Chapter 7: Protect your homeland!

I groggily opened my eyes... But when I did not a single thing changed. I tried opening and closing my eyes but everything just stayed black.

[Are you ready?]

Well, this was a lot different from what I was expecting... But still, it was fine. I looked over my stats nodding. 

They were worse than the ones I had usually besides will but still, I could make it work. So what were my strengths? Well, my swordsmanship was an obvious one. It was so much higher than my others. But for this quest, I should try to raise my other skills too. 

Strengthening would be a good one to do. Sure it guzzled mana but if I had to defend my homeland it would be useful for attacking. 

And of course, my defensive skills would be good too. I should try to use those if I'm pushed on the defensive. But I should be okay. And I even had another potion. I bet I would get those from the shop. 

Well for now I should just accept the quest. 

"Yes, I'm ready," I said nodding. 

Everything seemed to burst into existence. 

[Quest has been given. Defend your homeland!]
Objective: Defeat the invaders 0/8
Rewards: ???
Failure: ???

[Accept Y/N?] 

"Come on! The bandits are coming! They'll be here soon enough!" I felt a strong hand grab my shoulder pulling me back. 

I saw a man I had never seen before in my life... He was slightly older than me. Well not slightly. He was 50-ish but he was holding a shortsword in his other hand. 

"Y-yeah! Got it! Let's go." I said nodding. He nodded and let go of me before turning away. 

I immediately stood up. But I felt... Different. My normal armor and outfit was instead replaced with some crude leather armor. But still it was better than nothing. 

I also had a sword at my side but this one was very similar to my own. I drew it looked back towards the old man. 

Well looks like it was only me and him... Nothing else was in my sight. 

The sword was well-weighted. Not as good as my own but still. It would do. So I held my sword in one hand and followed after him. 

When I did he seemed to start moving slower and slower before stopping behind a bush and I did the same. Looking through it I saw a group of exactly 8 men in mismatched weapons and armor. 

"They'll reach our village if they keep on this path for about an hour... We have an element of surprise. We need to get as many as we can do. Alright?" He asked. 

I looked at him still slightly shocked. What the hell was happening? Well if I had defeat these 8 guys it was odd. 8 vs 1 I stood no chance. And if this was a quest they had to give me a chance.
