First mission

In the bulletin board of missions and quests, Kael scanned the papers posted that have the mission details as well as their objectives.

"Rank A mission, Rank C, Oh here! Rank G," Kael reads then he grabs the paper.

"Rank G mission–herb gathering, Details–pick 20 blood herbs and 10 mana herbs. The required time of accomplishment–1 day. Location–Dwight forest. Reward–25 silvers," Kael says as he reads what was stated.

He had ample time to finish it till afternoon. Kael goes to the mission counter and then he hands the mission paper.

"Rank G quest, ma'am," Kael said as he smiled.

"Rank G? So you're a beginner! Good luck on your first mission," she said to Kael then grabbed the mission paper.

"After you've finished your mission, go to the rewards counter and you're good to go!" she said cheerfully.

"Thanks, ma'am! I'm gonna go now" Kael said to her.

Kael walked towards the exit and then traveled towards his destination. He rode on the carriage to reach his destination, which only took an hour to arrive. Dwight forest was located in the northern part of the capital. There was a dusty and unpaved road that headed towards the Shelkem village.

As he arrived, the carriage left to continue its journey towards Shelkem village.

'I need to find blood herbs and mana herbs fast! In the afternoon, I will learn info on the tavern,' he said to himself.

He trod the path towards the forest, examining every herb spotted his curious eyes. He found three strength herbs in a minute.

"My luck is good today!" he said merrily.

He looked again for blood herbs. However, instead of herbs, he saw some goblins that were roaming in the forest.

'What do I do? There are monsters here already? Do I need to kill them or avoid them?' Kael said in his mind. Thinking about what to do in his current situation.

'If I kill them, I will gain experience and my character level will go up. But if I avoid them, It will be troublesome,' he said while scratching his head.

'I'd rather choose the option one and gain experience!' he said as he concludes his choice.

The goblins were patrolling around the vicinity, carrying looted armors and weapons from dead adventurers. One had a breastplate and a large helmet with a club. Another one had leather armor and a short sword and the other one was carrying a club.

Skreik! Kriek!

They were talking towards themselves and there's a goblin shaman that commands them. Perhaps it was their patrol leader.

Kael sneaked towards them and he was hiding behind the tree.

'I need to kill the shaman first or I will be at the disadvantage,' Kael said to himself.

He had two daggers that can be attached to his chains and a steel sword at his arsenal. He draws his sword and jumped to the top of the tree. While he was at the top of the tree, he saw three goblins warriors and a shaman.

He jumped to the top of the tree and saw from above the shaman. The shaman will be alerted because he has a skill [Detect life]. A floating burning eye was on its head that signifies that his skill was still active. While Kael was hiding, he was out of the range of its skill [Detect life]. Kael jumped to another tree to another and the shaman realizes that he was his target. The shaman tried to evade but he was a second late.

Swoosh!

The shaman was decapitated and his underling panicked. One goblin that has an armor attacked with his club. Kael dodged and slashed his head. The other two tried to run but he throws his two daggers at them.

Chuck! chuck!

The daggers pierced their skulls and they were down within seconds. Kael removed the dagger and then removed their monster core. He puts the monster core in his backpack.

He continued his search for blood herbs and mana herbs while he left the goblin's corpses. He saw a small brook and then washed his hands. He can feel the cold water in his hands and he felt refreshed. He then filled his water canteen with fresh water. The brook was shaded with the canopy of big trees and he rested there for minutes.

When he was resting, he saw blood herbs and mana herbs just beside the brook.

"My luck is with me today!" he said happily.

He gathered the herbs and collected thirty each in every herb. He puts it in his backpack. He managed to collect it in a matter of an hour. Kael drank water from his canteen and then walks towards the exit of the forest.

He realized that his time here will be wasted if he didn't level up.

"I will level up my character level first and grind till afternoon," he said while he opens his lunch. It was a chicken leg that was fried with grilled vegetables in it.

He ate his launch and then resumed his monster killing to level up. He walks to the forest with the help of a compass and a map. He saw a dire wolf in the distance after he traveled for minutes.

He draws his sword and then called the wolf.

"Hey, wolf! Come here!" He whistled the dire wolf.

Awoooo!!!

The wolf howled and his brethren appeared, the seven wolves surrounded him.

"Hey, you're cheating right! Well, It doesn't matter! come here boys!" he said while smiling.

Grrrr!!!

The wolves attacked and Kael slashed the one who attacked first. The other three jumped towards him. With what has happened, he dodged one, and he slashed the other one. He strikes the other with his hilt.

"Five left," he said while he focused.

He attacked one in his front to break through from their encirclement.

Whoosh!

He immediately dashed forward. The wolves chased him and then Kael was attacked from the back.

Kael initiated a back-kick towards the enemy that attacked him.

Pak!

The other two jumped towards him and then Kael slashed while rotating. They were immediately killed in an instant. 

"Three left!" he said as he counted the three dire wolves.

They attacked simultaneously but Kael charges towards them and thrust his sword on the dire wolf that was in the middle.

Phsiek!

The sword sounded as it pierced his heart.

Kael removed his sword and the other two didn't back down, didn't even want to retreat.

They attacked and then Kael front-kicked the other and then back kicked the other one. They were thrown and then Kael dashed to the other one to thrust his sword.

Shick!

He killed the wolf without mercy. The other one realized that he was the only one left and intends to run for his life, Kael jumped towards him and hastily slashed him vertically.

"That's the last one," he said happily.

He then grabbed his window card and saw that he has levelled up.

He saw his adventurer window card was glowing and then he puts it back in his backpack.

He removed the monster cores and then goes back to the road towards Dwight.

"I'm coming back earlier than expected!" he said as he walked, going back to the capital city.
