Somewhere in a forest outside Luxen City.

Woo-chak!

Beeeaaak!

Thud.

An arrow shot through the air and landed on the chest of a Bukaroo, causing the bird to cry out in pain before it fell to the ground and drew its last breath.

"Great shot, Gaze!" a cute female voice squealed.

Gaze, a boy 15 years old of age with a Copper I pendant around his neck holding a bow on his hand and carrying a quiver over his shoulders, went over to the dead bird.

He knelt down and offered a small prayer.

"I thank the Gods for this knowledge and experience they bestowed upon me..."

He then extracted the arrow, took out a knife from his thigh and sliced off the tail of the bird before turning around and showing it off to his companions; a male and a female.

"9 pieces more!" he announced with a bright smile on his face.

"And then we can go back to the guild to get our reward!" the female said excitedly.

"Don't worry, Felize, it will be over in no time! We can probably even sneak in another Quest!" Gaze replied.

"Sure!" Felize said.

Just like Gaze, Felize was also 15 years old with a Copper I pendant around her neck. She held a spiked club and wooden shield on her hands.

"Guys, isn't this weird?" a male voice interjected.

Both Gaze and Felize looked at him.

It was a boy who was also 15 years old with a Copper I pendant around his neck. He was carrying a spear and was quite tall, towering over at 5'11.

"What do you mean?" Felize said.

"This forest is supposed to be abundant with monsters because they're weak and aren't aggressive. But there's hardly any monsters that are alive. Most of them are all dead with some still fresh and others a day old or more than that."

"So?"

"It's just weird. It took us more than 30 minutes just to find a single monster alive," he said and then turned to Gaze. "Out of the three of us, you're the one with the most experience in dealing with carcasses. Didn't you also say that most of them weren't even extracted?"

Felize became silent. As a matter of fact, the other 5 tails that they gathered were from Bukaroo corpses.

"Maybe some people were training here or something," Gaze said.

"But isn't it a crime to overhunt?" Torr said.

Gaze nodded.

"That's true. But it's also true that we're now Adventurers."

Torr didn't say anything.

"Do you remember what Instructor Shay and the other veteran Adventurers told us? One of the most important skills you need to learn as an Adventurer is to adapt to whatever situation you're thrown in. Whoever caused all this, although it's a crime, they're clearly a group who isn't afraid of the law. And as embarrassing as this may sound, I don't think we're that strong to go against them if we encounter them. For now, let's just focus on completing the Quest that we have."
