He was riding through a barren wasteland, not quite a desert. The ground was hard, there were some trees and vegetation, but scant. The monsters populating this place were mostly ox-like creatures that attacked by charging their enemy using their horned heads. The monsters were around level 30 and were called Hulking Oxbeast.
This monster was not on his hunting list but he made time to kill at least one simply to collect its data into his Monster Book.
As he continued on this wasteland, he suddenly noticed a blue dot on his radar. A player?
"Peniel, you mentioned there is a large city nearby where we are going, right? Are we close already?"
"No, we are still around three days from our destination. That city is another two days away after that. Why?"
