worthy guy.
We killed wolves and bears together, he tracked them down and laid traps while I lurked around. We strategically made our attacks, the Archer named Cortez drew his bow ready to shoot while he had a trap in front of him hidden in the grass, while I was invisible behind the beast! He shot and I ambushed at the same time, the beast was killed in an instant, the trap got a wolf that was hiding in the bushes. Before we knew it the quest was complete and I was lvl 3!
New abilities “Reappear” an ability to instantly teleport behind the target, in or out of stealth mode and “Apparition” a clone of yourself, can not attack and is killed by anything damaging, used for decoys and strategic kills.
“Wow, questing together went so much quicker! We didn’t even get hurt once!” Having Cortez on my side sure helped a lot!
“Lets go, Sky and deliver the quest.” Nort without hesitation was already on his way out of the forest. I think he has something on his mind, at least recently.
“ Cortez, come with us after I have delivered the quest we can keep going!” I began to follow Nort.
“ Ok, coming!” Cortez was disabling the trap and looted the wolf.
On the caravan back to the city to deliver the quest.
“Here is the meat, madam.” I handed over the 5 wolf and 5 bear meat.
“ Thank you, young adventurer. Take this as a token of my gratitude.” I got some gold and a smoke bomb. Each classes gets a piece of equipment for their own class, if I was a Archer I would have gotten something else then a smoke bomb, like a trap set or something.
“This is where I take my leave, Sky. Maybe we will see each other again sometime.” Nort turned his back, but didn’t start walking yet.
“You should head toward a city called Zuria, your next quests lie there, and you will get several quest chains, so you are not bounded to 1 quest at a time. Good luck and be careful! That goes for you too Cortez!” Nort waves as he takes his leave.
“Thanks so much, Nort!” Now it was only me and Cortez against the world of Felia!
