After finally managing to escape the chase of the two elven women, Kirou was currently roaming the outer edges of the Thousand Wood Forest. Beneath his body was a two-meter tall, four-meter long black wolf with blood-red eyes. This was the mount that Kirou obtained for completing his part of the <Traces of the Dark Continent> quest. Kirou himself was quite surprised when he saw the kind of mount he obtained from the random mount token he received.
Mount: Blood Shadow Wolf (Rare)
Mount Species: Shadow Wolf
Mount Type: Combat Mount
Mount Requirement: Level 15
Mount Speed: +180%
Skills: Shadow Movement, Feral Roar (Active), Intimidation Stare (Passive), Blood Tracking (Passive)
Going over the stats of his mount, Kirou couldn't stop himself from thinking that the game was kind of biased towards him. This wasn't the first time that he obtained something random from the system that fits his exact skill set.
Kirou hadn't even managed to cross five meters before he was greeted by a huge jellyfish tentacle rushing towards him with deadly intent. Just as the tentacle was about to slam into his body, Kirou used the force of a charged shot from his gunblade tonfa to narrowly dodge it by pushing him to the right of the tentacle. This resulted in him narrowly dodging the attack but sustaining slight damage from the dregs of stones that flew up from the crash site of the tentacle.Slightly shocked, Kirou made sure to keep his guard up while rushing to the main body of the giant jellyfish. That earlier attack gave him an estimate on the strength of the monster and now he only needed to confirm it with his eyes.The giant jellyfish was angry at the fact that Kirou had dodged its tentacle. While staring at the young werewolf, the jellyfish attacked with two more tentacles while simultaneously ordering the Stone Axe Minotaur through its newly established mi

While the system was announcing the first kill for the jellyfish king, Kirou only glanced at the rewards before turning his attention back to the task at hand. Kirou had other things to focus on presently instead of paying attention to the people talking on the world chat or looking at the treasure c
After walking Mistaken Fox safely to the entrance of the cave and seeing him off, Kirou returned to the Underground Cavern. Before him stood an area of roughly a hundred or so square meters of land. Where the land ended, water began and this was a vast underground lake that led out to the sea, if the reflection of the moon at the very edge of the lake is anything to go by. Kirou stared at all of this and knew that he found the perfect place to set up his base, but he didn't start doing anything as of yet.First of all, while there was no monster present, this area was still within hostile territory. If it was the real world then Kirou wouldn't mind setting up shop as is since he would be able to set up defenses from both man and creature alike. Unfortunately for him, this was a game and the only way he could make full use of this entire area was if he claimed the area as his own.After opening the official website using the in-game menu and
After finally waking from his trance, Kirou spent the next half an hour listening to Old Copper talk about certain rare metals that can be found in the area of his secret base, along with those that can be found within the Beast Continent and how to treat them. Following this, Kirou was then teleported to SC Pier City.Arriving at the entrance of SC Pier City, Kirou didn't enter but instead went to a secluded area, summoned out his Blood Shadow Wolf and made his way towards the underground cavern roughly twenty kilometers away. Along the way, Kirou passed by many players, whether intentionally or unintentionally on their part and just flew by them on his wolf while many of the players he passed by looked at his retreating figure in jealousy.Around half an hour into the trip, Kirou noticed that he was being tailed by a group of players. He had met this group sometime after he had just left the city and had thought that they were just another
Situated in the large underground cavern where he fought the psychedelic jellyfish king, Kirou was now sitting before the tied-up gnome thief next to the lake. The duo has been there for over twenty minutes now but Kirou has said nothing during this time while the gnome thief was currently examining his surroundings.At first, the gnome thief was terrified of what Kirou would do to him and wanted nothing more than to make a hasty escape. Unfortunately for him, however, was that he was already bound by Kirou's wires. Even worse, since Kirou had managed to tie him up with said wires without managing to inflict any damage to his character, the system treated the gnome thief similar to how all players are treated while in safe zones, locked out from their offensive skills and at the mercy of anyone who wasn't.After the duo had entered the large cavern, Kirou placed the gnome thief next to the lake before disappearing for a minute or two. When h
[System Message: Are you sure that you would like to use the <Hidden Land Deed>][Y/N]Kirou looked at the message that was displayed before him for a few seconds before he finally made his selection. Following this action, the <Hidden Land Deed> turned into a mass of light which then faded out of existence. Kirou watched as this happened before him, following which he received a new system prompt along with the entire underground cavern being enveloped by an aura of light.[System Message: You have used a <Hidden Land Deed> to claim this area.][As of now, this underground cavern is now the sole property of the player Kirou.][Please give this area a new name.]Reading the new prompts, Kirou went silent for a moment as he thought of a name. In doing so, Kirou thought back to his time on the Grand Desolate Continent. He had experienced many things on that continent, chief of all bei
While Mistaken Fox was excited about his quest to the Demon Continent up north, another of Kirou's acquaintances in-game was getting excited over a different issue. In another part of SC Pier City, both Navi and Reya were currently holed up within a private room within the Alchemy Branch for the Sanming Sect.While Reya was busy forging pills within the cauldron before her, Navi was sitting in a simple chair off to the side. While it looked like she was watching Reya at work, Navi was currently on an important telepathic call."That's right, boss. He said that tomorrow is out but he'll be able to help us out on Monday night. At the moment he is only waiting for a time from us." While Navi was speaking, her voice came across as both calm and professional. This prompted the busy Reya to spare a few glances in her direction every once in a while.[Player Unknown: Very good. I'll deal with things on my end. For now, set up t
Once again, Kirou's eyes were greeted to the roof of his apartment after removing the headset. Kirou didn't immediately get up but decided to let his thoughts wander on all the plans, both short and long term, that he's got in store for the future. With those thoughts in mind, Kirou remained in that position for roughly half an hour, following which Kirou just closed his eyes and went to sleep.Even though his body was perfectly well-rested and he was able to operate the entire day as is, Kirou decided to use the time to get some proper rest. While Kirou rested, he was once again brought into his sea of memories. This time, Kirou was seeing one of his earliest memories as an assassin.**********Lockrim City, North of Grand Desolate Continent.It's been over three years since Kirou had become the apprentice of that mysterious man. During those years, Kirou had been made to witness many things as he a
