Chapter 3 - Day 1 Part 1 - Hunting in the Forest

Once the time limit ran out the floor of the character creation realm dropped out from under them and Kron, Iaso, and Kin started to fall through the void of the universe. As they were falling they could see the 81 planes and some of the outer fragments. While they were falling they passed by 71 of the 81 one worlds before they landed on the 72nd. From its appearance, the 72nd plane looked like it was split into a multitude of continents with water separating them. Some of the continents were filled with lush forests, some with mountains, rivers, deserts, tundra, and any other biome you could think of, It looked like a true fantasy world.

Once Krono, Iaso, and Kin fell into the plane they continued to fall until they reached the outskirts of a sparse forest near a city. All three of they designated this as a starting zone for new players. When they landed no sound was created in the forest, it was like they appeared out of nowhere. Kron could see no magic coming off of them from the fall. Once they landed Kin suggested that they immediately went into the city for gear and items, but Kron had another. He recommended that they hunt in the forest until close to nightfall and then head into the city. After some discussion, all three of them agreed to Kron's plan.

Kron looked into the sky and saw that the sun was nearing its zenith, so they would have about six hours to hunt and gain experience. After this, all of them looked into their inventories and say that they all had 5 bread, water, and gold. Kron and Iaso both got knives and a random skill book based off of their subclass.

Basic Knife

1-2 damage

A knife that is only good a poking things

Kron got the skill book:

Mana control

control the mana in the air

A skill every mage gets that is interested in magic crafting

Iaso got the skill book:

Basic Heal

heal minor wounds and help to heal major ones

A skill ever healer should know

While Kin got to chose either a sword, spear, shield, or daggers. Kin ended up choosing a sword for his main weapon.

Basic sword

3-5 damage

A sword for noobs

After they got their started items they began to search for targets in the forest. After about five minutes of searching, Kin found a small goblin. Kin said that it was caring no weapons and he could see and didn't have armor. After reporting back to the group all three of them began to surround the goblin.

Once, the all came 5 feet from the Goblin they all jumped at it at the same time. Kin in the from with Kron and Iaso in the back of the Goblin. The Goblin dogged Kin's strike but was hit by both Kron and Iaso's daggers. They left small wounds on the back of the goblin and it began slowly bleeding out. However, the Goblin was still very much alive. Kin is the one with this highest Vit and Str took point and Kron and Iaso flanked him. When the Goblin tried dogging to the left or right it was hit by a dagger. If it chose not to doge it would be hit by Kin's sword. After about five minutes of this strategy and 7 dagger hits and 3 hits with the sword, the Goblin finally died. Kron did the math and it had health anywhere from 16 to 29 health points calculated from the weapon damage alone. But Kron suspected that it had more health than that. With the cuts through the battle and the location of the hits the damage could have been higher or lower, so Kron estimated the health of the Goblin to be somewhere around 40 - 50. With this estimation, they changed their strategy to start and attacking the weak points of a humanoid: head, joints, and organs.

The group subsequently killed nine more Goblins and got the level up message:

Congratulation you have gained a level, for this level you have 5 stat points to distribute.

Kron placed his stat points into Dex, Agi, and Int with a 1, 2, and 2 distribution. The others placed theirs to benefit their roles in the group for the future.

After getting the level up about two hours had passed and so they decided to hunt for two more hours. At the end of two hours of killing individual Goblins, they all three gained one more level and placed their states accordingly. After this, they decided to head further into the forest in search for more Goblins or potential groups of Goblins.

After trenching for some time, they spotted a group of 3 Goblins together walking in a slightly curved path. It looked like they were on patrol. The Group decided that Kin would grab the attention of the Goblins and Kron and Iaso would do extra damage and Iaso would heal when needed. Thought their hunted experience they all found that there were no health indicators other than the state of one's body and no mana indicators, but Iaso said that she could feel her mana inside of her brain as if it was another part of her body. As she had been the only one using her mana so far healing Kin when he is damaged in battle. After going over their plan Kin walked out in front of the patrol of Goblins and started yelling

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

This instantly grabbed the attention of the three Goblins and in retaliation, they all returned the charge. As the goblins were running towards Kin they stated to increase the speed, and at the same time, Kron began to see mana swirling around the Goblins legs.

"Kin, watch out. They are using some sort of charge skill on their legs." Kron said

Kin responded with "Iaso, as soon as I collide with the goblins heal me, I am expecting that at least two of them will hit me. After that continue healing me until I am fully healed."

Iaso with her healing sense could see how much healing one would need to get fully healed. So she did as she was told.

As soon as the Goblins and Kin collided Kron saw that mana in their feet mainly disperse but a small trickle went up to their hands and as they struck Kin the mana expanded outward like a mini explosion. this did cause a fair bit of damage and burning of Kin's skin but Iaso had a heal coming towards Kin before the damage happened, so as soon as the damage was done it was healed.

After the initial charge that battle went rather smoothly, Kin was soaking up the damage well and with Iaso's healing, the battle never turned south. However, these Goblins had an estimated 100-120 Health so they took much longer to kill. After killing the first batch they group went around and killed 4 more before it was time to head into the city.

With the 12 goblins they killed they got 2 more levels each. They distributed their stat points and then headed into the City.
