Rattling Bones

While Kaito was walking towards the south gate he wondered what the scoreboard looked like right now, he was sure that the pro players had woken up earlier than him.

The window appeared before him-

☉〚Scoreboard: levels : All Regions〛☉

〚1.DragonPrince - Level 2〛

〚2.FireHerald- Level 2〛

〚3.GoatsGoats - Level 2〛

〚4.DragonBilly - Level 2〛

〚5.HeroPaladin - Level 2〛

〚6.BOOMHAHAHAHA - Level 2〛

〚7.GodGeralt - Level 2〛

〚8.FireDavid - Level 2〛

〚9GodHades. - Level 2〛

〚10.BOOMAppleJack - Level 2〛

〚You are currently rank number: 13, on the scoreboard〛

He wasn't surprised that he had fallen down the ranks, but he wondered about the guy that used to be rank 3 that now was rank 9; GodHades.

'I Wonder if WarriorDude is online' Kaito thought as window of messages appeared before him, he sent away a message

〈Insane: Good morning〉

'Maybe he isn't online just yet' Kaito continued walking towards the forest but slowed down as he received a message

〈WarriorDude: Good morning bro! how are you?! had a good sleep? i had a great sleep man, slept like a stone!〉

Kaito gave a wry smile, WarriorDude really had some energy.

〈Insane: I'm good, thank for asking. Do you know what happened to GodHades? the guy that was rank 3 yesterday, wasn't he some hardcore pro player? 〉

〈WarriorDude: Oh you haven't heard? he was in the middle of the forest with his clan when night fell so they didn't stand a chance to escape. He died.〉

〈Insane: Is there any penalty for dying in the game?〉

〈WarriorDude: Dude you don't know? you haven't read up on the game very much huh? Luckily you got me!〉

〈WarriorDude: When you die, you lose all experience to next level, example: if you're level 1 and have 100 experience, and then die you go down to level 1, and 0 experience.〉

〈Insane: Damn, that can be really bad〉

〈WarriorDude: That's not all mate, if you die you're forcefully logged out of the game for 8 hours.it's really devastating for a pro player. GodHades has been grinding like crazy this morning to get back up on the ranking scoreboard.〉

〈Insane: Okay, that's, yeah that doesn't sound nice, better be careful not to die then.〉

〈WarriorDude: Yeah man, dying is real bad business in this game, not sure why the Devs made it that way.〉

Kaito had already walked fairly deep into the forest as he had this conversation with WarriorDude and was now slowing down, ready to summon his skeletons

〈Insane: Well, i gotta go〉

〈WarriorDude: Yeah man, me too, got a quest from some blacksmith couple in the town, cya later!〉

Kaito closed the window full of messages and looked around him, he was pretty close to where he had found the clearing the day before.

Purple mist started rising from his hands, swirling around him accompanied by shards of bones, There was a dark glow around him and he raised his hand.

Ability: Raise undead used! Mana: 115 > 90〉

〚Insane's Undead Lvl.2 HP: 80/80〛

Kaito snapped his fingers and summoned another undead being

Ability: Raise undead used! Mana: 90 > 65〉

〚Insane's Undead Lvl.2 HP: 80/80〛

The two skeletons creaked as they lazily stood in front of Kaito, looking at him.

Kaito thought about the weapons he now could summon and he saw how a dagger appeared out of thin air in one of the hands of each skeleton.

'This is gonna be interesting to see' Kaito thought as he walked deeper into the forest, his skeletons closely following.

It didn't take long until they found their first pray; a lone wolf roaming around

〚Young Wolf Lvl.3 HP: 150/150〛

Kaito started sneaking, and so did his skeletons.

It seems like they were too late, as the wolf had started to growl, it knew that it wasn't alone anymore and it was ready for an ambush.

The skeletons sneakily split up from Kaito and moved around in the bushes to get into position. The wolf felt that something was amiss and snarled.

Suddenly a skeleton showed itself and the wolf charged towards it, focusing every muscle onto the battle, with eyes on the price.

The wolf howled in pain as it was struck from the side by a bone dagger being dragged along it's body.

-27!

The wolf turned around swiftly only to see the faint shape of a skeleton running into the bushes, that's when it felt another sharp pain from it's other side.

-32!

And so the bullying had begun, the skeletons weaved in and out of the bushes, damaging the wolf at it's blind spot whenever they could.

Kaito who was controlling the whole thing was smiling, these daggers really changed the battle for him and his skeletons.

It didn't take long before the wolf slumped down, defeated.

〈Killed Young Wolf Lvl.3!〉

〈acquired 1 Wolf pelt〉

〈acquired 2 Wolf meat〉

〈Gained 20 Experience!〉

Kaito walked out from behind a tree and up to the Wolf's corpse that was slowly withering away into light particles, he looked at his own level.

Level: 2 Experience: 111/600

'Well, let's see how far we come today' He thought as his skeletons appeared from the bushes and stood beside him.

Kaito's group soon reached the clearing, there was no deer corpse left.

'Well that's to be expected, i guess we gotta hunt wolfs on our own now' Kaito thought as he and his skeletons spread out to hunt prey.

It wasn't as efficient as yesterday, but the wolfs they found they made quick work of.

Kaito moved deeper and deeper into the forest, killing wolfs along the way.

He stopped and looked around him, this part of the forest didn't look as friendly as the beginning of the forest did.

The trees were more dense in this area and there was little sunlight that could escape through the branches.

The surrounding had grown quiet. there were no more chirping of birds, no sounds of insects, it was quite eerie.

Kaito was slowly making his way forward, he felt like there might be more dangerous creatures here.

He stopped, holding his skeletons completely still.

He had seen movement, and now he saw the being step out of the tree's shadow, sniffing the air, looking for pray.

〚Adult Wolf Lvl.5 HP: 350/350〛
