On the outskirts of the village Hinde, Yulsa was running towards the forest nearby to scout some green-horned rabbits, his first quest.
"Now, now. Where are you at lil' ones? Come show yourself." He mumbled under his breath.
He slowly crept into the bushes and concealed himself as much as he can; to not scare the nearby green-horned rabbit if there's one.
"Ho?"
[Green-Horned Rabbit lvl.2]
Health: 75
He spotted one.
The green-horned rabbit is currently eating a dead body of a small bird, tearing its petite body with its sharp two fangs.
"Stay... Stay..."
Yulsa took his bow on his back and put the arrow on the bowstring, and pulled it out, and aim the crosshair at the creature.
Wiss~!
The arrow whistled in low audible sound. The creature senses manage to detect the incoming threat, unfortunately, he can't dodge it, the arrow already been impaled on its head.
+2exp!
[Hunt The Rabbits!]
Objective: Kill 10 Green-horned Rabbits (1/10)
Reward: 25 Arrows.

The small interface on his eyes sight changed. The quest displayed his progress which 1/10.
"Yosh! To another one!!"
He didn't forget to collect the Green-horned loots which only its hides and some bone fragments before scouting another one.
Yulsa continued to hunt the little creatures until the last remaining quest he got.
["Hunt The Rabbits!" has been completed. Please pass the quest to Instructor Ryan to collect the rewards!!]
After completing the quest, he immediately took the road trail back to the village. He looked at his stats as he walks.

His progress is steady, and his planning to keep it that way.
"Uhmmm... Where am I?"
He was lost, when he'd notice that his been circling around the unknown part of the forest.
Dragon Online developers really stepping towards the idea of having a free world. There's no annoying arrow to instruct you of where should you go, it's all by yourself.
And it means it'd to be your fault for being lost by yourself, not the game.
"I should head back and try to remember where I went."
Taking his U-turn back to his last kill locations, he tried to spot some resemblance of what route did he use.
"..."
Yep, he's lost again.
"DA FUCK WITH THIS SENSE OF LOCATION I HAD!!!"
He shouted in frustration and walked hastily back to the crossing he had just taken earlier ago. And it seems he's lost again... Again and again.
"Is there no teleportation stone in this game?" He whispered in despair.
He was now sitting beside a tree resting to restore his fatigue. But-
"Grrrrr"
It seems rest is unlikely for now.
A pack of wolves emerged to the bushed nearby!
The packs consisted of 7 adult wolves. Their furs are grey, and their white fangs bare towards him - ready to tear him apart.
[Grey Wolves lv. 4]
Health: 240
Three of the wolves are level 4 while the rest is only at level 3.
Seeing such levels compare to him, he can't help but grimace for what outcomes could happen. There's a 90% chance of him dying.
Although that was the case, he should still try to retaliate back the monster attack.
He was a Marksman, and Marksman doesn't engage in close-combat battles. He could just kite the groups and shot an arrow and repeat.
Marksman excels at being fast, so he could somehow outrun these agility type monsters.
So he did-
Yulsa has the basic knowledge of kiting even though he was a tank on MMORPG on his last mobile game. His friend gives him some tips on how it works.
In typical retro games, mobs have the basic command. Attack when the enemy is nearby. A simple logic, with simple mechanics.
But 2D games have some slight error on that because when the mobs attack you, they have no followed command attack, they would just simply stand where the last spot they had detected you and to another one after it. Stockpiling with each other. That's all.
That explanation has no purpose if you've had notice... Only some insight into how the game works between 2D and 3D.
This game is both logical and illogical in some ways. So if he was right, they should follow him like a real predator. After all, this is a 3D realistic game, a virtual game on top of that.
And he was right.
Soon he and the wolves chase one another, him being the prey.
Now did you remember the 2D attack system? They can attack the player at the same time stockpiling each other bodies.
So the opposite result of 3D or virtual game monsters should be organized logically!
Like real wolves, they attack one by one! Which gives Yulsa a timing between their attack pattern.
Dodge and shot.
A simple strategy, have an effective result!
This is a virtual game, and a logical way of attacking is must be implied with each other!
A pack of wolves is notorious for attacking helpless prey in accordance with each other plan flawlessly.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but be thankful that this kind of organize monster the one who found him!
If a group of monsters who only knew how to attack without cooperation with each other, he must've died right at the beginning without retaliation!!
"Come!! I take ALL!!!"
Yulsa shouted after dodging the wolf who attempt to tear his foot and took an arrow and release it towards its body.
-43!
