Self-righteous snatch

After we made our deal I escorted girls back to the village, they have reached level 4 by grinding EXP on skeletons in cave and because I was in their party and also defeated the necromancer I managed to level up to level 5 barely.

After escorting them I went on my way to find my next goal but as I was walking I remembered I haven't even checked my class spells I gained from my new classes so I opened up my spellbook to check them out.

How stupid of me, I had stun skill and I wasted my effort throwing stones at necromancer… Next time I must check my spellbook first unless I want to look like a complete fool. I should check if there were any changes to my stats recently.

Okay this is good enough for now, at least I have lead in levels compared to average players, but top players might be close to me, or even higher if they have sufficient help from their guilds and if they are lucky enough to secure some good spots. So with my level being good enough my next problem would be my stats but those are higher than any other player currently so that's also not a problem.

Those mean two problem less to think about, my only combat related problem now would be that I don't have any weapon, I can't count on my kicks for too long because soon enough I won't be able to pierce through my enemies armor. So my number one problem right now is lack of weapons, but I already have an idea for that, but before that I have to finish some minor things related to my profession.

My next destination is somewhat remote, it will take me some time to get to there and I won't be able to reach it today, that's why I'm not in a hurry so I'm just casually walking there since I'm in no rush. I mean this place is truly wonderfully done piece of work; I have to honestly admit that it looks far more beautiful to me than even reality so I just want to enjoy it. But sure enough soon my mood was ruined by sound of distant combat, come on I just wanted a relaxing walk, I don't even know why is someone here, it's too far from the village so I thought no one would bother coming here.

But of course leaving my grumbling aside my curiosity is piqued and I turn to direction of the sound of combat, might see something fun there at least, if not I can just rob those pitiful souls who dared disturb my relaxation.

As I neared the sound I climbed up tree to have better vision of my surroundings, some 50 or 60 meters in front there is a group of players fighting a big minotaur, looks like that minotaur has some skill considering it is still alive while being surrounded by dozen of players. It's probably a rare monster at least, I started drooling at the thoughts of what it might drop.

'Hmm these guys disturbed my relaxation so I have the rights of robbing them right? That doesn't make me an evil person, yeah they deserved it, how dare they disturb my peace.' As I thought about it an evil smirk once again formed on my face, but seriously I'm not evil, they disturbed me first, it's their fault…

As I sat on the top of a tree I started forming the plan in my head while their fight progressed, should I snatch it all or just snatch whatever drops from this big cow, maybe I should leave something for those guys, they did make it easy for me and found a rare monster for me. Well I'll see, it depends on them, if they aren't skilled enough there is no need to leave them anything, someone else will just come and snatch it later from them, this is a cruel world and I'm actually helping them, yeah I'm teaching them right? They should be grateful to me as I decided to teach them for such a pitiful price of drop of that big cow.
