Newbie

"Hold it, dude. Do you even know which west of the city I'm talking about?"

"...no"

Serpto then closes his spell and his movement, he began to sit on the side of the bed checking his panel, he began to search and gestures the air looking through the map panel.

"Well listen up then newbie, you can't find anything in the map. It is a word-to-word kind of thing the game doesn't tell you there is an event going on which mean it isn't displayed in the map. West of this city there is a forest, then past it there is a twin hill, check your surrounding carefully though, look for "out of place" object there"

Dedededide the most mysterious and knowledgeable player told Serpto about the anonymous event, he began to think 'why the best player in the Fantasy Server, kidnapped me and told me about the event? She could just go there alone or bring her guild member to raid it clear'.

She just stood there looking at random object placed in the room then she stares at Serpto and break the silence.

"Don't you look at me like that, suspiciously, holding grudge, murder planning, or something. I have good intentions, just asking the newbie to fight alongside us for the first time you know..."

"Ah, really? I'm sorry then, I guess i'm being paranoid, I thought you were planning to loot my corpse"

She facepalm and sigh, then placed a map at the nearby table, however the room table is too small for the map so the unimportant touched the floor.

Dedededide pointed the direction which she just told at the beginning, the mysterious event that very few players know or maybe exclusive to some player.

"Meet me there at... What time is this again?"

"Geez, it is afternoon. 14:27"

Dedededide closes her eyes, smiling, and clapping

"Good memory, at evening alright. I'm out gonna do something, see ya newbie!"

Dedededie sunk down to the floor like it was quicksand, she raises her hand leaving a thumbs up then everything is gone. She has left

Another loneliness, Serpto left in the room alone, again.

"Sigh, what's wrong with this people, and what the hell is evening supposed to be, which evening?!"

Out of reflex he scratches his head but the sound of clacking instead be heard, only bone meets the bone.

Serpto left the room but through the door, he thought it would be good because he didn't know which Inn he has been transported to.

"Hold it, travelers. You gotta pay for the room ya just used. Sigh, people this day think they can just enter the room without paying first"

"Huh? What do you mean i gotta pay? I'm not staying in this Inn you know chief? I was teleported here then left there alone"

"Yeah? I'm almost convinced, it will be 10 coppers per people there, so a total of 20 coppers"

Out of choices, Serpto paid the right amount of coins to the Inn owner, while he murmurs something quietly, although the Inn owner doesn't care his sight is so focused to the amount of coins, 'Damn you, Dedededide. You were planning for this, didn't you? I'm lucky I got some leftover from my transfer yesterday'

"Finally fresh air...

The area is not what Serpto expected, it is the place of high nobles of many races and kings and queens.

HOLY SHIIIII---"

Serpto realizes what he will say next, so he quickly closes his skeletal mouth. The sight was just too fancy to not be amazed at.

Each housing is built like a mansion at giant leave. He can see the whole realm below him and soon realizes where he was. The Great Tree in the fantasy world, myths and ancient belief. The tree of Yggdrasil, he begins to search around.

The tree has been modified like caves but like mall, the branches is their road, the log is another housing inside it but with markets, the leaves is the ground base for the house, the height however doesn't need a concern the leave is protecting the houses from rain.

"How am I supposed to go down from here, wait a minute. What am I going to do again?... Damn it, what's wrong with my mind today I keep forgetting things. Sigh, probably because that woman"

"Serpto is that you?"

A familiar voice, when through Serpto skull he recognizes this voice, a child voice he just met it is Gwen from yesterday counter.

"Aha, I knew it. I wouldn't mistake my savior, he-he. But what are you doing here, I thought you were busy. Ah! Could it be you missed me already?"

She grins smugly, however Serpto just realizes there's many people behind her only one he realizes the butler at the gate this morning.

"Heh, probably. I was just about to leave... And I see you finally have some bodyguards or mercenary?"

"Yeah, I just hire them after I got home. But please don't call them mercenary. I like to think them as a friend you knowww?"

They nod, the elf stood behind her mistress and beside Feralt her bow could be seen clearly because of the massive size and exquisite colors, behind her is two human a pair of couples it seems both holding a sword and a shield it is quite original nothing very impressive about their weapons nor gear.

"What are you doing here anyway, Miss Gwen?"

"Yuck, don't call me that so disgusting it gives me the creep"

"Sigh, alright then, what are you doing here, Gwen?"

"Much better, we don't have to be so formal to each other. I was just heading to town, before I saw you standing in the most corner of the branch looking suicidal that is"

"W-what? I'm not trying to jump if that's what you mean"

Gwen laughs, the others trying to hide their smile while Feralt is the same as usual.
