The Hundred-Edged Guardian Part I

“How are you doing?” a voice rang.

“I’ve died five times already. The good thing is I lose just one level each time. In case I die again, I will have to grind more levels before I can advance my Job. The quest has a time limit; if it goes over the time limit, I will have to wait a week or so,” replied another man who had just teleported to Barahon City. At this moment, he stood before an old castle near the city’s business district with his arms crossed.

“Is the level 200 Job quest this hard?” Blanche asked.

“Yeah…just the first few levels, there were too many crazy monsters that I didn’t know about, swarming and trying to kill me. As I was escaping, a trap appeared. But this time was the craziest. Huh...just talking about it makes me sick to my stomach,” Tan, who had just died from his Job quest, complained to his friend.

“It’s because you’re too noob,” Cal said as he looked the other way.

“You think you're so tough, kid?!” Edward turned to yell at Cal.
