Biggest Fan

Kaito looked at the bustling city in front of him, thinking about what to do first.

He thought back to the players he saved from the wolfs, they had apparently known who Kaito was, even though he had his name hidden.

He opened up the scoreboard to look.

☉〚Scoreboard: levels : All Regions〛☉

〚2.DragonPrince - Level 3〛

〚3.FireHerald - Level 3〛

〚9GodGeralt. - Level 2〛

〚10.FireDavid - Level 2〛

〚You are currently rank number: 1, on the scoreboard〛

'Perhaps i'm the only one who started fighting the lvl.5 adult wolfs' Kaito thought.

Kaito rubbed the back of his head, he kinda liked being at the top of the scoreboard, it would be quite the challenge to stay there, and he liked challenges.

But all the attention made him feel a bit awkward.

He shrugged, 'guess i'll just have to deal with it'

He closed down the scoreboard and started walking towards the town square.

Kaito wanted to check inside of the magic shop to see if Nyx sold any skill books, but to buy books he needed money. He looked at his currency-

〈Currency: 4 Silver 15 Copper〉

He would probably need more, he closed his inventory and looked around at the town square for a place to sit down and sell some of the wolf meat he had gathered.

That's when Kaito spotted a player running towards him, the player was quite far away but he could see them making a B-line for him.

Kaito looked around him to see if there was anyone else that the player was looking at

no, it was him.

He didn't really know what to do so he stood still until the player arrived before him, the player stopped in front of him and put his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.

Kaito waited as the player took deep breathes.

Finally the player cleared his throat and looked at Kaito-

"you're the player Insane, right?"

Kaito was a bit surprised, this was the second time he had gotten this question this day.

"yeah, that's me" he answered

"I knew it! i've been looking for you!" the player eagerly said

The player continued-

"My name is DarkestBone, I've been a big fan of yours since i saw you on the scoreboard"

Kaito changed his expression slightly as he heard this, he was surprised to hear that he had a fan.

DarkestBone saw Kaito's expression change and quickly added-

"i'm also a necromancer, and i want to learn from you. Please teach me, i'll do anything" He pleaded

Kaito was ready to ignore this player, but thought of an idea, maybe helpers wasn't such a bad idea.

DarkestBone felt his heart beat faster as a notification popped up in front of him.

〈Received friend request from player: "Insane", do you wish to accept? (Y/N) 〉

He quickly accepted and he felt joy all throughout his body as he read the following message-

〈You have added player: "Insane" to your friend list〉

Kaito's expression was unchanged as DarkestBone looked back at him.

DarkestBone was just about to open his mouth to exclaim his gratitude but Kaito interrupted him-

"Hold out your hands" Kaito said

DarkestBone did so without question and Kaito waved his hand and 20 pieces of wolf meat appeared out of thin air and fell into the arms of DarkestBone

"Go sell these and come back and i might teach you how to control your skeletons better" Kaito said

This would be the best test, if DarkestBone was an honest player who truly wanted to help Kaito and learn from him he would come back with the money he got from selling the wolf meat.

20 pieces of wolf meat was more than most players had seen right now.

DarkestBone gulped and quickly put the pieces into his inventory and looked around him to see if any other players had seen.

He looked at Kaito once more and was met by an indifferent expression.

"Yes master, i promise i'll tell you once i've sold them all" He uttered

'Master?, eh, sure i guess' Kaito thought, being taken aback

Kaito nodded and waved his hand while turning around and walking away.

DarkestBone just stood still and watched as he barely could believe what had just happened.

Kaito felt a few players look at him and whisper as he moved through the town square. He ignored their gazes and moved straight towards his goal: "The Huntsman"

He opened the door and saw a few players standing around, looking at tanned leather or different kinds of meat that were being sold.

As the bell rang upon his arrival Baldrum looked up and happily exclaimed-

"Welcome back laddie! how has the forest treated you today?"

The three players that had already been in the shop stopped what they were doing and looked at Kaito, the shop owner never greeted anyone that happily.

Kaito could hear a few whispers from the players that were now looking at him.

"is that...?" one said with a hushed tone

"that's him, right?.." another whispered.

Kaito looked back at Baldrum-

"I've had a good hunt my friend! I've come to sell you some of the meat" Kaito answered with a smile

He had grown fond of Baldrum, as he had spoken to him so many times.

"well then, that's lovely to hear, how much you got?" Baldrum's thunderous voice spread throughout the shop.

The players looked at each other, they had been here a couple of times today and they had never heard Baldrum speak with such a cheerful tone.

Kaito looked at his inventory.

When he got out of the forest he had 38 wolf meat, now he had given away 20 pieces to DarkestBone to sell. So he had 18 pieces remaining

He also saw that he was carrying around 34 Wolf Pelts that he had gathered in total

"I got 18 pieces of wolf meat" Kaito said

The three players around him widened their eyes, that was a lot of wolf meat, thankfully they didn't know that he had just given away 20 pieces.

Baldrum begun to run his fingers through his beard.

"Tis' town has gotten more hunters, more wolfs are being hunted down and the prices have dropped quite quickly, the price is around 2 silver for a piece right now" Baldrum said while thinking

"How about this; i'll take all 18 pieces off your hand for 25 silver" Baldrum said slowly but quickly changed it-

"oh hell, you helped me out this morning so let's say 28 silver"

Kaito smiled at him and quickly waved his hand and 18 pieces of wolf meat appeared on the counter before Baldrum.

The players in the shop were still just standing there, watching this whole transaction take place.

"deal" Kaito said and Baldrum took up a coin purse and threw it towards Kaito

Kaito caught it mid air and put it inside of his inventory.

"Oh by the way, i got 34 wolf pelts as well" Kaito looked at Baldrum once more

"That's perfect laddie! i actually spoke to the armorer who needed some tanned wolf leather, i told him i would would fix it, so this is perfect" Baldrum exclaimed and quickly added-

"how about we do this, you leave the pelts with me, i tan em' and then you come back and you take the tanned leather to the armorer?, it will be a pretty penny in it for you, i'm sure" Baldrum looked at Kaito with anticipation

Kaito didn't think too much about it, he knew Baldrum to be an honest man so he didn't hesitate before handing over all of the pelts.

"Sounds good" Kaito said, slowly nodding his head

"oh by the way, i might need to use your backyard later"

Baldrum shone up as he replied -

"Anytime laddie, anytime!"

Kaito turned around and exited the shop leaving the three players in a shocked state, 'what had just happened?' they all looked at each other, 'how could a player have a such a good bond with a NPC?'

Kaito looked around him as he went outside, his next destination would be the magic store to look for skill books, but first he needed to log out and eat something.

so he logged out.
