As the person who was running got closer, Xinya saw that it was a young boy around 13 or 14. He wasn"t surprised by this since people over 13 are allowed to play with parent supervision and a guardian inside the game. As a matter of fact, most of the poorer families encourage their children to play at a young age, so they could bring extra income into the house.

Xinya saw that the two monsters that were chasing the boy were Avaha"s, they were a cross between a dog and a snail, fast but slimy and the grossest looking monster in all of the beginner town. They were blind, but have keen hearing, the slightest movement could set them off. As long a person stays completely motionless the Avaha"s aggro would disappear.

Glancing around Xinya saw that there was a tree nearby, if he could get to it he could use his Dryad racial skill of being one with nature to blend in with the tree, to be unseen, but he felt wrong just letting the boy die. After pondering for a bit on rather or not if he should just leave the kid to those monsters or not, he decided to save the boy. Picking up a nearby rock, he threw it at the nearest dog, sprinting forward he grabs the kid and then ran as fast as he could towards that tree, activating his racial skill.

Covering the boy mouth so that he couldn"t speak, he watched as the Avaha"s prowled around the tree where they were hiding for a couple of minutes before wandering off. Xinya stayed motionless in that position until he couldn"t see the shadows of those dogs anymore.

After two more minutes pa.s.sed, Xinya thought it was safe enough. Canceling his skill and pushed the small boy away from him. Getting a better look at him, it turns out that he was a beastman, a wolf hybrid to be exact. Xinya felt an urge to give his head a pat because how adorable the boy looked but didn"t think the boy would appreciate that.

"Thank you for saving me, I would have been a goner if it weren"t for you." The boy said cheerfully.

"Your welcome, but can you tell me why you were fighting here alone at night?" Xinya asked.

Rubbing the back of his head in embarra.s.sment the boy said, "Well I was playing with my older brother earlier, but I had to stop playing to do a bit to do real-world stuff and when I came back, my brother already left beginner town."

"Alright, but that doesn"t tell me why you"re out here at night," Xinya said exasperated.

"I"m getting to that. I wanted to catch up to my brother and you know the monsters give 2x experience at night. I just didn"t think that they would become that strong."

"There"s no such thing as a free lunch, you know." Xinya laughingly replied.

"You can say that again, by the way, I"m Melting Snow and you?"

"I"m Drifting Cloud, it"s nice to meet you," Xinya said smiling.

Getting closer to him Melting Snow started inspecting Xinya everywhere. Getting fl.u.s.tered by him invading his personal s.p.a.ce, Xinya pushes him back.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xinya asks confused.

"Oh sorry, I just realized that you are a Dryad. I wanted to make one too because they look so cool, but my brother told me not too because they"re the most worthless race in the whole entire game."

Even though Xinya knew that wasn"t going to be true soon, his whole entire being suffered damage points when Melting Snow said that, but he just sucked it up and brushes the insult off because he knows that there will be a lot more of them until the update comes, especially when he picks his cla.s.s. Xinya just gives Melting Snow a strained smile and leaves it at that.

Melting snow knew he goofed up, he basically called the guy who saved him a piece of c.r.a.p, well his race anyway. Laughing awkwardly he tried to think of something to segway them into another topic.

"So… what were you off to do, before you had to rescue me?" Melting snow asked.

"Well, I was just going to check out the General store to see what kind of items they had there. I heard it was cheaper than the ones you get when you leave to go to one of the starting cities." Xinya replied.

Tilting his head in confusion Melting Snow said, "Really? I never read anything like that on the forums."

"Oh...well, my friend told me about it," Xinya said.

"I see, well I don"t want to try grinding anymore tonight, so I will come with you if you don"t mind."

"Sure come along," Xinya replied with a smile. Suddenly a notification box popped up.

Melted Snow has added you as a friend do you accept?

Yes or No

Clicking on yes, Xinya and Melted snow made their way to the general store. As they walked or rather as he walked while Melted Snow skipped excitedly, while talking a mile a minute by his side, he had to wonder if he made a mistake by saving the kid.
