Chapter 12 - Skills
[Bladeheart activated the hidden chain Quest Moving Out. Would you like to accept the quest?]
Its a hidden quest, why would I decline it? I quickly accepted the quest without hesitation.
[Moving out] Quest 1 out of 3
Type: Hidden Quest
Info: The tavern owner, Lily is planning to move out in the capital. To prove that you are strong enough to protect her and her family on the road, she needs proof and you need to kill ten Gray Wolves and bring their whole body in two hours.
Duration: 2:00:00
Gray Wolf Body: 0/10
Difficulty: Medium
Recommended level: Levels 4-5
Rewards: ???
As usual, the rewards are question marks. Hidden Quests are hiding the rewards since it is not following the trend of the normal quests. Your performance in the quest will measure the appropriate reward for you. If you did poorly, then you would be paid poorly too and vice versa.
I gobbled out all of the food in the plate and chug down the Lemon Cola.
"I will be back. I won't disappoint you," I said to her.
"Alright then! I will be expecting you!" Lily said.
I did not dare to waste time and run back to the Silent Forest. I have a quest with time limit, that is why I had to quickly do it. Although my speed is not that fast, it didn't take me too long to reach the Silent Forest again. In the entrance of Silent Forest, I opened my stat panel and decided to spent all the AP I got during my leveling.

Since my AGI is the highest stat at the moment, I would spend my AP this time in INT. I need big amount of MP to unleash magic skills faster and increase its power to kill enemies. Since I am fighting enemies with higher levels and high AGI, I need to be fast and decisive in battle. I can't slow myself down.
After a moment of hesitation, I decided to spend 5 AP in INT, 5 AP in STR, and 3 in END to raise my HP and defense.

Since that is the case already, with my AGI and END now both equal in numbers, I decided to waste the remaining free SP in movement skills. Ninja class excels in speed skills. Since I really need them, I had to spend my SP here. I was surprised to see the skill tree of Ninja's 1st Tier consists of 10 skills.
Ninja SP: 0 Free SP: 43
1st Tier
1. Smoke Bomb (Active) - 5 SP
2. Silent Sprint (Active) - 10 SP
3. Poison Kunai (Passive) - 20 SP
4. Kunai Rain (Active) - 20 SP
5. Enhanced Vision (Passive) - 25 SP
6. Breathless Running (Active) - 25 SP
7. Giant Shuriken (Active) - 20 SP
8. Caltrop Bombs (Active) - 15 SP
9. Illusionary Team (Active) - 10 SP
10. Forest of the Bamboo Realm - 50 SP
There are lots of skills for movement in the Ninja's skill tree and many of it enhances your running time more. Of course, there re skills for killing enemies but I have no use for them right now. I picked up the Silent Sprint and Breathless Running leaving me with 8 Free SP. Now I am a poor bloke. But I don't need to cry for it, its not necessary since I can earn SP for later.
Now that all of the tasks is complete, I will need to go and begin the hunt. The two hours is running.
I swing my Versatile Weapon and with a single thought, the weapon changed from a sword into a staff. I plan to raise the SP of Magician this time.
I stepped into the Silent Forest once more and noticed that there are a few players already hunting here. Most are in party. I guess, they have leveled up around level 4 already to hunt here.
I can find the Gray Wolves deeper in the forest where I just died. I also remembered that there is a Wandering Elite in the area. Monsters are divided into Normal and Elite. Elite are monsters similar to the normal ones with slight alteration like their color, size and skills. They give bigger exp than normal so they are hunted by players. I did not meet the Elite version of the gray wolf so I think I might have a chance to meet that guy today.
I just stepped into the territory of the Gray Wolves again when I saw that the Wolves once again gathered into the area, baring their sharp teeth to me, ready to attack.
[Gray Wolves]
Level 5
HP: 5000/5000
Attribute: Beast
I did not back away and stand my ground and goes into a stance to attack. The Gray Wolves started circling around me like their prey. I patiently waited for them to attack because attacking them first might trigger counterattack which is hard to dodge and hard to deflect. It also hurt a lot if you got hit.
I better try to dodge it as soon as possible.
"GRAWR!"
The wolves started to get dangerous and started attacking. I rolled away before raising my staff into the nearest wolf.
"Basic Fireball!"
SU!
A palm sized fireball shot out from the tip of the staff, hitting the nearest wolf.
Bang!
-100
Crap, what a pitiful damage. I dodged once again and gritted my teeth. The amount of expertise needed to avoid the attacks would end me up having a hard time.
