"What the hell?" Fudo asked with a confused expression.
It wasn't unexpected to find an NPC out in the middle of Stone Creek forest or any other resource map. In fact, Sato had previously seen a few players escorting NPCs here before. It was just that, unlike the other NPCs, this one was a bit strange. Most NPCs found in resource maps would have an expression of fear from luckily escaping a monster, or would be wandering around the place battling monsters or searching for something. This one, on the other hand, was just standing still. It didn't look like he was looking for something but rather he was lost. Of course, finding a lost NPC isn't such a problem as if players approach them with the right attitude, they could get a mission from them. The problem was the vibe the man gave. He looked to be lost but also not lost; rather it seemed more like he was waiting for somebody.
"What do we do?" Fudo asked Sato.
