Zeke kept venturing in the village , searching for what he was searching, passing through he saw many different kinds of stalls some selling , weapons , animal skins and food.
Zeke wasn't interested in any of it he had a perfect sword for him and as for other things he didn't particularly cared , although he was very eager to try the food in this game but he controlled himself and focused on the task at hand .
Zeke almost roamed the whole village but still couldn't find what he was looking for , all he needed was a mask and a place where he could sell the skin of Gray wolves he had killed .
The village was quite big and it took a lot of time for him to roam around , and Zeke was starting to think that maybe there was no shop in this village which could offer something good , at that moment Zeke spotted a small tavern at the very end of the village , this place look isolated for some reason , and that got zeke curious so he decided to take a look.
Zeke approached the tavern and entered , what met him inside was something he didn't expect , the tavern was full of people ,tables were full , people were eating and drinking , it was completely something he didn't expect , outside the whole place was isolated and inside it was beaming with life .
Zeke stood there scanning the whole inside of tavern , zeke thought maybe the food of this place must be quite good for this place to be so packed .
Zeke was lost in his thought at that moment someone approached him , zeke looked up and the moment he saw who it was his heart skipped a beat , it was a girl who was very beautiful , zeke has never seen someone so beautiful as her , at that rime Zeke came to a realization maybe the girl in front of him might be the reason this place is so packed .
The Girl spoke first saying " What i can i get you " , even her voice was so sweet any man could be entranced by it .
Zeke stood dumbfounded for a moment and then.cleared his throat , and said " Um.. I'm not here to eat , I'm new in this village so can You tell where can I send some monster skin in this village " .
The Girl looked at Zeke and said " Oh , so you are new , its fine can you show me what kind of monster skin do you want to sell maybe , i can help you with it " .
Zeke considered the girl's words for a moment , should he show it to her or not , he wasn't sure how can a girl like her would help him ,or maybe she knew someone who buys tgses monster skin .
Zeke said " Alright but not in front of everyone ".
The girl nodded and said " Follow me ".
Zeke followed the girl , as she ws leading him through the place and reached the counter , then she signaled him to come inside , zeke quietly entered and then , she started walking towards a room at the corner , zeke just followed her .
The girl entered the room and signaled zeke to enter too , zeke looked at her for a moment and then entered , the girl closed the door behind and with the clasp of her hands she said , now lets get to buisness.
Zeke took out the monster hide of Gray wolves and put it on the table in front of him and said , " I have only three of them , so now tell me , where should I sell it " .
The Girl examined them for a short while and said " I'll give you 13 cels , a piece " .
Zeke said " You are saying you will buy these from me , why you are only a worker in this tavern , so what use do you have of these skins " .
The girl said " You should only concern yourself with money , and it's not like I'm asking you to give it to me for free , I'm paying so what do you say , if I say for myself it's a price no one will offer you " .
Zeke said without a hesitation " 30 cels each".
The girl was stunned and said " 30 cels ,no one will ever give you that much money for a monster skin like this one , its not even a rare monster that you hunted , its just a gray wolf's hide , i will give you 18 cels each , tbis is as far as I can give you " .
Zeke instantly denied saying " 28 cels " .
The girl said " 20 cels ".
Zeke said " I will take 26 cels , and its my last take , give me the amount I'm asking and you can have these hides for yourself , from the looks of it you need these 3 hides for some reason and I'm not someone who will lose something for someone else's sake ".
The girl frowned and said " Umm.. Can't u lower your take i really need it " .
Zeke said " Give 25 cels now and we both can go our ways ".
The girl was hesistant she bit her lip and then she handed Zeke the 75 cels .
Zeke took the money from the girl and said " It was pleasure doing buisness with you ".
Zeke tend to leave but he stop , he turned around and said " Now i think about it , i don't know your name " . , zeke asked the girl clearly curious about her name .
The girl looked at zeke for a moment , then she stood uo from the chair and said " I'm Belle , it was nice meeting you " .
Zeke looke at her and said " Belle , it was also nice to meet you " , with that he turned around and left the room , slowly making his way outside the tavern , once outside the tavern zeke took a sigh of relief ,he glanced back at the tavern one last time and then went his own way .
Back inside the tavern Belle was still inside the room , sitting on the chair lost in thought , at that moment a man entered the room and said " Who was that Guy , who came before me ".
Belle looked up and said " He came to ask if there's someone who will buy monster hide, so i asked him to show me , and then i asked him to sell it to me , it's the gray wolf hide nothing special but we needed it so i bought it although i have to pay 75 cels for 3 hides , at least i secured it ".
The main squinted his eyes and said " 75 cels on just gray wolfs hide , i can't believe he made you pay that much money although it isn't that much money to us but still , did you get that guy's name " .
Belle said " He told his name is Zeke , although it's my first time seeing him he doesn't look like someone of this village , maybe he is a traveller and stayed in this village for a while , well we know that sooner or later if he was telling the truth or he was being cautious and hid his true name " .
Belle stood up and said to the man " Shall we , now we got what we wanted let's not waste any more time " .
Belle moved toward a cupboard and opened it inside it was usual , the clothes and some stuff but in the next moment Belle pushed the inside of the cupboard and then it moved to the side behind it was a passage that was leading into the basement only Belle and the man in the room were only aware of this place , Belel then turned toward the man and said " Let's go " .
Both of them entered and then disappeared into the darkness below , on the other hand Zeke was leisurely strolling in the market again , he had achieved what he came for he sold the skin of monsters but he still couldn't find a mask , Zeke thought its best if he should hunt and increase his strength , Zeke didn't know how much time he would spend inside the game so he wanted to avail it .
Zeke quickly made his way towards the village entrance and left , he went the same way he went before deep into the woods .
Zeke didn't let his guard down just because he took down 3 monster's first , he stayed cautious and didn't let those 3 kills went to his head.
Zeke slowly but steady explore the forest hoping to find some monsters to level up , after searching for almost an hour zeke came across a cave , where he saw two monsters with a torch in their hands .
Zeke hiding in the bushes understood that inside that cave must be something , there is no reason for monsters to stand guard if there wasn't something inside , zeke carefully watched them for a while .
Zeke watched for over an hour that maybe something or someone might exit or enter the cave but nothing , zeke was getting frustrated not from the situation in front of him , the reason was that he didn't know how much time has left for him inside before he is logged out himself , he didn't want to miss this chance of getting stronger when he had the chance because of the time limit .
Zeke didn't wanted someone else to find this place although he didn't know what was inside the cave , he didn't want any other players to venture deep and discover this place , if there were monsters inside he will kill them himself so that he can get stronger , if other player's get to know of this location it will certainly become a problem , and who k ows where will i spawn next time when I'm logged out so i want to level up at least one more time before I'm out , with that determination Zeke launched a spells 'Thunderstrike ' and ' Thunderflame ' simultaneously .
Both of his spells were fast and the monsters couldn't react because they didn't see it coming , the spell didn't make a noise and they both died without making any noise , and to confirm it he heard a similar voice inside his head .
[ Ding !]
[ You have killed 2 , Level 3 Goblins ]
[ 2+ Strength ]
A smile came on Zeke's face , which meant he was satisfied , then Zeke muttered " So, the name of this monster is Goblin " .
Zeke then said again " I don't know about monsters inside the game , when i get back out of game i should see the manual that was inside of it then , i will know what monster i might be fighting " .
Zeke then came out of the bushes and said " Let's see what these monsters were standing, guard were for " , with that Zeke entered the cave , picking the torch from beside the dead Goblin .
