"When the sun disappears from the horizon and the moon shines brighter than the sun, the wolves howl like they always had. But every night the howling gets louder and louder. I fear that for some reason the wolves had left their dens in the forest, and that they will soon come to my farm. Can you find and kill all the wolves that are outside of the forest?" The old man said with a serious expression on his face.
Wolves, huh… I thought before I said, "Alright, I will find and kill your wolves. But before I go," I glanced at the broom which was leaning against the house's wall near the wooden door. "Can you sell me that broom?"
A few notification messages flashed in front of me.

The old man glanced at the broom. "You want to buy my broom? Why?"
"Yes. Will you sell it to me?"
The old man slowly nodded his head. "You can just take it." Following his words, The broom got enveloped in a golden glow.
"Thank you." I smiled. I walked up to the broom and touched it with my left hand. A loot window opened and in it was an item.
<
Tapping on the broom, I looted it. Then, I opened my inventory. In it I saw a broom that I just looted.
<
I equipped it, closed my inventory window and opened my character window.

Looking over my attributes, I allocated 4 points into Strength, 1 point into Dexterity, 3 points into Constitution, 1 point into Spirit and the last 1 point into Charisma. Then, I looked over my changed attributes.

I closed my character window and the menu as the old man said, "Is the broom not to your liking?"
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Turning around and facing the old man, I shook my head. "No, it's fine. I will be going now."
The old man nodded his head. "Mhm, I will be waiting for the good news, adventurer."
"Yeah," I said and walked out of the old man's farm and towards the forest.
Leaving his farm, I stopped, unsheathed the broom and snapped the strings that held the straws together. A notification message flashed in front of me.

That's better. I sheathed the stick and continued ahead, only stopping when a wolf appeared in front of me. The wolf was of a size of a normal wolf and had black fur. Above it, I saw its level, name and health.
<
<<60/60>>
Unsheathing my two staves, holding one with my left hand and the other with my right hand, I approached it.
Seeing me, the wolf growled while baring its teeth and it lunged at me.
I sidestepped to the right, easily dodging. I tightened my left grip and swung the staff in my left hand, and while my left staff was in mid-flight, I tightened my right grip and swung the staff in my right hand. Two damage numbers floated up one after another above the wolf's head, <<-21>> <<-23>>. It’s health was reduced to 16.
Dealing damage with my first attack, I gained 7 rage and dealing damage with my second attack, I gained another 6 rage, gaining a total of 13 rage which was more than enough for me to use my skill – <

<<+30 XP>>
<<1/? Wolves Slain>>
Bending down, I touched the wolf's corpse, and the loot window opened.
<<3 Copper Coin>>
Tapping on the 3 copper coins in the loot window, the coins got looted, and there were now 13 copper coins in my inventory. I straightened out and turned my head to the left and to the right, looking in those two directions, and to my right stood a wolf.
…
Searching for the wolves and killing them until it got dark outside, I killed 37 wolves in total. Killing them I received 1,110 experience points which levelled me from Level 1 to Level 6, and looted 111 copper coins, and I now had 1 silver coin and 24 copper coins.
Returning back to the old man's farm, I saw that he was no longer standing where I saw him last. He must have returned back inside. I walked up to the house and knocked on the door.
A few seconds passed and footsteps sounded from inside the house.
He is coming.
Another few seconds passed and the wooden door opened.
"I killed all the wolves I could find," I said the moment the door fully opened.
"How many did you kill?"
"A little over thirty wolves."
The old man's eyes widened and mouth opened. "How many?! he shouted out.
A few notification messages flashed in front of me.

As the notifications finished flashing, the old man recovered from his shock. "I don't have anything to repay you with, adventurer. So at least let me give you food and a place to sleep."
I smiled. "Thank you."
…
After eating dinner, I was shown to my room. Closing the room's door, I lied down on the bed, raised and extended my right arm and swiped down, an action which opened the menu. From the menu, I selected character option and the character window opened.

Looking over my attributes I allocated 12 points into Strength, 3 point into Dexterity, 9 points into Constitution, 3 points into Spirit and the last 3 points into Charisma. I looked over my changed attributes.

I first closed my character window and then the menu. I saw the ceiling in front of me and closed my eyes. How do I get kicked out? How do I get kicked out? How do I get kicked out? How do I get kicked out? This one thought went through my head until I ultimately fell asleep.
