Breaking up the band

Jax drank a health potion just in case there was another assassin nearby and began picking up all the loot they got.

Since it was guaranteed that a player would drop an equipped item, that wasn't the starting items, upon death, they got a lot of good stuff.

"Good" being relative to the average player base. Most would still be using common items up until level 10 when uncommon would be sold in the cities.

'Why did everyone have to immediately go to fighting.' He was expecting more people to have shown up yet it was only one group and an individual.

The group was led by a brat, and the individual was an unknown. If anything, he seemed like a solo player as well just put to steal his prizes.

"So none of the top guilds bothered sending people huh? That's very surprising." Jax mumbled to himself as he picked up a pair of Common pants.

He had just stolen the first achievement of the game and none of them acted right away. Either they didn't care or they didn't have enough man power to search all the beginner villages, but he would still have to be careful around them for a while.

*rustle*

Jax quickly turned and aimed his pistol in the direction of the rustling to see a tired looking priest with his hands up.

"Oh it's you. You're late." Jax went up to Father Francis and shook his hand. Behind him were more than 20 people of various classes. They all looked confused but Jax answered them… kind of.

"The enemy is gone but you are welcome to pick up any remaining equipment you find, most of it is common though. The dungeon isn't too far from here if you wanna try it out."

Jax yelled so that everyone could hear. A lot of them had greedy smiles on their faces but Jax didn't care, he took the majority of stuff so they would only get scraps. Also, the dungeon was harder than it looked so they would all be losing out for rushing in too fast.

"So did you find out anything?" Jax asked Father Francis.

The man sighed and scratched the back of his head, "You know, I don't think this is how favors work."

Jax had messaged Francis his coordinates and directions to help against the ambush, calling it his favor. Francis didn't know him well, but the man was a good judge of character and found Jax to be better than most.

Although the way Jax put himself out there for people to see was a contrast to how he was in real life.

"It is a favor," Jax retorted, "you guys get plenty of loot to sell, and you are also the first players other than us to try out the dungeon and I'll even give you tips for it."

Although Francis still didn't think this was how favors worked, he still accepted it. It would be a great profit for him, and many of the people here, he was friends with. Some were strangers he recruited to help last minute, but he made sure to accept only the best people.

Jax then began telling him about the ambushes inside the dungeon and the kind of exp they gave. He talked about the drops and talked about the special item the Hobgoblin had that increased his damage based on the number of people around him.

Francis wrote some notes in his system and sent them as a message to himself. Jax hadn't even known of such a thing so it was a good way to remember information.

They both made their way towards the dungeon as they came across a group of female players who were surrounding Succie. She was still in her succubus form but had gone back to her normal size.

The women were complimenting her looks and admiring the different features. Some of the guys from earlier thought it was a monster and went to slay it but were stopped by the girls who were sensible enough to use analyze.

They proved she was a player and shooed others away. They weren't sure how she changed her class but they didn't plan to pry, they were just curious about her.

Father Francis gave her a heal when he was close enough and the girls began asking Jax questions about her. All he said was she got a class change from an item and if they wanted specifics on anything else they needed to ask her.

Father Francis went ahead with the girls to the dungeon so he could divide everyone into smaller groups of 5 just as Jax had suggested.

They would take it slow and gain better equipment before taking on the hobgoblin since most of them only had common armor.

They also had to be aware of how much exp they gained or they risked going over level 10.

Jax sat on the grass as he waited for Succie to wake up. He decided to take a look at his level and loot since he killed a lot of players.

He even had a red name tag now so he wouldn't be able to go into town for a while. He thought the whole red tag thing was annoying since he was only defending himself but since he drew first blood, he because the aggressor.

'Maybe I should put in a support ticket for this.' He debated about it when he heard Succie stir.

"Mmm I'm hungry Sarah… I want cheeze itz…" Succie mumbled something before going back to sleep again.

Jax didn't want to wait any longer so he thought about something real quick and stood up. He stood over the now snoring Succie and swung around his arm like Popeye before slamming it back down on her bare ass.

The booty jiggle was mesmerizing.

It stung his hand but he ignored it as Succie shot up screaming. "What the fuck was that for Sarah?!"

"I'm not Sarah idiot." Jax glared at her and she remembered where she was. She gently touched her tender ass cheek that turned red in the form of a hand print.

"Why did you do that! That hurt a lot!" Tears weld up in her eyes as he explained, "I said I would reward you with a slap so I did just that."

"Wait I thought you would do that when I was awake! That doesn't count!" She paled once she realized she slept through her reward.

Jax ignored her pleas and she cried again. Once she calmed down she refused to sit down anymore as she didn't want to ruin the handprint on her ass.

She planned to find a mirror in town to look at it since it didn't seem to be leaving anytime soon. He even managed to break some blood vessels, if that was even possible in-game, so she would be feeling it for a while.

Although it was painful, she only smiled as it reminded her of Jax every time it throbbed. Jax had enough of her since he had been stuck with this horny, useless tank so he said, "Alright I'm heading back to town, don't follow me."

He planned to roam around for a bit to see if he could find the field boss while waiting for his red tag to disappear. He didn't know how long it would take but it was better to use that time for something even if it didn't bear fruit in the end.

"Wait what?! I thought we were a party now, you can leave me!" Succie complained.

"I thought I said it was only temporary. You show me the dungeon and I help you clear it so you can reset your spawn. Hopefully you won't spawn at the dungeon anymore but I guess you won't find out 'til you die again."

Jax began walking away but she still followed him begging to stay as a party. It was getting even more annoying than her sexual behaviors so he put his foot down.

"I won't party with you because your succubus nature is very frustrating to deal with, not to mention dangerous in a battle if it goes off. You can't control it and neither of us really know what your title and class are. If you can't promise to never do anything sexual to me or cry like a baby all the time, I will be leaving for good."

He gave her a small chance, as he could see the potential in her class and race, but her personality was just too frustrating for him. It reminded him of one of those stereotypical 'dumb blinded' only she had dark hair.

She also reminded him of a child or teenager and that killed the mood between them. She may look like a woman, but she's never really acted like one and he couldn't get along with someone so immature.

Of course he didn't know her circumstances or anything, about why she may act like that, but it didn't matter to him.

He had his own worries and didn't need her slowing him down. If she wanted to follow him, she had to prove she would take this game seriously.

His words caused her to stop. She looked like her world was ending as tears streamed down her face. She looked like she was thinking of something, but she was taking forever so Jax turned away.

"Goodbye and good riddance." He waved his hand from the distance.
