Leaving Mutelight Town Cain headed straight for the wild rabbit hunting area, mainly because this quest required wild rabbit feet which were limited drops, meaning if other players hunted enough they would stop dropping.
If this happened and he still didn't have enough to complete his quest it would be really depressing, along the way the number of players seemed to have increased a bit, but you didn't see a greater flow of players entering the hunting ground than leaving, so this should be the steady stream of average players in Mutelight Town.
Maybe he had already reached his novice player limit and got locked out as a starting city or maybe that was all the players from the first batch, it didn't really matter to Cain as he continued on his way, he found some interesting players like the one he had chosen learning [mana strike] being a sword user, I would lose a lot of the explosive power of a swordsman but attacking at range wasn't a bad idea, it would just take longer to kill monsters than average swordsmen by a bit.
Thinking about that, Cain remembered having read something similar on the game's website, one of the creators' greatest pride is having created an incredibly vast class system, they boasted that there were as many classes as there were players.
It may be a bit of an exaggeration, but it wasn't a joke about the number of existing classes, according to beta players there is a special test in the temple when you reach level 5, in which you will be graded based on all your data gathered during the game and your abilities and you will be able to obtain a class that best suits you according to the perception of the system.
Although there are some classes that are rarer or stronger than others they are very balanced overall, just because one class seems to be stronger than another doesn't mean it's better for you, it seems that this game also has something of a compatibility system where more compatible the more you are with a class, the more you will be able to get out of it.
Finally, a few minutes later Sylas passed the field rabbit spawn zone and arrived directly at the wild rabbit spawn area. There were no players hunting wild rabbits near him, but Sylas had no doubt that there would be other players capable of to do so, they simply did not choose the same place to hunt.
Attacking the first wild rabbit he came into contact with Sylas easily dodged his first [tackle] while attacking him, with previous experience it was quite easy to hunt down these level 1 monsters after understanding the trick, you just had to dodge his first [tackle]. and then count the CD to dodge the next one.
This Mob did not seem to have a very high AI and used its ability at the same time it was available, that made it extremely predictable and not very threatening, in a moment of confidence Cain allowed himself to be scratched by the rabbit's claws to test his new defense .
-4.96hp!
Wow, the improvement in his defense was notable, previously the rabbit's attacks did between 6 or 7 damage, the one that does less than 5 now may seem insignificant, but hunting many will save many potions.
Less than 20 seconds later the rabbit burst into particles with a shriek, dropping some meat, rabbit fur, and the quest item. It seemed that copper wouldn't always drop, just like rabbit fur wouldn't always drop, as for meat it would always drop, but the amount would vary.
Looking at his stats he had only been attacked twice by the wild rabbit, it was less than during his first hunt for this monster and he only lost around 10 Hp, he would wait until he lost more life before taking a potion as they healed 50 health. Since each potion cost 1 copper he only had 15, he would have to use them carefully.
Thus time passed while Cain continued his hunt, even though he could kill a rabbit in just under 20 seconds the actual time between each hunt was 30 seconds because he waited for his [Double Strike] to be out of cooldown, it was very important to reduce the speed of the rabbits when starting the attack and thus avoid their claws more easily, this greatly reduced their need for potions.
In the end he was only occasionally attacked by rabbits, greatly reducing the need for potions, after almost an hour and when he only had 1 health potion left in his inventory he finally killed enough wild rabbits. His armor still had half of its durability since he dodged most attacks, many did not get to touch him before dying.
The problem was his spear, it already had 4/10 durability and it didn't seem like it would be enough to complete the rest of the quest before going bankrupt, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to complete this quest in one push.
Sighing, he went back to the field rabbits area and continued hunting, since they didn't attack or dodge very well, it was really easy to hunt them. In just 25 min he had hunted more than 120, this time Cain wasn't waiting for his skill CD and just wanted to complete the mission as fast as possible, it would be great to be the first person in his country's server to level 1 .
But just as he was raving about it, an advertisement appeared in front of him, echoing the surroundings.
[Congratulations to player #$$&/"#& for being the first to reach level 1, as a reward your fame will increase slightly in your starting town]
Cain sighed with disappointment, he still needed more than 500 experience to level up, if he had been hunting only field rabbits all the time maybe he would have less but he definitely would not have leveled up so soon, there was still a quarter of an hour to go for the server to be 2 hours open this person was really fast.
But he wasn't too upset since he didn't really think he had a chance to be the first to be level 1, there are many famous players supported by prestigious guilds starting in the same generation as him, Cain would be satisfied as long as he was at the forefront of the guilds. elite players, after all, he started playing to have fun and earn some money, he did not want to be an addict who only thought to be in the top tier rankings.
In the same way, completing this mission and receiving the rewards should be enough to level up and there would even be a little left over. Without further ado, he continued hunting until his spear was about to be ruined and he returned to the town to repair it in addition to freeing up his inventory a bit, in the first levels the players did not have many free spaces in it.
Finally, almost an hour later, he hunted all the 400 field rabbits that were required, impatiently he ran back to the town and rushed into the tavern, looking at the usual place, he noticed that it was empty, Roland was nowhere to be seen. of the bag with the rabbit feet from his first mission and some glasses of beer on the table.
Nervous, Cain left the tavern to look for him thinking that he had been scammed, but a town designed to accommodate at least 20,000 players was by no means small, finding Roland would take a lot of time that Cain was not willing to spend.
Panicking, Cain suddenly remembered something and expanded the mini-map in his vision with a thought, increasing its range until it showed almost the entire town. He immediately made out a flickering golden dot on the other side of town, near the west exit.
This was a simple feature of the mini map that displayed the NPCs you had quests to complete or claim with, something very common in old RPG games, with a sigh he ran towards the blinking dot, again he was so caught up in the game that for for a time he had forgotten that he was one.
5 minutes later, he came across an old, half-decayed shack, the street seemed to be part of the poorer neighborhoods of the town, and this shack was especially dilapidated, but the map indicated that Roland was inside.
Since it was not a public place, he could not enter without permission from the owner, so after thinking a bit he decided to simply knock on the door, after knocking 3 times with enough force so that it resonated throughout the house, he waited for almost two minutes and no one opened, a little angrily he hit harder making the old door tremble as he yelled.
"Lord Roland I know you are here, please open the door, I have something important to inform you"
Shortly thereafter heavy creaking noises sounded from the other side before the door opened, a Roland slaughtered by alcohol and hangover appearing as he stared blankly at Sylas with one eye half open and the other closed.
"Oh little adventurer, how did you find me?"
The corner of Cain's lips twitched as he thought 'didn't you want to be found?', but there was no anger on his face as he bowed and handed over a leather sack containing the quest items.
Roland took it out of habit and looked at it lost for a while, then finally remembering the mission he had given Sylas he opened the sack to look at what was inside, he seemed to want to count them, but finally his hangover got the better of him and he threw it back. to Cain.
"Well I will trust you and reward you properly for accomplishing my task."
As he said that a flashing light covered Sylas as he leveled up.
[Congratulations you have leveled up to 1, you have obtained 1 free attribute point and 5 free stat points]
