"Well. This is interesting," I muttered as I observed one of them coming at me on his lizard faced chicken.

Patiently waiting for him to reach me, I stood still, observing him reaching closer to me.

And as he reached 10 meters away from me. He stopped.

"?" I was confused.

The smile on his face widened a little before it turned into a smirk.

'Something is amiss,' I thought, observing the smile of that bandit. Though all the fog cleared as I saw him taking out a crossbow from his back.

He spoke something in an unknown language before he pointed the crossbow at me.

"F*ck!"

[You Have Died!]

[Game Over!]

[Restarting from Last Save Point!]

"That F*cker!!!" I shouted out loud as I recalled that bastard's smirk.

But one thing was for sure… I can't kill those bandits as for now.

'I need some plans. Something that should work…'

I began thinking as I recalled that I got a Skill when I got my Stats to 10

[You have gained a new Basic Skill: Frenzy!]

[Frenzy(Common)]

[Effects: Allows the user to increase all movements by 10% for 10s

Not wasting my time, I ran again. This time in a different direction than that of the basilisk or those bandits.

Running fast, I used [Frenzy] many times over. Though I could feel it taking a toll on my body.

And after 30 minutes of running…

"You gotta be kidding me!"

My eyes were wide open, I saw a giant eagle standing in front of me.

-Kaawwwwww!!!!

[You Have Died!]

[Game Over!]

[Restarting from Last Save Point!]

"What kind of situation is this?" I asked myself as I put all the Stats in [Constitution] this time.

[You have gained a new Basic Skill: Heal!]

[Heal(Common)]

I smiled a little. Took my first step towards the caravan. Looking in the direction where the bandits were going to come from, I began walking one step at a time.

The bandits came as usual. And once again…

[You Have Died!]

[Game Over!]

[Restarting from Last Save Point!]

[Restarting from Start!]

This time I put my points in [Intelligence]

[You have unlocked a new Basic Skill: Mana Sense!]

'Hmmm? This one seems different,' I thought as it seemed I could gauge the strength of those bandits.

Since I had only 10 MP. I waited for those bandits to come again. And soon enough, they appeared in my sights before I began concentrating.

[Mana Sense!]

I looked at the amount of mana those bandits had. One of them had little mana, while the other 5 had quite an amount of mana. As for the last 2…

-Blergh!!!

I ended up throwing up as I looked at the amount of mana both of them had… monsters!!!

I expected them to have some mana but… this was fucking ridiculous! How am I supposed to survive this shit? There has to be a limit to how absurd one is!

As the bandits appeared near me again, I took a look at the two robed men at the far behind. One of them had a red hoodie with a strange patterned white cloth covering his face. The other simply looked more like an evil cultist than a bandit.

And once again, the man at the front reached closer to me.

[You Have Died!]

[Game Over!]

[Restarting from Last Save Point!]

"Next is [Wisdom], huh?" I thought as I stood up again. My body was still shaking from the monsters that were moving towards me.

[You have gained a new Basic Skill: Active Mana Regeneration!]

[Active Mana Regeneration(Common)!]

[Effects: Allows the Users to regenerate mana at 10MP per minute!

"Just kill me already," I muttered as I moved towards the bandit's direction again.

And nothing out of the ordinary, I was killed before I could make a move.

[You Have Died!]

[Game Over!]

"If this doesn't work… I am really going to go insane," I mumbled as I put all my Attribute Points in [Charm] this time.

[You have gained a new Basic Skill: Haggling!]

[Haggling(Common)!]

[Effects: Allows the user to reduce the price of items by 5%!]

"Hah! Just what I needed," I scoffed sarcastically before I fell on the ground. Just what kind of never ending messed up situation was this?

"This fucking heat…" I groaned as I stood up again. The hot sand was not so comfortable to lie on.

'Now… what to do?' I questioned, as I could feel my hands shaking from fear. Honestly, I wasn't smart enough to know what exactly I should do in this situation…

My eyes then looked at the caravan in front of me. The beautiful blue coloured caravan in this never-ending-impossible-to-escape desert.

"The bandits shouldn't be here for another 10 or 15 minutes," I mumbled as I began walking towards the caravan once again. This time, I just wanted to rest a little. Take a break from dying, you know? I feel like I kinda needed it.

Moving inside the caravan, I then locked the caravan from inside. Sitting on the rather comfortable seat, I finally relaxed a little. Even though my body was physically fine, I still felt kinda refreshed sitting on the lavish seats.

After sitting for a while, I then laid on my back. It wasn't a big caravan, but if I folded my legs a little while keeping one over the other, I could manage to fit in the seat. Using my hands as a pillow, I looked up at the roof while my mind went into thinking mode.

"Let's see. There are monsters everywhere and at the center we have bandits. I have some strength and magic skills but I can only use it one at a time," I wondered if there was a way to run in circles and wait till the 60 minutes duration lapsed? The quest wanted me to survive anyway.

"Maybe I can cross the bandits without them noticing if I maintain my distance enough? I could even reach the nearest town too," I mumble as ideas begin pouring into my mind.

"I would need [Agility]. Maybe [Constitution] too? Or should I invest in [Strength]... ummm… not really. I should rather invest in [Intelligence] and check the strength of the enemy that is there before giving it another try-"

-BOOM!!!!

Though a loud noise woke me up from my thoughts as I fell on the floor of the caravan.

"Who in the name of America-"

-BOOOM!!!!!

Once again a loud voice came from outside the caravan as I crouched down. Slowly moving towards the window, I peaked a little.

-BOOOM!!!

I instinctively stepped back as I saw a fireball attacking me… though it never reached inside the caravan as a strange shield formed around it deflecting the fireball.

-Slash! x ???

On the other hand, a barrage of slashes followed the attack as one of the bandits attacked the caravan. Though… inside the caravan, there was not a single movement. Except for the noise, none of the attacks reached me…

"Oh!" I muttered as I realized that this caravan was rather special…
