"Hmm so if I am more than one level higher than the enemy I lose fifty percent, does that mean I gain fifty percent if I am more than one level lower?"
Just as John was about to harvest the rabbit fur two more rabbits came bounding out of the bushes.
"Perfect," John said with a smile before combat commenced.
***
After taking care of the rabbits, he decided to try his new skinning skill and so he took our his skinning knife and bent down to the first rabbit.

After that John collected the other two rabbit furs.

"I guess it's a good thing I have experience from skinning animals after working in a slaughterhouse for one of my jobs, shame the skinning Knife has zero ATP though." John mumbled as he inspected the skinning knife before he approached the Briarthorn to gather.
[Skinning Knife: A basic knife for skinning animals, no attack power.]

"Nice two quests' down." John said before going over and harvesting the Peacebloom that was still there from last time.
After he was done, he looked around to try and tell which direction he should head in.
As John looked towards the center of the forest, he noticed that everything seemed darker and gloomier, he also felt a slight shiver go down his spine as if something was watching him.
"It looks like I know which way I'm heading." John mumbled
However, it seemed that he was also being watched from behind as four players came out of the trees smirking at him.
Their group consisted of two elves, a fairy and a centaur.
"Oi human tell us what the mayor really wanted from you or else." Spoke the elf who seemed to be the leader.
John did not respond and only looked at them as if he had just realized something.
"Oi did you hear me you damn human noob?"
"I did." John replied simply.
"Then why did you not respond?"
"Because I just realized that every race seems to have bullies, even the elves."
"Why you?" The elf said as both elves looked embarrassed.
"Oh please, don't try and defend yourself now, you literally said what any cliche bully says, next you're probably going to say something along the lines of, if you don't tell us what we want to know where going to kill you." John interrupted while rolling his eyes.
The centaur and the fairy started to chuckle before the elves glared at them.
"Just give us the information human noob." The elf said gnashing his teeth.
(Inspect.) John thought.

"Haha" John laughed seeing their names.
"Ok first of all, what's this Natures Guardian crap? And also please tell me you did not use your own names in a game."
"Natures Guardian is who we follow and once we finish and leave the starting village we will join him." Ayen stated.
"And so, what if we use our own names, this is the second world after all."
"Yeah, yeah sure, anyway I hate to tell you this but you four don't stand a chance against me." John advised them.
However, as with any movie ever made, when the hero advises the villain that they can't beat them, the villain just looked at the hero as if they had gone mad before they broke out in laughter.
"You can't be serious right? I mean there are four of us and only one of you." Asked Carpus laughing.
"Dead serious, did you guys even try using Inspect on me?" John asked.
"Inspect? you're kidding, right? everyone knows you can't get inspect before you leave the starter village and learn it from your class trainers in your continent's capital city." Dain replied.
"Is that so?" John simply replied.
(I guess I got lucky with Mossy giving it to me to help in her quest)
"Enough tell us what you spoke with the mayor about or do you want to die?." Ayen demanded.
"And there it is the classic, do what we tell you or you will die." John said with a grin while Carpus and Laurelhoof tried not to laugh.
"Enough, are you giving us the info or not?"
"Nope."
"Fine, battle formation guys, Laurelhoof charge."
"I'm not a damn horse, ah fine, human you should have given us the info when you had the chance." Laurelhoof said before rearing on his hind legs, pulling a great sword off his back and charging.
Ayen pulled out his bow and started firing his arrows.
John was not sure what Carpus and Dain were doing as they just raised their hands that glowed a bit and mumbled something.
John ignored the arrows from Ayen and as they hit him.
[*NOTICE* You have been attacked first]
[Damage Taken: 0 by player Ayen]
"WHAT THE FUCK." Ayen yelled in surprise.
"I told you your attacks were too weak, Ayen." Laurelhoof said as he arrived in front of John and swung his sword horizontally.
John Ducked underneath but as he did so he heard two words and then two magic spells hit him.
[Player Dodged]
[Damage Taken: 0 by player Laurelhoof]
"Lightning Bolt" Dain said
"Earth shot" Carpus said
[Damage Taken: 7 by player Dain]
[Damage Taken: 8 by player Carpus]
[HP: 440/440>>425/440]
"FUCK ONLY 7 DAMAGE"
"What is his skin made of?"
"Oh? I guess spells add extra damage like weapons, though more it seems." John mumbled as he performed an uppercut right into Laurelhoof's throat.
[Critical Hit]
[Damage Dealt: 20 to player Laurelhoof]
(Shit this might take a while)
"Ah fuck what's with that damage." Laurelhoof said as he stumbled back from the attack.
"Damn Laurelhoof you HP just dropped by twenty on the party interface." Carpus said with surprise.
"Yeah, I saw the notification idiot." Laurelhoof replied, shooting Carpus a glare.
While Laurelhoof was distracted talking to Carpus John rushed up to him and once again punched him in the throat as another arrow hit him.
[Critical Hit]
[Damage Dealt: 20 to player Laurelhoof]
[Damage Taken: 0 by player Ayen]
"Fuck zero again, is he hacking."
"Lightning Bolt"
[Damage Taken: 7 by player Dain]
"Earth shot"
[Damage Taken: 8 by player Carpus]
[HP: 425/440>>410/440]
"WHAT THE FUCK" Dain
"He is so hacking," Carpus said in an annoyed voice.
"LAURELHOOF BUY US A COUPLE OF SECONDS, DAIN, CARPUS USE A CAST SPELL." Ayen ordered
"God, damn it, make it fast. His attacks hurt." Laurelhoof said complaining as he swung his great-sword again which John dodged.
[Player Dodged]
[Damage Taken: 0 by player Laurelhoof]
"Your attacks are way too slow and predictable, you know?" John stated as he saw the other three aiming at him.
Dain and Carpus hands glowed and the arrow on Ayen's bow started to light up.
(Better make use of this time just in case) John thought as he threw another punch at Laurelhoof, unfortunately not hitting a weak spot this time.
[Damage Dealt: 10]
"Ugh damn you." Laurelhoof said as he swung again.
John dodged and hit Laurelhoof's throat again.
[Player Dodged]
[Damage Taken: 0 by player Laurelhoof]
[Critical Hit]
[Damage Dealt: 20 to player Laurelhoof]
"Gah fuck, WHAT THE HELL IS TAKING YOU GUYS SO LONG."
[Critical Hit]
[Damage Dealt: 20 to player Laurelhoof]
"READY" Ayen said before shouting off his spell as John landed another hit and surprisingly this one was just a normal kick to the body but still got a critical.
"POWER SHOT" Ayen Yelled
"Lightning Javelin" Dain said.
"Earth Spear," Carpus said.
[Damage Taken: 24 by player Ayen]
[Damage Taken: 22 by player Dain]
[Damage Taken: 23 by player Carpus]
[HP: 410/440>>341/440]
"NOW WHERE TALKING" Ayen shouted in triumph as Dain and Carpus smiled.
(Damn that hurt a bit, might need to start dodging those later, but first.) John thought as he had an idea to disable Laurelhoof for a bit to try and take him out.
"Laurelhoof, keep holding him down we will do again." Ayen instructed as the three started charging their attacks.
"Just get a move on." Laurelhoof Said as he swung big again.
This time as John ducked, he swept his leg out and took out Laurelhoof's front two legs making his body fall forward before he collapsed to the side.
"SHIT" Laurelhoof yelled.
"Let's try this" John said as he jumped a little and kicked his foot down onto Laurelhoof neck.
[Super Critical Hit]
[Damage Dealt: 50 to player Laurelhoof]
[Opponent Stunned for 2 seconds]
"That's more like it and it even has a stun, nice." John said before he jumped again just as the other three fired off their spells.
"POWER SHOT"
"Lightning Javelin"
"Earth Spear"
[Damage Taken: 24 by player Ayen]
[Damage Taken: 22 by player Dain]
[Damage Taken: 23 by player Carpus]
[HP: 341/400>>272/440]
"SHIT WHAT THE HELL IS A SUPER CRITICAL" Laurelhoof yelled.
"WHAT!" Carpus yelled in surprise,
"He just did a super critical?" Dain asked as John came back down from his little jump.
[Super Critical Hit]
[Damage Dealt: 50 to player Laurelhoof]
[Opponent Stunned for 2 seconds]
"AGH AGAIN, SHIT KILL THIS GUY, I'M DOWN TO ONLY FIFTY HP"
"WHAT!" All three said before charging there attacks again.
"Thanks for the info on you HP but I'm afraid it's too late."
