As soon as Liam became conscious of his surroundings after logging out he got up from his bed and went down stairs to grab a drink. It was dark in the house indicating that his parents had already gone to bed.
As he got down stairs he made his way to the fridge in the kitchen and pulled out a jug of orange juice. He poured himself a glass and sat down in the living room to relax. He was still feeling a little groggy from the log out, so he turned on the TV to watch the news.
The newscaster was talking about the popular VR game that had made the shelves today. It even report that some people have already finished their Tier Up quest and made it to the main continents of the game.
Liam watched for 15 minutes before switching off and heading back upstairs. He took a quick shower before getting to bed.
Liam woke up at about 9 o'clock in the morning and did his morning routine of bathroom, breakfast and a small run. He had been trying to drop his weight and get rid of his slightly pudgy belly but it doesn't really seem to be working for him. Liam decided that once he has learnt some more money he will try to hit the gym.
After running for ninety minutes Liam got back to his house and took another shower before logging back in for another fun filled day in Fairune!
"Should be able to get my Tier Up quest pretty quickly today." Liam smiled as his consciousness faded from his body before appearing where he left in game. He looked around for a second to see if any one was watching him after last night's events, but sighed in relief when he couldn't spot anything out of the ordinary.
Liam made his way out of the village and followed the quest prompt back into the forest. 'Sigh, the forest again?' Liam gave a exasperated sign thinking that he has to go back in the forest. It was hard to navigate and a pain to move around sometimes due to how close the trees can be.
Even though he was complaining in his heart Liam still pushed onwards determined to hit level ten and finish up this quest quickly.
Liam soon came across his first monster of the day, a wolf, problem was that it was three levels lower than him at T0:6 which means no experience for him. He still killed it because he could still sell the drops even if they only went a a measly 1-2 bronze a piece.
On his travels through the forest Liam used his skill
It took Liam almost 45 minutes to reach his quest destination, with him fighting several packs of wolves and grabbing around 6 Five Star Herbs. Speaking of herbs Liam remembered that he had left a rare one in the care of the old later at the item shop, 'Should go grab that when I get back, she said it would be an upgraded healing potion.'
At his destination was a cave heading down into the ground. The entrance was about 4 metres high and just as wide, but there was nothing guarding the front. Liam continued forward and passed through the darkness of the entrance and made his way down. The further he walked the more he descended until he reached a large room. The room itself was quite large with bones strewn all of the place, many of them were animal bones but it seemed like some human ones were mixed in as well. At the back of the room was a large black figure curled up sleeping.
Liam made his way closer to the figure and could smell the fishy breath it was exhaling that almost made him gag. The closer he got the worse the smell making Liam hold his own breath to try and avoid it. As he got with 30 feet of the figure it started to stir. First the eyes opened, they were yellow in colour and Liam could see the rage they were showing with being told. They gave him such a fright that he took two steps back before steadying himself.
The creature slowly started to stand on all fours, it towered over Liam at roughly 5 metres tall making him realise that it wouldn't be able to leave as the entrance was much small than it. The creature or rather the wolf in front of him was pitch black in colour with sharp fangs dripping with saliva and it's claws looked as if the could easily cut metal.

'Another elite huh? This will be tougher that the goblin due to it having higher speed' Liam contemplated how to go about the fight, however before he was aloud the chance the wolf pounced over extremely quickly.
The distance of 30 metres was covered with a snap of the fingers catch Liam slightly off guard but he still managed to drop and roll in time from the incoming claw.
Liam took this time to try his new skill as he was now in range and without hesitation activated
-63
'Damn it has about 55 defence.' Liam was surprised at the high defence of the wolf but still backed off after his successful attack.
The wolf growled after taking damage and quickly turned to face Liam before opening it jaws and pouncing on Liam faster than before.
