After finishing the quest I logged-out and check the time stating 8:21 P.M, I suppose it's time to rest.
After getting a good rest I woke up by my biological alarm clock at 5:30 A.M and went to cook for my breakfast, After finishing my meal I went to my daily exercise routine and started jogging. After finishing my daily routine I laid down on the capsule and started playing
As I connected to the game the first thing I saw is the lively market and players shouting
'Repairing Equipments: Fee 10 copper coins'
'Selling Cloth Armor, Better than the beginner one for only 5 copper coins'
'Selling Lvl 5 equipments..................."
And so on, but as I was going to leave I saw some-one selling a skill book for assassin and it's name is 'Rapture' as the owner of the stall saw me looking he said
"Brother, look at this skill book just got dropped from a lvl 4 monster I'm just selling it for 2 Silver coins how about it?"
As he finished speaking I agreed to it because I earned alot in hunting 100 lvl 6 wolves namely I suppose I'm not just lucky enough to get even a gear or skill book.
After purchasing the skill, I instantly used it and checked it's description Skill: Rapture (Passive)LvL 1 - Attacks have given chance to trigger bleed for 5% (Bleed deals 1% attack+ (Lvl*Skill LvL)
After purchasing it I still have 26 silver coins to spare but I found nothing that interested me so I went to the chief to say that I completed the quest and asked if there's something I can do to help.
After the chief heard what I said he sigh and told me the problem "Do you know that in the Eastern part of the plains there have been more and more incidents where our people got bitten by snaked, I don't know if you can accomplish this but If you can collect 50 snake gallbladder and give it to that Old bag of bones in the pharmacy I think she can help cure the poisoned settlers"
'Ding.. Collect 50 snake gallbladder from the chaos snakes in the Eastern plains' Rewards: 25,000EXP 10 Silver coins and 1 Item from the pharmacy Do you accept?'
"Accept" As I was thinking why the reward for the silver coins is only 10 I guessed that the items in the pharmacy is quite decent as given the current game that still yet to open the currency transaction for a while.
While I was thinking of it, I arrived at the plains but I only spotted few players from between, I can't help but think 'Do players avoid me for some reason' cause since the day I was hunting I never spotted a fellow gamer. As I was thinking it's just that the monsters here are high lvled for normal players I checked the surrounding and saw a greyish snake about a feet long and checked out it's stats

As I calculated how long this battle will be over I used Backstab and a -19 red text appreared and it seems like the bleeding effect activated and -8 damage floated per second, It won't take too long before it's finished. And after 3 minutes It finally went down. After looking at the loots I finally saw a skill book named 'Sprint'.
[Sprint (Active)
Available for Warrior and Assassin Class]
After looking at it I used it on myself
[Skill: Sprint - Increases movement speed by 20%for 10 seconds
Cool down: 1 minute Cost: 20 MP]
After thinking that this is going to boost my hunting efficiency
I looked at the tab to look how much EXP it gave
You have received 320EXP for killing a chaos snake
As I have 84% EXP after killing the 26th chaos snake, I lvled up to 6.
After running around hunting snakes for 2hrs 30mins I finally collected 50 gallbladder, looking at my loot besides the decent cloth armor which I used everything is not necessary for me.
After selling all the useless item I have in the auction I got 13 silvers, which even got me surprised. Looking at my bag I have 46 silvers at the moment and soon to be 56.
As I went to the direction of the pharmacy I instantly saw an old grandma in the counter, As I went infort of her I gave her the 50 snake gallbladder that's requested.
As she saw the gallbladder, she has a shocked appearance as if appraising me and she said "The village cheif appointed you right? Come with me I'll give you the compensstion" she said with a satisfied face.
After walking through the hallway there was a box there and as I closed in she opened it and I was instantly amazed from what I saw, 4 Different fruits as I gazed at them I looked at the descriptions
"Fruit of Absolute Fire
Effects: Grants 10 permanent STR and 10% fire resistance and gives 10% extra damage from fire related attacks
A Fruit that can only be born in a extremely harsh environment filled with chaotic fire"
"Fruit of Winter Snow

A Fruit born from an extremely cold places"
"Fruit of Life

"Fruit of Tempest
Effects: Grants 10 permanent AGI and grants 10% movement speed and when dodges apponents attacks gives 10% attack speed
A Fruit born from a rash environment where whistling wind can slice almost everything in a second"
When I finished reading I groaned as such heaven defying items are in front of me but I can only take one. As I said to myself being greedy too much would be a disaster. It's better to have one than none, as I repeated that to myself I chose the Fruit of Tempest, seeing my choice she said
"Hmm, no greed incited only excitedness and a regretful expression but still kept calm. You have a bright future ahead of you boy, keep it up"
I was surprised as I looked at the granny, damn if I didn't know this was a game I would've believed I was transported to another world.
As I thanks the granny I received the notification
'Ding... Quest Completed
Received: 25,000EXP , 10 Silver coins, Fruit of Tempest (choice)
Then I saw a golden light draped on my body as I lvled up to lvl 7. I still have 6 SP left with-out using it.
Then an announcement came 'The Leader Board System have been installed' and then 'You have the qualifications to join the Leader Board and spread your name, Do you choose to place your name?'
I instantly declined, because being low-key is much more reasonable for a 1 man me, I'm not one of those super strong player where I can 1 vs 1 guild, I'm gonna die in that case.
As I looked at the Leader Board
1. LvL 6 Sky Breaker
2. LvL 6 Storm Descends
3. LvL 6 Night Tingle
As I should have expected I'm ahead of them......
