Chapter One: The First Quest
Zu with his shovel at hand continued to stroll over to his wooden house. It was a four minute walk sure, but he had a constant amount of ‘Jumpers’ coming up asking for quest. Zu continued to tell them that he didn’t have any which made them all feel disappointed.
Zu stopped right in front of his house, he took a step towards the wooden door but changed his mind. ‘No, I should examine them and see what they do.’ Zu thought to himself, he stopped himself from going inside his house and calling it a day.
It would be weird for him to let himself fall asleep when it has only been around two hours since he first arrived. The ‘Jumpers’ that appeared seemed to have a limit to them, they stopped appearing after around ten minutes, however this village that only has sixty-two places cannot contain them all. It seems those ‘Jumpers’ knew that because most are out in the outskirts of the village doing other things.
‘Where do they go after leaving the village?’ Zu thought to himself as he sat his shovel against the wooden wall.
“Come on, all the other players are grinding rabbits, we should try to find a spot ourselves!” A young voice called out. This voice sounded feminine, but it actually came from a handsome male with silver hair.
‘Strange, why is your hair color so weird? And you guys are actually hunting rabbits!?’ Zu was taken back by this, but when he looked around the village it seems the villagers continued going about their business. The ‘Jumpers’ were going up to them asking for more quest - which the villagers gave out - and then back to the outskirts of the village.
‘This term ‘player’ could that be another type of ‘Jumper’?’ Zu placed both his hands on his head and started messing his brown hair up. “Ah, I just don’t understand!” Zu shook his head while talking to no one, the ‘Jumpers’ passing by started looking at him funny. He was attracting unwanted attention.
Two more ‘Jumpers’ left to go into the outskirts of the village, and a few meters behind them was Zu. These two ‘Jumpers’ were different not only in body size and gender, but they each had different weapons. One had a short sword that was chipped in different places while another had two daggers hanging from her waist. They seemed to be talking about joining up with their party, but Zu didn’t understand them at all.
The walk took them around five minutes, it was short but the view was different. If Zu thought the scenery around the village was beautiful, then this was a masterpiece. Cool wind blowing - that made his hair sway - flowers stretching off into the distance, countless trees whose branches were swaying. The sun off into the beautiful sky, while there were tons of beautiful rabbits hopping around. The scene would have been a masterpiece but it was completely ruined. Blood, death, fighting, these ‘Jumpers’ were harming these poor rabbits that couldn’t even fight back.
You could not even call this a fight, it wasn’t fair at all. These white furred rabbits that were only a meter or two tall were getting jumped by four to five different ‘Jumpers’.
‘Monsters! You are all monsters!’ Zu felt as if he would faint, his face was drained of any color while he went to his knees. “Stop! Why are you killing these cute, innocent creatures…”
Teary eyed Zu almost burst out crying, but he kept it in. He felt something nuzzle against his arm, but his vision was blurry from being soaked. Zu wiped his eyes and next to him was this beautiful pink rabbit, it was cute. The eyes were red while it had a crown tilted on it’s head.
“How did you get away from those monsters? No, never mind, come here i’ll protect you.” Zu calmly said as he stretched his arm out towards the pink crowned rabbit. He wanted to feel it’s fur, to hold it, he was going to protect it from being murdered.
“There! That's the rabbit boss!” A voice in the distance called out while a group of players came charging in Zu’s direction.
“Protect the NPC, maybe we’ll get a reward.” A rough voice said as he noticed Zu trying to grab the rabbit. To him it looked like Zu was saying “Get away!” however he couldn’t be more wrong.
Pew! Pew!
Two arrows shot past Zu hitting the pink crowned rabbit straight in the stomach. Zu thought it was dead, but it wasn’t it was still alive. The pink crowned rabbit seemed to undergo a change, instead of the cute creature it was a moment ago, it looked like a vicious beast. It turned into a five meter tall thing with it’s pink fur sticking up that seemed like it would pierce a body any moment, with white foam coming out of it’s mouth. The two front teeth grew two meters long and were pointed at the tip, it looked like it would eat anything in sight.
You have entered the Pink Crowned Rabbit bosses area zone. Due to you not knowing what's going on you have 25% drop of all stats.
Due to being next to the Pink Crowned Rabbit without knowing you are paralyzed.
Ding! Pink Crowned Rabbit is calling all minions to fight by it’s side. All miniature rabbits will gain a 10% increase to all stats until the Pink Crowned Rabbit is killed.
Zu didn’t know what was going on, his heart was beating as if it was going to pop out of his chest. When he moved his eyes to meet with the Pink Crowned Rabbit he felt that the creature in front of him would kill him without thinking twice.
“Come on guys, if we don’t hurry the NPC will die!”
“Charge!!”
More and more ‘Jumpers’ charged at the Pink Crowned Rabbit. Some holding onto swords and attacking from the front, while some attacked from a distance.
‘What is this!? Are you telling me they weren’t monsters in the first place, but were killing the actual monsters! But how can something so cute turn into something so vicious!?’ Zu thought to himself as the Pink Crowned Rabbit started to attack the ‘Jumpers’.
These ‘Jumpers’ seemed invincible, the ones attacking in the front wielded their short swords like true warriors. When the Pink Crowned Rabbit tried to attack those at the back they stopped the attack by using their bodies, but nevertheless they continued to get up.
The ‘Jumpers’ in the back held their bow and arrows, while some even had staves. Magic like objects were coming out of the staff as fast as the arrows were being shot from the bow. Each one of these ‘Jumpers’ had the same looking bow and arrow and staff. The staff was broken, but it was wound by some black tape that stopped it from completely breaking apart. The bows were held together by a few pieces of green tape, and the bow string seemed it would break soon. These ‘Jumpers’ were using weapons that were in terrible shape, but they still fought.
Those that had two short daggers attacked the minions that were in the open field, protecting the others. These ‘Jumpers’ didn’t seem like they would cause chaos, nor would they cause utter destruction in Azure. Zu thought that those voices and boxes that appeared in his head told him a lie.
Zu felt the urge to fight alongside these ‘Jumpers’ if it would give them a better chance at survival. Zu balled up his hands making a fist, and charged at the Pink Crowned Rabbit.
The Pink Crowned Rabbit was constantly attacking the ‘Jumpers’ so Zu found this chance to attack it’s back. He threw a punch at the Pink Crowned Rabbit, but it vanished. His fist went straight through it, and he wondered why. ‘Why did it disappear!?’
Ding! Congratulations the Pink Crowned Rabbit has been slayed! The players who have did the most damage are:
1: StrawberryKiller
2: BlackShot
3:Fun4Flies The those top three players will be awarded with 10 extra stat points, along with +20 fame.

Ding! The rabbits will not attack the Village anymore, but beware while you travel.
“Woot! We’re the best, I have to tell my friends!”
“Darnit, if only I had more chances to hit it.”

“Hell yeah! StrawberryKiller in the house!”
All around Zu the ‘Jumpers’ were jumping around celebrating. They were hugging each other, giving each other pats on the back, and even fist bumping. In this moment Zu felt that his life was saved, and that these ‘Jumpers’ were incredible.
When he looked at them killing the rabbits before, he didn’t notice that the dead rabbits disappeared, but now he knew. When one rabbit died, Zu noticed another one appear off in the distance.
A group of ‘Jumpers’ came up to him with smiles on their faces. Some patted Zu on his shoulder, while others said he was safe now.
“So, I don’t mean to rush you or anything, but can we get our reward?”
Zu looked at the man who spoke, he looked only a few years younger than Zu himself. His hair was pink, but he looked rough all over. He had a scar going down his tan face, while he put his sword short in its sheath.
“Reward? Who are you?” Zu asked the man.
“It’s not like you need to know that since none of us will be here long, but i’ll tell you anyways. I’ll be the strongest man alive and future king! StrawberryKiller!”
Zu wanted to laugh at his name, but considering that this was the person who did the most damage to the Pink Crowned Rabbit a moment ago he knew that was a bad idea. “Sorry, but I don’t have any rewards.” Zu said softly, his face blushed red also, he was embarrassed.
“Fuck this! We saved his ass and we get nothing in return, worst fucking NPC ever.”
“I knew we should have let him die!”
“Tsk! You suck!”
“Lets leave guys, we know next time not to save him.”
‘Huh? What do you mean?’ Zu said to himself as all those ‘Jumpers’ started to get angry at him. They said mean things to him before leaving, Zu felt a little saddened by it.
Zu sat down, he remembered why he came to the outskirts of the village in the first place. He might be saddened by those ‘Jumpers’ but he still needed to see what they were up to and what they actually were. Zu began to watch closely at the movements of those ‘Jumpers’ fighting the rabbits.
He watched a group of four ‘Jumpers’ attack a few rabbits. There was a female with a short sword, one with two daggers, one with a bow and arrow, and another female with a staff. He would have looked at another group, but these female ‘Jumpers’ were more appealing to the eye. Not appealing just because of their looks, but because of the way they moved their body.
Zu noticed it all, these female ‘Jumpers’ didn’t attack the Pink Crowned Rabbit like the others did, they continued to attack the little rabbits. The female with the short sword hit the little rabbit, but once she made the first move the little rabbit jumped at her with it’s mouth wide open. She side stepped it without actually using much movement, the little rabbit flew past her but she punched it while it was in the air. When it landed it seemed to be dizzy, because it’s head was going around in circles.
The female with the two daggers came from behind the little rabbit, Zu didn’t notice her before because he was paying attention to the one with the short sword. She moved fast, and was extremely agile. Her two daggers struck the little rabbit at such a fast speed, and before the little rabbit could react she seemed to vanish. The female ‘Jumper’ with the short sword took this chance to hit the rabbit again, and the little rabbit was chopped into two halves. Not even a second later did the rabbit disappear into thin air.
The female with the bow and arrow grabbed a few arrows from her quill and put one on the bow, bring it back with the string. Pew! The arrow flew out attacking another little rabbit that was three meters away from her. Pew! Pew! Two more times an arrow struck the little rabbit, she seemed to be shooting arrows one after another, back to back with ease. Her precision was extremely accurate, she didn’t miss one shot.
While she was attacking with her bow and arrow she kept going back a few steps. Zu thought that this was to gain some distance between her and the little rabbit. The female with the staff started her attack, blue lights came out of her staff and dealt damage to the little rabbit. The bolts of blue light weren’t as fast as the arrow, but it seemed to do more damage.
Suddenly the rabbit turned blue, and stopped moving. It froze in place, and the two females finished it off. ‘Amazing’ Zu thought to himself, he was totally immersed in watching this group of females that he didn’t know he was getting weird stares.
‘Hmm, it said I could create a quest. Maybe I should try that.’
‘Create quest’ Zu said inside his head while tons of blue boxes appeared.
Ding! This is your first time creating a quest would you like a tutorial?
“Sure!”
To create a quest you must first state your object. One the object is stated you can decide if the quest should have a time limit on it. If it is time sensitive then the player or person who receives the quest has that long to complete it. If they fail to complete it within the required time frame then you will receive a portion of the exp you were willing to give. If the quest is not time sensitive the player or person who receives it can complete it whenever they want. Completed quest will be added to your personal achievement. For a reward you can use your quest reward points to convert those into exp or equipement. The more points converted the better the reward for the player or person who completes it. 1 quest reward point = 20 exp, 100 quest reward point = piece of equipment (The more quest reward points you put into the quest, the better the reward!)
If you would like to create a quest, please state your object. Once stated convert your quest reward points into exp or equipment. You may begin.
‘So that’s how it works!’ Zu put his hand on his chin while he thought of a quest to make up. He remembered that he would only get twenty reward points a day, but he had tons at this moment so he didn’t care.
“The Object is to teach Zu how to fight, and please convert the quest reward points into both exp and equipment. Twenty quest reward points into exp and five hundred into equipment! There is a five hour time limit.”
Ding! Teach Zu combat! Zu is requesting you to teach him how to fight, he is a mere farmer that knows no combat skills, however he is willing to learn. However the farmer Zu has a certain amount of time to spare, so you only have 5 hours to teach him combat skills. Due to this being Zu’s first request the rewards are doubled. Rewards: 400 exp (x2)????
Give this quest to a player of your choosing.
Zu grinned, it was his first quest so he wanted to be grateful to the person he was giving it to. He decided to give them a nice amount of exp along with a piece of equipment for their services.
Zu got up off the ground and patted the dirt off of his dirty clothes while he strolled over to the group of girls. They were in the middle of fighting the little rabbits when he came, but the female ‘Jumper’ with the staff approached him.
“Yes, do you need help?” She asked Zu.
“Ah, yes I was wondering if you would accept my quest?” Zu asked while his face turned red. It was his first quest and he didn’t want to get rejected.
“Sure, what is it?” The girl asked him.
Ding! Quest Generate! Teach Zu combat! Zu is requesting you to teach him how to fight, he is a mere farmer that knows no combat skills, however he is willing to learn. However the farmer Zu has a certain amount of time to spare, so you only have 5 hours to teach him combat skills. Due to this being Zu’s first request the rewards are doubled. Rewards: 400 exp (x2)???
Do you accept Y/N?
“Sure!” The girl said without any hesitation at all. When she read over the quest her eyes shined bright almost as if they wanted to sparkle.
Player Clare has accepted your quest!
“Ah, is it shareable?” She asked.
“Sharable?” Zu asked her.
“Yes, can I share it with my friends?”
“I don’t mind.”
Ding! You’ve given permission for your quest to be shared. Due to it being your first time giving permission sharing a quest the rewards are doubled!
