Just has Kaito saw the end drawing near in the shape of two furry creatures, a figure with broad shoulders stepped in front of him.
Kaito saw the name tag over the player's head: WarriorDude
The man swung his sword in a big arc, killing the rabbit that was already low on HP and damaging the other, knocking it back.
"You looked like you needed some help there" WarriorDude looked back at Kaito, flashing a grin.
WarriorDude put his sword in front of him, and starting charging towards the creature, hitting the rabbit and stunning it momentarily.
Then He dragged his sword along the ground, cutting through the grass and dirt, leaving a trail behind it before slashing at the creature, knocking it up into the air.
Two swift slices followed before the rabbit reached the ground, dead.
〈Killed GreenWood Rabbit Lvl.1!〉x2!
〈acquired 2 rabbit pelts〉
〈Gained 6 Experience!〉
〈Current Quest : Pelts for Baldrum! Rabbit Pelts (10/10)〉
Kaito looked at the notifications and then looked at WarriorDude.
"Thanks for the help, i appreciate it" Kaito took a small bow, showing gratitude.
The sword wielding brute let out a hearty laugh "Don't worry about it, I couldn't just stand idle seeing a fellow player needing help".
Kaito nodded "Oh, by the way, it seems like I got all of the loot, I can share it with you, seeing as you were the one doing most of the work"
WarriorDude smiled at the kind gesture "You got all the loot because you started the fight with these rabbits, and there is no need, keep the loot".
WarriorDude looked at Kaito, looking for what kind of weapon he was using "What class are you?"
"Oh, i'm a necromancer" Kaito answered
A look of pity was shown on WarriorDude's face, but only a for a second before it got replaced by his usual radiating smile.
"I took a small break after getting my quest and logged out to read the forums, it seems like necromancer is seen to be a bad class. You should maybe check the forums yourself?"
WarriorDude looked at Kaito "If it's as bad as people say, then maybe deleting your account and starting anew would be a good idea, your account is tied to your class after all"
Kaito nodded silently, pondering.
"By the way!, add me, my name is WarriorDude"
WarriorDude jogged away, waving behind him as he left.
'Delete my account huh? is the class really that bad?' Kaito felt bitter at the thought of this.
"Oh well, i can hand in my quest and then take a small break and see what the forums say" Kaito walked into the town once more.
He spotted the sign reading "The Huntsman" and walked in.
Barely one step inside he was greeted by a thunderous voice "Oh yer' back! How was the hunt?!"
Baldrum smiled as he stood up from his chair behind the counter "Nasty fellas' those rabbits, but easy to kill once you get the hang of them" He looked at Kaito, smiling widely.
Kaito handed over the pelts to Baldrum "It was alright, although it took longer than i would have wanted"
〈Quest Completed! : Pelts for Baldrum!〉
〈Gained 15 Experience!〉
〈Talk to Baldrum for rewards〉
Baldrum received the pelts and put them down on the counter "What are ye' talking about? it's only afternoon, you were quick!, I didn't even need to wait half a day"
Kaito smiled wryly.
"Oh, almost forgot! you want a reward for your troubles don't ya!" Baldrum winked at Kaito has he handed him 25 copper coins.
Kaito received the coins and put them into his inventory, he only needed to think about it and the coins disappeared from his hand and were put into some magical storage. This was also the same way he had carried the pelts around.
"Thank you" Kaito said as he thought about the reward, "What exactly can i do with 25 copper coins?"
"Oh! you don't know boy?!, no matter, Baldrum here will teach ya! You see, 10 copper coins will get you a room for a day at the town's local inn, and for 2 copper coins you could get a nice meal for your belly"
Kaito nodded as Baldrum continued explaining-
"10 copper coins equals 1 silver coin, and 10 silver coins equals 1 gold coin. And i'm sorry for not rewarding you any silver coins, i'm a bit short on money at the moment". Baldrum smiled, proud over his explanation.
"Thank you for telling me" Kaito gave a slight bow and was ready to leave the shop when Baldrum piped up-
"Come back sometime soon, i might have other hunting quests for you, and once i tan these pelts and sell em' there'll be plenty of coin in it for you!" Baldrum sat down behind his desk, waving his hand.
"Yeah, i'm sure i will" Kaito left the store and walked out into the middle of the town square.
'Should be time to eat something, and i should probably take a break'. But before logging off Kaito wanted to take a quick look at his stats, 'i should be close to leveling up'.

'Only 5 experience off leveling up, it's tempting to kill rabbits for the last bit' Kaito pondered, if the necromancer class was as bad as it seemed, maybe he should start a new account instead.
He logged out.
As Kaito took of the gaming helmet he was met by an sudden hunger, 'perhaps the system suppresses these feelings while in game'.
He walked into the kitchen, bringing his laptop with him. While starting to prepare some food he also took a look at the PARACOSM: Online forums.
The forums were active and millions of people were writing posts about the graphics, the NPC's, the classes and the different starting villages, apparently players started in all kinds of different parts of the Paracosm world, some people had spawned in a snowy area, and others in a tropical one.
Kaito scrolled through the different posts, seeing titles such as:
⊴HOW TO GET THE BEST START IN PARACOSM: Online⊵
⊴WHICH CLASS TO CHOOSE?⊵
⊴HOW TO MAKE THE FEMALE NPCS FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU!!! #NOTCLICKBAIT⊵
⊴THE FRIENDLY NPCS CAN KILL PLAYER!?!?⊵
There were a lot of game analyst who had already written long paragraphs, analyzing the game fully.
One post caught Kaito attention, one post that had gotten a lot of comments, it was one of the top posts-
⊴NECROMANCER IS THE WORST CLASS!⊵
Kaito clicked on the post and saw a small text appear, under it was a whole thread of comments filling the whole screen.
⊲NECROMANCER IS THE WORST CLASS!⊳˅
∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼
"I was one of the first ones to receive the necromancer class in my village, it was a total scam! the skeletons are close to useless, and the ability to summon one costs 25 mana! 25 hecking mana! it's all the mana i have! Anyways, i deleted my account and started a new character, this time i'll be a mage or something, anything is more useful than the necromancer, heed my warning!"
∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼∼
xHardcoregamerx: I've also deleted my account, i can't believe that the class even exist, it's a total scam!
Necromancer4lyfe: I really looked forward to this class, but now i have to play something else, curse the developers! ;-;
Looking4GamerGF: I saw a necromancer fighting a rabbit for his life today, can't believe how weak that class is, i feel sorry for the player that has chosen it.
TrustTheCake69x: SAGAHASOUIHGFOISAH! i was looked forward to playing the necromancer!!!!, i was just about to start the game!!!, oh well, i have to play something else, what do you guys recommend???
Kaito read through all the comments, a low sigh left him, a hint of irritation could be seen on his face. 'Do i really need to create a new account?'
He sat down and started to eat his food, pondering.
'I'll give it one more try, i'm pretty close to leveling up after all, maybe the class becomes better then. If not, i guess i'll delete this character.'
Next chapter is when the fun starts happening, please stay with me and continue reading! <3
