"Oh god... I thought when my 'other self' said to help him and the rest of his friends he only meant him, Angel, Harvest, and Buns." Jay thought to himself as he lead the group towards the entrance to Murkwood Passage.
The group consisted of Roasted Boar, Abyssal Angel, Bloody Harvest, Hot Buns, a Ranger named Yale, two female Clerics, a male Gunner, and a lady who had the special class of Demon Hunter.
After walking for a few minutes, Jay and the group reached the entrance of Murkwood Passage. Jay then spoke to them.
"I want you guys to remember that after entering this special area, make sure not to get lost and stick with one another. It will be a pain in the ass to look for you if you get lost."

Murkwood Passage
"Woah! What is this place? It looks so eerie and very different from the forest." the female Demon Hunter said.
When Jay saw all of them enter, he then asked the new people he did not know to introduce themselves and how familiar they are with the changes that happened.
The Demon Hunter was the first to introduce herself. "Hi! My name's Roselia. I became a Demon Hunter due to some luck earlier. I am quite used to the new changes except for the part about skills and the monsters having a player's intelligence."
The next one to introduce themselves was the two clerics. "Hello. My name is Abby and this is my sister Annie. Both of us are clerics. We are not used to the changes that happened."
Then Yale decided to be next. "Yo! The name's Yale. I am a Ranger and an Apprentice Basic Blacksmith. I do not know how to use my skills anymore."
The last one who introduced himself was the gunner. "Name's Boras. Gunner. Not used to changes."
While they were introducing themselves, Jay was thinking on how to help them later on based on their personalities they showed in their introductions, and after that, Jay spoke up.
"Okay. Since you guys are not used to the changes, let me tell you one important thing. You must not die at any cost! You will die permanently unless you find some kind of rare treasure or something. So make sure to listen carefully to what I am going to say while we are at this place."
They all broke out in sweat when they heard Jay, but Roasted Boar was curious why since they were just here to kill some monsters and nothing really dangerous based on the number of their group so he asked Jay: "Jack, what kind of dangers are there in this place?"
"Oh yeah. I am currently under the alias of 'Jack' right now." While Jay thought of this, he then replied back to Roasted Boar
"When the system was still available, this place was filled with undead monsters around Level 30. And now that the system is gone, the level of this monsters may vary. After I help you guys familiarize yourselves with your skills and if you are confident enough later on, I might ask you guys to help me clear a dungeon. A level 50 Dungeon."
When they heard Jay's words, they became even more nervous. Seeing the whole party become like this, Jay spoke up again "What are you guys worried about? Just follow my instructions later on carefully and it will be fine."
Leaving them with no choice, they decided to just follow Jay.
After that, Jay and Nuggets led the group towards a group of zombies.

"Hey guys! Big news! A group of players just entered the place!" Crimson Lotus started shouting happily.
"Crimson, are you sure?" Garvey asked.
"Yes. I am sure. I promise I am not drunk when I saw them." Crimson Lotus replied.
The people in the camp then started gathering around Crimson Lotus since they were curious of what they were going to do next. Then a guy in leather armor with two pistols hanging on his belt approached Crimson Lotus.
"Good job sister. Everyone! Follow me and let us meet these players. Explosion, Garvey, both of you are in charge of the camp until I come back."
All of them then replied in unison. "Understood, Guild Leader."

"Yale, before shooting your arrow, make sure to take a very deep breath. Then as you release the arrow, exhale. Make sure to time it well."
...
"Buns! What the hell are you doing! Make sure to use your whole body to support your punch and kicks!"
...
"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!" Jay just shouted at the group while they were fighting the group of zombies since from the start none of them even managed to deal a proper amount of damage to a single zombie and he had to do all the work.
After 30 minutes...
"Well, I suppose I should first show you guys the basic skills of your class. Forget every advanced skill that you learned for now. I hope after this tutorial session, you guys will at least have some kind of improvement." Jay said helplessly since one of them might accidentally die if this will happen every time they will kill some zombies.
No one in the group wanted to refute Jay since they knew that Jay was right. They were completely useless! Jay then asked all of them to sit down for a while.
"Even if I perform a skill that is not part of your class, make sure to still pay attention. It might help you reach enlightenment regarding to your skills."
Jay then started thinking for a while. While he was thinking, everyone had a single thought in their minds right now. "How can he even perform the 'basic skills' if he does not have a skill book?"
Just as they were thinking about that, Jay suddenly unequipped his Chicken Armor Set and spoke up...
"Okay. Time to start your basic skill training."
Jay then took out the Flintlock Pistol from the storage orb. So now, he had a dagger on his left hand and a pistol on his right.
As for Nuggets, she just decided to sleep since she knew that this will probably last for a couple of hours.
