Waking up the next day fully rested. She eats breakfast and feeds her cat.

As she looks at her chart, when she receives a message from Fenrir.
- Hi Fenrir, I just logged in. What level are you?
- I am level 5 and you are?
- 9.
- Wow, how did you do it? It's so hard to mob. And the village chief's quests give little xp.
- Their quests are like tutorials, it's better to take quests with others.
- Like, nobody can do it.
- How do you treat them? Like only npc?
- And they are not that?
- Almost. A tip, treat them like people. Be polite, don't treat them like things.
- Got it. Thank you, sir.
- No problem, it's no big secret. - She says goodbye and walks towards the village. -
- Arriving at the village after three days of gambling, it was quite crowded and noisy. She walks towards the tavern, which is empty. When the boss sees her, he gives her a happy smile.
- Boss, I have completed the quest.
- Wonderful. You have exceeded my expectations.

A good smell comes from the kitchen, the cook comes with two plates in his hand and smiles
- It's my best creation. Come and have a taste.
- Thank you, chef. - She takes one of the plates and tastes it. -
System: You ate stuffed venison steak.
You earned 300 Xp in Cooking.
You got +5 points in each attribute.
- What you thought.
- The best food I have ever eaten.
- You must understand, for good food you must have good products and know how to cook well.
- I understand, chef. Well, I'm going boss, thank you for the food.
Leaving the tavern, he wastes no time in delivering the other quest.
The seamstress is very happy to see the skin. So much so that she forgets about it, gets the reward and a boot.
He returns to replenish and repair equipment. She sees the dog approaching her. How it collects its promise.
- You're right on time, I got what I promised.
She sets up a fire and starts preparing the food. The dog stares, wagging its tail happily.
The smell attracts people, who observe the unusual scene. The dog and the elf. While she was doing this, Fenrir calls her.
- Hi Aelyn, are you busy?
- Not much, what happened?
- I got a quest, which can be shared. Do you want to do it with me?
- No problem, why don't you come here? I'm doing something here.
- Sure. Where is it?
- Near the south exit. - She sends a group to him and gives the lead.
Before long Fenrir arrives. He looks surprised at the whole situation, where a street dog was eating a plate of meatballs.
- Sorry for the delay.
- It didn't take long, I was keeping a promise.
- It seems that he likes you.
- He likes my food better. - She smiles and puts the materials away. -
The two leave the village in the direction of the south of the village, there was a forest with a higher concentration of wolves. The quest was simple and complicated at the same time.
Finding the place was easy, but the complicated part was to finish.
You had to kill the king of the wolves and bring back his head.
Arriving close to the place a small commotion could be seen.
- Go far away from here. This up place belongs to Impacts.
- Come on, when it has an owner here.
- It is now, our guild will upgrade here. Find another place if you want to die! - This guy's friends pull a gun. -
- What's going on there, Aelyn?
- Territory disputes. - Fenrir doesn't understand, she looks at him and sighs. -
- You never really played. Well... The simplest way to level is mobbing. But the proportion of players is much higher than mobs, so there are disputes.
I see.
- It seems, that the guilds have already started to act. - The guild group looks at them hostile. - Let's go before it gets ugly. -
The two of them enter the forest, keeping out any animals that attack. She finds herbs and other ingredients good for cooking, seizes the moment and begins to collect everything. After a few minutes they reach an area of the forest darker and with stronger monsters.
- Let's go here for a while.
- Why?
- We need to eat. - She smiles, opens her inventory, looking for the item. She takes out a few things and hands over meatballs and cups of refreshment. She looks at the effects and is surprised.
- This is very good. Did you get this from being a chef?
- Sort of, I did a quest and got this recipe as a reward. Let's not waste time, eat the meatballs and leave the drink for when you have no MP. -He agrees and eats meatballs, he feels an energy circulate his body and can feel that he was stronger. -
Server warning: Everyone congratulate Arthur for being the first player to reach level 10.
- Wow, someone reached it fast.
- Really, I thought it would be faster. But leveling in this game is hard.
- Yes, now the cities and class choices are free. Well, let's not fall behind.
- Yes, let's go.
In this part of the forest the wolves had a black coat with red eyes. Since they already had a good understanding of past fights, they began the slaughter without much difficulty. The two were synchronized, taking little damage as they took down each enemy.
- Wow, you have improved a lot since the last time we played together. - She looks at him in admiration, he is a little embarrassed, he scratches his head a little shy, looks to the side.
- Well, it's not that I don't know how to play. It's just that I haven't played for many years, the last one I played wasn't that immersive. It took a little while to get the hang of it, you know?
- I understand, new games take a while to get used to. What was the game you played before?
- It was Black Desert 2, you know?
- I heard about it, it was very good. But I didn't get a chance to play. What class were you?
- It was a fighter type class.
- Does that explain some things?
- Like what? - He gets a little confused and looks at her without understanding. -
- Because you're so good at fighting.
- Oh yeah. And you, what game did you play?
- It wasn't such a famous game, it was called Hero. And I was a priest.
- That's a pretty drastic change. - He smiles along with her. -
- A little bit, I still like long distance classes. I don't have a good handle on the close combat class.
- Well, I'll take care of that part.
- I'm counting on you.
