17 Passing grade

Haon's [XP] bar filled completely to the brim, he was now [Level:7] and a bit he placed all the [Stat] points on [Strength], he then walked over to his loot and picked it all up, his eyes shone with delight, overall he got some nice materials that he could sell, but mainly he got 1 piece of gear that was insane, and a skill book.

He also looked at his new skillbook.

Haon learnt it immediately.

He was very happy with what he got, he looked down again making sure that he didn't miss anything. At the corner of his he saw something twinkling, it seems Haon did miss something, upon picking it up

[Villager' worn bloody necklace]

[Quest item]

A villager's necklace, presumably falling prey to the [Exiled Wolf King], return to the bereaved to console them.

Haon saw this and saw another potential quest, he put in his bag and started travelling out of the [Dark Forest].

Haon once again headed to the [Village Garrison] to see [Bertram].

Upon entering his room [Bertram] glanced up "Oh that was quite quick, I didn't think you had it in you"

*Ding!*

[Quest]: Prove your mettle [Complete]

+200 [Avon coins]

+500 [XP]

[All Class Skill book]

[Bertram' Approval I]

Haon smiled, his [XP] bar nearly reached halfway, [Bertram] saw this and grunted "I see you are happy with this measly result, but this is not enough for me to give you my approval..."

*Ding*

[Quest]: Prove your mettle II

[Village Head Guard Bertram] is still dissatisfied with your progress, impress him more

[Location] [Dark Forest]

[Reward]

250 [Avon coins]

500 [XP]

[All Class skill book]

[Bertram' approval II]

[Time Limit]: 48:00:00

Haon sighed, but atleast he gets more reward...

Haon started to head towards the exit when he remembered about the [Villager's Worn Bloody Necklace], Haon stopped and asked "[Bertram] do you have any idea whose this is?"

Haon handed the item to him, suddenly [Bertram] stood up, with his hand trembling, in a choked voice he said "whe-where did you find this?"

Haon with a shock in his face replied "it was dropped by the [Exiled Wolf King when I killed it in the [Dark Forest"

"[Exiled Wolf King]?!! Lies! You possibly couldn't have you are too weak!" He exclaimed.

Haon showed him the [Exiled Wolf King's Fang] to him and [Bertram]'s eyes actually shook, he sighed and said "I'm sorry... I guess you did... so that's where she went..."

[Bertram] looked devastated, Haon couldn't help but ask "Whose is that?"

"It was my little daughter's necklace that I gave on her birthday 10 years ago... she went missing on the day I gave it to her... now I know where she went... and ultimately perished..."

Haon felt sad for him, he didn't expect this [Quest item] was for him.

[Bertram] clutched his hands and said "I guess you don't have to do anything anymore, killing the [Exiled Wolf King] is proof enough that you can handle the [Cave of Yggdrassil]"

*Ding*

[Quest]: Prove your mettle II [Complete]

[Quest]: Prove your mettle III [Complete]

[Quest]: Getting stronger [Complete]

+1050 [Avon coins]

+ 1700 [XP]

[All Class Skill Book] x 3

[Token of Approval]

[Guard Box]

Haon instantly levelled up to [Level]: 11 and became rich instantly, he didn't know that killing the [Exiled Wolf King] would be the last quest, he imagined that if he forgot to give that [Quest item] he would have to grind all that [War Wolves] and kill the [Exiled Wolf], which in hindsight would have probably given him more loot and potentially more equipment, but killing the [Exiled Wolf King] would be a problem because the [Exiled Wolf King] only spawns once every 2 I.R.L days meaning at that point there are probably [Rankers] in this [Novice Village] that could grind all that [Levels] and [Equipment] to kill that boss, so in actual hindsight , this was the best scenario.

As Haon was preparing to leave once more [Bertram] stopped him and said "I haven't said thank you for finding this [Necklace]"

Haon just smiled at him "No problem"

"If you need anything... I'll do anything in my power to help you and take this with you" he replied

*Ding*

[Guard Box] x1

Haon eyes shined, he actually got another one, he doesn't know what he can get from these, but judging from what he got from the [Flower Box] it must be something good, Haon said his farewells, before heading to the tree in the [Village Garden] to distribute his stats and check on his new spoils.
