[Welcome back, Adventurer]
Curis appeared back in the inn where he was logged off, looking through the window he saw that the sun is just out, he stretchs and wait down to have his breakfast and the game is very realistic.
Arriving downstairs, Curis saw that the place was still empty, so he went to the receptionist desk and ordered some food.
While eating, Curis noticed the arrival of some people covering themselves with a black cloak, feeling suspicious. Curis decided to follow them around and see what they wanted in the village.
An hour later, the people finished eating and stood up to leave the inn, Curis also stood and followed them while maintaining his distance.
"Leader, there is someone following us from the inn before," said one of the black cloaked people.
"I noticed him, just keep walking and don't look back," said the man who was addressed as the leader.
"Yes, sir," replied his subordinates.
After walking around the village for over 15 minutes, the black cloaked people head toward the outskirts of the village. Noticing where they were heading, Curis continued to follow them, but suddenly, the black cloaked people split and moved in directions and started moving in pairs except for one person who moved alone.
Curis followed the single person until they reached outskirts, and suddenly, the black cloaked person stopped and turned around to face Curis.
"Why were you following us?" asked the black cloaked person.
"Following you? I was just admiring the morning scenery," said Curis.
The black cloaked person eyed Curis sceptically. "Save it adventurer, you have been tailing since we left the inn,"
Curis shrugs and reply "maybe I am curious about your strange clothes,"
" Where are your other members?" asked Curis.
The black cloaked person's expression turned guarded. "They have their own mission to carry out,"
"Ohh, they have missions, so what is your own mission?" asked Curis.
"That is not for you to know," replied the black cloaked person.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the black cloaked person's hood slipped, revealing a striking tattoo on their forehead.
Curis checked the person with observation but could only see the name and level.
[Observation]
Name:Dwayne
Level:20
Curis was shocked to the level of the black cloaked person and was alert.
"You shouldn't have seen that, so now you have to die," said Dwayne as he brought out his sword.
" Well, we will find out about that," said Curis as he put on a defensive stance.
Dwayne rushed towards Curis and slashed him. Although Curis blocked it, he was pushed back as Dwayne was stronger than him.
-80 HP:610/690
"What a huge damage output," thought Curis.
"Ohh, you survived that, I am surprised as I thought that could finish you," said Dwayne.
"To kill me, you will have to do more than that," said Curis as he strikes towards Dwayne.
"Weak," said Dwayne as he blocked Curis attacks with ease.
"Ohh, you think so," said Curis.
Curis continues to stack damage on Dwayne's body, which makes Dwayne want to know why he is just cutting him with dealing any damage.
Curis's relentless assaults continue.
Dwayne's confusion grew, "How...? You are not even dealing any damage,"
Curis smiles, "it is not about dealing damage now, but settling you up,"
"What did you mean...?" said Dwayne as he panicked.
Curis next strikes deliver the turning point of the fight.
"So you were never aiming for me but my armour," said Dwayne.
" Ohh, you figured out but it is too late," said Curis.
Curis finally destroy Dwayne armour revealing the numerous scars on Dwayne's body.
"You shouldn't have done this," said Dwayne as he went berserk.
"Oh, that must be his reverse scale," thought Curis.
Dwayne starts attacking ruthlessly without thinking straight which make it easy for Curis to evade the attacks. Suddenly, a flaw opens up in Dwayne's attack.
" A chance," thought Curis as he quickly switch between his longsword and equips the short sword.
Curis thrusts the short sword into Dwayne's body killing him.

Curis breathes heavily and brought out 3 health potion as he was lucky in defeating Dwayne. Searching Dwayne's body, he came across a small intricately designed pendant, a letter and a map.
Curiously, Curis opens the letter and was shocked by the content of the letter.
'To Dwayne,
Your mission is to carefully retrieve the grail from the village temple and kill the village head as he might disrupt the plan and eliminate any suspicious person you may come across. May Lucifer be you.
Archon Valter'
"They are targeting the village head and the temple grail, I need to inform the village head immediately," thought Curis as he runs back to the village to inform the village head.
Arriving at Akindele's place, Curis saw him discussing with one of the village guard, so he rushed to him and call for his attention.
"O' Great Adventurer, I was thinking of calling for you. So now that you are here, I have something to tell you," said Akindele.
" I also have something to tell you but can we go inside first," said Curis in an urgent voice.
Hearing the tone of Curis, Akindele was surprised and told him to follow as they went onto his house but he gave an instruction to the village guard before entering.
" Increase the security around the temple and make sure to search the environment for any suspicious person," said Akindele to the guard.
" Yes sir," said the Guard.
" Good, now you can leave," said Akindele.
" What is going on?" asked Curis.
" Well, we discovered the dead body of one temple worker this morning," said Akindele as he prepares tea for Curis.
" I think I know what the killers are after," said Curis.
" What did you say," said Akindele.
" They are after the temple grail and aiming to kill you as well," said Curis.
" Interesting, why did you say that?" asked Akindele.
" Look at this," said Curis as he brought out the pendant and the letter for Akindele.
Akindele's eyes widen in shock to see the pendant as he know what the pendant stands for and which organization use it.
" Where did you get that pendant and where is the person you got it from?" asked Akindele in a hurriedly tone.
" I got the pendant from a suspicious man and the person is dead by now," said Curis as he explains what happened from the inn down to the battle with Dwayne to Akindele.
Akindele collect the letter from Curis and read the content of the letter while nodding as he somewhat expect what is in the letter.
"Do you know what this pendant stands for?" asked Akindele.
" No, I just feel like it is somehow strange," said Curis shaking his head.
"This pendant is a symbol of the 'Devil's Own' organization and they are the most ruthless organization who wants to bring this world to its knees," said Akindele.
" Devil's Own," said Curis.
" Yes, they are an organization that wants to open the demon realm gate and unleash higher rank demons into this world," said Akindele.
"I understand, but what do they need the temple grail for?" asked Curis.
"The temple Grail rail was once blessed by the goddess of light, Aurora that who even drinks from it will have his/her mana capacity expand by 3000% for an hour. So do you know why they are after the temple Grail," said Akindele.
" If the Grail is so powerful, why is it kept here and not moved to the capital where it will be easy to safeguard," sand Curis.
" I wish it was that easy but, when ever it been taken away from this temple, it will always return after 24 hours. So the king decided to leave it and not but to take it again," said Akindele.
"I think I get it now, if they were to use the Grail in the village, you the strongest person in the village will stop them but if you are not alive..." said Curis.
" There will be no one to stop them again as it will take time for reinforcement from the nearby city to arrive," completed Akindele.
" Yes, it seems they are finally putting their scheme into motion," said Akindele.
" So what are we going to do now?" asked Curis.
" I will have to write for you to deliver to the city lord asking for reinforcements," said Akindele.
