In the middle of an open field near a forest Miwako and Hasegawa were outside, looking like they were waiting for something.
Miwako was fully focused on the forest while Hasegawa was starting to show a little concern about the situation.
Amidst that silence that seemed to last longer and longer, Hasegawa finally decided to speak
"Hey, they're taking a while. We've heard a few howls recently and they should be gone by now" (Hasegawa)
Miwako continued to look intently into the forest and replied Hasegawa
"As much as we can see his health bars, Makoto lost some HP, probably he and Takafumi must be fighting with some wolf that was separated from his pack" (Miwako)
And a silence again formed between the two.
Until Takafumi came out of the forest and then Makoto, taking a potion of life recovery with his arm and having a bite on it. But that was soon healed along with the clothes that had been torn
"Hah! It's them!"(Hasegawa)
Takafumi looked at the two and yelled
"Now!" (Takafumi)
"It's the signal, get ready!"(Miwako)
"Understood!" (Hasegawa)
Miwako who was in the open field, drew her bow ready to shoot
Meanwhile, Hasegawa began to prepare a spell with his staff in hand glowing purple.
Soon, a large number of wolves came out of the forest, running towards Takafumi and Makoto.
Miwako seeing the wolves, quickly shot several arrows in sequence in the direction of the wolves.
Some wolves were killed with shots to the head, neck and body, while others continued to run, dodging Miwako's projectiles.
Hasegawa with her staff shining brighter and brighter, she raised it and said aloud
"Cast magic, sleepy!" (Hasegawa)
And then after a few seconds, the remaining wolves that were running after Takafumi and Makoto fell to the ground and stopped moving.
"Makoto, let's go!" (Takafumi)
"Understood!" (Makoto)
Takafumi and Makoto turned around and ran towards the wolves.
Getting close enough, Takafumi and Makoto started attacking the wolves that were lying on the ground.
Takafumi with his sword started to pierce them in the head. killing them instantly
Makoto with two hands, plunged his dagger into the necks of the wolves, doing a very high damage and killing them almost instantly.
When Makoto killed the first wolf, a screen appeared in front of him.
[Items Obtained: ∆ [Wolf Flesh] (2), ∆ [Wolf Skin] (3)
Makoto stared at that screen for a little while, until Takafumi started talking.
"Makoto, if you don't use enough force, you won't be able to kill the wolves with one attack!" (Takafumi)
Makoto then seemed to have regained his concentration, and soon closed that screen and ran to the next wolf.
"There's even that in this game!?"(Makoto)
Killing a few more wolves that quickly dissipated into white smoke, Makoto continued to close the screens that were appearing.
Until in one of the screens, he received one more item than before. Holding your attention a little
[Items Obtained: ∆ [Wolf Flesh] (1), ∆ [Wolf Skin] (2), ∆ [Ring of Empowerment] (1)
Looking at that screen, Makoto realized that he had received one more item than before.
(Ring of Empowerment? What is it?)
And then some more wolves came out of the forest, this time running towards Makoto who was distracted by the screen that had appeared.
"Makoto, watch out!" (Takafumi)
"Huh?" (Makoto)
Makoto then looked towards the forest, seeing some wolves heading towards him showing those sharp teeth and with a murderous look.
"Arrow rain!" (Miwako)
Miwako shot a large amount of arrows with incredible speed, which passed over Makoto towards the wolves. Killing almost all of them, there was only one of them left who continued to run towards Makoto.
Makoto then ran towards the wolf.
The wolf jumped towards you
"Ha!" (Makoto)
Makoto managed to pierce the wolf's belly.
Unfortunately he was unable to remove the dagger and it remained in the wolf's belly.
The wolf fell to the ground with the impact of the attack but soon got up. And then when he started to run towards him again, an arrow hit the wolf in the head. That quickly dissipated in white smoke
"Nice Shot Miwako"(Hasegawa)
"Fufu, an easy target"(Miwako)
With that wolf dead, yet another screen appeared in front of Makoto.
[Quest {Kill 15 Wolves In Any Forest} Completed]
Makoto looked at Hasegawa and Miwako who started to cheer, looking like the same screen that had appeared for him had also appeared for them.
With the Quest completed, Makoto then fell to the ground in complete exhaustion.
(How tired, my dagger is still too weak for wolves of that level)
"Makoto, good job" (Takafumi)
Next to Makoto was Takafumi extending her hand to him with that usual smile.
"It seems that it was difficult for you too, are games nowadays usually like that?" (Makoto)
Makoto then took Takafumi's hand and stood up with his help.
"You get used to it" (Takafumi)
"And now, what happens next?" (Makoto)
"Now we're going to go back to the guild and finish the Quest, and only then will you earn the Quest Exp" (Takafumi)
"I understand" (Makoto)
After hearing this Makoto went to his dagger that was on the ground and took it back.
Miwako and Hasegawa approached the two
"For the first time playing, you weren't bad" (Miwako)
And she immediately punched Makoto in the arm after speaking
"ouch" (Makoto)
"I wonder, what happened for you to come out of the forest with an injured arm?" (Hasegawa)
Makoto let out a quick Ah and then started scratching his face as he looked away.
"Oh my arm, it's kind of complicated-"(Makoto)
Interrupting Makoto in his speech, Takafumi said
"He was distracted by a dead animal on the ground and a nearby wolf bit his arm" (Takafumi)
Miwako and Hasegawa soon started laughing at Makoto, who was embarrassed and embarrassed.
"That animal was very realistic!!! I was just surprised by it..." (Makoto)
"Well, in the end we just spent a few arrows and a stamina recovery potion, until it wasn't that bad" (Takafumi)
"Can we go back to town soon? I'm getting tired of this" (Makoto)
"Of course, of course"(Miwako)
"We're done right here" (Hasegawa)
After making fun of Makoto some more about what happened, he and the others returned to town.
10:07 AM
Heading towards the guild, they found a crowd of players gathered in a square.
"Oh, looks like it's going to start soon" (Miwako)
"What will start?" (Takafumi)
"An Event" (Miwako)
"Event?" (Hasegawa/Makoto)
"Didn't I tell you? There's going to be an event around here" (Miwako)
"It's true, it will happen at 12:00 in this square" (Takafumi)
The three looked at Takafumi who was playing in the wind as he swiped his fingers, appearing to be touching his screen.
"They sent a notification to all the players, people who were too busy with the wolves and we didn't see it" (Takafumi)
"'Players will receive rewards according to their rank, the higher your rank the more rewards you will receive..." (Hasegawa)
Hasegawa's eyes began to glow as she looked at the screen.
"Let's do this event! Makoto will you join too?" (Hasegawa)
Makoto, being the only one who still didn't open the screen, looked at Hasegawa who had those bright eyes and they were focused directly on him, made a quick decision.
"Sure, why not? I have nothing to do today" (Makoto)
Hasegawa jumped for joy with a quick "yay" after Makoto agreed to participate in the event.
Meanwhile, Takafumi and Miwako, who were a little farther away from the two, were whispering about something
"I know that at least one wolf he can handle with a little difficulty, but... Can he do it?" (Takafumi)
"I don't know, for now we'll see how many levels he will go up when we finish the Quest, by then we can have a good idea about it" (Miwako)
"Well thought out" (Takafumi)
Continuing a little further, the four arrived at the guild and went to the npc attendant who was behind the counter and finished the Quest.
By the time they finished the Quest, Makoto had gone up 27 levels and received an automatic payment for the Quest. Hasegawa had also gone up 1 level higher
After Makoto said how many levels he had gone up, Takafumi and Miwako started whispering again
"So? He went up 26 levels with that, what do you think?" (Miwako)
"Sounds good, he can come with us"(Takafumi)
"I think the same too" (Miwako)
after Takafumi has been explaining some things to Makoto for a while, he can put his 25 levels to good use on some things
[Available Points] (25) > (0)
{Vitality} (8) > (18)
{Strength} (13) > (17)
{Dexterity} (16) > (20)
{Resistance} (14) > (18)
{Intelligence} (12) > (15)
{Faith} (5)
Makoto was looking intently at the screen with the points he had put into his character stat.
"I gave more value to my vitality and tried to match it with stamina as you asked, I hope it helps me more in the fight" (Makoto)
"Don't worry, I noticed your fighting style and the flaws you had when we did that quest, now you should be much better than before" (Takafumi)
"Well, I'll tell you about it" (Makoto)
And then Hasegawa came close to the two with bright eyes again.
"Guys, let's go to the square soon, the event is about to start" (Hasegawa)
After Hasegawa said that, Makoto looked at the corner of his screen.
11:02 AM
He had spent almost an hour trying to get his best status settings as Takafumi said
"It's still a little early. We can go there when it's 11:25, until then wait a bit" (Takafumi)
Hasegawa held Takafumi's hand with brighter eyes than before.
"It won't happen, we'll go there now" (Hasegawa)
"Wait what you-"(Takafumi)
Hasegawa started dragging Takafumi forcibly from there while repeating the same phrase
"We will go to the venue" (Hasegawa)
"Stop, I can't let go... How are you stronger than me?!"(Takafumi)
Takafumi with his attempts to free himself failed, Hasegawa managed to drag him closer to the stairs.
And then he started to hold on to the stair rail trying to hold on to Hasegawa's strength.
"Makoto help me, quick, I don't think I'll last long!" (Takafumi)
Makoto got up and went to Takafumi
"You know... I also want to go see what this event has" (Makoto)
"Wait what are you going to do?" (Takafumi)
Makoto started to take Takafumi's fingers off the banister.
"No, stop, don't do that. Miwako, help me!" (Takafumi)
Miwako who was standing in the corner, looked at Hasegawa, looked at Makoto, and then at Takafumi.
"It won't happen" (Miwako)
"Nooo!" (Takafumi)
Makoto, who seemed to be having fun with that, was already removing Takafumi's 3rd finger from the handrail
"See you later" (Makoto)
"Wait, this isn't what you're doing isn't because I still owe you right?" (Takafumi)
Makoto then gave Takafumi a brief smile, a smile that showed to be scary and with another intention behind it.
"Oh of course not... As I said before, I just want to go see this event that will happen" (Makoto)
"How scary! You're clearly taking revenge on me!" (Takafumi)
"You better pay me soon" (Makoto)
"No, no, wait" (Takafumi)
"Goodbye" (Makoto)
Makoto then removed all of Takafumi's fingers from the ladder causing him to continue to be dragged down the ladder by Hasegawa who seemed to only have his eye on the event's prize.
"Nooooo!!!" (Takafumi)
After Takafumi continued to be dragged by Hasegawa, Makoto who was on the second floor looked at Miwako, and then started down the stairs.
"I'll wait for you there, don't be late" (Makoto)
"No problem" (Miwako)
Makoto left the second floor, leaving Miwako there with the Npc.
