Chapter 3 - Levelling Up
Not far from Red Leaf Town there stood a young man with two daggers in hand stealthy manoeuvring the plains.
"The creak is not too far away but I should try and raise my level to 3 before I carry on."
Alex pondered for a couple of seconds before turning and flying towards a group of wolves after he spotted them in the distance.
Closing the distance in a matter of a couple of breaths of time, he was immediately noticed by the wolf pack's leader. Not that Alex cared too much about this because to him their fates had already been sealed.
"Now, should I stretch my legs a little?"
Alex closed in on the first of the six wolves efficiently. Using the two daggers he had he used his body to remain low to the ground and just before he was in striking distance to the wolf he slowed his movement down ever so slightly. To a normal player, this wouldn't have been noticed yet this movement threw the wolf's timing off.
Before Alex's engaged the wolf, the pack saw the youth approach them causing them to look at the youth in disdain. Not bothering to label the youth as a real threat the wolf pack leader left it to one of the lower wolves. As the wolf struck out with its claw did it realise that Alex was actually an expert in hiding.
Using the faction of a second of confusion that Alex had created he hasting his movement and sidestepped the wolf's incoming claw. Stepping out to the side of the wolf he slashed out his dagger with his right hand as he circled the wolf returning to his original position.
-87
Alex just left a critical hit across the wolf's neck as blood flew out. Not hesitating for even a second Alex followed up with the dagger in his left hand by using his skill [Chop] across the wolf's belly as it screeched out in pain.

"Who's next then," Alex said as he smiled at the wolf as it fell to the floor.
Dashing towards the incoming wolf that was infuriated at the death of its friend. Alex once more stopped and started his movement but this time he immediately used the skill [Chop] as it only had a cooldown timer of 3 seconds.
-64 -92
Once more the wolf fell to the floor as Alex sliced twice across the wolf cutting at vital spots like a trained hunter. This time however not sparing a breath of time he swirled his body and dashed at the next wolf. Repeating his movements all 5 out of the 6 wolves fell shortly after the first.
"Now, Just the leader to take care of."
ROARRR!
Clearly angry the wolf howled at Alex and dashed at him. This time however instead of using its claws in the first engagement it used its mouth to try and bite at Alex. Yet Alex as if he expected the wolf leader to attack this way simply sidestepped and slashed the wolf twice with each dagger inflicting pain.
The wolf however didn't fall quite yet as it slashed its claw towards Alex in anger. Alex once more sidestepped the incoming claw as it brushed past his cheek as he closed the distance between the two. Using [Chop] once more the wolf fell to the floor.

[You have Levelled up.]
[You have gained x6 wolf pelts.]
[You have gained x3 wolf tooth.]
"Not bad, I levelled up but it's just the first of many to come. That said I should add my new attribute points."
Every level a player would get 2 attribute points to place into the stats as well as one free skill point. Alex without hesitation added the two free attribute points into agility once more before dashing towards the next wolf pack in far off distance.
For the next 30 minutes, it was like a grim reaper descended outside of Red Leaf Town as every wolf pack in the near perimeter was cleaned out one by one.
[You have levelled up.]
[You have gained x6 wolf pelt.]
[You have gained x4 wolf tooth.]
Over the course of the 30 minutes, Alex cleaned out 6 packs. Netting himself quite the sum of wolf pelts and wolf teeth. Although he didn't get actual money from this killing spree these materials could be turned into some change if he sold them back in town.
"Now then, since I'm finally level 3 It's about time to get on with the quest."
Putting the attribute points once more into agility it reached 10 and was the first out of his stats to reach double digits.

"Now then to the creak we go."
Turning and dashing towards the opening of a valley in the distance. Alex journeyed for around 15 minutes before he finally made his way to a parting of two mountains. Alex stopped for a moment before smiling and continuing.
[You have entered the hunting grounds of the creak.]
Without questioning his decision he activated his skill [Stealth] before making his way into the jungle that was sandwiched in-between the two towering mountains.
