Chapter 11 Part2 (1/2)
TL: In case anyone’s wondering the author hasn’t updated in 11 months, and there are 63 chapters published so far.
I’m regretting it.
The place I’m brought to earlier is the city’s sewers, and the quest that I received is the removal of Wererats. It’s a mouse hunt.
There’s no problem in defeating them as the Wererats are around level 1~2. Rather, I should not be partaking in this quest when I consider my level. But since I got it, I enter the sewers in order to see it to the end properly.
However, I find out that the speed in getting rid of the Wererats is horrible because of the other players present in the sewers. I’m unable to fill up the quota for the Quest Clear.
To solve that problem, I start thinking of hunting deeper in the sewers where there won’t be as many people&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;
Even though I won’t get tired in the game, and receive nothing more than vibrations in the case of pain, but the sense of smell was completely replicated here.
It’s as if the sewers have been faithfully recreated and the smell is awful. I feel like I’m walking in poison and want to puke.
In any case, I move further in to finish the quest as soon as possible.
Even though there’s no light, I have the Map Window, and I feel it’s okay if I stick with Fleming’s left-hand rule and walk along the wall. I immediately realize it was an extremely naive idea. I know where my current position is and where the exit and entrances are because of the Map Window. It is why I am unable to imagine why that idea is naive.
The answer is simple.
There are obstacles in the area which are not displayed in the Map Window. The Map Window is just something like a rough map of the area, which is why it is not displaying the sewer rubbish in the vicinity.
Inevitably--
*Crash--*
I trip and fall because of the rubbish.
If there’s a light, I think there won’t be a problem in avoiding the rubbish, and I would be free from being painted with the underground sewer’s water.
I have no choice but to get up and proceed further in. Surely from now onwards I will still have to go adventuring in caves and dark s.p.a.ces. A torch or lantern or some form of illuminating tool is needed.
I want to finish the quest quickly, so I move with a single thought to find a mouse.
After a while, I find myself at the limits of my tolerance as I come to a crossroad. I really need to breathe in fresh air, and not be in a place with a rotting smell like this.
I stop and think.
The quota to clear the quest has gone up as I hunted them along the way, and I need just a few more to clear it.
Should I go back to the entrance and hunt along the way-- Hmm.
I decide to change my plan and return to the entrance instead. I can still endure this much&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; But first I want to breathe in fresh air.
