The forest was quiet tonight. The sky was clear and a full moon illuminated the sky along with millions of tiny stars that dotted the endless night. Nothing was sitting on a tree branch and swaying his feet back and fro as he watched the river running along the forest's edge. Listening to the water gush along the bank pleased the little boy's ear and he very much enjoyed the nightly winds that blew along the river which came from the open sea that was far east of here. But as if to disturb Nothing's peace, a huge beast emerged from the river and rose up so it could face the boy. It was the Lagoon monster (though since he wasn't in a Lagoon anymore, I suppose he would now be called a river monster). The Lagoon monster was huge, green, bald and had a very ugly face (At least according to human standards. He himself thought that he was very handsome.) In addition to that, his hands and feet were webbed and he had a sharp long dorsal fin that ran across his back. 
            But contrary to what one might think, Nothing was not afraid at the Lagoon monster. Though if he were honest, he was a tad bit annoyed that the beast ruined his quiet time. Still, he was very polite about it.
            "Hello Bob." Nothing said to the Lagoon monster who smiled in return and replied very slowly. "Hello Nothing." He said, taking more than double the time you would take to normally say that.
            "Is something the matter?" Nothing asked.
            "Bob saw Nothing alone. So Bob wonder if Nothing is alright." The Lagoon monster replied.
            And to that, Nothing was very touched. He smiled and told the monster that he was alright and that he had only been basking in the nighttime. After that, Bob sunk back into the river and was on his way leaving Nothing once again alone.
            But as fate may have it, the peace did not last long. Nothing had heard shouting from his left side and he turned to see ice and fire meeting in the forest. And he immediately realized what was happening. So he hopped down his tree and went to investigate. When he got to the scene, it was as he had imagined. The Ice Devil and Pumpkin head Jack had been fighting again.
            "Why you stupid pumpkin head!" called the blue man, whose skin was completely covered in frost bite, to the scare crow who had a jack O lantern for a head. But there was no worded reply since pumpkin Jack couldn't actually speak. What he did do instead was mockingly place his hands to his cheeks and then made a fire tongue that jeered at the iceman. And that only made the devil angrier. The ice man then threw a blue snow ball at the scarecrow who countered it with fire from his mouth causing ice and fire to collide in the middle.
            And to this, Nothing only sighed a hand to his forehead. This wasn't an unusual scene. Usually it started with Pumpkin Jack who would pull some stupid prank on the iceman who would then retaliate leading to a full on battle between these two. Though of course, none of them ever won and it would just go on for hours before they both got tired and called it quits. And though Nothing would have liked to tell them to stop, he knew that it wouldn't help. After all, if it were that easy to stop them then this wouldn't have been an issue at all. But alas, as Nothing was about to give up and turn away, his savior appeared. It was Bloody Mary who was unexpectedly a really nice person (or rather "former" person) despite her fearsome name.
            "Mary!" Nothing exclaimed with joy as he saw the spirit come into the small clearing where the fight had taken place. Now, Mary unlike the ice devil and pumpkin head, looked somewhat human like. She had pale white skin and long black hair which made her seem like a scary person (which when called for, she was). She also wore a long white dress. But other than that and the fact that she was a spirit (which meant that she hovered like a ghost and also gave off a white glow constantly), she looked more or less like your typical woman. Though as it were now, she was quite angry and her eyes had become the color of blood.
            "Hey you two! Would you mind quieting it down a bit? I don't care if you two wanna smack each other all day but do it with some consideration for others." Mary shouted without even noticing Nothing.
            To which the iceman replied to by throwing a snowball and shouting "Shut up woman! This isn't any of your business!" But of course, the snow ball passed straight throw Mary and only froze a tree behind her. 
            "Why you intolerable devil!" Mary raged as she clutched her fist. "I'll fu-" Mary stopped midsentence and then realized that Nothing was beside her. She desperately tried to cover up what she was about to say. "I'll fuuuuuuu-forgive you if you stop now!" she shouted instead. And then she knelt down and spoke to Nothing. "Hey nothing, shouldn't you be asleep right now. Why aren't you at the castle with Doremos?" she asked.
            And Nothing replied. "I couldn't sleep tonight so I thought that I'd take a walk in the forest. I ended up enjoying the peaceful night so I sat down on a tree branch. And then Bob visited me. But soon after he left, I heard these two fighting and came to see what was wrong." As per usual, Nothing gave a very detailed reply for someone who was barely eleven. He always impressed Mary by how mature he was for his age. But she supposed that when living with such loud monsters, someone had to be the more reasonable one here. It was such a shame that a mere child was more of an adult than these two. And of course, this only gave Mary more incentive to stop the fight. She for one had to show Nothing that there was at least some dependable adults around. 
            "Hey Jack!" she called to the pumkin head. "If you don't stop now, I'll burn your figurines." Immediately, Jack turned to Mary and he made an expression of shock with his flames. He then jumped up, swung his self round a tree branch and then launched himself across the clearing to another tree next to Mary, The front of his worn out shoes hooked the branch and he spun over it to angle himself upwards in a somewhat cool fashion. Then he looked at Mary and the flame in his pumkin grew larger and threatening to the degree where it was now spilling through the holes on the pumpkin. 
            "Hit a nerve?" Mary asked as she batted an eye. She knew very well how much Jack loved his figurines and knew that he'd do anything to protect. Truth be told, they weren't actually his but rather discarded or lost toys that fell into the river and was taken along the forest's edge and eventually washed on to land. And Jack took his time collecting and cleaning whatever toys he could find. This was the only thing that you could probably use against him and Mary knew exactly that.
            Jack also knew that he couldn't hurt Mary as long as she stayed in her impermeable form. But if Mary was impermeable that also meant that she couldn't hurt Jack so this would just be a standstill. Though, even if she was lying, the small chance that Mary knew where Jack kept his toys placed him on edge and as a result, his flames were fuming from his head.
            "Hey don't forget about me!" screamed the ice devil as he blew a breath of wind that sent a frozen blizzard towards Jack and Mary. Mary as you would expect was untouched but the scarecrow became half frozen. Though that wasn't much of a problem, since he easily defrosted himself with his fire. On the other had, Nothing that was next to these two had become completely frozen in ice. And when Mary saw this, she completely lost it.
            "Blitz, you fucking idiot! You froze Nothing! What do you think Doremos is gonna do to you when he sees this?" Mary said with a clenched fist that she waved back and fro like a madwoman (which to some degree, she was) 
            "Hmph!" Blitz folded his arms and rose his chin. "As if I'm scared of that old vampire. He can think what he wants. It was an accident but if that isn't enough for him, then he can come at me." Blitz then punched his left fist into his right palm.  "I'll show him what a devil can really do!" 
            But as it were fated, just at that moment, another eerie presence came into the clearing from North up the mountain. And when the ice devil noticed this presence from the corner of his eye, he turned slowly to see Doremos coming towards him. And you wouldn't believe how quickly Blitz changed. 
            "Oh Doremos!" he said joyously with a smile. "Didn't see you there." He then hesitated and rubbed the back of his head. "So a funny thing happened just now. I was throwing a few snowballs at Jack and that darn scarecrow just managed to tell a really funny joke. And you see, I couldn't help laughing and all. But you know what it's like with us monsters and our powers and next thing you know, I accidently made a little blizzard and you see…" the ice demon became very quiet as he said the last line. "I somewhat froze Nothing."
            Doremos looked to the ice devil with fierce red eyes which made even him shiver a little. And reflexively the devil said while waving his hands in front of him. "But don't worry, Jack can fix him easily. Can't you Jack?" Blitz looked over to the fuming scarecrow with eyes that said "Help me out here, you stupid pumpkin head!" and to that, Jack became delighted and began to make a cruel laugh that sprouted flames from his mouth. The laugh, as a matter of fact was the only sound that he could make since his pumpkin had been carved with a horrible laughing face.
            "Is that true?" Doremos asked Jack who was still perched in the tree. And to that Jack nodded his head but then he hopped off the branch and raised a finger to mean "But in return…" and then he pointed to the ice devil and a fire burst out from his mouth that formed the shape of a wicked smiling face. And then through a game of pictures, the pumpkin explained what he wanted. To which Blitz refused at first but one look from the looming Doremos was all it took to convince him. And like that, the fighting stopped and Nothing was defrosted. Though it took a bit of time before he became conscious again. And when he came through, he found that the clearing had become a small field of snow and that the scarecrow had been merrily playing around what seemed to be a snowman. And when Nothing looked at it closely, he soon realized that it was Blitz that was inside of the snowman. As it were now, only the devil's face could be seen and from the looks of it, he was very angry. Though of course, Nothing couldn't help but chuckle.
            As for Mary, she had probably returned back to her house while Nothing was unconscious. And Nothing thought that it was about time for him to return back to the castle as well. After all that had happened, he had become very tired. The castle was up at the top of the mountain and it had a dirt trail that lead up to it. Though that was for Nothing's convenience mainly. Most of the monsters wouldn't have a hard time traversing the mountain. 
            As you might have guessed, the castle was made completely out of stone. Supposedly, the materials came right from this mountain and it was Doremos himself that started construction of it. Though, the other monsters helped to finish it. The Lagoon monster was particular helpful in the later construction when the walls were already several meters high.
             Eventually, Nothing reached the castle and made his way through the massive wooden doors, then down the corridor and up the stairs towards his room which was really just the left tower of the castle. When he got there he immediately dropped on to his bed and turned to his side. He took a glance at the star filled sky outside and then closed his eyes. And like that, Nothing slept peacefully through the night.
            And while he was sleep, Doremos and Mary had taken a trip to the old hag's house which was located lower down the mountain near a much more swampy area where the river had collected itself in a low-lying area which was flooded all around. Technically, only half of the swamp belonged to the monsters and the other side was in human territory. Though of course, not many humans dared to come this close to the hag's house. But then again, it wasn't like they needed to visit a swamp.
            Doremos was the one who lead the way and Mary hovered behind. She didn't know why the vampire had asked her to come here. And she desperately tried to ask him for a reason. But he replied to her sternly and said "Wait till we get there. I'll explain then."
            So of course, when they did walk into the witch's hut, the first thing that Mary asked was, "Okay, so are you going to tell me why you called me here or not?" When she said this, Mary also took note of the plague doctor who was sitting peacefully in an old rocking chair while the hag had been brewing some awful concoction in her huge black pot. She wondered why the doctor had come as well.
            "I called you here so that you might do a little task for myself." Doremos began. "But before that, I'll explain the meaning of us four gathering here. I'll start with the movements of the hunters. As you might know, hunters are humans that are trained to kill monsters. And recently, there has been a group of them that have gathered in the village that lies on the other side of the river mouth. The hag, doctor and I have been working secretly to resolve this matter."
            "And how do you know that hunters have gathered at the village? I don't suppose you checked yourself."
            And at that, the doctor raised his hand. "You have me to thank for that. The birds told me about it a few days ago and I then reported it to Doremos." That made sense to Mary and she now thought that she asked a rather pointless question since a very obvious answer. You see, the plague doctor was actually a half bird monster. Though, only his head and hands (which were actually his wings) were bird like (a crow to be more specific). He had gotten the name plague doctor because it was he who caused the human plague which he did using chemicals of some sort which Mary did not understand at all.
            "And what do you want me to do about these hunters?" Mary asked Doremos.
            "I want you to gather information about them" Doremos replied.
            "Why not have the birds do that?" Mary asked to which the doctor replied "Birds are not the smartest creatures. They can only relay small bits of information so they are not the best at recon. To be honest, I only presumed that it was hunters that came to town from what the birds told me since all they said was 'Strange men. Strange men have come.'"
            "So you want me to watch through the mirrors and tell you more about these presumed 'hunters'?" Mary asked and Doremos replied with a stern nod. "Well if that's all, then you didn't need to bring me all the way out here. I'll be leaving now." But before she could leave, Doremos placed his hand out to stop her (it was more of gesture since she could simply walk through him.). "I didn't say that was all." Doremos said. "They are other things that we must discuss."
            "Yes, yes dearie." The green hag said as she was still stirring her pot of strange black liquid. "We have much to talk about and much to consider. Like for example, what will we do if the hunters are really here and if they are seeking to attack us? How will we retaliate? Many, many things to discuss and since you are now part of our little circle here, then you should hear it too."
            Mary gave the hag a cold stare from behind and said. "If these things are so important, then why now tell the others too?"
            And it was the doctor who answered this time. "Because we are not yet sure about the situation. We don't want to cause a commotion. Or worse yet, we wouldn't want the violent ones to recklessly attack to humans without reason. That would surely give the hunters incentive to invade our domain. And besides, as it is now, there is simply no need to inform them."
            Mary couldn't argue with that. Surely if someone like Blitz heard about this, he wouldn't bother waiting for reason to attack the hunters. He for one would strike carelessly. And others might have followed him. So it was probably best for it to be this way until the situation calls for a change. So Mary crossed her arms and turned around. She gave Doremos a side glance and he began discussing measures that would be taken if the humans were to invade. And that discussion lasted all night until the light of morning pierced through Nothing's window to wake him from his slumber.

A world of monsters was all he ever knew but secretly, Nothing yearned to see the so called humans. And one day, the wish was granted to him. But little did he know, that this would be the spark that would cost his world to collapse.

The forest was quiet tonight. The sky was clear and a full moon illuminated the sky along with millions of tiny stars that dotted the endless night. Nothing was sitting on a tree branch and swaying his feet back and fro as he watched the river running along the forest's edge.

It was such a shame that a mere child was more of an adult than these two. And of course, this only gave Mary more incentive to stop the fight. She for one had to show Nothing that there was at least some dependable adults around.

The castle was up at the top of the mountain and it had a dirt trail that lead up to it. Though that was for Nothing's convenience mainly. Most of the monsters here wouldn't have a hard time traversing the mountain's natural landscape. 
            As you might have guessed, the castle was made completely out of stone. Supposedly, the materials came right from this mountain and it was Doremos himself that started construction of it. Though, the other monsters helped to finish it. The Lagoon monster was particular helpful in the later construction when the walls were already several meters high.

When she said this, Mary also took note of the plague doctor who was sitting peacefully in an old rocking chair while the hag had been brewing some awful concoction in her huge black pot. She wondered why the doctor had come as well.
            "I called you here so that you might do a little task for myself." Doremos began. "But before that, I'll explain the meaning of us four gathering here. I'll start with the movements of the hunters. Recently, there has been a group of strange men, baring dark coats and threatening weapons, which have gathered themselves in the village that lies on the other side of the river mouth. The hag, doctor and I have been working secretly to resolve this matter."
            "And how do you know that hunters have gathered at the village? I don't suppose you checked yourself."
            And at that, the doctor raised his hand. "You have me to thank for that. The birds told me about it a few days ago and I then reported it to Doremos." That made sense to Mary and she now thought that she asked a rather pointless question since a very obvious answer. You see, the plague doctor was actually a half bird monster. Though, only his head and hands (which were actually his wings) were bird like (a crow to be more specific). He had gotten the name plague doctor because it was he who caused the human plague which he did using chemicals of some sort which Mary did not understand at all.
            "And what do you want me to do about these hunters?" Mary asked Doremos.
            "I want you to gather information about them" Doremos replied.
            "Why not have the birds do that?" Mary asked to which the doctor replied "Birds are not the smartest creatures. They can only relay small bits of information so they are not the best at recon. To be honest, I only presumed that it was hunters that came to town from what the birds told me since all they said was 'Strange men. Strange men have come.'"
            "So you want me to watch through the mirrors and tell you more about these presumed 'hunters'?" Mary asked and Doremos replied with a stern nod. "Well if that's all, then you didn't need to bring me all the way out here. I'll be leaving now." But before she could leave, Doremos placed his hand out to stop her (it was more of gesture since she could simply walk through him.). "I didn't say that was all." Doremos said. "They are other things that we must discuss."
            "Yes, yes dearie." The green hag said as she was still stirring her pot of strange black liquid. "We have much to talk about and much to consider. Like for example, what will we do if the hunters are really here and if they are seeking to attack us? How will we retaliate? Many, many things to discuss and since you are now part of our little circle here, then you should hear it too."
            Mary gave the hag a cold stare from behind and said. "If these things are so important, then why now tell the others too?"
            And it was the doctor who answered this time. "Because we are not yet sure about the situation. We don't want to cause a commotion. Or worse yet, we wouldn't want the violent ones to recklessly attack to humans without reason. That would surely give the hunters incentive to invade our domain. And besides, as it is now, there is simply no need to inform them."
            Mary couldn't argue with that. Surely if someone like Blitz heard about this, he wouldn't bother waiting for reason to attack the hunters. He for one would strike carelessly. And others might have followed him. So it was probably best for it to be this way until the situation calls for a change. So Mary crossed her arms and turned around. She gave Doremos a side glance and he began discussing measures that would be taken if the humans were to invade. And that discussion lasted all night until the light of morning pierced through Nothing's window to wake him from his slumber.

Raised by monsters, the young boy called Nothing finds himself questioning his reality as a group of hunters take charge at the forest which he has called home for eleven years.

Her world is facing a dark awakening, with one shipwreck her life is changed giving her the chance to be a hero, where no one would have guessed there to be one.

Today was Saturday. On Monday, she needs to go to the university classes. She was pretty good in university. In her previous world, she sucked at remembering anything, so she studied for so long that it got stuck in her memory. And for some reason, in this world, Avery took the same classes as her. So, she doesn't really have to study anymore. It's a major relief, but it's not her biggest problem.

The biggest problem is her social status. Currently, she's treated like garbage. Nicer people tend to ignore her and meaner people write messages on her locker and desk, while others push and shove her around.

The old Avery would absorb all of it in and ignore the bullying. But, that's not what she was going to do now! She absolutely hates bullying, especially since she used to be bullied before! Yeah! Like that time when, uh, someone stole... stole her apple! Yeah, that's bullying, right? Whatever, she still hates bullying and that's all that matters.

Other than that, she needs to make some money. She didn't really want to work though. She worked enough in her previous life, and with her memories, she should instantly become rich!

There was only one flaw in her plan. The only things she paid attention to was about "Realm of the Elements" She never remembered any lottery tickets, because who the hell can predict that they'll reincarnate into a parallel universe that's practically the same?

With that said, Avery has no other choice other than to get a job. Such a shame that it's the fate of a reincarnator to still have to work, but that's life.

Wait a second...

Work? Jobs? Why not play games?

In "Realm of the Elements", you can sell or auction off valuable items for a lot of money, either in-game currency or actual money. Of course, right now it's only in-game currency, but later on when the money to currency feature comes out it'll be added.

Plus, there's the trade centre to trade money and currency with other players, so you can still make money by trading.

Making up her mind, Avery decides to continue to play "Realm of the Elements". But instead of grinding for levels, she'll grind for items.

After making up her mind, Avery planned on  getting some stuff done around the place before she continues. The "stuff" she's talking about is giving her room a proper clean. Yesterday, she couldn't do too much, because she was still processing what was going on and only managed to vacuum and digest what was going on. Now, she's in the mood to work.

It took her around an hour to get everything cleaned up. She changed her sheets, made her bed, organized a bit, then tidied up her desk with her computer. Then, she ate some instant noodles for breakfast while going on her computer to browse the game forums. She wants to see if there's anything new or different in the game because of her actions.

There wasn't anything that stood out too much. The majority of it was just complaining about how long it takes to level up, people discussing about the different elements and skills, and people bragging about their quests they managed to snag.

[Why is this game so hard?! Devs, pls fix!]

[Ha! Look at this! Grade C quest!]

[Why aren't there any healer classes? Are the creators dumb?]

[Fire and lightning element users are such asses kill-stealing! Watch out!]

[People above level 3, what's your grind guide? It so hard!!]

Yep. just people complaining. Not everyone is as high levelled as Avery. The majority of people are around level 1 and 2. The luckier and stronger people are around levels 3 and 4. Even some of the strongest people that are grinding 24/7 are only around halfway to level 5. That's because no one else can easily go to a high levelled zone like Avery and immediately kill every monster without needing to develop a strategy or study it's attack pattern, because she can easily remember the optimal strategy to grind.

Closing the forums, Avery put on her VR helmet, laid in bed and started up the game, with the goal to grind for items in mind.

[Welcome to Realm of the Elements]

[Logging in as "Avrix"]

She spawned back in Shadow Valley, where she logged out previously. The game lets you log in or out anywhere, except if you're in combat.

She walked out of the valley and walked onto the main road. She got to Shadow Valley via the main road, and she could go to a bunch of other low-level areas around the beginner village using the main road for the beginner village. One of the areas was called Loot Lagoon, which she was heading to right now.

Loot Lagoon, sadly, didn't have any secret loot that Avery knows of. But, there's a greater chance of enemies dropping gear, which is why Avery decided to grind for gear there. Plus, the drops are pretty good. The lagoon is only populated by fish, and each fish can drop it's carcass when killed, along with a chance of dropping an item.

Walking along the beginner village's main road, Avery saw the lagoon from the horizon. She sped up until the lagoon was right in front of her, then looked for a certain spot.

Loot Lagoon is a grinding spot meant for players level 7-10, so Avery can grind for loot without worry. Plus, it's not a great grinding spot without a great exploit spot. 

Avery finally found what she was looking for. A section of the lagoon where the water's shallow. That's the spot she was going to grind monsters... wait, no... fish. Where she was going to grind fish! The only monsters in the lagoon are a few different species of fish. There was only one type of fish that lived in the shallow part of the lagoon, and thats what she's going to grind.

[Blue Dragontail Fish (Level 7)

A common fish found at the shallow parts of Loot Lagoon. Tastes best when it's grilled.

Health: 2500

Mana: 1000

Defence: 0

Magic defence: 0

Abilities: {Slippery}, {Water Invisibility}

{Slippery (Tier 2)}: Naturally able to dodge the majority of attacks

{Water Invisibility (Tier 5)}: Becomes naturally invisible in the water. Can only be detected by someone proficient with the water element]

The dragontail fish is considered a rare fish, even though it commonly found in Loot Lagoon. The reason why it's considered a rare fish is because of it's [Water Invisibility].

If you even want to see this fish, you'd have to have the water element and be proficient with it. And to become proficient with the water element, you'd have to constantly practice using the water element to become proficient with it. Of course, Avery, the person who had no life, already mastered the water element, so it isn't a problem for her.

The only problem that will arise is it's [Slippery] ability. It will end up dodging the majority of Avery's attacks.

Some people would think that it's easy to grind the fish, saying you just need to have the lightning element and shock the water. The only problem with that is that the creators of the game already thought of that, and made any attack, skill or item used underwater/on water function the same, as if it was done normally. It's to prevent using elements to your advantage. For example, if someone's in the dark, you can't say that they're now the darkness element and use a light element attack and deal a ton of damage, right? Now, replace water with dark and darkness and replace light with lightning, then you'll see what the creators were trying to do.

Walking over to the shallow area, Avery saw a NPC fishing in the shallow area. 'That's weird' she thought. She never saw the NPC before. It could possibly be a one time quest, or maybe even a hidden quest, but she didn't know. They looked like a fisherman, so it would be normal if the average player saw them. But Avery knew there wasn't supposed to be someone here. Puzzled, she walked over to try and ask what they were doing.

"Excuse me?" Avery asked in a polite tone. "What are you doing here?". The fisherman NPC turned to look at her and Avery could see his face clearly. They were around 6'3", easily looming over Avery. His hair was ragged and oily, but it was covered by a fishing hat. He had blue eyes that gave him an experienced vibe. He was wearing a common set of fishing clothes.

"Eh?!" The fisherman exclaimed. He wasn't expecting someone else to be near him. Luckily for Avery, all NPC's didn't care for appearances, unless it's specifically programmed in, like a perverted thug. Plus, Avery still had her mask on. She didn't know what to make herself look like, so she settled with making it look like a black surgeon's mask. It looks pretty cool, so she doesn't mind.

"Hello young lass. Don't mind me. I'm just trying to fish here" he said. "Which type of fish are you trying to catch?" Avery asked. But, on the inside, Avery was making fun of the fisherman. 'Fishing here? Is this guy an idiot? This place is populated with monster fish! A regular fisherman can't catch any fish in this lake, unless they have a death wish!'. Of course, she never said that out loud, but the sheer stupidity bugged her.

The fisherman sighed, then spoke. "I heard that there's a fish around here called 'Blue Dragontail', but I can't seem to find it, much less catch it. Hell, I can't even see it! That scumbag mayor forced me to catch 5 by tonight, or he'll take away my daughter and slander my name... But, I can't seem to find this fish at all. Sigh...". Avery listened to the story and a grin slowly formed on her face. She realized that this was a one time quest! It wasn't a hidden quest, or else the fisherman's story would probably include fire-breathing dragons or something.

"If you'd like, I could catch one for you" Avery said. The fisherman was surprised, and asked "Are you sure? I've been waiting here for a long time. You may never find one".

[Quest: Fishing for Freedom

The mayor of a local village is forcing a local fisherman to catch and kill 5 Blue Dragontail Fish for him before 5:00 pm or else he'll take his daughter and slander his name. Catch and kill the fish for him 5:00 pm to complete the quest.

Completion Reward: ???

Failure Penalty: ???

Time Limit: Before 5:00 pm]

"Don't worry, I'm sure I can catch one for you" Avery said with a smile. With her reply, the quest was considered accepted. "Thanks. Oh, by the way, my name's Jerold" Jerold said with a smile as well. "My name's Avery" she replied. 

Avery walked over to the shallow water and looked in. With her insane control over the water element, she could tell that there was a good amount of fish currently in the water. There was about 20, so she could slowly kill all of them using a bunch of fireballs.

Because elemental skills work the same underwater/on water, Avery could easily bombard the area with fireballs. She's grown fond of using them. If she didn't accidentally find that treasure chest, she probably won't be using fireballs excessively, because she wouldn't have enough mana to support it.

Watching Avery look into the lagoon, Jerold wondered what she was doing. "Um, what are you-" He was cut off as Avery summoned 18 fireballs and launched them into the lake. Jerold saw the fireballs go straight into the water. Jerold was shocked. 'How the hell is that considered fishing?!' he thought. 'That's just burning water!'. Yet, he was once again surprised when Avery reached down where she launched her fireballs and pull out a fish carcass.

"Wha... what the hell?!" Jerold exclaimed. Avery stood up and looked at him while holding the carcass. "You've been fishing for these fish as if they were normal fish. But, these are actually monsters. Tasty monsters, but still monsters nonetheless. They have a camouflage ability as well. You'd need to be a monster hunter and be proficient with the water element to even think about easily getting one" she casually explained, not expecting Jerold to understand because they're a NPC. But, Jerold surprised her a bit and asked "Then, wouldn't the mayor know that? He should've, because he knew where to get it. Then, why did he make me fish for them...". She never thought that Jerold, a NPC, would have that sort of deduction. Indeed, she herself originally suspected that it was a set-up from the mayor, but he shouldn't have been able to figure that out.

Suddenly, Jerold eyes widened, then he scowled. "That fucking mayor... the scumbag almost tricked me! His son wanted my daughter for himself, so he tricked me and knew that it would be impossible. What if he makes a move while I'm not here...". Then, he turned towards Avery and said "Thanks for your help. Sadly, I must go now, but take this. I would've given it to if you caught all of the fish for me, but your explanation made me realize something very important. Now, I must go". He gave Avery a small fish ornamental and bolted away.

Avery was happy. She wasn't happy about the reward, nor happy about Jerold's misfortunes. She was happy about not having to do anymore work for the quest. She didn't want to waste so much time grinding for 5 fishes without getting any Exp.

In the game, if you accept a kill quest, you can't get any Exp for killing the specified monster. You'd still get Exp if you kill a different monster, or if the quest doesn't specify a certain monster, but if it says the exact name of the monster needed then you're out of luck.

It's not always that bad, because the reward would be slightly more generous. Not all the times, but most of the times.

Anyways, Avery inspected the fish ornament to see it's stats.

[Jerold's Fish Charm (Grade B)

A fish charm given by a fisher called Jerold. This is his lucky charm for fishing and was blessed with luck for fishing.

-Fish type monsters, if possible,  always drop there carcass and, if possible, are 5 times more likely to drop an item

Note: This was treasure by Jerold and was given to his savior, A.K.A you. So you better treasure it like he did]

'Nice!' Avery thought. It was just a grade B item, but it's effect could compare to a grade A item. Sadly, it was only limited to fish type monsters, or else it would've been way better. Still, it'll help her grind for items.

The items that Blue Dragontail fish drop are massive. It could drop any type of gear for any class or any element, so it would be worthwhile to grind here for a while. The item levels range from levels 5 to 7, so to normal players it would be considered top tier gear. The average player level would take about a week to get to levels 5 to 7, and even then, it would take a few months for someone to become proficient with the water element, and by then the only value in the fish for them would be the fish carcasses.

Even so, Avery would still be able to get way more fish carcasses and items than any other player with the fish charm, so she would never have to worry.

Thinking about that, Avery started her grind into riches.

Avery is considered an expert when it comes to the game "Realm of the Elements". He knows every item, skill, class, monster, weapon, armor, spell, location, quest, everything. He's either playing the game, reading the forums while eating or sleeping. But, he can't excel in the game because he joined a year after it's release, when the majority of players joined as well. Because of that, he has always been stuck at a lower level than the high-level players. That's why he got PKed to level 1 when he accidentally insulted the guild leader of the second largest guild in the game. After that, he quit the game and took a walk for the first time in years, where he got run over by a car. When he woke up, his surroundings looked different. That's when he realized he was reborn, but something feels a bit off...
