“Alright lad, since you don’t even know the basic, I will tell you about weapons.” and I sit on the training ground. “There are many weapons as you could tell. With weapon size categorized into small, medium, and large. Where the usage of weapon designation indicates the monster we fight.”
“You adventurer doesn’t care about monster size, many of you only use skills, and hacking without looking at your enemy sizes. Yes although one handed swords are better weapon since they have massive base damage compared with another weapon, but the efficiency of fighting will be reduced.”
“Let’s say you fight using sword fighting one horned rabbits that are categorized as medium sized monster, you will dealt 100% damage since the one handed swords are categorized as medium weapons. If you use dagger, There will be reduced damage around 75% from weapon with same damage status. So is using small weapon fighting large enemy the reduction could go to 50% damage output.”
“While range weapon are different having 100% damage dealt into small and medium monster, but having reduced damage to large monster into 75% of total damage.” With long talk from Rickon about weapons and considering my conditions where my body are weak.
“Instructor rick, I have a weak body and don’t have big stamina what should I do so I could fight with monsters?” I ask with dejected face to make him pity me, like what I do whenever my sport teacher ask me to exercise .
“Don’t worry about that lad! You only need to do what I tell you and you will be ready for your adventure!” he said while flexing his muscle hardened body.
“Really ? that’s really great, so what should I do now sir?” I ask with beaming eye.
“hohoho, don’t be impatient lad, first now you will learn how to use weapons. Let’s start with bow.” And he handing me a bow from his back.
Durability : 90/90
Damage : 1-3
Beginner bow
Wooden bow that could be acquired at training hall in any city,
available for all class.
requirement : none
Basic arrow
Damage : 1~1
A normal arrow that available for anyone that visit training hall, most people don’t even try to use this arrow to hunt the easiest monster.
Requirement : none
“Alright try to shoot the target over there” while pointing to target board from haystack with red and white circles on it.
With me stand in the line around 20 meters from the target, I tried to pull the string, to my surprise the bow string are hard to pull, when instructor Rickon see that I having trouble pulling the string.
“Try to stand straight and pull the bow while make your left hand move to the front and your right hand to the back.”
Ngreek( AN: I hope you guys could imagine the sound of the string or if you think this sound weird just tell I will change it )
With the bow knocked and the arrow in position I shoot them into the board. To my surprise the arrow shoot through the 20m target board, and bounce from hitting the wall. With my lips arched I found that I could knock the arrow far enough that I could reach the target, thou the arrow missed the mark. But for me this already a miracle.
“hahaha you need to train your arm so that you won’t miss the mark” as he said while crossing his arm and lean to the wall 2 meters behind me.
“Is there any way to train that I could steady my arm sir?” I ask with my bow in hand and quiver next to wall in my right.
“of course there are lad! All you need to do is practice again and again, or you could strengthen your body with special course” he said with smile full horror that makes me felt chill. ‘hrmm is this really a game? That he his smile make me goose bump.’
“Is that so instructor? What kind of course you have in store?” I ask even thou I know that this won’t end well for me.
“I’m glad you ask lad! Come here again tomorrow morning and I will train you!” he ask with big smile on his face, like he just found a plaything.
“hmm, I want to come sir, but… I’m afraid I couldn’t come tomorrow morning.” I said with a little relieved.
“ Huh? Why can’t you come tomorrow, don’t you want to train?” with his face become dejected.
“Oh, it’s not that I don’t want to come sir, but I already promised John the restaurant owner to help him for the next three days with the upcoming festival sir” I said hurriedly, ‘what a sensitive adult he is’
“Hahaha, you are right brat tomorrow will be a festival. I forget about that one, alright you will come to me after the festival okay?”
Promise with instructor Rickon After pique instructor Rickon interest you were offered to undergo his training

“ I will come instructor you don’t need to worries” I said smiling
Quest accepted
“for now I will try to shoot more arrow to the target board” I said while start to knock the bow in my hand.
“hahaha alright I will leave you for now, keep practicing and you can come and go whenever you want to this training ground.
Because of good relationship with instructor Rickon,

‘huh? What is this.. reputation? So I could get something from NPC aside from quest and skills? That’s sure are new’
And after that Eiden continue to practice the bow until 2 hours and alarm goes on to remind him that he need to sleep. And he after that he go to kitchen getting some drinks and brush his teeth. And go to sleep right away.
***
In the morning he wake up at 05:30 get some shower, brush his teeth and make breakfast. Since the eggs from yesterday already gone, he only make some vegetable with bread toast. Reid never having trouble eating vegetables since he like to eat meats and vegetables from he was small.
Then walk to the school, to his surprise he didn’t meet any of his fellow students. Either it’s still too early, or people don’t walk to the school but since he don’t bother with it, he walk and arrived after 30 minutes and sweating since the school are uphill even thou road not very steep, for him its exhausting with his weak body.
With him arrived at 06:30 and there are no ones that come to the school, he think he could get some sleep before the class start at 07:10. ‘hmm with school as good as this I couldn’t think why there is no people coming here, well I think I could get some sleep so I could focus study.’
After five minute he finally get some sleep and having a dream about his little brother Felix Frath. In this dream is when he was eight years old when he play with his little brother that just having his six birthday two weeks ago, they played in the park near their home.
The two of them are often come here with their parents, but this time their parents doesn’t come but there are few adults that taking a lookout in the park so there won’t be any shady uncle to take them home.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
But that’s not the problem this time, soon after playing with swing a few minutes they see some other children finish with ball, so they come and start playing football. Not that they already become anti social, but the kids that play with ball are older that them. So the two of them play another game first.
After five minute and they start playing football, since the other kids already go home. Suddenly there are a car that breaching the park line and heading to his little brother. Couldn’t do anything, he can only see what happened with his little brother when his little brother start to run from the middle of the car, but since he can only run a few little step Felix still get hit by the car, and the car crash into the wall next to their left side.
And then Reid wakeup with sweat all over his uniform, with erratic breathing and realize that it was a dream he couldn’t help but feel helpless again, couldn’t do anything when his little brother are hurt, with his stomach feeling unwell he decided to go to the bathroom to wash his face.
While he walk to the bathroom he once again felt so depressed, since he couldn’t do anything to help Felix. Even after that where he want to become the big brother that could protect his little brother, to his disappointment he find that his body couldn’t get better even when he keep trying to do push up, and any other thing.
After he finish wash his face, he just realize that there are no one at the school. With the time only 10 more minutes before class start, that’s not possible so he decided to go to the school announcer board. Where the board filled with what’s going on his school, and flyer about school activities from last year.
To his surprise he found out that because of yesterday event where people get fall into sleep suddenly school decided to make students don’t have to attend school for one week to see what cause mass sleep or if there any side effect.
(AN: anyone could find a cool name for the sleep attack?)
Feeling stupid for not attending the ceremony yesterday at the gym hall, he missed about this announcement. And with that he goes back to his uncle home.
Changing his clothes with his casual clothes, he start to clean the first and second floor. After a while he decided to play the capsule again, remembering he have quest with John the restaurant owner.
Connecting [
Not forget to set the alarm for 10:00 so he could go and buy something to eat later. He start back in the training hall with bow and quiver in his inventory. Feeling that he should start go to the place where John said where his stand will but he forget where the location. Because its quest he tried to open Quest tab, where there are few option. And he open the Ongoing quest.
1. Helping John restaurant
2. Promise with instructor Rickon
With that he choose the first quest and the mini map at the bottom side of his view (left) there are red dots, and then there are red circle indicate where he need to walk. Astonished with such cool guidance he walk to where red arrow indicate. After few minutes he arrived where John still preparing the stand and the cooking equipment are being prepared by Ellain. He greet the two of them and come over their place and start helping them. And with few minutes their stand finished and could start operating.
“It’s good to see you come before the appointed time Eiden” John said while tapping his shoulder “ you don’t need to come this early tomorrow since we don’t unload the stands for next couple days.”
“I’m glad I could help with you preparing things John” I said with smile on my face “ and what we going to sell for this event John?” I ask since there are weird cooking device that I never seen.
“ we going to sell some meat that my friend manage to hunt yesterday, this meat really nice if you could cook it fast and so we need high heat to cook it and this baby ( while patting the special stove) could do the work.
“Alright then, what should I do to make them?” I ask since I like to cook.
“first you need to prepare the meat to the grinder/ you could mince them with your knives, and then you will put this secret ingredient to them. After that stick it to the steel bar and we can put them into the pit.” He said while start to show me how to prepare the meat.
“Could I try it John?” I said, asking for him to teach me how to prepare the meat. ‘Then he teach me to prepare it for lots of batches so when the order come what we need to do are stick the meat to the steel bar and cook it.’
And after forty minutes all the preparation are finished and I was told to try make one order. “Go try to put the steel bar to the oven” ( for some people want to know what kind of oven I talk could google Tandoori oven).
When I tried to cook it and put my hand inside the oven and there are new massage shown in front of me
Because of extreme heat
You get damage overtime until you could adapt with the heat
Flinching from the heat felt John next to me laughing “ Hahaha, yes you could get hurt if you play with fire, haha so what you need to do are get use with the heat.” He said while tapping my shoulder.
“Okay John so I need to get used with the heat, how long do I need to keep doing this?”
“ Not too long, you only need to hold for 10 minutes” he said while preparing other dishes
“Alright so I need to stand near the oven and let my hand on top of it?”
“Yup! You got it right.” He smiled “And you will surprised with what you will find”
“hmm? What will I find John?” I ask while holding my hand on top the oven.
“You will see when the time come.”
***
After 10 minute and few time stopping since I couldn’t handle the damage if I constantly holding my hand and then new information shows up.
Fire resistance status unlocked
“Wow, that’s cool!” without realizing that I was shouting, John was laughing.
“Yes, as you can see. We could gain fire resistance so without even fighting you could get more benefit from any activities as long you know what to do.”
“Is that so? Thank you for telling me this John” while closing the information windows.
“It’s not a big deal, since I like you I will give you something after this festival.”
“For now, you should prepare to cook and yelling to get their attention to our stall okay kiddo.” While he start going away.
“John where are you going?” I ask panicking
“ You will be the one responsible selling the menu set since all you need to do are do what I told you for each dishes, since the restaurant won’t be closed.”
“later at there will be people that replace you, so don’t worries. Do your best okay!”
“I will John, thank you for trusting me this” I said while start to clean the booth.
And the festival begin at around 09:30,
