Leaving The Village

Yumiro was given an old scroll by Elder Caron. "Many thanks for your valuable assistance; you're the right adventurer who needed to hold this scroll."

On his dusty face, he raised his brows and snickered. "I appreciate it, Elder Caron." He walked away from the kobolds who had already died, clasping the scroll without much thought. While the seven of them had sufficient strength to flee.

Yumiro was relieved because he could seize the monster's core without exerting too much effort and achieve +3 level in an instant.

As soon as the function screen flashed in front of his eyes with a ding sound, he was astounded to learn that he was already one of the 100 potential adventurers.

"It's too fast; I never imagined I'd get to this point." He muttered to himself as he placed the red crystal in his inventory.

He let out a deep sigh of relief, knowing that the elves had survived the kobold invasion. Nonetheless, 5 of them died.

Yumiro witnessed the anguish felt by the elves as their members died without their heads. Celine was able to regain her strength thanks to the ring, which could boost her regeneration. She crept slowly up to the elf, who was bathed in his own blood.

"I'm sorry, Kiro. I abandoned you." Her tears streamed down her flushed cheek. Even the elf blood sucked by her black robe didn't bother her.

"Why did I believe they were genuine? Something has snatched my heart." He closed his eyes and shook his head slowly. To lighten his mood, he moved closer to Celine.

He patted his head all over and cleared his throat before spitting some words. "Un, I'm sorry I can't make it, but that's the extent of my abilities." Yumiro shrugged her shoulder.

"It's not your fault; I saw you do everything you could to save our village; we greatly appreciate your assistance." Celine spun around and knelt down while her body was shivering.

Yumiro was conscious of what happened in the elve race because he knew he made up a random plan. As a result, he lightly patted Celine's without looking at her. "Stop crying; he gives his life to give you all freedom. He appears to be content if you live your life to the fullest."

Celine looked at him with teary eyes and a wide smile. "Yes, I will; we will not squander our time rebuilding our kingdom. We will never forget his assistance."

Yumiro barely smile. "That's the right thing to do, and I'm glad to hear it." He wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, but then he remembered something important. "Un, Celine, would you mind backing my ring?"

"Ring?" She inquired and held her hands. "Is this your ring? It's really lovely... Please accept my apologies." Celine was curious as to why she had a ring on her finger, but she didn't bother asking him. "I'm sorry, here..."

He grabbed the ring, but he abruptly closed Celine's hand it. "Hais... did you like that ring?" He asked.

Celine uncontrollably shook her head while her sparkling eyes telling that she adored the ring. "Don't worry about me, Grim. I'm still amazed; you can have it; it's yours." She spoke in a hushed tone.

In his mind, he gained so much experience with their assistance, as well as the scroll and knife he took from Korbu. They appeared to have lavished him with benefits. "No, you may have it; I am aware that the ring is affixed to your hand." His face flushed, so he shifted his gaze away from her to avoid making eye contact.

Celine was like a child who had received a present from his parents. She felt shy after hearing Yumiro's words because she assumed Grim gave it to her because she didn't want to turn it back. "No, Grim, this is yours, and I apologize for my attitude."

"You do not want it? Okay." "I'll just leave it here, it's not mine for now," he said and grabbing the ring once more. Yumiro placed the ring beside the marble, out of reach of the blood, and planned to leave the village right away.

"Thank you so much, Grim; we don't know how to repay your kindness; this ring will serve as your reminder to the elves race."

"I'm happy if you will," Yumiro said, waving his hand back. "You have already paid with this item." He mumbled.

...

After a few hours, Yumiro's stats had returned to 100 percent, despite the fact that he had a lot of free attributes to use. He doesn't mind because he knew when and where to put it.

"I guess this is the end of my business." He stood up and said this. "I should leave right now, Elder Caron; I hope your village returns to normalcy."

"Yes, I'll try to get back." Even though he saw the elves were cheerfully waving at him, he ignored it since he didn't want to attach from any creatures.

Elder Caron gathered all the elves in front of the village exit. "We've come to express our gratitude." They knelt on the dried surface, their faces touching it.

"Thank you for your assistance, great adventurer! Please return to our village! We will prepare various types of meat for you." The Elves all spoke at once.

"I'll try to get back to you." Even though he noticed the elves cheerfully waving at him, he ignored them because he didn't want to be attached to any creatures.

When he stepped out into the entrance, a shock wave touched his body, indicating that he had returned to the perilous forest where the other monster resided.

"After three more levels, I can join any guild, but which is the best option? Should I take the old man's offer? Oh, I'm overthinking things; I'll handle the later." The area was completely dark, and only the moonlight allowed him to look around.

He sat next to the large tree, where the firefly flew in a circle. "First and foremost, identify those items, inventory!" He then took the knife and the scroll from a dark space that appeared next to him. The knife was the first thing he checked, so he dragged his index finger across it for 3 seconds.

Swish!

A new screen appeared with a buzzing sound.

[Kariki blade- Aflame with the touch of the fire element, it can deal 110>120 damage, which can increase as the magic ability increases.

He sighed deeply. "Hais... I thought this weapon would be useful in this forest, but let's look at the other one first. I hope I could found something helpful here" When he did the same thing, a widescreen appeared.

[Item name: Magic upgrading scroll- by using your magic tier increase +1]

[Item type: rare item]

"Yuhoo!" Yumiro rejoiced when he discovered an item that he could sell for a high price and earn real money. "I know, I know, Amiya will be overjoyed if she finds out." He smiled, but that smile quickly faded when he heard there was a creature behind the bushes.

"What's that?!"
