I was in the chair the book still on the table in front of me but when I looked over to the bed owk and ruby was gone but that's not that surprising a hour had passed in game but I noticed something on the table it was a tray that had a plate and two glasses on it with a bell next to the bell was a note I picked up the note and read it first dear DeerSkull I was told you passed my little test with flying colors I can also see you satisfied both of my girls and more they can barely stand up do to how sensitive they are but I think you know that anyway wring that bell if you need anything but remember if you want to have more fun you will have to pay we ant running a charity signed your hostess Helga I laughed reading this note and I took the plate off the tray bacon and eggs some toast I took a few bits of toast and I then took a swig from the mug I lowered the mug smacking my lips good old honey mead I said and with that I eat my breakfast as I was eating I rang the bell I took a drink from my mug when I lowered my mug a female walked next to the table she gave me a little bow and in a sweet voice calming voice she said you called sir I looked to her and smiled this girl was about 5'6 she wear black and red clothes as for her features she had a bird face and claws and even black feathers with dark blue feathers on her throat her eyes was also blue she started at me with a bird smile huh would you happen to be a kenku she tilted her head to the side and in that same sweet voice she said yes I am but how did you know I shrugged smiling I guess you can say I loved researching and learning knew things I came across your races name in a book and I must say it one thing to read about it but it's a whole Nother to see one in the flesh I must say that author failed to mention how beautiful your race looks I seen her hands tighten on her clothes and she took a step back saying in a strong gruff defensive female voice she said sorry sir but I don't do that sort of work so please don't I simple nodded shrugging my apologies I didn't mean to put you on guard it was simple a compliment nothing more nothing less and please you can simple call me Hunter she slowly walked back where she was standing I could tell she was still on guard and for good reason I could tell this woman's life has been hard I simple ate my food and waited till she was comfortable again I ate the last piece of bacon and drank the rest of my mead that is when she spoke in that nice calming voice thank you sir I am calm now I waved me hand no need to thank me I can tell you have had a hard life miss but if I may ask what is your name she smiled and simple said Raven I nodded well Raven it's a pleasure to meet you please call me Hunter and not sir Raven nodded if that's what you want Hunter I can do that I nodded thank you know Raven is there a place in this place where I can wash off I had a interesting night Raven giggled and it sounded like a raven calling yes we got a bath house at the end of the hall feel free to wash off there is there anything else I can do for you Hunter I smiled shaking me head no thank you Raven she bowed slightly and picked up the tray on the table and walked to the left wall I blinked and she was gone o how fun I said smiling but before I washed off I had a few things to make I pulled out the milk cartoon, then the two vials of oil and the barrel of gunpowder I set them all down on the table but then I looked down at the very clean table and I side y do I have to be so nice and I put everything that was on the table on the ground then took out that old tarp and spread it on the table and put everything back on it I didn't want Taylor to get angry at me if he found oil and gunpowder on his table if this was my place I wouldn't care but this wasn't my place I looked over everything and nodded ok lets get to work and a happy smile spread across my face and started my work first I filled 4 vials with the oil then I used the old shirt I bot and tore them up into clothe strips I lightly spread a little oil on the cloths next I cut holes in the quirks just big enough for the cloth to fit through it I then put the quirks back on with the cloth inside the bottles I smiled at the homemade Molotovs I just made next I took the remaining strips of cloth with dried oil on them and cut then in half which made them into thin strips I put the cloths into 5 bottles next I poured gunpowder in to the 5 bottles and cut a thin hole into the quirks and pushed the cloth through it I wansnt sure if this would work in the way I hoped it would sense most tnt sticks and grenades had a blasting cap in them but I didn't have any of those and I didn't have the materials to draw the fire runes so this would have to do I put all the stuff away into my back next I pulled out that spool of wire that I won I pulled some if the string out and it shined in the sun lite light steel I smiled evily I had some fun ideas how to use this string I put it away standing up and I walked out of my room and down the hall to the very end of the hall where I seen two doors on the left door it said man and on the right it said woman I walked into the man side when I did it was a locker room with another door at the end of the room I took my clothes off and put everything in my inventory sense I had my bag of holding I could hold way more stuff in my inventory if I simple put the stuff into the bag and the bag into my inventory I didn't want to be robbed but I dought anyone would try that in this place but better to be safe then sorry I grabbed a towel that was folded nicely in a basket I wrapped it around my waste and walked through the next door when I did I stem and warm air hit my face I smiled in the middle of this room was a huge hotspring on my left and right was showers but this room was sort of dark but that probably had something to do about the starry sky instead of a roof I seen the hot spring moved to the right wall and want passed it but there was a wood barrier I smiled sadly sense I didn't have time to soke in the hot spring so I walked to one of the showers which had soup and stuff in it I quickly took a shower and walked out equipping my gear back on but instead on my nice starter clothes I equipped that black trench coat and black shirt and pants and over my right shoulder was a quiver of arrows with a bow stong over my shoulder on my belt was of cores bucking bull on my right hip and on my left hip was my short sword and at the back of my belt was my two daggers and across my chest on the quivers strap was the ammo holder that back with bucking bulls each of the 5 slots had bullets in it I simple walked out of the locker room and down the hall of course at the top of the stairs at the railing was the late night workers some of them gave me a cautious glance many of them didn't even care I walked down the stairs I looked over to the bar as I walked down Ben was in it's normal spot behind the bar but surprisingly it wasn't Taylor who was bartending no it was a dark elf she had a nice red and hold suit on she was probably 6'4 her hair was cut short and on the sides of her head was green tattoos of a spiders web she was very hot but she had a air of danger around her it might just be the huge owl bar behind her or it could be the fact I could tell she was armed I didn't see any weapons but that doesn't mean they wasn't there when I got to the bottom of the stairs that dark elf turned to me and smiled and it was sort of creepy but I simple smiled back as best as a deer skull could smile I guess she waved for me to get closer I shrugged and walked over to the bar she leaned forward on the bar staring at me curiosity in her eyes she stared at me to the point it was getting uncomfortable but I didn't care I let this elf stare at me sense I was curious on what she wanted after a few more seconds she finally side nodding and stood up straight again how intriguing tell me DeerSkull what sort of race are you I chuckled shrugging I guess I could be considered a wendigo but I ant entirely sure my self what do you think I am she chuckled shrugging I ant sure my self if your really are a wendigo you ant one that I have ever seen before but if I had to describe you in in a few words the words a threat and terrifying comes to mind but your also kind so maybe this is what people call a wolf in sheep clothing I laughed at that you call me a wolf in sheep's clothing what's that make you a dragon in a human farm when she heard that a huge grin spread across her face but she winked wouldn't you like to know but most people call me Blackstar but you can simple call me Star I nodded and gave a little bow it's a pleasure to meet you Star people called me DeerSkull but please call me Hunter but I am sorry to cut the talk off here you see I got stuff to go kill I do hope we can continue this discussion another day Star didn't get offended hell she even nodded like she understood ok go and have fun she said and want to help someone who just sat down at the bar I nodded and turned around and walked out of the bar and started walking to the gate as I was walking I had a feeling I was being followed but when I glanced behind me I didn't see anyone that only meant there was two options the first is option A which is someone is following me but there stealth abilities are great or there's opinion B which it is simply my imagination but sadly I was leading more to option A sense I had brought a lot of attention to my self but o whatever if people want to me my exp farm that's up to them I finally got to the gate I seen the portcullis was open and I seen people walking through it but I also seen horse-drawn carts that want and out of the city to be honest the drivers didn't seem to care about running over people if they got in there a way which was odd but I didn't care I simply walked through the portcullis I could see the beast forest in the south it was fear but not far enough to be worried about I side stretching my arms mumbling well let's go Hunter you don't got all day and like that I took my first steps out of the city since spawning on the hill outside of the city I looked to the south and started to run in that direction as I was running I opened up my map I saw a red dot moving closer to the forest I noted where the goblin area was and also where the two tail deer area was but I noticed the two tail deer area was the hole forest which wasn't that surprising I closed the map and focused on my running and regulating my breathing I wasn't doing a full sprint so I wasn't burning through my stamina but I also wasn't jogging either so it didn't take me long to reach the forest edge I didn't hesitate and jumped right in and immediately slowed down and want into stealth to any normal person the forest was a odd interesting place that many people was familiar with but I grew up in the woods these place was my home even if I haven't been in these woods I couldn't loose my way plus in stealth I was practically wearing camouflage I blinded right in I slowly moved to the middle of this forest with my bow and an arrow in my hand wall my other hand was on my bucking bull I noticed a small creek bed to my left I slowly crept over to its edge making sure not to make a noise luckily I did cuz when I slowly made my way behind a tree which had a bunch of brush around it I heard a stick snap I pressed my self flat against the tree and nocked the arrow I took a few deep breaths before glancing around the tree and what I seen made me smile it was a deer a doe to be specific she had her head down drinking some water out of the crick I was sort of surprised she looked like a white tail deer from real life but I seen two tails instead of one but other then that they looked the same I took a deep breath in and pulled back the string on the bow slowly but then I realized there wasn't any sites on this bow but I didn't need any I used the arrow as my site I aimed for just behind the front shoulders I knew exactly where the heart was and at this range it would bring shame to my name if I couldn't hit and kill her at this range I room a deep breath in and slowly let it out I did it again but this time I only let half of it out and I realised the arrow in one clean back movement of my hand the arrow flew and sank right on target the doe jumped up kicking her back legs and she ran off but she didn't make it out of the creek when her front legs gave out from under her she tried to get back up but she couldn't she was bleeting and grunting loudly but I could tell she wasnt going to be able to get back up so I walked from behind the tree and jumped into the creek and walked next to her she seen me coming and tried to get up but she couldn't I started soothing her calming her down as I pulled out my dagger and in one swift movement I stabbed my dagger up into her head which killed her instantly I nodded pulled out my dagger and sat it on the ground and pulled my arrow which was hanging halfway out of her out I looked over the arrow seeing if it sustained any damage but other then a few scratches and blood it was fun I washed it off with the creek water and put it back in my quiver I picked up my dagger and pulled the doe out of the creek next I started to gut her which didn't take me long but I must admit gutting a deer with a dagger instead of a hunting knife was the first for me but it didn't matter a blade is a blade I ones had to gut a deer with just a little pocket knife so using a dagger instead wasn't going to affect much when I was done pulling out the guts I flipped the body over to drain the blood out of it as I was waiting I walked back to the guts and found the heart it was almost cut in half from my arrow but it was still hanging on I cut it out I didn't know what people like in this game but in the real life deer hearts is a delicacy I wrapped it in some of the old cloth I had left over I put it in my bag of holding I reached around seeing how much room was in it and it was about the size of a closet it could fit probably 3 deer in there as long as none of them was bucks I nodded quickly washed the blood of my hands and dagger and then flipped the doe body over and stuffed it in my bag when I was done I looked around the creek for tracks and found many from many different creatures but I seen plenty of deer tracks and like that, I started tracking again with my bow and a arrow in my left hand wall my right was on bucking bull I also entered back into stealth it didn't take me long to find another doe and kill it but as I started to gut it a cold feeling washed over me I stopped what I was doing and looked around everywhere left right behind forward but I didn't see anything but then I got a bad feeling and slowly looked up and in the tree above me was a mountain lion the size of a brown bear it was resting on the tree lem looking down at me with those black eyes it's tail dancing behind him my right hand slowly moved to bucking bull but the mountain lion didn't do anything it just started down at me with curiosity in its eyes I side asking do you want its insides and to my surprise, the mountain lion slowly nodded ok if I keep on gutting it will you attack me it shook its head I nodded ok and slowly took my hand off of bucking bull and want back to gutting but I made sure not to take my eyes off it's body and sense I focused more on the cat then gutting it took me a bit longer then normal but I did it i pulled out the guts and throw it to the bottom of its tree the mountain lion immediately jumped down out of the tree it hit the ground with a thump and it tore out the heart and want back into its tree wall that was happening I flipped the doe over and drained the blood out of it I watched the cat munch on the heart like a child would with candy I flipped the doe back over and stuffed it into the back and slowly backed away from the cat it didn't fallow me luckily I continued the hunt this time I started heading southeast towards the goblin area as I was walking I killed 2 more 2 tail deer the last one I had to not only gut it but I also skinned it wrapping the meat in it's fear didn't like doing this I would prefer to hang the body up skin it then let the meat sit overnight it tastes better that way but whatever I got to do what I got to do I washed my equipment and hands in a creek close buy I stood up with my bow in my hands and started to walk away when I heard movement ahead of me it sounded like fighting my head turned to that direction and slowly made my way over with a arrow nocked I was most definitely sneaking I have never trusted anything at face value and I wasn't going to start I slowly got closer to the sound which was more clear I heard the sound of something hitting steal the swing of a weapon but most importantly I heard a mans voice yell get back you fucker there was a clearing of trees in front of me that is when I seen a man in full plate armor in his left hand was a short sword in his other was a metal circle shield his skin was dark his face was normal looking with short red spiky heir and he was defending two cloaked figures that was hugging each other cowering behind him one was the size of a child the other was the size of a adult I couldn't see there faces at this angel but I could tell they was female and by the looks of there cloaks and the mans armor they had been running for a while in front of the man was 10 small green creature many of them was holding daggers and primitive spears but I seem one using a club and another in the back with a really ruff looking bow but that didn't stop the goblin from shooting an arrow at the man but he simple raised his shield the arrow shattering against it but wall his shield was raised 4 goblins lunged at him grabbing him by the waste then another ran and jumped grabbing his head the man stumbled trying to swing at the goblins on him but with no success plus his heavy armor didn't help him gain his balance and like that he fell onto his back that is when I saw his ears were pointed he looked to the cloaked girls yelling run but right then another goblin jumped over the man looking at the cloaked girls with a devilish grin but even before the goblin feet could hit the ground I shot an arrow at him it hit it right in the middle of the chest which mad it gets jerked back in mid-air it hit the ground dead the goblins stopped stunned looking at there dead friends the two cloaked girls heads turned to me I side slowly walking towards them the goblins turned and seen me but before anyone could react I shot another arrow at the archer in the back my arrow flew true sinking into it's skull jerking it's head back from the force of the arrow the other goblins screamed angrily at me and 5 of them charged at me I side again and tossed my bow to the girls saying I will want that back and with that I pulled out my short sword the first goblin was holding a spear it was charging at me with it but I simple side stepped the spear swinging my sword and the goblins head hit the ground I grabbed the spear before it could hit the ground and I threw it at one of the 4 goblins that was lunging at me the spear sank into it's chest but it didn't kill it but it did nock it off its feet but I didn't focus on it sense I had two daggers and a club coming at me I used my sword to deflected the daggers but I didn't have time to block the club it hit my chest and pain shot through my chest and a notification appeared -10 points of hp that goblin laughed mockingly and I must say it was quite annoying so I swung my sword cutting it's jaw off but I wasn't done I then kicked it away from me as my sword arced down cutting another goblin hand off as it tried stabbing me as for the last goblin it was wide eyes fear written all over his face it dropped its dagger and turned around trying to run but it didn't make it 4 steps before my sword got stabbed into it's chest dead I kicked it off my sword and wiped the blood of my sword on its rags I turned around and picked up that goblins dagger and walked next to the one rolling around on the ground holding its shoulder that kept on bleeding I simple put a foot on it's chest which made it stop moving and I stabbed the dagger up into it's head it tried to resist but it didn't have enough strength I pulled the dagger out of it's head and walked to the one missing it's bottom jaw it wasn't moving it's jaw was still bleeding all over the place but I could tell it was playing dead so I simple put my foot on its chest and stabbed the dagger into its chest it also tried to resist when it realized its plan wasn't working I left the dagger in it's head and I looked around for the last one that I hit with the spear but it wasn't on the ground where I seen it drop but it wasn't hard to find it just follow the blood trail it was running away surprisingly fast for a goblin that was hurt I probably couldn't hit it with the bow at this range but no matter I pulled out bucking bull looked throw the iron sites and I put the dot on the goblins back I took a deep breath in and let half of it out I held it there as I squeezed the trigger and Boom like that bucking bull jerked up from the recoil and that goblin got a hole blown into it hell just the force of the round jurked it off its feet and it did a few rolls on the ground before stopping I raised bucking bull in front of my mouth and I blow the smoke out of the barrel smiling I lowered it and pushed the lever on the side and the front of the barrel dropped down and the chamber was exposed the empty shell was moved up slightly to make it easier to reload and that's what I did I pulled the spent bullet out and pulled another in but I saved the brass I holstered bucking bull and turned around to the two cloaked girls who was starting at me shocked that is when I seen there faces both were dark elf's like the man both were very pretty I could tell both were related cuz they looked almost identical on the eldest head was an odd silver tattoo of a tiara made from vines and plants and her eyes shined purple as for the little girl he was hugging she didn't have the tattoos and her eyes was more pink than purple but other then that the two was identical I took a few steps towards them when that man stepped in front of them holding his shield up and his sword was at the ready and in a cautious voices he asked what are you no who are you stranger I chuckled smiling and put my hands in my pockets well let's start with who shall we people know be by DeerSkull so please feel free to call me either of those if you would like as for what I am who really knows I maybe a wendigo or maybe not but I think you people would call us wildling now I introduced my self may I know your names and how you all got in that situation the man didn't lower his sword or shield but the adult woman tapped on the shoulder he turned to her she simple nodded saying it's ok James I can trust him he did save us after all the man who was called James glanced to me then back at her asking are you my lady this could all just be a lie look at him he is a monster from another world you heard him but the lady wasn't having any of it she glared at him saying James who cares if he is from another world or what he looks like if you call him a monster just cuz he is different than so are we sure we look nothing alike but to call him a monster is the same as humans and elf's saying all dark elfs are evil and are monsters he also saved our lives the least we can do is give him the benefits of the doubt James side nodding fine your right my lady and with that he sheathed his sword the woman turned to me saying I am sorry if his words offended you and she bowed slightly I smiled waving my hand no need he was only trying to protect the you two I can understand his stance and I would do the same if I was in his place maybe less of the name calling though I chuckled at that the woman nodded standing up straight again smiling well you already have met James he is our guard as for the shy little girl behind me her name is Valentine my little sister as for my and she pulled off her hood showing me her full face and I must say it was dirty but her looks even with the dirt on her face would turn heads her looks mixed with her show white hear it was all just mixed perfectly but I wasn't the type of man who couldn't control his thoughts and emotions she smiled at me my name is Rose Vonzaruvish princess and air to the vomzaruvish throne I was surprised hearing she was a princess and air to the throne no less but I received fast I bowed slightly it is a pleasure to meet you my lady and excuse my bluntness but y are you here I may not know where your kingdom is but I can tell by the looks of your cloths and thin body's you have been traveling for a long time right Rose nodded your quite right Skull we have been on the road for a while but you see do to some fortunate situations in are kingdom that forced us to leave we have been traveling for a long time trying to look for my ant and her husband we got told by a wandering merchant that told us they were in the wildland city so we rushed into these woods to get to the city but sadly we got lost James was skilled enough to kill some small game for food but none of us are hunters or navigator so we just wondered around the woods till we ran into those monsters we tried to run but we are body's are tired at there limits so they cot up quickly James protected us and the rest you know but if I may ask Skull y are you out here alone ant you scared of getting lost or killed I chuckled no offense miss Rose but I grew up in the woods even if I get lost I can find may way home plus how could I get lost with a map that showed my location but that last part I thought to myself as for getting killed I ant that worried I would never start a fight that I know I will lose and even if I get ambushed I got ways to escape when you travel alone like I do you got to think ahead and prepare for your enemy's o right that reminds me and I walked over to the spear that was on the ground I picked it up and looked it over it was really small for me and a screen appeared for it
Goblin spear- a short spear that was shittly made by a goblin would probably brake on first hit. 10 points of damage, if thrown 15 points of damage
I looked at the spearhead and it was just a sharp jagged rock I smiled pulled my dagger out and cut the leather wrapping that was holding the spearhead in place I throw the stick away and walked over to the club that was on the ground Jame was the one to ask y are you taking there weapons they are useless I chuckled looking at the club and a screen appeared
Basic Wood club- a thick peace of wood that can be used as a club. 15 points of damage
I put it in my inventory and walked over to the dagger that was still behind held in a cut off goblin arm I picked up the dagger and looked it over
Basic dagger- a dagger from a goblin it is dall you can see where the goblin used it as a hammer or to break something open but it is still usable. 5 points of damage
I nodded flipped the dagger so I was holding it by the blade and I spun around throwing it at a nearby tree the dagger sank into it with a thump I walked up to it and pulled it out and looked to James who was dumfounded I laughed at his expression just cuz your wearing fancy heavy armor and you only us a sword doesn't mean other weapons are useless even a dall knife can kill if you use it right remember that knight and I put away the dagger I started walking towards them James still stepped in front of the girls but I didn't care I picked up my bow that I through to them I looked it over seeing if It got damaged luckily it didn't I put it back over my shoulders I then looked to Rose smiling O right you asked y I was so deep in the woods it's actually quite simple I took a few quests that lead me this way and it just so happens one of my quests I took was wiping out the goblin camp that is close by Rose and James was dumbfounded hearing that James then said are you stupid it would take more then one level adventure to wipe out a goblin camp Rose started at me frightened he is right Skull if you try and clear that camp you will die I simple laughed heartedly o what's this are you worried about a stranger who you just met but whatever the goblins can wait you three are my first priority I will lead you out of the woods stay close and if I say run you run do you understand me Rose was shocked but James nodded I looked to Rose and seen she didn't have any weapons on her so I pulled out that goblin dagger and handed it out to her she started at the dagger confusion written all over her face what's this Skull y are you giving this to me she asked I started at her seriously you are a beautiful woman in a dangerous place with no way to defend her self we can't have that in the wild you can only rely on the strength of your self to defend your family and your life I can't in good faith just walk away knowing you don't got a away to defend your but more impotently a way to defend that little girl behind you sure you got James but as you just seen with the goblin if I didn't step in we'll let's just say it would have been a way different story then take it and let's go we got a lot of land to cover Rose slowly reached out to the dagger hesitated but after a few second she grabbed it and put it under her cloak on her belt I nodded good let's go and remember to follow my orders they all nodded I turned around and started leading them out of the forest.
