We Need to Level Up
"Here is a list of more detailed instructions. I didn't want it to get lost in the clutter of the main quest description." Rhea said.
Ding!
[Vampirism Ritual:]
[Ingredients needed: 40 gallons of Vampire Bat blood, A watertight coffin made of Iron Wood, and a Blood Potion.]
[How to Make a Blood Potion: Combine the crushed heart of a Vampire Ancestor, your own blood, a bloodflower, a medium grade or better health potion, and a medium or better grade stamina potion.]
[Location of the Heart of Dracula: "The Lost Dragon's Lair" Dungeon]
[Vampirism Ritual Instructions: This ritual is a Vampire Baptism that must be completed during a blood moon. Once the blood moon has risen in the sky: drink the Blood Potion, get into the coffin, have the coffin filled up with all of the Vampire Bat blood, and then have the coffin sealed shut. This can be done by an outside party, or the coffin can be built to automatically fill itself and seal shut.]
"If you need to pull this message up again just think something along the lines of 'Vampire Ritual' and you will see it again." Rhea instructed Enzo and Pepper.
"I will be taking my leave now, you can tell the mayor that he can return to the office when you two leave."
"Thank you."
"Thanks."
Rhea smiled before snapping her fingers again and disappearing in a bright flash.
"Sigh. We're going to need to level up quickly." Enzo said.
"Why?"
"What Rhea said about other players indicated that there would be many others who will get the same quest as us. That means we need to beat them to it."
"Ohhhh, so we need to get out of this tutorial, find the materials we need, and then find out when the next blood moon is." Pepper deduced.
"Yup."
"Alright, well let's go."
Enzo and Pepper left the office.
"Is the goddess still here?" Dillon asked.
"No, she left already. You can return to your office, and thank you." Enzo informed him.
He nodded and walked through the door.
"Good luck on whatever you have to do." He told Pepper and Enzo before closing the door.
The duo made their way out of the mansion and back through the gates.
As they walked back through the streets towards the plaza Enzo and Pepper discussed ways to level up faster.
"Maybe we should try to find some quests from NPCs that we can do while hunting." Pepper suggested.
"Good idea, I forgot all about other quests because I was so focused on getting the silvers for William's quest."
"I understand. Let's go around to different shops and stands and just collect as many as we can." Pepper replied.
"Alright, let's try the clothing stores first." Enzo said.
They already had some skins and furs from the animals they killed, so he was hoping they would be able to just complete the quest on the spot.
Once they made it to the plaza, Enzo and Pepper walked up to the first clothing stall they could find.
"Hello Miss." Enzo said.
There was a short woman with long black hair and brown eyes standing behind the stall surrounded by different clothes.
"Hello, are you here to shop?" She asked.
"Not quite, I was wondering if there is anything I could help you with?" Enzo decided to go with a phrase similar to the ones he saw in that forum post about getting quests from the NPCs.
"Yes, there is." The lady said with a smile.
"I would like to help you as well if possible." Pepper said to make sure she got the quest as well.
"Of course." The lady told her.
Ding!
[New Quest: Skins and Furs]
[Description: The lady who runs the clothing stall is in desperate need of more animal skins and furs to make more clothes.]
[Reward: +3 bronze coins for each skin/fur, 500 exp for each skin/fur]
'Sigh, we really missed out on something so profitable this whole time.'
Enzo could only shake his head at his past self for not looking for quests like this earlier.
Enzo took the five skins and furs he had from the animals he and Pepper killed and turned them in to the lady.
"Thank you very much, player, is that all you have?"
"Yes, I will be back with more at another time."
[You have completed the quest: Skins and Furs]
[+15 bronze coins]
[+2500 Exp]
Ding!
[You have leveled up! Level 4 -> 5]
Enzo pulled up his menu and put his stat points all into agility again.
He was back to focusing on his speed because of the 5 extra stat points they received from William.

"Do you know who will take bones and things like that?" Pepper asked the lady.
"Yes! There is an artificer three stalls that way who has been looking for bones." She said while pointing to the left.
"Thanks."
"Thank you."
Enzo and Pepper walked over to that stall and sold their bones as well.
The artificer only gave them 2 bronze coins and 200 exp per set, but Enzo and Pepper were able to do that quest five times as well so it ended up being a lot.
Ding!
[You have leveled up! Level 5 -> 6]
This time Enzo put one point into strength and the remaining point into stamina.
He still avoided his vitality stat like the plague, so his glass cannon build was coming along very nicely.
Pepper was doing something similar to Enzo with her stats, but it was because a scout wouldn't really need much help.
So, they walked into the forest as two glass cannons.
Enzo and Pepper had an urgency to their movements today so it took less than an hour to leave the city and get a good distance away from everyone else once they got into the forest.
