4 Rodgers' Treasure

Silver slowly made his way to the waypoint shown on his map. The further he went the fewer players he saw. He entered a level 3 map with a large number of Imps. Silver needed to defeat quite a few of the imps in order to make his way towards the waypoint.

<Adolescent iron Imps>

Level 3

HP: 92

Attack:?

Defense:?

Attack Speed;?

Skills:?

Silver activated <Stealth>, then followed it up with his <Shadow Slash> to the imps neck

-12

Silver was quite shocked he has never done so little damage with his first strike. He continued to follow up with two more strikes

-10

-8

The iron imp was quite slow, silver was nearly capable of entirely dodging the Imps attacks

-4

The Iron imp was quite weak, so after a little more than 20 seconds, the imp fell. While Silver only lost about 20 health.

Silver spent the next two hours slowly moving through the Iron imps when he began nearing Rodgers' Treasure; Silver ran into a new imp far larger than those he faced thus far.

<Alpha Adolescent Iron Imp>

Level 3 Elite

HP: 150

Attack:?

Defense: ?

...

The Adolescent Imp had equal hp to Rodger, but judging by Adolescent Iron Imps having around 20 defense. He wondered if he could even deal damage to this Elite Imp. He wasn't one to give up easily though, he entered stealth and attacked with <Shadow Slash>, followed by a second <Shadow Slash>.

-4

-3

The Imp responded by jumping away, Silver wouldn't let him get away he activated <Speed of Wind>; quickly catching up to the imp and striking it once more.

-3

The imp put both of its fists together and seemed to prepare to smash Silver into the ground. Without a thought Silver retreated, dodging the imps smash.

Miss!

Silver reentered the attack range of the imp and continued to beat the imp

-3

-2

-3

The Imp struck with a single fist, Silver Responded best he could, but still was grazed by the fist.

-8

Silvers' Speed of Wind duration ended creating a more dangerous situation. He Used <Shadow Slash> again, and was prepared for a brawl.

After about 2 minutes of fighting Silver was able to edge out a win with only 12 hp remaining.

"Ding" Silver leveled up to level 3.

This battle caused Silver to rethink his attribute distribution. Although he still believed that Dexterity was the most important stat for him, he made a decision that Strength was also important to increase. He decided to increase his Strength with his 2 free attribute points rising it to 4, while his Dexterity automatically increased to 16.

Silver whose stamina and Health was nearing empty decided to rest. He set up a campfire and ate some bread, before looking at the two items that he picked up.

<Hard Iron Blade>(Parry Dagger)

Rarity: Uncommon (Green)

Level 3

Equipment Requirement: Dexterity 8

Attack + 3

Defense + 2

<Hard Iron Mace> (Two-Handed Mace)

Silver was happy with the items retrieved, He equipped the dagger, and decided that he would sell the Mace.

During the time he needed to recover his Stamina, Silver browsed the official forum for Draconic. The most popular threads had tens of millions of views.

"Novice Village 006 Defeated First boss level Monster: Three Hundred Players gathered together to defeat the first boss in Draconic The boss gave all those who participated a title, while also dropping three items; two uncommon items, and the first rare item that has ever dropped. Over fifty players were killed in the engagement."

"First Hidden Class discovered [Dark Knight]: Paladins who Betray their faith are forced to become Dark Knights!" Not to much information was given.

Silver browsed threads for about a half-hour before his Stamina and health were fully recovered.

Silver continued towards his waypoint and arrived at a cave entrance. Silver used one of the ten torches he got with his novice loot and entered the cave. After walking for five minutes Silver found a small shack, he carefully entered the shack and found a journal.

"HAHAHAHA, it seems that I have lost my head. To think a weakling like me would be hunted down. I am a deplorable human who certainly deserved his death. That being said I have a favor to ask; I have left the little wealth I have acquired here, feel free to take it, I only ask one thing. When you leave this village I hope you enter Feral City, find the small noble Albert Cust and just show him my hat. He will explain more" The journal then automatically burnt to dust.

<Quest Updated: Enter Feral City (Requires Level 10)>

Silver searched the Shack and found a total of 4 Gold and an Earring.

<Sinful Bon> (Earring)

Silver then went to check the followup quest <The Weakest Felon>

<Quest Updated: Information says that Dragonborn Zurin Nehlu has fled from Feral City after murdering his wife and her parents. Find the injured Zurin who is hiding within the Hamtara Mountain, North of the Novice Village and end his life.>

Silver returned to the Novice village and contacted Banana King to see if he could sell the <Hard Iron Mace>

"I guarantee that no one in this Novice Village will pay more than me for the mace, I'll give $1500 for the mace." Although it would not be usable for long; $1,500 is not too much to most elite players, it also allows them to gain a lead on other similar elite players. Even if it was just to rent the mace for this week the price l would not decrease by much.

Silver thought for a moment, before accepting and sharing his account information with Banana King. Due to Silver's previous profession, his banking information was not difficult to find, but finding out anything more would be near impossible. Silver also sold 2 gold to Banana King for Another 2000$, he knew that gold value would slowly decrease, but still knew it was useful early in the game; So he kept the remain 2 for himself.

With how easy it seemed for Silver to make money he knew that his economic issues will remain solved as long as he continues on the path of an elite in Draconic.

After spending about 20 Silver on 10 Beginner Health Potions from the general store:

[Beginner Health Potion]

Consumable

Recover 20 HP Instantly

Cooldown 60 Seconds

Silver Prepared to leave for the North to find himself a felon.
