[Quest opened:
•Kill ten Fast-Footed Rabbits(0/10)
[Level requirement: 8+]
[Reward: 500 exp]
[Reward: Pardon by Darth, Potential King of The West Candinate]
As quickly as I'd seen the rabbit, it dashed off much faster than I could go. I couldn't even check its status fast enough. Darth looked down at me. "Well? Do you think you can catch it?" He asked.
'Probably. But I'm going to need a lot more than speed. We're going to need to set traps.'
"We've tried that, I'm afraid."
'I thought you might've. But I have something up my sleeve.'
"You don't have sleeves." He furrowed his brow. "How would you know?"
'Whatever. Just hear me out.'
...
I dashed after the rabbit, activating all my skills that had to do with speed and agility. This Fast-Footed rabbit easily moved faster. It turns out that although it has horns, it is not at all related to the horned rabbit. But, I had expected this. With help from Syn, I had devised a few traps (they might not be of the best quality) to get the job done.
Curving tightly and almost losing me, the rabbit ran straight for where I hoped. Tripping over an invisible thread linked between two houses (or might I call them shacks? No offense, Darth.) it fell into a hole layered with flaming thread. With a screech, it burned to death.
[1/10]
Some goblins who'd agreed to this grabbed the edges of the thread which weren't burning and hauled the rabbit away. They would eat anything, even if it was scorched. Pretty desperate or not very picky, that's what the situation said to me anyway.
Soon after, a bunch of angry Fast-Footed rabbits popped out, rabid teeth, big claws, and generally scary looks.
'SYN?' I said, dashing away.
{When Fast-Footed rabbits get angry, their power spikes.} Twisting, I shot a web at them, restraining one before it broke free. Another one rammed me in the shoulder. Nine rabbits ganging up on me? No problem. I might need to use my status points.
'Syn, I don't have time to distribute my points! Can you do it automatically?'
{Yes.}
[Distributing...]
'Where would I be without you?'
{You'd be dead.}
'Fair point.' I said, suddenly feeling a rush of strength and speed. This wave of power helped me break my limits and move even faster, though it didn't help me much with the rabbits. Right now we were running circles around the village, and they were avoiding my traps. It didn't help that my stamina was low.
I spun around, using [Black Thread Creation] and swinging one of the rabbits away. They slammed onto the floor with a thud, and the goblins took the body away.
[2/10]
A rabbit with a blue aura crashed into me, sending me flying. Flipping in the air, I let out a fireball that scathed it. It stumbled, balancing weight on it's other leg. I didn't see anymore because I got flung by another headbutt.

[90/136]
[Pain resistance(low) is lvl.3]
'90 hp left? A few more hits and I'm out for the counting.'
How do I deal with a large crowd? It would be helpful if I could use magic, but I can't so I have to use my skills.

'Combining [Black Thread Creation] and [Demon Flames] in short bursts like a machine gun could reward me. Come to think of it, they haven't been leveling up much. If any rabbits get too close I can use [Bite] and [Kick].'
Spinning around, I spewed out countless [Black Thread Creation] and [Demon Flames] bursts, knocking them out one by one. A few came close, but I either dodged them or kicked them back.
[9/10]
The last one left was a big one. He dashed towards me, a blue aura surrounding him. I countered with [Fiery Headbutt], but it knocked it back like it was nothing. I wobbled, leaving an opening. The rabbit dashed towards me, lifted it's head up, and sent me flying upwards.
[-50]
[40/136]
Thanks to [calm] and Syn, I made the best of the situation by using the speed of falling down as a catapult for [Fiery Headbutt], tripling it's power. I smashed the rabbits head, causing it to cave in. As I landed, I got a few messages.

'Finally...'
"I will hold up my end of the bargain." Darth said, appearing beside me. "The meeting is I'ma few days. Be ready."
[Evolve now?]
[Y/N]
'Nah.. When I get home and I am in a comfortable position, start the process.' I said
[Conditions set.]
Now I had a problem. A meeting. I never attended meetings in my old life. Except for parent teacher conferences and those police dramas my mom always watched.
'Well then, I guess I'll be going now.'
"I look forward to seeing you at the meeting." Darth said.
Sighing, I vanished into the forest.
