The fme died down in front of Liam, revealing the few lifeless wolves. Their corpses didn’t show any injuries. Clearly the game wasn’t that cruel to the pyers.
Immediately Liam fshed. He touched the wolves quickly before anyone could think about robbing him.
[Received 16 copper]
[Received ‘Wolf meat’ x3]
[Received ‘Wolf fur’ x2]
Liam wasn’t impressed by his loot. While a few of the arriving pyers gratuted him and a few wore sour faces, the veteran disappeared into the forest.
He did his best to look natural while his eyes sed the ground. A moment ter a grin formed on his face.
Great, no oiced it.
Liam reached out with his hand, pulling a sword out from under a tree trunk.
[Rech’s Iron SwordCategory: on
Level requirement: 1
Attack Damage: 6-7
Attack Speed: 0,7
Rech doesn’t like waste, reusing even scrap metal. However, the result isn’t much better than scrap.]
Liam was surprised. This sword certainly didn’t drop from the monsters. Apparently, the blond man solved a quest iown.
But now this reward had ged hands. Liam didn’t think much about it as he equipped this sword instead of his Basic Iron Sword.
At low levels even one point of damage shouldn’t be looked down upon.
A short while ter the party gathered again around old man Meyhran.
Silver Bde spoke to the man:
“Sir, the wolves have been taken care of.”
“Great, thank you, well done! Finally, I tinue on my way. You, young adventurer will be a great hero one day! I already see it.”
Even knowing that the old man C Silver Bde felt flustered from the praise.
“Ah, don’t, don’t. I just wao do a good deed.”
“You are right. And no good deed should be without reward.
Here, each of you take oem from my bag.”
[Cye: That bag again! Didn’t the old man say he doesn’t have anything on him?]
The party members chuckled while Meyhran put his leather bag on the floor, ope wide, revealing a bck hole.
“I would say Silver Bde should have the honor of the first draw.”
Silver Bde smiled shyly as everyone agreed with Liam’s suggestion. But wheepped forward, Meyhran spoke up again:
“You draw two items.”
Liam stared at the old man in disbelief. Where did the Meyhran he knew go; the old man famous for his stinginess?
But the others didn’t think too much, staring at Silver Bde’s hand in anticipation.
“Go, go!”, cheered Cye happily.
[Sear progress: 5s]
A progress bar filled in front of Silver Bde. After five seds she drew her hand back.
A dagger appeared, glinting in the sunlight. While Silver Bde looked somewhat disappoihe two brothers had shining eyes.
“A level five dagger…”
Everyone could hear the disi in Silver Bde’s voice. Talin immediately perked up:
“If you don’t , you sell it to me at any time! Just name a price!”
“S…”
Silver Bde was just about to accept when a message appeared before her eyes.
[Bleary Mirage: If you want to make the most of it, don’t accept yet. Wait until pyers have some money.]
Silver Bde read Bleary Mirage’s message, obvious struggle on her face.
“Didn’t you say your brother was a thief?”, asked Liam leisurely.
But ultimately Silver Bde didn’t feel fortable with trig people. She answered somewhat guiltily.
“No, no. You must have misheard.
Talin, I sell you the dagger. What about fifteen copper?”
Malin had a jealous look, realizing that he was too slow as his brother hastily opehe trade window, pg 15 copper.
Talin and Silver Bde accepted, and the dagger ged owners. With a smug smile the thief pyed with the dagger in his hand.
Liam could only shake his head, knowing that Silver Bde made a loss.
But the woman didn’t care that much, reag for Meyhran’s bag again.
After five seds a pair of earrings appeared in her hand, dreamy turquoise stone expertly inid in a golden foundation.
Cye looked at them with big eyes.
“So beautiful.”
Liam had a simir rea as he inwardly praised Silver Bde’s luck. But maybe it was also because this was the first unique quest, granting generous rewards.
Anyways, Silver Bde was satisfied as she put the earrings on, their civing her fair face a gentle aura.
“My earrings increase magical defehey’re perfect!”, expihe woman with a happy smile.
Cye almost couldn’t hold herself back.
“Now me, me!”
Stepping forward she quickly put her hand in the bag.
As the loading bar appeared, the woman closed her eyes, her lips moving silently, praying for luck.
Pulling her hand, a small inspicuous tome appeared in her hand, green light pying around it.
Liam’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“How could you draw a green-magic item?!”
Cye gri the tome in her hand, but hearing Liam’s questioraightened her face, appearing nont.
“What’s so special about a magic item?”
“You…”
Silver Bde chuckled as even Liam didn’t know what to say.
The two thief brothers couldn’t stop their jealousy from showing on their faces. Growing impatient, they stepped forth and reached for the bag.
Cye looked at them in displeasure, deg to only show her tome to Silver Bde and Bleary Mirage.
[Small Basie of MagicCategory: Magic

Magical Damage +7

Cye was a bit uain as two pert sounded rather low. But looking at Liam’s appreciative face she grew fident.
“Hehe, is it very good?”
“Quite impressive. Don’t look down on the critical ce, su effect is pretty rare.”
“gratutions, Cye.”, spoke Silver Bde with a genuine smile.
“Hehehe.”
As Cye equipped her tome in her off-hand, Liam looked over at the two thieves. He was a bit te, only notig them pocketing a on and a piece of paper, their faot showing much joy.
Finally, it was Liam’s turn.
He stepped forth, inwardly pleading Meyhran to prepare something good for him.
Five seds passed quickly. A small white book appeared in Liam’s hand. He felt his heart skip a beat, instantly letting it disappear in his iory.
The others couldn’t even look fast enough. Cye asked with a puzzled expression:
“What did you get?”
“Tzz. That old mahe worst for st! I got a lore book. What a waste!”
“Lore book? What’s that?”
“A book writing about some of the history of aboul. If you read it attentively it help is and grant some EXP.”
“But this doesn’t sound so bad.”
“The problem is there are thousands of such books scattered everywhere. Who knows which book be useful for which quest.”
The others showed uanding expression. No oiced the amused glint in Meyhran’s eyes as he retrieved his bag.
With a grunt the old man slung it over his shoulders, the bag obviously not a bit less heavy then at the beginning.
Liam looked in the uanding faces of his party members, feigning annoyance. But at this point quite a few pyers had already gathered, and he didn’t want those to know what he really got.
[Cross SshCategory: Basic Skillbook
Effect: Ssh a cross with your ons, dealing 150% physical damage and reduce your oppo’s armor by 0,5% for three seds.

Silver Bde felt unfortable by the curious gazes as well, urging her group on.
“We should be done here, right? we leave?”
At this moment Meyhran addressed the young woman:
“Adventurer, I hope you are satisfied with your reward. This old man will tinue his journey now. Let’s meet again if fate wills it!”
[
[Evaluation: A]
[Receive 75 EXP]
[Reward: One ce to draw from Meyhran’s bag.]
[“Let’s meet again if fate wills it!”]
“Oh. Of course, old man! Good luck!”
“Good luo your journey.”
“’till ime, old man.”, murmured Liam.
Silver Bde showed a bright smile, feeling an exhirating feeling after pleting her first quest.
Is this why my brother likes games so much? I have to admit this feeling isn’t bad.
But the surprises for the young woman didn’t end here as a notification suddenly appeared in front of the party’s eyes.
[gratutions on being the first to solve a
[Your aplishment is worthy of being remembered.]
[You choose to name your team or stay anonymous.]
Various emotions hit everyone. While his team members were mostly pleasantly surprised, Liam couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Even if I don’t try, I still gather achievements. I guess it’s only natural with the current information gap. Maybe it will ge iure.
Silver Bde khat C was waiting for her, asking the others for opinions:
“Guys, what should I do?”
Liam pondered for a moment before shrugging his shoulders. Although he wasn’t ied in fame, he also didn’t fear it, leaving the choice to his teammates.
After a short discussion in was Cye’s suggestion which ted by everyone:
“Sihis was a team effort, let’s the first letters of our eam TMMBC.”
