As sson as Liam made his way out the village entrance the first thing he saw was farmland roughly 2000 metres in length and 5000 metres in width. It was currently filled with various crops including potato plants and corn, wheat was also planted further away.
The only thing that ruined such a beautiful was the large beige rabbits currently digging the ground and eating whatever was in thief way. They were roughly 1 metre in height, much larger than in the real world and they also had a large double tooth hanging from their upper lip about a quarter of the body size.
Liam watched as other players were engaging the rabbits, he saw one player with their bare fists start attacking the rabbits without a care in the world. The player manage to hit it twice before the rabbit kicked them with their large hind legs which stunned him for a few seconds, in which the rabbit used it's big tooth to take advantage and bit the player to death. The player disappeared in particals of light and went back to the Newbie Village.
There is a harsh death penalty in the game but it only applies after players reach Tier 1. A player would then lose a level each time they died with the penalty increasing every tier. However a player cannot go down a tier so if they die and the player doesn't have enough levels to cover the penalty they will them be placed in a debt like situation. This means they would have to earn the Exp to cover the debt before they can earn it towards the next level.
As Liam continued to observe his surroundings, he saw the forest he needs to go to in the distant. He ignored it for now and tried to find an area free of people to start his own hunt of the rabbits. After 10 minutes of looking he found spot further away from the village where he saw a few rabbits to fight and only a small number of people around.
'Guess this will have to do for now' As this thought came to him, Liam pulled his sword from it's sheath and made his way to the closest enemy. Above it's head was it's basic information.
[Buck Tooth Rabbit - HP: 200/200]
The monster itself will only attack once it has been attacked itself, so Liam observed it for a seconds before swinging his sword at it.
-20
"Okay roughly 10 defense. Should die in 10 hits" Liam muttered to himself as he swung again before taking a step back to avoid it's kick.
-19
As soon as the rabbit unleash it's kick it tried to bite at Liam but he took a second step back and dodged again. After which he took his third swing causing more damage.
-19
After this Liam took a step to the side then several more backwards as he wanted some room to try out the charge skill. As soon as he was in a position he wanted he unleash the skill. He bent down slightly with his shoulder in a forward position then pushed off with his back foot moving straight towards the rabbit. The monster had no time to dodge and took the hit and was slightly pushed back.
-26
As Liam had a slightly higher strength rating he was able to push the rabbit back, this stunned him for a second as it was unexpected.
'The skill didn't mention that. Could it be a hidden feature of the move.' Liam was right with his thoughts. The skill has the chance at knock back but only if the characters strength is higher. This feature is hidden as the developers want the players to explore everything. They believe giving all the information would be hand holding the player too much, so the hide stuff to keep everyone on their toes.
Back to the fight and Liam swung his sword again for another hit and continued in the same fashion till the rabbit finally fell.
[Buck Tooth Rabbit defeated - Exp: 15]
The rabbit dropped 2 items, one was it's tooth whereas the other was the fur of the beast.
[Buck Tooth Rabbit Fang - Loot
The fang of the Buck Tooth Rabbit. Not used for much but some people may pay money for them]
[Buck Tooth Rabbit Fur - Material
Fur of the Buck Tooth Rabbit. Can be used in tailoring for clothing items]
Liam put the items in his inventory and carried on fighting other rabbits in the area. He manage to defeat 10 before there was no more in the area, seems like they haven't respawned yet. At least this was what he thought before he realised there were extra people in the zone he was in.
'Sigh'
"Looks like I might need to move elsewhere, and I only need 5 more. Damn it!" Liam muttered to himself before slowly walking away to find another area with less players. This is the problem with MMO's, especially ones that have just started. There is always to many players in quest areas making it difficult to finish quests.
Liam moved further away and noticed more farmland beyond where he was, this made him realise that he should explore more. This farmland had even less players and plenty of rabbits to finish his quest.
With this he made his way over the the nearest rabbit and started fighting. It took only 60 seconds to kill the monster as he was now used to the attack pattern.
Liam continued on and defeated another 3 monsters before he heard the lovely chime of a level up.
[You have reached Tier 0 Level 2. You have gained 5 attribute points]
With the last rabbit defeated Liam noticed an unusual shimmer in the loot of the rabbit a made his way over to pick it up.
[You have received Rabbits Foot]
