With the loud noises of the battlefield, Roy could not hear Hawk’s words. However, the knight archer’s frantic gestures gave him all the information he needed. Roy followed the direction Hawk pointed at and he saw an army of men running toward them from the left flank.
“Marth!” Roy gestured to the knight captain before pointing toward John’s men.
As Marth saw the incoming army, he barked out his orders, “Careful! Disengage from the bear immediately!”
Panic set ...

Within the dense trees of Everlast forest, two men were sitting across from each other. The first one was a portly middle-aged man wearing a sweater made of wool and a pair of trousers. They were bloody, dirty, and cut in multiple places, but they did the job. The other man was wearing plated armor that clanked with each movement.
“Shouldn’t we be back there helping them?” Derek, the portly middle-aged man spoke out in frustration. “What use is there just staying here?”

The rest of the afternoon continued as planned. Alfonse’s group helped put the villagers inside the dungeon before joining up with Roy and Marth. The sun was about to set when the fighters were fully ready for combat.
“Hawk, since you’re going to be using a bow, I need you to take a vantage point far away,” Marth pointed at trees far from where they put the booby trap. “I also need you to keep an eye on the surrounding, we don’t want other monsters to come in while we’re f...

With Fred and Conrad gone to the forest, Roy made his way toward Jeff’s house. As he looked around at the villagers going back and forth doing their chores, the weight of his responsibility grew even more clear.
I can’t fuck up right now. If I fuck up all of them will suffer.
Roy walked through a land bridge across the trench that surrounded the tailor’s house. The wooden spikes were no longer to be seen as Marth and his group took them to the lake. As they had plan...

“That’s not the only good thing,” Jack chuckled before gesturing at Tyler with his head, “Show him what we got.”
Tyler took off his backpack before taking out a black coat.
“Look at this beauty,” Tyler smiled as he showcased the coat. “Even the wealthiest merchants don’t wear something this fancy, and I have seen a lot.”
The black coat was adorned with silver-white fur that reminded Roy of the Crescent Wolf. Even the fabric itself had a moon and celestial...

Hearing Roy’s laugh, Hassan raised an eyebrow and walked over, “What kind of idea did you have? You got me interested.”
Roy pointed at the entrance of the dungeon, “That dungeon, whenever I enter it, the monsters are in the same place. I never saw those wolves ever move from their place before we reach them.”
“Yeah, and?” Jack asked confused, “What’s the big idea?”
“Wait, I’m just getting there,” Roy clicked his tongue before continuing, “Since th...

“It’s them. We killed two of their knights.”
Roy took a few seconds to process the words that were just spoken to him, “Wait, two of their knights? How many were there?”
“Five,” Hassan responded. “They were a squad of five.”
“Wait, wait, I don’t understand,” Robb cut in. “Why did you guys fight? We can’t be making problems today.”
“They wanted to imprison us for treason,” Jack was the one to respond. “It was my decision to fight them...

“Congratulation, you have unlocked an achievement.”
Solo Clear

You have cleared a small scale dungeon without the help of any teammate.
Reward:

Roy chuckled at the unexpected boon, “These achievements are so weird. They appear at the weirdest moments.”
After the floating words disappeared, Roy walked with confident steps toward the silver treasure chest. As he opened...

With the task of digging the trench on his shoulders, Roy and his two friends immediately got to work. The first task was to mark the space that they would need to dig through. They used branches and pieces of wood to draw a semi-circle around the lake.
With the task of marking the trench complete, they took up their shovel, pickaxes, and mattocks and started digging through the soil. With their superhuman strength, they were able to cut through the roots with ease and rapidly dig throu...

The first rays of sunlight cracked through the horizon and illuminated the village. As dawn broke, both the villagers and fighters woke up to begin their day. Jacob walked out the door and sat down next to Roy and Robb on their usual bench. He took out his pipe and lit it before looking at Roy, “You wanna try?”
Roy looked at the pipe in the doctor’s hand for a few seconds before nodding, “Sure, let me try. I never smoked before.”
Jacob chuckled before handing Roy his pip...

With the dungeon now cleared, Roy put both the staff and the mana poton inside his backpack. He then walked with his friends toward the now familiar white portal. As Roy put one foot in, words floated in front of his face.
“Congratulation on your clear. You will be rewarded with 300 red monster gems (tax not included) (Available once you become an official citizen of a territory).”
Roy was pleasantly surprised by the increased reward. Even though he still didn...

With a mighty howl, darkness shrouded the room before being pierced by the moonlight. What stood before them was not one wolf or two, but a full pack of five. Roy’s mind blanked as he saw the mighty beast multiply into five clones.
Hearing Alfonse take a step back, Roy turned to see his friend’s face pale as a sheet. The others were not doing much better.
Understanding the severity of the situation, Roy’s face relaxed and he spoke with a calm and collected voice, “Focus. C...

Roy’s group of friends split up with Marth, his knights, and Peter. They immediately went to the Wolf Den dungeon and chose the normal difficulty. When they entered, they found the same dark cave that they already cleared on the easy difficulty.
“So it’s just gonna be stronger monsters that we have to fight?” Jack looked around and asked.
“Guess so,” Robb shrugged his shoulders. “Also, how are we gonna be fighting? Usually, I just go in alone with Roy as a backup.”...

Just as the thought sprung in his mind, Roy shook the idea out of his head. There was no way to know whether it would be effective, and if he was wrong, he would spell death to all who followed him.
While Roy was stuck in his thoughts, he noticed that there was no more noise. He looked back in the direction where the bear was only to find him gone. He then saw all of his group members slowly walking toward the east. Following their line of direction, he could see the red bear strolling ...

With their meeting now over, Roy and his band made their way downstairs and out of Roger’s house. The three groups were sitting around talking with each other and catching up. This was one of the few moments where they could truly rest afterall, the rest of their time was spent either hunting or patrolling.
Looking at their tired faces, Roy smiled wryly. I should probably have them sleep well tonight, they can’t fight the bear half-asleep.

“Good luck.”
With those words from Roy, he jumped up to the rooftop of a nearby house along with Robb. The two then sat down and watched the two young boys facing the green ogre.
“Roar!”
The ogre, mad with rage, charged at the first thing he could see in front of him. Unfortunately, that was Lorenz. The young boy looked with horror at the wrathful beast before turning around and running with all his might.
Hearing the sound of the ogre’s footstep right behind...

With Derek being in a stable condition, Roy entered the meeting room and opened his new backpack on the ground. He put all of the red monster gems that they had gathered today inside, before taking out the two scrolls and the rest of the gems from the jar. After making sure that everything was nice and tidy in his backpack, Roy put the silver iron inside the jar, else it wouldn’t have taken too much space.
Now ready to continue his nocturnal hunt, Roy went down the stairs and met up w...

As Roy and the two groups reached Roger’s house, they found Robb standing next to the stairs.
“Is he in the room?” Roy walked up and asked.
Robb nodded before looking at the room upstairs. “Mr. Jacob is taking care of him right now. He told me not to worry, Jaimie’s injuries were much worse and he recovered in a day.”
Both Fred and Alfonse let out a sigh of relief. Alfonse looked up at their usual meeting room with a complicated expression, “Good. I’m glad th...

“Awoo!”
The boss’s howling snapped Roy out of his reverie. He took his longsword and dashed toward the incoming wolf. Claws and steel clashed with a flurry of sparks. Even though Roy wasn’t as strong or as fast Robb, he was still able to block the beast’s attacks with relative ease. His feet were light and always moving, allowing to dodge all incoming bites.
After half a minute of constant back and forth, Jaimie found an opportunity and pounced on it. Roy and the beast w...

“Wow, that fireball is just always so cool.” He then whispered. “So bright...”
Roy shrugged his shoulders, “You wanna fight the next ones?”
“Yeah, let me fight them alone,” Jaimie nodded.
Roy smiled before standing up and walking deeper into the cave, while Jaimie followed right after him. After a couple of minutes,...

Clark smiled at Marth’s words, “I thought we were going to keep it as a surprise.”
“Ah, I’m sorry,” Marth scratched his head. “I was too impatient and wanted to share the news.”
By this point, Roy was more than interested, “Come on, tell us what kind of skills you got? You got me curious now.”

Jaimie’s eyes opened wide as Jeanie’s makeshift knife changed trajectories from his chest to his belly. It was already too late to dodge, so the young man just flexed his abdominal muscles and braced for impact. However, rather than implanting the piece of wood in his belly, Jeanie went even lower.
Jaimie’s expression froze as terrible thoughts sprouted from his mind. However, rather than future-kid-destroying pain, what snapped the young man was a cute little scream followed by a...
