I'm very immature in the inside, and I have many opinions in my head.

On the way to the Grey Forest, Lydro is taking his time to practice and perform silent steps, shadow steps, and phantom steps to make the system acknowledges that he learned these simple movements techniques.
From what he knows, you need to perform each technique a hundred times in an hour.
Because of Lydro's endurance is low, he can only use 10 techniques every minute.
While doing these techniques, he's been moving around and found the cave in Grey Forest. And at the entrance of the cave, he saw the Frenzied Horned Rabbit!
Lydro is still halfway through getting his techniques. So he's thinking using and practice the techniques in the battle with Frenzied Horned Rabbit.
First thing first, he observed the Frenzied Horned Rabbit, what's it doing and what level is it.
'Inspect,'
[ Frenzied Horned Rabbit (Elite Monster)
Level 5
HP: 750 ]
'Lucky! Looks like a low-levelled Frenzied Horned Rabbit and from its movements, it looks like it's guarding the cave!'
The Frenzied Horned Rabbits are bigger than any horned rabbit. They always looked angry or annoyed. And from what Lydro knows, Frenzied Horned Rabbits are an experiment of scientists in Wodah's Kingdom.
A hundred years ago in Wodah's kingdom in Gemini Continent, the scientists created a liquid that made horned rabbits smarter and stronger.
The scientists got excited and let most horned rabbits drink the liquid. But they didn't know that these horned rabbits get more intelligent, uncontrollable and having their bloodlust to go up.
After a month, the rabbits are getting out of control. They are becoming more ferocious, most of them are yearning for more liquids, the scientists didn't want to give them anymore, so the rabbits went havoc and some stole liquids and run away.
The scientists didn't know what to do, so they confined some of them and killed the others. But a month later, something happened, and the rabbits managed to get out.
They stole the liquids and went rampage. They killed anyone they see!
Even babies, dogs, cats, turtles, and even you!
A whole town was even destroyed because of these Frenzied Horned Rabbits!
They were hunted by people, despised by people and no people in Wodah's kingdom has any rabbits as their pet.
Of course, all that happened were all conspiracies of an evil group. This is known to everyone in Wohah's kingdom, but they still prohibited anyone to have a rabbit as a pet. Also, every time you killed a Frenzied Horned Rabbit, your fame in Wodah's kingdom will rise.
Even though the Frenzied Horned Rabbits are hunted since a hundred years ago, the Frenzied Horned Rabbits are still Intelligent though.
They went hiding everywhere. Now, over a dozen kingdom has a Frenzied Horned Rabbit as a monster.

This Frenzied Horned Rabbit is just walking around and observing the surroundings.
There's nothing suspicious around so Lydro prepared his spells and attacked the rabbit from behind.
Lydro has a passive skill 'Conceal Presence' and with his 'silent steps' technique, he quickly ambushed the rabbit with his new daggers.
Right in the middle of his hole!
Ambush! Critical Hit! -80 HP!
[ You have inflicted your target a poison effect to the target! The target will lose 3 HP per second for 10 seconds. ]
It's an effect of his skill 'Poison'!
[ Poison (Active Skill)
Level: 1
Coat the user's weapon with poison, the target will be poisoned. All physical damage against targets will have a Poisoned effect.
Duration: 10 secs
Cooldown: 1 minute ]

Before the rabbit reacts, there are already 20 compressed magic bullets hit him!
Then, 20 notice damages ate almost half of HP of Frenzied Horned Rabbit.
[ Frenzied Horned Rabbit HP: 400/750 ]
'As expected, the defense of this rabbit is high!'
Although the rabbit is hurt, the rabbit used his skill 'Leap' and jump 10 meters!
Lydro is not surprised.
'That's why rabbits are a pain in the ass!'
The rabbit didn't jump to run, he jumped to slam Lydro. He knew this human is weak because of his low damages.
The Frenzied Horned Rabbit raised his two hands with claws and used his skill, 'Swift Bash'!
Lydro is prepared, he used his technique 'Advanced Mana Manipulation' and created 4 magic bullets and attacked swiftly the rabbit's two 'pee-pee' and hidden testicles! (2)
The rabbit got surprised, suffered from pain and lost his focus and balance. He screamed from pain and he turned redder.
The rabbit stopped his attacks and fell miserably.
Although Lydro is delighted, from the expression of the rabbit, his expression got ugly.
The Frenzied Horned Rabbit went berserk!
[ System Notice: The Frenzied Horned Rabbit went berserk. His attack power and agility doubled. He'll lose 10 HP per second. He'll kill you no matter what! ]
[ Frenzied Horned Rabbit -Berserk-
HP: 240/750 ]
Before the rabbit gets up, Lydro attacked him with magic bullets and stab the rabbit with his two swift daggers!
Lydro also used his 'barrier' skill as a precaution.
'I need to kill this rabbit as soon as possible!'
But in an instant, the aura of the rabbit instantly become more intense and fiercer.
'Shit!'
Lydro jumped backwards and closed his eyes and controlled the mana in the surroundings.
The wind in the surroundings got violent and gusty.
He created 30 magic bullets and compressed it into 6 big magic bullets and compressed it again into two large mana balls.
Mana ball is the upgraded skill of magic bullets. That means it's a tier higher skill than magic bullets.
At this time, the rabbit is crouching, raising its front paws, and attacked Lydro.
Lydro used phantom steps and disappeared with his two large magic mana bullets.
Then, the two large magic mana bullets appeared in the back of the rabbit.
The rabbit didn't manage to react.
His hole got penetrated instantly, two large mana bullets went dipper and exploded at the stomach of the Frenzied Horned Rabbit!
Then, a system notice came:
[ Congratulations, you have killed solo an elite monster, Frenzied Horned Rabbit. Level difference of 3. EXP will get increased by 3 times. Obtained 1500 EXP! ]
[ Do you want to collect the remaining of the monster you killed? Yes or No ]
[ Reminder! If you say 'No', then the remaining of the Frenzied Horned Rabbit will disappear and it will transform directly into the loot. ]
Lydro replied to the system saying 'Yes' and professionally cut the hides and took the horn, blood, hides, eyes, and the claws of the Frenzied Horned Rabbit.
The quality of the hide is B-rank as only the bottom of the rabbit was obstructed. There's not much meat as most meats exploded or eroded, but he still got the meat and its C-rank meat.
The drops are a skill 'Swift Bash', a sword for swordsman and 80 copper coins.
Swift Bash is an intermediate skill for warriors, so he can't use it. But the skill is rare and the average price is 1 gold.
The sword is a low-tier sword and can be sold for 1 silver.
Lydro also leveled up, he's level 3 now.
[ Status:

Now, his AGI is 22, he's as fast as level 6 monsters. And if he included his phantom steps, he'll be as fast as level 9 monsters.
Then, Lydro entered the mouth of the cave.
From what he knows, this cave is as big as a small town. It's the nest of rock goblins and grey bats. There are also two known chests that can be found here.
The cave is misty, Lydro can't see very well and can only see three meters around him. The air is damp and musty.
After a while walking inside, Lydro finally found a group of rock goblins. The rock goblins have high strength and defense, but they have very low agility!
Although the rock goblins are level 7-8, they are easier to kill than Frenzied Horned Rabbit.
He used his compressed magic bullets and attacked at their bottoms, Lydro also attacked with his 'Poisoned' two daggers at their necks swiftly.
When a rock goblin punched him, he used his barrier skill first. Although he received few damages, with his high defense it's almost nothing.
After a minute, he killed the four rock goblins and got some Exp's and their meat and eyes. They also dropped 2 bronze coins and a cloth armor for cursemancers.
He wandered the cave for fifteen minutes and killed 10 rock goblins, but he only got 5 bronze coins and two pieces of equipment for cursemancers.
Also, the system acknowledged the technique phantom steps as his techniques.
[ You have been doing Phantom Steps for over a hundred times for this past hour. ]
[ You have successfully executed and learned a movement technique, 'Phantom Steps'! ]
As for silent steps and shadow steps, he still needs to perform another 10 times for both of them.
[ You are the first player to have learned 'Phantom Steps' one of the Famed Assassin's Basic Movement Techniques! You have been rewarded a hundred reputation points to the Shadow Guild and a recommendation letter to join the Shadow Guild! ]
'Oh! That's surprising and unexpected. I was planning to take the special quest that will make me a member of Shadow Guild, but with this recommendation letter, I'll just take a test to join the Guild!'
The headquarters of Shadow Guild is in the capital city of Wodah's Kingdom! So, it's a must for Lydro to join the Shadow Kingdom.
Not wasting any more time, he continued to search for the corpse of Elie's father.
Soon, he finally saw the corpse of Elie's father.
There, in the small corner of a steep passage. The corpse has glasses, necklaces, a robe of a magician and a pouch containing 5 golds!
Lydro put the corpse in his inventory without touching his possessions.
In this game, you can rob, steal and kill. But this quest is actually to test a player's greed!
If you pass the corpse to Elie without his father possessions, or even if you only stole one gold, you'll be cursed by Elie's father, your reputation in your kingdom will go down and your rewards will only be Exp.
As for the duration of the quest, it will be reduced to one hour once you see the corpse. And if you gave nothing to Elie within an hour, the corpse and his belongings will disappear, your reputation in your kingdom will go down and you'll be cursed too.
But if you give the corpse with his belongings to Elie, your reputation in your kingdom will go up, you'll get 5 gold, and rare skill of your class!
This quest is available for every town, it's always a girl with a black dress who'll give the quest but they have all different names and faces. This quest was only been known after a year of EoVT.
After finding the corpse, Lydro decided to go back to the town and if he's lucky to find the Mutated Horned Rabbit on the way, he'll kill it.
Just as he's thinking about the Mutated Horned Rabbit, he saw it in the center of the cave, resting!
Beside the Mutated Horned Rabbit, there's a chest too!
