His aura radiated purity and holiness, making it hard for anyone to look away from him after just one glance.
He looked at the group curiously, and then tilted his head as he asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The players stared at him, noticing that even though he wore the same clothes as the people from the town, he felt completely different.
Master PungPong's mouth slowly fell open, and like the other players, he couldn't speak for a long time, "You…"
Flower Deer who is recovering from the initial shock of the boy's beauty, finally said, "We were called here by Father Barry to clean up the wild beast in the Eastern Plain. Who are you? And why are you here alone?"
Master PungPong also snapped out of his daze, remembering that Father Barry had mentioned about the wild beasts in the Eastern Plains and that no one from the town dared to come here.
The boy's sudden appearance in this place seemed very suspicious.
Upon hearing Father Barry's name, the boy in front of them looked like he understood and said, "So, you're the heroes who are summoned by the God of Light? My name is Hanjun, and I live nearby."
Master PungPong whispered to the others, "This NPC who are showing up here must be a clue. I'm sure he's connected to the giant white wolf. How about I go up and ask him?"
Everyone shared the same doubts and agreed with Master PungPong's idea.
Master PungPong took a step forward, but Hanjun's beauty kept distracting him.
He struggled to focus and finally managed to pull his attention away from Hanjun's face as he said, "Don't you know? This place is too dangerous. You shouldn't be here."
Hanjun, with an innocent look on his face, replied, "Why? I think it's fine here. Snowball often comes here to play with me."
Master PungPong froze.
Thinking like a game designer, could this Snowball be the boss they were supposed to fight?
"Snowball? Are you talking about a big white wolf?"
Hanjun nodded his head quickly and then noticed the weapons in their hands, "You're not planning to kill Snowball, are you? Even though it's a wolf, it's nothing like what people say. It doesn't hurt anyone."
Hanjun took a step back, looking a little scared.
But Master PungPong's eyes lit up.
He thought to himself: Here it comes, finally, the storyline is unfolding.
~•~
Everyone who's played games before knows that when a character like this appears, they're definitely connected to the mission and will bring more clues to the players.
It was obvious that Hanjun, who had just appeared, was connected to their mission.
It's no wonder the mission that was given by Father Barry was labeled as normal difficulty, yet the boss was level 20.
Even if they could beat it at a higher level, it would still be too hard.
However, It turns out the storyline was only halfway through.
Master PungPong put away his weapon and tried to calm Hanjun down, saying, "We just want to get to the quarry. If you can tell us how to get there, we won't have to make such a big deal out of it."
