Date Created: Feb. 4, 2017

----------

Kian had been playing Dimensional Heroes Online for two weeks. At the same, a week had passed ever since he had enrolled in Shade Academy.

In the span of just a week, his levels rose many times. There was also a huge change in his atmosphere. Previously, he had a gloomy and quite atmosphere. However, there was already a tint of liveliness in his aura.

This can be attributed from the fact that he made some friends here and there, and also faced quite a few terrifying monsters.

In the middle of the forest, a huge corpse of a blue wolf laid. Suddenly, it disappeared into motes of light revealing a small and skinny figure. It was Kian who just killed the level 20 Lunar Wolf just now.

He was donned in a grey upper robes and grey pants. He also wore a choker and glasses. It was an expensive set of armor for Magi that can enhance magic attacks and also agility. The choker can has a calming effect to the mind and the glasses increases accuracy.

After killing the Lunar Wolf and reaching the peak of Level 20, he didn't turn excited. Instead, he became serious after a message appeared.

"Can I even finsih this quest? It's so hard. I can't kill a Warlock ranked monster!" his eyebrows furrowed and mouth slanted as he complained.

He thought it was impossible to rank up. After all, he can barely kill a level 20 monster. There was no need to think about killing a level 21.

He sighed before he closed the quest scroll.

"Do you have a problem Kian?" a voice suddenly sounded out behind him.

Kian couldn't help but jolt and jump back, his chest heaving up and down from the shock. He didn't expect somebody to sneak up behind without him noticing.

"O-oh. Bea, it's just you" Kian sighed when he saw that it was actually the black haired little beauty.

At the same time, Kian couldn't help but wonder how this girl could just pop up out of nowhere just like a mushroom. She was surely following him since she always showed up wherever he was.

"Nothing important. Just a ranking quest. It's just too hard to be finished" he shook off his thoughts and replied to her question. At the same time, he showed her the ranking quest.

After she read the contents, her eyes widened and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"This is too hard for a level 20 player. You've only been playing for two weeks right? No wonder" she couldn't help but nod her head as if she realized something.

"Yeah. Is there any problem with that?" he got worried and but Bea shook her head.

"There's no problem with that. It's just that the difficulty of your ranking quest depends on your gaming performance. No wonder it was so hard. It's the game's way of balancing the levels of players and give way for others to catch up." she explained.

Her words made Kian's eyebrows furrow.

"But isn't this a bit too hard? How can I finish this in just a few times? Plus, there's also the case of reaching 40 points in Magic and Spirit Points. But the larger your points are,the harder it is to increase it" He groaned, feeling that it was unfair, not noticing that he was already pouting.

Bea who saw this couldn't help but laugh. This flustered Kian who didn't know what was going on and was about to ask but Bea spoke first.

"Don't worry. The system doesn't give you any quests you can't finish. Ummm... I have a proposal if you don't mind" she said shyly.

It seems the word proposal made her think of a few things. Kian stiffened to when he heard her words. They turned silent for a few seconds before Kian decided to break it.

"W-what proposal?" Kian asked.

"I can help you kill those level 20 monsters. All you have to do is land a finishing blow. However, we can't party together or the system won't add it to your achievements. Basically, you have to KS my prey" she explained proudly.

This proposal was clever enough. Kian didn't think that this was actually possible. At the same time, he was glad that she proposed this or it'll take a long time for him to reach the Warlcock rank.

"Really, would you do that for me? Thanks!" his mouth formed a wide smile as he thanked her for the timely help.

She nodded while blushing.

"Thanks. Then the loot will be yours" he added.

"N-no need. You'll need them to buy the potions for raising your magic and spirit points." she shook her head.

Kian felt a bit troubled but didn't say anything after that. He indeed needed the Rune Stones to buy the potions. However, he also took note of this favor and swore on his heart to repay her as much as possible in the future.

After they made sure that everything was already settled, the two then marched deeper into the forest to enter the Hunting Area II.
