In the morning after finishing his routine exercises, Sam went to the guild to collect his reward from yesterday's quest and to look for new quest. When he reached the counter Tia asked him how his quest went.
"It was very bad. I fought till the night and was covered in blood and stink very bad", laughing at his childishness, she presented him with a job, brown rabbits pelt collection. "This will help you gain two points unlike other one pointers". It was a special deal he had got, more points means he can level up faster. Thanking Tia he turned when he saw the same man from yesterday who was wearing full armour staring at the board.
"Say, what is the deal with him, Tia?", Sam asked Tia in low voice. Awkward smile formed on her face but the only thing she can tell was that he registered two days ago and since have been going on quests back to back. A hardcore player.
"Hi. My name is Sam. Which quest are you looking for?", Sam was hoping they would become friends and having an armour friend was not bad.
*Silence
Even after waiting for 30 sec no reply came so Sam introduced himself again thinking that the armour made it difficult to hear the first time.
[Looks like he is not interested in you.]
Getting the same treatment again Sam decided it was best to mind his own business.
[A tough but to crack, he is]
Reaching the city gates he bought some bait carrots. Bait carrots were the first choice to lure brown rabbits into traps. Making a trap was easy put some bait carrots, hang a basket to a tree branch and wait until the rabbit walks in the trap.
It was noon, the sun was at its peak, hot wind blowing, heavily sweating, patiently Sam waited for two hours but not a rabbit was in sight. "Even the rabbits are ignoring me now, sob sob'"
[Cheer up lad, I am here for you], Sei comforted Sam.
"You are my true friend, Sei". It was time for plan number 2, finding and hunting rabbit like a wolf. Leaving the setup behind Sam started searching for signs, searching the bushes, trees, holes. It was futile and now Sam has given up. Laying on the ground he was counting the branches when he saw leaves rustling and a brown figure moving. Jumping on his feet he picked a stone and threw on the rabbit hiding up. The rabbit started jumping away and Sam chased it for sometimes and succeesed in knocking it out. Collecting the rabbit when *Swoosh something flew near to Sam's face at incredible speed and with a thud hit a tree. Looking behind he saw an arrow stuck to the tree and immediately jumped and laid on the ground.
Sometimes passed and when Sam couldn't detect anyone got up.
[That was close. Which IDIOT is firing arrows blindly], Sei voiced his anger. *Bam. A loud noise made Sam jump and he ran to hid behind a tree. Trying to locate the disturbance he saw two figures fighting. Closely looking, one was a half naked man large build, big tattoo on his back, swinging a big battle axe whose swings teared away trees. The other one was, well a person he knew. Grey and red colored armour, two swords in hands fighting and dodging the naked man's attack desperately.
[Looks like someone is in trouble, should we help?], the fight was very like the ones he saw in comics. Swinging, dodging, blocking, jumping again following the same pattern. This was the first action fight Sam saw after coming in this world.
'Hello again, stranger'.
