After Louis left the city lord's mansion he looked like a soulless dead man walking. He came here with the intention of making money, but got robbed instead. His all wealth and money plummeted into nothing and he became penniless because of that bastard city lord. He can't help but curse at him.
"Fuck you, you corrupted city lord. I hope you die miserably." Louis cursed all he could.
However, he got over it soon enough. Nothing gonna change with complaining. For now, his goal is to earn 5 gold somehow. Now that he became penniless, he can't even buy some items to show in his new shop. Thinking about his empty shop he can't help but get depressed again.
Doing trade is an option. But it's the beginning phase of the game so most of the trade happens with the bronze coin so he decided to do some mischievous quest to earn some cash as well as some items to sell.
In this early stage, equipment is the most attractive item in the player shop. So Louis found some quest that can also get him some equipment to sell.
[Quest]
Kill the wolves lurking around the town and bring back the fur of the wolves.
Difficulty: Easy
Grade: F
Reward: 200 experience points and 10 bronze coins per fur.
[Quest]
Get rid of the bandits looting people coming to the town.
Difficulty: Easy
Grade: E
Reward: 500 experience points.
Louis set out with these quests. He left the town and went to a nearby forest to search for some monsters and mobs. The forest was quite dense with greenery and this forest is the one that leads to the nearest city Arnor, which is why bandits lurk around in this forest to loot people coming to Hwen town or going out of it.
"Huff huff this is the problem of this game. It's way too realistic. It's good that I do exercises and got more stamina than others. But I am already feeling a bit tired of searching around the forest. If it's any other they would already run out of energy."
After searching around for a while Louis finally found a wolf eating some other dead animal.
"Finally found a prey." Louis smiled maliciously.
[Normal wolf]
Level: 3
Louis used one of his beginner necromancer skills "Skeleton Soldier Summon" hiding behind the bush.
5 Skeleton soldiers came out of the earth with worn out swords or dirty shields. Their eye socket was burning with green light looking hideous.
Skeleton Soldier Summon
Type: Summon
Level: 1
Proficiency: 0.0%
Cost: 100 mana
CD: 300 sec
Skill Description
Unearth 5 skeletal soldiers from the dirt to fight by your side.
Louis ordered 2 skeleton soldiers to hide and surround the wolf while it still haven't noticed. The 2 skeleton soldiers start moving slowly behind the bush and started surrounding the wolf.
"The skeleton soldiers are only level 1 but if you use them strategically you can get more out of them than using them only for direct confrontation. Also, it's easier to control fewer skeleton soldiers than a horde or an army. That's what I learned after playing Fantasia for so long."
The skeleton soldier was almost done surrounding but the wolf heard the sound of the bush from one of the skeletons.
"Shit. This foolish skeleton can't even do something so simple."
The skeleton soldiers are low intelligent creatures so it's understandable that they can't properly do complicated orders. Louis quickly grabbed a stone and threw it at the wolf to distract it and shouted, "Attack."
The 3 skeleton soldiers that were with him rushed forward and slashed and hacked with the shield at the wolf. The 2 skeleton soldiers that were trying to ambush the wolf also rushed and attacked. But with the weak level 1 skeleton's attack the wolf was far from dying.
It even counter attacked and tried its best to get out of the encirclement but to no avail. The skeleton soldiers were also taking damage. The wolf even bit off one of the skeleton soldiers' arms.
The wolf was quite tenacious. It took quite a long to finally drain it out of its energy.
"Finally die."
Just as the skeleton soldier was about to strike again. The wolf started howling.
Ayoooo
"Shit!!!! Kill it fast."
The skeleton soldier hit his final strike and chopped the head of the wolf from its body.
[+200 experience point]
"Fuck it called its pack. And my skeletons aren't even in proper condition."
After fighting with the wolf one of the skeletons lost its arm and one lost its leg. While another one lost its wrist.
"What should I do? I am not even a combat oriented class. I might die if a pack of wolves comes."
[Cooldown of "Skeleton Soldier Summon" Ended.]
Louis looked at the notification and a ray of hope came to him.
"Maybe I can survive."
He summoned another 5 skeleton soldiers and wait for the wolves to come. In just a few moments 4 pairs of eyes could be seen in the bushes as they jumped out of their hiding and looked at Louis menacingly, growling.
Grrr Grrr

"Fuck it took so much effort to just kill a level 3 wolf, now there is even a level 4 one."
"Am I just going die in my first hunt? No, I won't die without a fight."
Louis sent 5 skeletons to hold two level 2 wolves and one level 3 wolf and took 5 skeletons with him to fight the level 4 wolf.
"No matter what I have to kill the level 4 wolf first. That way I will have a way to survive."
The 5 skeletons joined a heated battle with the level 4 wolf, but the level 4 wolf was stronger than the level 3 wolf. At this rate, the skeleton won't be able to win. The more time goes the more it will be harder to hold off other 3 wolves.
Louis has also started throwing stones from afar to change its aggro and distract it. But the other skeletons started to have a hard time holding off the 3 wolves. Some of them already had broken bones now they have more broken bones.
"Should I use that on the already dead wolf? But if I do that even if I defeat some wolves I won't be able to survive. Fuck it even if I am not a combat oriented class I already have combat experience in real life and Fantasia. If I hit the vital points I should be able to do some decent damage."
Louis grabbed a sword from his skeleton and rushed forward. With the skeleton distracting he rushed forward and stabbed at the wolf's eye.
Ayooo
The wolf started howling, screaming, and flailing. Louis dodged and tightened his grip on the sword and stabbed the other eye. With the help of the skeleton soldier, Louis finally killed the level 4 wolf.
"Fuck yeah. Summoning the dead. Arise." Louis used one of the other beginner skills Summoning The Dead.

The wolf stands up again with its flesh decaying and falling to the ground. Its eyes were glowing green. It only had some flesh left on its body. Some of the flesh and skin were hanging looking horrifying. But Louis was smiling at it.
"Attack."
The skeleton wolf and all of the skeleton soldiers started attacking the other three wolves cornering them.
[Cooldown of the "Skeleton Soldier Summon" Ended]
Louis summoned another 5 skeleton soldiers and killed the last of the wolves.
"It's time to hunt some bandits." Louis smiled maliciously.
