11 - Old man is not a liar

After finishing my job at the church, I enjoyed my lunch that prepared by Mariel before going out and meet Lilith that I already promised to go adventure together. Honestly, I don't think she can't cook, but Mariel prove me wrong. She even pack me a bento, and make me blush as she send me out like a newlywed wife. I can see some of those co-worker smirking to me, but hey, it's not to bad to be treat like this. Even in the game, my face not like the customize one, the heroic or handsome face, as I too lazy to change the generic one. So my face feature is quite average, in other word same as the mobs character or like the NPC peoples. I don't need to be a handsome fellow to play this game right? Said me with regretted feeling.....

After exchange our wave, I walk to my destination with slow pace. In the middle of my way, I watch my surrounding, and like always, it's quite lifeless and not many people or the player around. No wonder, the human character are not that popular. While on the way to the promise place, I pass by the study place of Lilith. Well, the magic school is nearby. I guess she already waiting there but when I arrived, my expectation has been betrayed. About 30 minutes of waiting, finally she arrived with hasten pace.

She looks quite tired, maybe effected by the school period when she learned the magic. Apparently, this game looks quite realistic, you need to attend class and do some practice in order to get skill or ability. Unlike game, the time here is same as the real one. Even though its easy to learn skill, you have to be patient and practice it over and over, like thousand time or more. Luckily, I gain some skill from the Tutorial Forest, which no one ever care about that. Some people may think it's useless, but hey, I don't have to attend the school for my healing skill, as well as my special ability!

"I'm sorry for being late... Just finish register in the guild..." Said Lilith.

"Guild? Eh...." Damn, I been forgotten about that.

"It's something wrong about what I said? We can sell our loots there to get money you know?" She ask me while I making a weird face.

"Hahaha... Can I trust you to sell those loots?"

"You can count on me, Life!" After that, we starting our adventure by walking into the Beginner Jungle.

Unlike the first one, the Tutorial Forest, the monsters here while attack you on sight and cause quite damage. While we walk, Lilith told me about her death, caused by her reckless, hunting the monsters by herself. She finally realize that she need to be prepared and learn skill, well, its obviously you idiot girl. Even though not as cautious as Se*ya, the ready perfectly hero, you should prepare and learn as some Chinese philosopher said, if you well prepared, you can win a thousand war.

The first monster that we encounter is a Gogreen. Well, it's actually like a goblin, while green body. Wait, it's that normal goblins have the green body? I don't care anymore and begun our offensive. I smack the gogreen and Lilith will use her magic to kill them.

"Hammer smash!" When I used that skill, the gogreen died immediately with sound.

"What?! One hit kill! Are you kidding me?!" Lilith surprise that I could kill those monster only with one hit.

"Ah, I'm sorry... I shouldn't kill it" I forgot that we suppose to share our kill, as I want her to level up her skill mastery.

"No, I don't mean that. I shocked that the hammer skill quite powerful, unlike when I pick it at the second life I revive back from my death!"

"Well, it's beginner luck. Let's look for more. This time, you should attack first before I hit them, okay."

"Alright, thanks Life!" Then we continued our skill mastery level grinding.

We found the gogreen nest nearby, and started our massacre. Lilith fire her Ice Arrow Magic, while I hitting those monsters with my hammer. That's remind me about one of the character in Pirate theme anime, whom has a long nose and like to lie. Like that character, I also use a hammer to defeat my enemies by hitting them.

"Us*ppu hammeru!" I tried to copy those character skill, but really, I need to stop fooling around. The gogreen quantities are more that I expected, so I need to focus in fighting them. My supportive member, Lilith have to take some break before spamming her ice arrow magic back, so I need to act as a tank and vanguard in order to stop them attacking Lilith.

After a few hours of fighting, we manage to annihilate a gogreen nest and finally end our fight. Lilith feel sorry to me as the most monster here killed by me alone and she couldn't the support that she suppose to do. I just brush it out but she insist to repay me by dismantle our loots by herself. We need to collect the monster core and sell it to the guild. Surprisingly, our kill hit 4 digits, about near a thousand and half. Lilith quite skill doing the dismantling the core from the corpse.

"Wow, it's quite lot of it. I need about half hour to finish it..." Lilith said while a fresh smile. Well, I look at her, with her bloody hand while holding the knife, make me think that she is one of psycho murderer that statified after killing her victim. We does kill the gogreen for God sake.

"Thanks for your good work." I said it with polite without realizing it. By the way, the core place on the middle of the body, as the monster doesn't have heart like human or humanoids tribe. So, it quite a sight when she pulled the core from those bodies. I blamed those yandere character in the anime that I watch before. She open the other heroin character stomach and asking her that she doesn't find anything inside it.

"Want to hunt for some more?" She asked sweetly but those actions ruined my mood.

"Nah, let's go back for now. We need to exchange those loots so we can brought some new equipment and tools for the longer-term of hunting. You don't want to die like a dog right..."

"You right. Let's us wrapped up and get ready for next adventure tommorow. I will sell those core for our war fund!" She quite excited after a successful hunting.

"Wait, let me clean you up. You quite messy with blood and stuff." I using my daily magic to clean her. She quite shocked with my magic.

"How you do that?!"

"By my magic. I got them in the Tutorial Forest while fighting those mobs..."

"..... Ah, I feel regretted not to train myself like you on the forest. It's useless to cry over the spilled milk right?"

"Yeah. That's why you should continued the school until you learned all the ice magic that you want."

"Sure..."

"Oh, by the way, I will not living in the inn that you recommended anymore..."

"Why?!" She shocked with my news, but I explained her the truth and the event that I been through in earlier time. She quite upset, but eventually accepting the fact that I will living in the church quarters. She also surprise to hear that I now becoming an apprentice healer, that recognize by the church itself.

Our adventure ended up early, so after I separate from her, I walk down to the business district. While having a pleasure moment, I step stopped after I heard the hitting sound from nearby. I walk near to the source and found that there are a blacksmith workshop that located in the suburban area. While looking on the place, I decide not to enter it, but someday, I want to learn the smiting thing. Actually, I pick the hammer because I want to be a blacksmith, not a fighter or warrior. I actually hate fighting but my grinding days doesn't feel bad.

When I back to the church, Mariel greet me with a beautiful smile and we ate dinner together again. Hey, don't look at me like that, my co-workers. I never have this chance in real life, so excuse me for this wonderful treatment.

I entered my bedroom and sleep early, so I can log out into the real world. In that world, after some exercise, finally I get some real sleep.
