Apple Tree Inn

Harpen city consists of 4 entrance gates with the center of the city being the only road that leads to the four entrances.

In the middle of the city there is a circular fountain that continues pouring the water even when night falls.

The neatly arranged buildings form a wide circle in the city center, making it a very busy place at daytime.

Night has fallen, the streets are still full of people, even though it is not as busy as the time of day, the shops are still open with customers coming and going.

On the first day of opening the WoW, inn was a place that many players were looking for because people didn't want to sleep outside on the first day.

An inn with 2 floors named 'Apple tree' with the symbol of an apple tree is located at the east gate, this inn has a restaurant below and rooms above.

The restaurant room has round tables with backrest that are neatly arranged from the counter to the entrance, the place is filled with players and only a few residents are eating and drinking. the sound of chatter, laughter, and sometimes the sound of shouting can be heard filling the room followed by the footsteps of the servant who pacing back and forth making the room a very noisy place.

The atmosphere is alive like a pile of wood burning by fire in a cold dark room that emits light and gives a feeling of warmth.

Kai sat alone quietly enjoying his meal while thinking about the distribution of stat points. The stat points per level up are 10 with 5 points automatically and only leaving 5 points free. Because kai's are a swordsman then his points are automatically added to strength and vitality stats. The swordsman's automatic points are 3 STR and 2 VIT.

Kai also decided his point at 2 agilty and 3 strength because Kai's fighting style is agility so agility is important to him, for vitality Kai plans to increase it through training and auto points. Kai continued to enjoy his meal, because today he only eats the bread given from the system which tastes bland and a little hard.

TUK

A door was open and a group of three members entered the inn with one man and two girls, the group looked around the room and saw Kai sitting alone then came over to him.

The two women walking in front with the men behind, the two women who walked in front had quite a beautiful face with slim body and long black hair, they wore beginner clothes like other players, in contrast to men, women's beginner clothes had long sleeves and trousers but they had the same color.

They have asian faces with brown skin. In WoW you can't change your appearance and you can't see the name over their head. Therefore you can only find out the name by finding out yourself except at certain times when the system sends you notification.

Approaching kai's, the mans in the group widened his eyes in surprise and then started to act restlessly and wanted to said something, but before he could speak, the woman next to him spoke first.

"Excuse me can you let us join your table?" each table has four chairs and the entire table room is full and only kai's table is empty, so it's only natural for them to asking.

"Please," Kai said, glancing at them then continued eating.

"Thank you" said the girl, smiling.

They also sat down with the girls sitting close to each other and the men sitting to their left. they started ordering food and started talking to each other except the man who sat restlessly and and only nodded at the woman's question.

"Um ... is this your first VR game?" asked the girl who spoke first to Kai.

"No, I had played fantasy before"

" Really ? this is our first time playing vr game except for the guy beside you, he also played fantasy before. Oh yeah, were you a famous player in fantasy before?" asked the girl with a sweet smile.

The woman knew the boy beside her was ordinary man with ordinary face, she thought with a pretty girl like her asking that the man might start having big mouths and it would allow them to sit comfortably without feeling awkward while eating.

"Not really, I'm just an ordinary player in the small guild" Kai replied smiling.

"Ohh .. I think it's pretty good at least you have experience unlike us who are still beginners hehe .." The woman chuckled, not really care.

Kai just smiled at the words of the woman who spoke politely to him because it was a natural thing. There are some people who will not allow anyone else to sit at their table at mealtime because it will be annoying. Therefore, the woman speaks politely to Kai so as not to disturb him, even though Kai's answer is casual and doesn't match her prediction, she doesn't care because everyone has different characteristics.

Kai continued eating and when it was finished, Kai left his table and climbed the stairs to go to his room. kai had been sitting at the table for a long time and felt like lying down to relieve his fatigue.

Seeing Kai leave his desk and climb on top, the man sighed in relief.

"Hey why do you feel relieved like that? You've been acting weird before, what makes you nervous?" asked the second woman who had shorter hair and slightly white skin than the first.

When it was time to eat the second woman had noticed the boy and she felt confused by her friend who was restless all the time.

The man saw the woman who asked him then looked at the stairs and saw Kai not coming back down he said.

"You guys are still beginners so you don't know, I've been playing fantasy for 7 years so I know famous players and guilds in fantasy. You saw that man, right? He looks just like a normal guy, right?"

The two girls nodded because that was how they looked when there was no aura or charisma that made him stand out.

"Even though he looks ordinary he is a famous player in fantasy, even the small guild he is referring to is famous"

"What ? Really ? But he looks very ordinary like any other normal man that you can find on the streets "

"But that's the reality in fantasy, there are some people who look ordinary on the outside but when fighting they look very different," said the man seriously then continued his words.

"In fantasy there are many famous players and they are all in the hall of fame but even so there are also players who are famous more than the players in the hall of fame, they are strong people who don't want to be known. but they cannot hiding their talent and that's how they come to limelight. That man is one of them"

"So we just met a celebrity, right?"

"You could say that, but this time we're lucky"

"Lucky?" asked the second woman, confused.

"Yes .., I know that man because of that I feel restless, that man is a member of a guild full of crazy people who like to make chaos everywhere. we are lucky that we don't get into trouble"

"Guild of madmen?" asked the first girl, confused.

"Yes" the man nodded and continued "in fantasy there are many large guilds but the best ones are top 10 guild and behind them are big guilds who stays at the top 20 in the world. but there are also small guilds that are famous like big guilds"

"Eh?" The two women stared at each other in confusion because this was their first time playing a vr game, doesn't mean they have no experience in the game. according to them a well-known large guild is natural, but a small guild that famous like a large guild is impossible. because of the large difference in strength, resource and members, big guild can make the small guild surennder easily. and even if it is famous it may be among the small ones not among the big ones.

Seeing the woman confused face, the man's continue.

"I know what you are thinking because in fantasy there are only 5 small guilds that stand out. They are a guild with Elite as their member and their member also have a name in the hall of fame or a reputation that exceeds the players in the Hall of fame. because they are a small guild that stands out among the large guilds, players in fantasy named them A Lone Wolf In The Forest "

"A Lone Wolf In The Forest? What does that mean?" asked the two women with a curious face.

The man smiled and explained.

"Every little guild is like a lone wolf. They are strong, fierce and dangerous but they cannot ruling the forest which is a place where many wild beasts live in groups"

"I see, but I think Lone wolf is a cool name" replied the women.

"The nickname also seems to have other meanings such as praise and insult" said the woman who sat beside the man.

"It is true, because the nickname shows proof that they are strong because they can survive alone in the forest but at the same time the nickname also tells them that they are weak and can only survive but cannot ruling the forest" said the man.

"Exactly" said the woman who was beside the man.

"Let's finish our meal, before asking about the empty room, if full we have to find another inn."

"Ok" answered the two women simultaneously.

The night starts to get late showing the true color of the sky, silence comes to the Harpen city which is illuminated by the lights, keeping away the darkness of the night.
