"Yes!'
Alryan accepted the quest which made the pop up dissapear.
"Huh what's that, a target?"
"Where i need to go accomplish the mission probably. That just makes it way easier.
Alryan thought while walking towards the target.
A few minutes later...
----------
"So this is the house."
Alryan thought while infront of a medium sized medieval style house, probably 2 floors and maybe an attic.
Alryan walked towards the door and knocked
*Knock, knock, knock*
Almost immediately a old lady, grey hair, looked above 60s, was at least a head smaller than Alryan, wearing normal peasant clothes.
- H-hello young man, are you the slayer?
The old lady said looking at Alryan, scrutinizing her eyes, as if she couldn't see very well.
- Yes ma'm! I am here to slay those disgusting rats!
Alryan said, with vigor in his voice.
- Oh, very well son, come! follow me.
The old lady said with a smile, as she turned around and started going down the stairs.
Alryan followed behind, inspecting the house.
"Guessing from the quest, she must live alone or maybe with her husband. Should i try stealing? Nah."
Thought Alryan while they went inside some type of basement in the house.
-Here it is dear. Those rats, please get rid of them.
Said the old lady.
-Okay!
"She left the basement, probably to do old lady stuff?"
"I see some rats moving at first glance, they aren't giant rats or anything, quite normal."
Alryan said while looking at the basement's floor.
An grey and fat rat stopped infront of Alryan, it looked at him with his head up, it din't seem to be scared.
Alryan looked to the side, there was some type of old leather bag there and old leather gloves atop of a box, how convenient.
"I probably don't want to be stomping rats, i don't think old lady wants me to paint the floor."
Thought Alryan while putting on the slightly oversized gloves and grabbing the bag with his left hand.
The rat from before was now at his feet, smelling it?
"Does it smell bad? Probably fish."
Alryan lunged his right hand at the rat and grabbed it, it squealed a little, but then Alryan pressed the rat's neck and heard a low bone break sound, putting the limp rat in the bag.
A few minutes later...
----------
"This is boring..."
Thought Alryan while searching for more rats, the quest din't specify how many he needs to get rid of, maybe he should ask the old lady.
"What the fuck?!"
"Is that a giant rat?"
Thought Alryan while looking at a corner of the basement behind boxes. A white rat atleast 3x bigger than a normal rat was sleeping.
"Here is the exp..."
Thought Alryan with a grin on his face.
He put down the rats bag in the floor, his gloves already had a few holes.
Alryan carefully lifted the box and put it on top of another box. Leaving the big rat's body in clear view.
Alryan lunged his both hands at the rat's head one at the neck and the other covering the eyes.
The rat woke up and started thrashing.
Alryan used all his strenght to pull the head from the body. After a few seconds he heard a snap and the rat went limp.
(Lvl 2 Mutated rat killed.)
(Level up!)
"Yes!"
Alryan put the white rat's body inside the bag, barely fitting.
(Quest "Rat infestation" accomplished.)
(Level up!)
Out of nowhere, 20 bronze colored coins dropped to the floor.
Alryan snatched the coins and putted it on... his pijama's pocket?
"Reward out of nowhere, im not gonna question it."
Alryan walked up the stairs and saw the old lady on a sofa reading a book with glasses on, she looked up at him with a smile.
-Done?
Said the old lady.
-Yessir.
-Thank you dear!
The old lady got up to open the door.
-Dear, you are such a good natured young Man! J-just like my son was.
The old lady said, at the end frowning.
-I am sorry for your loss.
"Tuff one granny."
-He was a slayer just like you! Rank B he said, all he left was his sword.
Alryan eyes suddenly glinted.
-I am truly sorry ma'm, i have been wanting to follow the path of the sword aswell, b-but the swords are just soo expensive.
-Why dont you take his sword! Seeing it makes me go sad, keep it!
The old lady said and then went to grab an average looking iron sword, with a few scratches here and there.
-Thank you ma'm I'll be going!
-You're welcome sonny, j-just get some new clothes!
The old lady said then closed the door.
"Yeah, lets do that."
Alryan looked around, the village still full but with a little less it seems, the sun was starting to go down. He quickly went to a place that seemed to have the peasant clothes that most people were using.
There was a woman, probably on her 30s, and what seemed to be her daughter, seemed to be around 18. Both with blonde hair and brown eyes.
A few minutes later...
----------
"8 bronze for the clothes and shoes? I guess."
He was now wearing the peasant clothes, the yellow variant, because hes rich of course, with brown shoes.
"Tsk, i have 12 left and night is soon, maybe i can afford an inn."
-Hey, young man.
Alryan turned around and saw some type of priest, he had slicked back black hair, black eyes and a stern gaze, he was about 3 heads taller than Alryan, towering over many, he was carrying some type of book on his right hand, and wearing those long priest clothes.
-Yes?
-You seem new here, haven't seen you around. I am priest Lones from the local church.
-My name is Alryan, i am infact new sir.
-Do you have somewhere to stay?
-No i don't.
Said Alryan.
- Our church helps young kids who don't have where to sleep, you are not 18 yet i suppose?
"Ahhh... I don't fucking know my age but lets just go with the flow."
