Rem was having a great time strolling around the city until she sensed a couple of people following her. She walked to an alley with barely any people around and stopped in her tracks.
"What is your reason for following me?" Rem asked.
Nobody answered and after a few seconds, five people in black clothing suddenly surrounded Rem. They used stealth and disguised themselves but these things didn't work on Rem. Rem could sense and see the truth.
'Hmm? What's their purpose?' Rem thought curiously to herself.
Rem didn't need to check their status because she could sense that these people were all around level 50s. One of the blacked-clothed men attacked Rem but Rem dodged his attack.
"Why are you targeting me?" Rem asked.
Once again, nobody answered her.
'Are they assassins? If they are, who would send them to kill me? What did I do..?' Rem felt uneasy.
"Fine. If you aren't going to answer me, I have no choice but to get rid of you." Rem used her shadow chains skill.
Rem used her wind slash and slit their heads off with her dagger. Even though they were all higher level than Rem, Rem had no trouble getting rid of them.
'I didn't want to murder humans but I guess I had to...'
{You Have Leveled Up!}
{You Have Leveled Up!}
{You Have Leveled Up!}
{You Have Leveled Up!}
{You Have Leveled Up!}
'Oh wow... Does killing humans give you more EXP? I mean, their levels were quite high. I'll only kill anyone who is a threat to me. Anyone who gets in my way will die.'
{You Have Gained The Title: Newbie!}
'What's this?'

[Humans Killed: 5]
'Oh... So this just keeps track of how many humans I kill? Great... What's up with the title? Who even created this? The title is just horrible.'
{Congratulations! You have killed a few human beings!}
[+1 Geo Core]
[+1 Magic Stone (Mid Grade)]
'Despite the horrible title, the rewards are pretty good. A mid-grade Magic Stone? Great! Now I can rank up my other elements. What's a Geo Core anyway? Let's see...'
[Allows you to rank up an element (Rank 3 or below).]
[???]
'Seriously??! The question marks... Again??? C'mon! These question marks are driving me crazy... There's school tomorrow... What a pain..!'
{You Will Evolve After Completing The Requirements.}
'Now you tell me? That was kind of late...'
*Sighhh...
'I guess I won't be able to level up anymore unless I evolve... What are the requirements this time?'
[269/1,000 E Rank Mana Stones]
[5/20 Human Kills]
[0/10 Dark Beast Cores]
[0/1 Shadow Leaf]
'These requirements are quite hard to do... The E Rank Mana Stones and killing some humans are no problem for me but how do I even get Dark Beast Cores and a Shadow Leaf? I could get E Rank Mana Stones by grinding in the forest. I could just kill anyone who hurts me... I'm sure there will be more assassins in the future. 002, do you know how to get the Dark Beast Cores and the Shadow Leaf?'
{Yes, of course. You get the Dark Beast Cores from the Dark Wolf Boss. There's a 20 percent chance you will get it from defeating that boss. You can get the Shadow Leaf in the Death Forest. Shadow Leaf is a very rare plant so there will be a guardian who is protecting it. The guardian is the Shadow Falcon and I do not think you are strong enough to defeat it yet.}
'I guess I'll have to get the Shadow Leaf some other way... I'll grind for the E Ranked Mana Stones after school tomorrow. Should I take Karina with me..? I'll go back to my dorm room to check up on the egg.'
•••
Rem was sitting on her bed, thinking.
'I can't leave the egg in my dorm room all the time... Do eggs even get bored? 002, do you know how to hatch an egg?'
{To hatch an egg, you need to feed it certain things. What you have to feed depends on what egg it is. Try inspecting the egg.}
'Alright.' Rem looked at the egg and inspected it.
[An unhatched egg. What could be inside?]
'The description is absolutely horrible...' Rem looked at the egg's requirements.
[269/1,500 E Rank Mana Stones]
[2/100 D Rank Mana Stones]
[0/5 Flame Beast Cores]
'You know what... I'll hatch the egg another time. I have to evolve first. Tomorrow after school... I'll start grinding...'
