Orbis Online
6. The First Quest
Currently, Reus is walking down the main street of the early city—Livetuna—, aiming for the entrance gate at the end of this road. While walking, he wondered to the NPCs and players who were around.
Herb Leaf usually grows under shady trees that have no weeds. From the information provided by a player, Reus also walked out the gate to the forest with a feeling of fear and worry.
Although the forest in question was not far from the city, Reus remained worried as players and NPCs warned that there were many small and weak monsters outside the city. He was advised to find suitable equipment first, because Reus did not have anything in his Inventory at all.
Without speaking their words, Reus kept his steps.
Despite feeling scared and worried, Reus was quite confident towards his martial ability. He is not a martial artist, but his own abilities are good. If Orbis Online is created based on reality, then he can also use his body in the fight for a while—although not 100% sure%.
After a few minutes, he reached the forest without being hit by any obstacles. Around the entrance gate of the city was also not seen a monster. Whether he felt lied or just wanted to be scared, it seemed that the information provided by the players and NPCs he asked missed. Is this just luck, miss-info, or indeed the monsters in question have not appeared?
Without suspecting a single piece of information he got from within the city, Reus walked through the forest looking for Herb Leaf as requested by Louzie. Since he did not know what it looked like, the only way he could get the leaves was to focus his eyesight on every type of leaf he had just met.
It's a hassle, but this is the only way he knows.
“Ah, finally met too!”
As soon as he saw the leaf called Herb Leaf, Reus spontaneously shouted and ran over to him. There were a lot of Herb Leaf plants in the shade of shady trees. He was so enthusiastic about seeing this and immediately picked as much as possible—if he could he would pluck it all.
“{Congratulations, you get the title The Harvester.}”
“Eh?”
In the midst of his activities that he is currently engaged in, there is a sound [System Voice]. Reus who was engrossed in picking Herb Leaf was naturally made to be surprised by him. Confused for a moment, he checked the title he had just won.

“Woaaah!!”
Reus was amazed to see what he had just obtained from the results of picking Herb Leaf since about an hour ago. This is of course a satisfaction for him because it is written on the help panel that skills can only be obtained with a special emblem— except the basic skills of each class.

Alchemy (Levels 1-1)
Can process certain plants into HP Potion I.

Reus' eyes twinkled at the only skill he had. Alchemy was one of the few production-specific skills. This skill is considered very rare by the players because very few players manage to get it.
“All right, let's try this skill.”
With a mood filled with various kinds of flowers, he sat under a tree and looked for a way to use his new skill. After a minute, he finally found a way to use Alchemy.
Reus opened the Inventory and took out 30 pieces of Herb Leaf— putting them all on the grass. He stretched his hand over the stack of Herb Leaf and thought all the leaves had turned into HP Potion I.
In an instant the thirty leaves of Herb Leaf turned into six glass bottles filled with red liquid. Seeing this Reus raised both his hands up and called out for his excitement.
“I don't think I can make my own HP Potion. Despite eating five pieces of Herb Leaf for one bottle of HP Potion I, I guess this is worth it rather than having to buy it.”
He took out and put those six bottles of HP Potion I into his Inventory. Now the Inventory is filled with 472 Herb Leaf sheets and six bottles of HP Potion I. It is better to have a little bit than nothing.
After successfully making six bottles of HP Potion I, Reus again plucked the Herb Leaf until it was not left in this part of the forest. The total Herb Leaf he collected was 3785 pieces. That amount he got from picking Herb Leaf for three hours—not counting an hour before. This means that Reus has been in the world of Orbis Online for more than four hours.
In his activities picking Herb Leaf as much as that, he got an increase in The Harvester title to The Harvester II and The Harvester III which was obtained for picking 1000 and 3000 pieces of Herb Leaf without stopping. With these three titles, he got a considerable rise in status and Respect.
In the real world the time has only increased by two to three hours since Reus set foot in this artificial world. True, the time difference between the real world and the world of Orbis Online is really felt. In this world, time runs twice as fast as the real world. It was developed by Deraft Corporation so that players can feel playing the game longer than they should have if not too long.
“Alright, I guess I'll go back to town, hand over these 10 pieces of Herb Leaf to Louzie, then log out. Time in the real world must have shown at one night.”
Reus stood up and stretched his body for a while, then walked following the pointer of the transparent map panel available before his eyes towards the early city of—Livetuna. He walked with light steps and felt everything was resolved without any problems.
And just as he loosened the surveillance, there were a few small roars behind him.
He looked back to ascertain the source of the roar. There were four wild boars looking at Reus. The white-haired player immediately focused his vision on one of the boars.
There was an explanation in his eyes that he had read in an instant. The boar was named Wild Boar and was level 4— four levels higher than Reus. He who was in the face of the four Wild Boars immediately ran as fast as possible towards the city—sbut pursued by a herd of wild boars.
