The Cursed Paradise (Edentia Online)

Chapter 10

I sit there on the floor, in front of me was a remains from the twin. I took a last glance at the sky castle, it's time to move on and not looking back. But, what would I do now ? I'm all alone. I let out a sigh, and scrolled the map. Setted from [My location] to the nearest settlement [Gemova] city, second city in Edentia. I wished that I coud meet up with someone there.

The view of greenish meadow, wild flowers blooming, and warm breeze, it's been spring here in Edentia. I put off the heavy cloak, and placed it on my inventory. Blue clear sky, thin clouds painted in pixels. I stepped at the muddy road, snow slowly thawed. I saw some rabbits emerged from their burrow, they have white fur with a black spot in the eye, the rabbits also have long tails like a rat, but their ears are shorter than the real rabbits, quirky. Just in time my stomach growled. I changed my sword into dagger, the one that Tyler's belonging.

As I saw the map, more red dots appeared, red dots signalling an enemy. I also saw some white dots, it means that other player are nearby. When I was still partying with Tyler and Rango, their dots are green. The guild ones, well I never joined a guild.

A rabbit came near me, It stared at me with big black eyes, these innocent look made me feel quilty to kill this creature, but it just a game. surprisingly it started to bite me with it's sharp fangs. I sliced its head, if other were disappeared into dusts and nothing, it leaved some meaty textures.

[Rabbids meat] *2 stored into your storage.

Purchase meat recipe (beginner) and [Cooking utensils] for 300 [Gold] ?・yes ・no

A recipe ? A cookbook ? I never heard those features in the game. Well I could try cooking here, since I'm quite good at cooking.

△First lesson△

{Rabbids satay} 10 mins cooking, requires 12 [Rabbids meat].

Lesson ? that mean there are cooking skills in this game. Quite interesting. I saw more and more Rabbids approaches me, they seem angered when one of their friend died. One jumped toward me, when it about to reach my head, I stabbed its belly.

4 left.. I swaying my sword to the Rabbids which swinged its tail to whip me out.

3 left.. the litlle ones head butted me, I threw the dagger.

2 left..

and 1.. this one is transformed three times bigger that it's actual size, its health bar was longer, [Mother Rabbids] was shown on the top of the heatlh bar.

"uh oh.. sorry maam I don't meant to make you angry." I said nervously. It roared loud, I fell to the ground, the sword trembled in my hand. It leaped near me and showing its fangs, I rolled back to avoid its attack. I heard a clangorous sound of an axe.

"I got you now, don't worry." a man with heavy tone said to me. He was a [warrior] holding dual wield axe, he was broad shouldered, with muscled body. His hair was brownish. With a swing the monster has fallen. " Yeay big ones has fallen." he turned his head, staring me "I guess you're hunting for food right ?" I nodded "Okay, can you cook this ?" dumbly I nodded. "Yeah, we could have a dinner tonight. Come with me." he dragged me to the city

"you got to be kidding me" I frowned.

The city walls are made of wooden logs, moss decorated it. The city is smaller compared to hte [hastille] ones. A statue of a male holding a hammer and a girl holding an axe was placeed at the city entrance. Mostly are warriors who inhabbited here, that made sense with the statue, I as amazed with the city scenery. I wish I could found a settlement for knight, I nearly daydreamed when I realized he ran swiftly, almost gone from sight. I managed to chased him, but he was gone.

"oh no.. I'm lost" I slapped my forehead. Quickly I scrolled the map to find him. great, I don't know his name, so I can't find him.

"what can I help for you miss ?" he rubbed his hand into my back. It was him, again.

"heh ? who..who are you ? I forgot to ask your name" I asked.

"I'm Abeshouta, call me sho..well sorry I left you behind. I'm afraid that Howling wolf guild catched me." he said slowly.

"what guild is that ? and why they're after you ? hmmmf" his hand covered my mouth. Quietly he stepped into nearby tavern, luckily it's . "hahh haah, what are you doing ?"

"That's nothing..don't speak loudly about it, it's dangerous you know."

"Oh I see..eavesdropper" I nodded. "Well you said that I have to cook that meat ? how we should start ?" I shrugging.

"This way, upstairs" he led me there. On the upstairs there are many rooms through the narrow hallways. We walked to the room on the left, he put the card and slide it to the doorknob, just like ia hotel. "I'm home honey." he said, no reply. "hehe just kidding, I'm living by myself here." he sat on a wodden stool, and changed his heavy wool coat into a white t-shirt. "ah, you forgot to say your name, who are you ?" he smlied and gave his hand.

[Abeshouta] now added into your contact.

!update your contact! ・refresh

[Rango] and [Tyler] are erased from your contact.

goodbye, and thanks for all..I smiled. He tilt his head, wondered what I'm doing. I abacked and say my name.

"Iza.." I covered my mouth "no no it's Izvatya. Nice to meet you, and..and thankyou for saving me." I shyly said.

"nah.. it's nothing, just cook me the food that we hunted before."

I waved a gesture with my left hand, then a holographic screen apperaed. I opened the storage menu and searched [cooking utensils]. When I touched the select button, a variouses of shining cooking utensils appeared in front of me. Whooa, it would be expensive having this items in real life. My right hand waved a gesture, another holograph screen appeared, multitasking in this game could be performed if the player's mind could be focused on many things. I scrolled the recipe, and started cooking. If the player have fire elemental magic, the cooking instructions could be simplified, lucky me. The [Mother Rabbids] meat is many, so I could made a dinner for two, the remaining materials were stored in storage.

"Tada..dinner's ready" I put the plate on a dining table.

"Let's eat" he clapped his hands.
