...A Really Cute One.

As soon as the announcement was released, many players and guilds were scrambling to find any information on this player. Someone capable of clearing a dungeon by themselves at this stage of the game was an anomaly. They weren't willing to be caught off guard by them.

.....

Just outside of the dungeon, Tora and his group were astonished to learn that the player who cleared it was in fact, a solo player. A list appeared on the wall next to the dungeon, it had the party's name along with their clear time. It took Silver just under two hours to complete this dungeon. The teleportation circle had started to light up, as Divine and Tora recovered from their shock.

Silver landed just outside the dungeon, inside of the graveyard circle that she saw earlier. Silver had a shadow mask covering the lower half of her face and a scythe on her back. She saw Tora's group and inwardly frowned, wondering if they were planning to cause trouble.

Tora approached her with a kind demeanor. "Ah, Miss Silver Moon. Congratulations on your completion of this dungeon. Doing it alone is quite the feat. Perhaps you would like to party up with us?"

Silver inwardly scoffed. When she spoke, her voice was distorted, making it difficult to even tell her gender. "I have things I need to do. You'll have to excuse me." Silver walked right past him, and subsequently, walked right into Divine who was came running as soon as she saw Silver. "UNF" Both of them fell to the ground when they collided, although Divine was taller than Silver by a full head.

Silver said nothing. Getting up and dusting off her robe, she dashed out of the cave, as a faint "Hey...wait" called to her, Silver ignored it.

.....

Divine was still sitting on the ground, seemingly pouting. "Hmf, she just ran off."

Tora's eyebrow twitched. "How are you so sure that Silver is a girl? I couldn't tell anything by looking."

Divine puffed her chest out, and wholeheartedly bragged. "I caught a glimpse of her hair when she bumped into me. Silver Moon is definitely a girl... A really cute one at that..." Divine giggled to herself.

Tora slapped her on the back of the head. "Don't talk nonsense. If you offend her, I won't be able to save you, and you'll end up back at the graveyard in Jestal."

Divine rubbed the back of her head. "Meanie. Let's enter the dungeon."

Tora rolled his eyes. "Alright, let's go before other groups start showing up."

.....

Silver had just arrived back in Jestal. She head directly to the Element's Hall to collect her quest reward.

Upon entering, she saw many different players lined up outside of their respective hall. Silver walked directly to the desk where Ahra was sitting. "I have killed the 10 Demonic wolves."

Ahra looked up and smiled at Silver. "Ah, alright. Hand their ears to me and I'll give you your reward."

Silver handed them over and smiled under her mask. She was a fan of straight forward people who get straight to the point. "Thank you, Ahra."

*DING. Quest completed. Culling the herd. Reward: 10 Silver.*

Silver nodded and left after receiving the money. She couldn't find an Auction house inside of this small village, so she decided to log out.

.....

Lauren pulled the helmet off of her head and sat up. She smiled and thought to herself. 'This game is fun. I should make the most of it. Afterall, it is very entertaining.' She ordered a rare steak and laid down on the couch waiting for it.

Twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door. She opened it to see a maid. Her hands trembled as she handed the food to Lauren.

Lauren smiled at her. "Don't worry, I won't bite you or anything. Well, not unless you annoy me." Lauren is indeed a simple girl. She keeps to herself unless someone does something to aggravate her. When that happens, she becomes a much scarier person.

The girl only nodded, barely able to mutter her name. "I-I'm Aelia."

Lauren warmly smiled and nodded "Can you let Leo know that I wish to speak with him?"

The girl nodded and took her leave. Lauren closed the door and ate her meal, waiting for Leo to arrive. An hour later, he knocked on the door before entering.
