Ever since the event began, all of the fantasy goblins in Twilight City had been taken down by the Quan Zhen Sect.
The three hundred ordinary fantasy goblins in Twilight City plus one Fantasy Goblin BOSS would total up to 350 fragments in total which could be exchanged for a total of seven sets of capes.
It seemed like each city would only produce up to seven sets of capes. In a city with over a hundred thousand players, seven sets were definitely not a lot.
After the death of the Fantasy Goblin BOSS, every player received a fragment. This was only because the Fantasy Goblin BOSS was killed under the leadership of the City Lord.
Out of all the three hundred cities in the game now, only Twilight City's City Lord was a player. Therefore, other main cities would not have such an opportunity at this moment.
There might not be a lot of players in Twilight City but a mere 350 fragments was far from enough. After getting rid of Twilight City's Fantasy Goblin, Wang Yu and co. started clearing the main cities beside them.
The event had started for about seven to eight hours now. With Li Xue and the rest still misleading the public with prevarications and deliberate falsehoods, everyone was still busy grinding the willows quests. For the time being, there was still nobody harassing the NPCs on the streets.
The Quan Zhen Sect's plan could be considered to be pretty successful.
To be honest, this quest wasn't easy in any way. Finding three hundred NPCs in a different city wasn't much easier than fighting a BOSS.
The Quan Zhen Sect continued being busy until 12 midnight as they finally cleared all the quests in four main cities. Everyone only stopped for the day once Wang Yu went to bed.
As for the reason why everyone only stopped after Wang Yu went to bed… The reason was simple: They couldn't defeat any BOSS without Wang Yu.
Wang Yu was a married man so he was never going to give up sleep just to fight a BOSS with them. He would get into a lot of trouble…
On the next day before 8 am, Wang Yu went online. After going online, Wang Yu realised that there were a few sneaky players kneeling around the alley of Hermit.
"Eh? What is happening? Someone is kneeling on the streets of an NPC?" Wang Yu questioned in the guild chat.
Fearless asked, "That is very normal as nobody in this game is a fool. It is already considered decent that our strategy can last for one day without people realising."
Indeed, paper will never be able to contain fire. No matter how effective the Quan Zhen Sect's initial bluff was, the truth will always come out. 
After completing over ten quests without activating the hidden quest, the players finally realised that they were being fooled by the strategies provided to them on the forum. Therefore, they looked for other breakthrough points.
There were many other capable players in the game so it was reasonable for some of them to find the street NPCs. When all of the monsters in Twilight City were cleared yesterday night, someone already thought of this so there was definitely going to have more people in the other main cities who would have thought the same. 
"So are we still going to continue grinding today?" Wang Yu looked at the time and there was still less than five minutes to 8 am. After 8 am, the quests would be refreshed and if everyone knew how to complete the quests effectively, it would mean that it wouldn't be easy for them today. 
Of course, the players from Quan Zhen Sect were not afraid. This group of fellas managed to collect all the fragments from four main cities. At this moment, they were almost able to form one cape for each of them. Therefore, it didn't matter whether they continued grinding. 
Fearless replied, "Of course we have to grind! After this event, the fragments will be worth a lot of money. Not picking up money is the same as throwing money away."
Fearless was right because the flight effect of a cape was indeed too alluring. The limit for each main city was merely 350 and with such rarity in production, the price of one fragment might even cost more than an equipment itself. Therefore, it wouldn't be a bad thing for them to collect more fragments.
"Then we can only wait for the BOSS now," Wang Yu replied.
There were too many players surrounding the NPCs on the streets. While it was true that the Quan Zhen Sect was dominant in this city, they were still reputable people who loved their pride. Stealing monsters in the open was not something they could do casually.
"That is not a worry! We can do it this way!" Fearless sent Wang Yu a message with a smiley face.
"This works too?" When Wang Yu saw Fearless' message, he asked in confusion.
Fearless smiled and replied, "Of course it works! We will be able to weigh what everyone wants at the end!"
"Alright!" Wang Yu pondered upon it and made his decision to trust Fearless.
Just as the event was about to refresh, a public announcement could be heard across Twilight City.
City Lord Announcement: All the street NPCs are reserved by Quan Zhen Sect so nobody is to activate any quest.
"F*ck!" When everyone heard the City Lord's announcement, the players from Twilight City rolled their eyes.
Even though the Quan Zhen Sect were illustrious and glorious in Twilight City, it was simply ridiculous for them to keep the entire event for themselves. Just because they didn't allow anybody to activate the quest, it didn't mean they wouldn't activate it.
The Quan Zhen Sect was naturally not going to believe that everybody in Twilight City would obey the City Lord's instructions. With over a hundred thousand players, the Quan Zhen Sect would have no means of finding out who tried to activate the quests secretly.
At this moment, another public announcement could be heard.
City Lord Announcement: If the Quan Zhen Sect is unable to collect 300 fragments, I will not release any BOSS!
"F*ck! That is way too despicable!" Looking at the second announcement, every player in Twilight City flew into a rage.
Damn it! If everyone could snort disdainfully at the first announcement, they would have to reconsider their options after seeing the second announcement.
All the players in Twilight City would only have one fragment each at this point because Wang Yu led his team to kill the Fantasy Goblin BOSS.
If the Quan Zhen Sect chose not to take action, they could only kill the BOSS by outnumbering him. Even when that happens, the entire main city will only receive 350 fragments.
Three hundred fifty fragments for over a hundred thousand players… Only a minority of them would be able to receive it.
If the Quan Zhen Sect chose to take action, there would be over a hundred thousand fragments for everyone to have one each.
This was especially true for players in a guild. By allowing the Quan Zhen Sect to kill the BOSS, it would be extremely meaningful. One must know that a guild would have five hundred players and guilds like Sanguine Alliance and Void Blade would have even more. The more players they have, the greater the rewards…
This way, going against the Quan Zhen Sect would be equivalent to going against the entire Quan Zhen Sect.
Between choosing to secure one fragment and fighting for a small possibility to receive one fragment, the answer was obvious.
After seeing the announcement, the players from Twilight City obediently gave up the idea of going after the street NPCs. They continued to try for the willow quests. 
And those players from guilds even sent people to surround the street NPC to await the Quan Zhen Sect's arrival to finish the job.
Everything was so peaceful and this was only possible in Twilight City.
With such strong support from the citizens, the quest completion rate became relatively high.
In less than an hour's time, the three hundred fantasy goblins in Twilight City had been killed by the Quan Zhen Sect. Just like yesterday, the Fantasy Goblin BOSS also descended from the sky.
With Wang Yu around, everyone knew how to deal with the Fantasy Goblin BOSS easily. It didn't take long for the BOSS to be killed.
Fantasy Goblin defeated. Every player in the city to receive +1 fragment to everyone's delight.

A few days passed after Hiroshi completed the quest of killing the Mulings of the Brilliant god school. And along with that quest, the quest to destroy the Brilliant god school in the Sun Dynasty completed as well.
Now Hiroshi only had two more quests left to complete, the destruction of Taiyi fantasy sect plaguing the world and to save the Emperor Xuanyuan.
Both of these quests will require a lot of time and efforts.
Taiyi fantasy sect was one of the hegemonic existences that practically oversaw the entire human civilization. Even with Hiroshi's strength, completely destroying the sect was impossible.
Thus Hiroshi could only steadily increase his strength and lay down a foundation of an organization that could go against the Taiyi fantasy sect.
And these things would take a lot of time and efforts.
After completing the quest, he didn't return back to iron blood camp. Instead he went to look for the fuse that was going to end the war. The person fighting with the iron blood camo was still his clone.
The master alchemist that essentially ended this war between Sun Dynasty and Norman Empire. Being an Alchemist had its own advantages. If Hiroshi becomes an Alchemist as well, then he would never have to fear about gathering resources and people to go up against the Taiyi fantasy sect.
The best place to look for him was of course in Kalur. But when he infiltrated the Selindor clan where the master Alchemist was supposed to be at, he found that the master Alchemist for some reason had gone to a nearby city, Balpei.
Following his trail, he infiltrated the Balpei city as well and found him within a day.
The master alchemist that stood far above normal people and the person strong and influential enough to stop the great war by simply auctioning two bombs was currently happily shopping alongside several women.
Hiroshi rubbed his eyes before matching his face again with the person in the memories of an elder of Selindor clan.
He looked totally different. The person in the elder's memory was an high and mighty alchemist that rarely talked and had held his high like a peacock. But the person right in front of his eyes was laughing and giggling with the beauties surrounding him.
Maybe it was as they say, being surrounded by beauties was the greatest bliss. Even the stoic master Alchemist was not able to maintain his stoic nature as he frolicked amongst them.
He also had two old men with him who acted as his bodyguards. Upon looking at them, Hiroshi was sure that they were Knights which made the things trickier.
He clicked his tongue in annoyance and stealthily followed them. After sometime, he saw them enter a boutique.
He activated his Byakugan and looked inside. Inside the shop, he saw that all the ladies that followed the alchemist were not even selecting the clothes...instead they were picking them up by bunch while looking for more. In a few instants, the entire shop was swiped cleaned. The master Alchemist simply laughed boisterously and left after paying for everything.
As Hiroshi wanted to follow the entourage further to obtain an opportunity to read through the memories of the master Alchemist, he heard a commotion from inside the boutique. It was a fight between a man and a woman.
"Linda! I've liked your hot figure from the moment I saw you. Become my mistress and I'll pay off all your debts and give you a luxurious life."
"Mr. Beise! Please let go of my hand. You are hurting me."
"Just say yes. And I'll let go. And don't you dare say no. Your father owed me a huge debt. If you are not going pay for it then who will? Don't act like a saintess in front of me."
Hiroshi frowned and remembered that it was Linda from the original work. Her wavy maroon hairs made her look extremely enchanting. It was no wonder that that bastard wanted to force himself on her and immediately made a move when the large group of customers left the shop. It would seem that when he saw that Linda had made a huge profit today, he panicked and decided that he shouldn't give Linda more time.
Hiroshi eyes brightened up upon seeing her and he immediately decided to help.
"Stop!! Let her go, you bastard."
Hiroshi shouted.
His shout stopped both Linda and Mr. Beise.
Mr. Beise wanted to say something but before he could, Hiroshi appeared right in front of him and gave him a light slap. Like a canon Mr. Beise was shot and crashed into the wall beside him. When he slipped down, a cavity that vaguely looked like him appeared in the wall.
Linda who saw it was surprised and looked at the man who have saved her.
"Are you okay miss?"
Hiroshi asked handing her a handkerchief to clean her face.
Linda subconsciously took the handkerchief.
"Thank you!!"
She gently bowed a bit and thanked Hiroshi. Hiroshi waved his hand and said.
"Don't worry about it. It was just a slight effort on my part."
Linda looked at the man who had saved her and saw that he looked quite handsome. And coupled with the gentle smile smile he had on his face, she felt quite at ease with him.
"No. I must really thank my saviour."
"Then how about you take me to the best place to drink? I have heard that Balpei's beer is the best in the Kalur region."
Hiroshi wanted to see if something could happen between himself and Linda. Linda was beautiful and extremely loyal person. Hiroshi couldn't help but have some thoughts for her. Linda candidly agreed as well and Hiroshi left before giving a kick to the unconscious Mr. Beise. One could hear a few bones had cracked when Hiroshi kicked him.
Hiroshi resumed tailing the master Alchemist. The reason he had to tail and follow him was because Hiroshi was sure that he shouldn't be careless around those Knights and the man himself.
The knights were of course strong and even if that man himself was nowhere as strong as him, he might have a few things that can make the situation tricky.
Thankfully, when the ladies got tired of shopping, they decided to go back to the hotel they were staying at and Hiroshi found a nice chance when the master alchemist decided to  smoke alone in a room.
Hiroshi didn't know if it was a habit but those knights didn't go inside the room.
"Who cares?? I should hurry instead of worrying about stupid things."
Hiroshi immediately put a barrier around the room and silently teleported inside. And only after he had put the master Alchemist to sleep that his taut nerves relaxed.
He went through the man's memories and gained plethora of knowledge about several methods of compounding different things.
He even ransacked the master alchemist of all the paper notes and nearly made a million gold coin profit.
But from the memories of master alchemist, it was nothing but a loose change for him.
Hiroshi could only sigh at the lucrative nature of the alchemist profession and left the isolated room leaving behind the unconscious master Alchemist.

I'm floating in this endless void of white where am I? I do not know. I had a name but it's long been faded away in this endless passage of time. 

All I can see is this loading bar [ 99.999996% completion to gift.]

 I guess maybe this is my purpose it's to find out what this gift is. (Many thousands of years go by as I float into an endless distance but one day it actually hit 100%)

The screen in front of me changed and had two words [ Open Me ] I hit it as fast as i could and the next thing I noticed is darkness finally darkness.

But then there was a voice ( "hmm status! no maybe "system activate" that goddess said that I would be reborn with a powerful gift "Where is it") 

A new set of words appeared before my eyes [ Except Host ] or [ Decline Host ]

When i hit the except button then 3 new tabs showed up they were [ Hosts Status ] [ Quest Builder ] and lastly [ Inheritance Store ].

I hit first [ Hosts Status ]...

[Name: Conner Maddox]
[Age: 16 ]
[Potential 8.7]
[Level: 4 ( 51/900)]
[Stats: Strength 9
Endurance  7
Stamina 13
Will 19
Intelligence  9
Luck 21]

When I hit the hosts status button all the knowledge I needed to understand it flew into my head. Wanting to know more I clicked [ Quest Builder ]

Once opened 3 option tabs showed up [ Pre Made Quests ] [ Custom Quests ] and lastly [ Main quests ].

Once i figured out what the quest builder is i hit [ Pre Made Quests ] and a list of Quests were given that all aimed at Conner getting stronger or used to the new world. 

There were three slots where i could drag those quests into i decided to go with the first 3 quests recommended and then hit escape coming back to the Menu screen. 

I choice the last thing on the menu the [ Inheritance store ]...

Then a giant tree of endless possibilities and names came up in front of me. In the right hand corner there was a icon of a glowing golden orb with a 3 next to it.

I hovered over it with my finger and a box with words came up...
[This is the indicator of the amount of inheritance points you have to spend.]

I went back down to the bottom of the tree were there were 3 boxes of skills to chose from the first was...

[Skill: status screen]
[Gives the host of the inheritance the ability to call out the word "Status" and a screen will appear that states there Name, Age, Level and 3 most basic stats End, Str, Int.] {Costs 3 pts)

The second was...

[Skill: One Random low level bloodline]
[Gives host of the system a random 1 star bloodline the bloodlines will have minor effects with the best having a 3.5 improvement to potential.] {Costs 2 pts)

and lastly...

[Skill: Fast Growth ]
[This is a skill that allows the host to speed up the time needed to comprehend skills/abilities by 10%] {Cost 5 pts)

Thinking back to what i heard, and remembering the host say something about a "status"  i chose option 1 after i spent my points i hit the exit button.

A new option appeared on the menu [ link to host ] the rest of the options grayed out and only this one was left. learning from previous experience's I hovered my index finger over the option.

[link to host means that you have finished all your preparations with the host and will bind to the hosts soul until there death.]

taking a deep breath I thought it can't be worse then the void so why not...

{ Pov change }

Conner waking up looked around and seeing that there was a mid evil/fantasy looking village in the distance smiled and said "Yes I'm in a fantasy world that no good for nothing goddess didn't lie to me." 

looking down he noticed that he was naked "Maybe I spoke to soon!" he replied "Now if I remember correctly she promised me a clinch Isekai power."

"hmm status! no maybe "system activate" that goddess said that I would be reborn with a powerful gift "Where is it?"

Conner started to freak out when he realized he may have nothing "Dont get me wrong going to a fantasy world is fun and all but without any advantages my life could be a goner at any time... before Conner could finish his rant a screen popped up in front of him.

Do you except the binding of the inheritance? [ yes ] or [ No ]

Seeing this Conner's grin reached a never before seen height before without a second thought he hit the [ yes ] button.

and thus begins our story...

I bet you have heard of stories where you die and get some wishes or a powerful system well that was not my fate. When I was human I changed a lot of peoples lives and I guess that's my purpose evan after my death if Im not the op character I'm the one who makes them im the inheratence.

Chapter 42. Aristocrat (3)
'I should hurry.'
Ian rushed to Count Ravenstein's estate after getting the quest. He didn't want to waste more of his time talking with Gran.
Another reason was that he quickly wanted to finish the quest given by Lanson.
The hatching method of his pet egg was also on the line here. With all these things, Ian couldn't help but rush a little. 
The Count's estate wasn't far away and Ian was able to find it quickly.
It was a big and grandeur estate that could be properly described as a mansion. It was enough to show the prominence of the Count rank. 
"What do you want?"
As Ian reached the entrance of the mansion, some guards blocked his way. 
It was understandable since ordinary people couldn't enter noble's houses without permission. Ian knew that too.
That's why, he didn't panic and said.
"I'm here to meet with the esteemed Count Ravenstein."
"Why do you want to meet him?"
The guards were more suspicious when Ian said that he was here to meet with the Count. For the guards, Ian was just a hillbilly wearing a black cloak.
"Gran told me about the illness of the former Count and I thought that I would be able to help."
"Gran told you about it?"
Ian nodded his head and the guards frowned. The topic of the former Count's illness was a sensitive one for them.
"Wait until I talk to the knight captain."
One of the guards quickly went inside and after a while, he came back with a bearded burly man who was wearing a chain armour and had a Greatsword on his back.
The bearded burly man was the knight captain here. He introduced himself as Vlass. 
"Gran is my friend. I told him to introduce me to a capable mercenary to go get the antidote for the old Count. If he told you about this, then, you must be capable. Come follow me!!"
Vlass said in a slight rough tone and gestured for Ian to follow him.
'I didn't know Gran's friend was a knight captain.'
It looks like Gran would often come here to meet with Vlass and because of that, most of the guards knew of Gran.
At the same time, Ian thought that Gran was more than just a simple employee in the Mercenary association.
A knight captain was a high class job among the commoners.
There was even a possibility of getting promoted to a lower noble. Gran knowing Vlass made Ian doubt his identity.
As Ian was thinking about all this, Vlass led him to a room on the third floor of the mansion. 
It was actually Count Ravenstein's office.
"Did something happened, Vlass?"
Count Ravenstein raised his face from some documents and looked at his knight captain before asking.
"Yes, this is a mercenary recommended by Gran. I think we can trust him on this matter."
Ian moved a step further when Vlass said that. He then lowered his head in a bow and introduced himself.
His back was straightened despite him bowing. It was a position which is often used by nobles when greeting other higher nobles.
"My name is Ian. I'm just a mere mercenary but I will do my best to fulfil the job, given by the esteemed Count Ravenstein."
Count Ravenstein eyes shined when he heard that. It was because Ian's posture and way of talking was unusual for a commoner.
It was almost like he was a noble.
"Have you taken any etiquette classes?"
"Yes. Before coming to meet the Count, I took some etiquette classes. I did not dare to show any unsightly behaviour in front of the Count."
Count Ravenstein nodded his head with a satisfied expression. 
It was not the first time he was meeting with a mercenary but he had never seen a mercenary like Ian before.
Other mercenaries were rough and blunt, but Ian was elegant and smooth. If he said that he was a noble, then the Count would even believe it.
'My experience from the fantasy world is working here too.'
Ian had a small smirk as he thought about his time in the fantasy world.
As a famous mercenary, he often used to take request from nobles. He got familiar to their antics pretty soon.
He even went on to learn some etiquette as it was easy to deal with nobles this way. 
His experience was working on Count Ravenstein now.
"I will go straight to the point. You already know about my father's illness. Recently, one of our informers reported that an old alchemist has found the antidote of the poison."
"I know about that."
Count Ravenstein nodded and continued.
"The old alchemist lives in a village called Ale, not far from the capital. I wish you to go there and bring the antidote as soon as possible."
When Count Ravenstein finished his words, the quest The cure for the Count changed to The cure for the Count 2.
Ian didn't received any rewards despite completing the quest but he didn't think too much about it.
The cure for the Count was also a chain quest and sometimes, rewards would be given after the completion of all the quest in a chain quest.
"I will go to the Ale village as soon as possible."
"I expect good things from you."
Ian accepted the second quest too. Then, he was led to the horse stables by Vlass. It was to give him a horse for his journey.
Ian had ridden many horses in the fantasy world. 
So, he was even more familiar with horses than a horse trainer.
Literally, every mercenary would use horses to travel in the fantasy world. As there were no cars and bikes, horses were the staple means of transportation. 
"Will you be able to ride a horse?"
"Yes, I have ridden one before. So, I'm familiar with them."
Vlass nodded and handed Ian the rein of one of the horses. It was a healthy-looking horse with brown fluttering hair.
"I hope you will be fast as the old Count's health isn't good."
"Don't worry. I won't disappoint you."
Ian quickly got up on the horse. Then, he straightened his back and tried to balance his body. He was soon able to control the horse.
"It looks like you are really experienced."
Vlass nodded with a satisfied expression. His friend had recommended a capable mercenary.
'I will have to hurry.'
Ian thought as he left the Count's mansion and headed towards the Ale village in the east. 
It was the start of his next adventure!!
* * *
"My back hurts…"
Lu Fei muttered as he lifted his head up. His back was hurting because he was just riding his horse for the last two days.
Although he didn't have any problems riding the horse, his current body was not familiar with it at all.
Because of that, he felt like his back was hurting. 
Ark was a realistic game. So, if one would work really hard in Ark, then they would also start feeling the tiredness in real life.
Honestly, it was more of a mental state than a physical one.
"Brother Lu!!"
Lu Fei turned his head to the side when he heard that voice. A chubby guy with a lot of fat quickly came to his seat.
He was the fatty Lu Fei had saved from the bullies, Xiao Ming. 
He had once helped Lu Fei when he was pondering on how to defeat Krysil. After that, they became good friends. 
"Brother Lu, let's eat lunch together?"
"Ah, it's already lunchtime?"
Lu Fei was sleeping since he came to school and no one bothered to disturb him. So, he didn't even know what time it was.
"You are really awesome. You sleep the whole day in class but teachers will just ignore you."
Xiao Mind laughed when he heard that and said in admiration but Lu Fei just smiled embarrassingly.
Sleeping in class wasn't a particularly good thing. Getting ignored by the teachers simply mean that he was a troublemaker.
It was not a thing to be proud of.
"Brother Lu, last time we met, you said that you were playing Ark, right?"
Xiao Ming suddenly said.
Xiao Ming already knows of Lu Fei's background. He was in tears when he heard that Lu Fei was taking care of his sister alone.
He also knew about Lu Fei playing Ark to earn money in it.
"Yeah, I'm indeed playing it."
"Well, I found about a method that can help you earn money and you will even get fame if you are successful."
Lu Fei's eyes widened when he heard that.
If there was a method that will help him earn more money, then he would of course do it, no matter how difficult it would be.
"What's the method."
"It's called paid videos…"
Creak! 
As Xiao Ming was explaining, the door to the classroom suddenly opened, and a female teacher walked inside.
She was obviously Fang Xue.
"Lu Fei, come with me."
She immediately pointed her finger towards Lu Fei and gestured him to come with her.
It was too sudden that everyone in the class was confused. 
"Brother Lu, did you make any trouble?"
Lu Fei shook his head and replied.
"No, I don't think so."
After replying, Lu Fei quietly left with Fang Xue in front of him.
'What does Ms. Fang want with him?'
Standing alone, Xiao Ming thought to himself.
* * *
'It's just like the first time I was here.'
Lu Fei thought in his head, as he stared at Fang Xue in front of him. He recalled the incident that happened a month ago.
It was also the first time Lu Fei had talked to Fang Xue.
Although, their first talk hadn't ended in good terms, the relationship between Fang Xue and Lu Fei has grown since then.
"Why was I called here?"
Lu Fei calmly asked but Fang Xue was just staring at her laptop. After a second she raised her head and looked at Lu Fei.
"You were skipping school again."
Fang Xue's face was calm, but Lu Fei was able to see some traces of anger and dissatisfaction on her pretty face.
'Will she be angry if I told her that I was busy fighting with a lizard?'
Lu Fei thought but as he was about to answer, Fang Xue sighed and spoke.
"Let's leave that. The reason must be something like you were busy with that game called Ark or something."
Lu Fei scratched his head when he heard that. Fang Xue's guess was right.
"What are your thoughts on university?"
Fang Xue suddenly asked and Lu Fei quickly replied.
"I think it's necessary for everyone to attend an university. In this age, without university, people can't get a good job and not getting a good job means that one would not earn much and money is the most important thing to sustain life."
Lu Fei said without stopping and Fang Xue furrowed her eyebrows when she heard that.
She touched her forehead and leaked out a frown. She was contemplating on whether Lu Fei was joking with her or not.
In the end, she changed her question.
"What are your thoughts on entering a university?"
'Will she lecture me about going to a university?'
Lu Fei thought in his head but he knew that he couldn't run away from it. That's why, he replied honestly.
"I don't have any thoughts on entering an university. I can't pass the entrance exams even if I want to enter a university."
Lu Fei suddenly recalled the conversation he had with his sister. His sister was still angry about it and they even have some arguments about it.
'Why do all the people around me want me to enter a university?'
Even Zhao Na was asking him if he was preparing for his university entrance exams some days ago, when he was at work. 
Lu Fei couldn't enter university even if he wanted to. That's the truth that he had already accepted from a long time. 
But Fang Xue next words stunned him.
"What if I said that you still have a chance to enter a university?"

Lu Fei, a debt ridden orphan who struggles through his daily life. His only wish is to provide a good life to his sister.

With the threats of the loan sharks knocking on his door, he sets out to try his luck in the VR game called 'Ark'.

With a dark past as a returner and Ian has his alias, he fights in Ark for a better future for his sister.

Will he be able to reach the top?

What will happen when he suddenly got a mysterious class and he can hear the voices of spirits?

One hundred years ago, Earth was thrown into complete chaos. This chaos was caused by a phenomenon called 'World Fusion'. World Fusion was by the name said, was a phenomenon that caused Earth to fuse with another world. It was not a fusion between planets like Earth and Mars but it was between Earth and another Earth from different dimension or universe. However, world fusion not only happened on Earth but also other planets like Mars, Jupiter, Venus and etc. The fusion even happened to the sun and moon. 

When World Fusion happened, everyone on Earth saw many Earth appeared in the sky and then the fusion started. After the World Fusion happened, humans found out that Earth becomes 10 times bigger than before. The continent in original Earth was not there anymore and many new continents appeared. The World Fusion terraformed original Earth to a completely new Earth. 

However, before more research can be made, human's technology was crushed by monsters that mutated from the normal animals. The human tried to fight the monsters with weapons but it was to no avail. Luckily, at that time human suddenly gained what people who loves fantasy comics called magic and bit by bit, human managed to defeat the monsters. 

Later on, humans found out that not only the Earth becomes bigger, but the living things on the other Earth also were on this new Earth. Other than mutated animals, original monsters from the other Earth can be found and they were much more dangerous than the mutated animals. Humans also found that other different intelligent beings like Elf, Dwarves and Beastman can be found on this new Earth. This new Earth turned into the world of fantasy but not as beautiful as what was pictured in comics and animations.

"Haha, so today our Daniel will awaken his magic," said Dean. Dean was Daniel oldest brother who was 7 years older than him. After he awaken, he gained so much famed in his generation since he gained a potential of one of the special elements, the time element. He immediately become Amery Kingdom national treasure and Amery Kingdom's King married him to one of his princesses. 

"Don't embarrass us and awakened a useless potential," said Declan, Daniel's second brother who was 3 years older than him. He awakened a potential called conqueror. One of this potential's power gives him boost in leading people. There were a few other potentials with the same effects but conqueror was the best one. 

"Declan, stop intimidating Daniel," said Delilah. Delilah was Daniel's sister and his oldest siblings. Delilah was 2 years older than Dean. She awakened the healer potential. Healer potential was not rare but it was seeking by many since it was a useful potential.

"Stop pressuring your brother. We can't control what we awaken. It will all be luck. Dean and Declan, you both got lucky and awakened a rare potential but that does not mean anything if you can't use it properly. Dean, the princess complained to me that you play around with your magic too much and Declan, you got too stubborn and not listening to anything your party member said," said their father with serious voice.

Dean and Declan did not say anything and went silent. It has become a tradition for Daniel's family to get together when someone awakened their power. Delilah, Dean and Daniel came back home because Daniel will awaken his power that day. 

People will awaken their magic on their 15th birthday at the same time they were born. Daniel's birthday was on December and he awakened his power much later than most of his peers. His friends already made some fame for themselves but Daniel still stuck not being able to do anything. 

"Dad, what do you think I will get?" asked Daniel to his dad. 

"It is random. It will be all luck. Well, no matter what potential you awaken, I know you will be fine," said Daniel's dad.

"That's right, Daniel. All potential has their uses. So, you will be fine," said Daniel's mom.

They were talking to each other more waiting for Daniel's awakening to arrive. While talking, Daniel's body suddenly enveloped in light. The time for his awakening has come. The light went on for about 3 minutes and disappeared. 

"Daniel! How is it? What is your potential?" asked Dean.

"Status open," said Daniel and a status of himself appeared.

Name: Daniel
Age: 15
Potential: Shooting
Level: 1/1

Daniel looked at his status and he got a disappointed face. "Urm~ I guess I am not as lucky as all of you. Sigh," said Daniel.

"What do you get?" asked Daniel's dad.

"My potential is shooting but my level limit is one," said Daniel.

"Shooting is good potential and your level limit can be raised so I don't think you are unlucky," said Declan.

"Urm~ My stats all G-. That will be super hard to raise," said Daniel.

"… I'm sure you will be fine. You just need to work harder than other people," said Dean trying to cheer Daniel.

G- is the lowest stats possible. In order to raise stat, people need to increase in level. Every level increase will increase one of the stats by one percent. Once the stat reached one hundred percent, the stat will increase to higher rank. There were other ways to increase stats and that was to train their body that will increase the stats that they wanted but this method was hard. 

"I need to be at least at level 100 to increase one of my stats to G. That is reassuring," said Daniel with a mocking face. 

"What stats do you get?" asked Declan.

"Attack, speed, accuracy, intelligent, magic and luck," said Daniel.

When someone awakened their power, they will get 6 stats relating to their potential. The stats obtain was different from person to another person. Their stats will usually determine the ways they use their potential. 

"You got good stats but I guess you are unlucky. It is time for me to leave. Mom, dad, I am going," said Declan. He stood up and left the house. 

"I think I am going back too," said Dean who followed Declan. 

"Good luck Daniel," said Delilah and she also left the house.

"Daniel, you can come helping me if you decide not to develop your power," said Daniel's dad. "I can put you in the logistics team." Daniel's dad was a general in the military. He did not have a rare potential but he knows how to develop his power and becomes strong. 

"Thank you, dad. Let me think about it first," said Daniel. Daniel left the living room and entered his room. He went to his bed and jumped on it. He put his face on the pillow and screamed to reduce his frustration. He looked at his room ceiling and check his stats again. "Why am I so unlucky?" said Daniel. 

"But still, this system is amazing. This is just like games but reality is different than games. If the enemy slash you, you will bleed and possibly died. For someone like me without defense stat, our body is not much different than a normal human," said Daniel. He keeps fiddling with his system. He checked his stats, inventory, equipment, and lastly his quest menu. 

At first, Daniel did not want to click on his quest menu as there will be nothing since he did not take any quest. The quest menu was simply a menu that recorded the quest taken by user. Daniel did not take any quest so the quest menu was empty. However, Daniel got curious how it looks like, so he decided to take a look. Daniel click on the quest menu. Daniel's eyes wide opened and he quickly get up from his bed.

"What is this? Why are there so many quests here?" said Daniel.

"Daily quest? Continuous Quest? Emergency Quest? Normal Quest? Life Quest?" said Daniel. According to books and people, there were only two types of quest. Completed quest and Uncompleted quest but Daniel quest menu was different.

"Let's check the emergency quest first. The name sound important and there is one quest inside," said Daniel. He clicked the emergency quest menu and a quest with red colored words appeared.

'A kitten was drowning at your koi pond. Save the kitten. Time Limit: 3 minutes 24 seconds. Completion: 0%. Reward: increase level limit by 2. Failed: The kitten died.' The system read.

"What?" Daniel quickly looked at the window and there indeed a kitten drowning at his koi pond. Daniel quickly rushed outside and saved the kitten from drowning. 

"Phew~ luckily I was fast. Hey little guy, are you okay?" said Daniel while petting the kitten and wrapped it with thick towel. He went inside the house and put the kitten near the fireplace. 

'Ting~ Quest complete. Reward obtains. Level limit increase to 3.' The system notified Daniel.

"Haha, this is great!" said Daniel with a big smile on his face.

100 years ago, Earth was thrown into chaos when a phenomenon called 'World Fusion' happened. After 'World Fusion' ended, every living creature on earth started to change. Animals and plants mutate and become monsters while human awakened magic. 

Daniel is just a normal teenager waiting for his 15th birthday to come. Since his birthday is in December, he awaken his magic a lot later than his friends. 

When his birthday comes, he finally awaken his magic however, his system is a bit different than others. His quest menu automatically gives him quest and completion rewards but there is a new quest type he never heard of before. Life Quest.

This is the story of Daniel trying his hardest to complete his Life Quest.

Stepping outside of a general store in Lily Town was MindOfJulia (party leader), Gamerat (member), Slimy Gamer (member), and Extremity. Taking a closer look, MindOfJulia did have a decent body figure especially so with her perky butt from the tight leather leggings. As for Gamerat and Slimy Gamer, they were both obediently following her from behind without questioning her action nor choice. Most likely the personal bodyguards of her.

The most eye-catching of the two is the way they handled their weapon and their natural tight muscular body, pretty experienced. Even so, Extremity did not care, they are just passerby doing the same quest. Though, they are missing a party member. The moment the other three around him took a closer inspection of the surrounding outside did they noticed how many bones have already surrounded the general store. 

Gamerat and Slimy Gamer cried out at the same time, "Protect the miss!"

Right after, they both rush in the front to be the meat shield. However, they were also confused by the bones' green status so Extremity could only give a small explanation.

Extremity said, "Don't worry, they won't bite." He continued, "Come over, Boris, here." 

MindOfJulia asked in curiosity, "How?" She paused for a second before asking more, "Sir, are those your summons? Are you a necromancer? O-or a summoner? What is your class? I-"

Afterward, with a quick gesture, Extremity quickly cut MindOfJulia off, "Tamer."

MindOfJulia instantly lost her interest afterward, "Oh..." Then she was lost in deep thinking.

Eyeing the little lady's gaze in front of him, Extremity started to have a headache. As someone who does not like to socialize and prefer a quiet environment, he needs to maintain his tranquility. However, such a curious cat like the young lady before him. He could only calmly rub his bulging headache.

Without much socialization, Extremity quietly follows behind the trio while listening to their conversation. He could already roughly guess the identity of the young lady before him. The last member that they are meeting must have been someone important seeing how they are rushing to the south gate of Lily Town. Without a hitch, the party manages to gather a lot of attention especially the bones walking through the crowd of players.

At the south gate was an old man with a rough whitish-gray beard, wrinkly dry skins, and hunch-back. The old man was very appealing because of the board sword, sheath, behind him. It was not an ordinary board sword. An old man with a hunch-back can carry an abnormal board sword and play games is a spectacle view. Most of the worldwide players range from teenagers to the middle age group, so seeing an old man is something extremely rare. It only later did the older age group become more common as Fantasy Online become more popular and worldwide.

It was as expected, the old man was one of the party members after comparing the party member list's name to the name hovering over the top of the old man's head, OldGrampOfJulia. The story of the old man is obvious, the old man may have really high status in society. The old man may also play the game just for his granddaughter or from the old man's high interest in the game. Either way, Extremity only care about completing the quest before splitting up with them afterward.

However, even though he did not care about them. He could empathize with the grandfather and granddaughter duo. It may have been the blowing wind or the dusty air, but his eyes watered a little bit. Though, just a little bit before turning his gaze away toward observing the surroundings. The scene of the two really remind him of his grandfather, he really missed his grandfather, too. After a deep breath, he finally calmed down before following along with the four, Southwestward.

During the journey toward Southwest, there would occasionally be a few encounters which consist of orb hounds encounter and no rare encounter at all. However, the split experiences were not even worth Extremity's time when he could just get full experience alone. Let alone that, the loot was also split evenly which was a headache when each person's personal items were only a fifth of the items drop. Forming team for others may be efficient, but for Extremity who has his own army of bones from Boris' summoning. Having the extra baggage is not worth his effort nor did he need to care about the advantages of numbers of a party.

Even so, having a party does have some advantages as a player get stronger and more diverse they find themselves in the vast fantasy world, so having someone from the other field to boost their own was a must. That is where guilds come into play. Later in the late game, joining a guild is a must since an average player can not handle the stronger mobs which will be a detrimental effect on their leveling progress and the difference of becoming an elite player or an average player.

Following behind the four, Extremity could only sigh at the slow progression of the quest. They have been on the way for roughly two or three hours, however, they have yet to encounter the two-tailed rare variant orb hound and its pack. Yet, the party is randomly going Southwestward, but they were completely clueless about how to tackle this quest. It was an hour later that they manage to get a lucky encounter through the massacre of many orb hounds.

A normal orb hound usually consists of grey, white, or brown patches, but for the two-tailed rare variant, orb hound was fully cover in glistering of hot red fur (Lvl 35|50). Likewise, each string of fur was like glitters reflecting the sunlight like a natural aura that has gathered around the body of the two-tailed rare variant orb hound. It was especially noticeable when it's figure is twice the size of a normal hound and it's wolfish features that are unlike a normal orb hound. There were at least fifteen red condensed orbs the size of a human head hovering over the two-tailed rare variant orb hound.

Seeing the two-tailed rare variant orb hound, OldGrampOfJulia and Gamerat were the first to rush forward along with their weapon in hand. While MindOfJulia started channeling her spells and Slimy Gamer draw his bow. As for Extremity, he stood guard for the two in the back while Boris leads his army of bones to flank the back of the two-tailed rare variant orb hounds. The two-tailed rare variant orb hounds crouch down with tense muscle along a twisted face of aggression, readying its own stance toward the invader. 

The picturesque of the battle from afar was exactly like a really drawn picture of a fantasy world. Sword drew blood, claws drew flesh, shield bashed enemy, fang tore through metals, magic flung through the air, red orbs made potholes, smaller white orb swung as a volley, bones smashed broken by furry limbs, and bones chewed on leather fur. Thus, end chapter fifteen.

A young adult suddenly became a man on his twelfth birthday. What's in store for him when he suddenly finds himself dreaming of the future? Is he going to believe his dream of the future or fall down even more in misery? Read now to find out.

Malam hari setelah Class Nine - World PVP Turnament selesai aku duduk di dalam kamar penginapan yang selalu aku gunakan didalam game.

Duduk di kursi aku melihat dua Item yang menjadi hadiah utama Tournament kali ini, mereka tergeletak bersampingan di atas meja.

Satu Item bernama Seed of Life, dia memiliki bentuk dasar seperti bola Rugby sebesar telapak tangan, bagian atas Item ini seperti terbuat dari permata berwarna hijau sedangkan di bagian bawah di selimuti oleh akar akar kayu berwarna coklat muda.

Seed of Life memperbolehkan aku membuat second character, tidak hanya itu Item ini juga memperbolehkan aku dengan bebas memilih Special Race (ras spesial) yang hanya dapat di beli dengan RM (real money) untuk membuat second character milikku.
Item kedua adalah Gaia Tears. Item ini memiliki bentuk cairan berwarna biru muda, dia dikemas dalam sebuah botol kecil transparan yang memiliki ukiran daun yang indah. Gaia Tears merupakan sebuah Item pendamping untuk Seed of Life, jika meneteskan Item ini ke Seed of Life second character yang di buat akan secara otomatis memperoleh sebuah Unique Skill secara random.

Membuat second character dan mendapat Unique Skill mungkin terdengar sederhana namun di Ark Fantasy Online keduanya sangat berharga.

Meski memiliki fitur reinkarnasi. Dimana seorang player dapat membuat character baru dan mendapat setengah jumlah Status dari character sebelumnya dengan mereset level character yang mereka gunakan menjadi level nol. VRMMO-RPG (virtual reality massively multiplayer online role playing game) Ark Fantasy Online tidak memperbolehkan pemainnya membuat second character. Satu Player hanya di perbolehkan membuat satu character.

Sedangkan untuk Special Race. Aku bisa mengatakan ini adalah hadiah yang cukup berharga. Seperti yang aku ucapkan sebelumnya, seseorang Player harus menggunakan RM untuk bisa membuat character dengan Special Race. Harga mereka cukup mahal tapi tidak semahal harga sebuah Mythical Weapons.
Sekarang kita sampai di Unique Skill. Meski bisa di dapatkan tanpa RM, seorang pemain harus mengerjakan Quest yang sangat sulit dengan waktu bermain yang lama agar bisa mendapat Unique Skill ini. Karena kondisi Quest yang sangat ekstrim itu, Unique Skill menjadi sangat langka. 

Aku dengar hanya ada tiga Player yang memperoleh Unique Skill sejak Ark Fantasy Online muncul sepuluh tahun yang lalu.

Dan sekarang mengetahui aku memiliki dua Item berharga ini, aku hanya bisa tersenyum.

Tidak membuang waktu aku langsung meneteskan Gaia Tears ke Seed of Life.  Cahaya redup berwarna hijau muncul di Seed of Life setelah menerima Gaia Tears, kemudian saat cahaya itu hilang aku menggunakan Seed of Life dengan menyentuhnya dan menekan tombol konfirmasi.

Menggunakan Seed of Life membuatku berpindah tempat keruang pembuatan character.

Tempat pembuatan Character merupakan sebuah daratan datar tanpa ujung yang terbuat dari langit biru yang cerah dengan kumpulan awan putih dan permukaan laut seperti cermin yang memantulkan pemandangan langit.

Tidak lama setelah aku sampai di tempat ini satu NPC (non player character) Angel muncul didepanku. Dia memiliki sosok seorang wanita cantik yang memiliki empat sayap bulu, rambut panjang bergelombang dan sebuah cincin cahaya di atas kepala yang berwarna emas. Dia mengenakan gaun putih dihiasi motif daun berwarna hijau, mata berpupil biru miliknya kini menatapku.

<welcome to character creation. please choose race for your character>

Sesaat setelah Angel mengucapkan itu puluhan sosok berbagai jenis ras muncul di hadapanku, Human, Elves, Dwarf, Beastkin, Slime, Orge, Dragon dan lain lain.
Melewati semua Normal Race aku langsung menuju kebagian dimana Special Race berada. Di sana aku bisa memilih Special Race seperti High Elves, Arc Demon, True Vampire, Ancient Dragon, Divine Beast dan beberapa Special Race lainnya.

Ark Fantasy Online memiliki ratusan jenis Race karena itu aku hanya bisa mengingat beberapa Normal Race serta Race yang menarik perhatianku.

Pemilihan Special Race ini membuatku bingung. Apa yang harus aku pilih?, High Elves, Arc Demon atau Divine Beast?. 

Setelah beberapa menit berlalu aku memutuskan untuk memilih Divine Beast - Nine Tail Fox. Alasan kenapa aku memilih Special Race ini karena Nine Tail Fox memiliki status dasar kelima terbesar dari seluruh Special Race yang tersedia, tidak hanya itu Special Race ini juga memiliki wujud yang sama dengan Beastkin, Special Race ini juga tidak memiliki banyak pantangan seperti Special Race lainya. Dengan sedikitnya pantangan yang dia miliki membuat aku masih bisa masuk ke sebagian besar kota yang ada di dalam Ark Fantasy Online. Sayangnya dengan memilih Special Race ini aku tidak bisa mengikuti sebagian besar Event Tournament PvP yang ada. 

Aku tidak berkecil hati dengan pantangan itu. Setidaknya aku tidak berakhir seperti Player kenalanku yang memilih Ancient Dragon yang sangat kuat dan berakhir tidak bisa masuk kedalam kota. Berkat pantangan yang dimiliki Ancient Dragon, dia hanya bisa mengikuti tiga Event dari semua Event yang ada di dalam game Ark Fantasy Online. 

Setelah aku selesai memilih Special Race NPC Angel melanjutkan proses pembuatan character.

<select the gender. male or female>
"huh?"

Mendengar ucapan NPC Angel membuatku terkejut. Biasanya para Player di Ark Fantasy Online hanya bisa membuat character sesuai dengan jenis kelamin mereka di dunia nyata, seorang pria hanya bisa membuat character pria dan seorang wanita hanya bisa membuat character wanita.

"Mungkin ini salah satu bonus yang di miliki seed of life. Hmm... karena aku sudah memiliki character pria mungkin lebih baik jika sekarang aku membuat character wanita?. Siapa tahu aku bisa masuk kedalam salah satu party yang hanya beranggotakan para wanita, kemudian setelah berkenalan dengan salah satu anggota mereka dan menjadi dekat dengannya, aku mungkin bisa melakukan pdkt dan berakhir dengan aku mendapat pacar sungguhan"

Hahaha.. aku rasa ini bukan ide yang buruk. Dengan niat mencari pacar aku memutuskan untuk membuat character wanita.

<how about the looks?. original or custom>

Setelah memilih Custom tanpa ragu aku mulai mengedit tampilan wajah dan tubuh character yang akan aku gunakan.

Satu jam kemudian seorang wanita cantik berdiri di depanku. Dia memiliki sepasang mata tajam berpupil ungu, memiliki beralis tembal menawan, hidung mancung dengan bentuk yang indah, bibir segar berwarna merah muda. Tidak hanya itu dia juga memiliki rambut panjang sepinggang, telinga rubah yang besar dan satu ekor lebat miliknya berwarna emas. 

Tinggi character wanita ini aku buat sama dengan tinggi tubuhku, seratus tujuh puluh lima cm. Aku membuat character ini dengan sosok wanita ideal idamanku, karena itu dia memiliki tubuh elegan yang tidak kalah dengan tubuh para model yang sering muncul di majalah "fesyen".

Second character milikku adalah wanita cantik nan menawan yang dapat mencuri hati para pria hanya dengan sebuah senyuman. Aku yakin character ini sempurna namun, entah mengapa aku merasa ada yang janggal.

"hmm.. aku tahu!. Usia dia. usia character ini sama dengan usiaku karena itu aku merasa ada yang janggal, aku harus membuat dia lebih muda. Tujuh tahun lebih muda dari usiaku yang sekarang. Aku ingin berpacaran dengan wanita yang lebih muda, "gadis di akhir masa remaja" bukankah kalimat itu memiliki getaran tersendiri?"

<please enter your character name>

"nama?, ini cukup sulit, aku tidak terlalu banyak mengetahui nama seorang wanita. Hmm..."

Reni, Rena, Lulu, Lilu, Nana, Nina, hmm....

Hmm...

"ah!. Ecalite!, menggunakan nama tokoh di dalam anime bukanlah ide yang buruk. Tidak hanya itu dengan menggunakan nama ini. Mungkin aku bisa berkenalan dengan wanita yang memiliki hobi yang sama denganku"

Memutuskan memilih nama itu aku menekan huruf di Keyboard Screen yang ada di depanku.

<did you accept 'Eclaite' as your character name?>

Tentus saja.

<please select your starting city destination>
> Capital City Gourdam
> Fanvail Free City
> Sky City Bolgurm
....

Karena aku ingin menjadi Adventure aku akan memilih "Dungeon City Rishtonbell".

<select your basic equipment pack>
> basic equipment pack A
> basic equipment pack B
...

Mereka bilang "basic equipment pack C" adalah pilihan terbaik, karena itu tanpa ragu aku memilihnya.

Basic Equipment Pack C berisi dua botol Potion, satu set Starting Clothes, sebuah Iron Short Sword, satu Blue Necklace, dan uang sebanyak empat puluh koin perak.
Empat puluh koin perak. Pantas saja Basic Equipment Pack C merupakan pilihan terbaik, Basic Equipment Pack A yang aku pilih sebelumnya hanya memiliki sepuluh koin perak didalamnya.

<with this your character creation is completed. prepare for the transfer>

Sesaat setelah NPC Angel mengatakan itu, character Aztaroth yang aku gunakan bertukar dengan character Eclaite yang baru aku buat. Setelah menjadi Eclaite Aztaroth yang baru saja aku gunakan berdiri di samping kiriku.

Magic Circle berwarna biru selebar satu meter kemudian muncul di bawah kakiku. Melihat mereka bersinar aku mengucapkan.

"aku tidak sabar ingin menjalani tutorial awal lagi"

<please enjoy your new life in new world>

Setelah NPC Angel mengucapkan itu tubuhku di selimuti cahaya biru sesaat kemudian aku kehilangan kesadaran.

Ada hal aneh yang mengganggu pikiranku sebelum aku kehilangan kesadaran. 

<please enjoy your new life in new world>

Seingatku, kalimat itu tidak pernah di ucapkan NPC Angel saat seorang Player selesai membuat character baru mereka.

As Gray locks his sights on the Cat-folk Warrior, he could not help but feel anxious, now grasping his staff tightly while assuming his own combat stance in preparation for whatever hostility that is to come at him.

But instead what came next has unquestionably caught the Elf off guard.

The Cat-folk Warrior, in contrast with his intimidating appearance, started laughing wholeheartedly.

'Huh?' Gray tilted his head in genuine confusion. 'What's gotten into him?'

"Hahahaha!!" The Cat-folk puts both hands on his hips as he stood proudly, his posture firm and unyielding like a tower. "No need to be so alarm, my friend. I won't judge someone's character that quickly just because of his Class. You have come for my help despite not having the obligations to do so."

The Elf certainly felt at eased knowing that the Cat-folk is actually an individual of good character. As such, Gray's demeanor also changes to match the friendly gesture being treated to him.

"Hehe, well to be pretty honest..." Gray chuckled as he scratches the back of his head. "My actions also led me here due to my Hunger for some Mana Essence."

"Yes." The Cat-folk nods in agreement with a cheerful smile. "But you also had the perfect opportunity of casting your magic at me when you had the advantage of the high ground earlier, feeding on me in the end, in which you deliberately did not. As such, you have earned my trust."

"Wow." Gray was pleasantly surprised at how open-minded this guy is. "You have my thanks then."

<QUEST COMPLETE!!>
<Brother at Arms!!>
<QUEST SUMMARY>
<Quest Completion> - Help the Cat-folk Warrior in defeating the Bandits [✓]
Quest Rewards Granted:
1,500 XP.

LEVEL UP!!
YOU RECEIVED  5 ATTRIBUTE POINTS!!
YOU RECEIVED 1 ABILITY POINT!!

Gray decided to ignore the system notifications for now since he does not want any interruptions in his conversation with the Cat-folk.

"I should be the one saying that to you, friend." The Cat-folk bares his toothy grin. Then his eyes widen as he appears to realize something. "Kah, it seems that we overlooked on the proper etiquette of acquainting oneself. Allow me to go first."

The Cat-folk removes one of his steel gauntlets, offering a handshake as he began his introductions. "The name's Isamu, Isamu Meiyo. In case you are wondering, my Class is a Warrior, more specifically, a <Champion>."

As the Cat-folk, Isamu finishes his introduction, the said details are now revealed on his status bar.

Isamu Meiyo
Level 14: <Champion>
Health: 1214 / 1975
Stamina: 724 / 893
Mana: 320 / 320

"Gray, Gray Allister." The Arcanist returned the kind gesture as he accepted Isamu's handshake.

'A <Champion> huh?' Gray examined with interest at Isamu's Class. 'The name is similar to the title that I earned in Oakwood but this one is obviously a Class. Since he used that shout skill earlier, perhaps his Class revolves around that kind of ability? Let's not jump into conclusions yet. And also... too tight!!!'

Gray is now witnessed to be wincing in anguish at how ridiculously strong Isamu's Beastly hand is, crushing the Elf's delicate hand during their handshake.

Seeing the progressively paling face of the Elf, Isamu realizes his own actions in embarrassment as he immediately released his hand from Gray.

"Ahahaha, I do apologize, Gray." Isamu chuckled sheepishly at what he shamelessly did. "I tend to forget at controlling my own Strength in these kinds of situations, most particularly in the art of shaking hands, haha."

"Please don't do that again." Gray twitches his head in annoyance as he rubs his aching hand, mentally crying in complete agony. "I don't have huge muscular hands unlike yourself."

Isamu laughs heartily at his reaction.

"Gray Allister." Isamu sounded a bit intrigued by his name. "Your name does not sound Elvish, is there a story behind it?"

"A human parent." Gray, having recovered from the pain of his hand, instantly comes up with the lie that he prepares whenever someone asks him about his name. 

"I see." Isamu merely smiles in understanding at the Elf. "Anyways, the roads can be quite a danger, especially to lone travelers such as ourselves. Where are you headed by the way?"

"Chadena," Gray responds, seeing no harm in telling the trustworthy Cat-folk Warrior at where he is going. 

"Chadena huh." Isamu smiles. "It appears that fortune has smiled upon us at this meeting. I happen to be a member of the Town's Warrior's Guild and will also head my way over there after I finish my own errand. You seem capable of handling yourself quite well. Perhaps you can help me first?

'Oh great, another Quest.' Gray thought, having played too many games of the RPG genre to know where this is going.

"That depends," Gray replied as he crosses his arms. "What is this request that you speak of?"

Isamu began explaining his story to the Elf. "You see, after this battle, I came to a realization that working alone indeed has its dire limitations, especially when outnumbered. It would be convenient if I can have someone who I can trust watching my back, just for the sake of assurance in my part. I've taken up a quest from the Guild to find out about the Bandit Encampment's location. All that is left now is confirming if what our dead friend said is true. It would be an honor if you'll join me in my task. Don't worry, I'll make it worth your while and also escort you to Chadena after we are finished. After all, it would be beneficial for the two of us being together as we keep each other guarded during our journey to the Town."

Gray rubs his chin in response, seeing the Cat-folk having a point in his statement. Basically, it would be a lot safer if he has someone with him on his side, especially in this fantasy realm where danger lurks unexpectedly around the corner.

With a Warrior on his side, Gray's life as a Mage would definitely be easier. 

As per logic and the norm in some RPG games, a Warrior, being a naturally tanky Class, can take the brunt of the damage while Gray casts his spells from a safe distance. 

"Does this quest of yours involve us confronting the Bandits themselves?" Gray asks for clarification in a cautious tone. "After all, it would be unwise if it's only just the two of us against a band of Bandits that most presumably hold numbers even more overwhelming than our last encounter, especially if it's in their base of operations."

This world, despite its fantasy setting, also adheres to the common sense of reality to some extent. Meaning, Gray should not act rashly and consider his options carefully before making a decision.

Careful planning and arrangement are a must before conducting a raid in such hostile areas.

"No, nothing like that," Isamu assures the Elf. "Us charging in at their Encampment unprepared is undeniably a death sentence. We are to simply confirm the location. After that, we depart the area immediately and report our findings to the Warrior's Guild before the Bandits find out about their missing comrades that we killed and have the chance of leaving their Encampment.'

<QUEST START!!>
<At the heart of Banditry>
[The Cat-folk Warrior Isamu, requests your aid in his quest of verifying the location of the Bandit's Encampment.]
<Quest Completion> - Accompany Isamu in his task.
<Quest Bonus> - None
<Quest Rewards> - 1200 XP, 700 Gold
<ACCEPT QUEST?> YES / NO

Since the Quest does not involve Gray in a direct and suicidal confrontation against a band of Bandits, he agreed with Isamu's request in the end as he clicks YES on the notification screen.

Besides, The XP and gold rewards are a welcome addition to his arsenal.

"If it's just some scouting, I suppose I can help you." Gray nods in agreement with a shrug.

"Excellent!!" Isamu replied as he beams brightly at Gray's response. "Here, accept my invite."

A system notification suddenly appeared in front of Gray as he read the contents of the text box.

[Isamu Meiyo has invited you to his party!!]
<ACCEPT?> YES / NO

'So, this world also has a Party system.' Gray thought as he clicks YES to join the party. 

Upon his action, another icon suddenly materializes as it joins on his UI. The icon shows the two humanoid heads close with one another. As Gray clicks the icon, he was shown the list of members that are in the party, each with their own status bar.

Party Leader:
#1: Isamu Meiyo
Level 14: <Champion>
Health: 1416 / 1975

'Huh, neat.' Gray marvels at how convenient the system is. 'With this feature, I may be able to check vital information about my new companion here.'

"We can share more stories along the road," Isamu said with a smirk while witnessing the enchanting sunset on the horizon. "Evening is going to befall this land in a while. As such, we best should cover more ground before finding a safe spot for us to make camp."

After everything was settled, the pair of Warrior and Mage looted the items from the dead Bandits in the vicinity. They also buried the crystal corpses to not arouse suspicions and alarm from other Bandits.

In their recent actions, Gray also learns from Isamu that the crystals linger for about a month, before finally disappearing forever.

With that said and done, the two proceeded to make their way into their designated location, continuing their chat as they head to the direction of the ever-glorious sunset.
