Chapter 21: People Are Catching up?
Entering the village Poko soon found a small tavern which he entered, at this time of day there wasn’t many people in the building. Poko was greeted by a girl who looked about 14 years old.“Hello mister, what can I get you?”“Hi, I was wondering if this town has an inn?”“Nope sorry, mom says that there’s not enough travelers for an inn but some farmers rent out barn space.”“Hmm ok, do you know what kind of rumors have been going around lately?”“Rumors? I heard herald was sleeping with the butchers daughter and got caught! Now old man rogers is furious!”‘Highly doubt that’s related to the quest but that’s what I get for being vague.’“Hmm interesting, what about monsters rumors? I’m a hunter and am looking for something new to hunt.”“Hmm well there is a lot of hyenas, rabbits, and deer around here. There’s also the crag tooth ridge but no one goes there because of how dangerous it is, I heard there was a dragon sleeping there!”Poko continued to chat with the little girl but she

Chapter 22: A Tough Fight
Poko sprinted up the hill and saw a blue wolf sniffing at some clothes and a shield on the ground. The sword was the beginner sword and looked like scrap, while the shield was dented but still usable. It seems like he beat the first instructor and got the shield but that was it. [Players: 1/30]Before the wolf noticed him Poko started with a fire spell, he used fire control to increase the strength and did not use quick cast as he had the jump on the creature.Of course a magical wolf would notice the change in mana immediately, it raised its head and dodged the fire with a movement skill. Poko followed it up with a quickened fire spell and hit the wolf as it’s skill was probably still on cooldown. However the wolf didn’t bother to dodge and merely opened its mouth.Poko knew what was coming and immediately used his movement skill to dash behind the ridge as an icy breath passed over above him. Poko ran back up, already casting earth shower. As soon as he saw the wolf he cast it an

Chapter 23: Plenty Of Rewards!
The lesser fire did not destroy the shield, only dimming it a little. He would probably need 2 more flame spells to destroy it. The man now did something weird, he charged at Poko. Poko was caught off guard as all the man needed now was a quick spell and it would probably do a lot to him but instead he charged at him. But this was to his advantage, Poko closed the distance too with his sword and shield.This time the man did not dodge at all and let the shield block the hit, nearly destroying it. He ran right past Poko and Poko realized what the man was doing, he was likely out of mana and running for his bag and equipment. As soon as Poko finished swinging his sword, he started a fire spell with full power. The man grabbed the bag, rummaged quickly until he took out a blue bottle and gulped it down. Just as he started casting another spell Poko finished his which destroyed the man’s shield and hit him heavily. The man let out a scream and his spell fizzled in the air. Poko used qui

Chapter 24: A Fight With Rose Company?
The one at the front looked fairly young and also the leader holding a sword, there was a middle aged women who was probably a healer, an old man holding a wand, a sly looking fella with daggers and a giant man with a tower shield. The tower shield looked very uncomfortable on the horse.“It’s Rose company! Please excuse my humble hospitality, I didn’t expect such prestigious guests for such a simple magical beast extermination.”“You said in the report there was a frost wolf and giant bear right? When did you see them and where?”“They were in the crag tooth ridge, but this man here has already taken care of them. I’m terribly sorry to have wasted your time honorable sirs but if your interested in their hides he is looking to sell them, I’m sure he’ll give you a good price!”The leader of the group looks at Poko. “Hmph look old man you can’t listen to just anybody’s stories, this man is clearly lying.”“No I’m not, I killed them both.”“Do you think I’m an idiot? Show me the hide th

Beside the old man is a middle aged man in nobles clothing.King: “Are you sure this report is correct?”Old Man: “Yes your majesty, I did a preliminary investigation while it was still fresh in the villagers minds, however I didn’t have time to check out the corpse since we couldn’t risk losing the enhancer again.”Noble: “Sire allow me to investigate this more thoroughly, I’m sure there is an explanation.”King:”No, don’t bother.

Gof the blacksmith was very short with rippling muscles, he seemed like the quiet type. Resama the tailor has blonde hair and perky… personalities, she seems very outgoing. Rosliny the potion maker is a beauty with red hair, she looks a bit more stern. Masu is a wider man who seems happy with their catch, he immediately gets to preparing the and cooking the food.After some introductions Masu started cooking and Poko watched intently trying to learn. It was clear Masu was already much better than him and even had multiple skills dealing with cooking.

These guys are dedicated to their craft, I should try to befriend them.’Willow: “So Oko here wanted to jo
