Chapter 10: [Power Leveling!]



Chapter 10: [Power Leveling!]

"These 4 Quests. 2 for me and 2 for Mira," said Adam.

"Are you sure about this?" Amelia asked as she looked at me, a bit worried. But looking at Mira, she seemed to calm down a little.

Mira was a C-Grade adventurer, so I took a couple of D-Grade quests related to killing monsters. It required bringing a dozen Desert Goblins' ears, and 2 Desert Boars' carcasses.

As for my own, they were delivery quests regarding desert flowers and herbs.

Amelia submitted the quest under mine and Amelia's name.

[Quest: Collect 10 Desert Lily!

Grade: Common

Difficulty: Medium

Rewards: +20 Exp!]

[Quest: Collect 5 Black Crabs!

Grade: Common

Difficulty: Medium

Reward: +15 Exp!]

'Hmmm… so I won't get the quest which Mira will take, huh?' I was kinda unhappy with this. The plan was to get 4 System Quests and level up faster, but it seems like I need to take it under my name.

The original reward was 10 iron coins for Lily and 20 iron coins for Crabs. The System's Exp was just a bonus here.

[Author's Note:

"Better than nothing, I guess," I spoke with a sad expression.

-Pat!

A heavy pat on my back by Mira as she tried cheering me up,"come on now. Don't be a wuss. Let's go help you adventuring. That'll cheer you up in no time."

I looked at her with slight anger as I rubbed my back where she hit. That hurt man!

"Lioness!" I cursed under my breath

"Did you say something?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing. Let's go," I gave her a forced smile as I shook my head before following her towards the exit. "See you later Amelia," Mira spoke as she took me out of there. Towards the nearest hunting ground.

I wouldn't exactly call it a conversation, but Mira was guiding me throughout the town as we went to a couple of weapon shops and blacksmiths. She had to pick up a weapon she gave for something, while in the other areas, she just wanted me to have something I could defend myself with.

"But I don't have any money," I told her with an awkward smile and explained to her how I 'lost' all my money on my journey due to some stupid mistakes.

She bought my story or maybe just didn't care enough as she gave me one of her extra daggers,

"I'll lend it to you for the quests," she said while giving it to me.

Our next destination was a little to the west of the Mirag Town, near a den of Desert Goblins. For now, we just needed to make sure we hunt the scouts and get a dozen goblin ears. Supposedly the Desert Lily can also be found in the oasis occupied by the goblins.

"You are rather lucky, you know?" Mira spoke out of nowhere, on the way to the goblins' den. Her eyes looked at me with rather amazement. She continued,

"To not die in that desert, it is truly a miracle… All the more miraculous that you were alone by yourself despite being so weak. To be fair, we would have taken you as a monster hiding as a human pretending to be weak… anyone would have done that."

'Is that why they killed me right away? Because I was a weak person in a desert that was hailed as one of the most dangerous places in Zarraf?' I wondered as I tried looking at it from their point of view.

"You really are a human, right?" she asked me, as if wanting to hear it from my mouth herself.

"Well. I am not a monster, if that is what you are asking," I answered her in a way that may tell her that I am special but not an enemy. Telling her I am a human will leave her rather conflicted, given she is still cautious of me.

"Is that so?" she smiled as she looked at me. Presumably satisfied with my response.

"Well. Even though you guys had your own circumstances, that is water under the bridge now. Not like you guys had harmed me, did you?" I smiled as I looked at her, recalling all the times I died because of them.

"Kind of," she muttered slowly before she changed the topic again,

"What do you think about Mirag Town?"

"Dead. I feel like I was in a dead town with no light," I told her my honest opinion. Hearing my response she smiled before nodding,

"That is correct."

The conversation would have gone a little longer, but we had almost reached the goblins' settlement. A few scouts were also visible in the area.

"So. Before we go hunting them, I need to ask. Have you ever killed desert goblins before?" She inquired, and I shook my head. Even though I did, it was in the game and even though everything was similar, it is better to start from scratch in a situation particular to this one.

"Okay. Listen, I will show you the way to do it. Though it will work in almost all low-level goblins except a Black Goblin and Goblin Shaman. They are kind of smarter than your usual mobs," Mira began explaining about the goblins, little by little as she took out her dual knives.

"I will kill 11 of them, leaving the last one to you. How about it?" she asked with a knowing smile. I pretended to make a joyous expression, at which she chuckled before she began moving towards the goblins while I observed her moving rather cautiously.

Using a bunch of stones, she attracted 2 goblins at a time, and then, attacking from behind, she killed them in one sweep. Took about 30 minutes but she succeeded in hunting about 11 of them before she brought the last one towards me.

She especially weakened him considerably before bringing him to me or else I would have surely been pounded to death.

"It's all yours. Don't die, will ya?" She spoke as she stepped aside, leaving the charging goblin to me. Looking at her, it didn't seem like she would interfere unless there was an emergency.

-Raawwrrrr!!

The desert goblin shouted while charging at me. Its eyes were in a frenzy as it looked at me.

Waiting for the chance, I skillfully moved away from it, swiftly dodging its attack. Honestly, it was just a fast side step done at the right moment, in the right direction. Missing me, it ran past me, carried by the momentum.

Not wasting time, I also ran towards it. Meanwhile, it slowed down, giving me a chance to strike it from its back.

[Super Strength!]

And adding power to my attack, I stabbed the goblin at its back, near the neck region.

-Stab!

The first stab didn't produce any results, so I took the dagger out, pushing the goblin ahead. The goblin fell on the ground, moving towards it at a rapid speed.

-Stab!
