Arin traveled to where he first found the rabbits and started exploring the area. According to the stall owner, the Rabbit King was much larger than any other rabbit and unlike the rabbit warrior, it had a weapon of its own. As he walked around looking for the monster, Tuttles suddenly bit his pants and tried to dragg him somewhere. He didn't understand where she was taking him but he followed and saw a giant rabbit wielding a sabre. A crown sat on top of it's head as it hopped around.
Rabbit King (Level 7) Roaming Boss
HP:1200
MP:100
ATK:35
DEF:7
SPD:12
MAG:2
Skills: Dash Attack, Kick, Triple Stab
Arin sucked in a cold breath. This monster was strong, extremely strong and he wasn't sure if he could beat it. It was a Roaming Boss which had much higher stats than normal bosses. If he had to think about it, Arin had about a 15 percent chance of winning however that was without a summon. This was the variable to could change the situation. He began to summon and hoped for a good one. He might be able to stand a chance against this giant rabbit.
"Summoned Great Slime"
After seeing the notification, he wasn't sure if he should start crying. What he needed was damage something like the night wolf but stronger. Instead he got a slime, a great slime at that. The blue goop looked at him waiting for orders.
He then looked at its stats and skills and felt that not all hope was lost.
Great Slime (Level 4)
HP:140
MP:30
ATK:2
DEF:5
MAG:10
Skills: Acid Touch (Level 1) (deals 6 DPS for 10 seconds), Leech (Level 1) ( 3 DPS, gains health equal to damage done)
The slime had a poison skill!
With this, Arin had a much higher chance of winning, after all if he distracted the Rabbit King and prolonged the fight, he would just have to wait for the poison to kill it. This was extremely dangerous, after all he was going to solo a boss that was meant for a group.
With a plan in mind, he slowly approached the Rabbit King with Tuttles and commanded the Great Slime to hide. The Rabbit King turned around spotting the two and eyed them like prey.
"This is nuts, I'm not ready, What did I just do to myself?" He thought, panicking on the inside.
As it approached, Arin calmed down and resolved himself, this was something that he had started and it must be finished. Tuttles used Repelling Stance and Arin buffed it with Strengthen. Afterwards, He used Weaken on the the Rabbit King. With their preparations done, Tuttles rushed forth with its 4 SPD but was still too slow. The Rabbit King sneered at Tuttles and kicked her away, unknowingly, it had suffered damage from hitting Tuttles.

"12"
"16"
Tuttles suffered 12 damage while the rabbit king took 16 damage. Afterwards it attacked again.
"Dash Attack"
The Rabbit King rushed forward preparing to cut down both man and turtle but Arin was waiting for this move! He suddenly grabbed Tuttles and rushed straight for it. It seemed suicidal of him to do this and yet... there was a smile on his face. The moment they were within 10 feet of each other, He slammed down on the Rabbit King's head with Tuttle's shell.
"12"
"Stunned!"
This was what he was waiting for! Immediately, the Great Slime latched onto the Rabbit King's body and simultaneously used both skills, dealing a combined 9 damage every second. Arin and Tuttles also started attacking. This stunned state wouldn't last for very long and every second could not be wasted. However, Arin wouldn't let the Rabbit King recover so easily, Every couple of seconds, Arin would hit it on its head with either Tuttles or his staff, sometimes even using both, sending it back into its stunned state. He made full use of this exploit. If someone was to see this scene, they would be horrified. It was a one sided fight but what really made it horrifying was the look on Arin's face.
He was staring at the Rabbit King like it was as pot of gold and the thought of the loot only made him attack faster. After several more minutes, the Rabbit King was killed just like that. It wasn't even a proper fight but Arin didn't care, greed had overtaken him, the loot-loving side of him had truly awakened. Fortunately, the Rabbit King's drops did not disappoint.
Rabbit King's Sabre (Level 7) (Warrior Classes Only) (Rare/Blue)
ATK + 22
SPD + 2
Nimbleness: Increases SPD by 20 percent for 1 minute (Cooldown: 5 minutes)
Lucky Foot of the Rabbit King (Level 6) (Rare/Blue)
Increases Luck by 5
Lucky Foot: Doubles Luck for 10 seconds (Cooldown: 10 minutes)
Of the two drops, he was most excited about the second one, The Lucky Foot of the Rabbit King. This was an accessory that that increased luck! Luck or LCK for short is a hidden stat of the game. It affected things like the chances of landing a critical hit, getting better drops, summoning better creatures, etc. It is mysterious and frankly very powerful. With enough luck, you could overturn any bad situation, a losing fight could easily become a win. Furthermore, monsters might drop better loot. Unfortunately, players start out with zero luck and the only way to increase it was through items. Thus the luck stat isn't part of the character menu and is regarded as only a hidden stat. As for the sabre, he had no use for it considering that he was not a warrior based class.
Both him and Tuttles had leveled up allowing him to equip the lucky foot. Arin set the sabre aside to sell later while he immediately equipped the lucky foot in his accessory slot. Afterwards, he went back to the village and showed the Lucky Foot of the Rabbit King to the stall owner as proof that he slew the Rabbit King. She slowly teared up as she approached him, handing over a stone tablet.
"Thank you for helping me avenge my father. I am eternally grateful for you. This stone tablet has been in our family for years. Legend says that this is a map, leading to a source of unending power. I may be unable to find it, but perhaps you have a chance", she said.
Arin accepted it and multiple notifications popped up.
"Quest Completed!"
"You've gained a map of some sort, however, you are too weak to comprehend it!"
Arin was both happy and disappointed. He had a map that could give him something awesome but at the same time he could not use it immediately. Furthermore, he didn't even know when he could use it. He felt sad as he put it into his inventory and said goodbye to the stall owner. With all of the quests done, he decided that it was time to leave the village. He went to the village chief where a prompt showed up, asking if he was ready to enter the world of Axis. Arin looked at it and pressed yes. Afterwards, the village chief led him down a path in a forest and told him to walk down it.
Arin walked until the village could not be seen and he continued forward, surrounded by nature. Minutes later, he could see a city in the distance. This was his entrance to the world.
