"No one can earn my trust..."
[Player nearby: 1]
Grim arrived at the rank-F forest. However, he wasn't alone at this place since he met the blond woman that belonged to the swordman's class.
Two new adventurers randomly gathered in the place that was flooded by numerous trees that had 20 ft tall.
His main plan here was to wouldn't have any kind of interaction with the other adventurers in this game. Yet, it can't be helped with his current situation since he hasn't had enough knowledge to play this game alone.
Grim accepted her party invitation not to make friends. To be exact, he wanted to get some information about this virtual reality game.
The two adventurers were started to wander inside the area. To find a monster that could be added to their experience.
"Grim Draigh? Your screen name is too long for me to spit out, can I call you, Grim? Or Draigh? Which one is possible?" Roshy asked him with a sweet tone.
Yumiro was looking at Roshy while his face didn't show any kind of expression. "Call me, whatever you want. It doesn't matter." He coldly replied as he hadn't been socialized for several years.
"O-Okay? I'll call you Grim..." Roshy smirked at him as she felt being disrespected by this man.
'This man had a bad attitude?! I'm trying to be nice to him as much as possible. If it's just not for my family company, I'll never do this.' She annoyingly uttered to her mind.
Squeek!
And all of a sudden, both of them heard a suspicious sound. So they darted their eyes at it, to find the origin of the sound.
After a couple of seconds, they easily discovered that the sound was coming from the high bushes. Aside from that, they already see the monster was taunted to leap directly to them.
Roshy widely spread her arms and said. "Grim, there's a monster in front of us." She warned the man next to her, and eventually, she frowned her brows. As she noticed something with him. "Grim the monster is approaching us! Why don't you pull out your weapon?" Roshy said with a hasty tone.
Grim cluelessly shook his head and stolid expression. "I don't have any weapon here. I don't know the reason but I can't find it..."
Inside Roshy's mind, she picked a wrong party member. She thought Grim Draigh is one of those careless adventurers who already lost their weapons even though they didn't succeed to attain some levels.

Yumiro wanted to dash directly at the monster's location, not too far away from them. At the same time, he was optimistic that he could win this monster.
"Another black rabbit, huh? I wonder is this the only monster in this place." While dashing Yumiro saw Roshy appeared in front of him, then widely spread her left arm seemed wanted to stop from his swift pace.
"Grim, let me handle this monster. You're not capable at this point." She smirked at him, seemingly her decent appearance before quickly transformed into an aggressive woman.
He slightly knitted his forehead, but he accepted the fact this woman was stronger than him. Furthermore, she was already Lvl.4 adventurer, it just was his thoughts.
"O-Okay?" He replied in a low voice, then stepped back in the place where he could fully watch Roshy how she'll fight the monster.
Roshy was facing the black rabbit that had an aggressive expression on its face. Standing in the place surrounded by the high bushes, trees, and firm rocks.
She withdrew her keen sword that had a black handle and was looked like a katana could slash any flesh in an instant.
Swoosh!
The Black rabbit made the first move, as it widely swung its claw. Also, it was a sign that the battle between the adventurer and the monster was started.
However, even Roshy had seen the monster was directly attacking her. She remained in current her position and doing nothing. It looked like, she was confident she surely blocked the attack.
She just raised her swords in split second.
Clang!
Sounds like, two metals had screeched to each other. Also, the monster's claw had the toughness same as the sword that could last from the battle.
Yet, Roshy wasn't satisfied with the strength given by the black rabbit.
"Tch! Weak."
She easily pushed back the monster's claw into mid-air and succeeded to destroy the monster's fighting stance.
The monster's arms were sent into the mid-air. After Roshy noticed the black rabbit couldn't back its defensive posture. She barely lowered her upper body and positioned her hand on her waist. As she taunted to wield her sword.
Roshy murmured unfamiliar words out of her mouth and immediately swung her sword towards the monster. It was looked like slicing the thin air without seeing any target in front of her.
Swish!
Her sword was permeated directly at the monster's neck. As a result, its head was brutally separated from its body without hearing any sounds.
Green sticky blood splashes on Roshy's face, yet, she looked was used to it.
His eyes were widened after he witnessed how Roshy defeated the monster in just one swing of her katana.
"I admitted, she's stronger than me" And at the same time, he asked himself. "That's her skill?" Somehow, he was eager to obtain some skill.
[You've received 33 EXP from killing the black rabbit!]
Since he was joined Roshy's party, the experience they will receive probably divided into two.
How Yumiro received an experience without doing anything? It had a simple answer once the members of your party killed a monster you immediately received an EXP that will be divided based on how many were in your party. But the adventurer who killed the monster first would receive a higher EXP than the others. However, it had limitations, the adventurers should step in the 50 meters radius to obtain it.
Then some of the Adventurer used it to earn real money. This usually happened in the VR world. If the adventurer had a lower level they will hire a strong adventurer to create a party with them. Once it is settled, all the hired adventurers will do their job to weaken the monsters until their HP drops by 1% and the adventurers who hired them will take the last hit to received higher EXP. In exchange, the adventurer who hired them will pay real money in the real world. This is a job well known in the VR world as "Experience Boosting."
"Hey, Grim! How do you want to split the monster's core?" She yelled while her grasp had the red gleaming crystal.
"You can take it. It doesn't matter at all since you're the one who killed that monster." He replied, and started to be cautious as he heard hardly stomped on the surface. It seemed the monsters were heading to their location.
"Roshy, be ready the monsters are approaching." Yumiro said with a weak tone.
She lifted her eyebrows and gazed around to search the area if there are signs of the monster's existence. "He probably hallucinating." She thought then eventually come closer to Yumiro even she didn't believe his words.
"Be ready." He murmured again and based on his expression he wasn't lying.
She was clueless about the situation, but it can't help to didn't grasp her sword just to be assured.
"What are you talking abo..." Suddenly, she decided to wouldn't complete her words as she already heard the multiple stomped of the monster's feet.
"You gotta be kidding me? How he can tell there are monsters in 70-80 meters of distance." She thought.
Then she started to prepare herself since the 70-80 meters distance was enough for her to get ready.
"Grim, just stay in your place. Let me handle these two." And again, Roshy didn't give Yumiro a chance to fight the monster.
The two monsters that were headed to them came from a different place since they were respawning from their allocated spots.
As soon as the monsters charged to Roshy, she immediately erased the monster's existence from the VR world.
Swish!
