Dan flew above the center of the town and landed gracefully. As he looked around, he noticed the townspeople staring at him with a mix of fear and confusion. Suddenly, screams erupted from the crowd, and people began to scatter, running in all directions. Within moments, soldiers appeared, their weapons drawn, and they pointed them at Dan.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Dan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Wait! Please, I mean no harm!" he called out, hoping to defuse the tense situation. The soldiers shouted something in a language Dan couldn't understand. "I need somebody to help me contact the admin. Can anyone understand me?" he pleaded, hoping for someone to bridge the language barrier and assist him.
Dan observed the soldiers' fearful gazes, prompting him to wonder about their identity. Realizing that they didn't resemble players or NPCs, Dan felt a wave of confusion. Who were they, and what were they?
Dan quickly pulled up his system to inspect the person in front of him, but to his surprise, an error message flashed: [error... unable to check, no skill detected..]
Shock coursed through Dan. As an admin, he shouldn't need a specific skill to perform such a basic function. "This system is buggy," he muttered under his breath. With a sense of urgency, Dan flew up into the air and swiftly left the town before any further trouble arose.
Hovering close to the river, Dan paced back and forth, deep in thought. He mulled over his options and pondered the strange behavior of his system. What was going on, and how could he resolve it? These questions weighed heavily on his mind as he searched for answers.
Back in the town, the townsfolk were gathering near the town hall, where the governor was giving a speech. The people kept bombarding him with questions. "Governor, what was that monster, thing, animal?" one person asked, while another echoed a similar sentiment, "Governor, you have to kill it before it comes back. Please send a report to the duke."
The governor raised his hand to silence the crowd. "Stop! Me and the guards are keeping everyone safe. Do not worry," he assured them, trying to instill a sense of calm amidst the chaos.
The governor and the head of all the guards walked back into the town hall. The governor turned to the head guard and asked, "Do you know what that was?" The guard shook his head and replied, "No, my lord. In all my life, I've never seen that thing before. It will be my first time."
The governor moved to his desk and retrieved a parchment paper. "I need you or one of the men to send this to the duke," he instructed. The head guard took the parchment and nodded solemnly. "It will be done," he assured the governor before turning to leave and fulfill his task
