After setting his attribute points he went to the tailor's shop, "Hello," he was greeted by a male clerk, "How may I help you?"
"I'm looking for some leather armour," he said the clerk looked the pink Birdman up and down his clothes were tattered past the point of repair, "Alright would you like three or a five-set piece and what kind?"
Apex looked behind the man there stood a wall of different types of monster skin, wold, mud salamander, even fox.
"Three-piece wolf set please," he answered, "Alright that'll be 300 Silvers please."
The beginner towns had sold their supplies at a discounted price compared to outside. It meant with the coins he had he'd be swimming in at least green rank equipment it was also the highest rank Item the clerk was willing to sell.
[Wolf leather set 3/5 (Green)] [+50 Defence.]
[An item made from the flesh of wolves improves the hunter's spirit.]
"Not bad it's on the lowest spectrum of green equipment but I can complain," he put on the black armoured pants, arm guards and leather breastplate, he couldn't wear a five-piece because what bird folk feet weren't meant more normal shoes a minor disadvantage but otherwise easily passable
"Excuse me but do you also have leather bags?" he asked the clerk his face brightened up.
"Of course sir we have common leather pouches with 10 spaces for 5 silver."
"An uncommon bag with 15 spaces for 20 silver."
"And a rare one with 25 spaces for 1 gold."
He smiled bringing back three bags, each covered in grey, green and blue bags respectively.
One gold that's 500 Euros and he spent it willingly for the rare pouch he also bought a utility belt so he could attach it to his waist.
Now for a weapon upgrade. he patted his new armour and headed to the blacksmith.
[Blacksmith]
He walked inside the smithy and working at the far end was jacked dwarf-like Jojo style jacked he didn't look back as someone else came around this time a regular person, "How may I be of assistance, sir?"
Reaching into his inventory, He pulled out the wolf fang, "I'd like to have a custom spear made," he said showing the fang the blacksmith stopped hammering and spoke, "Leave him he's mine, a wolf fang eh that's rare, how much?"
"I'm looking to spend about 500 silvers for the weapon, and I'd like it to be made today," he said the dwarf shrugged.
"Hm? You know that'll be costly including one day rush, will cost double," he said examining the fang.
"That's fine with me, can I also buy 20 of your Iron spears?"
The dwarf didn't look still examining the fang, "that'll be 1 gold, come back in five minutes."
He nodded and took the Iron spears now there were just the final preparations. He went to a secluded part of the forest not far from the entrance of the village and sat down.
With his new inventory, he could stack 10 Items in one slot which helped as he was gathering a bunch of pungent berries.
He took out one and smeared it on the spear, he did the same with the other 20 spears, eventually, their names changed. They became poison-tipped spears with dealing -5 Hp for 5 seconds.
[Poison tipped Iron spear (Common)] [+10 Attack]
[A common weapon used by common soldiers or hunters.]
"If I throw it with my ten power then it's 20 attack damage, and extra 25 with the poison so twenty, yeah I can kill Beruga."
"It's time," he got up and returned to the blacksmith walking in through the door the dwarf turned to him and smiled pointing beside the door.
"There it's right beside you a custom spear, Hope you like it."
[Crude Fang Spear (Green)] [+50 Attack + 15 Power]
[Effect: 0.1% bleed(-5/s)]
[A crude weapon made from the fang of a fallen alpha, its spirit remains restless.]
"I'm sorry I salvaged what I could it could've been a rare Item with at least 200 but the fang was rotting and old, it's uncommon but with ten strong thrusts then you'll be good."
"It doesn't matter much but thank you," Apex bowed switching the blackwood spear for this one. He marched in the forest, passing other players and dodging monsters some glanced at him as no one yet had a set of armour.

Across from him was a group of three players walking past him.
"Uh we can't beat the damn bear how are we going to complete the quest," an elf healer spoke to her friend as Apex passed by, the silver fox woman turned around for a moment before answering, "hm?"
She said, making the other two turns with them, "What about him?" she said, "The direction is where we came from."
Her friends looked at her as if she were insane, "who cares about some pink bird dude he's probably just going to hunt, what are you implying he's going to fight the boss solo?" the elf player scoffed.
The third girl a red fox beast woman spoke, "Just ignore him Re-Bunny."
"... It's just he has a set of equipment," she turned her head looking forward, " but the prices are high and he has what we need."
"Wait a minute! He really does how is that possible and so quick too?" the elf's eyes glued towards Apex's disappearing back.
The third girl spoke once more, "we can focus on this player another time right now let's see if Arnolds become a blacksmith yet."
...
Apex stopped, reaching the river, not far he could see the six-legged beast drinking.
[Beruga (Level 10)] [Field Boss]
Health: 1000/1000 Mana: 500/500 Energy: 500/500
'I got this, I can do this, Its defence is around 50,' he inhaled and pulled out an Iron spear and reeled back and swish!
Shunk! -6!
"Roar!" It flinched feeling a sharp pain on its waist it turned seeing Apex afar from it, but before it could do anything another spear slammed into its eye, a critical hit!
-18 Crit! -5! poisoned -5...
Not giving a damn Beruga roared and charged towards him the previous spear still in its eye, 40, 30, 25 meters it was getting close.
"Come at me, bro!" He spread his wings and took to flight to the top of the trees landing on it he pulled out another Iron spear manifested.
Shunk, shunk! -12! -10/s poisoned...
He was doing it two more spears sunk into its back he felt the tree beneath him quickly, he jumped off, gliding across the river. It's barely been one minute, and it was suffering!
Health: 870/1000 (-5/s) Mana: 500/500 Energy: 450/500
The spears also caused it to bleed but its thick hyde stopped it, landing on the river he took out more iron spears from his inventory.
Shunk, shunk, shunk! -18! -15/s poisoned... bleed!
'Two crits nice,' all three Iron spears landed their marks! the bleeding was a kind effect, 'Damn it I threw thirteen times I need to save my energy!'
"Roar!" It snapped the loose ends of the spears, including the one in its eye, and charged towards Apex!
"I guess we're doing this! Hah!" he charged in the river drawing his spear, both came to a clash the Beruga swing its massive bone claws Apex held the spear with both hands in an attempt to block.
Boom!
The water around burst Apex was hit colliding into a tree!
Crack! -30!
His mind blacked out for a second before realising, '30! one more hit and-'
"Roar!" Beruga charged, refusing to give him any time to recover, 'Haha.'
Apex froze well that's not quite right his perception he could hear it his heart dancing the fear excitement, he loved this game it was the rush he loved!
Swish, scratch!
Apex jumped above its attack with his wings, while in the air he tightened his real spear and stabbed it in its eye!
-170! Lucky Critical bleed -10/s!
In a swift motion, he stabbed in its second fucking eye, but he wasn't done yet!
Shunk! -45, -45! -135 Crit! -135 Crit! -45!
Eyes, bridge, and nose! He trusted consecutive times at the basic weak spots, managing two critical hits with his spears bleed! And when he was going in for one more when he felt its attack.
'!'
Instead of he blocked the attack and covering himself using the force he jumped over the boss!
In the next moment, he felt the world turn upside down, 'How!?' he was sure he dodged it hit, but he forgot the six-legged bear It could attack twice in the one go.
Health: 202/1000 (-5/s) Mana: 500/500 Energy: 350/500
'Oh,' he watched as Beruga was splashing at the water it was blind, and it couldn't smell him and the running water deafened his presence.
"Ah!" He planted his crude spear summoning every spear from his inventory and launched them all towards the hulking bear!
Shunk, Shunk! -6! -18! -6! -18! -6! -6! -18!
The constant sound of piecing flesh mixed with the bloody waters. He used all the spears had on the beast. The poison doing its thing but it was getting close.
"Rooar!" It charged towards his direction Apex was out of energy he couldn't push himself any further.
He pushed his screaming body for one more time his perception slowed the splashing waters froze and it lunged towards him aiming to end him.
Two seconds passed he grabbed his spear, Three seconds he dashed sliding beneath the beast his sense overwhelming him like floating in the water he stood up.
Five seconds with all he had he poured every remaining bit of power he could!
"Roar!" "Argh!" The tip of his spear shimmered in blue light!
Shunk! Boom! Thud!
He blew a gaping hole in its neck his vision turned dark as he fell.

"Ha!" Apex felt his body explode with energy, he looked ahead to see the dead body of Beruga, his spear piercing through its neck!
"I-I sniff... Aaaaah!" he screamed to the heavens, his pink feathers dyed red in the epic battle. Only after a moment to breathe did he collect to move to its body.
Now that he's recovered he stood up walking to the corpse, he looted it and saw its drops.
[Berugas heart(Quest Item)] Berugas Fang(Blue)] [Berugas Hyde(Blue)] [Berugas large Bones(Blue)] [Berugas Bones Claws(Blue)] [Skill book (Green)]
He collected it all and put it in his inventory. He didn't want to wait and rushed back to the village at the front of the gates he saw the chief standing.
"I had a feeling you had completed the task, but to do so so quickly, I thank you for avenging my son, please the heart."
Apex nodded opening his pouch and taking out a hear he wrapped it in his beginner clothes and handed it to him. The moment he did another golden light covered him.
He reached level 10!
[Player apex you have made great accomplishments would you like to announce it to the world?]

Quickly Apex dashed to the Inns and sat inside the day had yet to be over and he knew people would be searching for him, not for nefarious reasons but as fans, 'Good thing I turned off Direct messages.'...The entire world's forums were going berserk of Apex's achievements.["HOW THE FUCK CAN ONE GUY TAKE ON A FIELD BOSS!? HACKS!"]["I've seen this player before, he's the one who put up that epic recipe."]["A chef made it to level 10 in 5 hours?"]["@Apex, we of the Might guild would like to offer you a premium position, please contact me if you're interested!"]["@Apex, we of the..."]["@Apex, we of the..."]["He's blocked Dm's guys take a hint."]...In front of the smithy where the three adventurers, the elf was the first to speak, "Re-Bunny you don't think?" she couldn't finish her words, "I think so." she smiled this was something unexpected."So are we going to recruit him?" the red fox girl
[You have logged out.] Shua! Back outside, the white pod opened slowly as Felix stepped out. "Hu!" he groaned twisting and flexing his body, "Ah, that's the stuff, I should start going to the gym soon." [1st January 2120 Friday 16:40] 'Five hours in real life, ten in-game the Exon company did good making this,' he thought walking out his room, he went into the kitchen and started taking out ingredients, "Some rice that way dad can eat while I'm playing." He looked at the knife in his hand, realizing, 'I need to buy throwing knives... I should also check my balance.' [Felix Green] [Balance: ₤2,178] He finished cooking and sat down enjoying a nice meal, "Nice once I get the order for the saviours guild I can put half of it into some stock," He paused in between eating, curious he checked the official discord of Fallen Online 'Haha,' he chuckled, seeing all the attention was about him and how he managed to solo a f
"Hah phew," Apex wiped his forehead he had just killed another group of Trunk-gators while searching in the night. He purposely took longer and travelled around the forest to remember its layout and markdown descent locations for the journal guide he'd been writing. And as he got up to search he soon arrived at the west end of the forest he could tell because in a mix with the forest were Standing and broken pillars. "Where the fuck is this place!?" Apex bellowed he had been walking for at least two hours killing Trunk-gators left and right. He stood in the centre of it all gazing at the uprooted stones and pillars with wild archaic symbols. He didn't remember the lore of this place, 'Something about the dryad I think,' but he didn't care. 'Uh, alright it says there's a cave between a pillar and tree marked in an upside-down v so were,' he paused looking around none of the trees or pillars were leaning together and most on the ground were shattered an
[2nd January 2120 Saturday 9:12 am] "Mn..." Apex groaned in bed. He woke up and tried to push himself out of bed, only to flop. 'I need more power!' he tried again to push himself, but the urge to sleep was stronger! Flop! 'Uh, I can't win!' he struggled once more, with some epic music to fuel him. The song reached its best part. "Ha!" he pushed himself out of bed. He got up, looking back down. 'One minute wouldn't hurt,' [10:03 am] One minute became another until he fell back into sleep, "Yawn... I regret nothing." Moments later he left the shower with his phone in hand, "The hell is with the internet?" He checked YouTube the moment he entered and found a video on him to be on the recommended page. "Who is Apex? Frances hidden expert. Hahaha, I'm not hiding," he laughed changing himself and heading downstairs, on the table he found breakfast already made with a letter for him, "Thanks, dad." He scrolled more and paused
"Oh, he put the guides back up," Blackswan said checking the market like before. "Hold on, Apex!" Arnold called out to the pink man, "yes?" he turned back to the green dragonkin. "Are you going to attempt the Tre-Ent Dungeon?" he asked emphasising the word attempt. "Yes I am, and before you ask I plan on doing it solo," Apex didn't want to share the loots, and he was going to attempt every difficulty and wanted to do it alone. "What that's insane, you're insane! It doesn't work like that, you can't solo everything!" Satya shouted she felt like she just met the most egotistical person in her life thinking he could do anything alone because of some achievement that made him popular. Although some of her hate came from jealousy as she calculated how much he made honestly, and now he had just doubled that. "I beg to differ," Apex shrugged and left, he needed to learn his potion-making skill. ... Apex was sitting in a grey r
[Jaws Forrest]In the centre of said forest surrounded by trees was in itself a larger tree, but this one had a pitch-black opening in front this was the dungeon of the forest, the Tre-Ent Dungeon outside were a gathering of player forming groups to tackle the dungeon, and inside a group of five were hard at work fighting wooden wolves.Pak! -77Re-bunny dashed and stabbed one of the wolves in the side with her knife and kicked it away.Her friend black swan was also fighting against a wolf of her own and in-between as Arnold the green dragonkin holding an Iron shield facing three on his own."Satya!" he shouted to the elf behind him."I know!" she waved her staff and a green light surrounded him. He shouted to the wolves a red aura forced itself on them drawing them to him, and he swung with his sword slashing all three.-76! -76! -87!Eventually, after their hard thought battle, all the wood wolves died.Finally, Satya
"Holy shit!" outside the dungeon in the jaws forest camping beneath a tree was a group of four these were the saviour guild and that shout belonged to Arnold.He out of the three were shocked watching the video of Apex's beat down against the group of 10.Satya the elf glared at him, "Did you have to shout like that?""I'm not apologising to any man seeing a stick shoved up another guy's ass or kicked in the balls can feel his pain, my shout is justified."She crossed her arms mumbling, "I wish you felt that pain," to herself.Besides the two where the red fox woman Blackswan, the silver fox woman Re-Bunny were scrutinising the video ignoring their friend's comments.Blackswan nodded to herself having learned something, "I think we should send this to all our guild members," she said to her friend.Agreed, "The way he fights..." Re-Bunny said."He's got anger issues for one, and two this isn't a game I just realised that from w
They botch clashed shaking the roots beneath them their continuous exchange of blows reverberated in the air! 'Damn! For being made out of wood your seriously tough!' He grunted dodging beneath one of its massive swings slashing upwards! -80! 'Yes!' this wooden yeti has 80 Energy meaning its attack and defence were the same so long as it doesn't have an energy skill, and the ring of growth allowed him to increase his strength boosting his power to equalling the mini-boss. Slash, slash! "Roar!" A green aura pushed Apex back slamming against the moss walls. Crack! -20 Hp Health: 280/300 Mana: 200/200 Energy: 600/650 'That was magic,' He coughed up blood looking up at the Yeti it sunk its fists in the ground growing into vines wooden spikes started shooting up from the ground heading towards him. "Nope," he said flying back to gain distance, but it didn't stop the spikes from rooting, with a second glance he notice
