Bawk Bawk!!!

[Companion reviving in : 5 minutes]

"I guess being at level 1 has a use after all..." Jay told himself as he sighed since no matter what he did, Nuggets always breaks free from his grasp and randomly dies wherever it goes. And every time Nuggets respawns, he immediately tries to run away from Jay.

While Jay was walking around Murkwood Passage, he tried to recall the treasure chest locations in the area. "Hmmm... I think there is one near the Passage's exit point. As for the rest, I do not think I can get them for now..." After thinking about that stuff, Jay then focused on walking, avoiding monsters, etc. while Nuggets just kept on dying randomly every after 5 minutes.

After some time later, Jay arrived at a weird place in Murkwood Passage since unlike any other place where dead trees and gray soil were abundant, in this place, the ground was made of cobblestone and gravestones where found everywhere. In short, a graveyard. But for some reason, the graveyard was too quiet, with no undead crawling around.

"Looks like the right place. Now I should get that sweet treasure chest first before leaving." After saying this to himself, he kept checking the gravestones one by one... "Nope, not this, not that..."

After a few moments later...

"Bingo!" Jay exclaimed as he found a gravestone made entirely out of iron. Jay then used 'Observation'

[Hero's Gravestone]

Description: Here lies the remains of a hero of the past.

[Does player want to dig up the gravestone? Yes/No]

[Yes]

Unlike any other gravestones that were just decorations and spawn points for undead monsters, the 'Hero's Gravestone' is registered as an item. This is actually just a lucky discovery of random players who got stuck and grinded for undead monsters in Murkwood Passage.

It was discovered that the 'Hero's Gravestone' contains random equipment. Sadly for them, Jay will be the one who gets the loot this time.

[Jay received Leah's Dagger (Silver/Rare - Dagger)]

[Jay received 20 Silver coins (Currency will be stored on system's storage.)]

"SWEET!!! Let me just check the stats of this dagger before leaving this place."

[Leah's Dagger (Silver/Rare - Dagger)

"Nice! Finally! I now have a weapon. But... how the hell am I going to equip it if my hands are like this... I hate my life..." Jay said to himself as he looked at his arms.

"Screw it, I'll find someone to 'Dispel' the 'Winged Arms' and 'Bird Claws' when I reach Murkwood Town." Just as Jay used the 'Storage' function of the system...

Bawk Bawk!!!

*crunching noises

[Nuggets swallowed unidentified object.]

[Nuggets received 1 damage from suffocation]

[Nuggets died]

Jay thought it that the crunching noise came from a random undead monster and ignored the notifications about Nuggets, and started heading towards a small wooden shack near the graveyard.

"The hell is wrong with this chicken? First it dies to random monsters and now it eats a random object..." Jay wondered to himself. Sadly, Jay did not know that this 'small' incident will cost him dearly in the future...

When Jay arrived at the small wooden shack...

[Player discovered an exit point]

[Leave Murkwood Passage? Yes/No]

"Yes please..." After getting asked by the system, Jay made sure that Nuggets is still dead so that he would not have to carry him around and to make sure he does not get left behind.

[Companion reviving in: 1 minute, 30 seconds]

"Ok... Let's go!" Jay then entered the wooden shack while a blinding light appeared from the door the moment he entered.

[Player left Murkwood Passage (Special Area)]

[Player rewarded with 1000 EXP and 1 Gold coin for leaving special area for the first time]
