Level 3

Leveling up

Killing more than 10 skeleton warriors, Alex finally leveled up to level 3.

He quickly went back to Renata's coffin and submited the completed quest.

Renata "Thank you, brave adventurer. May your journey be lucky and smooth."

Saying these words, his figure started fading and soon disappeared from the cemetery.

Alex watched till she faded away and wished loudly," May you rest in peace."

"You get 50XP!"

"You get Forgotten's Cuff"

Alex quickly checked the item.

[Forgotten's cuff]

Level: 2

rarity: blue(rare)

stamina+2

Dexteriy+2

Alex quickly changed his new equipment and started heading back to the village.

Arriving in front of Snow Feather, he submitted the skeleton subjugation quest.

"You get 20XP!"

Accepting the following quest, he restocked on potions and begin his ways to the west side of the village.

Alex soon arrived in front of a lush forest and saw a bunch of monkeys rushing and jumping around.

This was his aim, as the quest requirement is to collect 10 fur from the monkeys.

Before fighting them, Alex first upgraded his novice weapon to level 3 and checked their statistics with insight.

Name: Brown-tailed monkey

Level: 3

HP: 150/150

MP: 150/150

He saw their HP was even lower than the skeletons, so he quickly used stealth and prepared to attack one of them.

Before attacking, he checked and saw that their name was yellow, which meant they would not attack him even if he kills his target.

Realizing this, he didn't hesitate anymore and approached one from behind.

"Ambush"

-80(Critical)

"Sting"

-22

After taking 2 hits in a row, the monkey reacted and swept his tail on him.

-16

Alex didn't expect the monkey to attack with his tail and got hit. But seeing the monkey remaining 1/3 HP, he didn't back down and used

"Rush Faint"

-10(stunned)

Seeing that the enemy have been stunned, he hit him 2 basic attack and executed him.

-19 -19

"Devour"

The monkey was still stunned, so didn't even have time to despair before it got devoured.

"Killing the monkey, You get 3XP"

"You get 4 energy!"

"You get a piece of monkey fur!"

"Devouring the monkey you get intelligence 0,2!"

Seeing the system notifications, Alex was surprised to see the absorbed attributes. Before, every time he devoured mobs, all he got was 0,1 increase, but now its number finally increased.

Alex checked his improved status

Name: Deathwhisper

Level: 3 (75/400)

Occupation: Assassin

HP: 280/280

MP: 250/250

Attributes: strength 10, Dexterity 25, Stamina 14, Intelligence 12,5

His overall attributes are more than 60, while other players are around 30 at this level.

Just from this, you can see how much he is ahead of others. It is no wonder that he can literally instakill monsters of the same level.

Alex thought, " Unbelievable. It was shocking enough to get 1 stat point by killing 10 creatures, but now I only need to kill 5 to get 1. It seems like as the enemy's attributes increase, I will be able to absorb more by devouring them. Maybe later I will even get a whole status point just by killing a single enemy."

Looking at the monkeys, he decided, "Since I am here, let's strive to strengthen myself until I can finish them without giving them a chance to fight back."

Alex started killing the monkeys. It took him 5 second to kill a single monkey and 30 second to wait for his cooldown. After killing 2 of them, he had to consume mana potions because he ran out of mana.

Time passed, and after 2 hours Alex run out of Mana potions. In these 2 hours, he killed 50 monkeys and further increased his status by 2 str, 3 dex, 3 sta, and 2 int. His XP bar also progressed for more than half.

Alex would have continued, but since he had to return to sell his miscellaneous items and restock on potions, he felt it would be better to follow the quest line and progress with that as well.

Arriving in the village again, he first submited the quest.

"You get 30XP!

"You get a Beginner's armguard"

[Beginner's armguard]

level requirement: 3

Rarity: uncommon(Green)

Sta+ 1

Dex+ 1

Equipping the item, his status got a slight boost again. Checking the follow up quest, his mission is to collect 5 red grass. It can be found anywhere in the beginner village.

It took him 15 minutes to collect and submitting the quest.

"You get 30XP!"

"You get healing medicine x5!"

Healing medicine is different from Health Potions. Using medicine, you still need to sit down and spend some time to consume it, but it can recover way more health than potions. Not that useful for Alex, but it is better than nothing.

Taking the next quest, he made his way to the wild boar area. This time, he needs to find a lost child and bring him/her back to the village.

Alex quickly found a crying little girl in the woods and brought her back to the village. It was easy since he knows most of the quests. After submitting this task.

He took on 2 more quest. One for repairing sign boards around the village and one for subjugating cave rats.

The sign boards were located in the 4 directions of the village and it was not tiring.

The rats' strength was almost the same as the monkeys, they were just a little more healthy.

Devouring them also gave you the same bonuses, so he stayed there until he reached level 4.

In total, he slayed 30 rats and spent 40 minutes there, which of course meant 6 more bonus attributes.

Arriving back at the village, he noticed that the atmosphere was different from before. There was a commotion and as he listened, he heard a clue.

"I swear that i saw it with my own eyes, 5 player teaming up and killing anyone leveling in that area."

"I believe him. My friend also said that he got killed by people who had red names."

"Yeah, he is not lying. Yesterday, while killing the wolves, someone also attacked me from behind!"

More and more player showed up and each of their words had the same essence.

Player killers appeared in the wolf area. Alex listened carefully, as his next leveling location was in this place.

After acquiring more or less about the situation, he accepted the new quest and headed towards the wolf area.
