[Kages pov.]
Well that quest wasn't very difficult. *ping pling* I look at my Sliver as it displays a message:
"Congratulations on completing your first quest! You were team No.5 to complete quest: Establish a residence, You have been rewarded accordingly!" I glance to my left as 50 Chests fall from the sky, 20 Wooden, 20 Silver and 10 Gold outlined.
I barely get a chance to move before another message pops up.
"New quest!
Quest Name: Establish a Guild
*Note, Guild must have a Minimum of 10 members and consisting of atleast one medic.*
World time limit: N/A
Reward: TBD
Quest type: Mandatory"
"Well shit, No breaks for us eh?" I say looking over at Typhon still passed out beside the house. "Guess all that wracking did something to his body" I think outloud.
I sigh and sit down next to him, Back against the wood and for the first time since waking up I realize I have no clothes on.
*Ping Pling*
"Side quest:
Quest name: Aquire clothing
Time limit: 15 Hours
Penalty: Freezing to death
*Note, You are team No.1 to unlock this side quest.*
Reward: Life
Quest type: Mandatory."
"Welp, Guess there's that." I continue to think outloud.
I grab Typhon and sling him over my shoulder. After walking into the house I find a spot thats more reinforced than everywhere else and put him down to rest there.
After making sure he won't get killed whilst I'm gone I leave the house and walk into the forest.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
After an hour or so of walking I decide to stop and close my eyes to listen to the forest around me.
*Ping pling*
"FUCK"
*You have stumbled upon the lair of "Tale of the beasts"
This is a Z grade monster. You have 10 minutes before they awaken.*
"They??" Alarm bells are going off in my head as I pull up my Sliver "What Grade am I registered at"
*Ping pling*
*currently registered at "Wandering soldier grade" better known as "G-Grade"
With your current skill level you can take on opponents up to "Lower Z grade"*
"Damnit, This thing is probably Upper Z grade. Well fuck it, No time like the present." I say as I engulf my body with a lightning shroud and extend a flame to my blade.
*Legendary ability "Fight to survive" has been activated. With your level stamina you have 30 minutes with this ability before it dissipates.*
I try my hardest to locate it before it wakes up. Or well, "They" wake up.
After 6 Minutes I stumble upon a cave and as I enter it I hear a low, heavy grumble.
"Shit, Has it already been 10 minutes?" I say before hearing a small voice in my left ear "Jump" Before I can think my legs lift me off the ground as what looks like a tree trunk swipes directly where I was.
As I land I swing my fiery blade infront of my to try to see. As my blade reaches the peak of its crescent I see 6 glowing eyes.
I jump back into an area with more light as one of the pairs of eyes charge at me. *It's a bear?!* I dodge to the right and plung my blade into its side, Igniting its bodily fluids.
The bears fur is now on fire as it rears up and tries to pounce. I dodge to the left and then back. I lift my blade up infront of me and notice my left arm has a 5 inch cut from my elbow down towards my wrist.
*Ping pling*
*Damage taken, All physical stats have gone up due to the effects of "Fight to survive"*
"Well that's useful" I say through gritted teeth as I feint a slash down only to lunge forwards and strike the burning bear directly in the heart.
"Sliver!" I call out "Analyze the situation"
*pling*

"Well that's a big fucking Bear." I say as I swiftly dodge the second bears attack.
I lunge forward again as the second bear rears up, Intending to slay it in the same way as the first.
"You look down on me, Human"
I hear those words right before I hear in my left ear again "Left....Right....Below....Jump back"
I have barely a split second to react before an attack appears from every angle the voice foretold. As I land I pour more energy into my blade, turning the fire white.
*Pling*
*Damage taken, Stamina has increased accordingly*
I feel a surge of energy rush through my body as I notice a gash on my chest.
I dash in and feint both a right and left swing into a pierce. I barely scrape the bear as my blade ignites its fur and it screams out in pain. My blade plunges into the ground as I land with both hands on the hilt.
I wince, Momentarily remembering my two wounds I acquired my chest throbs and my arm gives out but for a moment.
"Ditch the blade, On your right"
*That damned voice again*
Though I may dislike it, Again I obey. I dash to the left and jump back, Leaving my beautiful blade in the soil.
The bear half growls as I raise my fists and motion with my fingers for him to come towards me.
He charges and I dodge down-right and uppercut to the armpit then a quick left strike to a pressure point, Disabling that arm.
Of course this action lands me a paw square to the face, knocking me onto the cold hard dirt. I groan in pain as a stabbing sensation shoots through my wounds. I didn't even need to hear this noise this time, I got an upgrade.
I get up and dodge back as I make a circular motion with my left arm on my right shoulder, stretching and cracking it. I dash to the left of the bear and sucker punched his groin.
Then with my left fist I punch under his ribs and my right foot plants a kick to his kidney before I jump back. As I'm boxing this bear I use my Sliver to send a message to Typhon.
"... ___ ... 1.7800048764N :-;0.238782210048W"
I mark the message as urgent before wiping blood from my mouth and taunting the bear.
