Kael, Elara, and Edric left the capital after picking up a casual quest from the restaurant.[Delivery for Red Moon Restaurant(Common), you have been tasked with a delivery quest! Hunt and deliver the meat of the danger zone monsters, Leavie Bear, to the Red Moon Restaurant in 24 hours! Any type of meat from Leavie Bear will do.][Reward: Income based on the quality and quantity of the meat. Friendship with the Red Moon Restaurant.]Since the quest was so casual and Elara clearly had a plan to make the trip entertaining, Kael did not bother accepting the quests his master had recommended for hunting monsters. He also doubted they would spend much time outside the capital.“What’s your class, Edric?” Kael asked.His sister’s boyfriend was dressed in ordinary outdoor clothes, making it difficult to determine what class he used. With the main class and subclass system allowing countless combinations, Edric could have been almost anything. For all Kael knew, the man could even be a mage d

Once Fenrath, Rakuun, Averic, and Seraphyne took their usual positions, Kael bent down and lifted Fenrath into his arms like an oversized puppy. He tried to imitate the way Illara had cuddled the wolf before, although he was missing the two pillows Fenrath had apparently come to appreciate whenever he was around women.Fenrath did not seem to care.His attention immediately went to Elara.The look in her jade eyes made her interest in him obvious. It reminded Fenrath of the way Illara had treated him, and he quickly reached the conclusion that this woman probably wanted to cuddle him too.Fenrath woofed in response.A moment later, Elara had him in her arms, squeezing the fluffy white wolf against herself with genuine delight.“So cute! Ah, so cute and soft! I want him!” Elara buried her face in Fenrath’s fur, practically trembling with excitement. “Leave that idiot and come to me, Fenrath!”Fenrath woofed happily.For the moment, he was perfectly content in Elara’s arms. He had been

After the pets’ introduction and the brief drama that followed, Kael finally entered the depths of the forest with Elara and Edric. This was the northern defensive line of the Warmonger Empire, a vast forest crawling with monsters that attacked without caring who stood in their way. Unless their instincts warned them to retreat from an opponent they could not overcome, they would throw themselves into battle without hesitation. Fortunately, Elara and Edric’s levels were high enough that most of the monsters had no interest in approaching them, which gave Kael plenty of freedom to look around and take notes for his own future adventures.Near the edge of the forest, Kael had already noticed several soldiers’ tents and guards stationed around the area. Every so often, the number of monsters inside the forest would grow beyond what the area could contain, forcing them out in what the soldiers called a monster tide. It was not enough to threaten the capital, but it was still a troublesome

“You six, come at me. If you don’t want to, I don’t mind going for a player kill. No one can really trouble me around here!”The woman facing Elara twisted her expression. “You really want to damage the already feeble relationship between our guilds, do you? Going so far as to player kill us close to the Warmonger Empire!”Elara’s eyes immediately sharpened.She had noticed something strange. The Raven Guild players were not nearly as vulgar as they usually were when picking a fight with her. More importantly, they did not seem interested in fighting at all. Under normal circumstances, Raven Guild’s high-level players would never speak to her like this or lower themselves enough to mention their relationship so early.Kael, however, had no interest in their argument. He had no idea what had happened between Elara and Raven Guild in the first place, and he certainly did not intend to stand around and listen to them argue about it. He turned toward Edric, only to discover that the man w
Chapter 73
Kael had no interest in getting dragged into a pointless argument between two rival guilds. Once he saw that Edric had chosen Elara’s side and was clearly going to help her fight, Kael quietly began looking for the right opportunity to slip away. That opportunity came when Charlotte stepped out from the group and moved to the front. With everyone’s attention focused on her, Kael immediately bolted. He caught only her introduction before disappearing into the forest, certain that nobody had noticed him leaving.‘If even one of them were an Archer, I would have stayed behind… Nah, nope! I don’t want any high-level influence!’ Kael thought.From what he could see, none of them were Archers. Everyone had weapons suited to their classes, and the group seemed extremely protective of their newbie player. Perhaps that was exactly the impression they wanted other players to have. Any new player would probably feel reassured knowing their guild members would protect them so fiercely, and that k

“By any chance, you have a small mana potion?” Kael asked as he equipped the set he had obtained from the previous monkey boss. He paused when he reached the mask, studied it for a moment, then finally pulled it over his face.Edric struggled to keep himself from laughing when he saw Kael’s eyes staring through the monkey mask.“I have… I thought you might need them… haha…”“…Thanks.”Kael accepted the blue potions and stored them inside his inventory.He was able to prepare himself so calmly because Edric had already created a small sanctuary around them. A silver, transparent shell surrounded their position, and every attack that struck it simply bounced away. None of the monsters nearby were strong enough to leave even a scratch on the protective barrier.There was one problem, however.Edric’s loyalty to Elara meant that the paws of a Leavie Bear would be allowed to pass through his defenses. That kept the challenge from becoming completely meaningless.‘I don’t see anything that

[Call Of The Venomous has synced with your Archery class!] [Call Of The Venomous has unlocked a new feature.] [Venomous Arrow(Legendary)(Active Skill: 100 MP)]: Turn your summon into a tattoo that can be applied to any type of arrow. Once the arrow is marked, it will receive the following bonuses: Seraphyne’s Venom(Common) and higher damage output against snakes. Seraphyne’s summoning restrictions apply to this skill.] [Seraphyne’s Venom(Common): Inflict a noxious venom on enemies upon delivering a critical strike! Damage: 5% of enemy’s maximum health every ten seconds.] [A Wooden Arrow: Wood(The Tutorial Forest’s Tree)(57% Mana)(Can endure and utilize up to 450 STR and DEX stats)] [Seraphyne’s Venom has been able to take over 24% of mana dwelling within your arrow.] [Seraphyne’s Venom damage has been increased to 7%.] Kael’s eyes lit up as he stared at the system messages. Seraphyne had transformed into ink and wrapped herself around the arrow as though she already understood
Chapter 76
After briefly examining the monster’s remaining health through her ink form, she returned to her original body and slithered toward the wound Kael had created.The bear had already turned its attention toward Kael, and its movements caused Seraphyne to bounce around on its face. Yet the little snake possessed an unusual ability to hold onto almost any surface with her scales. No matter how violently the bear moved or how far it ran, she would not simply fall off.Then Seraphyne opened her mouth.Snakes were strange creatures. Their jaws could open far wider than seemed possible, giving them an unsettling appearance when they prepared to bite. Despite her tiny size, the baby snake was no different.Her forked tongue searched for the perfect place to strike.Her timing was almost instinctive.[Seraphyne has killed Leavie Bear Lv. 17]The towering monster collapsed onto its side and died.It had been the only Leavie Bear nearby because Elara and Edric were already tearing through the oth

What Kael was doing was hardly the behavior expected from an Archer. Instead of staying inside the safe zone created by Edric’s tank class, he had stepped into the first offensive line of the monster tide as though he were a melee fighter. It was risky, especially because Archers were just as vulnerable as most other ranged classes when something managed to get close. The monsters in this forest were mostly around Level 20, while Kael’s Level 10 defenses were nowhere near strong enough to withstand a direct attack.Of course, Kael did not actually get close enough to let them attack him.The acrobatics and movement techniques he had developed while fighting monkeys and climbing trees across the tutorial island gave him an advantage in this kind of environment. He could move between the trees with ease, use their trunks and branches to alter his position, and fire from angles that would have been difficult for a normal Archer to reach. Since Seraphyne’s Venom required a critical strike
Chapter 78
Kael was so focused on his own movements and the strange new experience of fighting this way that he failed to notice how surprised Elara and Edric had become.Elara, in particular, had begun blaming herself for telling Kael about the Perrin class. She had once described it as the weakest class, and if she had kept that information to herself, Kael might have tested several other classes before making his choice. He could still have chosen Archery on his own, but she could not stop wondering whether she had pushed him toward a bad decision.She worried about him more than she wanted to admit.Kael, however, was proving that his Archery was not some foolish experiment.He was keeping up with the challenge Elara had thrown at him, moving through the forest without getting overwhelmed. He had even stepped into the first offensive line and was maneuvering around monsters capable of changing their aggression toward him at any moment.Edric’s voice suddenly came through her ears.“Kael’s as
