I looked toward where the sound came from and saw a girl running from a park of five black furred wolves. The girl was dressed in clothes that you would normally see in a fantast style priestess robe. She had long raven black hair that framed her panicked looking face with a pair of scarlet red eyes. Right now I have two choices which is to either help her of leave her for died and walk away. As missed up as it is I was leaning more towards the first option until I saw something that made me change my mind. In the pack I found out that the highest level is 5 while she is a level 3 herself. Thus if her appearance is not just some trick then if we worked together we could have a shot. Besides it is not like the death penalty really maters to a noob like me anyways so there is no loss on my end. My decision made I got into stance as I waited for them to get into range for my initial strike. Finally the girl and two wolfs were about two feet from me when I threw my knife catching one of them in the eye. As for the other I ran passed my newly met damsel and sent my foot into its neck.
Seeing that someone actually came to her rescue a the visibly relaxed so I yelled at her to get ready to fight. My words proved effective as once I was done she quickly cast a buffing spell on me enhancing my attack and speed. Before the other three caught up I managed to get my dagger back killing the first two. At last the other three joined up with us but did not jump in rather just stood at the side. My guess they are trying to see what I will do next and I of course was also doing the same. While my partner remained standing behind me feeling the tension in the air between the four of us. Since I do not have any skills to help me out here so I could only wait for a chance to kill them. Silence filled the air as neither side moved until the wind blow rustling some leaves pulling the wolves attention. Having got my chance I move faster than they could react as for who was my target it was the one with the highest level. Quickly I arrived at its back stabbing my dagger into its neck. When I did the wolf began to flail around as it was letting out howls of pain. The it struggled the deeper my blade went as I twisted it.
Seconds later after our struggle went on for a while the wolf finally dropped dead causing the others to scattered. When they were finally far enough I got a system notice.

Alright no only did I level up twice but I also got my first skill which will make my future fights a hell of a lot easier. More importantly I discovered that you boost non class related stats by doing certain actions. The same appears to also apply to my skills as well. My train of thought was soon interrupted by a gentle some what nervous voice coming from my side. "Excuse me sir but I must thank you for saving me just now" said miss damsel while looking at the ground. Now that I got a good look at her I must admit that it was a good thing that I saved her. After all as shameless as it is my family motto is beauties and children must be protected. Of course leaving a man to fend for himself is a sign of respect. At least that is what my grandfather would always tell me ever since I was a small child. Back to the girl who is the very definition of being a ten with sweet face that screams girl next door and perfectly balanced figure. The more I looked at her the more I began to pray that even if she is a NPC that I can still hook up with her.
After barely stopping myself from drooling I replied back to her by saying, "don't worry about it after all what kind of man would I be to not help such a beauty". Seeing that her only response was a nod I went on to ask what is her name.
"Right, how rude of me to not introduce myself to my savior. It is a pleasure to meet you my name is Elizabeth and I am the proud priestess of the goddess of the night, Nyx" Elizabeth introduced. Right as she finished talking a small screen appeared in front of me.
[Quest- Temple of the night: Escort Elizabeth to the true temple of Nyx safely and you will be rewarded greatly. Difficulty Rank: S]
When I was done reading the contents of my new quest I could not help but feel this game jut loves to throw curve balls. In game every quest is given a rank to show how hard it is with the lowest being F and the highest S. Now imagine my surprise to see that the first quest I ever received is a S rank. Going by my current level and skills it should be impossible for me to get close to completing the quest. As I was thinking about how to refuse the quest Elizabeth grabbed my hands squeezing her breasts together. Damn are those things absurdly big. I guess my choice was made for me so I quickly accepted the quest. Before heading out we went over where we will be heading to get to the temple. As it turns out getting there is actually pretty easy but still there is probably more that I don't know yet.
Still since I am a proud man of my word I followed her as we made our way through the forest and as we did I leveled up. So far I have been making some pretty go progress with my level now 8. I also gained the stealth skill which is a must have for any self respecting assassin or man of culture. Thus our journey went like on until finally we made it to a massive black building that merged with the night while remaining distinguishable. The air around seemed to be both peaceful while at the same time welcoming. My originally option I had when Elizabeth first explained that she is a priestess serving Nyx I thought it would be more evil. Regardless I decided to just go with the follow to see what will happen.
