Chapter 43 - The Reward (1/2)

– 1 Wolf King’s Pelt

– 1 Wolf King’s Fang

– 1 Wolf King’s Gauntlets

– 1 Karu’s Necklace

“Nice!”

Fortunately, the Wolf King had dropped Karu’s Necklace. Soo Hyuk collected the drops and opened his quest tab.

When he scrolled down to the Karu’s Heirloom quest, he could see the ‘Complete’ button.

“I wish the other inheritance quests were this easy.”

Soo Hyuk currently had many other specials quests in his quest tab, but they were too difficult for him to complete at this point in time. While wishing that they were easier, Soo Hyuk completed the quest.

[You have completed the Special Quest – Karu’s Heirloom]

[Rewards Received.]

Soo Hyuk opened his inventory after he checked the message window. He wanted to know what the rewards were.

“……”

Soo Hyuk made a puzzled expression when he opened his inventory.

“What? A map?”

The reason for his puzzlement was because the reward was a map. Soo Hyuk checked the map description.

[<Heroic>Karu’s Treasure Map]

Soo Hyuk was filled with anxiety when he checked the description. It was too vague.

‘Heroic?’

Moreover, the rarity of the map was heroic. Not normal or rare, it was heroic. It was the next best rarity after God and Legend!

‘No, a map is still a map.’

Soo Hyuk pulled the map out, while trying to suppress his nervousness.

“……?”

When he opened the map, again his nervous expression was completely replaced with puzzlement.

‘Matab Library?’

The reason Soo Hyuk was puzzled, was because the words ‘Matab Library’ were written on the top of the map. Karu’s Treasure Map showed the interior of the Matab Library.

‘Huh, is there a treasure hidden in the library?’

A library? It was too unexpected, even for Soo Hyuk. He then spotted a red dot which marked the location of the treasure.

‘This is a bookshelf……’

The red dot was indicating a specific bookshelf. Why was it pointing at a bookshelf, which had nothing but books?

‘……No.’

Soo Hyuk tilted his head as he thought,

‘It probably won’t be another quest.’

It wouldn’t be another quest. There might be something hidden within.

‘What should I do?’

Soo Hyuk thought as he put away the map.

‘Should I go to the library now? Or should I keep hunting?’

According to his schedule, it was still time to hunt.

‘Well, I’ll go there anyway. Let’s keep hunting for now.’

Soo Hyuk decided. He was planning to go to the library after hunting anyway, but he met his next problem after deciding to keep hunting.

‘What should I hunt next?’

His problem was that he couldn’t decide what to hunt next. He had no reason to hunt wolves anymore, as he had already completed the quest related to them.

‘Let’s skip the bears.’

Normally, players at Soo Hyuk’s level would hunt bears, but from looking at the number of players crowding the entrance, he could already tell that it would be a waste of time.

‘Goblins? Treants?’

He had two options.The Goblin Fields in the Northern Hunting Grounds, or the Bloodless Forest west of the wolf territory. The Goblin Fields had monsters around level 20~40 and the Bloodless Forest had monsters around level 30~50.

‘Let’s just go to the Bloodless Forest, since it’s closer and the trees are weak to fire.’

After making up his mind, Soo Hyuk made his way out of the wolf forest. His destination was the home of the Treants, the ‘Bloodless Forest’.

Treant Habitat, The Bloodless Forest.

Monsters around level 30~50 inhabited the Bloodless Forest. They were…

– Graaahhh…….Raauuuggghhhh~

The Screaming Ironbarks, a zombie tree with screaming leaves and…

Clang! Clang!

The Bloodless Treants. Using their numerous whiplike branches and enormous mouths with deadly precision, they bullied players into submission. . Those were the two species of monster in the Bloodless Forest.

“Flame Dance.”

Soo Hyuk cast Flame Dance at the steadily advancing trees and a small ball of fire flew towards a Screaming Ironwood.

The Ironwood was instantly reduced to ashes and disappeared. The little fireball then reappeared and shot towards the Bloodless Treant. Like the Screaming Ironwood, the Bloodless Treant was incinerated in less than 3 seconds.

[Level Up!]

After the Bloodless Treant was killed a message window appeared. It was a level up notice. Soo Hyuk collected the drop items and opened his status window.

When Soo Hyuk had just completed ‘Karu’s Heirloom’ and first entered the Bloodless Forest, he had only reached level 18.

‘It’s really fast.’
