Fighting, and gaining Loot and XP

Feeling satisfied with the new skills, Ares closed them out and once again started towards the first pin on his map. It was the location of the bears and only a mile or so away. seeing at it was the perfect chance for him to test out the wind boost skill he just created, he activated it. He instantly felt his body become lighter as his agility shot up to 10.5 and he felt the wind coursing through him. He felt as if he became closer with the wind. He took off running at an incredible rate for a level 0 person. if any other player saw this, their mouth would have dropped open in shock and thoughts of him cheating would have crossed their minds. Of course, he wasn't. He managed to cover over a quarter mile before the skill wore off.

"With this, doing quests will be even faster." Ares thought

He checked the skills XP and it increased by 1. He had to use the skill 99 more times for it to level up to level 2. At that time, the effects of the skill will increase. He continued onwards towards the bears location. every time the skill finished it's cool down period he would use it. By the time he got there, he used it an additional 3 times. the XP stood at 4/100. he approached the bears while pulled up the stats of the bears.

Wild Bear: Level 2

HP: 100

Claw: Deal 100% physical attack and has a 10% chance to cause bleeding, 5% physical attack over 5 seconds.

There were about 6 of them, close together, each one no further than 3 feet from another. They were leisurely strolling around and eating berries. he stopped when he was about 30 feet from the group. He activated stealth, and cast chain lightning. he decided to cast a crowd control skill to stun them as well as cause damage to all of them so he used that while in stealth. The stealth increased the damage by 10% so the lightning caused 38 points of damage minus their defense. The bolt of lightning seemed to teleport as it instantly struck the closest bear. It gave off a pained roar, as the lightning worked as intended and chained to the other 5. They, like the first roared in pain and they all took 33 points of damage. Their defense of reduced the damage. It didn't matter as they were all paralyzed for the next second. As Ares attacked, his stealth was lost immediately and went into cool down. Immediately after casting chain lightning, he casted fiery arrow and launched it at the first bear that was struck by the lightning. It wasn't as fast as the lightning, but it traveled quickly and hit it before the stun wore off. The bear died instantly as it was hit again. A notification popped up saying he had earned 10 XP and a bear hide.

Right after the bear died, Ares started to cast another arrow and the other bears paralysis wore off. Ares fired the second arrow and a second bear was hit and killed earning him another 10 XP and b ear hide. The bears noticed him that time and let out roars and chased after him. however they were so slow. Ares managed to kill another 2 before they crossed half the distance. Needless to say, Ares killed the last ones easily without them getting even close. It was a pretty good start. he earned an easy 60 XP and was 60% of the way from completing this quest. he also earned +6 XP in arrow, +1 in stealth and chained lightning.

Ares searched the surrounding area for more bears to finish up the quest and move on to killing boars. He found them not far away and there were 5 of them. He waited until his cooldowns on chain lightning and stealth were over and headed towards them. when he was within 50 feet of them, he employed the same strategy. He activated stealth, cast chain lightning, and spammed fiery arrow as fast as allowed. With the second den of bears destroyed, the quest was completed and waiting to be turned in. he earned another 50 XP, and gained even more proficiency in his skills. Time to hunt some boars. He started in their direction, which was a mile in the north west direction.

He had to use Wind boost 4 times to arrive at the target location. Upon arrival, he inspected the stats of the boars.

Boar Level 2

HP: 150

Charge: Charge at the enemy dealing 75% physical attack and causing them to be knocked down.

Seeing but not caring that there were a whole group that amassed to a number of 12 there, he employed the same tactic again. Stealth, Chain lightning, fire arrow. the defense of the boar was a bit lower than the bear, so the lightning caused 35 damage to all of them. It took another two arrows to finish off each of them. Once the first went down, the stun of them wore off. By the time the second one fell, they found him and ran towards him, clearly pissed off by the fact that this human killed two of them. They were just as slow as the bear, but despite this, there were more, and he had to cast two arrows to kill one. So he had to run while casting the arrows. while running he used wind boost as well, not forgetting to gain more XP in that as well. As you could imagine, the boars were all massacred without even touching him. Each boar provided him with 10 more XP as well as a tooth for the quest. all in all he earned another 120 XP, 10 teeth, +24 XP in fiery arrow, +1 in wind boost, +1 in stealth, and +1 in chain lightning. He also completed the second quest.

He continued on. 3 wind boosts later he arrived at the wolves location. This quest was a bit higher in difficulty, but it did not matter to Ares. When he arrived, he looked at the situation. Wolves were known in this to travel in packs that ranged from 10 to 15, with an alpha leading them. In this pack there were 10 with the alpha. They were also known for their good agility and attack power from their bites and claws. Ares looked until he found the Alpha. It was quick as it was pretty easy to spot. It had a purple name and it was bigger than the rest with a darker color fur and bigger fangs.

Alpha Wolf Level: 4

HP: 350

Ferocious Bite: Bite that deals 100% physical attack and 50% chance to cause bleeding, dealing 10% physical attack over 10 sec.

Ferocious Swipe: attack with claws dealing 50 % attack and causing knockback and stun for 2 seconds.

Using the same strategy, Ares attacked, targeting the Alpha first. It had a higher defense, at 10 so he inflected a bit less damage. By the time the wolves were out of their stun, Ares caused only 88 points of damage to the boss. When they found him and started their charge, he caused another 60 damage bringing it down to 202. The other wolves HP were only at 200 HP. The wolves were quicker, had a higher defense, and more HP so this fight was going to take longer than the earlier fights. Realizing that they were quicker, there were more of them, and the fact that the boss had way more HP, Ares decided to target the other wolves first before he got surrounded from all sides. He activated his wind boost and ran in the opposite direction while firing arrows towards the basic wolves. with the boost in agility, he was a bit faster than them. he was able to widen the gap and take down 2 of them within 5 seconds and another 3 in the last 5. So now, there were 4 basic wolves and the alpha. Seeing as 5 of his pack were killed in front of him, the alpha got pissed. He charged with even more ferocity. Ares continued to play run and hit with them. the wolves were a bit faster than him so they were slowly catching up, but before they could catch up the rest of the basic wolves were killed, leaving the alpha. It was pissed. It attacked, as it was close enough now to cast its own skills. It used the swipe skill but Ares dodged back while kicking its leg dealing 46 more damage. the wolf then sprang forward, seeing its attack failed and was counter attacked. It used bite this time, but Ares was again dodged and punched its snout knocking it back a feet. He followed up with an arrow. dealing another 46 and 60 damage respectfully.

Its HP was now under 100 and it was on its last leg. The fight ended a few minutes later with Ares dodging its attacks and counter attacking with punches and kicks. His rewards for the fight and destruction of the wolves:

+400 XP

Quest 3 completion

+35 XP to Fiery arrow

+1 XP to wind boost

+1 XP to stealth

+1 XP to Lightning Chain

The alpha also dropped a piece of equipment. It was a pair of level 1 rare boots that provided a -1 second to cast time, and -1 cooldown for skills. He immediately equipped this. With it, he could cast fiery arrow continuously with out stop. He could fire off arrows as fast as an automatic rifle. He smiled knowing his killing speed just became a whole lot faster.
