Chapter 11 - Sometimes Luck Just Isn't On Our Side

The other three players cursed in their minds, 'What easy? We damaged it a lot already of course it would be easy, but I guess he did help us. If not we would've died there and he would've gain a lot more'.

A blonde haired man spoke, "Thank you for helping us, is there anyway we can help you?".

Sid pondered a bit, he shook his head and then he said, "Lily what do you think?".

"How about you give us ten bear meat and also some of that horned bear".

The blonde haired man pondered, 'He did help us, and we would've gained nothing'.

The blonde haired man spoke, "Well then we can at least do that much, we've been hunting bears for a long time already so we have a lot of bear meat" but obviously though he was just bragging. What hunting bears for a long time? They haven't even played this game for more than two days.

Sid asked, "Anyway seeing the bodies of the other players, can I ask how he got a bow?" while he pointed at a body holding a bow.

The blonde haired man answered, "He said he crafted it by using some sticks and a string or something, I don't really know much".

Seeing that he couldn't get anymore benefits from them Sid asked, "Would you like me to escort you back to the village?".

Hearing that Lily glared at the players, but instead of thinking that she was angry they thought that she was kind of cute.

The blonde haired man spoke, "I don't think that she wants us to go with you though".

Sid looked at Lily and was about to say something, but he was interrupted by one of the twins beside the blonde haired man.

He said, "It's fine, if we think about it in another perspective we will only be a burden to you".

Sid ponded a bit before he asked, "Do all of you agree?".

The other two pondered for a few seconds before they nodded in sync, like they were truly the perfect party a player could ever ask for.

Time passed, Sid and Lily thought that they can go back home earlier than last time as they didn't need to find ten animals separately.

'It seems that helping others will also benefit you, sometimes at least', is what Sid thought.

When he was about to take another step forward, he heard some movements around them. He moved in front of Lily to protect her, but based on the movements around them he thought 'I don't think I can protect her by myself'.

Sid glanced at Lily before he asked, "Lily can you fight?".

Lily answered, "Yes I can". Lily turned around and drew a magic circle, she then waited for the animals to come out.

Sid spoke, "Don't use fire magic, we might burn the forest".

Lily retorted, "But you used fire magic yesterday".

Sid didn't speak, he felt that he couldn't think of any excuse so he decided just to be silent like an assassin.

Lily spoke, "I knew you wouldn't be able to...".

Awoo!

A wolf howled, a wolf jumped toward Lily. She reacted by casting "Fire Arrows!".

Woosh!

The arrow directly hit the wolf's head, blood splattered and it's body fell to the ground.

[Lily Killed A Wolf +8 Exp]

In Sid's side a wolf also appeared, and he used the magic circle he made on himself "Speed Boost!".

[-10 Mana]

Sid dodged to the side and then he used [False Punch], he hit target the wolf's head.

[-20 Stamina]

[You Dealt 100 Damage To A Wolf]

[You Killed A Wolf +10 Exp]

When he killed the wolf he noticed that he got exp from the wolf Lily killed, 'Does that mean I can get exp from the monsters an NPC kills?'. An idea sprouted inside Sid's mind, but now wasn't the time so he put it at the back of his head.

Awoo!

A wolf howled and four more wolves attacked, two on Sid's side and two on Lily's side.

Sid drew two magic circles, he used "Fire Arrow!".

Woosh!

One of the two wolves that was charging at him was killed in an instant.

[-10 Mana]

[Dealt 100 Damage To A Wolf]

[You Killed A Wolf +10 Exp]

Sid did a roundhouse kick and hit the head of the wolf, he did some damage and he used [False Punch]. He turned around to see Lily's condition, but it seemed that all his worries were all for nothing when he saw her perfectly fine.

[-5 Stamina]

[You Dealt 30 Damage To A Wolf]

[-20 Stamina]

[You Dealt 100 Damage To A Wolf]

Around five minutes passed, Sid and Lily were now covered in sweat. Everytime a wolf howls another batch of wolves will charge at them, and what's worse is that they are now exhausted.

Sid only had [20/220 Mana], [5/160 Stamina], but at least his health was still full [160/160]. Lily was an NPC so it was heard for Sid to think of her status, well at least until he finds out about a magic that can do that.

'Why is there no Potions in this game, I'll check the internet later if there are and if there's none I don't think I can do things solo anymore'.

Awoo!

A wolf howled, but this time instead of an increase in the number of wolves that appeared, a silver furred wolf showed itself. Beside the Silver Wolf were another two grey wolves.

Lily uttered in shock, "Why is there a Silverwind Wolf here?". When one looked closer they would notice that Lily was slightly trembling.

Awoo!

The Silverwind Wolf howled once more and he commanded the two wolves beside it to charge at Sid and Lily.
