4 Chapter 4
In a unknown forest, a boy with dark brown hair and bright green eyes, was running as fast as he could. The boy was breathing hard and he looked very concentrated as he was in deep thought, trying to find a way to escape the big perfectly white deer that was right on the boys heels.
Obviously, the boy was Logan. He was trying to figure out a way to save himself but he was running out of time. The daggers duribility had gone down to 2/10, which meant it could break anytime. He could probably only get one more strike on the deer before the dagger broke, so he had to get a critical strike or he would most likely die. He didn't want to trust the 10% chance, so he had to either get the critical strike, or the knife would need to last more than one slash. Even if he got the critical strike, the deer might still have more hp. As he was thinking of all the ups and downs of his options he came up on a steep hill that went downwards. He didn't have time to stop before he started sliding down the hill. He slid down the hill without any problems, but the deer that was chasing him lost its footing as it rolled down the hill. As the deer arrived at the bottom of the hill it had already lost quite a bit of hp. Logan was still in shock from the fall, and he was also very tired from the run. The deer cimbed back onto its feet and charged at Logan again.
Logan awoke from his shock and saw that the deer was just about to hit him. He reacted quickly and jumped to the side. As the deer passed by him, its horns just narrowly missing him, he slashed at its neck as fast as he could. The knife passed through the deers neck and a -30 showed this time, which also meant he acheived a critical strike. The deer skidded to a stop and slumped over dead.
Congratulations on killing Level 1 [Light-Tailed Deer]

acquired skill: [Blaze]
Logan breathed in a sigh of relief as he caught his breath.
"I need to add to my stamina next." Logan thought. Logan looked at the knife in his hand. The dagger had no sharpness and it had a crack running through it, an obvious sign the knife could no longer be used. He threw the knife into the bushes and walked over to the deer. He still didn't know the information of the deer, but he estimated it to have around 50 hp. He would have tried to skin the deer but he didn't have a knife anymore. He put the deer into his inventory and started walking towards the east.
Logan had walked for an hour when he decided to stop and check his stats.

Logan was surprised by the skill [Blaze] as it just might be useful for starting fires. He also noticed his hp and energy both went up by 5 points since he leveled up. Then he noticed the unused mastery points, and decided to use them. He added all 3 mastery points on basic slash because it was his most useful skill at the moment. He then gathered a bunch of wood and piled it up in a clearing. He then started a fire by using the skill [Blaze]. He then went into the forest and dug a hole, then put some light sticks on top of the hole, and then covered them in dirt. He walked back to the fire to wait for a rabbit or something to fall into his trap.
Logan fell asleep by the fire. When he woke up he didn't know how long he slept for. He got up and checked his trap. There was another [quagga-snowshoe] in the hole. He killed it and also heard the notification...

He then cooked the rabbit and ate it. The sky started blackening once more as he laid on a patch of grass and went to sleep.
Logan awoke the next morning refreshed and excited about his adventures across this unknown land. He needed to find another weapon as soon as possible. He soon arrived at another river and decided to follow it downstream. He had followed the river for half a day when he came upon a small village. The village wasn't very big but he could get a weapon and better clothes. And also more information about this Dream World.
Logan walked into the village trying to look as friendly as possible. He passed a few small houses before he found the blacksmith. He could hear loud "ding" "ding" "ding" noises coming from a small shop. He walked inside and looked around. The shop looked bigger then he expected, it was 20 by 30 feet in diameter. A man with blond hair and bulging muscles was pounding a piece of iron. The man looked up and noticed Logan watching him.
"What can I help you with?" the man asked.
"I'm here to buy a good dagger." Logan said.
"Alright, I only have two daggers made right now, they're sitting on that table over there." the man pointed at a long table on the other side of the shop.
Logan walked over to the table and picked up one of them and looked at its stats.

Logan set the knife back down and picked the other one up.

Logan was more interested in the level 2 knife but he couldn't use it until he was level 2. He grabbed the [Fleshshaper] and walked over to the man. He was nervous because he didn't have any money, so he didn't know how he was going to pay for it.
"Is that the one you want?" the man asked as soon as Logan walked over.
"Yes, but I don't have any money right now, so I'm wondering if in order to pay for this knife I can do a few tasks for you." Logan asked.
"Sure, I could use some help, but first get some new clothes. Here's some money, and my name is Conan Hayes, but just call me Conan." the man threw Logan a small bag. Logan caught the bag and put it in his inventory.
