《Eternal Soul》Chapter-05
Advertisement
Nodding to himself after looking at his stats, he raised his strenght, agility and vitality, while leaving the other stats since he don't know which build he will use.
Strenght raise your attack power; dexterity raise precision on the movement, which means it's something that only crafter and long-range users will use so he didn't need it; agility raise the character speed; intelligence raise the speed in which the skill level up and make the mana points regeneration faster; magic power increase the mana pool(MP) and make the spell more strong; vitality is a little tricky since the damage system in this game is a little different from the others, it increases the body defence and raise the speed of health points(HP) regeneration.
The system that this game uses don't exacty has the HP, every character, don't matter how over-powered it's, players, NPCs, monsters, it don't matter, all of them will have only 100/100 Health Points, you could say it's the "blood" inside the body, and about the mana, only mages know exactly how much mana they have inside them, while some warrior use skills that cost mana, they will have a feeling of hunger when their mana empty.
「Kill the trolls- 10/10
Quest completed. Go talk to the village chief about your rewards.」
Closing his menu, Grekorio turn his eyes to the blade that he used to kill all the 10 trolls, looking at its tattered state, he sighed, and shaking his head while thinking,'What a cheap sword. But it's was free not like i can complain. Maybe i should try my hand in smithing again, smelt this sword, and buy some ores with the coin that i will probably get from the Chief and craft a better one... Oh, i can't forget that i need to get the Inspect skill again, how did i get it back then?'

While distracted in his thoughts he don't notice the trails of trolls next to him, neither will Gerald say something.
It didn't take long before Grekorio regret getting distracted when they strumble into 4 trolls.
"We are in danger."Gerald spoke
"No shit!"
They not getting the suprise element is something that has not happened in the past, which mean that Grekorio don't have experience with this kind of situation, so he panicked, forgetting to unsheathe his sword, and only reacting to the troll attack when it's already upon him.
Jumping back in a hurry, only to end with his back against a tree, not knownig what to do, could only unsheathe his sword and put it in horizontally in front of his chest, to defend against the attack.
The clash between the sword and the Hammer-like branch resulted in Grekorio being embedded in the tree behind him,while coughing blood and thought,'This game got pretty realistic.',while thinking that, he try to get himself out of the tree only to be meet with a swing from the troll again.
Hurriedly rolling to the side, and getting up he feels danger from behind him, he crouch down and try to use the opening after the swing and shove the sword in the troll's throat, but before he could do that, he see from the corner of his eye the other one coming at him.
Grekorio look around in search for a way out of this situation, only to find trees, and Gerald fighting the other 2 trolls.
'Only trees..' looking at the trees a plan came to him, a dumb plan, but still a plan.
So Grekorio started to act according to his plan, and "luring" the trolls to a place where there are 3 trees together.

With a tree behind him and a troll in front of him, could only be said to be a desperate situation yet Grekorio is smiling as if everything went according the plan.
The troll swing the hammer-like branch, Grekorio jumps to the side, and the troll hit the tree behind him, it angrily roar for missing its target all the time, feeling so annoyed, it let that feeling flow in it's next attack, but it forget about the comrade who's helping it in killing the annoying thing that keep jumping around.
The branch from the two troll clash, momentarily distracting them, Grekorio use this chance to go around the tree and climb it as high as he could before the trolls recovered.
After climbing around 4 meters, which is a safe distance from the trolls since they will probably not look up, and find a branch to stay and wait for the right moment.
The trolls recovered and realize that the annoying little thing isn't around anymore, they searched around the trees not noticing the stare from Grekorio.
Feeling that this is the right time, Grekorio jump down, and use a drop kick at one troll while throwing the sword at the one who's is showing its back to him.
The one who received the drop kick, dropped face down in the ground while the one with a sword sticking is letting out a shrill scream while trying to pull out the sword from its back.
Grekorio hurried to take back his sword, putting his hand on the hilt he push the sword more deep in the troll's body making it's scream come to a end, and the other one recovering from the drop kick try to get up, Grekorio obviuosly not giving it a chance thrust the sword with all his strength in it nape, killing it.
'Fuck, this game became so realistic that it's becoming annoying, and i think that the trolls are a little more intelligent this time, maybe it's because we didn't attacked in suprise this time.' while complaining inside him, he start to collect the loot, which is only the branchs that the trolls use, but this time he notice something inside the clothes of one troll, taking it from the dead troll and unwrapping the cloth around it.
He is assaulted with a golden light that hurted his eyes, after the light fades a little, he can see a ore in golden color, not knowing what this is he approach Gerald and try to ask.
"It's Deep Gold Ore, and is found only in places around 30km below the surface, but you can try to show this to the Chief maybe it can be useful to him." Gerald answered.
'So this is a Quest Item, maybe this is a quest line, kill the trolls, find something in the trolls, report to the village, and he will give you another quest related to the ore, maybe sending you to a mine or something.' Again starting his monologues, he start to walk distracted again in direction of the village.
This time luckily there was no accident, and after arriving in the village the first go to the elder to report his quest, and get some rewards.
