"What are you talking about?" Leone said,"What even is that!"

"Uh... I think it's sort of like a pact," the boy attempted to explain, "Where we can't hurt each other, but work together."

"Fine! B-but it's not like this makes us friends or anything," the girl said pointing her finger at the boy.

Shortly after the boy, opened the window, as he tapped the menu button.

Party

Status

Bestiary

Ignoring the others, the boy tapped party. Only, one-button appeared it being create a party. As Toshiro clicked the create party button, a small window popped up that looked similar to a letter in front of the girl. Leone hesitated for a moment, before clicking the accept button, a window popping up in front of both of them.

A party has been created!

"Lithen..." the girl mumbled.

"Did you say something?" Lithen asked as he grabbed the now empty sack.

"N-nothing!" Leone stuttered, "Where are you going?"

"To get more food," the boy said, "While I'm gone you should mess around with the system and learn how to use it."

Lithen then left, the plants making bristling and brushing sounds as he passed by. The sun was beginning to set, as Lithen left, but he knew his goal wasn't to farm from the Well of Opportunities.

The sack was almost filled to the brim, by when Lithen was ready to stop. Lithen turned his wrist to motion his status window, it popping up.

"I should head back, I can barely see now," the boy said to himself as he began to head back. A wolf's howl could be heard in the distance, as it was now a full moon.

"What took you so long?" the girl said, "I-it's not like I care though!"

Lithen, agitated ignored the question, before asking, "Did you figure out the system?"

"Yes, and I also learned some type of magic," the girl said as she made a floating bubble of water appear.

"Cool," Lithen replied yawning as he sat down.

"What do you mean cool?" the girl said annoyed, "You should be saying it's amazing!"

"Not really, you can make a bubble, that's about it," the boy said as he threw a berry in his mouth.

"Hmph!" the girl said as she crossed her arms and sat down on the opposite side of the well.

"I'm going to sleep," Lithen said, "Expect to be busy tomorrow."

***

Would you like to do your daily party quest?

The window appeared in front of the now awakening boy. He put his hand through his hair as it was covering a bit of his sight.

"Accept," Lithen said attempting something new.

It worked, as the window shortly after closed making a new window appear.

Lithen:

Gain a new skill

Leone:

Gain a new skill

Lithen puzzled got up and walked over to Leone who was still sleeping.

"Wake up, we have a quest to do," Lithen said trying to wake up Leone.

The girl mumbled a bit as she tossed and turned before waking up.

"W-why are you staring at me!" the girl exclaimed, as got up and jumped back.

"We have a quest to do," Lithen replied.

"Well quit looking at me!" the girl shouted as she got up.

Lithen swiftly turned around before beginning to walk away.

"W-wait up," she said trying to catch up to Lithen.

Lithen ignoring Leone continued to walk at a fast pace.

"Leone, take that sack and pick berries," Lithen said, "It will give you the foraging skill."

"Wh-where are you going though?" she replied.

"To get a different skill," the boy said as he began to walk away.

***

The tall grass swayed as different animals passed through it. Lithen wondered how to gain a new proficiency, as he didn't know of any that he could gain. The breeze continued to blow upon all of the lands, as the hot sun beat upon everything. A small river, gushed out of a mountain as the forest clearing was near.

A lone boy sat upon a large rock, playing a rather mellow tune from the harp he was holding. The boy noticing Lithen stopped the tune as he looked at the boy.

"Who are you?" Lithen asked as he looked at the boy.

"Thy name, tis Archie," replied the boy, "I am a traveling bard, making songs, and telling stories to whoever meets thee."

"Art there anything ye wants to know?" asked Archie.

"Well then, any idea how I may gain a new skill?" asked Lithen as he opened his status window.

"Tis there art many I know of, but the easiest I would say tis the easiest be the gathering skill," the bard said as he got up.

The bard quickly opened up a sack he had sitting on the rock and fished out a herb he had.

"All thee must do, tis collect a few of these," the bard said before putting it back in his sack.

"Thank you for your time," Lithen as he turned around.

"Hold it!" Archie exclaimed.

"When you take something, thee must give something else in return," the bard said.

"What do you want?" replied Lithen as he turned back around.

"Information," the bard replied.

"If you gather enough berries you gain the foraging skill," Lithen replied as he left.

"Tis it a pleasure doing business," the bard said before bowing.

Shortly after the bard sat back upon a rock as he began to play a mellow tune once again with the harp. The boy now headed back to the forest as he began his search for the herb the bard had shown him. The tune could be heard for another minute before the bard stopped

"Aww it seems it's about to rain," Archie said with a sad look.
