Chapter 93 Run! Shadow Dance! (1/2)

When Michael entered the apartment, he could hear the TV running some late night program from the living room.

He walked over to the living room and saw that Alice had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

Michael then took a blanket from a nearby cabinet, and covered her with it, before making his way over to his bedroom, and entered his gaming cabin as he still had two more hours to play before the limit is reached.

Shua!

Michael appeared near a rundown village in the middle of the Forest of Despair, but it wasn't abandoned, as its another village of High Orcs, similar to the ones that the people from Blackskull was trying to raid before.

Michael even wondered if they actually succeeded on it, but at the same time, he felt that they probably didn't as he even needs to thread carefully around here, and travelling in a large group would make them have a huge target on their backs, especially if they stumbled upon a monster territory, whom the owners are very territorial.

After all, Michael had already experienced getting chased by a pack of large wolves before, and he even almost gotten himself killed if it wasn't for his [Shadow Dance] skill that managed to save his small life.

And getting chased by a pack of Level 25 monsters isn't a pleasant experience.

So what is Michael doing here?

Well, he's planning to steal something from the High Orc Chief of this tribe, which is something he needs to do to finish a quest he had received before he ventured inside the Forest of Despair.

Of course, he could have just did it with another tribe, but this is the weakest tribe so far that Michael had encountered inside the forest, so it he decided to target this one, as he was already too deep inside the forest and monsters are already growing stronger.

Well, maybe the tribe in front of him is not weak though, they just have fewer numbers than the few similar tribes he encountered so far, but the fewer their numbers are, the better for him as he could sneak inside better even though it would be of much difficulty as the higher the level of the monsters are, the more sensitive they are towards their surroundings.

Michael then pulled out his dagger from its sheath and reloaded a bolt to his small crossbow attached to his left armguard.

He then snuck through a hole in the wall that he discovered before and went passed it, a rundown wall that protects this Orc Village, and what greeted him pass that are huge thatched huts with wide entrances.

After all, Orcs are at least two times the size of normal human adult, they're that big.

'Ugh, this place is so disgusting' Michael thought in disgust, as he smelled the pungent smell coming from the scattered carcasses and sh*ts around the place.

'Humans must have been like this too...during ancient times' he thought before he started sneaking around the village, carefully sneaking pass the High Orcs who are either sleeping or just walking around the place.

Then Michael successfully arrived near a huge thatched hut in the middle of the village, where he could hear someone or something snoring loudly from the inside, that Michael could even see the hut shuddering lightly.

'Now then...how do I sneak inside?' Michael thought carefully, as he knew that one tiny mistake could lead to his death and would waste the time he used to travel all the way here.

'What a troublesome quest' Michael cursed, and thought how stupid he might have been by taking this almost impossible quest.
