The Hunt Begins
Kaelith crouched in the shadows, bow in hand, observing the dimly lit camp. Most bandits had rushed toward the treasury, leaving behind a few scattered guards. He needed to clear them out, one by one.
A soft breeze carried the scent of damp earth and smoke. In the flickering torchlight, three bandits patrolled the outskirts. Kaelith grinned. Three targets. Three arrows.

First Kill – Silent Execution
> Bandit (Level 2) – 100 HP
The first bandit stood near a supply crate, lazily tossing a knife into the air. Kaelith activated Poison Arrow, coating his next shot in lethal toxin.
> [Poison Arrow Activated]
– Arrow coated in venom.
✅ Inflicts 10 initial damage
✅ Target is paralyzed for 5 seconds
He exhaled, steadied his aim, and loosed the arrow.
> Thwip!
The bandit jerked, the arrow buried in his neck. His body locked up, unable to move. His knife slipped from his grasp, clattering to the ground. He tried to scream—nothing came out.
> -10 HP (Poison Arrow)
[Paralyzed for 5 seconds]
Kaelith nocked another arrow, aiming for the forehead.
> Thwip!
The bandit collapsed, dead before he hit the dirt.
> +20 EXP
(7130/10,000 EXP to Level 2)

Second Kill – Focus Shot Precision
> Bandit (Level 2) – 100 HP
A second bandit, pacing by a tent, turned his head just as Kaelith activated Focus Shot.
> [Focus Shot Activated]
✅ +50% Damage
✅ +30% Accuracy
Kaelith adjusted his aim, accounting for the movement.
> Thwip!
The arrow slammed into the bandit's chest, sending him stumbling backward. His eyes widened in shock before he collapsed. A clean, efficient kill.
> -60 HP (Focus Shot Critical Hit!)
-40 HP (Final Shot)
> +20 EXP
(7150/10,000 EXP to Level 2)

Third Kill – The Shadow Step Ambush
> Bandit (Level 2) – 100 HP
The last bandit near the tents heard the noise and turned, gripping his sword. His eyes darted around. He suspects something.
Kaelith activated Shadow Step.
> [Shadow Step Activated]
✅ Instantly teleports to a shadow behind the target.
✅ Next attack has +25% Critical Chance.
He disappeared in an instant, reappearing right behind the bandit. With fluid precision, he pressed his dagger against the bandit's throat and drove it deep.
> -75 HP (Critical Hit!)
-25 HP (Final Strike)
The bandit gurgled, eyes rolling back before slumping to the ground.
> +30 EXP
(7180/10,000 EXP to Level 2)

The Aftermath
Kaelith wiped his blade clean, scanning the area. The camp was still oblivious.
Most of the bandits were wasting their time at the treasury. The ones left behind? Dead.
> Silent. Efficient. Deadly.
> He still had 2,820 EXP to go before leveling up… but that wouldn't take long.
Kaelith melted into the darkness, already seeking his next prey.
Kaelith: The Hunter in the Shadows
Kaelith moved swiftly, his boots barely making a sound against the dirt. He had positioned himself behind a stack of wooden crates near the treasury, just outside the reach of the flickering torches. The chaos inside the camp was music to his ears.
> Perfect. Just as planned.
Nearly all the bandits were there, arguing in front of the large wooden doors that secured their stolen fortune. The crude iron locks remained untouched. There had been no attack—only fear.
> And I didn't even have to lift a finger.
---
The Panic Unfolds
A massive, scar-faced bandit, likely one of the higher-ups, slammed his fist against the treasury door.
> Scar-Face Bandit: "I swear, if someone's playing games, I'll rip their throat out!"
Another bandit, a wiry man with a permanent scowl, kicked a rock in frustration.
> Scowl Bandit: "Then explain why every single one of us ran here like damn idiots! Huh? Who the hell started this?! Who screamed first?!"
A third bandit, shorter and bulkier, hesitated before pointing at someone.
> Short Bandit: "It—It was Garth! He panicked and ran!"
A lanky, terrified bandit—Garth—immediately turned red.
> Garth: "Bullshit! You're the one who yelled that we were under attack!"
The group exploded into an argument, pushing and shoving each other, accusations flying. Weapons were drawn, but no one dared to make the first move. The fear in their eyes was evident.
Kaelith, still hidden in the shadows, smirked.
> Idiots. The best enemies are the ones that destroy themselves.
He had done nothing but plant a seed of fear. The bandits' own paranoia had done the rest.
---
A Hunter's Patience
Kaelith didn't need to rush. He watched, waiting for an opportunity. His fingers tapped lightly against his bow, calculating his next move.
The bandits were too focused on arguing to realize they were already being hunted.
And when the time was right…
Kaelith would strike.
Kaelith: Chaos Unleashed
Kaelith pulled three Mini Bombs from his pouch, their surfaces smooth and cool in his grip. These weren't massive explosives—just enough to cause panic, fire, and destruction.
> Let's see how much more I can make them fear the unknown.
Still hidden behind the crates, he calculated the best trajectory and timing.
The bandits were still bickering, their tempers rising. Some had drawn weapons, but none had actually fought yet. That was about to change.
> Time to turn suspicion into full-blown chaos.
---
The Throw – Silent but Deadly
With precise movements, Kaelith tossed the first Mini Bomb into the center of the crowd.
> One Mississippi… Two Mississippi…
He threw the second bomb a few feet left, toward a cluster of bandits gripping their swords.
> Three Mississippi…
The third bomb soared right, landing near Scar-Face and his group.
Still arguing. Still unaware.
Kaelith smirked, watching from the shadows.
> BOOM!
---
Explosion in the Camp!
Flames erupted as the Mini Bombs ignited the dry grass and wooden crates.
> Bandit 1: "WHA—AGH!"
> Bandit 2: "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!"
> Scar-Face: "SHIT! GET COVER!"
The force sent several bandits flying, knocking them into each other. Smoke rose into the air, blinding those nearby. Screams filled the camp as burning embers scattered.
Some bandits, caught in the explosion, rolled on the ground, trying to put out the fire on their clothes. Others grabbed their weapons, swinging wildly, assuming an enemy was already among them.
A few bandits panicked and attacked each other in the confusion.
> Bandit 3: "YOU DID THIS, DIDN'T YOU?!"
> Bandit 4: "BASTARD! GET AWAY FROM ME!"
A full-blown brawl broke out.
---
Kaelith's Advantage
Kaelith crouched lower, watching as his plan unfolded perfectly.
> And just like that… they're tearing each other apart.
He reached for an arrow, his eyes scanning the battlefield.
Now, it was time to clean up the survivors.
